Hi Lovelies, Who was expecting Avery to act like this? And who thought she would only cry like a crybaby? Also, what do you think she is going to do now because well, she is seething! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. P.S. I read your comments in the last few chapters. It's so exciting to know that you are already making up theories about the future. ❤️
AVERY “ What did you all do to the girl who was with me? ” I ask the man who has my upper arm in a tight grip and is dragging me along with him. “ For now, she is unharmed. ” He replies, the same disdain contorting his face. I swallow, relief filling me. Renee is fine. Now, all I need to do is to think about how to handle this situation after throwing the threats around that I definitely meant. The rest of the way, I hold my head high and pretend I don’t see the snickering faces or hear the taunts they utter towards me. In due time, they will learn what happens when you poke the wrong person. His grip tightens over my arm as we enter an area that is different than the rest of the black and grey parts of the castle. The walls are painted golden and white, finally giving me a semblance of familiarity. But with that short-lived relief, comes another wave of shock when I see heads poking out of a brown double door. There are several women, wearing revealing clothes. It’s not their
AVERY “ Draven, please lead the Princess to her room so she can rest. ” She faces the man who still has his hand clamped around my upper arm tightly. “ Sure, Agrona. ” The giant throws her a grin, making me roll my eyes. “ Let’s meet some other time, Princess. ” Agrona whispers. “ Yeah. Let’s meet. ” I nod, mirroring her smile when I know in my heart, the sweetest people are the most poisonous. Draven pulls me away from the hall. I glance at Agrona from over my shoulder and notice the odd look in her eyes. I sigh, facing ahead. Things won’t be easy. There are too many people I will need to fight and pay back. When we finally reach a black door, in a secluded corner of the castle, Draven kicks open the door and stays in the doorway. He pushes me ahead, his rough hands uncuffing me. Before I can launch myself at him, he shoves me into the room and locks the door. I turn around and glare at the door. The lump I suppressed all this time emerges in my throat in full force. For th
ALEISTER“ The Princess was livid. ” Draven chuckles as he takes a seat opposite me.I look away from the papers placed on the desk in front of me, casting him a glance. His curved lips press in a thin line. He knows better than to utter fucking nonsense in front of me.I return to signing the papers, as her face keeps flashing before my eyes. Her desire for revenge is not to be taken lightly but what can a pampered princess like her do in a place like this? Eventually, she will have to give in to me and her new life here whether she likes it or not.“ So you believe she won’t snoop around after what happened tonight? That she will fear you enough to not…discover the secrets we are hiding? ” Draven can’t keep his mouth shut for a long time. It’s his only weakness.I remain silent because I genuinely doubt that she will sit tight instead of letting her thoughts run free.“ What if she finds out that you are her fated mate? ” He sighs, running a hand through his hair.I poke my inner ch
ALEISTER “ I just came to check up on you. The full moon is close so I was worried about you. ” She says, her gorgeous face frowning. “ You don’t need to be worried. I am doing better than before. ” I release her hand gently. Agrona swallows, before her full lips part, drawing my attention to them. Unfortunately, instead of getting the urge to slam her body on the desk and releasing the pent-up frustration by fucking her raw, I find myself thinking about the girl locked away in the farthest corner of the castle. Will she be up for such filthy, raw sex right in the middle of my office, with clothes on, and just our bodies rutting violently? My cock hardens when I imagine her flushed with heat and pleasure as she begs for more of me. Her muffled moans from the only night we spent together echo in my ears, making heat rise in my body. I need to be inside that tight pussy again. “ Leister? Is this because of the Princess that you are already feeling better? ” I feel Agrona’s breath
AVERY“ Ha! Did you seriously believe you can come here and tell me that I should be more obedient? That we will spend a night together after what you did to me!? ” I scoff, a twisted smirk curling my lips.Aleister pulls his head out of my chest and stares at me. I search his blank gaze for any hint of pain but find none.Gritting my teeth, I twist the knife deep into his gut but get no response in reply. My hands tremble as the pain starts to spread in my side, slowly creeping towards my heart.I have never hurt someone like this before so it’s probably just panic. It has to be.I drag the knife up, slicing through his skin with ease, and finding the motion sickening. His blood splatters on my hands, a warm sensation I don’t find too pleasing.An agonizing burn spreads throughout my limbs, paralyzing me. Aleister shakes his head as if he is finding this too childish and then grabs my hand. Despite wanting to hurt him more, I find my hands frozen and everything in me hurting.What is
