Avery's POV“Now…now, don't rush the girl,” Maya said to Amos with a frown.“Come darling, please eat something,” Maya pleaded, handing me the spoon yet again and urging me to eat.The way, Amos and Maya bickered back and forth, one would think they were siblings, I enjoyed the drama as I ate my food, I didn't know when all that food finished.“Perfect, well done my darling,” Maya said delightedly, surprising me with a hug.It felt so warm and wholesome, I didn't know when last I was hugged like that, I don't think I was ever hugged like that, and so the tears rolled down uncontrollably.“Oh child,” she whispered, understanding why I had begun to cry.“You must have suffered so much,” She said patting me on the back.“It's okay, let it out,” she said and I continued to cry, I didn't know how long it had been, maybe an hour or two but soon I slept off.“I need to go now, please take care of her,” Maya whispered as I began to open my eyes.“Thank you so much, Maya,” I whispered, hoping
Amos’ POV “Oh sweetness,” I whispered, taking her lips again and again. She tasted like a gift from the heavens, like a reward from the moon goddess. “You are so perfect, too perfect,” I said to her as I ran my hands through her hair. “I missed you so much,” She cried as she mapped my back with her nails. “I missed you too Sweetness, I was losing my mind when you said you would kill me,” I said honestly, with everything we had been through, I knew it was best to be as open with her as possible. “There have been too many misunderstandings between us, let's not do that again,” I said, not willing to let any other thing come between us. She nodded in agreement and turning over, she pushed me to the bed. “You are not fully recovered yet Sweetness, it's best for you to rest for now,” I said but my body betrayed me, I was already hard as a rock from the kisses and I wanted nothing more than to drown myself in her Sweetness. “Tell me you don't want this,” she said with a smirk, she
Avery’s POV “Good morning Sweetness,” Amos whispered in my ears as I opened my eyes. It felt like I was still in a dream, waking up to my mate, in a relaxed environment where I didn't have to always be self-conscious, I liked this new life. “Good Morning Love,” I responded with a smile, holding him by the neck and dragging him to my lips. “How do you manage to always taste amazing,” he asked putting his hand under the sheets and cupping one of my breasts as he leaned in for another kiss. “I put a lot of effort into it,” I joked kissing him with the same intensity as he was kissing me. “I just have to taste your pussy,” he moaned, taking off the sheets and kissing every part of my body. “I need to wash up first,” I said as he kissed my navel. “You know I don't care right?” He asked lifting his face to make eye contact. I knew he didn't care but I did, I wouldn't feel comfortable if he tasted me like this. “I know you don't care but I do,” I responded hoping to pass my messag
Amos’ POV“Did you find it?” I asked Jack who had recovered rather quickly in the past week, he had reported to work almost immediately.“Nothing yet Alpha, whoever did this must be really good at it,” he said shaking his head in frustration.“Even with all the connections you still found nothing?” I asked again, unable to believe what Jack was saying to me.“The only things I found were scattered clues, they don't make any sense and do not relate to each other,” Jack replied handing me a file.I looked through it and sure enough, the clues didn't make any sense, my interactions with Avery these past few days had heightened my senses to how much I took for granted.“Keep looking, dig six feet if you have to,” I said to Jack as I dismissed him, I didn't care what heights he had to go to but needed some tangible information about my mate and soon-to-be bride.The bride part was still in process but I was sure of what I wanted this time.“That's too much, please take it away, why did you
Amos’ POV“The person hiding Avery's information knew you were going to try to find her so she hid these clues in a way that only a woman could decipher,” Maya said pointing to the pictures and videos in an order that finally made sense.“Wow,” I said in fascination, of a truth neither I nor Jack would have been able to figure this out.“This case is more complicated than you think, there is more to it than meets the eye,” She said looking deep in thought then suddenly her eyes widened and she stood up from her seat.“We have to get Avery away from Vicky!” She screamed, at the sound of what looked like danger to Avery I was already up on my feet and ready to run.“Alpha!” A lady screamed rushing to me as we left my office, I recognized her, she was the lady I asked to tend to Avery while I was gone and immediately my heart sank.“What happened?” Maya inquired having the same look of horror I did on her face.“The Lady is missing!” She screamed in shock and confusion.“You were suppose
Amos’ POV“Keep moving towards the hospital,” Maya said calmly as if she didn't hear what Jack had just said.“But we need to return around and fight the fire,” I said, I had never seen Maya this focused and it made me wonder what actually was going on.“Keep driving like I said,” she responded blunting and began to type away on her phone.“My Lady,” a voice said into the radio, it was Victor who was on the line.“Baby, did you finish transferring the files?” She asked, what transferring files had to do with the situations at hand.“Yes My Lady, I finished it last night” he responded quickly, waiting as if waiting for her to say something else.“Okay, let the building burn, it would be a good decoy,” she said bluntly and I turned to face her in shock.“Eyes on the road!” she screamed not even turning to look at me.“Maya!” I screamed in response, something was not right and she either had to explain or we would have a problem.“Alpha please, she has been investigating this matter for
Amos' POV “Are we stuck here?” I asked Maya who seemed to be panicking for the first time since this situation arose.“Yes, we are,” she responded, looking around, she walked forward and used her hands, like a blind person trying to find something.“We are really stuck,” she said running her hand through her hair.“I knew this was too easy, I should have prepared better,” she mumbled seeming to be in a monologue with herself.“You really thought we were going to let you leave here just like that?” A voice asked behind us, we turned to see who it was and I was shocked by the sight before me.I saw skeletons, half-dead women, witches, and some elves, all women being led by a woman I assumed to be a doctor.“I wanted to deal with you later but I guess, we would have to do this now,” Maya said cracking her neck and adjusting her shoulders.“Why you are doing this is what I cannot understand,” the doctor said to Maya before sending one of the skeletons to fight her.Dropping the ladies by
Amos' POV “Get her,” Susan whispered and it was like all hell broke loose.All the women rushed towards Maya, attacking her all at once, she fought and fought and it seemed like it would never end.“Stop!” Susan ordered, and they all froze, at this point it was safe to say they were robots.“I want you alive, you have to see me succeed,” Susan said and walked away, going with the remaining women.Our car reappeared and the smoke had cleared out a bit.“Let's go,” Maya whispered as she staggered toward the car, I joined her with Avery and Vicky.“Hurry up!” Maya whispered as I sped away, trying to remember the directions that Maya had given on our way here.I had three half-dead women in my car and I couldn't bear to lose any of them, Maya and Avery had to stay alive for me and the pack but Vicky had important information that could help us get to the bottom of all this.“Victor, can you hear me?” I asked, I had dialed his number and connected my phone to the radio.“Yes, Alpha!” He r
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
