Chapter 104

• There was a dead silence the moment Ava walked into the arena. She couldn’t stop her cheeks from heating up as she kept her head down and walked quickly towards her section. It didn’t help matters that Zeke was right behind her with his Beta and Gamma. They had separated at the door the other times, but now they seemed to follow her to the bleachers.
• Were they making a statement of sorts? Did it not worry them that they looked like they were breaking the rules by giving an Omega preferential treatment? That their Alpha looked like he was cavorting with a human? She would get so much hate from the other Omegas for this.
• And, most importantly, someone would tell the Council about this. If they had their spies here, as Mr Patrick said, then she had failed miserably to stay off their radar. What exactly were they looking for? Evidence that they had killed Claire and her friends? Was the end game to take their lives like they had taken the other wolves’ lives? Mr Patrick had been too cryptic when they had talked. Maybe she had done the impossible when she beat Dexter, but everyone saw that had been dumb luck. There was nothing exceptional about her.
