Avery's POV“You?” I asked in surprise as I saw that woman Jane standing in front of me.“Hello Avery,” she said with a bright smile as she motioned for me to sit down.What was going on? Why was this lady here? What did they want from me?“You may leave,” she said to the warrior who stood by my side.“Yes Ma,” he said quickly and left, leaving me and Jane all alone in the room.What was this all about? He couldn't just leave me here, what if she killed me, hold on… why did he call her Ma?“What is all this?” I asked her in confusion as she seemed to just be watching me.“Why are you here and why am I locked up?” I asked again as she had refused to respond to my first question.“You are here because you joined the humans to attack our pack,” She said with a sly smile waiting for my reaction.“I didn't attack your pack or whatever, I rejected the offer,” I replied confidently, she knew I was telling the truth.That night when she made me that offer, I refused immediately saying I trust
Amos’ POV“The safety of the pack is most important,” I said to Jack and we discussed the next course of action.I still felt like something was off but all indications pointed to the human and also Avery.“I worry that the humans had some help from the witches,” Jack said after a long time of silence.“I suspect this too, humans and witches, the worst kind there are,” I commented, their thought leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.“For the witches, I can agree but humans, not all of them,” Jack corrected me, he had always been against my hatred for humans and I didn't know why.“Not after what Avery has done to me,” I spat unwilling to yield to him this time.“I hope he can hear all this,” I heard Avery think, I have been trying to hear her thoughts but she blocked me out, why did she finally open it up?“What have I done? So he didn't betray me after all,” she lamented, what was going on? She seemed to be having a conversation with someone and I could sense she was in danger.“Did we
Amos’ POV “My guess is that the room is laced with a spell,” Jack said to me as he put the flash drive in his pocket. “How do we break the spell?” I asked him, still deep in thought. “The problem is we don't know how the spell was cast,” he responded, seeming ready to give up. “Tell the guards to try to open it again, I will watch from here,” I said to Jack as I watched intently. Jack left to carry out my orders and I prayed it was what I was suspecting, during the war I had seen a similar spell and only the Alpha’s staff could break it, I just hoped this was one such. “You locked us in?” Avery asked Jane with a look of surprise as she attempted to open the door. “Yes and?” Jane replied, I never realized how foolish she was until now, she was acting like a little child. “You don't want me to get out, that's fine but how would you get out?” Avery asked her, looking in amusement. I always thought Jane was smart but I had never seen this version of her before. “My frien
Amos’ POV“Move or they are all going to die!” My mind was screaming but I still remained in that spot as if I was pinned to the chair.I knew I was a coward, I had always been a coward, if I wasn't a coward I wouldn't have returned back from the war without a single warrior.“Daddyyyyy!” Angie screamed as she tried to look for me. While I had been lost in thought, the dungeon had suddenly caught fire.Just then a witch appeared in the room I was in. She was the same old witch that abandoned Jane a few minutes ago.“Just where we want you,” she said, letting out a hysterical laugh.“Of all the people to make Alpha, he chose a weakling like you,” she said spitefully as she let out another disgusting laugh.“It was a good thing, I finished him off myself while you ran away like a fool, a real weakling,” she mocked as she spat on me.She was the witch who killed my Alpha, the one who drained his life source, the reason I had suffered all these years trying to fit into shoes too big for m
Amos' POV “I can't let this happen,” I whispered to myself, whatever the witch said, I would confirm later, I just needed to save my people first.“But why was this smoke and all not affecting me?” I asked myself, only then did I realize that my tattoo, the one that appeared on my hand immediately after I was given the staff of the Alpha had been glowing.“Let's do this,” I said to Ralph who seemed restless as I transformed.I felt stronger than I ever was did, and immediately breaking open the door, I searched for Angie and Quinn, I saw them two doors away from me, and I immediately picked them up and threw them on my back.“Daddy,” Angie whispered as she woke momentarily, they were only affected by the smoke so I was sure they would survive.“I am right here,” I replied as I took them out of the dungeon.Waiting outside were some warriors, everyone else had been sent to their houses to ensure their safety.“Take them to the Pack hospital,” I said to three of the warriors as I drop
Amos' POV “What?” I asked in confusion, turning around to face the warrior, maybe I heard wrong. “The attack is on the hospital Alpha,” he repeated again, confirming that I heard right the first time. “What happened?” I asked, this wasn't the right time for those questions but I had a feeling I needed to understand the situation to solve this matter. “The human soldiers came and tried to evacuate the prisoners who we were rushing to the hospital, when we refused to let them, they staged an attack,” he explained looking a bit puzzled by my question. “Okay, wait here for me, I need to rescue someone,” I said to him, I didn't care about Jane or the witch, I just needed to save my Luna. “Alpha we need to go how, the attack is brutal,” he said in alarm wondering why I was insistent on going back to the dungeon. “I need to…” I tried to explain but before I could finish, I saw something, a werewolf run out of the dungeon. “Wait!” I screamed as it sprinted away, in the directi
