Noah’s POVI woke up to the sound of Avery pacing. Her steps were light but restless, echoing faintly in the quiet cabin. I opened my eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was just past 4 a.m. The sky outside was still cloaked in darkness, but the faintest traces of dawn were beginning to bleed into the horizon.“Avery,” I said, my voice groggy. She stopped in her tracks and turned toward me, her face illuminated by the soft glow of the wood-burning stove.“Did I wake you?” she asked, guilt written all over her expression.“No,” I lied, sitting up and running a hand through my hair. “What’s wrong?”She hesitated, hugging her arms to her chest. “I couldn’t sleep. I keep thinking… what if we’re wasting time sitting here? What if Lisa’s already moving against us?”I stood and crossed the room to her, placing a steady hand on her shoulder. “We’re not wasting time. We’re regrouping, preparing. If we rush in without a plan, we’ll be playing right into her hands.”Avery nodded, but I

Avery’s POVThe weight of Dimitri’s words sat heavy in the room even after he left. Noah had escorted him out, scanning the woods as if expecting Lisa’s mercenaries to materialize out of thin air. When he returned, his face was set like stone, his jaw tight.“Noah,” I started, unsure of what to even say. “Do you really think Lisa will find us here?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he placed his gun on the table and ran a hand through his hair, his frustration evident. “I don’t know, Avery. But we can’t take any chances.”I hated this feeling—the constant fear, the anticipation of the worst. It felt like Lisa’s shadow was looming over us, always one step closer no matter what we did.“We need to leave, don’t we?” I asked softly.Noah sighed and leaned against the table. “Yes. Dimitri’s warning wasn’t for nothing. If Lisa has people sniffing around, it’s only a matter of time before someone points her in our direction. We’ll pack up and move at dawn.”I nodded, even though my ches

Avery's POV“Hi, thanks for coming,” I acknowledged, smiling at Flair. He looked really handsome, his black tuxedo portrays dominance around him.“You're welcome. You look beautiful by the way,” he complimented. He is the beta’s son, Jameson’s best friend. Who is the Alpha's son.They are totally opposite when it comes to personality. Flair is a nice and an easy going person, unlike his best friend. Who is bent on annoying me. If there is one person I hated to my bones, that would be Jameson Alexandro. He is not only rude, but also a bully and a pervert.It all began when my Dad enrolled me into the college to discover my abilities as a wolf, about three years ago. I was just fifteen then. He has always been on my neck after I fiercely had a fight with him. He wanted all students to kneel and bow at his feet because he was the Alpha's son. Really? Definitely not me.Tonight was my birthday party, still can't believe that I'm freaking eighteen!“So, were are you able to get my phone

Your Battle Is MineJameson’s POVTwo Weeks Later.“Can I come in?” I looked behind me, I found Flair at the door.“You are in already. What's the need of asking for my permission?” I questioned in a lazy tone. Continuing with my assignment on my desk.He walked in and rested on the wall in front of me. He didn't say anything and I ignored him completely.“Won't you try chasing after her?” He asked after a long silence. I paused in what I was doing, my grip tightened on my pen.I took in a deep breath and continued with what I was busy with. I didn't say anything after that and I knew he was waiting for my response.“Jameson, are you just gonna give up like that?”“Tell me what to do!” I slammed my pen on the table. He continued looking down at me and the pains I felt that night rushed through my veins.It really hurts.I closed my eyes, the image of her teary eyes replayed in my head. She didn't even hesitate to reject me at all.‘Only if you haven't been an asshole around her!’ my w

Avery's POV I bit my lips anxiously as I walked to my desk. Amelia pulled me back and I turned to her.“You don't have to meet their gazes. Just avoid them, I will be watching from my seat,” she assured and I smiled. Everyone has been gossiping about what happened at my birthday party.Low-key, I was kinda regretting my decision. I settled on my seat and brought out my books. Shutting all my guts that was telling me to steal a glance at him. His scent was getting into my head, as if it was making me high.Well, I was prepared for that.I brought out a nose mask and put it on now. People were looking at me suspiciously. I could only face-palm inwardly.How can you be staring at someone and make it so obvious? I shook my head and sighed. The teacher walked in after a while and the class began.To be honest, my mind was far away from what he was teaching us. It has been two weeks since Jameson was last seen in school, because of Anna, my wolf, Jameson kept replaying in my head.I could

Avery's POVA Few Days Later.“Are we all set?!”“Yes, sir!” We all responded to our supervisor, Mr. Larry. I looked around the thick forest, and couldn't help but feel this anxiety building up in my chest.Today was the day we were all set for the treasure hunt. We all stood in pairs assembly, listening to Mr. Larry who was giving us instructions.My mind was far away, everyone was excited about this hunt except from me. The reason was that I have a very weak wolf which means that I haven't shifted my whole life and won't be able to shift in time of danger in the forest.Anna has only spoken to me once and it was as if that moment suck away all her energy, because after that day, she has been resting and I could only feel her presence once in a while.I turned to look at Jameson, who was jotting down some clues to finding the treasure Mr. Larry was tipping us about.“And that will be all. Does anyone have a question?” Mr. Larry asked. Jameson's eyes found mine, I instantly looked awa