AVERY “ I don’t give a damn about what you want, Aleister Anasazi! ” I thrash violently. He pushes his thumb inside my folds, and my body instantly stiffens once more. I gasp, barely keeping myself together. “ If that’s true, why are you so fucking wet? ” He chuckles darkly. “ It’s m—my body’s natural reaction to my fated mate. ” I utter, ignoring how good it feels. This time, it’s his turn to freeze. It’s clear, for whatever reason, he doesn't want me to figure out we are true mates. Does he take me for an idiot? “ Or do you really believe I will want you after everything? I might as well stab myself to death before touching a disgusting…disgusting pig like you! ” I scoff in frustration. I want his thumb out of me before he drives me crazy and my primal instincts take over. To my surprise, the tactic works and he releases me with a harsh jerk. I push myself up and away from him in an instant, my back hitting the headboard of the bed to put distance between us. “ What did y
AVERYWhile sitting in the corner of the room, on the freezing floor, I stare at the blood that still stains the bed. I can’t pick up the disgusting scent as intensely as before. It’s like my senses are clogged.I touch the corner of my lips and wince before shaking my head. Silently, I pull my legs to my chest and wrap my arms around myself.It doesn’t take much brain to guess that whatever Aleister made me drink has suppressed my Lycan abilities. This is what he meant when he said he would fulfill my wish.It’s his attempt at stripping me of my pride as the Lycan Princess. By making me vulnerable, he thinks he can break me.How so very silly of him.It will take much more than this to make me regret even an ounce of what I said. He deserved everything he got and the things he will get in the future.My jaw clenches at the thought. What kind of man readily tortures their mate like he is doing to me? At least, I found out why Aleister wants to keep me caged in here. Just like any oth
AVERY That’s what powerful people do most of the time. …When someone threatens their power and position, they make sure this newcomer knows about their control. Shaking off those thoughts from my mind, I hurriedly take a bath and wear a chiffon light blue gown that goes well with my eyes. After I am done, I step out and find the girl still waiting for me beside the bed. “ Let me lead the way. ” She smiles, her eyes warming up with the gesture.I nod, following her out of the room. In the daylight, I can make out my surroundings. The interior looks ancient but expensive and polished. Every corner of this place gives off a dark vibe, as if I have stepped inside a creepy world that is entirely different from my world which consisted of an endless sea and a sky that was always stormy. But sometimes, there was sunlight that reflected in the waters. And on those days, I often found myself wishing for a life filled with freedom and happiness that was out of my reach. Back then, Tyson
AVERYLife is unpredictable, they say.I caress the cheek of the newborn, my finger trembling softly. I am awed and reduced to a teary-eyed, half-conscious woman with nothing more meaningful in life than the bundle lying on the bed beside me. So, I believe now…Life is unpredictable. If someone had told me that I will give birth to a beautiful girl, with glassy grey eyes and a sharp cry…I would have told them that I didn’t need them to fool me into believing things that would never happen.But it has happened.“ You have the right. ” Aleister lays on the other side, watching the girl lying between us with similar expressions. He looks dazed as if he is in a dream and scared of touching this beautiful creature.“ We decided on that. You will get to name her if it’s a girl. ” I pull my knees to my chest, trying hard to forget the pain I felt during labor yesterday. People say something else too—they say giving birth is no easy feat. It’s like dying and coming back to life after seei
AVERY“ Was this really as necessary as you make it out to be? ” I ask, moving across his room, smoothening down the non-existent creases in the dress.It’s the same gown that I wore to the festival. Back then, Aleister sent me away without even looking at me but he carried this dress with him wherever he went when I left him.Now, he wants me to wear it on my initiation. I told him it’s unnecessary, but he insists that I must wear this.“ I can get you a new dress if you want, my Princess. ” Aleister says, stepping out of the dressing room and pulling me into his arms immediately. I notice the dark suit he is wearing, the material fitting every bulging muscle and making him appear bigger than he already is. Our eyes meet and warmth spreads in my insides—It’s instant and soothing. “ How do I look? ” I whisper, reaching up to press my lips to his mouth gently.“ Like my Princess. ” Aleister tilts his head, connecting our lips again. “ Like the greatest star in the sky or the beautif
AVERYIt was not as bad as I imagined it. Aleister did stick out from the others, but no matter how wary they were, they couldn’t say anything about it or him anymore.We had breakfast together, and then I showed Aleister around. As expected, Dustin gave us a side eye whenever we stumbled across him but he couldn’t do anything about it which left me giddy.For the first time in my life, I have my own team. Aleister and I are together, and I don’t care if the whole world is on the other side. He is enough for me.But I like that my former friends and acquaintances have accepted him as my mate.“ You have been smiling from the morning. ” Aleister mumbles, pressing a kiss to my neck from behind.“ Do you not like it when I smile? ” I inquire playfully.“ Of course, I love it, Princess. ” He trails a path of kisses up my neck as his hand rests on my stomach, caressing it softly. “ I want you to keep smiling like this forever. Will you do that for me? ”“ If you don’t make me mad, I will. ”
