Page 105 of Ava: Part Two

"A soundproofed dungeon," he answered honestly.

He'd already marked the man's daughter. There was no point hiding the truth now.

"Are you shitting me?!"

"Not in the slightest. But it's the only place where we are guaranteed privacy," he answered as he continued down the steps.

Alpha Morgan followed, and when he looked around, he sensed a lot of disappointment. He was aware he wasn't the sort of wolf anyone wanted for their child, but seeing that on his mate's father's face kind of hurt.

"I didn't choose to be like this," he said.

Alpha Morgan stopped looking around to meet his gaze.

"Why my little girl? Why did you have to mark her?"

There was a lot of pain there.

"I had no choice. She was destined for me. She's my true mate. The other half of me."

Alpha Morgan's gaze widened.

"There haven't been any true mates reported in generations," he said, coming forward to stand in front of him. "There's talk that all the separation and the last wars had something to do with that."

"I don't know how. But my father had already arranged a mating, which I had to politely turn down yesterday, so that made him angry. I'll keep Ava safe from him."

Alpha Morgan had a thoughtful frown.

"Could that be the reason the Council wants you? The demon wolf and his human mate?"

"But she's not human, and I think they know that," he said. "Why don't you take a seat, and we'll talk about what Mr Patrick said."

Alpha Morgan chuckled.

"I think I'll wait for Ava to wake up. You clearly don't know who you've mated yet if you don't know that you can't discuss her and make decisions about her without her input. Good luck with that, kid."

He frowned as he followed Ava's dad back up the steps.

"You know the situation is urgent, and Ava isn't in the right headspace for this right now."

"She'll be fine when she wakes up."

"Alpha Morg—"

He was interrupted when Derek met them at the top.

"Your father is coming."

Chapter 66

Zekesensedhisfatherand a few surprising allies approaching the house. And if he wasn’t mistaken, others were also coming from the woods.

His father knew Shadow could rip them all apart if he wanted to. So what had given him the balls to come after him now?

“Who was he talking to about Ava?” he asked Myles.

“He went over to the witch residences,” Myles said.

So maybe Alpha Ezra had something he could use against him. He turned to Alpha Morgan, who didn’t look the least bit panicked that his child was going to be put in the middle of all of this bullshit. Alpha Ezra knew he was weaker than Shadow, but he was still an Alpha and had an ego the size of the continent. Things could get ugly.