Avery's POVNIGHT FELL.“Do you want some water?” I turned weakly at Jameson. I was seated in front of the fire he had created, wrapped with my blanket to keep me warm.I nodded weakly but without collecting the water bottle from him.“I don't want to remove my hands. Can you please feed it to me?” I pleaded, not wanting to remove my hands that were under the blanket.He sighed soundly before crouching, he held my jaw with his index finger and I drank from the bottle.This little contact sparked some emotions within me and I knew it was the same for him. After I was done, he didn't say anything and also sat beside me.“Thanks,”“It's nothing,” he responded without looking at me. I bit my lips nervously for what I was about to say.Clearing my throat, I did that to get his attention.“A-About earlier, I'm sure that I wasn't hallucinating and….”“Why didn't I see her then?” He cut me off, turning to face me. This made me swallowed the rest of my words. The bond was making it hard for me

Avery’s POVAs the trees enveloped us again in the forest, the air wrapped cooler around us. The heat from our previous disagreement was still in my chest making my heart ache, not that I would dare say so. Because Jameson was stomping beside me with stiff limbs and shoulders, as if each step he took was a protest at the uncomfortable ceasefire we had just negotiated.I saw the slightest flash of irritation on his face when I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye without turning fully to him, but it was gone as quickly as it had sprung up. Normally, he was so stoic, so detached. It annoyed me.I bit the insides of my cheeks slowly so as to not send my mind back toward the harsh words we had exchanged just moments before. I held tightly to the strap of my backpack as we walked further into the woods. The trees on either side of the narrow route stood as though the sentinels, their gnarled limbs reaching out as if to snare us. My body shivered as the fragrance of decayed foliag

Avery’s POVIn the morning when the sun filtered in through the thick curtains and lit up small room with soft golden light. Sweet but the heat in my palms distracted me from the never ending cycle on thoughts busy inside my brain.Noah was by the window looking for movement in the treeline, he hadn't said much since we got here last night but the mere fact that he was there put me a little more at ease even as the edge of sanity started to get gnawed open.“Trouble?” I sounded, my voice piercing what little silence there was.“Nope – but again, not in the morning. Still it does not stop it from arriving.I swallowed hard and looked at the opaque in my mug “Do you think they are already hunting her?”“Never did,” Noah said eventually turning to me. But his eyes were so very tired “Lisa does not hang up.“And what does she want?” I pressed, this time confident with my guess.You are,” Noah said bluntly.Those words made a deep fog descend over me. I put the mug down, the coffee taste m

Noah’s POVFinally, “We need a plan” Avery said her voice even but firm.“I do,” I said, white knuckling the steering wheel. “First we shall wait for Dimitri to tell us the data has been disseminated. After that we will be set in reality and you can start timing it. Until then, you continue to blend in.“And then? ” she prompt, moving over to me. They were wide, full of fear and bravery.‘After?’ I exhaled slowly “Then we protect you in the endHer eyes browed thinned. “Ok, you too? Can you not just play the god for me Noah? Lisa will hunt us both.“You think she targets you first,” I purred bluntly, pointing at her. You are number 1 She WILL try to hurt you for my sake. My focus is to prevent that.She turned away, mouth pursed to a thin line. “I hate this,” she stated, almost to herself. She hated being this way.“Not helpless, you’re not,” I stated. You’re surviving. That is not nothing Avery; That shits will take power.She did not answer, and I let the silence reassert itself. We

And I virtually recollected the jungle, the terror, the perpetual edict of danger. But then the full strength of it hit, crashing me like a boulder in choppy waters.Noah had already rolled out of bed, laptop on the small kitchen table. He was intently focused, his hands darting across the keyboard. He didn't see me yet, and I hesitated to look at him.“Morning,” I whispered through the clumps.He raised his head, startled, gave me a quick smile. Morning?I shrugged. “Pardon, I was as capable as one might assume for my circumstances.He nodded, got the hang of it. “Well, I have been thinking about our choices,” he said, pointing at the laptop. On the information from that USB drive — not a whole lot, but enough to turn the situation on it’s head. If we could just get it to the right people then maybe this could be enough to stop her.“ B

Noah's POVAs I drove from the warehouse, I glanced back in the rear-view, expecting to see one of Lisa's henchmen hot on our tail. The car was so tense you could practically coat it with black oil and Avery sat in silence looking at the window blankly.Her hands were clutched in her lap as I could tell that the whites of each were white-knuckling.“I feel like I’m losing it,” I finally told her, breaking the silenceShe blinked like coming out of a daze. “I don’t know,” she said. Well, it's like… “ALL OF THIS. I can't DO this. Lisa… this drive… that blackmail…” She choked up.My hand landed on hers where I was grounding her—I reached over. “We can get through this,” I said firmly. “We have all we require now. This week is ours to turn the other cheek.Avery turned back to me only to look absolutely skeptical. But what if it isn’t nearly enough? What if she gets pissed, finds out we have it and hunts us down before we can get it over with? What if—we—“Avery.” I tone was even but firm

But I had sworn on her—on my own life that I would be with her, through anything.I saw the echoes of fear turning into resolve as I finally addressed her from behind. Ha, she had always been tough as nails but I was seeing the splinters already. This is way too much for anyone. And yet, i couldn't help but feel proud of her are courage to do it.“I will,” I said with certainty of my voice. “Carefully though. Each step from now on is a function.Avery nodded past me, the fear still evident in her eyes. “I do, it’s just so… Noah. I ask myself over and over why. Why me? Why did they bring me in?I walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. “No Avery, It’s not about YOU. About the lies they want to lie on. You were just in the way.

I watched my mind frantically start putting the puzzle together of the pieces of information he just had given us. That my own mother was part of all of this was beyond belief.It didn’t make sense.“Lisa… my mother…” What are you saying Noah? “I said the words, and with them came almost disbelief the possibility of this weight that sank its claws into my fingertips.Noah moved a little, his eyes burning into me but I could tell by the way they were haunted with worry.
