While Ava was attempting to retreat, the black wolf pounced on her and pinned her down. She was trying to move it away. However, he growled and pierced her neck with his sharp teeth, sealing her as his.
She could not help but scream.
“NO!”
With that, her eyes opened in shock.
She started to breathe faster when she realized that she was in her bedroom, lying on her bed.
She sat up, wiping her sweat from her forehead. She sighed deeply as she pressed her hand against her forehead.
“It was just a nightmare!” she murmured.
She shook her head and slowly moved to get out of the bed.
However, as soon as her feet touched the cold floor, she hissed.
She froze as she looked down at her feet.
She had a few scratches on her feet.
Her eyes widened as she recalled what had happened last night.
Although the marking was only a dream, she indeed met her mate last night.
And her mate was none other than Ian Dawson!
She recalled what he had said to her before leaving her in the forest.
“I will never reject you, Ava Taylor. You will be mine forever. If you get the chance, you can turn me down. But don’t expect me to reject you again.”
Ava facepalmed herself and lay on the mattress again.
“I am in hell. Was this the reason fate brought me here after all these years? How can he become my mate again?”
She remembered everything that had happened between them four years ago, just as she did last night.
“I need to figure out how to break this bond,” she mumbled, feeling betrayed by her fate.
She freshened up and left her house. She called her friends and asked them to meet her in a cafe. She did not want to keep anything from them anymore.
“What! Alpha is your mate!”
Debra’s shocked voice could almost be heard throughout the cafe. Everyone in the cafe turned to look at them when they heard her.
Abigail was also shocked, but she hurriedly pressed her palm on Debra’s mouth and chuckled at others.
“She has completely lost her mind. We were not talking about our Alpha.”
People gave them a judgmental look, but when they realized it was Model Debra, they gave her a polite s returned to what they were doing.

Debra pushed Abigail’s hard away from her mouth. “Babe, let me go. Let me hear her first.”
Aya
was holding her forehead. She was having a headache, and she knew it was because of last night.
“I encountered him in the forest last night. He was there in his wolf form. A massive, black wolf with red eyes. 1 asked him to reject me. But that… that man doesn’t want to do that. He wants me to suffer even more.”
Abigail stared at Ava for a long time, not saying anything.
When Ava glanced at her, she asked,
“What?”
“Ava, you know what it means, right? He is your mate. Your fated mate. He had rejected you, and the bond had been broken. But this time, the same person was given a second opportunity. It happens very rarely. I had never heard of the same people becoming mates by fate.”
Debra admitted Abigail’s words and added, “She is right. You two are bonded by fates. Just think about it. Otherwise, how did you come this year after so long, and not only that, but you shifted into your wolf form and encountered him? He even learned the truth and felt guilty too.”
Ava did not find her friends‘ words sensible.
“You two. What are you two saying? Have you forgotten about Dane? He is my boyfriend.”
Debra’s brows shot up. “Oh shit! Dane’s presence in this case almost slipped my mind. But you two are not engaged yet.”
Ava shook her head. “You both can’t understand. I like Dane. He is the perfect man for me. Our parents had planned our marriage since we were children. He had done so much for me. I was responsible for that war. His family lost their relatives in the war and lost me from their promise. I want to be with Dane now. We are very happy together.”
Abigail placed her hand on Ava’s shoulder and asked,
“You said a lot of things together. Who are you trying to convince? Us or yourself?”
Ava was stunned. She blinked her eyes, shaking her head. “I was just telling you two what you did not know. Do not confuse me, because my mind is set.”
Abigail gave Debra a quick glance. Debra sighed and asked Ava,
“Ava, do you love Dane?”
Ava froze when she heard the question. When Ian asked her yesterday, she said she loved Dane. But was she really in love with Dane? Had their relationship reached love yet?
“I think I do.”
“Think? You need to confirm yourself. Your life has messed up. “Try to think clearly about who your heart desires, not who your parents set you up with as a child or who has done many things to make you indebted,” Abigail advised.
