AVERYWith my gaze on the burly man, whose eyes was on his phone, I tried to get through to Alpha Jared and Alpha Drew. I've been doing this for sometime now, but it just keeps bouncing back. The guy suddenly looked up, almost making flinch.My brows furrowed when the guy suddenly smirked. "What are you trying to do?" I blinked, keeping my mouth shut which made him scoff. "You're not trying to mindlink someone, are you?" My eyes widened in surprise. How did he know?"I see, that's what it is." He chuckled. "You shouldn't waste your time though, cause it's not gonna work. You see that thing on your wrist," I turned my head to check but I couldn't see anything. "it's hindering you from mindlinking anybody, so just give up and take your death obediently."I frowned. This jerk – how can he tell me to take my death obediently. I grinded my teeth against each other to stop myself from saying anything that would. put me in more troubl
JARED"Help me!" The desperate cry in my mind link jolted me awake. I recognized Avery's voice instantly. I quickly tried to mindlink her again but it bounced back filling me with surprise and concern.Yet, the knowledge that Avery was still alive gave me hope. I leapt off the couch, where I had fallen asleep on, and connected my mind with Drew's as I tried mindlinking him. But, as expected, he blocked my attempt. Just as I was about to give up, his gruff voice responded. "What do you want?"'Any leads?' I asked, hastily.'No, I'm trying to track her scent to nearby packs but it's yielding nothing so far.''Keep trying.' I said and he scoffed. 'You don't get to order me ar – " I cut him off before he could continue and mind-linked and mind-linked Mavis to come. Within minutes, Mavis arrived."Found anything?" I asked abruptly. He shook his head. "It's as if she vanished without a trace. No one has also seen her.""She mind-linked me." I said His eyes widened. "She did?!"I nodded,
AVERY"Ah!" My eyes snapped open at the feel of cold water against my skin. I slowly opened my eyes and it landed on a pair of legs which was right it front of me. Slowly and in fear, I slowly gazed up but I flinched at the sight of Princess Lisa staring daggers at me.Her lips curved up into a smirk. She crouched down to my level before stretching her hand out to my face. I flinched at the feel of her finger against my skin, irritated, annoyed and angered. The urge to thwart her hand away from my face came but that would just anger her more."Are you scared?" Her voice came, slow and drawled, then she snickered. "Well, you should be."She let out a sly smile, suddenly grabbing my hair and pulling me up from my lying position. "You will pay for trying to escape." She smirked and before I knew it, she hit my head on the chair."Ahh!" I yelped as pain shot through my brain but that wasn't it. My head came in contact with the chair again. I could hear a bang in my head as she hit did i
"How is she?" I asked the doctor immediately he finished treating Avery.He let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping. "She is okay for now, but...""But what?" I cut in, my patience growing thin. He sighed once again making my brows furrow in confusion and curiousness about what would make him sigh continuously."I something wrong?""I'm sorry, but she lost the pup." A loud bang in my head had me taking a step back and almost falling as his words seeped into my head."It's a joke, right?" I queried, He bowed, shaking his head. "I'm sorry."A scoff let itself out of my lips. I shook my head, refusing to believe his words. "It's not possible.""I'm sorry Alp – "I let out a bitter laugh, cutting his words shut. My hands went to my hair, pulling hard at the strands as the doctor's words repeated in my head. It's not true. I can't. My gaze drifted to Avery on the bed and my upper lip went in between my teeths. I bit down on it hard. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the doctor's lips mov
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
