~Avery~
I walked right into her room as I found the door open, her roommates and her were accessing dresses for tonight’s event and I could not help but feel sad because I was not invited to my mate’s coronation.
‘’She is here.’’ Mira, the mermaid told her and they all turned to look at me.
‘’Hi, Avery!’’ The other greeted and I flashed them a weak smile.
‘’Ree, why are you standing there, looking? Come and join us to pick your gown for tonight, we do not want to run late.’’ She pointed out.
I did not move an inch at all from where I was, in fact, I wanted to turn back and leave but I thought about the cons of such action, so, I decided to change the topic.
I cleared my throat before speaking, ‘’You have fully recovered, I see.’’
Her face instantly lit up, ‘’Yes, I have
~Avery~I would have been so much happier if it was a masquerade ball because my anxiety was eating me up as we stepped into the ball room, his house was so big that anybody could get lost in it and that was why I clung to Ashley, the whole time, just like Ashley stated earlier, their eyes were glued to us, well, one reason was that, she was the Lycan’s daughter and I was just a girl who stood next to her.A wide grin appeared on her face as soon as she spotted her parents, she grabbed my hand and attempted to pull me to meet them but I was too scared to have a conversation with her father, I mean, he was the Lycan for crying out loud, I would literally start trembling and stuttering.‘’Uh, please, can you show me to the bathroom? I have to pee.’’ I lied.She gave me the directions with a warning that I should not get lost.Another reason why I was running away was that
~Avery~We took me into a room and locked the door behind him before dropping me gently on the bed, his actions were really strange but I was scared to ask him the reason for doing such.I mean, if he had realized that he has been doing the wrong thing by hurting his mate and had chosen to reveal his Luna on his coronation day, then, it was not a bad idea at all.I prayed that he would keep up with this whether it was an act or not, I was quite aware that Ashley and Alison must be looking for us but I liked the fact that we were in the same space, it felt different in a good way.‘’Are you staring at me like that?’’ He asked me with a perked brow and I instantly looked away in embarrassment.He bent down to stare deep into my eyes and I almost got lost in his green orbs, they were like a charm.He touched my face gently and I flashed him a weak smile because it made sparks to
~Avery~I was still on the floor, shedding tears when the door flung open to reveal Ashley standing there in shock, I instantly sniffed and wiped my tears, trying to put on a happy face but it was too late because she had seen everything, she rushed to my side to question.‘’Ree, what happened to you? I have been looking for you all over the place, I was worried sick that you had gotten lost, why the tears? Who did this to you?’’ She threw so many questions at me and it made me cry even more.I was definitely not going to tell her about the role that her brother played in the whole situation, I would not want her to get angry on his big day.‘’Nothing.’’ I answered her.She did not buy such response at all, ‘’What do you mean by nothing? Here, you are here crying and you are telling me, nothing. You cannot be serious now, tell me, ple
~Alexander~The fake smile that has been displaying on my face while I have been receiving a lot of congratulations from our guests washed away, the moment that I perceived her scent, it was annoying to know that she could not obey my commands, the way, Alison did.I had a reason for telling her not to attend my coronation party, I was sure that she was forced to be here by my sister, that girl was becoming a bad influence to her and very soon, I will break up their friendship.I could not deny the fact that she caught my attention with how gorgeous, she was looking, if only she was not a weakling, I would have announced her as my Luna tonight.A strong Alpha with a weak Luna, nope, I never wanted to be in such situation.I had to keep my dad from seeing her before he would gain suspicion, he would literally force me to accept her and that is the last thing that I wanted.‘’Babe, you have
~Avery~The announcement of Alison being his Luna never existed, it was all made up in my head and I was grateful for that, I was currently seated by the bar, sipping my wine out of a glass as I stared at them, dancing together, his hands on her waist and staring deep into her eyes as if he was deeply in love with her, not even paying me an form of attention.Ashley was nowhere to be found and assumed that she was hooking up with one of the guests since she had been complimenting different guys in the party, I was all alone with my sad thoughts, wishing that I was in the position of Alison.I replaced the wine with tequila because I wanted to get really drunk for the first time, so, I could pass out and forget that it ever happened.I had taken so many shots when Tyler came to join me, a weak smile appeared on my face to greet him, ‘’Hey, Beta.’’‘’Hi,
