Ava’s POV

“It is time Miss Lowell.”

A tiny feminine voice called from the hallway leading to the room I was in. I jumped up instantly and lost my balance.

“Ouch!”

My butt landed hard on the thick concrete floor.

Time for what? Probably breakfast! Let’s play along Ava, I am fucking famished.

“Avri!” Another voice screamed.

“I will be with you shortly.” I yelled.

I rushed over to the mirror again, disbelief lacing my expression. I checked out my appearance, I was dressed in a cloth that looked like a fucking potato sack and did nothing to flatter my curves. I raised up the dress and marched out of the door. Two females stood there, one looked well polished and the other, not so much.

“Miss Lowell, your sister will walk you down the hall.” One of the ladies said.

I took a look at my supposed sister but she looked away. I nodded my head affirmatively and followed them. The polished lady wore a scowl on her face but she remained silent.

Not that I cared! Isn’t she supposed to be my sister?

We got to the end of the hallway and the other lady dragged open a huge door, I leaned my head inside slowly and my eyes widened, there should be about a hundred people in there.

“Are we having a breakfast party?” I questioned suspiciously.

It was met with silence.

“Good luck Miss Lowell.” The woman said and turned to leave.

I scoffed, why would I need luck to dine?

“Avri, this is our family’s pride, don’t ruin it with your…..”

“What?” I questioned sternly.

“Never mind, let’s go.” She responded curtly.

We walked in, many eyes shifted in our direction. I remembered I was terribly dressed. I felt self aware but I managed to keep it together.

“Walk!” My supposed sister ordered harshly.

“You could as well lift me up like a fucking rag doll.” I responded sharply.”

She was taken aback but remained silent. We gently walked towards a podium. Up front my eyes caught that of a fine specimen of a man. His dark curly hair and playboy diamond shaped face got me mesmerized. As I took each step towards him, my heart fluffed, I wished I could fall and he would pick me up,

Damn Ava! Unfortunately , you aren’t Cinderella right now!

Fuck! I wasn’t even wearing golden shoes nor did I have a fairy godmother.

My supposed sister stopped, “This is as far as I can go, be the bride that you are.”

“Bride? What the hell?”

“Miss Lowell, we are waiting.” A man in a brown suit said calmly.

I lifted up my dress again and rushed towards the podium where that guy sat. He gave me a short look and my heart pounded again but he looked away.

“Alpha killian, it is time.” The brown suit man said to the man.

Alpha killian!

I am certain I knew that name, I looked round the room, the lights were flashing in my face, expectant eyes were on us. My suspicion was turning out to be real, I knew this scenery, Just as it was written, the mahogany door, the crest,

Now it all made sense that….

“I, Alpha Killian of the Silverfang pack, reject Avri Lowell of the Golden Dawn pack.”

Gasps rose in the air. Murmurs followed immediately from the audience.

I scoffed loudly!

This was the part where Avri was supposed to tear up and sob uncontrollably.

My ear picked the words from the crowd:

I knew he was going to reject her!

The moon goddess probably made some kind of mistake with this knot of fate!

Amanda would have been a better fit!

Damn! I remember each spiteful word thrown at Avri right there. Leaving it right now, she must have felt like dying on the spot.

I am definitely changing this part.

I took two steps closer to Alpha Killian who sat proud of his cruelty. I stared into his amber eyes and declared loudly.

“I, Avri Lowell of G…golden Dwarf pack rejects the heck out of you, Alpha Killian of Silverfang pack.” I pointed my finger to his eyes.

Another multitude of gasps rose in the air. I stared challengingly Alpha Killian.

The man in a brown suit rushed up to me and whispered in my ear.

“That is not acceptable Miss Lowell.”

“But is it acceptable that he brutally rejected me?” I shot back.

“He could because he is…”

“The fucking Prince Charming?” I sneered at the man.

I turned around to face Killian.

“Hey you! We are definitely having another face off.” I signed with my fingers to show my challenge.

Killian just stared at me in disbelief. I wasn’t going to say I didn’t like what I saw. He was as perfectly looking as he was in the story.

I knew how this story was supposed to go because I read it. You might be wondering how we got here, now let me help you clear the confusion.

