LISAA loud yell left my lips as I walked into my room, picking and throwing the first vase my eyes landed on. The vase hit the wall and shattered loudly on the ground, but it isn't enough to quench my boiling blood. I went over to the mirror hanged on the wall, I took it off and hit it on the ground, another loud yell leaving my lips. How could Jared support Avery when I'm his girlfriend and Luna to be, and that bitch – how could she get pregnant!She better not come back here or better still, she should never be found. Getting my phone, I dialed the only number I could think of, and after few rings, the person picked."Yes, Princess Lisa." The hoarse voice rang through my ears and I smiled."I need you to help me find someone with the aim of killing her.""Who is that?'"It's a girl," I told him everything I knew about Avery, and he hanged up after assuring me to do the job well. I trusted him too, he always gave good results
JARED"So, you are yet to find her?" I looked up at Raul who was standing in front of me, a kind of remorseful look on his face.Sighing, I bit my lip - hard. "You know she is pregnant, right?""I'm sorry.""You are sorry? What are you doing, gamma. Are we this weak? We can't even find just one girl. Just one.""I'm sorry." He bowed, remorse laced in his voice, but I don't care. All I want is my Avery back. Knowing that she is out there alone, and probably without shelter makes my heart ache so much.I just can't seem to find her no matter how I try. I had even gone out to search for her myself but there was nothing. Even her friend here, who we eventually found out said she had no idea where she went too even though she helped her. It's like she disappeared into thin air.I was about sending Raul off when the door burst open and Mavis rushed in. "Alpha!" He showed me his phone and my eyes widened when I saw Avery's picture there."What's this?" I asked, my eyes not leaving the pictu
AVERYAs I left Drew and my so called mate, my heart raced and different questions whirled through my mind. How come I have a mate? Even though, it was more weird that I was pregnant without a mate, it felt so unreal. I didn't feel the they said comes when you see your mate for the first time or is it because I had seen him before even though I don't remember.Instead of feeling happy that I had a mate, It was strange. My feelings were distorted. I looked back when I heard the revving of an engine. Even from a distance, I could still see two cars driving out.Sigh. I looked away, heading into my room. I moved to the closet, draping a muffler around my neck cause I felt cold. I went back to my bed, settling on it with another sigh. What should I do?A knock on the door made me go get it,and Alpha Drew showed up. I said nothing as he made his way in."Are you okay?" He asked, and I sighed shutting the door before turning to me. "I don't know, but is he really my mate?"I asked, but
JAREDWhen I met with Drew, and calmly asked him to let Avery come with me, also saying that Avery herself, refused to go with me, but I didn't believe. I decided to see her and it was true. She didn't want to go with me and it seemed she felt uncomfortable around me. I didn't like it and I would change it. I don't mind coming here everyday to do so.When I got back to the pack house, I was met with Mavis who was all smiles. I asked him the reason for the smiles and he told me that the Silverbead Pack agreed to form a deal with us. But the disappointing thing was that he also agreed to form a deal with The Black Moon Pack tooI heard he was all considerate, but I never expected it to be to this extent. How could he collaborate with the two packs knowing our situation? But on a second thought, it was better than nothing. None of our packs surpassed the other.I still wasn't satisfied. If I was higher than Drew and was a member of the werewolf community council as a whole, I wouldn't ne
LISA"When did you arrive?" I asked Uncle Jake as we walked out of Jared's suite."Not long ago. About Jared's so called mate... do you know her?""Of course! That bitch was a maid here before she fled, and she is the reason why Jared is paying no attention to me.""Are you serious?" His brows furrowed in concern.I nodded swiftly. "She is even pregnant!" I shot, sniffing back the tears that was brimming in my eyes.Uncle Jake stopped, facing me. "You don't have to worry. No one is taking Jared away from you.""Then can you find her for me?" This was an opportunity to find Avery since the person I hired was taking long and uncle Jake had a lot of connections. But, his response wasn't what I expected."She is at The Black Moon Pack." He said.My eyes went wide. "Is Jared aware?""Yes, he went there today actually.""What! How can he – " I trailed off and bit my lip. I can't cry, not in front of uncle. I can't look weak. Putting on a bold front, I grabbed his hands."You won't let Jared
AVERY "Then can I be your mate?"I stilled at Alpha Drew's question, my eyes not leaving him.He suddenly chuckled. "It's a joke,""Are you sure?" I asked, cause his expression while saying that felt real and had no ounce of humor in them. His reply made it more confusing."What do you think?" He asked and my brows creased. What exactly is he thinking in his head?We wrapped up our lunch and he saw me off to my room."Go in now and rest well." He said as we got to my room. I nodded, muttering a thank you before going in, still confused from the conversation we had while we ate. I don't know why, but I feel like Alpha Drew acts strange sometimes. I know he is nice and caring, but I feel like he wants something more. He is also against me going back to Alpha Jared.Thinking about Alpha Jared, the scene of how he kissed my forehead at the library popped up in my head and a blush creeped to my cheeks. I took my fingers to my forehead, caressing it. Why does the kiss feel nice and also st
Alpha Drew left sometime after I had breakfast and I made my way to the bathroom, bathing for almost thirty minutes, and throughout, I couldn't take my mind off the image. I am sure that the image is a part of my lost memories, and I really want to know what it's about. I will ask Alpha Jared about it when I see him.I finished bathing, exited the bathroom and was about to walk past the mirror on my way to the closet when something caught my eye - my neck. I moved closer to the mirror, taking a close look at my neck to meet it bare. There was no sort of mark showing that I'm Alpha Jared's own. If we had sex, why didn't he mark me yet. A knock on the door, brought me out of my thoughts."Who is that?" I asked."It's me, Jared." A crisp voice replied me and my heart skipped a beat. Though I wanted to see him, I didn't expect him to show up now. I just – "Are you there?" His voice came up. Clearing my throat, I told him to wait for a bit and rushed to the closet. I picked a simple stra
1JAREDAs I left Drew's pack house, I repeatedly tried calling my dad but he did answer. It was Mavis who actually called the other time. He called to inform me of my dad's plan to prepare for some shitty coronation for Lisa. I needed to talk him out of it and calling him was the only way I could get through to him since he blocked me from mindlinking him. The only option was to get to the pack, but it will take quite some time.After a grueling three hour drive which felt like eternity, I finally arrived at the pack house."Alpha." The guards, acknowledged my presence with a bow but I brushed past them, storming off to my father's suite. My brows furrowed when I got there, to see him lounging in his chair while sipping wine. Right. He is surely relaxed after giving that stupid order.His gaze shifted to me. "Why are you here?""What do you think?" I cocked my head to the side briefly. "Why did you order for some shitty coronation?"His response was infuriatingly calm "Why acting li
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
"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
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-
