Nova’s eyes widened in shock. Her lips began to tremble. “lan, what are you saying?”
Ian let out a deep breath when he noticed how she was looking broken. It was not that he had any soft spots for her, but she was the beta’s daughter. He did not want to mess with any official’s family before inheriting the throne.
He was not interested in leading the pack in the future. But as the only heir, he was responsible for the pack.
His great–grandfather won the Mystic Shadow Pack several decades ago. Following that, his family continued to run the pack, fulfilling all of their responsibilities and carefully protecting the pack members. They never disappointed any of the members and always made the best decisions for them.
His father, Alpha Martin, was one of the most powerful Alphas in their pack’s history. It was the reason why people had higher hopes for Ian.
Because Ian would have to maintain the pack like him, Alpha Martin behaved strictly with him. He always tried to discipline him. However, his son turned into a troublemaker whom no one could tempt.
“Listen, Nova. Don’t force me to do something that I don’t want. I am Ian Dawson. You can’t blackmail me. You may think you trapped me that night. But it was my decision to make you my girlfriend. My parents wanted a girl, and I thought you matched their preferences. But I don’t want to listen to them anymore. I will live as I want. No one can order me around.”
Nova took a step back when she heard Ian. She could see rage in his eyes.
She could not help but wonder what had caused him to be so angry.
She grabbed his hand and rubbed the back of it gently.
“Ian, are you mad that I complained about Stephen? I am sorry. I will never argue with any of your friends. Please forgive me.”
Ian shook his head. “Why can’t you just leave me alone? How many times have I told you that I have no interest in you?”
She frowned at him and leaned close to him. She placed her hand on his chest, moving it down to rub his abs. She was attempting to seduce him, assuming that he wanted to have sex with a girl to relieve his stress, so why not seize the opportunity?
Ian yanked his hand away from her grip, pushing her away from his body.
“It doesn’t suit a beta’s daughter. Stop fooling around and maintain your father’s reputation.”
He turned around to head to his car.
Nova rushed behind him and held his hand once again.
“Please, Ian. Don’t break up with me. If you do, I will kill myself.” 1
Ian tightened his fists and turned his head at her. His stern look made her lose her grip. She felt a shiver in her spine from his glare.
He grabbed her jaw, causing her to hiss with pain.
“Did you just try to blackmail me again? Have you forgotten who I am?”
She began to tear up as she patted his hand in fear of breaking her jaw.

“I am the most beautiful girl on campus, even in the whole pack. People call me this pack’s princess. Why are you breaking up with me? What I don’t have?”
He released her jaw and said, “Your beauty has never piqued my interest. And you are talking about beauty?”
He sneered after saying that. But then his eyes turned darker, and he muttered in a cold tone,
“Girls that are more beautiful than you used to warm my bel. That doesn’t mean I will make them Beauty does not last forever, you know.”
my girlfriend.
She parted her lips as a gasp came out of her mouth. She was adamant about not letting him leave her.
“Your parents know that I am your girlfriend. They will never accept this breakup.”
He raised a brow and asked, “Do you think anyone can stop me from getting what I want?”
She retreated a few steps in her steps. Ian took notice of her expression of disbelief. He unlocked his car and walked to the door. He opened the door and gazed at her.
He smirked at her and said,
“Don’t try to spread false rumors on campus about me. I don’t know when I will lose my mind. Have a good night. You are free from now on. Find a good boy and settle with him.”
After saying that, he got in his car and drove away.
Nova stared at the car until it left the area. She stomped her feet on the ground in anger.
“How can you just leave me? I have been trying to get you for a long time. What made you break up with me, Ian? I will find out about it and get what I want back. I promise you that.”
Meanwhile,
Ian’s smirk vanished as soon as he started driving. His cold eyes were focused on the road.
His tattooed hand was rotating the whirling wheel. His fingers were clenching it firmly.
He was not thinking about the conversation with Nova.
Instead of thinking about his breakup, his mind was full of Ava.
The way she talked to him and said those things, he felt strange in his heart. Her words stabbed him in the heart, and he had no idea why.
He despised it because no girl had ever spoken to him in that way.
When he pulled over the car in the pack house, he went inside.
As soon as he entered, his steps halted.
He noticed his father was sitting on the big couch with his mother.
He ignored them and decided to go to his room. But his father’s voice stopped him.
“Why did you break up with her?”
Ian sighed as he realized Nova had already told her father, and he had also informed his father.
He turned around and walked towards his parents. They stood up, looking at him.
“Ian, you mentioned being with her back then.”

“Mom, I can’t be with her. I don’t like her anymore. Just don’t force me.”
Alpha Martin got enraged by his statement. He moved towards lan and grabbed his collar.
“Listen to me, Brat. You can’t always follow your desires.”
Ian shifted his focus and met his father’s eyes.
He reached for his hand and removed it from his collar.
“Alpha Martin, just because I am your son does not give you the authority to control my private life. I will date whoever I want and break up as well.”
