19. Don't Fucking Test Me, Avery

2024-09-07 00:05:30Avery’s POV
"Of course, by 'terms' I meant terms of punishment, because your slave here disrespected me," Andrew's voice dripped with condescension, each word carefully crafted to twist the knife deeper. I stood there, gaping at him in stunned silence. He had been openly extorting me for a kiss, leveraging the threat of punishment which I feared—deeply and viscerally. Against every instinct screaming inside me, I had been moments away from capitulating, only to find myself now falsely accused of a defiance I hadn't even dared to voice. Liam's gaze, icy and penetrating, shifted onto me, and I felt a shiver of dread ripple through me. "Disrespected you how?" he demanded, his tone sharp as flint. "She told me to go to hell," Andrew replied with a casual ease that belied the gravity of his accusation. As he spoke, he sent me a quick wink, a secret little signal that went unnoticed by Liam, who was too absorbed in his scrutiny of me.Related chapters
Enslaved to The Alpha: Torn Between Love and Hate 20. Why The Sudden Change of Heart?
Avery’s POVHe paced relentlessly, a caged predator in his own right, each stride echoing ominously across the room. For a solid five minutes, he avoided any connection with my eyes, his gaze fixed on some unseen point in the distance. Rooted to my spot, I felt like a small creature under the scrutiny of a wild animal; any sudden move from me might just unleash the storm brewing within him.Abruptly, his pacing ceased. He planted himself firmly in front of me, his features set in a mask of icy detachment. "You will be locked in this room until tomorrow," he declared, his voice cold and unyielding as steel. "You will be quiet and stay inside the whole time without a sound."His words struck me, leaving me momentarily breathless, too stunned to form a coherent response. Locked in a room for twelve hours? That was the extent of his punishment? It seemed almost too benign, suspiciously simple, and devoid of the pain I had braced myself to confront.Sile

Avery’s POVHours had passed, each minute stretching endlessly as I paced back and forth across the dimly lit room. My muscles were knots of tension, cramping painfully from the relentless motion and the iron grip I maintained on the copper candlestick I had snatched from Liam's nightstand. It felt cold and heavy in my hands, a makeshift weapon against an unknown threat.I was on edge, every nerve alight with the anticipation of danger. I half-expected the door to burst open at any moment, the bearer of that ominous note finally coming to fulfill their grim promise.The silver cuffs around my wrists were a constant torment. They dug cruelly into my skin, drawing blood that trickled down my arms now. Each movement sent fresh waves of stinging pain shooting through me. The wolfsbane in my system was a cruel tormentor, its poison seeping into my veins like acid, making my head swim and my stomach churn. Tears streaked down my face, the culmination of stress and fear finally breaking thro

Liam’s POVMy hand hung in the air, waiting expectantly for the note she had hinted at earlier. As I lifted my arm towards her, I heard her heartbeat quicken, her chest rising and falling rapidly with the fear that my gesture incited. The sight cut through me, a sharp pang of pain at her instinctive terror.Despite the fear shadowing her eyes, she continued to challenge me with her words, her defiance unyielding. It was perplexing—her relentless audacity to speak her mind so freely. Each word she uttered was a test, pushing the boundaries of my patience. I found myself caught between admiration for her snarky resilience and frustration at her blatant disregard for the consequences she might face.With a tremulous breath, she finally pulled out a small piece of paper from her pocket and handed it over. My fingers brushed against hers as I took it, feeling the slight tremor of her hand. Unfolding the note, I read the few words scrawled across it, each one a blatant provocation. My bl

Avery’s POVSeveral quiet days drifted by, marked by a surprising absence of incidents, pain, or punishment. The oppressive presence of Wolfsbane had finally vacated my system. Clarity returned to my mind, the constant ache in my body subsided, and my wounds—those visible reminders of past torments—had fully healed.Each day unfolded with the same monotonous rhythm. I worked tirelessly in the kitchen from the early morning light until the shadows of evening stretched long and dark. Night after night, Liam himself would escort me from the clatter of pots and the warm kitchen smells back to the solitude of his bedroom after his familial dinners. Thankfully, I managed to avoid running into his father or brother during these transitions. Their absence was a small mercy, for each encounter with them was like brushing against a dark cloud of malevolence.Liam and I existed in a strange bubble of mutual disinterest.

