“Which house is it?” Ava responded automatically. Only as she got out of the car did she realise she should have taken her father to the dorms instead. What if Zeke brought his father and mate there? And worse, her father would know straight away that she had been spending a lot of time in Zeke’s bedroom. But it was too late now. Besides, it didn’t matter anymore. Zeke had a mate. The pain made her stop and double over. It felt worse than what she had felt in the forest—a lot worse. “Ava!” Alpha Roland said. “Is it a panic attack? What’s happening?” The panic in her father’s voice made her pull herself together and straighten her body. There was no explanation that she could give him that would make sense. The best thing to do was to get through the weekend and then leave with him.
