Nathaniel I sat in my office, staring blankly at the paper in front of me. The cryptic message sent to Avery's phone had been weighing heavily on my mind. Who could have written such a thing? And how did they know she was alive?"Impossible," I muttered to myself. "No one knows her new contact information."My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Enter," I called out.Oliver stepped inside, his expression professional. "Sir, the investigation regarding the charity event is complete.""And?" I asked, my eyes still fixed on the paper."Nothing out of the ordinary, sir. The Montgomerys seem clean," Oliver replied.I nodded, though my mind was still on Avery's message. "Very well. I'll attend the event to oversee things personally. Ensure everything runs smoothly."Oliver nodded. "Yes, sir. Shall I—""Just keep digging, Oliver. I want to know if anything suspicious has been going on with the Montgomerys," I instructed.Oliver's expression remained neutral. "As you wish, sir

AveryI paced back and forth in my living room, the phone still glued to my ear. Clara's reassuring voice calmed my frazzled nerves, but my mind raced with questions."Avery, slow down, what's going on?" Clara asked, concern etching her tone."I got this weird message," I explained, trying to steady my breath. "No name, no number. Just those chilling words. I don’t know how this person got my contact with the fact it’s a new one and I didn’t share it with people, something terrifying must be going on!” Clara gasped. "Oh my god, that's terrifying! I know how you must feel right now but you need to calm down, Do you think it's related to Ethan or the Montgomerys?”"I have no idea," I admitted, frustration creeping in. "That's what's driving me crazy. I've been racking my brain, but nothing comes to mind.""Don't worry, Ave," Clara soothed. "I'll dig into it. We'll figure out who's behind this."Just as Clara was about to continue, a knock at the door interrupted our conversation."Hold

NathanielI glanced at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time, sighing heavily as I rubbed my temples. Another summons from Grandma. I loved spending time with her, but lately, our conversations had become predictable and annoying."The Montgomerys this, Sasha that," I muttered to myself, shaking my head. Grandma's fixation on their family was starting to grate on me.But I had promised Avery I'd play along. Time to put on a show. I gathered my thoughts, grabbed my jacket, and headed out of the office.The drive to Grandma's mansion was a short one, and before I knew it, I was pulling up to the grand entrance. The butler greeted me with a nod, and I made my way to Grandma's favorite sitting room.As I entered, Grandma's warm smile greeted me, and she opened her arms for a hug."Nathaniel, dear! I'm so glad you came," she said, squeezing me tightly."Sorry about last time, Grandma," I apologized, trying to sound sincere. "I had something urgent to attend to."Grandma's eye

Nathaniel I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my anger still simmering from the encounter with Ethan. Who did he think he was, laughing at me like that? I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the irritation. As I drove back to the mansion, my thoughts shifted to Avery. I needed to ensure her safety above all else. I wouldn't let anyone harm her, especially not the Montgomerys. My gaze wandered to the side of the road, and I noticed a small flower shop. On a whim, I pulled over and parked the car. A bouquet of flowers might lift Avery's spirits, and I longed to see her radiant smile. I stepped into the shop, greeted by the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the warm smile of the florist. "Welcome to Petals and Posies! How can I help you, sir?" Her bright blue eyes sparkled, and I found myself returning her smile. "Hi. I'd like to get a bouquet for someone special. Something to brighten her day." "Aww, that's so sweet!" She nodded enthusiastically. "What's her favorite flowe

AveryI woke up feeling refreshed, my body stretched out across the soft mattress. For a moment, I forgot about the chaos that had been brewing inside me. But as my gaze drifted to the person lying beside me, my face flushed with embarrassment. Nathaniel, with his chiseled features and piercing eyes, was watching me with a gentle smile.Oh no, oh no, oh no. How could I have asked him to stay over? I thought, mortified. The memories of last night's desperation flooded back, the tears, the pleas, the vulnerability. I had broken down in front of him, and now, I couldn't bear to face him. I had always tried to remain or look strong but it seems the wall I had spent so much time building suddenly started cracking yesterday. I quickly grabbed the pillow and covered my face, trying to hide from my own embarrassment. "What am I doing?" I whispered to myself."Avery, are you okay?" Nathaniel's deep voice asked, his hand brushing against mine.I hesitated, still hiding behind the pillow. "Yeah

