Gamma Harper nodded his head and said, “He is ready
eroine ur son–in–law.”
At the moment that Ava heard her parents, she experienced a disconfort in her chest. From the beginning, she had a strong desire for them to acknowledge Dane as her life partner in their hearts. But today, she was not feeling good to hear that.
Her eyes briefly shifted to Ian’s parents. Martin Dawson and Carolina Dawson were talking to Ian and his friends. The fact that they had been holding such a powerful status for so many years was the reason why they were invited to the celebration.
Tim
On the other hand, they were the parents of Alpha Ian. Since he was invited, they were also invited.
Carolina was checking Ian’s wounds, looking shocked as if she were not aware of his injury.
Their attention was drawn to Ava. She greeted them. Carolina hugged Ava and said,
“For some reason, I was hoping to get the chance to see
you, Ava. It’s nice to see you again.”
Ava was unable to comprehend what she was trying to say. Despite this, she gave her a friendly smile and nodded her head. When she turned her head to look at Ian, she saw that he was s looking at his mother.
Ava wondered if Carolina knew about Ian and her being mates.
In the evening,
A man came to Ava’s house with a dress. He said Alpha
sent the dress for her.
Ian was not pleased with it, but Ava graciously accepted it and made the decision to wear the dress. Ian then left the house along with his parents.
When Ava went to her room and checked the dress, she saw it was a long green–colored dress. It featured full sleeves and a slit in
one of the knees.
After putting on the dress, she examined her appearance in the mirror. The stylish green dress looked perfect on her.
After getting ready, she went to the living room. Her parents and Stephen were the only ones present at her house. Everyone went to stay in hotels.
“My beautiful daughter,” Angela said, kissing Ava’s cheeks.
Ava left the house with her parents.
While heading to the venue, Ava felt strange. She did not know how she would continue her relationship w let her break up at the same time he knew she was aware of his past actions.
Dane. He did not
The venue of the party was on the southern side of the pack. It was the largest hall in the pack and was situated close to the forest. There was a breathtaking view of the forest that could be seen by everyone.
When Ava arrived at the venue, she noticed Dane did not invite the other pack’s Alphas or their families. There were only the key members of this pack and their families present there.
It was because Ian was present in the pack at the moment that Dane extended an invitation to his family to show respect for him as the head Alpha.

She thought Freya should have her time with him since they were hates. She did not think about her mate because she knew Ian should stay away from her for his own good.
She turned around to walk to the other side when she heard Dane’s voice from behind.
“Ava”
She sighed and slowly turned to Dane.
He walked toward her and held her hand. “I was waiting for you.‘
”
Ava’s eyes fell behind Dane. Freya was staring at them with an upset look.
“I just arrived here.”
Dane nodded and said, “Let’s have a dance.”
“No, wait. You should go and have a dance with her,” she said, signaling him to Freya.
Dane glanced at Freya, who was looking at him. Dane turned his head back to Ava and replied,
“You are the person I want to dance with tonight.‘
”
After that, he dragged her into the center of the hall.
Everyone looked at them with admiration. Ava avoided Dane’s gaze when he placed his hands on her waist, pulling her close.
She lowered her head and did not oppose him. It was his birthday celebration. She did not wish to spoil it.
But the fact that someone had just walked into the hall escaped her notice.
