"Bye!" I bade Jared goodbye as I came out of his car.Jared expression turned sour. "Do you really have to go?""Yep." I nodded and raised the phone on my hand. Since my phone went missing, Jared got me a new one yesterday."You can call me here if you're worried." I told him and he nodded reluctantly.He suddenly leaned in and kissed my lips for a brief moment."See you, I will pick you up this afternoon." He said as he pulled away. I nodded and exited the car. I watched him drive away before heading to the cafe.After today, I won't come here anymore cause I had plans to resign. Same goes to my job at the bar.As I strode into the cafe, Sia who was by the counter looked up swiftly."You're here, huh?" "Yeah." I mumbled, goin to the dressing room. I changed into my uniform before coming out.Sia was no more by the counter, she was currently tidying the tables so I joined her.As I did, I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Sia frequently. I don't know how to bring Javier's issue u
It didn't take long before we got to the bar and I informed Grey about resigning. He seemed shocked but we wrapped up our discussion earlier and I went back to meet Jared. From there, we shopped for some groceries. I only got what I would need to prepare Brown rice with beef stir-fry today since we were leaving tomorrow.When we got back to the apartment, I made my way to the kitchen immediately, settling the things I bought before starting to prepare the food. I began by chopping the onions before grilling the beef.I was already halfway through this when I felt a hand around my waist. Nobody needed to tell me that it was Jared. Even is thick lavender scent is surely noticeable.A kiss on my neck made me stilled. I paused grilling and quickly pushed him off. His laughter filled my ears as I turned around to glare at him."Stop bothering me, okay?" I told him but he shook his head and moved closer. My back hit the counter as his arms wrapped around my waist, then he started leaning in
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
JAREDI strolled into my office, hands tucked in my pockets. With a sigh, I collapsed down on my swivel chair. Closing my eyes, the image of that girl from earlier flashed through my mind, making me frown. The spark I felt when I saw her - it was ridiculous.She can't be my mate. The moon goddess had to be joking if she thinks I will accept that weak thing who can't even recognize her mate as my own. Just thinking about it made my blood boil.The door swung open and I opened my eyes. My eyes landed on Lisa, my girlfriend who smiled and sauntered over to me. She settled down on my laps. I couldn't help but smile. "You are here.""Hmm. A girl was taken to your room. Who is she?" Lisa asked and I smirked. "Just some stupid bitch whose father gave to me in exchange for his debt.""Whatever, I missed you." With seductive eyes, she began fondling with the button of my shirt."You did, hun?" Chuckling, I grabbed the back of her head before crushing my lips against hers. She kissed me back
AVERY "Bad." Pulling out of the kiss, he commented. "You are really bad at kissing"My eyes remained wide in shock, my lip btting back a retort. How could he steal my first kiss and still say I'm bad at kissing? Did he expect me to be a pro?I resisted the urge to glare at him as he released my chin, his face slowly turning cold."Strip." He said, and my eyes widened again. "Wh – at?" I stuttered."Are your ears not working? I said strip!" He said again, this time louder than the first.I shook my head. "I can't do it."He scoffed. "Do you think you have a choice in this? Wait...don't tell me you have never been touched?" He asked, with raised brows, and I nodded slowly."What?" He snorted and brought his face closer to mine. "So...you mean no one has fucked that little cunt of yours?" Nodding again, I watched as his lips slowly grew into a smirk. "That's nice, but either way, strip." "No. I can't." Moving away from the wall, I rushed to another part of the room. "I won't strip." I
AVERYMy eyes widened in shock. "What?!" I exclaimed."What? Did you think you would become a princess when you came here?" She shot back with sarcasm, but I remained silent, taken aback by her harsh words."If that's what you are thinking, then snap out of it, and get into that bathroom. You only have five minutes." She ordered.I hesitated, biting my lip before taking the uniform from her before and heading into the bathroom.I went under the shower and turned on the faucet. I had a quick bath, after which I picked the uniform from where I kept it. Raising it up, my eyes widened at how short it was. I can't possibly were this.I shook my head, took a new towel, wrapped myself with it before going out of the bathroom."Why are you not dressed yet?!" She demanded the moment she saw me. I felt a wave of fear wash over me as I stuttered out a reply. "I can't wear this. It's too short.""You can't wear it?" She let out a mocking chuckle, her expression darkening instantly. "Do you think
