Avery’s POV

I stood frozen in the bedroom doorway I shared with my Beta mate, Craig—the love of my life. My heart was thumping erratically in my chest, and I felt sick. The sight before me felt like a nightmare. It could not be accurate. There, tangled up in the sheets, was my mate, cuddled up with another woman.

That woman was none other than Carolina, the previous Beta's daughter. She lay there with a triumphant smirk on her face. My stomach twisted painfully as realisation dawned on me. I could not deny it. My mate had been sleeping with Carolina. Anger flared up within me, and I clenched my fists into balls. How could he betray me like that?

"Craig, " my voice cracked, barely a whisper. What have you done?" Tears threatened to fall on my face, but I willed myself not to cry. Neither was worth my tears, and I would not let them have that satisfaction.

He opened his eyes and looked straight up at me. Confusion and shock etched across his handsome face. He sat up properly and turned to see Carolina beside him. He leapt up from the bed and growled at Carolina while she smirked at me like she had won.

"Oh my goddess! Avery, listen to me. This is not what it looks like. I swear to you."" He started to say, but I did not want to hear it. The denial in his eyes only made me feel worse. He had been caught red-handed, yet he dared to deny it was anything to worry about.

Carolina, with her arrogant, smug look, slipped out of bed and threw her long black hair over her shoulder; she was such a drama queen, such a slut! I could not stand her. I wanted to rip her apart, limb by limb.

She dared to shoot me a look that said she had got what she wanted. She had always been sniffing around Craig, but I never had a reason not to trust him before now.

"I guess I better be off now. See you later, Craigy. I enjoyed my time with you.” She winked at him, and I noticed the hickeys all over her neck, I shuddered with anger.

""You stupid bitch!"" I growled and lunged at her, grabbing a chunk of her hair; I yanked her towards me. Ignoring her screams and how she tried to kick out at me, I only saw red. "I am going to kill you, Carolina. Mark my words." I spat in her face, and she shrieked in horror.

"Let me go, you crazy nutcase," Carolina shouted, but it only fueled me to hold on tighter to her hair. Bringing my hand up, I slapped her hard across the cheek, leaving a red mark. Shoving her to the floor, she crumbled into a heap and tried to compose herself, but I lifted my leg to stomp on her, and the next thing I knew, I was being lifted off the ground and pulled away from Carolina. I growled at her as I realised Craig had taken control of the situation.

"Get out of here, Carolina. NOW!"" He shouted. Carolina slammed the door shut after her. I pushed him off me and moved to the other side of the bedroom. Opening the window, I breathed in the fresh morning air and told myself to calm down.

"Avery, let me explain." He reached out to touch my hand, but I snatched it away before he could. I perched myself on the chair and drummed my fingers on my leg. I could not bring myself to look at him. He had no idea how much this had hurt me. Craig was supposed to be my mate, the one that the moon goddess had paired me with, and he was supposed to love, worship, and be loyal. I could never cheat on him or hurt him. My love was stronger than what he felt for me. It was as if our lives were a huge lie; he wanted to sleep with that piece of trash and forget about our bond.

"I want a break, Craig. I need space to think."" I finally spoke.

"But, Avery, nothing happened. I don't know why she was there. I was asleep."" He tried to explain.

"I am serious, Craig. Deadly serious," I muttered, ignoring his disappointment. I need to think clearly, and I can't do that around you," I informed him.

"Beta Craig, I reject you as my mate," I spoke the words that were a death sentence over our bond.

Craig knelt before me, begging me to reconsider my words. But my mind was made up. I couldn't bear to deal with his betrayal or the look on Carolina's face when she knew she had caught them together.

"Accept it, Craig." I hissed in disgust, but he shook his head. I felt my stomach drop. How could he refuse my rejection when he was the one who had caused this in the first place? I wanted to be away from him, to be alone. I needed to breathe. I felt like I was suffocating in this room.

"No, I cannot accept it, Avery. You are my mate, and nothing happened with Carolina; I don't know why she was there. I was only sleeping. You would have felt it if I had done anything!" He tried to pull me into his arms, and I felt like I could easily fall into him and the whole world would melt away, and it would just be the two of us, but then the reality of finding him in our bed with Carolina came crashing back, and I pushed him away from me.

"Just accept it, Craig. We are over. I don't want to hear your stupid, petty excuses. How could you cheat on me with that bitch. I hate you! I am going out. Don’t bother to follow me.” I told him and knew then that I had to muster all my strength up to walk away from Craig. I needed space to think. I did not feel anything special like he said I would. “I need time to think about all of this.” I said firmly.

"I will never accept that rejection; I love you, Avery Woods." He shouted at the top of his lungs as I walked away.

