Ava's Perspective
Consumed by his emotions, Hunter pursued me, leading to a heated confrontation. In the heat of the moment, he struck me forcefully, catching me off guard.
The impact of Hunter's hand lingered in the air as I struggled to regain my composure. Despite his Alpha status granting him absolute authority and the ability to demand unwavering loyalty, he stood before me, defeated, even as his dominant aura persisted.
"Alright, Ava. If leaving is what you desire, then go," he said through gritted teeth. He had accepted that he couldn't compel me to stay—at least, not in this manner.
