Avery's Point of View 

I ran, each step pounding against the earth beneath me as my heart thudded wildly in my chest. The night air bit at my skin, icy and sharp, and each breath burned as I pushed myself forward. The distant howl of a wolf rose from somewhere behind me, and fear clawed at my insides. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.

The forest opened up before me, shadows twisting in the moonlight as branches snagged at my clothes and scratched my skin. But I welcomed the sting; it was a reminder that I was finally free. I chanced one last look over my shoulder, and in that fleeting moment, felt a flicker of hope. I would keep running, no matter how far, no matter how long—anything was better than being a prisoner in Julian’s pack.

I had managed to leave the pack's territory and was running towards the borders when I suddenly looked over my shoulder. The dark shapes of the warriors closing in sent a shiver down my spine.

“There she is!!” One of the pack warriors shouted, with my life visibly hanging on the line, I pushed myself harder, my limbs trembling with the effort, but I knew it was futile. Who was I kidding?

They were trained warriors, and I was just a wolfless shadow, a ghost with no power left, but I couldn't let them catch me, I can't go back to Krypta Clan.

I ran with all my strength, jumping over creaks and dodging branches, just when it seems as if all was lost. I saw the ancient silver abyss, a very dreaded place, rumoured to be filled with rogues and vicious spirits.

I knew I was risking my life as a part of me screamed to stop, to turn around and face whatever awaited me, but the weight of chains—both real and imagined—spurred me forward. But I don't know a more better option than this, and with one deep intake of hair, There’s no turning back I told myself as I jumped into the abyss.

“Halt!! That's rogues territory, she's probably dead by now, let's head back”, one of them said and I heard them retreat.

I struggled to keep my balance as I was barely hanging on the edge of the abyss. I looked down and all I could see was black and nothingness.

Just as I was about to climb back up, I saw a huge snake, terrified, I shrieked and found myself falling into the abyss.

I screamed as I kept on falling, it felt like an endless fall with no end. About ten minutes later, I landed roughly on the ground.

A bone-jarring impact met me moments later, pain radiating up my legs as I collapsed onto the hard, damp earth. The smell of moss and wet leaves enveloped me, grounding me in the moment.

Groaning, I pushed myself up, every muscle trembling with exhaustion. The silence of the abyss wrapped around me, thick and suffocating, broken only by the distant drip of water and the occasional skitter of unseen creatures. My eyes strained to adjust to the dim, eerie glow filtering through the canopy above.

I looked at my surroundings and couldn't map out a thing, I had no idea on where to go but I just had to trust and follow my instincts.

“Avery!” A voice, clear and insistent, cut through the quiet. My heart leapt into my throat, and I spun around, searching for the source. The air seemed to shift, carrying with it the metallic scent of fear. I turned, looking for who… or what that called my name. I decided to ignore it when I found nothing.

“Avery!!” This time around, the voice was clearer and more vivid than before. 

“Who's there?!” I asked as fear engulfed me, this must be the evidence of the spirits that were rumored to be here.

“Never forget who you are!! Remember what you are!!” cold beads of sweats starting forming on my head, with my fingers slightly trembling.

“You're not real!!! You're not real!!!!” I started running, without looking back. I kept on running, the abyss was so big that it took me 3 days before I got to a clearing, just as I was about to take a breather, I heard loud and vicious snarls coming from my back.

Even without seeing the creature, I had already known what it was, “Rogue”, I muttered underneath my breath.

With slow and steady steps, I turned and started running, with only one word in mind. ‘I need to live’

But they were closing in on me, I was just running on two legs while they were running on all fours. Just as I was about to jump over a fallen tree, a loud painful howl tore out of my mouth. 

I had just stepped into a trap.

“Dinner”, I heard one of the rogues say, taking a quick glance at them, my eyes widened in fear, right in front of my eyes were the most terrifying and hideous creature I've ever seen.

There were three of them as they started circling me, clearly sizing me up. Before I could make a move, one of them charged at me and bit down on my shoulder.

“Ahhhh!!” I screamed in pain, my hands drastically searching for anything to use as a weapon, then I saw a huge stone, I picked it up and struck it across the face so hard it had to release me.

