A look of grievance appeared on lan’s face as he turned around. He observed his mother giving him a sideways glance while she was speaking.
“Okay, take care. You can count on me to accompany you tomorrow,” Carolina said to Angela and hung up the call.
The conversation that Ian’s mother was having puzzled him. In the belief that he was misinterpreting something, he approached her.
“When did you come?” Carolina inquired with a grin on her face.
He frowned at her. “When you were talking on the phone. By the way, why do you look so happy today?”
A look of surprise appeared on her face. “Why are you speaking like this? Are you not happy?”
The question that she asked caught Ian off guard. “Do I need to be happy? What’s the matter, Mom? I overheard you discussing marriage with Ava’s mother.”
His mother nodded her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. “I am thrilled that Ava and Stephen are mature enough to accept the proposal.”
“Proposal?” Ian asked while narrowing his eyes in concentration.
“Hasn’t Stephen told you about the marriage yet? I was the one who gave Angela the proposal that night when she came here with Ava. But Angela denied my proposal because she thought Ava would not be ready for it.” (1
Ian was taken aback by what his mother was telling him.
Did his mother give Ava’s mother a marriage proposal for Ava and Stephen?
“My son, you have no idea how mature the two kids are. They both agreed,” his mother said as she held his hand.
Ian snatched his hand away from her grasp, which caused her to be taken aback.
“What happened?”
“Mom, why did you do that? How can you give someone a marriage proposal like that? Isn’t it influencing people to marry at this age?” 1
His mother raised her brows in surprise.
“How can you say that? Age doesn’t matter in love.”
“Love?” Ian muttered in a lower tone.
Carolina lowered her gaze and inhaled deeply before closing her eyes. One more time, she took hold of her son’s hand and uttered,
“Listen to what I have to say, Ian. I am not only your mother but also the Luna of this pack. As your Luna, let me guide you about something. Age doesn’t matter in love. You can love anyone you want, and you can be with that person at any age. There is absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed about anything. If the Alpha and Luna are not going to support his pack members, who will? You will be their Alpha, so you should improve your mentality well.” 2
Upon hearing his mother, Ian’s eyes became more gloomy. “Please, Mom, stop giving me a lecture. They can’t be together.”
“What? Why? They are fated mates. Why can’t they be together?”

lan arched his brows. “What did you say?”
“Yes, they are mates. But they were keeping it from everyone. Now that we are all aware of it, how can we change their fate? They look so good together. It was always meant for them to be together.”
“Mates?” Ian scoffed at her.
He began chuckling, which grew into a dark laugh.
The sight of his son’s eyes turning red caused Carolina to take a deep breath. Though she was still the Luna, she somehow felt nervous around her son’s aura.
“I can’t accept it,” lan murmured.
“What can’t you accept?” The voice of Alpha Martin reverberated throughout the living room.
After turning around, Ian and Carolina noticed that Alpha Martin was coming closer to them.
“This marriage, I can’t accept it,” Ian said with a blank face 1
“What nonsense! You can’t come between my gamma’s happiness. He deserves to be happy in his life.”
Ian assumed he was referring to Stephen, the future Gamma of this pack.
“As the future Alpha of this pack, I will not allow this to happen.”
Alpha Martin glared at his son. “Are you serious? Don’t you have anything else to do? I don’t understand why you would bother with something that has nothing to do with you. Stop making trouble. After giving it some thought, I settled on a date. Their wedding will be next week.”
Ian’s eyes widened. He clenched his fists and asked,
“What did you just say?”
Carolina nodded her head and replied to him instead of Martin, “Your dad is right. We are arranging a private wedding. Tonight, they had a family dinner together and made all of their decisions. And more importantly, Ava and Stephen both contacted me, saying that they wanted the wedding as soon as possible.” 1
Ian gritted his teeth and muttered, “How dare she?”
“IAN”
His father yelled at him, but he did not give a damn about it He turned around and left the pack house. He grabbed the car keys from the guard he handed over a few minutes ago and started the car in anger.
He saw that his friends were calling him. While he was driving, he received the phone call.
“Ian, your mom has just called us to talk about you. Where are you? Your parents are worried. Did you have an argument with them?” Cyrus asked.
“I’m going to Stephen’s house,” Ian said, cutting the call.
During the whole ride, his mind was going crazy. He did not know why, but his blood was boiling in anger.
“How dare you lie to everyone, Ava Adler? You said that he is your mate? What a shameless woman you are!” he muttered while driving his car. 1
As soon as he arrived at Stephen’s residence, he immediately came to a stop and stepped out of the car in a hurry. After making his way to the front door, he went inside the house. The maids bowed to Ian because they knew him.
