HUNTER I slam my fist hard against the bathroom wall, feeling the cold water pour down my body as I close my eyes. Yesterday was a fucking disaster. Her father was one thing though. His aura was strong, like a beta, which is impossible because apparently, he’s an omega. And omegas aren’t supposed to hold that strong of an aura, right? He can’t be a beta by blood, yet there’s no denying the authority oozing off him. Come to think of it, I heard of a rumor about a beta who stepped down from his rank twenty years ago. No one knew the real reason why, but I had heard some people say he left his duty to be with his mate. Stepping down your rank for a woman? I’d laughed it off and thought it to be the most ridiculous lie I’d ever heard. If it was the truth, I’d say anyone who’d choose his feelings over his duty does not deserve his rank anyway. From the moment I saw Ava’s father that night, I knew it has to be him. There’s no mistaking it. And he’s fucking livid when he looked at me rig

AVAWe arrived in front of the school gates earlier than I had expected. Dad really had to ask that question right before he stops the car at my school. Even from afar, I could feel the students gawking at us.I curl my fists on my lap and nervously look out the window, hyper aware of Dad's narrowing gaze on the side of my head.Words lodged in my throat, and I'm not quite sure if telling him was the right thing to do at this point."Ava?" Dad's voice came with a warning, making me snap my eyes at him in shock.His brows furrow slightly at my reaction, and I'm trying not to space out as I weigh the consequences of him knowing the truth: that Hunter is, unfortunately, the mate Goddess destined for me.I cringe at the thought. Who in the right mind would honestly think it's okay to pair up omega and alpha blood together? I mean, it's simply insane! Goddess knows better than anyone that it would bring unspeakable disasters to the pack.So no, thank you. I'd rather keep this little bit to

AVAMy heart is thundering faster than light all of a sudden, and it wasn't because of this crowd bellowing and yapping as they closed in on me. It was because of the words that came from Hunter's mouth. What did he mean by saying he's going to make me his? Shock written all over the crowd's faces clear as day. Their whistles nearly blasted my eardrums, and their raucous cheers rang deeply in my head the moment sumo girl fell flat on her ass. A funny look plastered on her face telling me she wasn't expecting that from me, neither did anyone in this hall. Especially him.I bite my bottom lip while staring right into his burning amber eyes. They look brighter than usual, and he's looking at me intently like a predator would his prey. A frigil chill runs up my spine. I can't explain it, but something tells me I'm not going to like whatever that look means.Three consecutive claps suddenly fills the air, loud and strong enough to silence the crowd as she steals the spotlight effortless

AVAWithout another word, Hunter moves swiftly away from the lockers, passing by his two friends whose names I'm guessing are Preston and Gomorey. They had been gawking at Hunter with a mischievous grin playing on their lips, and Hunter didn't waste a chance to shoot them both with his penetrating glare. I noticed their pupils retrench as they stared at him, meaning they were conversing with each other through mindlink. It was brief, lasting a couple of seconds before Hunter turns left and straight down the now-empty halls. Before we did, I had stolen a glance back at Scarlet, who eyed me with unspeakable murder gleaming lustrously in her eyes. The blue hues around her irises slowly turning blood-red, making my eyes extend to impossible lengths as her grin widens dangerously. Like a warning that fucking meant she'd be coming for me. I hadn't stared at her long enough to confirm whether my mind was just playing tricks on me or not. But I know what I saw. I feel my heart thundering ber

AVA Sasha didn't lie though. Without another word, she rushed up to me and gently tended to my wounds, helping my body heal faster. Her actions might have been gentle but the murderous glare she was throwing at me for the past thirty minutes says another. After she was done, she stood right up and headed straight for the door, opening it wide before stepping aside. Placing her hand on her hip, She makes a full 180 then shoots me a glare. It's no different with the glare she's been making me swallow earlier. So despite my wounds still aching, I push down all pride and rose slowly from the bed. I already knew she wants me to leave, yet she insists on rubbing it on my face when she screams. "Get out! If Hunter didn't threaten to stop fucking me forever, I would have kicked your ass here in a snap of my fingers!" Her words stung; I admit. Making me realize that being Hunter's mate doesn't mean he'll stop jumping from woman to woman whenever he please. Limping my way to the door, hand
