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

Avery's POV "Oh my freaking God. Can't you get it? Nothing happened, and nothing will happen. If you think that Jameson and I could ever be something, then I'll advise that you should think again!" I said, already pissed, but unfortunately, Amelia didn't care."I know that you're keeping something from me, but let's just see how long you would be able to keep it from me," she said, causing me to arch my brows.I just rolled my eyes, deciding not to pay any heed to what she said."You think I'll lie to you? It's the simple truth," Amelia added."I don't care. Right now, I'm hungry," I said, placing my hand on my stomach."Okay then, get dressed; let's go and get food at Reflex," Amelia said, causing me to smile. This was the only good thing that Amelia has said since we woke up."Thank goodness. You're finally saying something," I muttered.I quickly put something on because after having my bath last night, I just wore my undies, and that was all.Now, after putting on my dress, I said

Avery's POV "You've got that right!" Amelia said. I rolled my eyes because in truth, the reason why I wanted to go was because Flair was going to be there. Maybe this was my chance for him to finally notice me. I really needed him to be around me.A crooked smile appeared on my face as I stretched my hand forward to reach for the water.Jameson passed it to me. "I didn't ask you for any help! Did I? Please learn to keep your hands to yourself," I said in a low voice."Okay," Jameson said and took his hand up, signaling that he was going to leave me alone."You know what? See you later, love," he said, causing me to feel irritated before he left."That was too harsh. What's the matter? You seem really bitter," Amelia said."Why do you seem shocked? I mean, it's totally normal. It's not like I like him," I said, causing Amelia to lean closer. I thought that she wanted to tease me, but she ended up saying,"If you say so."After eating, I suggested that we go back to our dorms, but Ameli

Avery's POV"Give me a minute, please," Amelia said, causing me to pause for a second."A minute for what? You freaking left the bathroom after me! What do you need more time to do to?" I asked."Hey, I need to look good, okay? I'm not like you, who spend a minute to get ready. I'm more girly than you think," she said, causing me to laugh."Whatever." I rolled my eyes before sitting on the bed, going through my phone. I saw that I haven't responded to Jameson's message yet."Okay, I'm done getting ready." She caught my attention."Finally," I said before getting to my feet. Stretching my hands and legs, I straightened my dress and said in a low voice,"We should leave. What are you still doing?" I asked."I'm making sure that I look extraordinarily beautiful in the mirror," she said, causing me to smile, making sure that the smile on my face was broad."You can't oppress me with that pretty face of yours. I mean, I'm pretty too," I said.She rolled her eyes and walked towards the door

Avery's POV"Please excuse me," I said, excusing myself from the table to the restroom, taking my bag with me."Okay, hon," Amelia said. She didn't even turn to gaze at me. It was funny how she pretended like she didn't have any feelings for Flair because she didn't want me to know.I briskly walked towards the bathroom and opened the door abruptly before standing in front of it.Gazing at my reflection in the mirror, I gritted my teeth in anger."How can my best friend not tell me about her love interest with Flair? Wait, that shouldn't even be the question! Why would my best friend fall in love with my crush?" I asked myself while gazing at the mirror.I heard the toilet flush, and my eyes immediately widened in shock. "Oh my God, there's someone here," I whispered to myself before running into the empty toilet to hide there because I didn't want the person in the restroom with me to see me.After the person left, I finally had the courage to step out of the restroom."That was clos

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
