After the class, Ava and her friends walked out of the class.
“Hey! Ava.”
Ava turned around when she heard someone calling her.
She saw Robin coming towards her.
“Oh, the cute boy who has become your partner,” Debra said.
Ava smiled at Robin as he approached her.
“I was wondering if you have some time so we can discuss our project.”
He glanced at Abigaland Debra before returning his gaze to Ava again.
་་
“Bro, you are rude. You didn’t even say hi to us. I almost thought about our da-”
Abigail interrupted Debra by pinching her waist.
“Ouch!”

“Don’t mind her,” Abigail said with a chuckle.
Ava laughed as she saw Debra glaring at Abigail for interrupting her from flirting with the boy.
Ava glanced at her phone to check the time and gave it a thought.
“Actually, my parents are coming back today. So I am a little busy today. Can we talk about it tomorrow?” Ava said with an apologetic tone.
Robin raised his brows as he asked,
“Your parents are out of the pack?”
Ava realized that it was confidential to everyone that Gamma Harper was out of the pack. Her family decided not to talk to anyone about his disease except their close friends.
“Yeah, they went on a vacation for a few days.”
“Oh, I see. No worries.”
Robin walked past her after giving a nod. Abigail and Debra turned their heads as they watched the boy.
“He has some guts, bro. He knows you are Ian Dawson’s girlfriend. Still, he talks to you,” Debra said.
Ava rolled her eyes. “Ian is not a monster; come on.”
Abigail smirked at her. “Yeah yeah. He is a sweet and soft baby boy for you.”
Aya blushed and looked away from her friends.
“Stop teasing me.”
She started to walk with a red face. Her friends never stopped from her teasing.
The girls looked at her with envious eyes; however, they were afraid that if they somehow offended her, lan go.
‘d not let them
When Ava came to the lobby, she noticed Stephen and Ian were talking while leaning against Ian’s car.
Ava walked to them. Seeing her coming, Ian stood straight.

“Going home?” He asked her.
“Yeah.”
“You look happy. It suits you. Always keep smiling like this,” Ian said with a deep tone.
Stephen cleared his throat and said,
“Bro, I am in front of you both. Stop being so cheesy.”
Ian rolled his eyes. “What a luck! Now I have to talk to my girlfriend after thinking about the people around me.”
Ava laughed as she saw their bickering.
Ian was about to open his car door, but Stephen spoke out.
“She is going with today.”
“Why?” Ian asked with a frown.
“I know if you take her with you, she won’t reach home early. Let us have some family time today.”
Ian thought for a moment, then gazed at Ava.
Ava had no say in this. If she would say something, either Stephen, her brother, would mind or Ian, her boyfriend, would get
mad.
So she stood there, folding her arms against her chest.
Ian let out a sigh of defeat and said,
“Okay.”
He pulled Ava into a hug and kissed her cheek. “Bye, baby.”
“Bye,” Ava whispered.
Stephen walked over to his car, and Ava followed him after waving at Ian.
She headed home with Stephen. On their way, they stopped by a mall and bought some accessories to decorate their living room for their parents‘ arrival.
When it was evening, they started to decorate the living room. Maids helped them.
They made sure to give it a welcoming look with a big balloon’s saying,
“Welcome Home”
Ava could not stop smiling, thinking that her parents were returning.
At night, Gamma Harper and Angela returned home.
Ava and Stephen rushed toward them. Ava hugged them, feeling relaxed.
She realized that she had missed them a lot, especially her mother. She had never stayed away from her for this long.
“How are you, my baby?” Angela asked Ava.
Ava kissed her cheek and replied,
“I am totally fine, Mom.”
She smiled and thought,
‘Mom, everything changed in these two weeks. I got my love, the person you have been waiting for to settle with me in my life.‘

She wanted lan to meet her mother as her boyfriend. She had been waiting for the day for a long time. The day would come soon when they would reveal their relationship to their parents.
The four of them had their dinner while talking about how they passed their days. Angela told the two children how brave Gamma Harper was. He had to endure pain during the healing process for his wolf. But he showed bravery, and the cure eventually healed his wolf.
Ava and Stephen went to sleep in their rooms late at night after talking with their parents for a long time.
As Angela saw them go upstairs, all the color in Angela’s face drained.
Harper held her hand, and they went to their bedroom
He made Angela sit on the bed, and he sat next to her.
Harper noticed Angela’s nervous face. He grasped her hand and rubbed the back of it.
“Angela, don’t be concerned. Asy you can see, Ava is completely fine ”
Angela turned her head to gaze at him.
“Harper, you know why I am worried, right?”
He nodded his head. “It’s because we met the Alpha of the Thunder Howl Pack.” 1
Angela felt a shiver when she heard about the young man. She could still remember his dark brown eyes.
“But he didn’t recognize you. There is nothing to worry about.”
She shook her head. Her voice trembled a little as she said,
“But what if he finds out about Ava? She told me she met some members of that pack.”
Harper reassured his wife by giving her a hug and a pat on the back
“He won’t find out. Everything will be fine once she finds her mate”
Angela hugged him back and said,
“You are right. This is the reason I want Ava to find her mate as soon as possible. She doesn’t know about it. But she is not like us. She is different; she is special.”
