AVERY'S P.O.VI audibly gasped but stopped myself from making another sound by pressing my hands to my lips. I felt the temperature in the room turn cold, Sir Damien and Alpha Lucien stared at each other wordlessly. Then Alpha Lucien nodded, it seemed they had been speaking through the pack link. He glanced at me and held my gaze for a few seconds before turning to Jessica."I never did find her"My heart tugged painfully as my wolf whimpered."Oh" her voice was a tone higher as she grinned, her eyes sparked with delight as she stared up at him. "Maybe you don't have a mate Luci" she tightened her hand on his.He turned away from us disengaging her hand, "Yes, maybe. I'm going to my room""Okay, I'll come with you""No" he growled without turning back, "I want to be alone""Alright", she pouted, the action looked very cute on her due to her already chubby cheeks making her look like a baby.Sir Damien stuffed his hands inside his pants pocket and headed for the other stairs, I stood
AVERY'S P.O.V"W..ww...what?" I squeaked in shock as I stared at Alpha Lucien who was still holding out the cutleries to me. I glanced worriedly at Sir Damien, his face had a good natured smile pasted on it but I could see his eyebrows twitching, his hands were white as they clutched his fork. Jessica looked about to burst, she moved to say something but Sir Damien held her back with a piercing glare."I said, feed me" "B..but Alpha...I...im not sure...""Do it?" He promptly handed the cutleries to me and pushed his plate towards me while he stood up and sat directly beside me. He watched me and waited, his eyebrows were raised as if challenging me. I sighed internally, this was madness. If it had been Jessica or Sir Damien who had made this request, I wouldn't have been this flustered. This was Alpha Lucien, coupled with the fact he was the alpha and has been my mate, this whole scene is chapter of awkwardness but I was too powerless to oppose.Swallowing silently, I held the fork i
THIRD PERSON P.O.VLucien ran his tongue along his teeth as he headed back to his room, the taste of her blood still lingered in his mouth. He had never imagined that he would meet someone in his spot nor could he have foreseen that she would be the one. He had never initially wanted to be the one to create the pack link for her, creating pack links was an easy thing. As long as you were related to the current Alpha by blood, you could create it. And since she was also his brother's maid, the link should have been done by him and in a less complex location like her hand. But when he had seen her standing under the star lit sky in the middle of the garden, he just couldn't stand the thought of his brother getting a taste if her blood and he had chosen her neck because it gave him the impossible dream of one day sinking his fangs in her neck, claiming her. The sweet taste of her blood still lingered in his mouth and the soft, pale texture of her skin had called out to him with illicit p
THIRD PERSON P.O.VLucien and Damien silently glanced at each other and replied at the same time."Nothing""Nothing"Jessica frowned as she leveled a look on Damien who looked away and averted his eyes."Really, you were saying something about that girl, what secret could you be hiding that you wouldn't want to tell me?"Lucien said something to Damien, his eyes were glazed then back to normal as he walked into his office and shut the door."Tell me" she pressed.Damien rolled his eyes dramatically and sighed, "Fine, but it's nothing much. Its just that Avery came from another pack not because we told her to but because...""Because...?" She prompted impatiently."..because she begged us to." He finished.She nodded her head with an understanding look in her eyes, "I see, so she had the hall eh?" she mumbled as she stoked her chin, Damien noticed this behavior."What are you thinking Jessica?"She blinked at him innocently. "Nothing"He gave her an like-i-believe-you look. "Right, yo
AVERY'S P.O.VI touched where he was pointing and winced a little, that was the place Alpha Lucien had bitten me, as an Omega, I'm very weak and sensitive to injuries, I also heal slow. He took a step closer as I wondered, sorry displayed on his face "Oh this, its fine sir. Alpha Lucien did this. He created the pack link for me""He...did?" His words were stilted as he growled out the words, his aura suddenly felt cold, I tilted my head up at him. He noticed my stare then he took a deep breath and pat his chest in a calming motion as he chuckled roughly."That's great, I mean...now you can communicate with us anytime you want now right....?" He clapped his hands together."Yes, that's right. And I'm glad that I know feel a connection with everyone here" I gushed out happily. Somewhere along the line, I had started to become comfortable around Sir Damien, I liked it but I was wise enough to know when not to cross the line. He was such a great boss that he told me that my only duty wa
AVERY'S P.O.V"Alpha" I bowed my head in greeting as I turned."Rise", he growled out low in his throat, I gasped a little but masked it with a cough, today he looked more dashing than ever. Was it because of the black suit he was wearing or maybe his man bun and the way his shirt was slightly unbuttoned revealing a patch of pale clear skin that made my imagination go wild."Good morning Alpha" I muttered as I cleared my throat in order to control my thoughts."What are you doing here?""Nothing...actually I was just taking a walk around the house to familiarize myself with everything and also because I'm not doing anything at the moment"He frowned at me as he dipped his hands in his pockets, damn, he looked so Alpha."Where is Damien?""Oh, Sir Damien left after he assigned me some chores to carry out in his bedroom""Bedroom?" A flash of alarm blared in his eyes, I tilted my head, curious."Yes""Like what?""Well, cleaning the room, doing his laundry" I shrugged a little, "...basi
AVERY'S P.O.V"You rejected, you refused, you have no right over any decision I make in my life. I'm sorry if this is rude but, I'm tired of people commanding me and telling me what to do. At least Sir Damien is polite to me all the time, that's all I need." I bowed my head and was about to leave when he stopped me with his voice."Did you say that your family disowned you? I thought you said you had no family. And what did you mean by your first mate was an alpha too?"Oh no! In my outburst, I must have blurted out those secrets I wished to keep to myself."Did I say that, I'm sorry, it was a mistake" I blustered."It was no mistake, you meant it when you said it. Answer me" he yelled loudly making me flinch."Erm..well..." I bit my lips in hesitation as I tried to think of something to say."Avery!" My head snapped up at the sound of my name, Sir Damien was bounding towards us, I smiled and breathed a sigh of relief as I saw him. Such was my relief that I ran to him."Sir Damien!""