I am Ava Lowell, and here I am, in my worst nightmare, dragged off to the webtoon world by the universe, into the very boring story I hated, and in the body of the weakest female character I have ever known.

I felt a hand dragged me off the stage, so I stopped her. Amanda, Avri’s sister, spoke worriedly.

“You ruined everything Avri! This was supposed to be our family’s pride!”

“Really sister! Aren’t you still sulking that Killian wasn’t your mate?” I said sternly.

Amanda’s countenance dwindled immediately, that made me happy seeing that the bitch gets a taste of her own venom.

I picked up my dress and made it for the food basket at the end of the hall. I picked up some cut white meat and munched hungrily on it. It tasted delicious afterall it was supposed to be my wedding day.

Being rejected by a mate was supposed to be the worse that could happen to a werewolf but not me. I was going to make Alpha Killian regret his decision.

I had just finished munching on the chicken when someone walked up to me. I stood up gauging her face. This part was strange, I couldn't think of it in the novel. Had my actions started to reframe the book?

“Avie.” She called out coldly.

Who is she?

I stood up and made towards her. I was going to ask of her identity but before i could,

“Gbam!”

She landed a smack across my face.

“Ouch! What was that for?” I yelled angrily.

“You are definitely going to die by my hand.” She threatened.

No! This wasn’t a part of the original script. Who the hell was this bitch?

The author is finally flipping the script in my eyes.

Was I truly going to die?

Author's note: Chapter 2 was basically Ava getting rejected, roasting everyone, stealing chicken, and then getting slapped like WiFi that stopped working 😭💀🍗. And honestly? She ate that; literally AND figuratively.”

Ava’s POV

“You are grounded for the rest of the month!” The scary woman shouted.

She opened Avri’s room door for me to walk in.

“Just grounded? I thought the plan was to kill me.”

She rolled her eyes and scoffed, “Kill you! what are you talking about?” She said with a confused expression.

“Never mind.” I said and cleared my throat.

I still have no idea where she fits in the story but I have been grounded in the past and the only one capable of doing that is my uncle that raised me. She must be Avri’s mother but damn! She is so gorgeous.

“Can i have more food brought up here, I mean, getting rejected had given me a ravaging appetite…mum.” I said with pleading eyes.

“Mum?” The woman gave me a disgusting look, “Don’t you see yourself? What stunning man in his right senses would choose a pig as his Luna?”

“And what is with the*mum* Avri, you don’t call me mum! What changed today?”

I have been caught! How do I escape this?

“Well, I guess I got emotional today.” I said and pulled down my expression. I tried to fake some tears unfortunately my tear gland was malfunctioning. The tears wouldn’t even form at all.

“Whatever!” She said and walked away after slamming the door on my face.

Now I was right back in the exact room where I had initially woken up.

I think I am done with my mission here, ofcourse, I had rejected Alpha Killian back. Now let’s return home.

I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes,

Nothing happened!

Maybe I didn’t lay the right way, I turned around to my left..

A loud bang on the door brought me out of my foolishness. I reluctantly got off the bed sweating profusely. The stupid dress was too heavy and ugly. I made for the door and opened it.

Damn!

What a fucking dream come true. A whole fucking food tray. Avri sure was lucky, at least, she was born wealthy enough.

“The Luna ordered that I bring you food.” The maid from earlier said, “Accept my sympathy about your rejection, Alpha Killian is hard to impress but….”

I didn’t wait to hear her sermon, I was already tearing off the chicken flesh. Even in my worst imagination, I dare not be a vegetarian.

“If you need someone to talk to Avri, know that I am always available.”

Oh! Now it occurred to me. Avri would have been wallowing in self pity right now and getting consoled by some maid whose name I didn’t remember from the webtoon but as for me, I would rather continue devouring my chicken lap.

“Thank you, you can go.” I responded calmly. The maid kept staring at me before she finally walked away and slammed my bedroom door.

Ofcourse I didn’t remember her name from the webtoon but I knew she was Amanda’s spy, silly little snitch!

The first day was fun, so was the next and the next but after a week, it turned to premium tears for me.

