AVERY'S P.O.V"What did you forget?" I asked him again, he raised his head, a deep frown was etched onto his face which already had a few days growth of stubble. He turned to look at me."We can't leave the forest today""Huh!" I asked, maybe I didn't hear him right."We can't leave, not today" he repeated again."Why?"He looked forward and stared at where the invisible wall stood and pointed."Do you see that area?""The place that won't let us through?""Yes" he nodded sagely."Yes I do""That is the border between this forest and our pack, once the sun comes down it closes and won't open until the next day morning""Really" I listened to him stunned, so there was such a thing here."You can think of it as a way the forest spirits protects the pack from wild animals and at the same time protects the forest from other people that might hurt it" he explained as he began to turn. Silently I followed him as he moved, his eyes were bright and alert as he searched for something."Um Alph
AVERY'S P.O.VLightning cracked over us and rain drops began to plop down to the earth from the sky, this brought us out of our staring stupor and we both rushed inside the cave, making sure to not scrape our heads. The cave was surprisingly spacious and wide enough for both Alpha Lucien and I to stand straight, the ground was already covered in multiple leaves and branches. I'm guessing this might have been the cave of a huge animal like a bear. I blinked at the thought that we could be in the cave of the bear that tried to kill me, the thought of another bear in here gave me goosebumps and I shuddered."Are you cold?" Alpha Lucien spoke starting me out of my thoughts, I rushed to refuse but he was already pulling off his jacket."No, I'm not cold....oh....um thank you" I muttered as he placed his jacket around my shoulders. His jacket was huge and warm, I discreetly sniffed and sighed from the dreamy, musky scent wafting into my nose. Wait! My eyes snapped open, we still have somethi
AVERY'S P.O.V"....yes sir" I gulped and immediately stood up, I waited for him to get to the other side. I grinned as I saw him sigh and let his body go lax as he laid down but then I got confused as I wondered if I should sleep beside him or get a new spot. I decided to get a new spot but as I moved away, he called me back."Where are you going?""Um, I'm trying to find a new spot"He turned and gave me his back, "You can sleep here, I won't bite you"Well you literally can, I thought to myself but silently, I nodded and laid down on my side. My eyes were alert even as I closed my eyes because I was too overly aware of his body behind me. His body heat rolled off in waves towards me and I stifled the urge to move closer to him. I knew the way I moved when I sleep and so I resolved not to sleep. I waited until I heard the deep breathing and light snores he was making then I stood up and went to sit on the stone where he had sat down initially when we had first gotten here. The sound o
AVERY'S P.O.V"I said what are you doing with Luci's jacket?" I lowered my head again, not because I felt guilty or embarrassed but because I was really not in the mood to tolerate her and rolling my eyes were inevitable so lowered my head to roll my eyes in attitude. I raised my head back up again, Alpha Lucien was standing beside her watching me, his eyes were shining, whether in amusement or anger, I had no idea. I scoffed at him internally, he was the one who had handed the jacket to me so why was I the one being questioned."Avery, just give him back the jacket" Damien told me gently. With a sigh, I pulled off the jacket and handed it to Alpha Lucien who took it back silently, I mourned the loss of the warm jacket and its alluring scent but I kept it to myself."I was going to. Alpha Lucien gave that to me yesterday because I felt cold" I stared into her eyes on purpose, if I wanted to, I could have said that he had given me the jacket because he thought I had been cold but that
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
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
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
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.V"You guys remember I told you that I had a mate who rejected me before you right?"Lucien frowned. "Yes""Well, he is actually in that pack too and he rejected me for my older sister.""But I thought you said he was an alpha" Damien askedI shrugged, "He was going to marry my sister and he was my father's beta's son. So to me, he seemed already like an alpha. But in hindsight maybe I should have made it clear""I'm not inviting them" Lucien growled"I agree" "No problem, but is it because he was my ex mate or because he rejected me for my sister?" I asked with a raised eyebrows.Lucien turned away and headed for the door."Both. Go to sleep""Goodnight Avery" Damien took me into a high as he whispered gently, I took a whiff of his scent. He smelled like cologne."Goodnight Damien"*********************************"Okay, all I have to do is shift in mid air and attack so why can't I do it?" I groaned out in frustration as I stared at the tree that had lost a few of it b
AVERY'S P.O.V"So...I'm actually not an orphan"I gazed at each of them to gauge their expressions, the two stared intently at me then shared a look, their eyebrows were lifted and their eyes were wide open. I rubbed my sweaty hands against my shirt."I was actually a normal girl, treated like a princess until it was discovered that I was an omega unlike my family of alphas." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "My parents are actually Alpha Maxine and Luna Mara""What!""How"They stared at me, mouth open, eyes wide and pupils round."But, I saw how they treated you, it was akin to how a slave is treated" Damien grunted with balled fists."Can you please continue Avery" Lucien nodded at me."As I was saying, I was a normal girl, I was the last child of my parents and they loved me dearly, they used to shower me with love and affection. Even though it was apparent that I was a bit different from my siblings considering the rare color of my hair, they still loved me" I stared at m