JAREDI watched as she froze in her spot, making me scoff. Did she really think I was going to go let her be? In her dreams.I took a step closer, but she retreated backward, eliciting an annoyed groan from me.I'm really not in the mood for this. I need to fuck someone right now and I will end up forcing myself on her if she keeps on acting this way. I really don't mind."I.." she made to talk but I sped towards her, grabbing her waist and pulling her to myself. Her soft boobs landed softly my chest. My gaze drifted to her lips and I immediately smashed my lips on it.Darn it, for some reason I have no idea of, I've developed a thing for her lips, but the problem is, she's not exactly the best kisser, and she's always so hesitant to open up. But that all changed when I gently bit her lower lip. She gasped, and I took advantage of the moment to slide my tongue in, exploring the corners of her mouth and savoring her sweet taste - like strawberries.I kissed her for two minutes straight
AVERY I left the Alpha King's room and went back to the kitchen, worked for about thirty minutes before deciding to leave for the maids’ quarters, but the court lady told me to clear the plates in the Alpha King's suite. I had completely forgotten about it. I left the kitchen and began heading to the Alpha King's suite and as I walked, my mind went back to the kiss I shared with the Alpha King. To my surprise, I liked it. I liked the way he touched me more. Ahh! I can't believe I almost slept with him if not for the lady that came into the room, but who is she anyway? She seemed angry seeing us in that position. Is she his girlfriend? When I got to Alpha Jared's suite, the guards let me in, and I walked in to meet it empty. "Did he go somewhere?" Mumbling, I walked to the dining table to see that the meals were untouched. He didn't eat. I frowned and packed everything before taking it to the kitchen. I did the dishes, and finally, I could go back to the maids’ quarters. E

The next time I opened my eyes, Jared was right in front of me... staring at me! "Why... are you staring?" I asked in a stutter."Nothing really, you just look pretty while sleeping." He whispered, a playful grin spreading across his face."Oh..." I trailed off and silence set in. Only the sound of our low breaths could be heard as we stared at each other.Minutes passed and Kyra's words replayed in my mind. I guess... she is right. The guy in front of me staring at me with pure affection and love really deserves another chance.I reached out to his face, caressing it softly. His brows creased slightly but I simply smiled and continued caressing his face."When do you want to leave?" I asked and his brows furrowed. "What do you mean?""Aren't we going to the pack any longer? When?" I aksed again and his eyes widened."But you said you were not going, so – ""I don't remember saying that?" I mumbled.Jared raised his brows but he shook his head. "It's fine if you don't want to. I just
AVERY "Urrgh" I let out a low groan as my eyes fluttered opened. My eyes landed on Jared who immediately jerked forward on his seat. "You're awake." "Hmm," I mumbled and my eyes drifted to my surroundings. My brows creased at the sight of drugs and the smell of drug. "Where am I?"I asked, my gaze going back to Jared who still had a pure look of concern. "The hospital." "Huh? Why – " the rest of the words got stuck in my mouth as I recalled what happened. My eyes dilated slightly and a look of disbelief clouded my face. "About Javier, it's not true, right?" A frown appeared on Jared's face. "Are you still going to trust him after what he did to you?" "No, it's not that." I shook my head slowly. "I just can't believe it. How is it possible that he is not human? That means approaching me was because he had something, he – " I choked on my words as tears slipped out of my eyes and Jared's hands wrapped around me in a warm embrace. I hugged him tighter as the tears continued. Javi
