AVERY"Are you okay?" Princess Riley asked the moment Alpha Jared walked out, but I ignored her, letting my tears flow."Ooh... stop crying." She cooed, settling beside me. Her arms went around me in a hug, but it only made my tears increase.The news about my pup's death felt like my heart was pricked with sharp thongs, breaking it heart countlessly. I'm such a worthless mother, I could not even protect my pup from that sly witch. I just... I don't know what to do.My tears kept falling for long minutes then Princess Riley suddenly pulled out, she took ber thumb to my face and began wiping my tears. "You should stop crying, huh.""Where is she?" I asked wordlessly and her expression turned to confusion. "Who?""Lisa... she killed my child." I replied, locking eyes and she sighed. "She is nowhere to be found, so we assume she is dead.""What do you mean? She isn't dead, she stabbed me, she killed my child." I said desperately, pointing at my stomach.Princess Riley smiled lightly and
JARED After hours of working in my office, I decided to head back to my room, hoping Avery would be more calm than she was the last time I saw her, even though she had the right to act that way. Few meters to my suite, I ran into Mia who asked to see Avery. I didn't cease to give her permission. She had been worried about Avery throughout the time she was gone and even helped finding her, but instead of today, I told her to do it tomorrow since it was already getting late. We parted and I continued my journey to my suite. I was met with silence the moment I stepped into the suite, so I made my way to the room, and there she was, Avery was laying peacefully on the bed, her lashes hugging each other as she slept. A sigh escaped my lips as I strolled to the bed before settling down on the edge. I reached out to caress her face but just as I was about touching her face, her eyes snapped open. I quickly retracted my hand, putting on a smile. "You're awake." "Why? Did you expect
The look on Alpha Jared's face changed from surprise to confusion. "I don't understand, where are you going to?""I don't know but I don't want to stay in the pack house."He took quick steps to me. "Why? Don't you like it here?" He asked immediately, taking quick steps towards me, but I moved back, replying hil sharply. "I don't." His steps slowed and he abruptly halted, his expression twisted with concern. "Why? Don't you like it here? I can solve it if you tell me what's wrong." The look in his eyes made my heart flutter, but I quickly pushed past it and spoke up. "There is nothing wrong, I just want to leave, somewhere far... away from you."Hurt flashed in his eyes and that moment, I wished I had not said that even though I meant it."But – ""Please." I interjected, and bowed slightly before turning on my heels to head back to the suite, or should I just go to mine at the maids' quarters?. I was still contemplating on where to go to when my eyes landed on a man who looked unbe
JAREDSettled in the corner of a bar, I downed a glass of tequila before filling it up from the bottle that was on the table. I was in a bar which was away from the pack house. After Avery's words of wanting to leave, the only thing I could think of was getting a drink, but I couldn't do that in front of Avery, so came here instead."Alpha King." I turned at the sound of the voice. My eyes landed on Mavis who was walking towards me. I had called him to join me."What's going on? Why are you drinking here instead of the pack house?" He asked as he settled down in front of me."Avery is there." I replied, and took the bottle of whiskey, pouring some of its content in a clean glass. I pushed it towards him when I was done. He passed me a careful look before taking it. "Is something bothering you, Alpha?" "Just call me by my name." I said."Huh?" He mumbled, shaking his head immediately. "I can't do that.""It's an order, okay? I just don't want to be called an Alpha for sometime." I to
AVERYAlpha Jared was quite surprised when I told him I wanted to go to the human world. I just thought of it as the farthest place I could go. If I decided to leave the pack house for my parents house then I would have to deal with my stepdad. I also didn't want to go to the Black Moon Pack cause I had been there before. The thought of going to another pack didn't sit well with me. At that moment, the thought of how Princess Riley talks about the human world, it seemed interesting, so I decided to try it out and it was also a place where I wouldn't be ranked as an omega even if there were hierarchies.Alpha Jared eventually agreed to let me go, but there was one problem, I could not open a portal. A portal is needed to go to the human world and also to come back here, though I was not sure about coming back here. I still had to learn it. Alpha Jared opted to teach me, but I declined, asking for Princess Riley to teach me instead. She was a traveler of the human and werewolf world, so
When Mia wanted to leave, I followed her and at some point, we went our different ways. I made my way to Princess Lisa's suite, knocking on the door when I got there."Who is there?" I heard her voice from inside and when I told her it was me, the door opened immediately. A smile spread across her face when she saw me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me in."How was your night?" She asked"Great, same for you?""Yep! So how are you ready for your training today?" I chuckled at the way she moved her eyebrows before nodding."Are we doing it here?""Nope, not here. Let me put on a jacket before we go, you should put on one too, it's cold." I nodded, staring at her as she went in. She came back with a jacket on her body and another in her hand."Here." She stretched the one in her hand to me. I took it from her and stood up, following her out of the room.We continued walking, passing different buildings and heading to western part of the pack house. There was finally something significa
After hours of training, I finally called it a day. I bid Princess Riley farewell and headed back to my room, eager to unwind. I quickly took my bath before getting into comfortable clothes. Just as I settled in, a knock came on the door. I smiled as I opened it to find Mia. "Come on in," I said, stepping aside."Are you busy?" I asked, shutting the door behind her.Mia shook her head, her bright smile and sparkling eyes a stark contrast to my fatigue. She settled onto the sofa, and I joined her."How was your training?" she asked, her curiosity evident.My expression faltered, and Mia's gaze turned concerned. Her hands enveloped mine, her touch warm and reassuring."Did something happen?" she asked, softly. Sighing, I hesitated before speaking. "I couldn't open a portal."Mia's brows arched. "Why?"I recounted Princess Riley's words, and realization dawned on Mia's face. "That's sad," she whispered, her eyelids dropping.I forced a smile. "It's fine. I just need to keep trying."Mi
AVERY "Avery!!!!!!" The loud voice piercing through my ear made my eyes snap open. Groggily, I took in my surroundings. I sighed out when I realized I was in the storeroom. I can't believe I slept off in this place even though I had every reason to cause I had been working my ass off since morning and..."Avery!!!!!!" The voice came again and I immediately sprang up. It was the voice of my stepdad which I couldn't ignore. I sprinted out of the room and into the sitting room. There, my stepdad stood with an angry scowl on his face, which made me gulp nervously."Where the fuck were you?" His deep voice sounded as he started walking to me, slapping me hard on the face the moment he got to me. I winced at the pain it brought."Are you deaf?" He questioned. Just then, he shook his head, and to a direction. My brows creased when I saw two burly guys who were standing at the far end of the sitting room."Take her away." My eyes widened in terror as the two men approached me. I took a ste
