Avery’s POV

As the night air brushed against my skin, a chill crept up my spine. Step after agonizing step, another wave of pain coursed through my body as I felt Noah's arm draped around my shoulder, taking most of my weight while we ambled through the darkness behind the hangar.

The sirens were getting closer.

With a pistol in hand, Dominic escorted us, searching in all directions for any remaining threats. Raven was breaking through on my line.

“Okay, listen up! The cops are coming in fast. I don’t know who ratted us out, but we're out of time.”

“Shit! Is there an exit?” Noah asked.

Raven took a second. “Not one you’ll like.”

“We don’t like it already,” I muttered, barely able to keep my eyes open. “Just tell us.”

Raven sighed. “There’s a utility tunnel running under the hangar. Emergency access for maintenance crews. If you can get inside, it leads out past the perimeter.”

Dominic was walking, scanning the nearby walls. “Where’s the entrance?”

“Fifteen feet to your left. A metal

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 1

    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 POVThe morning showed through the thick cover of the canopy, like the sun itself feared to shine into this area of the woods. I held tightly onto the map, brittle edges flaking off with every contact. Jameson strode a few steps ahead, his gaze roving over the ground with calculated precision.“This map is useless unless we know where we are,” I muttered, piercing the tense silence between us.Jameson didn’t look back, but his shoulders went stiff. “Then why are you clinging to it so much?”His tone was terse, and his patience was clearly fraying. I seethed behind the back of his head, fighting the impulse to retaliate. He always did that — shut people out, deflect, pretend he had it all under control. But the reality was apparent in his rigid posture and the keen edge in his voice. He was just as lost as I was.With every step the woods around us thickened. The trees towered like giants with darkened, scarred bark. Fog started to creep along the floor of the woods, wrapping a

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 8

    Avery’s POVThe low menacing growl echoed through the quiet forest; It exposed its teeth like an unseen wind, freezing me to the bone. My breath seized in my throat, and I clutched the pack's strap so tightly that I thought it would break.“Jameson,” I whispered, the words barely audible above the loud pounding of my heart.He turned quickly, already gripping his knife handle. His expression changed from annoyance to sharp alertness, all in an instant. "Don't move," he ordered. His voice was absolute."But what's—" I tried to talk.“Shh, I’ll tell you later,” he added. His eyes glanced fiercely into the looming shadows ahead as if looking for some enemy in them.The growling reappeared, louder this time, and the forest shook. A boar emerged, huge and bristling, its tusks gleaming like ivory blades.I swallowed hard, tasting the lead at the back of my mouth.“We are going to back away,” Jameson said softly, in a voice that held both firmness and calm. "Take your time and keep your eyes

    Avery’s POVThe gunshot ripped through the night.Pain exploded through my shoulder, knocking me backward. The ground came up fast, the cold concrete jarring against my spine. My vision blurred, and for a second, all I could hear was the ringing in my ears.Someone was shouting my name.I tried to move, but fire licked up my arm, spreading through my entire body. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I pressed my hand to the wound. Warm, sticky blood seeped between my fingers.Lisa stood over me, gun still raised, a smirk playing at her lips.“Did you really think this would end any other way?” she mused, tilting her head.I forced my body to move, my fingers curling toward the gun I had dropped, but Lisa stepped forward and kicked it away.“I have to admit,” she continued, crouching down beside me. “You were persistent. Annoying, but persistent.” She reached out, brushing a strand of hair from my face like she actually cared. “That’s why I liked you, Avery. You had fight.”I clen

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 72

    Avery’s POVApparently, morning has come too early.The city seems to be alive outside the sab house, but inside it is totally quiet. Surreal.Under twelve hours to go before we make our move.The talk was reserved as we gathered around the table, and the blueprint of the airstrip still sprawled from yesterday night. Raven was already typing at her end, her fingertips moving rapidly over the keypad. Noah sat next to her, his arms crossed, his face a deep frowning hiss. Dominic leaned against the wall, taking gulps at his black coffee as though that were all keeping him standing.I could feel that tension hung in the air. The weight of the actions to be taken loomed over us.Noah broke the silence. “We need to go over everything one last time.”Dominic nodded, setting his mug down. “All right. This is it. Once we're in, there's no turning back.”Raven turned her screen toward us. "I managed to hack into the airstrip's security system. I can loop the cameras for about three minutes-enou

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 71

    Avery’s POVThe air in the SUV was thick with exhaustion and adrenaline. No one spoke as we sped down the highway, the city lights growing brighter in the distance. Every mile that passed felt like a countdown to something bigger, something inevitable.Lisa was still ahead of us.She had let us go because she knew we'd come back. And she was ready.I glanced at Noah. He was still pale, his head leaned against the window, but his breathing was steadier. The pain must have been unbearable, but he hadn’t complained once.“You good?” I asked quietly.His eyes flicked open, and for a second, they softened. “I’ve been worse.”That was a lie, but I let it slide.Raven was still typing on her laptop, her face illuminated by the glow of the screen. Dominic kept his eyes on the road, his grip on the wheel tight.Finally, Raven exhaled sharply. “Alright. I’ve got a lead.”Dominic glanced at her in the rearview mirror. “Talk.”She turned the laptop so we could see. “Lisa’s scheduled to meet at a

