The person was none other than lan Dawson. He was looking at her indifferently.
Ava frowned at him and stepped aside. “I’m sorry.”
Ian did not respond to her, as if she suddenly became invisible to him. She was perplexed by his behavior.
He was okay with her at her mother’s wedding. Then what did she do to offend him? She recalled the time he hugged her. She felt a shiver around her spine just thinking about it. She realized she had taunted him by talking with Nova.
Was that why he was behaving cold with her again?
Ava shrugged her shoulders and walked past him.
‘I don’t care,‘ she thought, and she went to her class.
It was noon when she and her friends decided to go to the party together tonight.
“I can’t believe your brother. He didn’t even invite his father or your mom to the celebration party. It should be his father’s party, not his,” Debra said.
“He said it’s a party for us. So he didn’t invite Dad. I know even if he had invited Dad or Mom, they would not have come. In fact, they said Stephen did that for his own satisfaction. It’s just like another party he threw,” Ava replied.
“What can we expect from the power gang?” Abigail mumbled, glancing at Stephen’s friends.
Ava turned her head in their direction. Her eyes fell on Ian, who was smoking while sitting in the trunk of his car. Her brother was also sitting with him. All of the boys were laughing about something.
Sometimes it felt terrible that they were the future of the pack. They were just a bunch of bad boys who did not have any rules or regulations. In fact, they liked to break laws. 1
Stephen gazed at Ava as he raised his brow as if asking her what had happened.
She shook her head as she thought her brother was an exception. He had a good side.
Ava walked to Abigail’s car. Debra entered the backseat, while Abigail sat in the driver’s seat. Ava occupied the passenger seat.
Abigail started the car as they decided to visit Ava’s new home.
“I can’t believe that I am going to visit Gamma’s house,” Debra exclaimed with excitement.
It was rumored that among all the officials, Gamma Harper was the richest man. So visiting his house was something like going to a palace.
Ava giggled at Debra’s excitement. She glanced at Abigail, whose eyes were focused on the road.
“What are you thinking?” Ava asked her.
“Nothing much.
Ava’s phone rang at that time. She checked her phone and saw Luke’s message.
“Are you coming tonight?”
Today Luke did not come to the university, so they could not talk about the party with him.

“What if it’s Luke who sent you a text from another profile” Abigail said it with a doubtful glance.
“Maybe. It’s possible.” Debra let out immediately.
Ava replied to Luke,
“Yes, I’m coming.”
Then she turned to her friends and said,
“I don’t know. But if it’s Luke and he was joking with me, will unblock him.”
After a while, they arrived at Ava’s new house. The moment Abigail and Debra stepped inside, they were in awe.
“It’s so beautiful!”
“I’m impressed.”
They complimented the house as they looked around.
“And I’m surprised to see you both. What a pleasant surprise, my dear.”
Ava’s mother’s voice reached their ears. They turned around and met Angela.
Angela gave Abigail and Debra a heartwarming hug. She was happy that Ava had some good friends.
Ava smiled at her mother. She was happy that she came back earlier today.
Three of them talked to Angela as they discussed how everything was going in the hospital.
“As you all know, we don’t have witches in our pack. So we don’t have a cure to heal most of the patients who have unknown diseases. But Alpha Martin said in the future he would ask them to send a few witches here from the coven of another pack.”
Hearing Angela, Ava and her friends were stunned. Were they going to live with them at the same place? How would they live together?
When it was evening, Ava’s friends instructed their drivers to take their clothes to her house.
But Ava stopped them and told them to try a few of her clothes since she had many new ones.
Abigail and Debra thought about it, but when they saw how nicely the designer dresses were arranged in Ava’s closet, they agreed and tried some of them.
They decided on Ava’s dress first. They said,
“It’s your parents‘ celebration party, so it’s our responsibility to get you ready first.”
They picked out a violet, knee length sleeveless dress for her.
Ava put on the dress, and they helped her get ready.
When they were done with her makeup, they got ready themselves.
Ava looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Her friends really did nice makeup.
She decided to let her hair down. She wore a pair of black heels and waited for her friends to finish their makeup. When they were done, three of them left the house, making their way to the address where the party was goil. It took them forty minutes to reach the place. Ava realized that it was a villa. It was one of the villas of Gamma

Harper, which his only so used as his party place.
“Coine on, girls. Let’s blow boys‘ minds with our looks,” Debra stated and entered the party along with others. As Ava moved through the crowd and passed the boys, she felt uneasy. They were almost touching her body by leaning towards her. She tried her best to ignore them and follow her friends.
Abigail stopped Debra and Ava as she saw Stephen.
“Do you want to meet your brother, the party host, first?”
Ava turned her head in that direction to look at her brother
Stephen waved at her. Ava smiled at him, but then her smil faded when her eyes shifted behind Stephen.
Ian was talking with a girl who was not Nova. That girl was sitting or his lap while hugging his neck.
He smirked at the girl. But when the girl said something in his ear, his head turned in Ava’s direction and his gaze locked with hers.
