Avery's POV
“What is going on Avery?” Ashley asked as she ran after me. “Talk to me,” she said still trying to match up to my pace. I ran to the private room Ashley had paid for me to stay here in the clinic and rushed to the bed. “What just happened?” Do you know that man? She asked in confusion as she sat beside me. I couldn't help it anymore I burst into tears. “I want an abortion,” I whispered to Ashley as I continued to cry. “Why? What is going on?” Ashley asked but I couldn't give her an answer. She held me as I continued to cry, this was truly my breaking point. “That man was my mate and the father of my baby,” I said finally getting myself together. “What!” She screamed in shock a million questions running through her mind. “Then why did he…?” She didn't complete her sentence but I knew what she was asking. “He acted like he didn't know me like I was some stranger,” I whispered as I struggled to maintain my composure. “He took my virginity and marked me,” I cried as my efforts to keep calm were failing. “I don't understand why he will act this way, I understand if he doesn't want me anymore but he didn't have to act like I don't exist,” I explained to Ashley hoping she would get what I was saying. “Calm down Avery, please you haven't fully recovered,” Ashley cautioned as she tried to comfort me. “I want to…” I didn't finish my sentence before I felt myself fall into the darkness. “Avery…Avery…Avery!!!” I heard Ashley call but she seemed so far away, then finally, the darkness enveloped me. “Doctor, what is going on?” Ashley asked with a worried tone. “She just needs rest, a lot of rest,” the doctor said as I slowly opened my eyes. “I want an abortion,” I whispered as tears rolled down my face. “You will have to recover first,” Ashley said as she rushed to hold my hand. My eyes were opened but I could feel the darkness call me yet again, I was slipping away and I wished I would sleep and never wake up. “Did anything sudden or dramatic happen yesterday?” The doctor asked as I tried to stabilize myself. “Yes doctor,” Ashley said but didn't give any other details and for that I was grateful. “She is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, there is not much we can do,” he said putting a stethoscope on my chest. “Are there any medications that can help with this?” Ashley asked, she sounded so worried and this made me feel very guilty. I had brought my trend of bad luck and disaster to her life. “There are but they can not be administered in her present condition.” He replied as he opened my eyelids to check them, I was awake but too tired to open my eyes. “What condition Sir,” she asked sounding perplexed. “Her pregnancy,” he replied before excusing himself to leave. “Seems like this abortion could be a good solution,” she said out loud still assuming I was still asleep and I couldn't agree more. I had already made up my mind about the abortion, there was no use in bearing a child whose father despises me. “I'm sorry Ashley,” I said after some time, she had left everything including her children to spend days with me at this clinic and I knew it wasn't an easy thing to do. “You are awake,” Ashley gasped as she rushed to check my temperature. “I'm fine Ashley, I'm ready to go home even, I just want to know when I can be discharged,” I said and just on cue, the doctor walked in. “Good Evening doctor, when can I leave?” I asked without hesitation. “Right now,” he said with a smile and proceeded to check my vitals. On his way out I stopped him to inquire about the procedures for an abortion and he directly me the lady in charge of it, saying I needed to run some tests first. “Thank you, doctor,” I said with a smile, I was calmer than before. “What changed?” Ashley asked after the doctor had left. “Nothing, I understand the situation and know what to do, that's all,” I replied with a smile, it was a lie, I was still shaking on the inside but my mind was already made up. “I am here supporting you, no matter what,” she said as we both went to inquire about the abortion. We were able to set a day and time, it was just a few days away so I could wait and with that out of the way I was discharged and we went home. “Aunty Avery!!!” Vivi screamed and ran to hug me. “I missed you, darling,” I said swatting down to peck her on the cheek. “How are you feeling now Aunty Avery?” Daniel asked as soon as he got close enough. “I am fine now Daniel, thank you,” I replied with a smile. The next few days passed in a blur, I spent most of my time with the children, we told stories and played games, I made food and cleaned with Ashley, my mind never went to my pregnancy, I didn't think about it for once, not even what had happened in the clinic. “Are you ready?” Ashley asked as we entered the clinic. It was the day of the abortion and I couldn't wait to get this over and done with. “Good Morning Ma’am,” a nurse said as she directed me towards the operation room. I didn't say any words I just took deep breaths comforted by the presence of Ashley who she was allowed into the operating room thankfully. “Are you ready? You can still change your mind now,” the doctor said before the procedure began. "I am ready doctor," I said already feeling a pang of guilt and a sense of loss but I didn't let that stop me. “We will do a final scan first,” the doctor informed me, I nodded in approval and they began the scan. Soon their faces had changed and they began to whisper among themselves. “What is going on?” I asked when the whispers intensified, I was become terrified by their reaction to the scan. “I am sorry Ma’am but for your safety, we cannot continue with this procedure,” the doctor said as he took off his gloves and nose mask before exiting the operating room.Avery's POV“Please come with me Ma’am,” a nurse said as I left the operating room and got fully dressed.Ashley came in halfway to the doctor's office and I clung to her for support as we both wondered what went wrong.“You can't go in with her Ma’am,” the nurse said to Ashley as we got to the door of the doctor’s office.“Please let her go with me,” I pleaded, I didn't know what other complications had stopped the abortion but I needed all the support I could get when I was hearing the news.“No problem,” the nurse nodded and let us in.“Good day Ma’am, please take a seat,” the doctor said as he motioned to the chair for us to sit.“Good day doctor, I would like to understand what went wrong today,” I said without hesitation.He was the same doctor from the operating room so I was sure he knew what was wrong but what I didn't understand was the sorry look on his face.“The reason I stopped the procedure is because you need to be informed of something our tests seemed to have missed
