Chapter 56

Avery 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’

    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

    Ian Reign sighed as he silenced his mother’s incoming call for the third time while he stood around with his group of friends at a party hosted by his friend’s older sister, Roselyn.Ian Reign, future pack leader and grandson of Alpha Marcus Reign, a respectable but secluded pack outside Hilton City, was forced to visit after his not-so-likeable father’s lung disease got worse and according to his mom, he might never recover.Ian had only seen his father a few times because of his nature; after all, he was born a werewolf and his father was a human who didn’t exactly understand how their world works. At least that’s what his grandfather told him about his father.It wasn’t until recently that Ian found out the real reason behind his parents leaving him with his grandfather in the pack while they lived together in the city and for the first time, his father wanted him to visit for Christmas.Ian wondered why he suddenly wanted to spend Christmas together after abandoning his son for 2

    ‘I must be imagining it.’ Avery concluded as the slight glint she thought she saw in the guy’s eyes vanished as fast as it came.“Sorry, you’re just really pretty. I couldn’t help myself. The guy said, flashing his perfect set of dimples that would normally have Avery floored if he didn’t look so young and strangely reminded her of her cousin brother.“Well, thanks,” Avery replied indifferently while returning to her drink, emptying her cup, and ordering another one.Although many people avoided her because of her cold, unapproachable demeanour, there were still many people who’d looked past her hard exterior and approached her nonetheless because of her background, so she has grown used to the flattery and immune to their bullshit.Avery Archer was known by her not-so-favourite nickname, Apollo’s Witch, given to her by her staff and co-workers because of her nature, someone who hardly smiles... unimpressed and also unforgiving to people who crossed her or at least that’s who they th

    Avery knew people were staring, from the moment Desmond walked in with another bitch in his arms right through when Ian started flirting with her.People were probably amazed by how a few days ago, Avery was showing everyone her relationship was fine but today, they were both with different people.Even if Avery’s notion of love was old-fashioned, she was someone who understood the concept of payback… although kissing Ian wasn’t entirely because she wanted to get back at Desmond.Ian was cute and attractive and he seemed pretty eager so it was like killing two birds with one stone; however… Desmond’s reaction to her totally harmless action was what she didn’t expect.“Is this why you broke up with me? You acted like you were obsessed with me but you had someone else…really? Why… because he’s younger?” Desmond could hardly hold herself back from punching Ian, making Avery scoff in total disbelief.“Sorry, do I know you?” Her question had the whole party taking a solid pause.

    Avery groaned as a persistent ringtone forced her eyes open, and because it didn’t sound like hers, she was forced to drag herself up against the headboard and reach to the bedside table to get some water out of habit but realised her water wasn’t where it usually was, and instead, a lamp was sitting there.It took Avery more than a second to load the previous day’s event, her breakup, and a very wild night with a completely random stranger.The warm body next to hers reminded her of her actions the night before and her brain screamed in total disbelief.‘Shit, seriously, Avery, what were you thinking?’ Avery mentally scolded herself as reality checked in. It felt like her warning alarms, which would normally have gone off after meeting someone like Ian, took a vacation.She was always so guarded with other people but strangely, it wasn’t the same with him… was it because he’s a stranger or is it something completely different? Avery wasn’t sure as she picked herself up from the bed a

    Ian felt his wolf stir wildly as the looming scent of his mate faded in the air, leaving Storm restless, and that forced Ian’s eyes open, and while he hoped his mate was still right there next to him, the cold bed was the terrifying evidence that she’d been out of the bed a while.Ian shot out of bed, drawing back his curly hair before approaching the bathroom, hoping by some miracle his mate would be in the shower, even if that was merely a gullible wish of his, since his super hearing would have picked it up if she was.Gathering whatever faith he could muster, Ian approached the door, hesitating before pulling the handle but as he thought it, she wasn’t there.“She could be downstairs.” Ian renewed his hope and dashed downstairs while struggling to put his shirt back on as before reaching the last step, hoping by some miracle she was right there with her friend, who was Derick’s sister.Ian, on reaching the last step before climbing down the stairs, paused and arranged his messy hai

    ‘I hope I didn't have any weird looks on.’ Avery wondered to herself after a quick stop at the restroom to recompose herself.‘Fuck Avy, of all people you could have chosen to sleep with, it had to be your fucking brother! What shitty luck you have. Avery mentally scolded herself as she walked out of the bathroom, hoping she'd be able to handle breakfast with Ian around. Judging by the shocked look on his face as their eyes met, it was obvious to Avery that he wasn't aware either and more than that, Avery found her mind rounding back to the fact that her father had another child, with that bitch no less. Someone who could be responsible for her mother's death, anger seeped into her skin, replacing the shock of their unexpected revelation. Avery knew her father's affair had been going on for a very long time, but to think it was old enough for them to have a 22-year-old child. Nothing could have prepared her for that. Being 29 years of age, she deduced the affair had started when s

    ‘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

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   Chapter 54-The Elite party 3

    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

    “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’

    Chapter 49Avery felt the warmth of her cup of coffee seep into her hands as she gently wrapped her hands around it while trying to avoid Damian's persistent gaze.She'd asked to meet to apologise since she knew she was partly responsible for what happened with Ian.Avery, who'd never seen Ian act like that and had no idea he was capable of lashing out like that, blamed herself.“Did you really ask me here to sip coffee, Avy?” Damian asked after several minutes of sitting across from each other in an awkward silence.Even though she's ordered Damian's favourite drink, he still looked quite upset, which was fair; Ian did punch him a couple of times, thinking he forced himself on her.“I'm sorry, Damian. I'm sorry… I really am.” Avery apologised with her head still lowered in guilt.According to Damian, Rosie asked him to come check up on her after she called her back and didn't get a response from her.And since Damian wanted to talk to her because things didn't exactly end smoothly th
