One night-stand stranger turned step-brother, an unfortunate twist or maybe a lucky one? Avery Archer is not very good with men, blessed with a cold and indifferent attitude because of how she was brought up, ended up sleeping with a cute, young handsome stranger after a terrible break-up with a shameless ex at her friend’s birthday party. What happens when this younger man turns out to be the son of her father’s mistress who she doesn’t like very much? What happens when this handsome stranger drags her into the world of werewolves and fated pairs? Will she allow their sinful bond to decide for them or will she cave to the obstacles in their way?
View MoreThe party turned out to be somewhat a terrible experience for Avery.Seeing her parents and coincidentally bumping into her boyfriend, whom she couldn’t even challenge outside for daring to bring another girl to the party, well, people were already aware they were half-siblings.Maybe she could have kept things a lot more under control. When the headache started, for a minute, Avery thought she was going crazy, the voice in her head practically threatening, Natalite to stay away from Ian.But that voice soon died down like it wasn’t even there, but after that comes a terrible headache that made her lose the balance of her body as dizziness accompanied it and the ground felt like it was swirling under her feet.She wanted to wait around some more, see more of the party since the highlight of the party was completely different from what she expected.Once again, Avery clarified the existence of werewolves as the MC made jokes about the alphas and Luna’s invitation.Hearing the MC go on
Chapter 57Ian, after Natalie’s advice, sighed softly and turned away since he figured she was right. there’s one problem, though: Kaden has been acting so weird since he touched Natalie and Natalie on the other hand, seems to be doing her best to ignore him.The party was like every other Elite party, with representatives from the hosting pack talking about the unity of the werewolves and the importance of sticking to ethics, not encroaching on or eyeing other’s territory and peacefully resolving territorial disputes.No matter how many times the matter was emphasised by each meeting or party, it doesn’t mean that pack wars don’t happen, after all… alphas will always be alphas.Ian was lost in thought trying to come up with ways to see Avery separately; they needed to talk and he was nearing his limit, waiting for it to happen naturally.Ian instinctively snapped his head in Avery’s direction after a groan slipped out of her lips, and for a second she wobbled on her feet, her face sc
Chapter 56Avery started feeling restless from the moment Ian walked in with Natalie; she tried hard to maintain her composure and not glance in their direction but seeing them together stings more than she thought it would.Was it because she put some distance between them? was that why he showed up to the party with some other woman? Was it because he didn’t want the public to speculate about them or was it because he just didn’t care?Whichever the option was, she almost couldn’t hide how betrayed she felt and anytime her eyes darted in their direction, Ian was always busy with the girl.Ian said the girl was just a friend but why are they acting so chummy and familiar? Why is he holding her hand?‘This is ridiculous, Avy. I can’t believe you’re thinking that way when he blatantly walked into a party of Elite members of the society with another girl in his arms.’ Avery thought, her fingers tightening around the glass of wine she was holding while talking to other members of Damian’
‘Well, this is awkward,’ Natalie thought while clutching down on her gown.Avery’s questioning and cold glare were practically burrowing into her skin; it was almost hilarious and Ian; Natalie had never seen him look that mad before.Ian reluctantly turned away from the two after Avery asked him to leave for his seat; to avoid the spread of any weird speculations, wild rumours, and careless gossip, it was better they didn’t escalate matters.Natalie, however, was impressed by Ian’s self-control.For a minute, Natalie thought he was going to drag Avery away from the place, which would have resulted in a more awkward situation but Ian, despite looking so pissed, just quietly led her to their reserved seat.“That sly bastard, he did this on purpose,” Natalie heard Ian mumble, his eyes still crimson. Natalie walked over to their side of the table and grabbed herself a flute of champagne.Watching Ian fume about his mate being another alpha’s date wasn’t as entertaining as she imagined it