AVERY'S P.O.VI was making Sir Damien's breakfast with gusto, he was a huge man and his appetite is huge too. So I made a whole plate of scarmbled eggs, three steaks, a large heap of fried bacon and a jug of coffee to go with everything. "There, all done""Oh I see breakfast is served, I'll have some" Jessica into the kitchen and tried to grab the tray, swiftly I took the tray away from her reach."Good morning, ma'am"She glared hotly at me but I pretended not to notice."Why are you keeping it away from me? Wait..." She held up a finger to her cheek and smirked, "...do you want to serve it to me on the dinning table? You should have said something, silly. I will be waiting" she turned to leave."I'm sorry, I won't be serving you."She stopped then turned back to me, her eyes were narrowed in question, her tight, mini leather skirt, pink crop top and her hair packed in a ponytail gave her the look of a barbie doll."What do you mean?""I said I won't be serving you" I repeated.She
AVERY'S P.O.V"Oh Avery, are you done for the day?""Well not really, I've been up since morning, I think I just need to rest my body and I will be up and about again""Tsk tsk. You young girls are always so fragile and get weak easily. Anyway, you have really tried for us here in the kitchen, helping us greatly even when you didn't need to. Thank you very much, go have your rest and I'll prepare a good meal for you" the kitchen head told me gently."Thank you ma'am, I'll be off now" I smiled as I left. I better make it a chore to ask for her name, I can't keep on dressing here as kitchen head even if that was what she was. I was heading back to my room when I stopped, someone was crying very hard and it was in one of the guest rooms. "Is there a ghost in this house? Because I don't remember anyone staying in those rooms, they have nobody in them, so who could be in there crying. And its such a sad cry" I whispered as I stood listening to the sound.I followed the mournful sound unti
THIRD PERSON P.O.VThe women were thoroughly soaked to the skin with water, their hair was matted and plastered to their body, their heavy makeup was already flowing down their faces giving them a scary look. Damien frowned as he could make out shrimp scales and pieces leafy vegetables. The heavy smell of fish permeated the air and made him step farther away from them. "How could this happen""Who did this? My hair! My makeup!" They all screamed as they accessed their bodies."I don't know what happened, are you girls okay?" Damien asked with concern in his face but he dared not giving near them."Sir Damien, please can you help us?""Yes, can we take a bath in your place, please" They both implored him but Damien hurriedly shook his head with a look of horror on his face. The idea of letting them back into the pack house and into his room, to be tormented by the bad smell of fish was not in any way alluring to him so he didn't care if they might think he was heartless and cruel."