Mrs. Montgomery sat behind her sleek, mahogany desk, scanning through the files spread out before her. Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized every detail, her mind racing with strategies and counter-strategies. Sasha suddenly burst into the room, her face twisted in anger."Mother, have you seen the event plan?" Sasha demanded, her voice low and urgent.Mrs. Montgomery looked up, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "Of course, dear. What's bothering you?"Sasha paced across the room, her heels clicking on the polished floor. "They're going to mention Avery at the end of the event. Why bring her up now? Everyone's forgotten about her."Mrs. Montgomery leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "That's exactly why we need to bring her up, Sasha. You still have a lot to learn if you want to survive in this world."Sasha stopped pacing, her brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"Mrs. Montgomery's smile grew wider. "Avery's not just anyone, Sasha. She's a threat. And she's s

Avery’s POV I paced around my living room, frustration simmering beneath my surface. Nathaniel had forbidden me from attending the charity event, citing safety concerns. I understood his reasoning, but it didn't quell my desire to be there, to witness the proceedings firsthand. I snatched my phone and settled into the couch, flipping through the channels until I found the live broadcast of the event. The camera panned across the crowded room, showing familiar faces and lavish decorations. Sasha took the stage, her confident smile radiating through the screen. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, welcome to tonight's charity gala. Tonight, we gather to support a noble cause, one that touches the hearts of many." I listened intently, my anger simmering as Sasha spoke about the Montgomery family's philanthropic efforts. I kept on watching and I saw the bidding people made, I knew that my stepmother had used this as an opportunity to milk from the elites, I groaned at each interval

Sasha breezed into her mother's room, a triumphant smile plastered on her face. "Mother, have you seen the news? The charity event was a huge success! The media is eating up our sob story."Mrs. Montgomery, reclining on her plush couch, gestured for Sasha to join her. "I've been watching, darling. You did an excellent job playing the bereaved daughter. The public is eating out of our hands."Sasha plopped down beside her mother, excitement radiating from her very pores. "And the best part? They're all feeling sorry for us. No one suspects a thing."Mrs. Montgomery chuckled, her eyes glinting with satisfaction. "The charity event was a brilliant move. Mentioning Avery's name was the icing on the cake. That girl's reputation is still toxic. Just the mention of her name will stir up controversy."Sasha's grin widened. "I know, right? And we will be waiting with bated breath for Avery to slip up. One mistake, and she'll be behind bars."Mrs. Montgomery patted Sasha's hand. "Patience, darl

NathanielI stood in front of the mirror, the fabric of my suit smooth against my fingertips. The dark gray wool, sharp and immaculate, was supposed to make me feel in control. Yet, as I adjusted the cufflinks, my reflection felt like a stranger’s, distant, cold, almost unrecognizable. I didn’t want to see myself, didn’t want to be the man who had failed to keep the one person who mattered out of prison.Avery was still locked up. It didn’t matter that I knew she was innocent, the system didn’t care about that. The feeling in my chest was slowly killing me. There was an unrelenting pressure that was suffocating. I wanted to scream, punch something, do anything to make it stop, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t afford to break. Not now.I exhaled sharply, fixing my tie for the umpteenth time, and turned away from the mirror. It was time to move.As I stepped out of the room, Michael was waiting for me in the hallway. I didn’t need to say anything. He knew the look on my face all too well, the

“She really did all this?” I asked flipping through the pages of the documents in shock.“Yes Alpha king. From embezzlement, torture, forging of your signature to murder,” Ruby responded. I scoffed in disbelief sitting up properly on my hospital bed. Nicola really did a number on me. She did all this right under my nose. “She killed the woman in charge of the orphanage?” I muttered. Ruby hummed. “She killed her and dumped her body in the sea. She destroyed the cameras around but admitted everything to Daphne. She recorded their conversation.”I was still recovering from the surgery which had thankfully gone well. Asher was still in his room as well. I would have gone out of the hospital on the second day but Daphne made me stay in bed. I hated being idle. “How was she able to pull that off all on her own? There has to be someone hiding her trails,” I replied dropping the papers on the table. She had used my stamp on a lot of forged documents without my knowledge. She withdrew a lar

