FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE Chapter 23
Jameson's POV After taking Avery's number from Flair, I texted her, but she didn't respond immediately. After hours, while I was still awake because I had barely gotten any sleep, she responded to my text, and we walked until I was ready for the impromptu class of the day. Pulling up in front of her house, she looked like a goddess. Her dress was awesome, and the way she stood with her hands in front of her gave me the chills.She hopped into the car, and we then had a brief conversation.Conversation? More like a brief argument. It went on for a few minutes before the car suddenly fell silent. I decided not to give her a hard time; maybe she mistook my attention for bullying. My father sponsors her fees, but there was something that Avery wasn't aware of. She believed that the reason why the Alpha sponsors her tuition is because of her grades. Unbeknownst to her, hundreds of students have good grades from prestigious schools, yet the Alpha didn’t consider them worthy of his schol

Avery's POVThe silence was awkward. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad that Jameson had his eyes fixed on the road without having any thought to bully me.I decided to plug in some headphones, thinking that listening to music would be enough for me not to feel the awkwardness.Just after plugging in the headphones, it didn't take long before I got tired of my playlist. I think it was high time I updated my music collection. Most times, it could be tiring listening to one particular track of music over and over again.After unplugging the headphones, I said without thinking, "Why do you even care about going to this class? Isn't your father the Alpha? I'm sure with or without you going to classes, you will surely be able to pass your grades well."Jameson turned to me, his brows twitching in anger. Was that a wrong thing to say? Shouldn't I have thought before saying something as unreasonable as that? Oh wait, is it unreasonable? Why isn't he saying anything?Millions of thought

Avery's pov Nothing sounded bad with going on a date with him and like he said, it was only to make it up to me."It doesn't sound bad," I responded causing Jameson to smile. I noticed that he was specially happy although he tried to hide it.Soon, we arrived at the school premises. At the beginning of the rude, I desperately wanted the ride to come to an end quickly but after I started getting a little comfortable, I didn't want the ride to end. In fact, I was specially enjoying it."No, hold on," Jameson said, offering to open the door for me but I hissed and opened the door for myself."So you can mock me later by saying I don't have arms? I don't want that," I said, still trying to tease him at the same time.In truth, my eyes fell on the people that surrounded us, I mostly didn't want them to see Jameson hold out the door for me and start asking me millions of questions."Hey, I wouldn't say that!" Jameson said but I marrowed my eyes and quickly walked passed him, still giving

Avery's pov "Nothing, I'm fine," I lied.Because of what she has said and also because of what Jameson had saud in the car, it started to make me reflect on all my actions."Hmm, are you sure?" Amelia asked."Well, I think I just need some sleep and nothing more," I responded nonchalantly."Okay," Amelia said curtly.After I moved my clothes inti the wardrobe and arranged my things, I fell to the bed, feeling completely weak.After closing my eyes, I fell asleep immediately only to wake up to see that it was evening.My eyes remained close until my phone began to ring. I had no plan whatsoever to get to my feet. In fact, I enjoyed the solace that I had attained from the sleep."Won't you check your phone? It's been beeping for hours now," Amelia's voice fell into my ear.I got to my feet, deciding to go and check it out.Stretching my hands, I sluggishly got to my feet before walking towards the couch where I had tossed my phone."Jameson," I mentioned the name my eyes fell on, on my

Avery's POVBeep!I suddenly received another text, "I'm here now." I read the text, and just then, I heard a knock on my door. I quickly turned to Amelia, knowing exactly who was standing outside the door."Why do you look excited? You clearly told me that you're not even interested in this, and I shouldn't call this a date, right?" Amelia said, intentionally wanting to pick on me."What? You're lying, I don't look excited," I said before walking away from her."If you say so," she responded."Just have fun," she added, waving to signal that it was time for me to go and answer the knock on the door.I didn't know why I was nervous. For one, I didn't think that I would be flattered by anything that Jameson showed me.I'm sure this is the Moon Goddess trying to play with me because, hell! I don't like him!I opened the door and wasn't surprised to see him. I flashed a smile at him, and he stretched his hand forward, taking my hand."I'm glad you didn't bail out at the last minute. Whe

Avery's POVWe got to the restaurant—it was Reflex, one of the best spots around the school.Jameson pulled out a chair for me to sit. "You look extraordinarily beautiful today, you know that, right?" he said."So you mean to say that I don't look beautiful every time?" I asked."Well, I don't always look at you," he lied.I laughed and was about to speak, but he raised a finger, signaling that I shouldn't say anything."I know what you want to say! You want to say that I'm lying, right? Maybe you caught me a few times, but I only stare at beautiful people."I didn’t know why I blushed, but I immediately felt embarrassed. I didn’t want him to see me reacting to his words.The waiter came and took our orders. For some time, we made light conversation, and Jameson didn’t really seem so bad to talk to. He had a playful aura that was... charming.Who would have thought that I would sit with Jameson Alexandro for dinner?I could even bet my life that a day like this wouldn’t come."So tell

