Stephen tightened his fists in anger. "How dare you even say that?"

Ava could not understand why that guy wanted to see her. The way that guy gazed at her with his green eyes, she felt intimidated.

Ava noticed that both Luke and Stephen looked angry at the guy. Her brother was angrier.

She could still feel that boy's finger on her forehead, sending shivers down her spine. It was a horrible sensation for her. She had never experienced anything like that.

She was nearly shaken inside by what he had done to her.

"What do you want to talk about?" She asked the boy.

The boy's eyes turned sharper as he tilted his head, giving the vibe that he was not afraid of anyone.

Ava was able to understand his thoughts. Why would the boy be afraid of anyone if he could give them an electric shock by simply touching their foreheads?

Ava's thoughts could not last for long because a voice came from behind her which caused the green avert his gaze away from her.

"What's going on here?"

Ava looked over and noticed lan. His brows knitted as he gave the boy á look. With a swift expression change, the boy answered,

"Ian Dawson."noveldrama

It was a kind of greeting that the boy had not done to the other two boys.

lan moved over to stand beside Ava. Ronald was with him.

Stephen did not look at lan. He looked still mad at him.

Meanwhile, Luke was not pleased to see lan there beside Ava. So he grabbed Ava's hand and said,

"I will drop you home. Let's go with me."

Ava looked at their hands, then cast a glance at the green-eyed boy.

"He can't handle you. Don't be with him," the green-eyed boys said.

Stephen growled at the boy and asked,

"Now you will tell who my sister should stay with or not?"

The boy shook his head and replied,

"I may not be her enemy but her well-wisher."

lan stepped toward the boy. He stopped in front of him and brushed his shoulder. boy to

"I am still unaware of your identity. But I can only guess based on what I have seen from a distance. You were bothering my friend," lan said, glancing at Stephen.

Stephen could not remain calm as he spoke out.

"He is stalking Ava. He is from the Thunder Howl Pack. He said he wants to talk with Ava."

Upon hearing Stephen, lan raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to talk about with her?"

It was the same question Ava had asked the boy earlier.

"I can't tell you. I want to observe her and-"

lan grabbed the boy's neck to stop him from speaking further.

Ava gasped with surprise.

lan glared at the boy and muttered in a low tone, which no one could hear.

"Observe what? She is mine. Do you still have the balls to check her?"

The boy's eyes widened by his actions and words.

"Y-Yours? But that boy said he is her girlfriend," the boy said while pointing his finger at Luke.

lan glanced at Luke and grinned at him. He turned his head back to the boy and said,

"Let him believe that. Do you still want to learn more about her?"

The boy shook his head. Ian loosened his grip around the boy's neck and said,

"I am letting you go for now. Every one of your men is leaving. If you want to stay alive, you should leave as well."

As if lan's warning had worked, he glanced at Ava one last time before leaving the university.

lan turned around to look at Ava. "See? This is why you should be with me. I made him leave in a second."

Ronald let out a chuckle. Stephen stared at lan without letting out any words.

Luke glanced at lan and Ava, who were looking at each other. He cleared her throat before patting Ava's hand.

"Ava? Are you coming with me?"

Ava averted her gaze from lan. She was about to answer yes when Stephen said,

"She is going back home with me."

Luke felt upset, but he did not stop Ava.

"Then I'm leaving. See you tomorrow," Luke said to Ava.

Ava gave him a nod. Luke glanced at others and thought of something. He moved closer to Ava and hugged her.

lan's blood boiled when he saw that. Ronald grabbed his arm and murmured, "Calm down. That's just a hug."

lan's eyes moved on Luke's hand, which was wrapping around Ava's waist. Ava also hugged him, which did not fit with lan.

He rolled his eyes and looked away from them. Luke took his leave and got in his car, then drove away.

Stephen walked towards his car. Ava was about to sit in the front seat beside Stephen, who had just started the car.

But before that, Ronald grasped the door's corner and uttered,

"Let me sit with Stephen. You can sit in the back seat."

Ava did not say no to him. But she wondered where Ronald's car was.

Ronald bent down to look at Stephen after opening the door

"Take lan with us."

Stephen held his hand still. He turned his head and gave Ronald an angry look.

Ronald hurriedly sat beside the driver's seat before closing the door.

Ava leaned her back against her seat. But then the door opened once again from outside.

When Ava looked over, she saw lan getting into the car.

"What are you doing?" she asked lan.

Jan sat next to her and smiled at her.

"What am I doing here? Well, I am going to accompany you. I thought you would

feel bored."

He winked at her. Ava rolled her eyes and turned to look out the window.

Stephen looked in the rearview mirror and saw lan staring at Ava.

"He is broke right now. Don't you think we should help him? Even though I am

aware that you and lan are at odds, you two fought..."

Ronald paused because Ava was inside the car with them. With a laugh, he said,

"Let's help the future Alpha for today, okay?"

Stephen looked at Ronald and asked,

"What makes you sit here? She could have sat next to me."

lan sneered at Stephen and spoke out,

"Calm down, buddy. I am not going to eat your sister alive, but I have plans to do

so later." (3)
