Page 90 of Ava: Part Two

Did the Council throw parents into Isolation as well? This man needed that.

“I’m an Alpha. What would they do to me if I snapped a little human’s neck?” he snarled.

Something in her made her lift her gaze again. Douche senior had the coldest grey eyes she had ever seen, and they glowed when his wolf started to take over him.

Maybe she had a death wish because the little fear in her had evaporated as if it hadn’t been there. This man was nothing but a bully, and if that was how he was raising his son, she doubted that he made good decisions for his pack. He needed to learn from her father, the most perfect Alpha there ever was. Even if she said so herself.

“I’m still an Omega at this school, and if you touch me, you will answer to the Council. Did your little coward son not tell you?” she said calmly. “I beat him senseless and then did two days in Isolation. They can’t hurt me. Can you say the same? Can you withstand the punishment when the Council gets their hands on you?”

The Alpha’s eyes stopped glowing at that threat, but the anger intensified. This man was intent on getting his hands on her to show his son how he should have handled her. She could see it in his beady little eyes.

“We should go, Father. She’s under the Blood Moon Pack’s protection,” Dexter said.

“Alpha Ezra would never protect a human,” Douche senior growled before he lunged at her.

It all happened in split seconds. One second, he was going for her throat, and the next, she had twisted away and pushed him off. His knocking his head on the edge of the fountain was accidental. And the fact that he wasn’t moving...

Holy sh—

Okay, now that was bad. Though Zeke had done bad things in her name, she hadn’t actually hurt anyone.

She stepped back when Dexter screamed and rushed to his father’s aid. It was only then that the other parents rushed forward.

“Take him to the Infirmary,” someone called out.

“This human needs to be taught a lesson in respect,” another said. “Tell the dean to take her to Isolation. She needs to rot in there.”

What?

“I didn’t do anything. I was defending myself,” she said as she backed away from the forming mob.

“You shouldn’t even be here,” a man snarled. “The fact that you think you can even raise your eyes and speak to us says a lot about your character. Grab her and take her to the dean.”

The dean would be the first to lock her up without explanation. She was supposed to be escaping this place, not trying to survive another round with the evil in that room.

She turned and ran, ignoring the shouts, evading the students and parents who tried to grab her. Adrenaline shot through her veins as she dodged them. They were out of their damn minds. She’d done nothing to deserve this. Why was everything in this place so set on hurting her?

She didn’t realise she had actually outrun them until she reached the woods. She’d outrun a bunch of supernaturals! Ava, a girl who couldn’t even complete her laps in training!

But she didn’t stop running. They could all track her; she couldn’t give them the chance to catch up.

It was only when she noticed how deep into the woods that she had come that she stopped. This close, she could feel the magic in the forest against her skin. Her heart pounded out of her chest as she fell to her knees. What was she supposed to do now? She couldn’t even go to hide at home because of Zeke.

“I don’t know why you still call yourself an Omega. You’re the least submissive person I know.”

She froze, unwilling to turn to the sound of that voice. She wasn’t in the right frame of mind for this. Could she still run?

“Don’t even think of running, little human. Unless you want me to hunt you.”

Chapter 58

Zekewasstilltryingto figure out how his father would retaliate when he located Ava just in time to hear her conversation with that Alpha. He’d been relying on Shadow’s senses to track her down, so he hadn’t made it to the Administration block until the Alpha was lying in a rapidly forming pool of his blood at Ava’s feet.

The sight slightly satisfied his blood lust, but the piece of shit still had a heartbeat. Shadow wanted to rip him apart for stepping up to his mate like that. He should have listened to his son’s warning, but that boy had got things completely wrong. Ava wasn’t under the Blood Moon Pack protection; she was under his. There is a very big difference. A deadly difference.

When Ava started running, he followed, knocking her pursuers out of the way. He didn’t stop when they screamed and didn’t care if they got hurt as he kept his sights on Ava ahead of the crowd. He could see how fast she was going, which was much faster than any human he had ever seen. Either the coach’s training had worked, or his mate still had a lot of secrets she needed to tell him.

And her scent...
