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
I stepped out of Avery’s room, the door clicking shut softly behind me. I could still feel her warmth lingering on my skin, the soft aftershocks of what had just happened between us. But I couldn't let that cloud my thoughts. No, I had to be focused. The moment I left her to rest, I knew it was time to start preparing her. She had just awakened her wolf, and with that power came a responsibility, a weight she wasn’t even aware of yet. My chest tightened at the thought. Avery was stronger than she realized, but she was far from ready for the world that awaited her. She needed to train, to be strong, and I was the one who had to help her get there. But it wasn’t just training that kept me up at night. My mind kept flashing back to the haunting vision I had of me, standing over her, my hands stained with her blood. The thought of causing her harm, even accidentally, made my gut twist in agony. I’d always been a warrior, a ruthless Alpha who led with strength, but I couldn’t bear th
Kaiden's Point Of View I needed to get out. The weight of everything, the visions, the bond, the looming threat pressed down on me like an iron cage. No amount of logic or reasoning could erase the fear clawing at my chest. I couldn’t risk hurting her. Which meant I had to get stronger. We had to get stronger. Without another thought, I turned away from the bed, away from the suffocating walls of my room, and strode toward the window. The moonlight bled into the space, casting long, eerie shadows that stretched across the floor. My muscles coiled with anticipation. And then I jumped. The wind rushed past me, and the second my feet met the earth, the change tore through me like wildfire. Bones cracked, stretching, reforming. Muscles thickened, rippling under my dark fur as my claws sank into the damp soil. The transformation was seamless, natural, like breathing. It was instinct. The second Slade, my wolf, took control, he let out a deafening snarl, the sound reverberating thr
Avery's Point of View “Hold her up properly!!”, Sophia ordered as her minions held me tight, paying deaf ears to my pleas and cries.This has been my life for as long as I can remember, I still don't know what I did wrong that made them treat me this way.Countless times, I always wondered what I've done that made Sophia hate me this much. I mean she has everything- The pack adores her, she has our parents and siblings love, she's practically the gem of the entire pack.While I was treated like the black sheep, my own parents made me feel like an outcast, they made me feel worthless.“Sophia, please… I’m your sister, your own blood,” I choked out, my voice trembling with desperation. “What did I do to deserve this? Why are you treating me like this?! Tell me, please… why do you hate me so much? I’ve tried… I’ve tried so hard to make you see me, to make you love me.”I groaned, unable to stop the tears from pouring down my eyes.“What did you just say? Sister?! I'm no sister to a witc
Avery's Point of View “Please welcome your future Luna, Sophia Smith”, he announced as Sophia gracefully stepped out and moved into his arms.Sophia Smith.The name echoed through the hall, crashing down on me with a force that stole my breath. Sophia. Not me… it was never me.Suddenly, I felt the air in my lungs disappear as I scrambled for support, I felt weak, I almost passed out from the shock.My knees wobbled, and I felt myself sway, barely steadying myself with a trembling hand on a nearby chair.He's been cheating on me….. With my own blood sister!!Was this the reason he was keeping us a secret?! The reason he watched me suffer in the hands of Sophia?How long has this been going on? I've been so naive, so foolish to think that an Alpha would fall for the pack's slave.What was I thinking?!!When I couldn't take it anymore, I ran out of the hall, I ran straight home, away from the prying eyes….. away from everyone.The cold night air hit me as I stumbled out of the hall, my
Kaiden’s Point of View“Your Highness, how did the search for your mate go?!”, Caspian my beta asked as he walked into my office.Almost everyday, the both of us go out in search of my mate. I had instructed him to stay back today cause of the important business we had at the pack. But for me, finding my mate was more important, so I had to go while he stayed back.“Same, it was futile. And the curse keeps growing stronger by the day!”, I said as frustration clouded my mind.“Three days ago, I killed a little boy, two days ago, I killed all the horses in the stables, yesterday I killed two pack elders, who am I going to kill today?!”“Calm down your Highness, we're trying every means possible to find your destined one”, Caspian said.“Don't tell me to calm down!!! Do I have to wipe out the whole pack before I find her?! How many more do I have to kill to make up for my ancestor's mistakes?! How many?!! And the Moon goddess isn't making things easier for me!!”, I thundered as I stood u
Avery’s Point of ViewAfter that night, my life grew from bad to worse. I've lost count of times I cried myself to sleep or the number of times I almost bled to death.“Argh!!” A soul wrenching scream suddenly split out of my mouth as I dropped the glass I was holding and fell to the floor in a heap.My loins was on fire, I cried out painfully, the pain spreading through every veins in my body and I instantly knew that Julian was with Sophia again.This was the pain he was talking about, the reason he did not let me accept the rejection. He tortured me on a daily basis, I was in constant pains because of him. He knew I was going to be in pains if he was with another woman aside from me.What have I done to deserve this?! Other werewolves are happy with their mates, but why is mine different?!The pain gradually subside after what felt like hours, and I weakly dragged myself from the ground. I pack the pieces of the broken cup and was about to leave the kitchen when Sophia walked in.I
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 v

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
Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe first thing I felt was warmth.Soft, delicate warmth, pressed against me as if she had always belonged there. 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