JAVIERThe moment I stepped into the portal to the other realm, I quickly closed it to prevent Jared from coming in."You're finally here." I turned at the sound of the familiar voice and a figure came out from behind a tree, a face stiff and cold - Lisa. Her gaze moved behind my back as she took slow, predatory steps towards me. "Where is she?"My gaze swept through her face as I hesitated to speak. "I lost her." I finally spoke up and her eyes twitched, her eyes glinting with darkness."What do you mean you lost her?" She asked, her voice low but anyone could tell she was getting angry."It's Jared - he showed up just as I was about bringing her here.""What!" Her bottled up anger finally unleashed. "Are you that stupid? How could you let him find her!"I let out a sigh. "I also didn't expect it, Jared is just a bastard – ""A bastard?" She cut me off, the lines of her forehead crinking into a frown. "Who do you think you are to call him a bastard?!"I scoffed at her abused questi
My eyes dilated as a cold dread clawed it's way up to my spine. Why is he acting weird? He looks completely different. This isn't the Javier I know.'Call mate!' Kyra yelled in my head and I immediately reached for my phone, dialing Jared's number."Avery, where are you?" Jared's voice sounded and Javier faced me with a frown."You bitch! What do you think you are doing?" He spat and reached for my phone, but before he could get to it, I yelled into the phone."Jared help, we are going through a deserted road!" I said and that moment, Javier collected the phone, hanging up.I watched in terror as he threw the phone out of the car before facing me, a smirk on his face. "I would advise that you don't act stupid and just stay put." He said, his voice sending chills through my spine.'That bastard!' Kyra growled in my head, but I said nothing.I swallowed nothing, biting my lip hard. What is going on here? Why is Javier acting strange? How come he is speaking to me this way? How?I was s
The next day, I left the cafe one hour early so I could visit to the hospital. I also got cheesecake and some other snacks to give to Riley. Jared didn't pick me up since I asked him not to, so I took a cab there.As I stepped out of the cab into the hospital, I hummed to a song I was listening to cause I was having an ear pod on. After walking for some minutes, I finally got to Riley's ward in the VIP section. I pulled the door open, my eyes landing on Riley who as staring out of the window, but she turned immediately."Avery!" Her eyes lightened up and she rushed to me, grabbing my hand. "I was waiting for you.""Really?" I raised my brows and she nodded. I guess she must have been expecting me since I promised her."Here, I got you something from the cafe." I raised the bag I was holding up and get eyes brightened more. She took it from me, smiling as she brought the things out.The moment she finished, she turned to me, her lips pursed into a slight pout. "Thanks, Avery. You're th
The next day, Jared took me to the hospital. After a long walk, we finally got to Riley's ward and Jared pulled the door open.Riley was staring at her phone but she looked up when we walked in."Avery!" Her eyes lit up and I waved at her, going closer to her."Are you okay? You're not really hurt, right?" Iet out my questions as my eyes scanned her body thoroughly. Her left arm was bandaged and she had a few scratches which had already being treated.Riley let out a chuckle and I looked up at her face."Don't worry, I'm fine, I should get discharged today." I was surprised at how indifferent she was. I know we were werewolves but she doesn't even seem like she was a bit hurt at all.The door opening made us turn to it and a doctor walked in with a nurse."Good morning." We exchanged greetings respectfully but Jared remained silent though. He is still the cocky man that he is I guess."Miss, how do you feel?" The doctor asked, coming close. I moved from where I was so he could be cl
"Grey, I'm leaving now!""Wait. Can you help me the guy at the corner, the part timer is not the yet." Grey said in return.I let out a groan. "How annoying can this be."With dragged feet, I collected the drink he was holding and walked to the corner he talked about.Right there, a man with a rugged face and a tattoo close to his ear was seated.I bit my lip and dropped the drink on the table. "Enjoy." I mumbled but I could feel his eyes on me which made me roll my eyes. This kinda happens often so it's not a big deal."Can I go now?" I asked Grey who sighed."I'm sorry, can you do a thirty minute extra?" "What! That's – ""Pretty please." Grey said, giving me the puppy eyes.I shook my head with a hint of disgust and dropped my bag. I took my phone to call Jared cause he was surely waiting but just as I was about dialing his number..."Avery!" It was a call from Grey.With a low groan, I dropped my phone and started serving again.After about thirty minutes like he said, the part-
