    After the ss, Ava and her friends walked out of the ss.


    "Hey! Ava."


    Ava turned around when she heard someone calling her.


    She saw Robining towards her.


    "Oh, the cute boy who has be your partner," Debra said.


    Ava smiled at Robin as he approached her.


    "I was wondering if you have some time so we can discuss our project."


    He nced at Abignd Debra before returning his gaze to Ava again.

    "Bro, you are rude. You didn''t even say hi to us. I almost thought about our da-”


    Abigail interrupted Debra by pinching her waist.


    "Ouch!"


    "Don''t mind her," Abigail said with a chuckle.


    Avaughed as she saw Debra ring at Abigail for interrupting her from flirting with the boy.


    Ava nced at her phone to check the time and gave it a thought.


    "Actually, my parents areing back today. So I am a little busy today. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Ava said with an apologetic tone.


    Robin raised his brows as he asked,


    "Your parents are out of the pack?"


    Ava realized that it was confidential to everyone that Gamma Harper was out of the pack. Her family decided not to talk to anyone about his disease except their close friends.


    "Yeah, they went on a vacation for a few days."


    "Oh, I see. No worries."


    Robin walked past her after giving a nod. Abigail and Debra turned their heads as they watched the boy.


    "He has some guts, bro. He knows you aren Dawson''s girlfriend. Still, he talks to you," Debra said.


    Ava rolled her eyes. "Ian is not a monster;e on."


    Abigail smirked at her. "Yeah yeah. He is a sweet and soft baby boy for you."


    Aya blushed and looked away from her friends.


    "Stop teasing me."


    She started to walk with a red face. Her friends never stopped from her teasing.


    The girls looked at her with envious eyes; however, they were afraid that if they somehow offended her,n go.


    ''d not let them


    When Ava came to the lobby, she noticed Stephen andn were talking while leaning againstn''s car.


    Ava walked to them. Seeing hering,n stood straight.

    "Going home?" He asked her.


    "Yeah."


    "You look happy. It suits you. Always keep smiling like this,"n said with a deep tone.


    Stephen cleared his throat and said,


    "Bro, I am in front of you both. Stop being so cheesy."


    about the people around me."


    Avaughed as she saw their bickering.


    "She is going with today."


    "Why?"n asked with a frown.


    "I know if you take her with you, she won''t reach home early. Let us have some family time today."


    Ian thought for a moment, then gazed at Ava.


    Ava had no say in this. If she would say something, either Stephen, her brother, would mind orn, her boyfriend, would get


    mad.


    So she stood there, folding her arms against her chest.


    "Okay."


    He pulled Ava into a hug and kissed her cheek. "Bye, baby."


    "Bye," Ava whispered.


    Stephen walked over to his car, and Ava followed him after waving atn.


    She headed home with Stephen. On their way, they stopped by a mall and bought some essories to decorate their living room for their parents'' arrival.


    When it was evening, they started to decorate the living room. Maids helped them.


    They made sure to give it a weing look with a big balloon''s saying,


    "Wee Home"


    Ava could not stop smiling, thinking that her parents were returning.


    At night, Gamma Harper and Ang returned home.


    Ava and Stephen rushed toward them. Ava hugged them, feeling rxed.


    She realized that she had missed them a lot, especially her mother. She had


    never stayed away from her for this long.


    "How are you, my baby?" Ang asked Ava.


    Ava kissed her cheek and replied,


    "I am totally fine, Mom."


    She smiled and thought,


    ''Mom, everything changed in these two weeks. I got my love, the person you have been waiting for to settle with me in my life.''

    She wantedn to meet her mother as her boyfriend. She had been waiting for the day for a long time. The day woulde soon when they would reveal their rtionship to their parents.


    The four of them had their dinner while talking about how they passed their days. Ang told the two children how brave Gamma Harper was. He had to endure pain during the healing process for his wolf. But he showed bravery, and the cure eventually healed his wolf.


    Ava and Stephen went to sleep in their roomste at night after talking with their parents for a long time.


    As Ang saw them go upstairs, all the color in Ang''s face drained.


    Harper held her hand, and they went to their bedroom


    He made Ang sit on the bed, and he sat next to her.


    Harper noticed Ang''s nervous face. He grasped her hand and rubbed the back


    of it.


    "Ang, don''t be concerned. Asy you can see, Ava ispletely fine "


    Ang turned her head to gaze at him.


    "Harper, you know why I am worried, right?"


    He nodded his head. "It''s because we met the Alpha of the Thunder Howl Pack." 1


    Ang felt a shiver when she heard about the young man. She could still


    remember his dark brown eyes.


    "But he didn''t recognize you. There is nothing to worry about."


    She shook her head. Her voice trembled a little as she said,


    "But what if he finds out about Ava? She told me she met some members of that


    pack."


    Harper reassured his wife by giving her a hug and a pat on the back


    "He won''t find out. Everything will be fine once she finds her mate"


    Ang hugged him back and said,


    "You are right. This is the reason I want Ava to find her mate as soon as possible. She doesn''t know about it. But she is not like us. She is different; she is special."
