~Avery~
As I stared at our reflection in the mirror, I saw two opposite reaction, Ashely had a pleased, surprised look as she admired her masterpiece while I was shocked to the stupor because I could recognize myself, I was entirely a different person, she did not do much makeup on my face, just mascara, lip gloss and eye liner but the bun was super tight that I was scared of head ache but it gave my slanted eyes, more effect then, the gown, let us not even go there, they were all slutty, she had to pick the gown that was not that bad after she got several refusal from me.
Even though that I liked my new look of a high school queen, deep down, I was scared of how he would react, he might not care but I did not want him to insult me, I would not be able to stand it, I would burst into tears.
‘’Gosh, Avery, if I was a guy, I would fuck you right now.’’ She complimented.
The gown was a pink bod
~Avery~Luckily for me, I did not see him throughout my classes, I was beginning to wonder if he was present at school at all, well, he was the Lycan’s son, maybe, his father needed him for work, I was about to head to my locker since it was lunch time when I saw a paper on my table, it was calling me to open it due to curiosity, I did and it read; ‘’Hey, beautiful. You are looking hot today, care to meet me at the janitor’s closet?’’I could not place my head on who wrote it, a small part of me kept screaming that it might be Alex but I did not believe, he could not start complimenting me overnight, it was not possible, not in this life or next, I also wanted to find out who it was, I walked out with a wide grin on my face with the thought of someone liking me, as I walked, my breast was bouncing and it caught people’s attention, I had to slow down a bit.I thought agains
~Alexander~I was absent at school because my father sent for me, my coronation was going to be the following night and he needed to give me his fatherly advice and also, for me to check out the decoration, I had to make sure that nobody found out that Avery and I were mates, yes, it was a huge offence to have your coronation without inviting your mate but I did not care, her presence irked me, I wanted a strong and fierce Luna, until, she becomes that, I am not going to accept her, not even if my parents forces me to.‘’Are you sure about that? Your mother could mind control you into accepting her and your father could dethrone you until you took her in as your Luna.’’ Kyle, my wolf pointed out.I hated to admit but he was damn right, that was the more reason, nobody had to know about our secret.‘’Instead of waiting for the poor girl to become strong overnight, you could show
~Avery~He slammed the door hard and I flinched in fear, my heart was racing so fast as I saw that his eye color had turned to pitch black, I could not understand why he was so angry, I mean, did he not like the idea of me dressing hot to school?I thought that would get him intrigued, it did anyways but in the bad way, I should not have dressed like a slut today, I would not have been in this mess, if my father mistakenly caught me in such dress, he would scold me and even, send me back to that horrible pack house with the claim that I have become wayward in less than 48 hours.I was pinned against the door and he placed his hand on it, he squinted his eyes on me and my breathing got heavy, ‘’Can you explain to me, why you are dressed like a hooker?!’’I could not find a reply, I began stuttering, ‘’I-um-uh-I di-did no-not have any other clot-clothes to we-wear.’’
~Avery~Ever since I got back from my classes, I had been in Ashley’s room as I did not want to go back to mine just yet, I was not ready for emotional or physical torture, I literally had nowhere to run to, it was better here since it was just him and his mate that were treating this way unlike my entire pack against me, I had no choice than to endure, my life would have been so much easier if Ashley was chosen to be my roommate instead of him.It was like I was in a nightmare that I would never have the chance of waking up from, I really hated my life, she assured me that I was always welcome to sleepover in her room anytime but I did not want to bug her or her roommate.I walked back lazily to my room, hoping that Alison would not be there, all I wanted to do was have a shower and sleep, so, I could fantasize how my life would be if it was the opposite of reality.As I was about to open the do
~Avery~We began giggling as we ran when we successfully got out of school, we slowed down to catch our breath when we were out of sight, I could not stop looking around to make sure that nobody was around us, she seemed unphased like she was not experiencing any bit of fear at all.‘’It was fun escaping school.’’ I asserted.‘’I know, right? It was so easy, get ready for the sweetest part of this adventure, want to race?’’ She inquired.My eyes widened and I started fidgeting when I realized that she was referring to us shifting into our wolf form, I had not been able to summon courage to tell her that I was unable to shift.‘’I think that is a bad idea.’’ I pointed out, trying as much as possible for my voice not to sound shaky.She scrunched her brows in confusion and inquired, ‘’Why?’’‘&rsq
~Avery~I prayed silently to the goddess that Ashley would be okay, he informed his mother of the situation and she instantly rushed to her room with her portions, the amount of blood that she had lost was not even helping the situation, she was not healing at all, this whole time, her mother has been scolding her, for some reason, she was not that tensed, maybe, she had dealt with such situation countless time, he did not utter a word at all to me or his sister, we just watched as she mixed her portions with her some herbs and chanted incantations before applying it on the wounds.Ashley immediately winced in pain in reaction, I shut my eyes and tried not to imagine the pains that she must have been going through.‘’Don’t you dare, I do not want to hear that voice of yours, what exactly were you thinking?! Going outside there with the new student, her father kept her here because he knew that it was a safe place for
~Avery~I could not wait for school to be over, so, I could check up on Ashley to see how she was doing, classes were boring without her and during lunch, it was even worse, I was lonely because I had no other friend aside her, I was already preparing myself for the peace that I would have tonight since it was his coronation, everybody would be having fun and I will be up all night watching a movie or something.I lazily walked to where my locker was situated, I had one more class for the day before closing and I was kind of happy about it, at least, he had not bullied me neither has his girlfriend pranked me.I heard snickering from some girls but when I turned around, I could not find anybody, I shrugged my shoulder and unlocked my locker.I was immediately hit by a lot of bats that flew it out of it, I screamed at the top of my voice before I fell to the ground, the giggles increased and the three witches appeared befo
~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
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,