    Avery's POV“Avery, wait. You can’t just go there alone. It’s not safe with all the mysterious disappearances lately. I will go with you.” He shouted after me.“No.” I said firmly throwing a dagger look at my so called mate. I couldn’t believe how he could act like he could care.“Then I will send security to escort you weather you like it or not.” He said but I ignored him and carried on walking.I needed time to think and to calm down. My head was a blur of chaos that I struggled to make sense of. How could my life be turned upside down in such a small amount of time?I couldn't stay around my mate for now; I knew I would end up saying things I would later regret. Whether anything had happened between them or not, He had hurt me deeply and seeing him with another woman was tearing me apart.I decided to talk to Craig later after the new life celebrations because then I would be in a much calmer state of mind.As I walked through to the pack's main ground, I felt nervous anticipatio

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Facing Reality

    The following days passed in a blur of grief, denial and anger. I couldn't wrap my head around the reality that Craig was gone. He was never coming back.I stood at the foot of his grave, the autumn blowing around me as I watched his polished wooden coffin lowered into the freshly dug grave. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach as numbness enveloped me like a thick, heavy blanket. It was an unbearable weight. This would be the last time I saw my true love again.I closed my eyes, and all I saw was his face. His last words echoed. “I need you, Avery, don't leave me.” It cut through me like a knife. I wanted to scream and order them to dig him back up and let him out because there was no way he could be dead. This couldn't be real.Whispers floated through the air like poisonous clouds drifting towards me and sticking to my skin.“She left him when he needed her. They were supposed to go to the celebrations together, how could she leave him behind?”“She broke his heart, and now he's de

    The mouldy air of the dungeon clung to my skin, roughing itself around me like a snake. I was kneeling on the cold stone floor, my body weak from the effects of that silver chain that Caroline made the guards bound me in.The darkness seemed to be whispering doubts into my ear, taught me of my guilt, of the above celebrated the life of my mate can’t believe that they were to blame on me confetti a pair of footsteps down the hallway, a wave of tension. I looked up through the bars to see that one of the guards showed me a flicker of compassion, his eyes wide with uncertainty.“Miss Avery, I’m sorry we had to bring you down here,” he said apologetically. Glancing over his shoulder as if to make sure he was alone. “I know that I shouldn’t be talking to you. But I’m not convinced that you killed Craig. You don’t belong down here.” He said sadly.“What do you mean?” I was surprised by his kindness towards me.”You have seen for yourself what they think of me. They think I did it.” I shook m

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Escape

    I lay down on the cold, damp floor of the dungeon, trying to block out the sound of Carolina’s laugh ringing in my ears. She was twisted and venomous.I thought about what had happened in the pack. I loved Craig, which I always had right from the start.I remember that day, so clearly I had fainted at the pack border, and when I opened my eyes, Craig's face was the first that I saw, and I knew in that instant that he was my mate, my saviour. Everyone in the pack looked down on me, but they wouldn’t bully me in an obvious way because they had a lot of respect for beta Craig, although I knew deep down that they probably wouldn’t mind giving me a hard time when they got the chance I wasn’t from this pack and didn’t even have a wolf. I wasn’t part of their family.. when I think back on my life before coming here, it’s just a blank. I don’t remember anything from my life before the Moonshadow Pack. I was grateful for everything Craig had done for me. He looked out for me, and Cady was my o

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Why is the alpha here?

    My eyes fluttered open to the strike brightness of what looked like a hospital room. I squinted at the sudden intrusive of light and my heart was racing with disorientation. The stark reminder of what I had just escaped filled my mind-the dungeon I had been thrown into, the escape and the accusations, the betrayal and death of my mate.“Awake, I see.” The deep voice sent chills down my spine. Turning my head slowly, I found the Alpha leaning against the wall, arms crossed and eyes boring into me. His expression serious that it made my stomach turn. I wanted to scramble from the bed and run away. I couldn’t be here anymore. I knew he would banish me from this pack and then what? I would die at the hands of rogues.“Alpha please,” I whispered, unable to keep the tremor from my voice. I expected his fury. I had been blamed for the death of the beta after all. My mate. I should be grieving and being comforted for my loss not blamed and forced to feel like a criminal. I deserved that at th

    “I don’t like to be your little project, Alpha Zane. I want to be able to stand on my own two feet, without needing your help or being seen as somebody’s trailing shadow.” I crossed my arms over my chest and“You’re wrong.” Zane’s voice softened as genuine concern etched his features. I couldn’t help but think about how handsome he was. Oh goddess! Why oh why was I having these thoughts. I felt safe with the alpha by my side, despite the fact he had a terrible reputation for being a playboy who only cared about his next bed notch. I swallowed hard, the urge to touch his lips was getting to much for me.“I am not giving you help because I feel that you need it or because I feel sorry for you. I am here because you matter to me.” The sincerity in his words made my heart flutter. He was the alpha and could have anyone he wanted.“I want you, Avery Woods. I see potential in you and want you by my side.” He stated as if reading my mind. I shook my head in disbelief. Was I dreaming this?He

