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 before we proceed,” he said, looking calm and collected. I breathed a sigh of relief, so... the procedure could continue but they just had to tell me something. “Then why did he say something about my safety and all?” I wondered in confusion but nothing prepared me for the words I heard next. “There is a rupture in your womb Ma’am and this might be the last child you conceive,” he said looking at me apologetically. “What do you mean?” I asked to the doctor as Ashley squeezed my hand trying to offer some kind of support. “I mean if you abort this child now, you may never get pregnant ever again,” the doctor said, trying to keep a straight face but obviously feeling pity for me. “This might be sudden and very hard to hear but given this circumstance, it is important that you are informed of this development before we continue with the procedure,” the doctor said trying to look and sound professional but he was heartbroken for me and I could see it. “Avery…” Ashley whispered but I raised my hands to stop her from speaking any further,” I didn't need her or any other person's pity, It would totally shatter me. “Did you have any serious injuries around your abdomen recently?” The doctor asked, trying to get to the root of the matter. “I was attacked by a rogue wolf and injured badly, I was found unconscious and half dead, by the time I regained consciousness my wounds had already healed so I wouldn't know,” I replied quickly, afraid my voice would break if I spoke any slower. “I see,” the doctor said, adjusting his glasses and looking at what I presumed were my test results. “Is there a cure for this?” Avery asked, she held my hands more tightly and looked hopefully at the doctor. In so many ways I was grateful for that question, firstly because it gave me some kind of hope and secondly because it was a question I was too afraid to ask myself, fearing that the answer would be negative. “Well there are some advanced medications that could be administered but that would mean she cannot abort this child,” the doctor said, looking at me as if waiting for a decision. “Would you be willing to attempt it?” The doctor asked, implying that a positive result may not be achieved. “Yes,” Ashley and I said in unison, I didn't know why I cared since I was already rejected but I still had some hope I guess. “Please sign here to cancel your request for an abortion procedure,” the doctor said handing me a document that needed my signature. I signed and we fixed a date for another consultation concerning my treatment, with that being done we left the clinic. “Are you okay?” Ashley asked as I let out a deep breath. “I don't know,” I said honestly, the days of my crying uncontrollably at bad situations were over. Bad things will always happen and I was slowly learning how to face them with my head held high. “What do I do?” I asked Ashley, my life was far from organized, and I couldn't bring a baby into this disaster. “Let's get home first,” she said as we walked home in silence, the clinic wasn't very far from our house. “Please drink some water,” Ashley said as she poured two glasses of water and handed one to me while she gulped down the other. “Now tell me how you feel,” she said sitting across me on the dining table. “I don't feel utterly useless anymore but I just don't know how to handle this situation, especially with the baby coming and my lack of stability,” I explained, hoping those few words would translate the series of thoughts I was having. “Hmmm...I understand,” Ashley said and was quiet for some time. “Everything that happened was in the past you will first have to accept that, only then can you move towards the future,” she said looking more serious than I had ever since before. “All I care about right now is my health and the survival of my baby,” I replied truthfully, hoping she had a solution for me. “Raise this child and make him or her successful,” Ashley suddenly said with a smile as if she had an idea. “It's going to be a hard road but I will give you all the help you need, I could get you a job, you and the baby will live with us and we can raise strong children as sisters, what do you say?” Ashley asked, she was offering me help and lifelong support, how could I possibly refuse? “How can I ever repay you?” I said as tears streamed down my face. “By being my sister,” she responded and we hugged, it was all tears, hugs, and plans for the next few hours. I wasn't sure of the future but I was going to try to make it better than my past.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.
Avery's POV “What have I done?” Amos said out loud running his hand through his hair. “We mated,” I explained, confused myself at why and how this was possible. “But you have a wife, right?” I asked, trying to clarify the situation. He had children so he surely had a wife, so why did this happen? “She is dead, you humans killed her,” he said, accusing me of something I had no idea about. “I am not human, I am half werewolf,” I corrected him but I finally understood his hatred for humans. They had killed his wife, taken away his lover and mate, the mother to his children. “Oh shut up, it's the same fucking thing,” he said rising his voice. “I can't do this, not after what you people did to me, you can't be my mate,” he said standing up and getting dressed. “What do you mean, we already…” before I could finish speaking he stopped me again. “Don't remind me of the abomination that just happened here, it never happened, we are nothing, this is nothing,” he said walking
