    Tan looked at Ava when the girl told him that Stephen''s sister hade to the


    party.


    He waspletely blown away by Ava''s stunning look. It was difficult for him to tear his eyes away from her because she had such an alluring appearance.


    He saw Ava avert her eyes from him.


    n," the girl called him when she noticed he was staring at Ava.


    "Hmm?"


    "Will you spend your night with me?" the girl asked seductively. She rubbed her hands against his abs over his half -sleeved ck t-shirt.


    "Let''s see how much you can seduce me," he winked at her. A blush appeared on her face, and she started kissing his neck.


    In spite of the fact that the girl was making an effort,n''s eyes were fixed on Ava.


    As he observed her engaging in conversation with other people, she appeared to be in a lighthearted mood, as if she did not care about the fact that he was with another girl


    His brows arched when he noticed a boy approaching her. He reached out and she shook hands with him, and then! she started talking to him as if they were already acquainted with one another.


    n?"


    The girl whispered in his ear, but he was not interested in what she had to say, nor did her sweet and seductive voice entice him. In fact, it annoyed him. He wrapped his hand around her waist and moved her away from him.


    The girl was startled by his sudden action.


    "I am so sorry. Did I offend you?"


    "Leave," he muttered as he stood up from the couch. He was sitting in the lounge area all this time. But all of a sudden, his mood had spoiled suddenly. He was in need of a drink.


    "Butn, I felt that we would have a conversation."


    "Go and find someone else. I havepletely lost my mood" Saying that,n headed to the bar.


    Soon after he ced his order for a drink for himself, his attention was drawn back to Ava.


    Ava and the boy were bothughing together. The boy kept saying something, leaning into her ear as if he were a joker and telling her new jokes.


    The bartender ced a drink in front ofn and said,


    "Sir, your drink."

    "I could feel a smell,”n heard a volce say as someone came to join him in the bar


    "Maybe you found your mate," he replied without turning his head to the person.


    He did not need to turn to understand who the person was was his best friend, Ronald Sce.


    "No, dude. It''s a smell of burning," Ronald said, sniffing in the air. He moved his head towardsn and took a whiff from his shirt.


    "Got it! It''sing from you," Ronald let out and chuckled


    "Fuck off."


    "Come on. You know we have a connection, as we are going to have an Alpha-


    Beta rtionship very soon. I can feel when you need me."


    "But I could feel it."


    Ronaldughed and shook his head. He followedn''s gaze and saw him looking in Ava''s direction.


    "Why is your gaze following her? Are you not here to distract your mind so you can regain your sanity?"


    "I''m not following anyone."


    "Oh shit!"


    Ronald said with a dissatisfied tone.


    "What?"n asked.


    "Look who''s here."


    "What is she doing here?"n inquired while looking at Nova, who had just entered the house to attend the party.


    Ronald turned his gaze toward Stephen, and his mind linked to him.


    "Didn''t you say Nova was not invited? Then how did shee here?" Ronald asked Stephen.


    Stephen turned around and found Nova approaching him.


    "But I didn''t invite her. I don''t know how she got here," Stephen replied in the mind link.


    He nced atn, who was ring at him. Stephen looked away fromn right away. He was the one who assuredn that he would not call Nova there. How would he now exin this ton?


    Meanwhile,


    Ava was busy talking with Luke''s friend, She recognized him when he approached her. She had met him at Luke''s party.


    She did her best to avoidn. She had absolutely no desire to look at him at all.


    "What can we expect from a yboy?" Abigail said this to Ava when she went to sit next to her after ending my

    conversation with Luke''s riend.


    "What are you both talking about?" she asked Abigail and Debra.


    "We are talking aboutn Dawson. He has a girlfriend, but he is still roaming


    around with another girl. I bet he will sleep with her tonight," Debra said.


    Ava looked atn and noticed him looking somewhere. At the time, she followed


    his gaze and saw Nova conversing with Stephen.


    "She almost caught him red-handed," Abigail muttered.


    "No, I think she told him she wasing. So he let go of the previous girl and


    went to have a drink to show his girlfriend how loyal he is." Debra made a point in the conversation. 1


    Ava did not pay any attention to what they were saying and instead said,


    "Whatever, I don''t care."