“Alpha!” Some warriors screamed as they rushed to my side. Turning around to see who it was, I was surprised to see that it was Jane. “You still chose her!” She screamed as tears rolled down her face. “After everything I have done for you!” She screamed again as the warriors tried to restrain her. “You betrayed our pack, and you caused the war, why would I choose you?” I asked her, holding the place she stabbed, it didn't go too deep but it was bleeding. “You caused the death of many warriors, do you not see the damage you have caused?” I asked, pointing to the fire that was devouring the dungeon. “But I love you,” She said, breaking down. I didn't know how she had survived but I could tell she wouldn't live for much longer. “Shut up! I told you to curb this obsession of yours, I never expected you to go this far,” Maya said, landing Jane a hot slap. “You tried to kill the Alpha, who gave the audacity?” She asked Jane, she was stained with blood because she had been part of th
Avery's POV“Ouch, my head hurts,” I whispered as I opened my eyes to the most beautiful aqua-blue eyes.“Good Morning Sweetness,” Amos whispered with a smile planting a kiss on my forehead.“Good Morning, where am I?” I asked in confusion, the last thing I remembered was a fire and a fight.“In the hospital Sweetness, how are you feeling?” He asked sitting down on a chair beside me.Only then did I see that the room was crowded with doctors, nurses, Avery, Quinn, and a host of other people, the room was so big but with the amount of people present, it looked so small.“Why is everyone here?” I asked trying to understand why everyone was just staring at me.“You were unconscious for three days, we were all worried,” he said kissing my hand and caressing it.“Who is we? I don't know half of these people,” I said honestly, I appreciated the care and concern but I didn't know these people, I was sure I had never seen them before.They all burst out in laughter and I kept wondering what w
Avery's POV “Oh my goodness!” I whispered in shock, using my hands to cover my mouth, who would have thought that my blood could open this diary? I would have never guessed it. The diary opened to reveal a beautiful handwriting, it almost looked like mine, just a little more calligraphic. I immediately forget the pain in my finger and just stared at the book in wonder. “Miss! You are hurt!” Martha screamed in panic, as she literally ran down to where I was, I quickly put the diary to the side, not wanting her to see it at all. “I know you want to be alone Miss, but please just let me disinfect your wound first,” she whispered with concern, as she took a first-aid box and hurried to treat my wound. I was utterly speechless, especially because of the way I had treated her before. She seemed not to care about that and it made me feel a little more guilty. I felt like one of those spoiled brats who treated the help in a very bad way. “I am sorry about how I treated you before, it's
Avery's POV “Your breakfast is ready, Miss,” one of the maids said softly, bowing as she spoke. I wanted to tell her that all of this was not so necessary but I knew she would not listen to me anyway so I let it go. “Thank you,” I responded dryly. I wasn't hungry, but I knew better than to refuse the food they offered. Lady Smith would be extremely worried if I missed breakfast, so I asked everyone to leave and sat by myself. “I am at the door if you need anything, miss,” Martha whispered anxiously, she seemed unsettled with leaving me by myself but I needed that alone time. Walking over to my table where the brown envelope was kept, I picked it up and opened the seal. I didn't bring out the files in it, instead, I walked over to the table where a very nutritious breakfast was waiting for me. Opening that file felt like a window into another world and opening it genuinely scared me. “This is really nice, " I muttered to myself happily, as I munched on the scrambled eggs that were
Amos’ POV “I watched her walk away, I watched her leave me,” I mumbled as I ran my hand through my hair. I could never forget that day, it was crystallized in my mind. I remembered standing just behind her and watching her walk towards the train, I wanted to stop her, to hold her and tell her I believed her but I held myself back, she entered the train and it left, that train left with a big part of me, I could feel my heart shatter into a million pieces but this was meant to be, it was the only way she could be free. “I just couldn't let her suffer,” I thought as I remembered everything I had put in place, I had not missed a single detail, not left anything undone when it came to her. I had my niece visit me briefly as she passed through our city the night before Avery left, I had begged her, promising her anything she wanted to be in that train and take care of Avery, I knew she would have been lonely and needed someone in the new city so I made sure she had Ella with her, made s
