Avery's pov

We travelled in silence, the old man led the way and I quietly followed behind. We had been walking for two days already. We travelled almost every time and we barely got any sleep, the only time we rested was when we stopped to eat.

The old man would leave me to hunt and when he was done, he would roast the meat and we would eat it together. He usually catches small animals like rabbits, that way, we would finish it in one sitting.

He made sure to cook only during the day and he was very careful with the wind direction. He was a professional making sure we weren't caught.

His cooking wasn't the best but it was something, although I was tired, at least I wasn't starving, I knew how weak I would've been if we were travelling without rest while starving.

A few minutes later, the old man suddenly paused and then he changed his direction, motioning for me to do the same. We walked for a few kilometres and then we arrived at a cave.

We got into the cave, it was pretty dark insi

    Lucien's POVI walked through the forest, my senses were heightened as I looked for signs of any trail that Avery might have left behind.I had begun to track her down since I left my pack. I had no idea where she was but that didn't mean I was lost. I knew Devon was going to send his people to find her as soon as possible.With a few troubles, I managed to track down Devon's men. I didn't bother taking them down, my pack was going to do that. My top priority is to catch up to Avery.I stayed around them for a few hours, listening to any information they had about her whereabouts and the rest was pretty easy.After I found out about her general direction, I headed towards it and in a few hours I had caught a whiff of her scent. It had been particularly easy because she was my mate.When I finally laid my eyes on her, I felt my chest tighten. She looked so frail and her figure was haggard, her simple gown was torn and I could see bruises on her. She must have been through a lot. I sigh

    Devon's povI stood in front of the mirror, my gaze was frosty and I felt so much fury within me. I was angry at everyone and I kept getting even more furious.I was angry at myself for not taking extra precautions to ensure Avery never escaped, I was furious that I had allowed her to escape, I was furious that I hadn't killed that damn old man. If I had, there would have been no one to help Avery escape.I knew she probably knew about her father now and it made me even angrier. That man mustn't know about what I did to Avery, he was a terrifying figure and I don’t want to get on his bad side.I was angry at Isabella, I was angry that I had been so overcome by my lust and stupid sense of self that I hadn't been able to keep her in check.She had contributed the most to this situation, I should have kept her in check, I should have warned her but now it was too late. The situation has spiralled out of control.I was angry at my pack for being useless, they had been searching for Avery

    Isabella's povI stormed into my room in anger, my chest was rising and falling and I was very mad.“What do you think you were doing provoking Alpha Devon!!!!” I shouted at Roan.“I'm sorry my queen, I just couldn't bear to watch him insult you like that.” He replied and I could see the panic in his face but right now I didn't care, I was furious at him and he needed to be punished.“LEAVE!!” I screamed at him.He looked at me in shock, his eyes welling up in tears. His expression became dejected when he noticed that I meant my words and he slowly turned around and left the room.I screamed in frustration and I stormed across the room. I felt mad that I didn't have anything to break, to throw across the room. Alpha Devon had made sure to warn me not to destroy my room again.That fool, what was he thinking getting in alpha Devon's bad side? Now he was going to be suspicious! Alpha Devon mustn't find out about me and Roan.Lately, he had become even colder than usual, we barely had an

My mind flashed back to when she had seen me, her hand had trembled and her eyes were filled with fear.It broke my heart that I had become such a monster to her but I'm not going to feel any self-pity. I was going to slowly redeem myself starting from today.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Devon asked and I chuckled at his response.“You have a lot of nerve asking me that. Do you think you stand a chance?”His eyes narrowed at my statement, I could tell that he knew too. He was no match for me, either in terms of pack power or individual power.“Why? Why did you treat her like that? You said you fucking love her!!” I

    Avery's povThe old man ran in front while I lagged behind, I was confused. Why did Alpha Lucien help me? Or was I just delusional and in actuality, he didn't give a fuck and just wanted to fight with alpha Devon.Yeah, that must be it, there was no way in hell that Alpha Lucien did that to help me, after all, he was one of the sources of my misery.But no matter the reason, if I had the opportunity, I had to thank him. I didn't want to owe him anything and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.My mind wandered to the old man, my eyes narrowed as I stared at him from behind. What if Alpha Lucien hadn't arrived, what if Alpha Devon had caught us?Moreover, I was more suspicious that Alpha Devon even appeared. That route was supposed to be a secret route and the fact that Alpha Devon had appeared to have been waiting for us meant he knew where we were headed.I wanted to question the old man but there was no time right now. After a while of running, we finally came to what looked