When I was grounded in the past, my uncle was lenient enough to release me on the third day but here, werewolves were fucking mean parents!

I miss my life, I missed hockey and I desperately wished to return to my life. I do not mind my neighbors fucking and yelling every damn night, I do not care if i spend the next four years celebrating my heartbreak every damn night.

I give up! Totally.

I started searching through the room for anything, anything that could keep me busy. I hadn’t seen any of Avri’s family since Killian’s rejection, just the maids, i have no faintiest idea of how her father’s pack is dealing with this situation.

With more vigorous effort, I found out something, Avri had a fucking laptop! It hadn’t occurred to me in anyway, I mean, I knew this webtoon was of the modern setting but a laptop! A total game changer.

I might finally figure out my way home.

I switched the laptop on, thankfully, it was fully functional. I switched on the Internet and it connected to the family Wi-Fi, how amazing. I searched for the webtoon site.

I kept tapping my feet impatiently on the floor as it took forever to load, when it finally clicked, I drew my face closer to the screen to read its contents,

The search page doesn’t exist.

Wonderful!

I searched other webtoon sites including my shopping sites, all of them didn’t exist.

Back to square one.

I was pissed! Really pissed and I had to direct the anger to someone else. I hated Avri’s family for locking me up here, I hated Avri for being such a clumsy pushover but my greatest hate belongs to Alpha Killian, if he hadn’t rejected Avri harshly, I wouldn’t have made that damn bet and end up here in the first place.

In my story, Alpha Killian was the total villain.

After sulking for many more days, I started scrolling through the laptop, in order to understand this life better. There were so many interesting informations but my focus had been on pack politics and of course hockey.

I found out something interesting, Alpha Killian was a hockey captain of the Frozen Blades. An all male hockey championship team.Finally, I found out something we have in common.

I searched the whole internet for any information about Frozen Blades, there were enough articles about them, especially about their sexy stunning captain, i rolled my eyes at that. I am sure he was popular with the girls, that jerk!

I was about switching off the internet when a notification popped up on the screen, a newsletter I had subscribed to,

A new article was released:

“Frozen Blades set to recruit a new team member to replace one of their that left them for a rival pack.”

I laughed hysterically staring at Alpha Killian’s picture on the screen, his kissable lip curled in a smug way,

What a freaking coincidence,

Luck was definitely on my playlist, now my boredom can be quenched. I got up on my feet and dusted my dress

Let’s go be a boy.

Author's note: Ava got grounded, fat-shamed, trauma-dumped, ignored, and STILL managed to steal chicken and Wi-Fi in the same chapter 😭🍗💻. And now she’s about to become a whole boy just to play hockey. I’m not writing a novel anymore; I’m babysitting a certified menace

Ava’s POV

“Ten ways to be a boy.”

That was my last search displayed on the screen of the laptop. I yawned lazily and managed to get up on my feet. I had barely slept last night since I found out about the Frozen Blades recruitment and applied.

I refreshed my application for it but no update yet. The page kept taking me back to the articles about the team and Alpha Killian’s annoying face kept gracing my screen.

“I have had enough of these annoying articles.” I soliloquized.

I had spent a greater part of my night reading through these articles and I think I have enough information that I needed. I had rummaged through Avie’s wardrobe but she had nothing masculine,

Such a softie.

Now was action time, I had spent the previous night planning,

Dear universe or moon goddess! Don’t you dare bail out on me right now.

A knock sounded on my door as expected, I rushed up towards the door, I felt strange, I got up to see blood on my clothes and the bed.

Dammit! I almost forgot this part, my usual wrong timing of menstruation. Avie was unlucky like me, so sad.

I took slow steps towards the door, I opened it slowly, the food tray graced my vision, I raised my hand and yanked it from the maid. I had planned to go on a diet last night but seeing this food, I retracted my decision.

“Miss Avie, would you…..” the maid started but I slammed the door on her face.

Silly little snitch, she even attempted to search Avie’s laptop while I took a nap two nights earlier, I hope Amanda pays her enough to be worth her troubles.

I dropped the food tray on my bedside table and rushed to the bathroom to wash up and got dressed. I munched on some food afterwards.

