Ryder stood up and leaned closer to Ava on the bed."Do you think any of this is a joke?"Ava was a bit scared now, she had never seen Ryder this angry before."I don't think it's a joke" she managed to say."Do you have any idea how scared I was when I didn't see you or how worried I was when I felt your pain?"Ava kept quiet and didn't say a thing because she honestly didn't know what to say. Ryder was worried about her? Why was he worried about her? Didn't he hate her?"please don't get into trouble again, do you hear me?" Ryder pleaded in a whisper. She nodded in response. "I want to hear you say it""Yes, I hear you" she answered."Now lie down and get some rest" he told her as he helped her lie comfortably in the bed. "Ryder?" Ava called his attention. "Yes""those girls you took down their names, one of them, her name is Hannah didn't join them in beating me. She even tried to dissuade them. Don't punish her along with the rest""I have heard you. Now rest."Ava nodded and r

Ava tried to keep herself busy, she watched movies. When she was tired of that, she decided to read some books.She went to the library to get a book. When she got there, she picked a book of fairy tales that looked interesting and was about to leave when she tripped and fell down with the book. She bent down to pick up the book when she spotted something dusty underneath the bookshelf. She pulled it out, to her surprise it was a photo album.She took the album out and used a rag to clean the surface, why would the album be underneath the shelf and be so dusty? She thought to herself.Ava examined it, it looked like it hadn't been open in a long time. She shrugged and opened it to look at it.The first picture she saw was of a young man and woman, if not for the fact that it was an old picture and the clothes they wore was old fashioned. She would have thought it was Ryder and another woman. The resemblance between Ryder and the man was much.This man must be Ryder's father, Ava thoug

Jayden lay on the ground waiting for his death.From nowhere a huge stick flew over his head and hit the wolf squarely in its eyes. The wolf howled in pain.Jayden looked at the wolf confused about what had just happened. He felt someone pick him up and carry him in his arms and run away.Jayden looked at the person carrying him, the person was dressed in black and wore a black mask.The person stopped in front of a shed, Jayden looked at the shed, it was Lavender's shed.Jayden was put down, the person opened the door and pulled Jayden inside before entering inside and bolting the door.He helped Jayden sit on the bed before pulling off his mask, Jayden gasped. It was him, it was Lavender.Jayden hadn't seen him in a long time and he had looked forward to seeing him again. He looked more handsome and his green eyes were still as vibrant as ever."Hey Lavender." Jayden said.Lavender glared at him in response, "For the beta of a pack, you can be really dumb.""Well, hello to you too."

Ava opened her eyes and looked around, she was back in her room. From the pain she felt, she had obviously been injured in that fight she had with those rogues.Suddenly she remembered the kids, were they okay? She looked at her side and saw Ryder, he was sleeping on a chair close to the bed and his head was on the bed.He looked so peaceful when he slept she thought to herself, she reached out and stroked his hair as he slept.His dark curls were so soft to the touch.He woke up and she jerked her hand back. She expected him to yell at her, instead he looked at her in concern."How are you feeling? Do you feel pain anywhere?" he asked."Just a little bit but it's manageable." she told him."Can you tell me what you were thinking attacking those rogues alone?" Ryder asked her."I didn't know where you were holding the hunt, I am not a member of this pack so I can't message anyone through the pack link. Time was running out, if I hadn't given the kids a chance to escape, they would hav

"I knew I should never have helped you guys." Evena told the two of them."It's not like you were forced to lie." Lavender told him."Jayden practically emotionally blackmailed me to lie now Ryder is mad at me, he has never been mad at me before." Evena said.Lavender rolled his eyes, "Welcome to the club.""Who is that girl? That one that came in just now." Evena asked. "She is a prisoner." Jayden told him. "What did she do? Being too cute?" Evena asked. They looked at him weirdly. "What? She is cute." he defended himself. "What did she do, Jayden?" Lavender asked. "She is from Creekwood pack. You guys know creekwood pack right?" Jayden asked them. "That tiny irrelevant pack? The one Lily married the Alpha." Evena asked. "Yes, apparently Ava used to be betrothed to the Alpha and she didn't take too well to being replaced by Lily. She bullied and fought her, the icing on the cake was when she attacked her and Lily almost died. The Alpha removed her from the pack and turned her