Avery's POV"You know what I think? We should end the discussion about Flair and mate stuff. I liked when the conversation was light," I said when he didn't respond after asking what's wrong."Yeah, you're right." He immediately gestured for the waiter to walk over where we sat."What's our bill?" he asked.The waiter gave him the bill, and Jameson paid for the food before saying, "Do you want to head somewhere? Probably somewhere quiet," he said.I agreed by nodding my head.He stood from the chair and took my hand before heading out of the restaurant."Where are we going?"Is it far?" I asked. I was literally trying to meet up with his pace."It's just a few blocks away, just trust me," he said.We finally got to a pub, and he paid the man in charge to let us in."Wait a minute, you said that we were going somewhere quiet, what happened?" I asked."Trust me, will you?" he asked."Okay," I responded."Wait here for me," he said, but I shook my head, refusing to stay there and wait fo

Avery's POV He took my hand, noticing that I couldn't match up with his pace.He stopped for a second and picked me up from the ground, running towards the direction of the sea."Ohh... Jameson. Stop it already," I said, giggling and laughing at the same time."Stop what? I want to carry you, Avery. Will you refuse the alpha of that?" Jameson asked, and I narrowed my eyes.After a lot of protesting, he dropped me down. I bit my lips and straightened my dress."Thank you!" I said with an accent.I stood there and watched the sea waves; I was mesmerized. I couldn't stop laughing and grinning at the same time."What's so funny that you can't stop laughing about?" Jameson asked."You asked earlier if I'll refuse the Alpha of carrying me." I paused and laughed."And? What's so funny in that?" He inquired."You're not yet the Alpha of the park yet; you should wait for your time before you start bragging with the title," I warned, causing Jameson to burst into laughter."You really didn't n

Noah stood beside me, his body tense but composed. Across from us, Dominic checked his gun, his expression unreadable.Raven’s voice crackled through the comms. “Security is heavier than expected. She knows something’s coming.”Dominic didn’t flinch. “Doesn’t matter.”He motioned for his men to move.I exhaled slowly, steadying myself.And then, we went in.---The first thing that hit me was the smell.Oil. Dust. Gunpowder.The warehouse was massive, stretching into darkness, illuminated only by flickering industrial lights overhead. Crates were stacked high, some sealed, others cracked open to reveal weapons, cash, documents.Lisa had been preparing for war.And we had just walked straight into it.A guard rounded the corner, rifle raised.Noah moved before I could react.A single shot. The man crumpled.No hesitation. No wasted movement.The others followed. Dominic’s team swept through the warehouse like a shadow, taking down guards with brutal efficiency.We advanced quickly, clea

The city never slept, but for once, I wished it would.I sat by the window, watching headlights streak past on the rain-slicked streets below. The low hum of traffic and the distant wail of sirens blended together, forming an eerie symphony that filled the silence in my head.Behind me, Noah was still asleep.His breathing was slow and steady, the rise and fall of his chest almost hypnotic. He hadn’t gotten real rest in days—none of us had—but exhaustion had finally caught up to him. I knew he needed the sleep.And yet, I couldn’t close my eyes.I reached for the passport again, flipping it open under the dim glow of the city lights.A new name. A new identity.A way out.Dominic had left it for me before disappearing into the night, his expression unreadable as he’d placed it on the table between us.“No strings. No pressure. If you want to disappear, I’ll make sure no one finds you.”No one.Not Lisa. Not her people. Not even Noah.The thought sent a hollow ache through my chest.I s

Avery’s POVThe weight of it all didn’t hit me until I stepped outside.The cool night air rushed against my face, mixing with the distant scent of smoke and gunpowder. The mansion—Lisa’s fortress—was a mess of flashing red and blue lights, agents moving in and out like a swarm.Lisa Monroe was in custody.It was over.I wanted to feel relief. I wanted to let out the breath I’d been holding for what felt like years.But all I felt was exhaustion.“Avery!”I turned just in time to see Noah pushing through the crowd, eyes wild with panic.Before I could say a word, his hands were on my face, his touch firm but careful, like he was checking to make sure I was real.“You’re bleeding.” His voice was sharp, urgent.I blinked, and that’s when I felt it. The dull ache in my shoulder had sharpened into something burning and raw. The bullet wound.“I’m fine,” I managed, even as my knees threatened to buckle.Noah didn’t believe me for a second.His arm wrapped around my waist, holding me upright

