The whole week passed, and Ava still could not move on from the rejection.
It was because of her broken heart and her wolf.
First, Ian made Nova his girlfriend. Then they roamed around the whole university together, hand in hand, and she tried her best to avoid them. Students did not forget about her and started to pick on her, saying that she should watch who deserved Ian.
Second, her wolf became so weak that she was unable to shift. She tried to shift several times, but her wolf howled inside in pain each time. It became difficult for her to come out.
Ava did not know what to do or who to tell her problems to She talked about her wolf with Abigail. She said she would take her to the pack hospital. However, Ava was concerned that her mother would find out about it.
It was the weekend.
So she did not want to go anywhere. Her life had turned into hell. She became the center of attention, something she did not want. People started to bully her without any reason, especially girls. The boys did not try anything because Luke had scolded them.
That day, after the fight, Luke was injured badly. The doctors had advised him to rest for a few days.
Ava felt sorry for him. It was all because of her. She learned that he was fighting with Ian for her. She apologized to Luke, saying that he had to bear this. But she also thanked him for being her friend.
Ava could only hope that Luke recovered quickly because there would be a basketball match next month. She would never forgive herself if he failed to perform well due to the wound. Doctors said he would be fine soon. So that was a relief.
Even though it was the weekend and Ava wanted to stay at home all day, she had to go outside today.
It was finally time to visit the pack house and meet Alpha and Luna.
Ava’s mother, Angela, bought a dress for her to wear tonight.
Ava was looking at the dress while observing it. The dress was long and lemon grass–colored, with black sleeves. It also had a ribbon around the waist to help the dress fit the body.
She made up her mind to wear it since her mother had bought it for her.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She recalled what her mother had told her at lunch.
She wanted her to be decent. She did not want her to wear the glasses. When Ava asked why she could not wear it, Angela replied that Alpha and Luna were not the ones she should hide herself from.
Ava pulled her hair back into a high ponytail. She thought for a moment not to wear the glass. But she then wore it.
If she changed her appearance slightly, that boy would assume she did so to attract his attention. She did not need to look perfect.
She did not touch her makeup. She used a nude colored lip tint to give a natural look to her lips. She then walked out of her room wearing black sneakers.
She noticed her mother was already ready. She smiled at her beautiful mother.
“Mom, why are you so beautiful?” Ava said that and hugged her mother.
Her mother was dressed in a simple white gown. She put on light makeup and looked stunning. She was in her

late thirties, yet she looke like she was in her early thirties
Ava called a cab to go to the pack house. When they arrived there, Ava looked at the house carefully.
She tried to recognize the house. But she had no memory of this house, despite the fact that her mother had taken her there several times as a child.
“They are very kind people. Don’t say anything that will offend them or their son, who is our future Alpha. Because of their gratitude, we are still alive, living like normal pack members here.” Her mother reminded her when they were heading inside.
“Got it, Mom,” she assured her.
She entered the pack house and looked around at the stunning decorations. It was a massive house with numerous maids and servants. There were guards here and there.
Since the Alpha and his family lived there, it was the most secure and well–guarded home in the entire pack.
“Angela”
She heard a female voice calling her mom, so she turned to the owner of it.
She noticed a gorgeous lady was coming downstairs. Beside her was a handsome middle–aged man. Anyone could ‘say he was a powerful man by just giving him a glance. Ava understood that they were Alpha Martin and Luna Carolina.
She immediately bowed to them when she saw her mother doing that.
“All hail to our Alpha and Luna,” Ava said while bowing.
Alpha Martin chuckled as he and Luna Carolina walked to them.
“I must say, Angela. You brought up your daughter really well,” Alpha Martin remarked.
Luna Carolina placed her hand on Ava’s head and ordered,
“Raise.”
Ava stood straight and looked at them. Both of their faces had warm smiles.
“Let’s have seats.” Alpha Martin said this and walked to the couches. They all went to join him.
“I can’t believe that little brave girl has grown so big. I still remember how she used to talk,” Luna Carolina said. Ava’s mother nodded her head. “Yeah. But she has changed a lot now. She speaks less now.”
“Don’t be shy, little girl. We are like your family,” Alpha Martin said as he tried to make her comfortable around them.
“Yeah. You both are really family. Your mother has done so many things for me. I can’t even repay her,” Luna Carolina said. She recalled how Angela worked so hard day and night, just to nourish her good health.
“That’s nothing, Luna. You both let me and my daughter stay here as your pack members. That’s enough for us.” Ava’s mother, Argela, ensured her.
Luna Carolina smiled at Angela, but then her gaze fell to the door.
“You are back!” She said that and stood up.
Ava became curious as to who she was speaking with, but her eyes froze when she turned to look at the person, who was dressed in a black full–sleeve shirt and black jeans had no brow or ear piercings, and looked like a

She then heard Luna Carolina’s pleased tone,
“Here is my son, Ian.”