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 70

    Avery’s POVThe hallways blurred around me, every breath burning in my chest. Noah's weight dragged against my shoulder, but I held him up, forcing us forward as fast as possible.Behind us, alarms blared, a violent, grating noise that made every step feel like a countdown to disaster.Lisa let us leave.That thought refused to leave my head. She had every opportunity to stop us—she could have had her men block every door, trap us in that office, make sure we never made it past the underground corridors.But she didn’t.Which meant one thing.She was playing a longer game.And we were still inside it.“Faster!” Raven hissed, keeping ahead of us, her stolen gun clutched tightly in her hand. “They’ll regroup and block the exits any second now!”Noah grunted, his arm tightening around my shoulder. His breaths were shallow, his body heavy. I glanced at him—his jaw was clenched, his face tight with pain, but his eyes were sharp. He was still with me.That had to be enough.We reached a spl

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 69

    Avery’s POVRaven’s hands were steady as she locked the door behind us, but her eyes were sharp with urgency. We had minutes—maybe seconds—before someone noticed I was gone.“We have to move fast,” she whispered. “Lisa’s guards are all over this place. If we get caught before we reach Noah, we’re screwed.”I nodded, my pulse hammering. “Where is he?”Raven glanced down the hall. “They took him to a different wing. I don’t know exactly where, but I saw them dragging him that way.” She pointed toward a dimly lit corridor. “We go in quiet. Take out anyone in our way.”I flexed my fingers. “Fine by me.”Raven smirked. “That’s what I was hoping you’d say.”We moved quickly, staying close to the shadows. The underground halls were eerily quiet, the concrete walls swallowing sound. My heart pounded harder with every step.Noah was here.And he was hurt.I clenched my fists to keep my emotions in check. Getting reckless wouldn’t help him. Focus. Stay sharp.Footsteps echoed up ahead. A guard.

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 68

    Avery’s POVThe cold from the concrete walls seeped into my skin as I sat on the floor of my cell, my wrists still raw from the struggle against the restraints. The room was small—barely enough space to pace. The only light came from a single flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling.They had taken everything. My weapons, my phone, even the small knife I’d hidden in my boot.But the worst part?I had no idea where the others were.I had heard Dominic fighting when they dragged us down here, but that had faded into silence. Noah was taken in the opposite direction, and Raven—she had disappeared before I could even process what was happening.I pulled my knees to my chest, forcing myself to breathe. Panicking wouldn’t help. I needed a way out.I scanned the room. The walls were solid. No vents. The door was thick metal with a reinforced lock.But locks could be picked.And Lisa had made a mistake—she thought we were helpless.She thought wrong.Footsteps echoed down the hall, stopping j

  • FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE   Chapter 67

    Avery’s POVThe alarms shattered the silence like a gunshot. Red warning lights flared to life, painting the marble halls in streaks of crimson. My pulse skyrocketed as Raven and I froze in place, our eyes meeting in a brief moment of panic."Shit," Raven hissed. "They know we're here."We had seconds—seconds before the guards outside the meeting room came storming in. My instincts screamed at me to run, but we couldn’t—not yet.Raven recovered first, snapping her laptop shut and shoving it into the supply cart. "We need to move. Now."The double doors ahead burst open. Two guards stormed into the hallway, guns drawn, their eyes scanning for the threat. I forced myself to stay still, gripping the supply cart’s handle as if it would ground me. We still looked like workers. Maybe—just maybe—they wouldn't suspect us.No such luck."You!" One of them pointed at me. "Hands where I can see them."Raven didn’t hesitate. In one smooth motion, she flipped the cart over, sending supplies crashi

    The tension in the cabin was thick enough to choke on. No one had slept. No one had even tried. The plan was in motion, but the weight of what we were about to do sat heavy on all of us.Lisa had built an empire on manipulation, control, and fear. If we miscalculated even once, she’d slip through our fingers again—and this time, we wouldn’t get another chance.Raven was the first to break the silence. “Alright, let’s run through this one more time.”She tapped on her laptop, pulling up a satellite image of the estate Lisa was meeting at. “Security is tight—motion sensors, cameras, at least a dozen armed guards patrolling the perimeter. Getting in unnoticed won’t be easy.”Dominic leaned over the table, scanning the blueprint. “We won’t have to sneak in if we give them a reason to open the gates.”Noah’s eyes flicked up. “You have an idea?”Dominic nodded. “A delivery truck. The estate gets shipments daily—food, supplies, the usual. If we can intercept one, we’ll have an excuse to get