THIRD PERSON P.O.V"What do you mean by Lucien has a mate?""Yes Sir Damien, we want to know. You just said that Alpha has a mate? Where is she? Who is she?" Elder Samson asked with curiosity flashing in his eyes.Damien's eyes darted to Lucien as he cleared his throat and muttered."That...was a mistake, I didn't...I didn't mean what i said....that he already had a mate"Jessica shook her head fervently with wide eyes which were still red as she came closer to stand in front to Damien."Damien, I know you and you don't randomly blurt out sensitive things like this, so please..." She clutched his hand, "...what you just said, is it true? Does he really have a mate that I don't know about?" she asked him desperately."Alpha, you have to know that you can't keep sensitive issues like this to yourself, do you really have a mate?" Elder Jesse asked calmly.Lucien stated at them, still not saying anything. Jessica seemed to have lost her patience and rushed to him. She knelt on the floor b
THIRD PERSON P.O.VThe sound of boot covered footsteps thudded along the hall as Damien walked slowly towards the pack meeting house. He had checked Lucien's office but he wasn't there so he was heading to the one place his brother might be, considering that his brother was a workaholic. He ran his hands through his hair as his lips pressed against each other in a thin line and his eyes narrowed into a frown, he wasn't proud of what he had said back in the room but he wasn't that eager to apologize."Oh well, lets just get it done." He mumbled to himself as he approached the door. His ears twicthed as he heard the voices of two Elder wolves which he was familiar with. With a sigh, he opened the door and then his eyes widened. "Alpha, you just have to choose one and make her your mate, that way, you can solve your problem of a mate and bring balance to the pack." Elder Samson, a man in his late forties with bushy brown hair and an ambitious gleam in his brown eyes spoke as he pushed
AVERY'S P.O.V"Damien!"I exclaimed in shock as he burst into the room. He looked angry, his hair was flying all over his face, he eyes were green but had a red tinge and his face was red with green veins pulsing on it. He rushed to me and pulled me towards him. I stared up at him as his hands snaked my waist protectively while he faced Alpha Lucien."What are you doing here Damien?" Alpha Lucien asked him with a glare as he crossed his hands on his chest."I should be asking you the same question Lucien. Why are you holding Avery in your room?""I was hungry, I ordered for my meal to be brought, she brought it but then I needed her to feed me because I was still tired, that's it" I blinked at him in wonder, so he can speak that much in one sentence, huh."And you couldn't find anyone else to do that? It had to be my own personal maid?"He shrugged as he spread his arms. "She came in here, I didn't call her? I was even surprised to see her with my meal."Damien looked at me, his eyeb
I'm at Alpha Lucien's door, my hands are raised and poised at the door but I can't knock. I don't want to knock but I have to and I will."You got this Avery" I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart then I knocked once, heard no response then knocked again."Come in" a gruff voice came from the other side, with a full I opened the door."Good afternoon Alpha, your lunch, I'll drop it here. If there is anything you need please let me know" I recited like a robot without looking up as I placed the tray on his table and began to back away."Avery?"I froze as I heard my name then with a straightening of my shoulders, I turned to face him with a professional smile on my face, not quite reaching my eyes."Yes sir"He was sitting on his bed, his long legs stretched out in front of him with a laptop on his laps, thank goodness he was wearing a shirt but still I could see the outline of his pecs and the way the shirt wrapped around his biceps tightly. His tattoos were left revealing and
AVERY'S P.O.VI decided not to dwell on any of these events that happened in my dream, what mattered is that I'm safe, at home with Damien and Alpha Lucien...Speaking of Alpha Lucien. My hands immediately flew to my lips."We kissed" I muttered, then I squealed and ducked under the blanket while I screamed some more and rolled on the bed. By the time I stopped, I was already tangled in the blanket and the bedsheets and my hair was a mess as it flopped all over my face. I blew a breath as I stared up at the ceiling."He kissed me"He kissed me, why didn't I behave like this yesterday when he did it. Was it because I was still coming down from the andrenaline shock of almost being killed and then being saved by him? Ahhhhhhhrg! He kissed me and I liked it no, I loved it. "He kissed my lips, why did he kiss me? Is he..."I shook my head, no way. There was no way he wanted me, I'm not worth anything to him so why would he want me. Then why did he kiss me? My hands rested on my lips as I
AVERY'S P.O.VI was standing in a field, no, I think its a forest. The place was filled with trees both huge and small, grasses, dried twigs and fallen branches littered the ground. I looked around trying to see where I was. Suddenly I gasped, I was in the forest, right Where Alpha Lucien had saved me from the huge bear. I knew that because I was standing right in front of the rock I had hit my head on. Immediately I thought that, I winced, slowly I pressed my fingers to my forehead. It felt wet there, I brought my hand back to see that it was stained with blood."But what am I doing here? Alpha Lucien and I already left this place. I could have sworn I slept in my bed last night" I mumbled out loud as I stared into the distance. Suddenly, a loud roar shook the forest and made me scream out in fear. I looked towards the sound and blanched in horror as I saw the huge bear that had attacked me before rushing with all its speed towards me. I screamed out again in fright. I thought Alpha
THIRD PERSON P.O.V"Dammit!" Lucien cursed madly as he burst into his room leaving the door to slam itself close. Veins were pulsing on his neck and forehead, his nostrils were flared as he breathed harshly. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he hadn't meant to lash out at Jessica but it had just happened. And to be honest, it felt good, he blamed himself for not doing so sooner."Avery"He muttered thickly as he flopped onto his soft bed and stared up at the white ceiling. His purple eyes were swirling with red tings. He was jealous and madly so. He saw the relieved look on her face immediately she saw Damien and rushed to meet him. Her eyes twinkled and shine with interest as she looked up at him and spoke to him. Something red and fury kept hitting him in his chest that all those looks were supposed to be directed at him.'You decided to reject her. If you want her back then you have to accept her again and make us whole.'"Like hell I will..." he gritted out then he sighed a
