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
Amos' POV “If I was against you, you wouldn't stand a chance,” Victor chuckled looking me dead in the eyes. “What do you mean?” I asked looking at him perplexed, he was always the quiet and calm one but now he looked like a psychopath. “You are really lucky,” he said bursting out in laughter, he suddenly stopped and looked at me seriously. “I will tell you the story, because I know what you are thinking right now, and your guess is right, the roots of this matter go deeper than you can imagine,” he said to me, he was whispering and it seemed he wanted to tell me a secret. “I didn't meet Maya just anywhere in the city, I met her in an abandoned warehouse, she was just in a fight with Susan her master, and was badly injured.” Victor cleared his throat and signaled to me that someone was actually listening to our conversation. “Let's go back to my office,” he said as he led the way, I had never bothered to look for his office, nor had I thoroughly inspected this hospital. An over
Avery's POV “So it was you!” I screamed as I charged towards Amos with my claws all out. I was going to kill him and avenge my father, how cruel could the moon goddess be? She really made me the mate of my father's murderer. “Wait…what are you saying, listen to me,” Amos tried to say but it wasn't time to listen. “Avery!” Maya screamed as she came to restrain me but I was stronger so I pushed her aside. I have been kidnapped and hurt too many times, I have lived my life in pain and misery, this was all because of this disgusting man. “Die!” I screamed as I sunk my claws into his chest, he looked at me in shock but he didn't react. “Alpha!” Maya and Victor screamed in unison and tried to charge towards me but Amos shook his head and they stood back. “You could have easily stopped her, why did you let her do this?” Maya screamed, she must be very disappointed and frustrated, they brought him here to protect him but now what I had done had destroyed all that. “You really believ
Avery's POV “Is she awake yet?” Amos asked as I began to regain consciousness, why was he so concerned? “Stop moving Alpha, you are heavily injured,” Victor admonished, it seemed like Amos was not listening to him. “An injury that could have been avoided if only you resisted even a little bit,” Maya scolded, she seemed very irritated. “Did you really have to that far Maya?” Amos asked, what were they referring to? “Doesn't she deserve to know who her real enemy is?” Maya bit back, it seemed that she was telling the truth after all. “Maya,” I whispered as my eyes opened, I owed her an apology but even worse I owed Amos an apology, I almost killed him just now and for what? “Avery, you are finally awake,” Maya said sounding distant and unconcerned, I was not used to this behavior from her. “I'm sorry Maya,” I said truly, I had attacked Amos in anger and it seemed that I had ruined so many things. “If not that you are Alpha Winston's only child, I would have taken your life here
Amos’ POV“Wait!” One man shouted as they were about to enter the warehouse we were in, with the shock and sound of the explosion we couldn't move away quickly so we were frozen in that spot, they would surely catch us, and we stood no chance.“You guys are always in a hurry, I asked you to wait, this is the wrong location the man cautioned.“Are you sure they aren't here?” One lady asked, her voice seemed too familiar and I was trying to put a face to it but I couldn't.“They seem to be moving, they just left this place, their next location is about one hour away, let's hurry up so we can catch up to them.” The man said impatiently as he urged them out of the warehouse.“I can't wait to see the look on Daddy's face when he realizes that he lost everything because of that little bitch, let's go Quinn… Uncle Jack wait for me!” The voice screamed, I tilted my head to see the faces of these people and truly it was Angie, Jack, and Quinn with a set of warriors from the pack.My chest sudd
Avery's POV “Let's leave this place,” Amos whispered in my ears, after the electrifying time we just had, I was so sleepy that I forgot where we were.“Okay,” I said, still dozing off, I couldn't believe how tired I was.“You better not sleep off, I need more of your sweetness,” he teased as he picked me up and carried me out of the corner we were in.“Finally!” Maya teased as Amos carried me out of the hidden corner.“You two almost brought down this already falling warehouse,” Maya continued to joke but she also looked disheveled.“Pot calling the kettle black,” I whispered just loud enough for everyone to hear.We all burst into laughter, it was true after all, while we were having our special time they were doing the same too.“Do you feel better now?” I asked Amos as I noticed his relaxed demeanor, he nodded and pecked me on the cheek.“Now that we know our enemies, handling them will be easier,” Victor said with a smile as we left the warehouse.“Where are we going?” I asked Am
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
