Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 116

Zeke crashed through the front door and looked around. All the curtains were drawn, so it was dark inside. There were only two people in this house, all alone like a couple of lovers.

His voice was low, on the verge of shifting. It didn’t matter now what he did to Jared. Once he and Ava left the academy, he would likely never be allowed to retum. He would never graduate to be officially recognised as the Alpha.

“Not safe from who?”

He watched the stubborn tilt of her chin and the sudden anger in her eyes as she remained in front of Jared’s bedroom door. How the hell had things gone so wrong since this morning?

“What lies has that bastard been feeding you!” he growled.