Avery's POV “I just couldn't help it…I couldn't stay away from you,” he whispered, it was the sound of Amos’ voice, I couldn't believe it but the way my body reacted to him confirmed any suspicions I had. “Amos?” I asked, it was a whisper and I was sure I was speaking to myself but I didn't get a response just the feel of his fur on my skin. “I miss you so much,” he whispered as he ran his hand through my hair. “This is a dream so why not enjoy it to the fullest,” I thought to myself, I had missed Amos for the longest time and even if I hated him for what he did to me it still didn't change the fact that he was my mate and we bonded on a very deep level, even if a ceremony had never been done. “I miss you too,” I whispered, letting myself go and hugging him back, opening my eyes, I saw him in his werewolf form. I just laid my head on his shoulder and inhaled his scent. It made my wolf pur…I wanted him in more ways than one. “It's been so long…please,” he begged, reaching for my
Avery's POV “As per our agreement, here is some of the evidence I found, study it and let me know when you are done, there is more where that came from,” Sir Smith said, handing me a big brown envelope and turning to walk away. “I know this might be very transactional to you but just know that I really recognize you as my daughter,” he said, turning slightly in my direction, as our eyes met, I could tell he was being completely honest. “I will bear that in mind, thank you very much,” I responded not knowing what else to say, he just nodded and walked away, I felt touched by their display of love especially since they just met me and knew absolutely nothing about me, although you could say they knew more about me than I knew about myself, giving the big envelope in front of me. I took a deep breath feeling suddenly nervous about the whole thing. I had thought I wanted to know the truth but now that the truth was standing in front of me, I was too scared to take a hold of it. I deci
Avery's POV “Where are you taking me?” I asked the driver as my entire consciousness was alerted, if need be I was going to tear this door open and run away. “I am taking you to the Smith's Mansion,” the man responded. It didn't look like it to me, everything was so suspicious. I tried to open the door to no avail, I had begun to panic, I checked my pocket for my phone, hoping that I would be able to reach Ella and find out the truth. Was the road to their house this strange or was I over thinking things? I needed to find out, but to my utter surprise, my phone was nowhere to be found, I had begun to panic for real and brought out my claws to break open the door and just then the driver spoke again. “We are here now Ma’am,” he said, parking the car in the driveway, I stopped suddenly, looking around me, it took me some time to recollect myself. “Please come down Ma'am, Sir and Lady Smith are anxious to meet you,” the driver said, coming out of the car, walking to the side of my d
Avery's POV “Good Afternoon Sir and Ma'am,” I greeted immediately I entered through their door, I was trying to be as cautious as I could be, afraid of ruining my plans before I actualized them, their suite had a beautifully designed dining area that was somehow detached from the rest of the suite, it was in such a way that we had access to only that area and not the rest of the suite and we could only see them only if they decided to come to the dining area. My greeting fell on deaf ears because they weren't yet in the dining area, so that meant we had to wait. This was making me nervous, I thought about doing this, and getting it over with but dragging it out like this made me more and more anxious. “Good Afternoon child,” I heard a response after a while, it was the woman, coming towards the dining area with a smile, it looked so beautiful, so pure that if I didn't know better I would have thought it was a true smile but now I knew it was just a cover-up, it was a good cloak for
Avery's POV “Yesssssss, please tell me,” Ella said excitedly, she had totally forgotten about her food and was concentrating fully on me and what I had to say, I didn't say anything more I just smiled and continued to eat. “Oh come on!” She whined as she grabbed my hand trying to distract me from eating and to tell her why I was in such a different but happy mood. “You will find out later today at work,” I said to her motioning to her food and encouraging her to eat the food she had abandoned, she grumbled but continued to eat with a frown on her face. Jake on the other hand didn't say anything, he just stared at me for a long time and nodded like he gained some kind of understanding. He chuckled at her childish behavior, I was so jealous of how he adored her, if only someone would cherish me the way he cherished her, I didn't dwell too much on that, I already knew what my fate was. “I am leaving now, don't be late for work,” I said to Ella, winking at her, I nodded to Jake befor
Avery's POV “I know you are scared, I also know that you came here with an intention in mind but, this is life, things change, situations change, it doesn't hurt to try, right?” Ella whispered, squeezing my hands, I looked at her with a sad smile, I knew that my intentions would never change. “I wish I can change my path but I can't,” I said letting go of her hand and walking away with tears rolling down my face, I wished it was possible to be her daughter especially since I hadn't been a daughter to anyone, especially since I had never felt the love of parents but it came too late. It all happened when things had already gone bad when I had crossed the bridge of no return. I kept walking, I didn't know where I was walking to but I kept walking, it seemed I could never escape pain no matter how hard I tried, no matter how happy things had become, no matter how good things were something had to hurt, almost as if I was destined for pain and pain only, I didn't want to live like this