DUSTIN“ What are you thinking now? ” Lenora asks curiously.“ That’s not the right question, Lenora. ” I tell her and place my palm over the edge of the window. The sea appears calm today, or maybe, it’s just me. I am calm, inside out. There is no noise inside my head right now. After seeing Avi genuinely happy, I think I will be better for some time. “ Did you always know that King is her mate? ” She inquires and stands beside me.“ Does it matter? ” I wonder. Why does everyone make a fuss about it? If I know, so what? Does it change anything?The loser thinking makes me want to roll my eyes. If you jump into the ditch after knowing that it’s not deep or you jump without knowing it’s not deep…it’s all the same. In the end, you still have to jump in the ditch. “ How did you know? ” She turns her head and studies me curiously.“ Moon Goddess told me. ” I vowed to not lie to Lenora before, so she gets all the honest answers.She snickers. “ I am serious, Dustin. ”It’s another thi
ALEISTER“ Levian…can tell when someone is lying. If you had stayed back, he would have found out about your child. You don’t realize how brutal he can be when it comes to getting what he wants. And right now, it’s not the time for the war. It’s time to hide that you are pregnant, Avi. ” Dustin explains to her.“ You want to hide my child? ” She huffs. “ that’s not happening. ”“ That’s why I didn’t tell you before. Now that your mate here has told Levian that you are not pregnant and that he is not allied with the other three Kingdoms, Levian is not desperate to snatch your child. He will wait. Because he believes we are weak when we are not united as the four Kingdoms. ” He says and wipes the dried blood from under his nose again. “ He will wait for you to find your mate. ” I conclude neutrally.“ He will wait for me to break and join him. Or he will wait for a mate to come to break me and get me to lose my mind like the rest of you. ” Dustin replies, and smirks. “ but that’s never
ALEISTERI have a hunch that Dustin Landric—the twat let me hit him intentionally. I would have preferred if he fought back. I don’t enjoy hitting those who want to get hit.“ Aleister. ” My Princess nuzzles into my neck, and peer at me with her puppy eyes.My throat feels heavy as I stare into those eyes. I came here to be mad at her. Her friend sent me a letter and informed me that my Princess hadn’t left me and it was all her brother’s plot. He drugged her and kidnapped her.But she could have let me know about it.And she didn’t.I was mad, but what do I feel right now? The heaviness in my throat increases. She loves me, she is carrying my child and she is showing me that she cares about me without giving a fuck about the watching eyes.It’s like I am in a dream. Maybe, I lost my mind back in the South and this is a part of a beautiful imagination.If it’s that…I slide her stray hair behind her ear and watch as she smiles at me brightly. Her blue eyes are moist, and they still l
AVERY“ Once we are done, do you want me to give you a visit to the Wolveshire Citadel? ” I wonder, clinging to Aleister’s arm.He glances at my eyes, slowly looks down at my arm wrapped around his bicep, blinks, then looks away. From where I walk beside him, I can see his neck turning slightly red.“ I don’t think your brother would like that. ” Aleister grumbles under his breath as we step into the sitting area.“ I think the same. ” I nod quickly. “ but I don’t mind. He can be broody about it and go sulk in his room. ” My eyes wander off to my brother who is standing in front of the window, his back to us. “ Ava. ” Nora squeaks, grabbing my attention.I look to my right and find the rest of them standing beside the couches stiffly. Their wary glares filter towards Aleister, making me frown.Subtly, Tyson pushes Amelia behind him and stands in front of her protectively while the girl looks as horrified as a dying fish. Nora and King Striker are beside them, all in their defensive s
AVERYI fake a gasp and roll on the bed. Instantly, Aleister halts and turns to me worriedly.“ What happened? ” He asks, approaching me hurriedly.I clutch my head until he is standing in front of me. When he leans in, I grab his shoulder and sit him on the bed again.My eyes narrow. “ I liked what we did but I don’t want anyone to see this view. ”I point towards his abdomen before rolling out of the bed and grabbing his pants to throw them at him.“ You faked it? ” He rolls his eyes.“ I know what works with you. I just used that information. ” I shrug, searching for my dress. The look of disbelief comes back on his face. He leans back, dropping the pants on the floor again.“ I am not wearing them. You wanted to fuck me in your room. Now you can’t hide me, Princess. ” He chuckles, balancing himself on his palms.“ First of all, we didn’t do what you said we did. We— ”“ Made love? That’s the same as fucking. My cock goes in and out your— ” A knock silences him. Gasping, I drop t
AVERYI am getting worried now. Aleister hasn’t said anything for like an hour after what I told him.I am comfortably lying on top of him now, and I am so tired that I want to sleep. But the hundred different emotions that keep surging back and forth in my mind keep me wide awake.I yawn, snuggling into his neck. “ say something. This silence is irritating me now. ”Silence meets me as a reply again.I huff and draw my face out of his neck just to glare at him. But he looks lost and his eyes see right through me.“ Are you that shocked? Did you not want— ”“ You said…it’s not possible. ” Aleister finally mumbles, his heart beating like a loud drum under my palm.My gaze meets his wide eyes as I sigh. “ Well, my Mom lied about that. I am perfectly fine. I confirmed with a Healer. ”“ What? ” Aleister whispers, his eyes still holding disbelief.“ Yes, Mom lied and made me believe I couldn’t get pregnant. ” I shrug, dropping my head back. “ but who knew…her lie would get me pregnant mor