    Avery's povI followed behind the old man who was following after the guard. I was surprised that the guard had let us in easily but I guess they were not the most powerful pack for nothing, they probably had their safety measures.I walked faster and caught up with the old man. I nudged him with my shoulder and smiled at him,“Lazarus?” I asked with a teasing smile.The old man scrunched up his nose and chuckled while shaking his head.“Believe it or not, it is my real name.” He replied.“Wow, I've never heard something so old-fashioned.” I mocked and the old man Lazarus laughed.“Well, you can just call me Lazarus or old man Lazarus.” He said, raising his chin in pride.“Why would I want to do that? I like old man just fine.” I smiled at him and he faked a frown but soon laughed out loud. I joined him in laughing and the guard looked at us strangely.We went quiet for a while until old man Lazarus spoke up again, this time, there was a gentle smile on his face.“A smile suits you be

    Avery's pov I left the room and entered the corridor and I began to stroll through the castle. I marvelled at the sight, it was different from alpha Lucien's or alpha Devon's own.The castle was built in a Renaissance style and it had beautiful paintings all around. I walked past the maids and some guards, and I greeted them as simply as possible. I didn't want to start making friends right off the bar, I didn't even think I could trust someone again.I checked out some of the rooms, there were paintings in some and I even found a greenhouse in one. I had been stopped from entering by the guard though and I had to peek from outside but I still thought it was beautiful.I continued walking forward and then I came to the front of a large double door. It looked like a throne room and I was cautious to not peep inside. The alpha might be taking these people.I made another turning and I saw what looked like the door to the dining room. My stomach grumbled and I knew I was very hungry. Ol

Tears began streaming down her face but her smile remained and I felt my heart ache.I ran up to her and hugged her tight and her slender arms hugged me back. We cried in each other's arms for a long time. I felt like I was finally whole like everything was finally okay. I felt complete.After another few minutes of crying, I felt like I had no tears left anymore. I have been crying a lot of late but these tears were one I was happy with. They were happy tears and I would never want to stop them.I pulled away from her and I looked into her eyes, we stared at each other and then we began to cry again.“Hey!! Not fair. You didn't cry as much when you saw me! You only cried once!!” My father complained and we both laughed.We finally stopped crying and I pulled away from her. We walked into a small shed in the garden and sa

    Lucien's Pov Walking down the aisle was one thing I never imagined I would do. The thought of walking down a path lined with roses and a red carpet, and holding someone in my arms beside me that I promised to love and care for, seeming like a foreign concept. It felt weird to think that I had finally been humbled. And that I had finally been brought to my knees to consider love as anything more than erotic pleasure. It still felt strange to me that I had actually gotten here. To this point? And a part of me really felt proud.I never thought I would get here and I never thought I would actually get married… I had feared I would end up living and dying as hedonistic. But I guess miracles happen, and this just happened to be mine. I was happy even though I was a bit confused and tepid. I looked courageous and smug but I was still scared internally. I feared my old habits would come back to haunt me. And I worried I wouldn't be the best husband for Avery… She was a beautiful soul and ho

    Avery's PovTwo months later The crowd had gathered for the festivities and the courtyard was full of life. The entirety of Silverwood had been called for this occasion and everyone with ears had heeded the call. The streets were lined with people, stalls and activity. Musicians filled the streets with instruments and sounds. Some of the stalls filled with ale and the people were aloof and afloat. Food was bountiful. As steaks rolled over fires and men sold rottiserie chicken and smoked seasoned salmon over counters. The energy all around contagious. No single soul lost or sad or broken. Everyone, irrespective of class or status had come and were happy. All needs were met and all wants provided. It had been two months now and the town of Silverwood had gone from chaos and fighting to peace and tranquility. The people had reached a calm and began rebuilding. The torn ties, the distrust and the loss. The grieving families had been supported and helped to move on. Everyone was slowly an

    Luciens's PovI held her in my hands and I just couldn't contain the feeling. The rush of energy I felt inside and the lightness in my head. Her body was soft and her motion was gentle. I held her close and she sighed quietly; her soft moans driving me crazy as we held each other. I didn't know I could feel this way. And I didn't know I could feel so in love. The state I was in wasn't one of lust or to have her in bed. I held her in my arms now and the only thing I wanted was to have her there. The only thing I wanted was to hold her close and hold her forever…Avery was everything and Avery was beautiful. Her hands around me as she tried to sink into my skin. I could feel her getting closer and edging closer. I could feel her wanting to close the gap and want to be near me. I could feel her energy matched mine and that she wanted me as much as much as I wanted her. The sparks lighting up and almost written in the skies. I really didn't want to let go but I had to. I didn't really wan

