Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 83 - FIRST DAY AT WORK
Avery's POV “So when can I start work?” I asked Jake, after the whole emotional moment, we all had a feast and after that we were all relaxing, so because the kitchen was so efficient and everybody did their work on time they end up having a lot of free hours after they have concluded their tasks. “You have already started work,” Jake replied. I didn't understand what he meant, how was this any work we were just eating and relaxing. “The director is out right now, when she returns you will need to meet her to negotiate your pay and all but apart from that you are good,” Jake explained, one would have expected the first day at work to be very hard and intense but that wasn't the case here, of course, the cooking test was hard and nerve-racking but after it was over I literally had nothing else to do. “Okay, so could you at least show me around the kitchen?” I asked, I just wanted to acclimate myself to the kitchen so I could do better. “I can do that chef,” one of the other c
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 84 - WHO IS THE DIRECTOR?
Avery's POV “It's ready but we still haven't decided on what toppings to use,” one of the chefs said, now from what I discovered from my little time in the Kitchen, one of the requirements to be a chef and work in the kitchen was to also be a baker, you weren't required to do it all the time especially if you didn't come to bake but it was for times like this I suppose. “What can we use?” I asked in a panic, our time was running out and we needed to deliver on time. “Let's use honey,” Jake said and bought some fresh honey drizzling it on the cinnamon biscuits, and giving it to the server. We were all holding our breaths and praying they liked it. “So this is what it means to be a chef?” I asked myself as I thought about the whole situation, the task of fitting people's state buds was one of the most difficult tasks ever. “What are you thinking about?” A chef named Margaret asked me, she seemed to be very quiet but she knew her onions. “What type of person would I need to b
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 85 - A NEW LOVE STORY
Avery's POV “Wait hold up, who is the director?” I asked, looking at Ella and the other chef. “She is of course,” the chef said, pointing to her and looking at me in surprise. “Do you live under a rock?” Jake asked jokingly, they all acted like I should have known but I had absolutely no idea. “I do apparently because I didn't know who the director was until five seconds ago,” I said looking at Ella who seemed to think it wasn't a big deal. “So who was the friend you called last night?” I whispered in Ella's ears, she just chuckled and gave me a knowing look, she didn't call anyone last night, she was just playing around. “So what if I didn't get this job?” I asked her in a whisper, everyone seemed to have gone on with their work since it was still afternoon and left the both of us to ourselves. “We need cleaners too, you would have fit somewhere for sure,” she whispered with a smile. I couldn't understand why she was helping me but I was so grateful that I finally had this goo
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 86 - ALMOST TOGETHER
Avery's POV “So you are a coward,” I said to Jake silently, he was my boss but I didn't care. I had not known Ella or Jake for a long time but I could already tell they would make a lovely couple. “Call me whatever you want,” Jake said almost immediately, what would it feel like to be loved by a man in this manner? I didn't know but I was going to make sure that Ella could tell me. “Wine!” Ella announced as she re-entered the kitchen, I was so happy to see her face shining so brightly. I might not know what that felt like but I suddenly had the urge to give her everything I didn't have. “Just sit here while we finish up with the food,” Jake said to her and I looked at the both of them intently trying to understand their chemistry. Her Ella looked at him with those eyes and at that moment I knew that their feelings were mutual, she was already in love with this man, so why couldn't he see that? “Ella can I speak to you for a minute,” I said almost immediately, I couldn't help mys
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 87 - VVIP 3
Avery's POV “What is it?” Jake asked looking somewhat irritated, Ella had recoiled and was just standing at a corner feeling very embarrassed. “Chef VVIP 3 is asking for you,” the other chef replied looking very anxious, a gasp escaped from my lips and I noticed that about the same time, Ella gasped too. Ella was the director. If she was scared of this couple then they really were torn in the flesh and I hoped we had not annoyed them with the meal we served. “Please come again…repeat what you just said,” Jake said to the other chef, he seemed to have lost his cool and was panicking but if you didn't pay a lot of attention you wouldn't notice. “Chef, I said VVIP 3 is asking for you,” the other chef repeated again, he had broken out in a cold sweat and looked like he was going to wet his pants. “Okay, let's find out what they want,” Jake said trying to keep his cool, I knew that Jake would be the one to get in trouble if the guests were not pleased and I knew he would cover for all
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 88 - A VERY DRAMATIC TURN
Àvery's POV “I can tell this meal was your idea,” the woman finally said with a smile, the idea was in fact mine but this was no time to take any credit because the truth of the matter is that if things had gotten out of hand everyone would have faced it so there was no need to accept all the credit for myself. “I apologize for disappointing you Ma’am but this idea was curated and deliberated by the entire kitchen, the same way every meal we serve is carefully deliberate and decided on by all the chefs,” I responded with a smile, her husband looked up at me and smiled. “Smart girl,” the man said with a deep baritone, it almost sounded like a roar and the hairs on my body stood. I actually had goosebumps on hearing his voice, I couldn't speak for a few seconds and then I found my voice. “Thank you, Sir,” I said bowing. I didn't plan to but it just came naturally. I was very sure that there was something strange and different about this couple but I didn't have the time to ask and s
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 89 - ALONE
Avery's POV “Avery!!!” Ella screamed, bringing me from my thoughts, I was lost in my own world trying to soak it all in. I looked up at her giggling softly. “Sorry, zoned out for a minute,” I said to her, walking up to her and watching her blush as I noticed the love bite on her neck. “Got laid didn't you?” I whispered with my hand on her shoulder, she literally turned red from embarrassment. “No actually but really close to that, I doubt I would be able to walk if we actually did it,” she whispered shyly, her eyes wondering to where Jake and the other chefs were celebrating with some wine. “I am just not ready yet and he said that was okay but I'm scared he won't be able to wait,” she whispered, I could tell by this behavior that it was going to be her first time and she was still very scared of taking that step. Just then Jake's eye turned towards her, it was as if he could feel her attention on him and he looked at her with eyes that adored her. She took in a sharp breat
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 90 - A BIG DEMAND
Avery's POV “What do you mean Ma?” I said taking the towel from her and covering myself with it, did she see me when I transformed? I looked at her in confusion, I was sure I had heard wrongly, did she just ask me to be her daughter? She was advanced in age and her husband too so I supposed they already had children. If that was true then why did she need or want a daughter? “I said to be my daughter,” the woman repeated again with a smile, looking into her eyes I could tell she was very sad and I didn't know why, she had everything her heart could desire so what was making her so sad? “Why do you need a daughter Ma’am? Or do you only have sons?” I asked the woman trying to understand where she was coming from. It felt strange to want to make someone a part of your family, especially if you just met them and know nothing about them. “Twenty years ago, I lost my daughter, she would have been around your age by now and I think I want you to fill that gap,” the woman said lookin

Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 99 - Reading The Diary
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 98 - THE DIARY
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 97 - NO MATTER THE COST
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 96 - STRANGE THINGS
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 95 - A Strange Visit
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 94 - A NEW HOME
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 93 - GIVING AN ANSWER
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 92 - A NEW PERSON
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
Best Friend's Mate CHAPTER 91 - UNKNOWN INTENTIONS
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