A few hours later, another knock sounded at the door as I expected. This time, I opened the door wide enough, and my smile was inviting. I noticed the surprised expression on the maid’s face.

“You are quite early.” I said smiling.

“No Miss Avie, I usually come for the plates around this time.” She said calmly.

“Oh!” I held my hand out and touched her hair,

“So silky, you have really beautiful hair.”

“Thank you Miss Avie.” She responded blushing softly.

I scoffed inwardly, what an easy girl!

“I haven’t seen m…mum, dad and Amanda or any other people since I got…I mean since my cancelled wedding.” I pouted my lip and acted sad, “How I wish someone could at least check up on me.”

“No one checks on you from onset Miss Avie,” My eyes lightened up as she continued, “I am sorry about your wedding but you live in a different wing of the house from the rest of the family and coming over might be quite difficult for them so….”

I was perplexed! Avie lives aside from the rest of the family? Wow! This is absurd!

“So, they send you over.” I interrupted and she nodded affirmatively.

This sounds like a pathetic story, should I be sad?

Of course I can’t be. In fact, this is the best news ever. I could be gone before they notice in a week, if only I could woo this gullible girl to keep quiet about it.

“You know what, I have a gift for you.” I said, smiling softly.

Her eyes lightened up and I made my way towards Avie’s closet. Tons of new things were stacked in the upper drawer there, probably she dumped them because she felt using them was a wasted effort.

Perfumes, hair care, makeup products, that girl was definitely sleeping on luxury.

I brought out one of the biggest perfume bottles and a set of cute combs, and I handed them over to her.

“You are better suited for these.” I said .

“Oh! Miss Avie, I can’t…I mean, I would love to but I am not allowed to….”

She dragged the gifts towards me but I dragged it back to her,

“You would need these to attract that crush of yours, I saw how you looked at him on that day, remember.” I prayed desperately that my gamble was right.

Her hand stiffened, “You knew Miss Avie?” She whispered.

"Of course I do.” I responded proudly.

Her eyes fell!!

Yippee, it worked. Emotional blackmail.

“Please Miss Avie, don’t tell anyone. I like George so much, I don’t want him….”

“Relax girl, it’s our little secret,” she nodded her head affirmatively, I can see the gratitude in her eyes, “But we will have a little secret of my own, that would make us even.”

“Okay Miss Avie, what do you want?”

“I need to see someone I like too, just pretend that I am still here.”

“Please, Miss Avie, I would be punished for it if….”

“I will be back before you know it.”

She collected the gift from me. I smiled warmly, that’s it,

The guard dog was bought successfully!

“I will bring lunch,” She smiled and turned to leave, “Miss Avie, no one would be home tonight, Crest Peak pack is launching a new innovation.”

“Have a good night.”

“Good night Miss Avie.”

Again, I slammed the door shut behind her. I rushed over to my laptop to check the new email I created, I refreshed it, and the mail sat at the top waiting to be opened.

Application successful!

Yay, I have been shortlisted for the trial match in Frost Blades in two days. All that was left was getting myself a hockey kit after my escape.

I waited till nighttime, and opened my bedroom door slowly, I expected to run into some guards. Unfortunately, I wasn’t important enough to be assigned guards. As I walked down the hallway, the maid turned out to be right, Avie’s room was located in the pack conference center.

I picked the lock with a hairpin, a sneaky skill my uncle taught me. At the second trial, I turned the doorknob and opened it, fresh air graced my nostrils and the outside world called to me.

No one would be around tonight Miss Avri: her voice echoed through my mind.

Freedom smells so good but something else was missing, I needed money to buy my needs, the internet says they spend dollars here, but Avri had none. Probably she had no need for money. That girl lives the most pathetic life, damn that author.

I looked up towards the main building ahead, it was a damn mansion. Amanda must have lived like a castle princess here. There are definitely going to be guards everywhere. That shouldn’t be hard, I could play the hide and seek game well enough.

Ava, let’s go be a little thief.

Author's note: Ava bloodied her clothes, traumatized a maid, unlocked a door with a hairpin like a Disney criminal, and said ‘let me go be a thief’ 🥲🤣. Moon Goddess, collect your daughter.
