AVERYI opened my eyes to the bright sun emitting from the window. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I looked around. My eyes widened when I realized where I was, and I sprang up, looking around to be sure I was not seeing things. I was in the Alpha Jared's room!My mind went to what happened yesterday, how I was running from that creepy guard, then I suddenly felt dizzy and I almost fell biy someone caught me then...the sweet scent. What was that about?"What are you doing here?" My thoughts were cut short when Princess Lisa walked into the room, a frown speedily appearing on her face when she saw me."Er– I don't know.""What do you mean you don't know? Are you playing with me?!" She asked with a glare."I– " "What's going on?" We both turned to the door where Alpha Jared stood with a questioning look on his face."I should be the one asking you that. What's she doing here?!" Princess Lisa hollered."Watch the way you talk to me, Lisa." Alpha Jared said going to the cellar."Seriously
AVERY"Ahh." I sighed out as Alpha Jared pulled out from me. He left the bed while I kept laying there with my eyes closed. Throughout the sex, I felt like he was angry, but I couldn't point it out, though he made mention of me sleeping with someone else. Since he was the one who picked me yesterday, I guess he thinks that way because of how I looked yesterday. Sigh. What can I say?Before he would say something, I stood up from the bed, picked up my clothes which were on the floor, and put it on before turning to him. His pants was back on. "Take the food away." His crisp voice came and I nodded before making my way out of the room. I went to the dining and did what he said. I took the food to the kitchen."Why didn't he eat the food?" Mabel's voice came as I dropped the food."You can have it if you want." I replied simply and walked past her."Bitch." I could hear her say as I walked to the door."You did well." Mia showed up, and I furrowed brows in confusion. She motioned to M
"Accept my rejection, Avery."I took my gaze to him, looking straight into his dark eyes for the first time, and responded to his request, "I, Avery Kyra Beckham refuse to accept your rejection.""What? You bitch!" The door burst open and Princess Lisa stormed in with a big scowl on her face."You refuse his rejection? Are you crazy?!" She yelled. "Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a slave. A damn slave." "Lisa...""No, Jared. Let me put this bitch in her place." Princess Lisa cut Alpha Jared off and moved closer to me.She scoffed. "You think of being his mate? Dream on, cause it's never happening.""Lisa, leave?" Alpha Jared spoke up."What?" She faced him with a frown on her face."Now." Alpha Jared ordered. Seeing that he was serious, she bowed and walked out of the suite.'Do you think he is angry?' Kyra asked.'I don't know.' I replied and looked at Alpha Jared who was staring at me without saying anything.It went on for minutes, which gave me chills. His face was
AVERYLike Princess Lisa said, my life truly became miserable. It was already four days after my meeting with her, but my life was worse than it was ever. I was assigned unreasonable and unnecessary chores, and whenever I completed them, the other maids would complain and get angry at me. It felt like my works were being destroyed as I did them."Hey, go and change the tissue paper rolls in all the rooms." Just like the last few days, I was asked to do a job that was simply out of my supposed chores. I made my way to the supply room, picked four of the tissue paper packs which were stashed on the shelf. I walked to the door and opened it with difficulty because of the stack of tissue paper packs. Walking was also difficult, I found it hard to see. I was grateful I didn't stumble or fall until I got to the first room.I opened the door and walked in with the stack. I took one of the pack and peeled it open before taking one of the tissue rolls. I walked into the bathroom and changed i
1JAREDWhen I picked the glass from the floor, and started bringing it towards Avery's hand, I never meant to really hurt her with it, but then, her tears flowed before it even got close to her. I swallowed, but covered it with a smirk before dropping the glass. I went to the center table to take the document I came for, then I walked out of the suite without saying a word.I stopped to glare at Garvey who bowed immediately."I'm sorry, sir."I rolled my eyes and walked out of the building. "Jared!" On my way to my office, I head someone call my name. I looked ahead to see my sister, Riley. She ran towards me and pulled me to a hug."Big bro." She mumbled as I hugged her back.We remained like that for few seconds before I pulled out. "What are you doing here?""What do you mean? This is my pack." She glared at me and I chuckled. Riley always had the knack for traveling, so since she clocked eighteen, she left the pack to follow her dreams. Touring the human world in different count
AVERY"I don't think I need a mate though, especially not a weak one." Alpha Jared said, maintaining eye contact with me. I chalked down nothing as my breath became shaky. His piercing gaze never left mine. Instead, it pierced deeper into me. "Are you okay?" I took my gaze away from him to Princess Riley, who was staring at me with a smile on her face."I'm good." I forced out, and she nodded, concentrating on her food. I took my gaze back to Alpha Jared, but he was no longer staring at me. I didn't look away still. His cold eyes as he said those words reappearing in my mind.Did he hate me this much to deny having a mate? What did I even expect? He already tried rejecting me, so he surely didn't want to have anything to do with me. Should I just accept his rejection?'No, we can't.' Kyra's sharp voice made me close my eyes.'We can't keep hurting like this, Kyra.' 'We just have to make him love us,' she replied and I shut her out. I didn't want to hear it anymore.Their dinner wen
AVERYI sighed loudly as I looked out of the window once again. I had finished all my work for today and I'm currently in my room. All I wanted was to take a brief rest and possibly clear my mind. I was still staring out of the window when the door opened. I looked away from the window to see Mia."Hey, have this." She pointed an egg sandwich at me. "I didn't see you in the kitchen, so I brought it to you. You skipped dinner too.""Hmm..." I hummed, taking the sandwich from her. "Thanks.""You're welcome." She muttered and sat beside me on the bed."Are you okay?" She asked as I took a bite of the sandwich. I faced her as I munched on it. "What do you mean?""You've been quiet, and you skipped dinner, same as today, if I didn't bring it to you.""I'm fine, just...." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. I can't probably tell her about what's going on.I could feel her staring, but since I didn't know what to say, I just focused on eating."What do you think about Princess Riley and
JAREDA knock sounded on the door as I worked in my office. I asked whoever it was to come in, and the door opened. Mavis walked in."Any news?" I asked, without looking at him."Yeah, I'm not sure if it's good, though." I looked up this time as he settled on the chairs in front of me."The business deal we are trying to get from the Silver Pack, The Black Moon Pack, is also opting for it."A frown appeared on my face as Mavis elaborated on his statement. We had been trying to make a deal with the Silver Pack. They have a lot of resources and so do we, but we needed to expand, and The Black Moon also opting for the deal means trouble."You know we can't let them get it, right? They would surpass us if they do." I spoke up when he was done talking.The Black Moon Pack and this pack, The Crescent Moonstone Pack, are total enemies. Their Alpha, Drew, is a total pain in the ass, always trying to make trouble with me, and it's so obvious that's what he is doing now. His pack getting the de