    Avery's PovI woke up now in a gasp. My breathing heavy as I glanced in every direction frantically. I shot out of the chair or bed or whatever I was resting on and got up to my feet. I turned every which way, my eyes swinging from one side of the room to another. Then shooting up to the ceiling to see if what I had seen in my dream wasn't a dream. And if it had been real…It felt too real not to be and I deeply hoped it wasn't just hallucinations. As I looked up at the ceiling to find the carved statuettes but instead I saw a blank ceiling made of wood. I looked around for the white dress. With the veil and the mannequin? But I saw nothing. And now I quickly turned to look for Lucien. To see him maybe in the suit I had seen him in. To see his hair, and to see him smiling wide at me the way I had seen him. With the box in his hand. To hear his voice and hear him explain how he wanted to marry me. And how he had made plans for the wedding. And all he needed was a yes…But I turned arou

    Avery's PovI woke up confused and I didn't know where I was at first. I struggled to open my eyes and also to keep my vision steady. My eyes opening slowly like curtains and my body feeling weird between my legs. I felt a sharp pain in my hips and I could feel my thighs quake slightly. I looked down at myself to see that I was in robes?... I looked up and I didn't recognise where I was. The room in front of me is different from the one I remembered. The design different from the room I last saw myself in. The windows were wide and open, the curtains were drawn to the sides to let in light. And I found myself on a bigger bed. The sheets very soft and delicate in my hands as I rested on it with my palm, turning my head sideways trying to figure out where I was.“Rise and shine princess…” I suddenly heard a voice call. And I frowned and turned slowly. My head still hurting slightly and my legs strangely weak and tired. I managed to complete the turn and I was surprised to see Lucien stan

    Stella's PovIt just didn't feel right… and it just didn't make any sense. Yet it was all my reality… After all these years of hatred. To only come to realise I was hating my own blood?... That I was hating what I was supposed to love, and loving what I was supposed to hate?... The thought of being abused and used without even realising it made me shiver. I had been lied to so long and so well I couldn't even tell the difference. The lines between what was real and what was false blurring together into one vague absolute. I just couldn't believe the wool had been pulled over my eyes for so long. I had been blinded and led like a sheep and I thought I knew what I was doing? I thought I was right? I thought I was fighting for a good cause?... That my intentions were justified, and the allies were the enemies while the real enemies were actually the allies. I had gone against sensible reason and veered off wildly, and now it made me question my own self?... To believe that I was this

    Lucien's PovI pulled out as she convulsed and came all over everything. The sheets and her dress was soaking wet and her hands by her side with her mouth open in a gentle sigh. She had quickly reached climax in just a few strokes and I wondered if I was that good or she was just very invested in the moment? Or even worse, she was just faking it?... I climbed off and let her lie there. I buckled my belt back in place and released a sigh myself. The moment short but the feeling mutual. Avery was a beautiful being, and down there she was tight. I was surprised at how I flowed through in and out seamlessly. Each stroke leaving her moaning loudly and gasping in short bursts. Her body jerking at every motion, her fingers gripping my legs, trying to hold on, and trying not to pass out. Trying not to let the rush send her unconscious. Her moans soon turned into cries, her eyes wet as it was seemingly too much for her. I wanted to stop but each time she moaned I only went deeper. Her cries ac

    Avery's PovI was glad I had seen this coming. I was happy to have seen this beforehand and prevented it. As the guards came in now just at the exact moment. The guards came in now just at the exact time Lucien would have been deep inside me and too far gone to cover up and rationalise. I was happy I held myself accountable; and held myself accountable for both our reputations…As the two guards now stood at the door with several clothes in hand, all of them folded and all of them in the shape of dresses. With different colours and different designs. I stood there frowning in confusion as they stood with their hands out and their waist slightly bent in a saluted pose. Their chins raised and their heads high.“We have brought the clothes sire…” The leading guard called. “The one you asked for, for the benevolent lady of yours…”And the guards tone surprised me. His aggressive voice had gone down a baritone lower. And he now sounded more like a butler than a guard. And the way he talked

    Avery's PovI held his hand and he closed his eyes again. This time relaxing and not trying to pull away. He let my palm touch his and then closed his eyes. The exchange of energy making him ease into calm and his legs suddenly twitch. I saw his feet move slightly and then again. Before he opened his eyes and then let go. Immediately moving himself forward and getting out of bed, standing on his feet and turning around. “Being paralysed is a curse really…” he smiled, staring directly at me. His perfect teeth showing in full view. He looked suddenly refreshed and revitalised. The look on his face far from someone who was just sick.I smiled back at him not knowing what else to do. I watched him spin on his heels and click his feet in a hopscotch. He had suddenly lost his stern austerity and now was as giddy as a horse… “Are you okay Alpha?...” I asked now, frowning with my head down slightly. But he only turned towards me with his smile growing bigger. “Never been better, and thank