~Avery~The door slowly pushed open and his intoxicating vanilla scent wafted up my nostrils, I managed to sit up and I felt light headed, he was looking so hot with almost all of his buttons loosed, my vision was beginning to clear up slowly as he walked into the room and locked the door behind him.He stood in front of me and I looked up as he placed his hand on my face to caress it, I shut my eyes and smiled weakly, enjoying every bit of his touch but it was cut short when he gripped my face hard and dug his finger into my mouth for me to suck it.‘’You seemed quite happy with Tyler, tonight. Nothing happened between you guys, right?’’ He questioned in a very calm tone that scared me.I nodded slowly before replying him, ‘’No.’’‘’That is my girl, nobody deserves to have you, you are mine to keep.’’ He stated.He just claimed m
~Alexander~Ever since my coronation, Tyler has been giving me an off vibe like he was angry at me or something worse, at first, I did not care as I assumed that he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I could not even depict why he was even pissed at me, he was the one flirting with my mate even though that he did not know that.As for Alison, the sex that I had with her was lame and I was slowly getting tired of it, very soon, I would dump her, my parents did not like her anyways, so, they would be in full support of my decision.I do not even want to talk about Avery because I would not end up getting a boner, it was crazy how just a tiny drop of attention that you would show to a girl would make her head over heels for you, she was only going to get her heart broken because I did not have interest in her currently and I never will.I was still thinking of whether or not to move out of the school and to
~Avery~I could not attend lectures because I was not feeling good at all, I could not remember everything that happened the previous night, the only memory that I had was the sex with Xander even though, he did not mark me, I tried not to think about it because it would only make me cry.At least, I made a new friend at his coronation party, so, the only people that I had were Tyler and Ashley, I was patiently waiting for school to be over, so, that I would go to her room and maybe, sleep over because I did not want to be in the same space with him.The words that he told me kept ringing in my head and there was no way to make it stop.I was still deep in my thoughts when I heard a loud knock on the door, it was so aggressive and I knew exactly who it was, the same person that I wanted to run away from.I reluctantly stood up from my bed and walked to the door to open it with shaky hands and a racing heart
I stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring at my reflection as I smoothed down my dress. It was a deep shade of emerald green, with intricate beading that caught the light in a mesmerizing way. Despite the grandeur of the event that was about to take place, I felt a sense of dread settle in the pit of my stomach. I didn't want this - the mate, the ceremony, any of it.I couldn't help but feel trapped and suffocated. I knew I should be excited for the future of our pack, but the thought of being forever bound to someone I despised made me want to run away.Lost in thought, I didn't notice that he had entered the room. His coronation suit was a sight to behold. It was a black tuxedo that hugged his muscular frame in all the right places. His messy brown hair added to his charm, giving him a bad boy edge that was impossible to resist. As he drew closer, I caught a whiff of his cologne, the scent more alluring than ever before. It was a mix of musk and sandalwood that made my he
~Avery~It was finally the day for us to move into the pack house and if I told anybody that I was happy about it then, I was obviously lying, he had no reason to expose our mate bond but he did it out of spite, now, I was stuck with him.I just had to take my training seriously, so that nobody would be able to bully me anymore, I was honestly sick of it.I was quite aware that his parents were going to host a party for his pack opening and I hated to be a participant in it but I had no choice.''Hey, Luna Avery!'' Ashley called out my name in an excited tone.Before I could reply her, Alex beat me to it, ''Don't call her that, she is not mine yet.''I rolled my eyes, the moment that I heard his voice and chose to give him a comeback, ''Who said that I wanted to be yours?''He stared at me lustfully and responded with a wink, ''Come on, babe. I know how long, you have been dying for you to be mine, that's why I did you a favor.''I scoffed in response, ''A favor? More like you ruined
~Alexander~Call me crazy for putting up that condition but it was going to work in my favor, everybody would finally see that she was not good enough, the only thing that she was beauty and it was not enough for me, even with all the training, she would still be weak, it was as if she did not even have Alpha blood in her, she was just somebody that I could not understand.I prepared myself to face my parents because I knew that they would throw a lot of questions at me for hiding the truth especially my father, another month with her was either going to mare or make me in the sense that I would fall hard for her or my six senses would still be working enough for me to be the Alpha King.I could hear my father question my mother on my way to his office, ‘’You mean to tell me that he kept such a huge information from us?’’He was going to be very pissed considering the fact that I had valued Alison more than Avery, I still did not regret it though.‘’Here