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    An undeniable connection

    The sterile room, draped in shades of pale cream and stark white, felt both comforting and suffocating. I blinked against the harsh fluorescent lights overhead, the soft beeping of machines providing an odd sense of calm in an otherwise tumultuous existence. My mind was still reeling from the whirlwind of events that brought me to this point—a chaotic storm of grief, betrayal, and the crushing weight of loss.With a slow, heavy exhale, I sank deeper into the hospital bed's pillows, closing my eyes as I tried to block out the memories swirling around me. I could still see Craig's face, hear his laughter echoing in my mind—a sound that had once been a melody of happiness but now felt like an ominous ghost haunting every thought.The quiet stillness was abruptly broken by the soft click of the door opening. I opened my eyes to see Alpha Zane step through, his tall frame instantly bathing the room in an air of warmth and strength. His presence alone was enough to draw my attention away fr

    “I just wish everything would go back to normal,” I confessed, feeling the weight of my emotions press down on me. “I didn’t ask for any of this to happen.”Zane nodded, his expression thoughtful. “None of us did, but this is now part of your story. How you handle it defines you, Avery.”“Intense words for a playboy Alpha,” I teased lightly, a smile breaking through my despair as I recalled his reputation.He chuckled, a deep, warm sound that reverberated through the air. “Believe it or not, there’s more to me than just my reputation. I’ve had my share of struggles.”“What kind of struggles?” I ventured, curiously peeking into the man behind the title.Zane’s eyes took on a distant look as he reflected. “I’ve faced my own tragedies and losses. Learning what’s really important requires time. I failed to cherish someone dear to me, thinking I had all the time in the world.”“Is that why you…never seemed to settle down?” I asked tentatively. “Because you were afraid?”“Perhaps. It can be

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Ready or not

    Avery's POVThe truth hung in the air, thick and heavy, as the reality of Kendra’s words crashed over us. I was pregnant. The phrase echoed in my mind, a blend of disbelief and a rush of emotions that felt almost overwhelming. Joy, fear, excitement, and anxiety erupted within me, a chaotic storm swirling in my chest.Zane’s arm tightened around my shoulders, grounding me as my thoughts spiraled. He captured my gaze, his eyes shimmering with a mixture of emotions that mirrored my own. In that moment, the world outside lost its significance, and all that mattered was us—what we had created together. “I—” I struggled to articulate my thoughts, words tumbling over one another in my mind. “What do we do now?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, as I searched his expression for answers.“We figure it out together,” Zane replied, his voice steady but laced with emotion. “We take it one step at a time.” There wasn’t a hint of doubt in his demeanor, and as the gravity of my situation sa

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Pregnant

    Avery’s POV A heavy silence settled around us, punctuated only by the ticking clock on the wall and the soft rustle of packaging as Kendra set up the pregnancy test. Time felt suspended, each second stretching into eternity. My heart raced, caught between fear and anticipation, while my mind churned with unanswered questions. Zane’s presence was a steadying force beside me. His hand remained entwined with mine, his thumb tracing soothing circles on my palm. I wanted to focus on the comfort of his touch, but the enormity of what was about to happen loomed large in my thoughts. “What if I’m not ready for this?” I repeated, more to myself than to him, the thought echoing like a haunting melody. “Avery, nobody is ever fully ready,” Zane replied, his voice a low rumble of support. “But we’ll figure it out together. Whatever this result is, we’ll tackle it as a team." His unwavering confidence was soothing, yet my own doubts antagonized me. I didn’t want to let fear dictate my life, bu

    Craig’s POV As Delilah led the way through the thicket, I kept a vigilant eye on our surroundings, scanning for any signs of danger the moment we stepped away from the safety of our temporary haven. I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, each beat echoing the urgency of our situation.“Where exactly are we going?” I whispered to Delilah as we navigated the dense undergrowth, branches snagging at my clothes as if they were trying to hold me back from the path ahead.“To the old hunting lodge,” she answered quickly, darting glances behind us. “It’s abandoned, but it should be worn enough that no one is likely to search it.”“We can’t stay there long,” I warned, my gut twisted with the knowledge that time was not on our side. “What if they track us?”“They might, but the longer we stay away from Alpha Zane’s territory, the better. They’ll be searching for you, no doubt. We need to throw them off your trail.” That thought should have reassured me, but instead, fear twisted tighter i