AVERY'S P.O.VAfter I was finally put down by the pack member and everyone has settled and gone back to their homes, I ran excited to Lucien."I did it, I did it. I told you I could do it" I squealed around him while pumping my fists into the air. He laughed as he watched me, his eyes narrowing into slits as he suddenly picked me up and spun me around."Ahh, Lucien! I'm covered in blood, you'll stain your clothes" I yelled as he held me."Its okay, its just clothes. I'm happy that you are safe and you did well."Pleasure filled my whole body as he said this, I let my body relax against his chest and took in his earth delicious smell, it seemed to calm me down. "Thank you for letting me do it, I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't let me" I murmured against his chest."No" his chest vibrated as he answered, "You were the one who did everything, I thought you were too weak to do anything but you proved me wrong by going out there and getting not one but two big deer's, if you haven't g
AVERY'S P.O.VI was in my wolf form in the middle of the forest, my eyes and ears were alert as I tried to take in my surroundings. The morning had come by so quickly, I barely slept due to how nervous I was. So I was up and ready early to face my fate. The pack members were already waiting for me as I stepped outside the pack house, everyone was here except for Damien and Lucien oh and Jessica. According to tradition, no member if the alpha family is meant to see me off, though it would have been reassuring to see Damien or Lucien and I might regret saying this, Jessica. But I was here now, praying and hoping I could come out of this victorious. I decided to go deeper, I'm sure I could find prey in there. So quietly, as my instincts could guide me, I hunched shoulders keeping my body low. I waited about twenty minutes then I heard a shuffle a few feet away from me. I hurried over there, there were two deers there, and they were fat and meaty. I knew if I attacked now, I would only be
AVERY'S P.OVI was running, running fast. Don't worry, I was running away, I'm not that much of a coward. I was actually running to Lucien, he was going to explain to me why I have to hunt and why he didn't let me know and when was he planning on doing so. I think in my haste, I forgot to knock and so I pushed the door open."Lucien, we need to talk right.....Oh my god!" I screamed as I turned away while covering my eyes."What are you doing here?""I..I'm so sorry. I just need to s... speak to you about something"Lucien was naked, I mean butt naked and he was holding his huge junk in his hand. I might have a wild guess here if I said he had to have been masturbating and I caught him at the wrong time. He didn't say another word, I heard shufflings, maybe he was dressing, hopefully covering everything. Did you see his chest? There were muscles in the muscles. His member look was huge, like if I ever got lucky, I hope he would use it on me. Damn."What is it you wanted to speak" he as
AVERY'S P.O.V"Ah, I slept so good" I yawned immediately I woke up. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. My eyes were still blurry as I knocked on Damien's room."Oh Avery, good morning" Damien greeted immediately he opened the door."Good morning Damien. I'm sorry I woke up late. What duties do I have to do today, do you need your breakfast now?"Damien stared at me with a look of of horror and confusion."Damien what is wrong?"He immediately dragged me into his room and closed the door."Avery what were you thinking?""What?" I shrugged, very confused myself.He ran a hand over his face."Avery you are the Luna now, why would you come here to serve me?"I frowned at him, "but I am your maid""You are the Luna""Which I wasn't until yesterday so what can stop me from serving you?".Suddenly, the door burst open."Me"Lucien walked towards me with an angry look on his face, he grabbed my hand and levelled me a glare."What are you doing here?""I'm here to car
AVERY'S P.O.V"Alpha Lucien, I accept you as my mate. Not because I want to but because i know it is important for the pack...."I stared straight at him as I spoke, though my legs were shaking a bit from all the attention focused on me. I took a deep breath as I continued, "...I know I'm not what you were expecting as a mate and your Luna and I understand that. When and if you find the Luna that will suit your pack and your expectations, I will step down readily.""Like hell you will, I do not agree to this" Jessica shrieked as she ran in front of me, her face was twisted in anger as she balled her fists at me. I moved back a bit to avoid her hands."You. I won't let you take him, I won't let you have him. Like you said, you don't deserve him at all.""Lady Jessica, that is enough...." Martha snapped as she stood in front of her,"...I think its high time someone told you that your actions are not reasonable. Alpha Lucien is your brother not your husband nor your mate. You have no rig
AVERY'S P.O.V"I accept you as my mate," Lucien declared again, his voice firm and authoritative as he glanced round the pack dating anyone to oppose. The pack fell silent, they all stared at me awaiting my response. I'm sure they are all waiting for me to accept him. But I won't, I can't. I'm not worth of him and I'm sure I will only be a stain in his name. I'm sure he had no choice in this. Jessica coupled with the elders stressing on him getting a mate must have driven him to the wall. I raised my eyes slowly to look into his eyes, if I was foolish and didn't know anything, I would have accepted just by looking at his face. His eyes were dark and appeared sincere, but I knew that underneath those emotions was a man tired and desperate for peace. I slowly shook my head, his eyebrows rose high into his forehead.'I'm not yet sure, please let me think about it'Then without glancing at anyone, I ran into the house and raced to my room. Before reaching up to my door, I could tell that
AVERY'S P.O.VThe whole place was quiet after Jessica's outburst. Everyone stared at me in shock as they began to murmur."I knew something was fishy about her""She just came to our pack suddenly and worked her way up to alpha Lucien""Do you think she knew she was his mate?""And she is an omega, she is not fit to be our Alpha's mate"I stayed silent in the midst of all these numbers, there was nothing I could do but mope with my eyes wide open as I stared at everyone. "Alpha, is it true? She is your mate?"An elder stepped forward with an incredulous look on his wrinkled face. "We already knew you had a mate but...her? Is she really?" Another elder asked.Lucien was silent so I glanced at him so I could hear him speak but it seemed like he had no intention speaking because his face was impassive as he stared down at Jessica who maybe might have realized that she had messed up. She was biting her lips and wringing her hands as she glanced occasionally at Lucien but not meeting my e