I clutched at my injured shoulder, I was losing blood, and I was losing it fast. At this rate, I might die out here.

I can't believe that after escaping Julian, I still end up killed by a rogue. What a cruel fate I have.

Just as the rogues were about to launch a second attack at me, a huge domineering figure suddenly appeared out of the shadows, standing protectively in front of me.

I saw him tear the rogues into shreds in seconds. Just as I was about to slip into unconsciousness, I feel myself being pulled into a warm embrace and the late thing I heard before blacking out was.

“MINE!!”

Though my body was here, my mind clearly wasn't, as finding my mate was the only thought that clouded my mind.Just as I was scanning through the files, Slade became restless and agitated all of a sudden, I could feel him pacing round my head and it was giving me a headache.Even though Slade is very active at night, he has never been this agitated before and that was giving me great concern.“Slade, what's wrong?” I asked as I momentarily abandoned the files. I can attend to them later.“I don't know but I feel that something or someone is coming. But I can't tell what it is,” he replied as he continued pacing, this time around, more fierce that I had to hold onto the nearest wall for support.“Calm down buddy, are you planning to kill me?” I cussed as I held onto my throbbing head.“Sorry but we need to go out there, Kaiden.

I felt like destroying something.I could feel my body trembling, but I was forced to control myself due to the fact that I was holding my mate between my hands……. After all these years.“Let’s mark mate!” Slade demanded impatiently.“Slade! Keep your wolf urges down. How can you think of marking her in this state?” I snapped, my teeth gritting together.“But we’ve waited so long for her. Now that we’ve found her, what are we waiting for?” His voice strained as he fought to gain control, but I pushed him back, using every ounce of my will to hold him at bay.“I understand your frustration, Slade. I bear this curse too. Our mate is currently in a bad state, if we attempt to mark her now that she's in this shape, she's bound to die

I just found mine tonight, so I should be the impatient one here.“You only have ten minutes to get here, Caspian,” I said with an eye roll, the only person I’m a little bit free with is my Beta, Caspain.“Alright Alpha, expect me in the next ten minutes, he replied and I disconnected the mind link.I sat down beside her and continued staring at her, she has been through a lot and I will make sure to protect her with my life. She deserves happiness and that I would give to her.I couldn’t help but reach out, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. The warmth of her skin reassured me, a reminder that she was here, with me, but the lack of movement was unsettli

The words slammed into me, and for a moment, I felt as though the ground beneath me had disappeared. My body froze, but my mind exploded with emotions—excitement, hope, and a desperate, gnawing need to see her.But another feeling was stronger.Fear.It clawed at my chest, sharp and unrelenting. Would she hate me? Reject me? Slade growled low in my mind, urging me forward. His voice was a mixture of impatience and longing, like a caged beast desperate for release.“Go!” he barked.With his speed coursing through me, I was standing in front of my bedroom door within seconds. My hand hovered over the knob, trembling slightly as I took a deep breath. Even from the other side of the door, I could feel her presence—fragile, yet powerful. The air around me seemed thicker, almost electric.I stepped inside, and there she was.Sitting upright on the bed, her small frame loo

Though he’s my Beta and close friend, there were limits to it.“How dare you suggest separating me from my mate!” Slade’s authority infused my voice, and Caspian winced under the weight of the Alpha command.“I’m sorry, Alpha. That’s not my intention,” he stammered.“Then what is your intention?” I demanded, my voice low but no less menacing.“She fears you, Kaiden. If you don’t step back, you’ll lose her completely.,” He stated, “Give her space. Let her see you’re not the monster she fears.”With steady breaths, I released, finally getting his point but the thought of being apart from my mate was driving me nuts.“Once Lewis finishe

If your heads are the price for me to get Avery back here in the pack, then it’s worth it” I declared. “But…..”, I interrupted him with a cold glare. “No buts, my words are final, gather your men and find her, don’t come back here without her”, I stated with a note of finality. “Yes, Alpha, let’s go,” Scott said to his men before they left my office. The moment the door clicked shut, I collapsed to the floor, clutching my chest as an unbearable pain surged through me. My breaths came in sharp gasps, the ache refusing to subside.

Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief, but the fury in them didn’t waver. “*None of my business*? I’m your Luna! I’m going to be the mother of your future pups! Why are you still going after that useless Avery? She’s of no use to you, Julian! That’s why you rejected her and chose me over her,” she spat, her tone shrill and accusatory. The room seemed to grow colder. Her words ignited something in me—a spark that erupted into a roaring inferno. My fists clenched, and my vision blurred with rage. “Chose you?” I growled, my voice low and dangerous as I took a menacing step toward her. “Do you think I chose you?” Sophia flinched but tried to hold her ground. “Yes, you did! You rejected Avery because she’s weak! I’m the one who—” Before she could finish, I lunged forward, my hand wrapping around her throat in a vice-like grip. Her eyes went

    Avery’s Point of ViewMy entire body felt boneless. Weak. Like I had melted into Kaiden’s arms, and there was no strength left in me to even lift a finger.I gasped, my chest rising and falling rapidly against his. The heat of his body, the rapid thump of his heartbeat against my cheek... it was all too much. Too overwhelming.I hated how safe I felt in his arms.Minutes passed before I could even think straight again. My breath slowly evened out, but my legs? They were useless. I doubted I could stand even if I tried.Kaiden’s strong arms tightened around me, holding me effortlessly as if I weighed nothing. I would have rolled my eyes if I wasn’t too drained to even move.“You okay, Snowy?” His voice was husky, deep, laced with amusement.I could only glare at him. “Do I look okay to you?”His lips curled into a smirk. “You look…” He dragged his fingers lazily down my spine, making me shudder. “Completely wrecked and ravished.”Heat flared across my face. “Shut up.”He chuckled, shif

    Avery's Point Of View I shifted under the soft sheets, the warmth of the bed and the lingering scent of Kaiden surrounding me. My body ached deliciously, a reminder of everything that had happened. My skin still tingled where he had touched me, and I could feel the phantom sensation of his lips on mine. I blinked, Kaiden was standing by the dresser, his arms folded across his bare chest, watching me like a predator who had just finished a feast and was already hungry for more. A lazy smirk stretched across his face. “Morning, Snowy.” My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I squeaked, gripping the blanket and yanking it up to cover myself, my face heating instantly. “Stop looking at me like that!” Kaiden tilted his head, pretending to think. “Like what?” “Like you’re about to devour me,” I snapped, tightening my grip on the blanket. His smirk widened. “Too late for that.” My face burned even more. “You...” I groaned, throwing a pillow at him, but he dodged it effortlessly, l

    Avery’s Point Of ViewThe air was still thick with the scent of our passion, mingling with the crisp freshness of the forest. My bare skin tingled against the cool grass beneath us, but the warmth of Kaiden’s body enveloped me, keeping the chill at bay. I lay sprawled across his chest, his steady heartbeat drumming beneath my ear, a rhythmic lullaby that calmed the chaos within me.For the first time in my life, I felt safe.Was this what it felt like to have a mate who truly cared? Who held you like you were the most precious thing in the world?I exhaled slowly, afraid to hold onto the thought for too long. It felt fragile, like a dream that would shatter if I clung to it too tightly. Yet, at the same time, I never wanted to let go of him. Not now. Not ever.‘I can see someone is starting to feel all giddy,’ Lynexia’s voice echoed in my mind, teasing and full of amusement.I rolled my eyes mentally. ‘I’m not gushing over him,’ I muttered back, shifting slightly against Kaiden’s ches

I inhaled deeply, drawing in the scent that was now imprinted on my very soul—wildflowers, honey, and something purely Avery. It filled my lungs, wrapping around my senses, sending a possessive hum vibrating through my chest.She was still here.Slowly, my eyes opened, greeted by the soft glow of morning light filtering through the canopy of trees above us. The forest was peaceful, the air crisp, carrying only the faint rustling of leaves and distant birdsong. But none of that mattered.Not when I had my mate in my arms.Avery was curled against me, her cheek pressed to my chest, her breathing slow and even in deep sleep. My mark stood out against her skin—a faint, reddish-purple crescent on the curve of her neck where my teeth had sunk in last night.A surge of primal satisfaction roared through me at the sight. I had marked her. Claimed her. And no