“Liar! Another word from your mouth and I will change my mind about not killing you!” I growled. She glanced at the both of us looking confused. “What reason would I have to lie? The letter really got delivered to Nick. He received it and assured him he was going to give it to you,” she insisted. First it was elder Thayer and now her? I’ve known Nick since we were still children. All these accusations were absurd. I didn’t believe a single one of them. “You are Kyle’s lackey. You tried to kidnap my children and kill my mate. Who knows? You might be trying to mislead us right now. And even if you aren’t, your companion whom you claim to have given the letter to Nick could have been in cahoots with Kyle without you knowing,” I replied. I glanced towards Daphne who wasn’t saying anything. Was she seriously buying this bullshit?“That’s impossible. He recorded their conversation. If he didn’t receive the letter, that wouldn’t have been possible,” she replied. “When was this?” Daphne as

I dropped the phone on the bed and I walked towards the door to see who was knocking. Just as I placed my hands on the door knob, I felt dizzy and quickly lose balance. I fell straight to the ground and everything began to move hazy in my eyes. “What was wrong with me?” I asked myself and I noticed that the door suddenly opened. Jake walked inside to meet me on the floor I tried to talk, but my mouth was too weak to even form a word and just then, my eyes went shut. All sounds faded into the background as I slowly drifted into unconsciousness.*******I opened my eyes slowly and immediately tried to get familiar with where I was. The smell of the chemicals around me made me realize instantly that I was in the clinic. I then noticed that I had a needle pricked through my veins. As I tried to turn to face the other side, I could not help but notice that I was staying in the ward of another person. “Who is this and why did they put me here?” I asked myself. I felt a sharp pain in my head

Alpha Gabriel's POV“Good morning, alpha Gabriel. I hope you had a great night?” Laura tried to get on the food side of me as she walked up to me, but the kind of fierce stare that I gave her, made her retract from what she was about to do. I heaved a sigh as I halted my steps and tilted my head to look at her.“Wait! What are you still doing her in the pack? You ought to have left by now. Why are you still here? It's confirmed that you have no business to do with her disappearance, and besides you were already leaving that day before I stopped you.” My voice was stern and coarse as I spoke to her. She inhaled deeply, lowering her head, but I was not moved by all what she was doing. I only waited patiently for her to do all she was doing so that she could start talking.“I just thought that leaving you in your trying times like this would be a wicked and callous act to do, and I don't want that at all.” I could not help but chuckle as I looked her in the eyes sternly before I cleared

I woke up to the sudden buzz of my phone. I reluctantly opened my eyes to see who the caller was, and then I noticed that it was Zoey who was calling. I quickly sat up on the bed and that was when I noticed that Alpha Maxwell was not in the room as well. I picked up the call and placed the phone over my ears to talk.“Hey! Good morning!” I said immediately the call connected. I grunted slightly as I came off the bed and walked towards the bathroom. She did not seem to hear what I said, and then I repeated my earlier statement. “Good morning, lady Ariana.” Her voice echoed through the phone and I inhaled deeply. I stepped into the bathroom and then quickly went over to ease myself, but uttering a single word as I did not want my voice to echo inside the bathroom. As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I walked towards my bed and sat at the edge before I started to talk.“How is it going over there?” I asked her immediately I sat on the bed and I heard her take a deep breath before

I woke up to the chirping sound of birds outside the window. My heart raced faster immediately after the thought of being inside the alpha Raymond's pack hit me. "Why would she even come up with that idea?" I asked myself as I came off the bed. My heart skipped a beat as I walked towards the bathroom to freshen up. Not long after, I walked out of the bathroom but still wasn't feeling relieved at all. I walked to the window, actively looking for what was going to distract me from my thoughts. The morning was looking sunny and the maids were all about their normal routine.I was jolted from my reverie when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. "What was she doing here again? Has she come to rub it on my face again?" I asked myself and then took a deep breath before I cleared my throat to respond to the knock."Come in!" I yelled and the door opened immediately, revealing a guard as he walked into the room rapidly, bowing to greet me from afar. I could not help but heave a sigh of relie

I sat there on the bed while looking away from him. I tried to think of what Liam could have told him but I couldn't come up with anything because I told Liam a lot of things already. After a while of trying to think and coming up with nothing, he suddenly cleared his throat, inhaled deeply, and started to talk."You should not let your past decide what is going to happen in your future. You need to stand up for yourself regardless of all the hurdles that you might encounter on the way to success. I don't know how I sound right now but you sure understand all that I have been saying to you." I nodded slightly as if I were following all that he was saying but in the real sense, I was only thinking of what Liam had told him. My heart raced faster as I sat there, my head lowered as I avoided his gaze."I don't know what it is about you that I like so much about you. I have told you this several times and up until now, I still can't figure it out." He paused to take a deep breath and I qu