Amos’ POV“To my office,” I ordered immediately we drove into the pack mansion.“Daddyyyyy you need rest!” Angie whined but Jack drove straight to my office without asking any questions.“You know better Angie,” Quinn said looking at me from the corner of his eye.“Reports please,” I demanded and Jack proceeded to give me detailed information about the pack and the other businesses he was overseeing.From the looks of things so far everything was going smoothly but I still couldn't shake the intense feeling of loss, I still felt like I was forgetting something very important.“Your friend, Avery was it?” I asked Angie as we came down from the car.“Yes, Avery,” Angie said, giving me a suspicious look.“Tell me about her,” I asked, feeling a need to know more about the lady I seemed to have a deep longing for.“I don't know too much, I know she is a Gamma and an orphan. She works to support herself, money is kind of tight.” She said carelessly, I could tell she wasn't saying everything
Amos’ POV“She seems to be very important,” Jack said as we entered the meeting hall.“Cancel all other meetings for the day, we are getting answers today,” I whispered to Jack, he nodded and began to type away on his phone, to do what I asked I presumed.“Greetings Alpha,” My pack Elders said rising before taking back their sits.Our meeting hall was a round table with twenty-four different seats for the omegas, Jack being one of them.“Before anything else we must inquire, are you fully recovered Alpha?” Jane asked, she was a drop-dead beautiful Omega that everyone wanted to have but she set her eyes on me.I on the other hand didn't give her any much thought, as beautiful and powerful as she was, I knew we would never work out.“Mostly recovered,” I said truthfully, the people in this room were my most trusted advisors, I could be totally honest with them.“Then why the pack run in three days,” Edward asked, he was the quiet and mysterious one of this bunch, he rarely spoke about m
Avery’s POV“What the hell is this?” Aunty Vivian screamed at me in anger, I was so scared to hand this over to her because I knew she would react this way. “I…I…It is my pay for the day Aunty,” I replied in fear, this was not good at all.“WHAT!!!” Aunty Vivian screamed charging towards me, I should have run away, when I had the chance this morning now she was going to kill me.“How dare you give me something like this?” She continued to scream as she cornered me to a wall.“I…I… I am sorry Aunty, it’s just that….” Before I could finish speaking I felt a slap across my face, I wanted to cry but I remembered that I prepared for this on my way here.“How much is this?” she asked looking at me like she would skin me alive.My aunty couldn’t even count properly, she didn’t know how much I gave her but she was angry because three dollar notes in her hand meant little money.“It is three hundred dollars,” I replied brazing myself for what was coming next.“What can three hundred dollars d
Avery’s POV“A private tutor, could I really be a private tutor?” I wondered as I continued my walk.I thought of what it would entail, looking at the piece of paper again, these were simple subjects, and I could teach them easily. I looked at the paper again to confirm how many hours it needed, five hours was such a long time, and it would mean I would have to quit my other jobs.“I can't do that, Aunty Vivian needs all that money,” I said aloud, thinking of possibly taking this as a second job.Aunty Vivian had me on lock and key, she won't tolerate any form of lateness from me.“How much are they willing to pay,” I thought looking at the piece of paper again, how could I possibly forget that in my present condition?“What!” I screamed on the road drawing the attention of passersby.They wanted to pay me two thousand dollars for each day! Two of my jobs put together could not give me that in one week and they were willing to pay me that for a day? I quickly checked the location as
Avery's POV“Answer me, Angie,” he roared as he walked in front of me.“How many times have I warned you to keep humans out of this house?” He repeated his question wanting an actual answer from her.This man was eight feet tall with dark blue eyes, he was definitely intimidating but I wasn't even scared of him at all.“Angie!” he roared getting more annoyed at the fact that she was ignoring him.“I know, I know Dad,” she pouted as she went to hold him on the waist.I looked at them and realized she was only as tall as his waist, but wait, she said Dad? This man? Her Father? He looked too young.“Maybe she has a daddy kink,” I thought, that was definitely the case, he looked like that kind of man anyway.“But I need a tutor and she is the only one that meets the requirements and she loves lilies too,” Angie said in my defense, trying to convince this man.He growled but didn't say a word, she had won this round.“Dad meet Avery, Avery meet my father, Mr. Amos Stewart,” she said with a
Avery’s POVIt had been a very good week for me, working as Angie's private tutor was easier than I initially expected, and Angie had been so nice to me.“Maybe it isn't yet time to show her true colors,” I thought, if Aunty Vivian had taught me anything it was that I couldn't trust anybody.When my parents passed and she came to my father's house as a guardian, she was so nice, almost perfect, she fed me, clothed me and treated me like a princess for more than one year, I was so happy and allowed her into my parent's room giving her access to all my parent's files and deeds, after she seized everything my parents left for me, she turned into this monster that I had to face every day.“At least for now,” I said out loud on my way to her house.She had continued to give me big tips every single day and I had been able to save a lot of money while also giving my aunty a good amount of money. I made sure to always change it into smaller bills so that it looked like a lot of money.“I don
Avery’s POV“What are we going to do?” Angie cried ruining her makeup, she seemed to have exhausted her options.“What about the backups,” her father asked, surely a family like this will have several vendors for things like this.“Everyone is in a fix, nobody can help me right now,” she continued to cry, throwing her hands in the air.Her father didn't say anything, probably thinking of what to do.“What do we do? Everybody is here, it will be so embarrassing, I don't even have a damned cake,” She cried, throwing a fit and stomping her feet like a child.“Stop that, I can't think with all this noise,” her father said, shutting her down.I stood there watching the entire exchange, with their solution in my hand but I didn't want to rush into it, if there was any other solution, I would have preferred they take that, but the more I waited, nothing came, they called everyone they could but no one was responsive. Angie was losing her mind and her father was just watching her in silence.