Avery’s POVTrue to his chilling promise, the echo of Liam’s footsteps had barely faded when his so-called 'loyal' men appeared. Two hearts beat steadily outside the locked door—ominous drumbeats to my impending fate.They stood in silence, sentinels of doom, merely waiting for the moment to act. Their presence was palpable, a heavy weight in the air, even through the barrier that separated us.In the stifling quiet of the room, I lay on his bed, pulling his pillow close. I inhaled deeply, the scent of him—intoxicating and painfully sweet—lingering in the fabric. It was pathetic, perhaps, but I clung to the aroma of the man who haunted both my dreams and nightmares. It was all I had left of the Liam I once knew, a feeble balm for the raw edges of my shredded heart.An hour ticked by—slow, inexorable minutes that stretched into an eternity of waiting. Then, Andrew's voice shattered the silence, sharp and commanding. "Lea

Avery’s POV"So let's say, just for argument's sake, that I believe you. What exactly were you rescuing me from?" I asked, my voice low and steady, attempting to mask the uncertainty that fluttered like a caged bird within my chest."If I told you... I'd have to kill you," he replied, the sarcasm in his voice thick enough to cut through the chilled air between us."Touché," I retorted sharply. "And what's stopping me from mindlinking your brother?" My challenge hung heavy, a tangible force in the growing tension.His expression shifted, a flicker of intrigue crossing his features as he stepped closer, closing the distance between us with a single, deliberate movement. I fought every instinct telling me to retreat, to maintain distance, as he leaned in, his breath faintly sweet with the scent of vanilla, whispering intensely, "Am I hurting you, Avery?"His proximity was overwhelming, his scent enveloping me, so fierce it invaded all my senses. For a moment, I was rendered speechless, m

Avery’s POV"Are you trying to get me into trouble?" I asked, my gaze sharpening into a narrow slit, suspicion threading through my voice. It seemed implausible, his sudden generosity, as if the darkness in his heart had suddenly turned altruistic."Letting me shift and run around only to snatch me back, claiming I was trying to escape the pack?" I threw the words at him like accusations, waiting to see how he'd maneuver around them.His response was a grin that unfurled slowly across his face, amusement sparkling in his eyes. “That’s an overactive imagination you’ve got. Ever think about writing thriller novels?” he teased, his tone light but not diminishing the seriousness of my concern."I do not trust you, Andrew," I declared, the formality of titles slipping away unnoticed—or perhaps inconsequentially—as he let the conversation flow.

Avery’s POVI hadn't known what to expect from this impulsive leap, but the last thing I imagined was enjoying our kiss so much, or getting utterly lost in the sudden, intense surge of emotions it sparked within me.I melted into him, my body quivering slightly with pleasure from the delicious sensation of his lips pressed against mine.

Enslaved to The Alpha: Torn Between Love and Hate 30. Don't Fight It
Liam’s POVI lost all semblance of control. The floodgates burst open, irreparably so, because of her. She, who wrenched open a chasm within me that could never again be sealed. From the moment she re-entered my life, the cracks began to spread—each pained glance, each subdued whimper, each involuntary flinch, each shadow of fear she cast, gnawed at the edges of my composure. I fought desperately to shore up the breaches, erecting frail pillars of resolve to stave off the inevitable collapse. Yet, all my efforts crumbled to dust the moment I witnessed her lips press against my brother’s in a kiss laden with the unmistakable sweetness of falling in love.In that instant, I plunged into the depths of my own despair, a torrential downpour flooding my senses, submerging me. I thrashed wildly, struggling to breathe, to surface, but the water was unyielding. Suffocating. And she—she seemed to bask in my torment, flaunting her newfound affection not on

Avery’s POVWhen I remained frozen, rooted to the spot by a mix of fear and defiance, his grip on my collar tightened abruptly. The sudden pressure stole the breath from my lungs, forcing a sharp gasp to escape my lips. His eyes, cold and unyielding, bore into me as he leaned in closer, his voice a venomous whisper that left no room for disobedience. “You better not make me repeat my orders everytime, Slave. Strip. All your clothes off. Now.”His words hung heavy in the air, an ultimatum that echoed ominously in the small, stark room, reinforcing the gravity of my situation. His demeanor was unrelenting, his authority absolute, and in that moment, the reality of my powerlessness crystallized painfully within me.What was he planning next? The question gnawed at me, but I knew better than to voice it; his answers were never straightforward.He released his grip abruptly and stepped back, his eyes alight with a fiery menace that promised p

Avery’s POVI moved with cautious steps, acutely aware of the tension thickening the air between us. Uncertainty clouded my thoughts—I wasn't sure what churned in his mind, or how deep his anger might run after discovering me in a stolen kiss with his brother. My choice had been my own, free and deliberate, but now, as we stood locked away in his bedroom, silence was my only refuge. He paced the room, a relentless predator in his own domain, casting not even a fleeting glance my way. One hundred and sixty seconds felt like an eternity in that charged stillness.A knot of fear tightened in my chest, fear of what he might do next, what harsh words might fall from his lips. The possibility of being wounded again, either by his actions or his words, loomed over me. Yet, beneath that fear, a stubborn determination took root. I needed to understand his true feelings, to see the heart of the man I once knew.Was I truly nothing more to him than a despised slave, a breaker of his heart, a
