Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 91

Zeke led Ava into the Assembly Hall. He didn’t make an entrance like Jared had done on the first day of school, but the students who had already arved med around to watch them walk in anyway.

Ava kept her eyes down and only looked up to look around for a seat. When she started to walk to a group of Omegas, he pulled her back and led her to his section. She didn’t protest, but once they sat down, she looked at him as if to ask what he was doing. Maybe Ava finally realised that Jared had purposely sat her in the Alpha section on her first day.

But she wasn’t scared as she had been that first day. All he could sense from her was anxiousness

Jared walked in last with a few of his pack mates and didn’t even meet his gaze as he found a seat behind him. He’d yet to speak to that asshole, but he had expected that by now, there would be whispers around the campus of his activities in the training room. There had been nothing.

An Alpha being with a human was unheard of. It was one thing for everyone to whisper whatever they wanted when he put Ava under his pack’s protection. It was another to have somebody confirm those rumours. Once his father and his enemies heard about this, lie would be forced into action earlier than he was prepared for, Jared was quiet now, but he was sure that asshole would find a way to exploit the situation sooner or later Once he comered Jared, he would know the terms required for his silence.

Derek had been right to worry about putting a target on Ava’s back. Even now, he could see the blatant heated looks being thrown at her.

The room quieted as the dean walked in with some faculty heads and stepped onto the stage.

“Good morning,” the dean started. “I know you’re all eager to mart, so we’ll keep this brief. Over the next few days, please remember that these are only the mock evaluations. I expect you all to showcase your skills but sull show good sportsmanship. Remember the school values, and show mercy when it is required”

He didn’t like how the dean looked at Avs when he said that. The dean had never encouraged mercy before, so doing that now meant he deliberately pointed Ava out as the weakest among them.

“The rules were posted on the notice boards and your tablets, and I hope you have all memorised them. For the new students, the instructors for each discipline will briefly explain what is required of you Some of you have already shown significant progress by being moved out of the beginner classes and may do well today. But remember that this is only the beginning. At the Council evaluations, I expect much more out of you”

He tuned out the instructors as they explained the structure of the day to concentrate on Ava’s reactions. Her heartbeat remained steady. Maybe she was prepared. He had already explained all of this to her as he had trained her so she wasn’t caught out. Today and the last day would be the hardest for her. Hand to hand with no weapons first and no supernatural abilities. Everyone here was naturally stronger than her, so that would be a challenge for her. And then, on the last day, they were allowed to go all out–weapons, as well as lighting in their other forms if they wanted to.

His anxiousness increased again. He should have just marked her. Or he could have made Prince Gideon give her his blood. If she made it out okay today, he would speak to her about this. What good would it do to wait for her to accept him if she died in the next few days?