    Zane’s grip on my hand tightened as he considered my question, his brow furrowing under the weight of uncertainty. “Then we take it one step at a time, just like Kendra said,” he replied softly, his voice steady despite the turmoil in the air. “We’ll talk about it. We’ll figure it out together. No matter what.”His confidence was both comforting and terrifying. I opened my eyes and met his gaze, searching for reassurance amidst the chaos of my thoughts. “But what if I’m not ready for this, Zane?” My voice trembled as I spoke, fear and vulnerability tumbling forth like a flood. “What if I can’t be the person that a baby needs?”Zane’s expression softened, compassion radiating from him. “Avery, none of us are ever fully ready for things like this. Life throws us challenges, and we just adapt. You’re strong; I've seen you face things that would break others. Plus, you wouldn’t be doing this alone.” I felt a spark of warmth at his words, but doubt still lingered. “And what about you? Are

    Avery's POV As I gazed into Zane’s eyes, a warm afterglow surrounded us, melting away the remnants of our earlier conflict. But as that sense of connection enveloped me, I felt a sudden wave of nausea crash over me. A bead of cold sweat trickled down my back as I pulled away from Zane, the world around me beginning to spin.“Um, I—” I stammered, my voice faltering. “I think I need to sit down for a—”Before I could finish my sentence, the room tilted precariously, and I stumbled, clutching my stomach. Panic surged through me as I rushed to the side, barely making it to the bathroom just in time. I barely managed to turn on the light before the contents of my stomach surged forth, heaving violently as dry heaves followed. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, more from the shock than the physical discomfort.“Avery!” Zane called out, his voice echoing with alarm just outside the door. I could hear his footsteps rushing in my direction.The door swung open, and I looked up to see hi

    Avery's POV“I understand more than you think,” I said, matching his intensity with my own. “But I refuse to let that weight crush my spirit—or my ability to fight for it.”“For once, can’t you just trust that I know what’s best?” he demanded, his voice thick with emotion. “Trust goes both ways, Zane,” I countered, my heart pounding in my chest. “If I can’t trust you to hear me out, if I can’t have a say in our direction, then I might as well be standing alone in this fight.”“Fine then!” Zane thundered, his frustration spilling over as he turned away from me, fuming under the pressure of our conversation. “If you want to defy me, I will take actions necessary to ensure you’re safe, even if it means locking you in here.”My breath hitched in my throat, anger flaring once again. “Are you really willing to go that far? To actually isolate me from everything and everyone?”“Maybe I need to!” he snapped, but his voice faltered as he saw my expression. “Avery, I don’t want to—but you leav

    Avery's POV“I think you're being ridiculous now.” I told my mate crossly. I had had enough of being treated like a child. Did he forget he was my mate not my parent? Zane’s face darkened with determination, and I could see the internal struggle playing out in his eyes. “I’m not compromising your safety for the sake of freedom, Avery,” he said, voice low but laced with urgency. “The last thing I want is for something to happen to you because I wasn’t vigilant.”“Vigilant?” I echoed incredulously, feeling the heat rise in my chest. “This isn’t vigilance; it’s imprisonment! You can’t just decide to lock me away because you think it’s for my own good.”His expression hardened, frustration flickering just beneath the surface. “You think it’s easy for me to do this? You’re not seeing the whole picture! If that rogue is a genuine threat, I won’t allow you to put yourself in harm’s way.”“And what do you think you’re doing by ordering me around?” I countered, every word coated with convicti

    Craig’s POV My heart dropped, and for a moment, I couldn’t speak. It was someone I thought I’d never see again—a relic of my past that threatened to unravel everything I’d fought to leave behind. “Its me.” I said. She stepped closer and gasped in disbelief. “I can't believe its you. Where have you been?” I stared at the girl in front of me. “I can't talk about it right now. Does anyone know you are here?” I prayed she was alone. She shook her head. “Nobody is with me, but I'm sure they will soon. They will know about your secret, before long they will. Believe me, Craig.” Delilah. She was an old friend from the pack. She had disappeared out of the blue and nobody had mentioned her since. I thought she was dead! “They are coming.” she whispered. A chill ran down my spine at her words. “What do you mean? Who’s coming?” I searched her face for answers, but all I found was a mixture of concern and urgency. “There are rogues within the pack borders. They haven't gone in on Alpha Zan

    Craig’s POV “Craig, maybe we should call it a day and just go back home. To the pack?” my eyes snapped to Carolina’s in dismay. Had i heard her correctly? She wanted to return to the one place that I was running from. “You think I am stupid enough to go back to that place?” I shook my head as we walked together. My fathers shouts still echoed in my head. Carolina's expression hardened, the resolute fire in her gaze clashing with the anxiety gnawing at my insides. “I know, but we can’t stay here with Terrance lurking around. He knows how to get to us now. We need protection, and Alpha Zane can offer that.” Cady was silent, her eyes darting between us as she seemed to process everything. The weight of Terrance's revelation hung heavily over us, and I realized how unprepared we truly were for the storm looming ahead. “Protection?” I echoed, disbelief coloring my voice. “You really think Zane would provide that?