    Warning: Mature Content Ahead Avery's Point Of View A choked cry tore from my throat as my back arched off the bed. My hands fisted in his hair, pulling him closer, needing more, needing everything. He growled against me, the deep vibration sending a fresh wave of pleasure crashing through me. "Look at you," he murmured, his breath hot against my skin, between slow, sinful strokes of his tongue. "Falling apart for me." I couldn't think, couldn't breathe, couldn't do anything except feel. His fingers dug into my thighs, holding me in place, his tongue relentless, teasing, exploring, pulling me higher with each calculated movement. "Avery," he rasped, his voice rough with desire. "So sweet… so perfect for me." I trembled against him, every nerve in my body burning, tightening, begging for more. His fingers traced slow circles over my most sensitive spot, drawing another desperate moan from my lips. The way he played with me, the way he knew exactly how to unravel me, was intoxicat

    Warning: Explicit Content Ahead. Avery's Point Of View "His smirk was sinful. His emerald eyes burned into mine, dark with hunger, his breath ragged as his hands gripped my waist with a force that sent a shiver down my spine. God, he looked like a man on the verge of losing control. And I wanted him to lose control. I barely had time to catch my breath before he dipped his head again, his lips brushing over the exact spot where his mark already sat on my neck. A low, satisfied growl rumbled deep in his chest, the sound vibrating through me. "Look at this," he murmured against my skin, his fingers tracing over the mark. "Mine." The possessiveness in his voice made my stomach tighten, made my thighs clench around his waist. Then, before I could respond he latched on. A broken gasp escaped me, my back pressing harder against the tree as his mouth claimed me all over again. His tongue flicked, his lips sealed around my mark, and then he sucked. Hard. My entire body a

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewBlood dripped from my fingertips, soaking into the grass beneath me. I didn’t even remember when I did it. Didn’t even feel it when my claws tore into my own flesh. I only knew one thing, I’d rather die than be the one to hurt my mate.The pain, the self-inflicted wounds, were nothing compared to the war raging inside me. I had thought that staying away would keep her safe. That keeping my distance would be enough. But the bond… The fucking bond. It refused to be ignored.I had pushed. It had pulled. I had fought. It had clawed back. Now here I was, slumped against a tree, my breathing ragged, my vision blurred.Weak.Pathetic.I closed my eyes, but then a scent… Her scent. It crashed into me like a tidal wave, invading every cell in my body.Fresh roses… soft and delicate.Vanilla… warm and intoxicating.And something else… Almond, honey, and wild fruits.A scent so uniquely hers, so dangerously addictive that it made my pulse skitter. Slade, stirred. His restl

I had to try… I had to do something.The pull was unrelenting. I didn’t know where I was going, but I trusted it. I trusted the bond. I stepped outside, the night air cool against my skin, and for a moment, I hesitated at the entrance of the house.This was reckless.This was dangerous.I should have stayed inside, should have thought this through, should have done anything but this. But… I needed to find him. My heart pounded with every step I took, my feet carrying me forward as if they already knew where to go. I didn’t question it. I just followed.The pull was faint at first, like a whisper in my veins, a tug in my chest that urged me forward.And then it intensified. The further I walked, the stronger it became, until it was an undeniable force, guiding me into the heart of the forest.The towering trees st

I gasped.And the voice finally spoke the words that shattered my reality.‘I am your wolf, Avery.’‘I’m Lynexia.’ The room spun. I staggered back, my breath hitching, my hands trembling.My wolf?No. No, that was impossible. I had never… I never shifted. I had lived my entire life believing I was nothing.But this… This wasn’t normal. I could hear her… Feel her. Like a second heartbeat inside of me. A part of me. My head spun, the walls around me seeming to close in."You’re lying," I rasped, shaking my head violently. "This can’t be true—this can’t—"‘It is true,’ Lynexia cut me off. Her voice was calm, but there was something beneath it… something ancient. Something powerful.‘You are not just human, Avery.’I clenched my fists, trying to breathe. Trying to think. Trying to understand. But it was too much. Too damn much. "You’re wrong," I whispered. "You h