Avery’s POVThe gunshot cracked through the hallway, sharp and deafening.Instinct took over.I dove to the side, barely registering the blur of motion as Noah grabbed my arm and yanked me behind cover. The bullet struck the wall where I had been standing a second ago, sending a spray of plaster into the air."Move!" Dominic barked, already drawing his own weapon.Noah shoved me behind a marble pillar, pressing his back against it as Lisa took another shot. The bullet embedded itself in the wood of a nearby door.I gasped for breath, my pulse hammering. Lisa’s footsteps clicked against the floor as she advanced, slow and deliberate."You never should have come here," she called out, her voice eerily calm. "You had your chance to walk away."Noah shot me a look—silent communication. He was going to flank her.I nodded, gripping my pistol so tightly my fingers ached. My whole body was screaming at me to run, to escape, but I forced the fear down.Not this time.Lisa had hunted me for to

Avery’s POVThe night dragged on in silence, thick and suffocating. Sleep wasn’t an option, not when my mind wouldn’t stop racing. Lisa was out there, hunting us. We had barely escaped the warehouse, and now we were holed up in a safe house that felt more like a waiting room before a battle.I sat by the cracked window, watching the city beyond the darkness. A few flickering streetlights cast long, distorted shadows across the empty road. The world kept moving, oblivious to the war we were about to start.Behind me, the soft click of a keyboard filled the room. Raven was still working, hunched over her laptop, eyes flickering across the multiple screens in front of her. Dominic had disappeared into one of the back rooms, probably getting whatever sleep he could manage. Noah was standing near the doorway, arms crossed, his entire body rigid with tension.“We should be doing more,” he muttered, barely loud enough for me to hear.I turned to him. “Raven’s doing everything she can. We hav

Avery’s POVThe tension in the air turned thicker as it pressed against me while we moved through the alley way. The sound of our footsteps against the wet pavement was an indelible reminder of how exposed we were. Every threat is in form of shadow, each sound outside seems to promise danger.I kept my head down, fingers wrapped tightly around the strap of my bag. Noah walked beside me, scanning the surroundings with his eyes, muscles tense under the coat. Caught behind were Dominic moving as carefully as we were, presence that stood silently as his assurance. Raven had given us a safe house, which it turned out was across the city and far from where we could get caught before reaching. "We need a car," Dominic muttered with his voice barely above a whisper.Noah gave a sharp nod. "We can't risk public transport. Lisa's people will be watching every terminal, every bus station." Swallow hard-groomed nervously, trying not to let it win me. Only hours before, the explosion at the ware

Avery’s POVLisa grunted as we fell down, her haggard hair disarrayed in perfect arrangements; her face sculping great twists of frustration. I didn't allow her even a second of respite. I straddled her, took the front of her pricey silk blouse and slammed her head against the marble floor.She gasped, but I could barely hear it over the chaos that erupted around us. Gunfire cracked through the air, and Dominic's deep curses mixed with the sharp clicks of Raven's tech. Noah was shouting my name, but I couldn't focus on him right now.To put it another way, Lisa has been tearing my life apart over many years. If I did not end this thing now, she would never stop.She recovered quickly, raising her knee into my ribs to knock the breath from my lungs. I rolled away instantly to just slide out of the way of her next attack when she lunged at me.Well, she was not some pampered socialite-she was trained and ready for situations like this. Her punches are controlled, deliberate, but mine ar

Avery’s POVThe alarms screamed so loud, they had me rattling through my bones. Red warning lights flashed on in the estate halls, sending spooky shadows down the marble floors. My heart hammered in my ears as Raven seized my wrist and pulled me across a tall display cabinet, just before a couple of guards sped past."They know we're here," came Raven's angry whisper, tightening her fingers on my arm. "We've got to move." I swallowed. I nodded. There was no time to digest what we had just heard in that meeting room-the cold, calculating voice of Lisa, condemning me like another obstacle in her way. The weight was heavy on my chest, but there was no way fear would help me. Action would.Outside were Noah and Dominic. If the alarm had reached them, they surely were racing to get to us. Or were they? I turned to Raven. "What's the exit plan?" Her gaze flicked across the hallway, darting from door to door. "We have to make it to the southern wing; that's where the utility tunnel is-it

Avery's POV The SUV sped through the darkened roads, a whiff of burnt rubber still hanging in the air. The sound of gunfire had finally faded away behind us, while inside the vehicle, the tension was all-consuming. Nobody said anything, but the unspoken truth was palpable—we had barely managed to escape, and Lisa would not let us go that easily.I leaned my head against the cool window, while my body rattled with tremors from blood loss and an adrenaline crash. Every now and again, I would slip in and out of consciousness as Noah clutched me tighter into him to keep me propped upright. His face hard with concern. He held my hand as though he were afraid to let go, his eyes on my face."Stay with me," he said roughly.Dominic was still gripping the gun in the front seat, still glancing intently between the side mirror and the road ahead. "How bad is she?"Noah bit out, "She needs a hospital. She's losing too much blood."I tried to speak, to soothe them, to say I was okay, but my tong