Chapter 54Damian felt strangely proud that people just can’t keep their eyes off Avery, her stunning dress and that choker necklace she had on that bare her pale neck, and the sweet smell of her chocolate perfume, which for some reason was unusually strong on her.Damian felt this the last time they met, when he asked her to come to the party with him; her natural scent was unusually dull, almost nonexistent, but because he thought she was wearing more perfume than usual, he didn’t think much of it.But with his unusually sharp nose, Damian still couldn’t pick her scent even though she was standing right next to him; it strangely made him frown.The urge to lift Avery’s flamboyant black lace sapphire choker necklace that matched her sapphire earrings and bracelet rose, wondering if, by any chance, Ian had his mark on her yet.Even if he’s an alpha with a territory, he’s still young and he should probably know better than to do stuff like that without permission.‘Maybe I’m just overt
Avery sighed softly as she stood up, ready to leave the cafe where she met with Damian.After giving her response, she didn’t think there was anything else to talk about and immediately tried to leave.“You wanna get some tarts? you love tarts...my treat,” Damian suggested, pointing at the pastry shop displaying tarts right next to the cafe as they walked out of the cafe together while ignoring the gaze of the two girls by the entrance who seem to have recognised her even though she was wearing the simplest clothes possible.Avery for a minute hesitated but the pastries looked nice.“Sure,” Avery accepted before they both walked right into the pastry shop but right before she let go of the glass door, Avery was sure she heard a camera shutter.‘I wonder what those reporters are up to now.’ She thought while waiting as Ian ordered her some fruit tarts and packed them up for her.“Thanks,” Avery grinned before they both walked out and headed towards their cars.“Well, they reminded me o

Chapter 51Even if Ian had promised to wait for Avy who said she needed some time to sort stuff out, it was hard to keep himself from contacting her.Being cooped up at home while still blatantly giving Eloise the cold shoulder was terrible.After all, she forced him into accepting her conditions.Ian was only able to accept her proposal after brainwashing himself into thinking he wasn’t doing for her but Avery.Doing the internship at the company and changing schools would mean he gets to stay by Avy’s side for a while.His grandfather is only filling in for him as the alpha because of school.Ian knew he had to return to take his grandfather’s position the moment he was done with school, which means he only has a couple of years to spend with Avy and convince her to be his Luna, since being his Luna might change everything for them.Ian, while still drowning in his thoughts, decided to visit Natalie since he finally made up his mind on what to do about the Elite party, which invitat
“This is surprising; I never expected you’d actually show up here.” Natalie grinned after Ian showed up at her place of work and paid for her hours since she was an escort for alpha werewolves.Since she was reserved only for the VIPs of the bar, buying her hours without reservation was expensive, and somehow Ian paid for it to talk to her.After their first encounter, Ian and Natalie, naturally, got close since he was new in town and Natalie knew all the fun places.While Ian could call Derrick to hang out, he still couldn’t discuss werewolf matters with him since he was yet to tell him about who he really is.Natalie had met Ian outside before; when his father died and he needed a drinking buddy, it kind of seemed like Ian had more worries than his father’s death at the time but Natalie never got to ask since it was officially the third time they were meeting.And though Ian did seem like he genuinely wanted to be friends with her, Natalie was sure it was all because Ian still hasn’
Echoes of clicking heels filled the exquisite marble-tiled hallway that led to the VIP suite of the Apollo Hotel as Avery Archer made her way to the most expensive room in the luxurious hotel owned by her father.Avery’s styled, mid-back, wavy, black leather hair bounced off her shoulders as she elegantly followed behind two hotel staff members hurrying along with her with anxious looks on their faces.Avery wasn’t smiling; her stone-cold expression struck fear into the hearts of the two hotel attendants dressed in the fine, neatly ironed red and white uniforms of the hotel.“Open it,” Avery commanded, her long lashes raised to the brunette holding the master key to the suite.“But ma’am, the policy—” The words seized in the nervous brunette's mouth as she ordered her to open the suite, which a customer, Avery, knew too well, was currently occupied. “Yes, ma’am.” The attendant gulped in response after receiving a sharp, chilly glare from Avery.With trembling hands, the attendant forc...