~Avery~Just when I thought that he would call it off and show everybody how evil he has been to me, he decided to put a condition on our relationship.I wondered what kind of mate he was, a horrible person whose pack members were going to suffer because he was the Alpha.His mother asked him with her brows scrunched, ‘’What do you mean, no?’’‘’She cannot be my Luna because she is weak.’’ He announced, that only made murmurs to erupt.I could hear all their harsh comments against me.I wanted to humiliate him by rejecting him but I guess, once again, he had beaten me to the draw.My father was quick to jump into my rescue even though, it was a fake act, ‘’Her weakness is just temporary, that is not enough reason for you to reject her.’’‘’Coming from the person who has always wanted to kill or disown his daughter because of the same reason.’’ My wolf asserted with a scoff.‘’Yes, Alex. Remember my love story, your father learnt the hard way and he would not even
~Avery~The moment that he said those words, I heard gasps from the crowd, my heart was racing so fast because I never wanted this to happen, I could not even depict what exactly was wrong with me, at this beginning of all these, I have been dying for this day to come when he claim as his own but now, I wished that I could reverse time and erase myself from his memory.I did not want to be with him and he did not as well, he just wanted to make me suffer for no reason.I stared at my father and the others, the look of shock was vivid on their faces, I would just have to save myself from this situation before it was too late.‘’What?! That is not true, why would you make a false claim like that? We are not mates.’’ I lied.I noticed that the light in his eyes dropped when I said that but I did not care, the earlier that he realized, he had hurt me badly and I wanted nothing to do with him, the better for his dark heart.‘’Don’t try to lie, Avery. You have always wanted this
~Kyra~I tried to avoid my mother’s eyes as I sat down quietly, my parents and the lawyer had been waiting for my arrival and I was quite reluctant to see them, in as much as I loved cooking, I had been avoiding the restaurant, it held too much memories there which would only make the grieving process hard for me.As if that was enough, I heard that Alexa and I would be going to see the Alpha in order for them to discuss her moving plans, it would be hard for me, seeing my mate with another girl.‘’Good morning, mum and dad.’’ I greeted.‘’Good morning, sir.’’ I added to the lawyer with a weak smile.‘’Morning.’’ They replied, simultaneously except my mother who shot me a deadly glare.‘’What took you so long? Do you know how long we have been waiting? The barrister has other things to do with his time and you chose to waste time, why can’t you do something good for once?!’’ She fired at me.I heard my father sigh, almost immediately, ‘’Cassandra, let her be. She has been working obvi
~Alison~My worst nightmare had finally caught up with me, I had always feared that it would happen but I did not want to doubt my capabilities of keeping him under my spell for long.He was meant to be my golden ticket to the life ths I had always wanted, every where that I went, I had to keep my head high or else, I would be stumbled upon.My family hated me, they never wanted anything to do with me, he was the only one who accepted me for who I was, he did not judge me for one second, even, his scolding did not feel weird like the others. He made me become a better person to the next that I became obsessed with him and I was scared of loosing him, I could not deny the fact that I knew somebody that his mate would come into his life and snatch him away from me but I did not expect it to be her.How could one weak fellow be blessed to have him as a mate?!She was so lucky and I was jealous of it.I always had my suspicions on it but with the way, he
~Alexander~I did not want to imagine the kind of trouble that she would get into with her father, for the first time, in my life, I felt guilty even though I was innocent, if I had not forced her, Alison would not have been so petty to humiliate her.Just the same way that I could not forgive Alison, I was unable to forgive myself as well, the hatred in her eyes told me that I had officially crossed the line, I was supposed to fix everything but I only made it worse, my wolf did not even utter a word in my defense.At this point, I did not care if anybody found out about our mate bond, I had already broken up with Alison and was ready to move on to the next phase of my life with the girl that the goddess had destined me to be with.I hated the fact that I had caused her so much pain that I was scared that the goddess might hear her cry and curse me, I would have to pay for the rest of my life.I had to do something to stop it quickly, one thing was for sure, Alison was going to be ex
~Avery~The murmurs that I heard from my pack members was enough to announce my doom, my brother said nothing to me, he just had the scornful look on his face, this was going to be my last day on Earth, I was sure of it, I wished that I could reverse time and set things right.I wished that I had never met Alexander Ethan, he was more of a curse than a blessing.My father descended the stairs slowly and the first thing that I noticed was his eye color were pitch black, my heart started racing so fast and I began sweating profusely.‘’You will survive this, I promise.’’ I heard my wolf say to me.‘’Good morning, father.’’ I greeted, not knowing the right thing to do anymore.An omega handed me his iPad to watch the video one more time and I fought the urge to cringe, the comments alone was enough to make me commit suicide.Luckily for me, everybody was in their various classrooms when I left school or else, I would have had the walk of shame.Before I could utter a word in my defense,
