I carried Avery in my arms as I took her with me into my room and headed straight to the bathroom.
"My Lord, please…"
"Shhhh." I said gently as I placed her on the marble counter in the bathroom as I looked around for the first aid kit. "I didn't expect them to be so cruel here in Silverwood."
I placed the first aid box beside her and took her hand which she tried to pull away but I held her tightly. "I can't let you do this my lord. I'm just a servant here and it is nothing you should worry about." She said with sincerity and fear in her voice.
"You could be more than that." I said as I brushed the strand of hair from her face and she looked at me confused.
"What do you mean by that, my lord?" She asked but I didn't say anything. I just took her hand and applied the ointments I found there to her wound. I wondered why she hadn't been healed by now but her healing process seems to be really slow.
"You just got your wolf." I said to her and she nodded in affirmation, still wondering how I figured out. "Your wolf is soft and gentle."
I didn't want to say the word weak because her wolf was obviously weak, not being able to heal them together.
My fingers moved gently across the wound on her palm. As she told me she just got her wolf, I wondered if she already found her mate but I didn't say a word and just kept on cleaning and tending to the wound.
"Have you found your mate?" I finally asked. "Since you just got your wolf and your senses are still sharp enough to recognize your mate quickly."
"I have." She said and I don't know why, my heart sank for a few seconds. "But I'll rather not talk about it." The unspoken pain in her eyes and the dull look on her face made the answer obvious. She was rejected by her mate.
Who is such a fool to reject her, seeing how beautiful she is despite being in old clothes. I don't know if she was originally clumsy but that might have added to her clumsiness or it was the reason she was out by the river.
As strands of hair fell across her face, I softly brushed them aside and she looked up at me gently.
"You could be more than you are now, Avery." I said and she looked at me with innocence. "You're beautiful and any man would want you for his mate."
A hue of pink formed on her cheeks as she moved away from my touch and slipped to stand on her feet.
"Thank you very much Alpha Devon. Thank you for your time." She bowed before she hurriedly rushed out of the room and I could not help but run my fingers through my hair.
"I want her." I heard my wolf and I nodded gently. "I want her too."
Left alone, my thoughts swirled with concern for Avery. Just by what I'd seen during dinner, I knew she was being bullied and even the slightest thing she did, she started to cry.
Just as I paced around my room as I pulled off my shirt, I heard a knock on the door and Asher walked in with a file in his hand.
"We have some details about her now, my alpha. Not much but it is enough to know a few things about her." Asher said as he handed me the file and I took it from him immediately.
"Make sure you keep an eye on her while we stay here too, starting tonight. I want to see how she is being treated by the alpha's son and his woman." I said and he nodded.
I sat on the sofa as I pulled the file open but just then, another knock interrupted me and I looked up to see Asher go to get it. A miad walked in with a cart which had a tray of covered plates on them.
As soon as her gaze fell on me, I could see her blush and it irritated me.
"Lady Stella asked me to bring this dinner for Alpha Devon since he didn't have much of his dinner before leaving." She said to Asher who looked at me.
"Please send Alpha's greetings to the lady for her kind gesture." Asher said as he took the cart from her and hurried her out of the room, also noticing the way she was looking at me.
I ignored everything else and started scanning through the file to see what they had found about her. Everyone in the pack calls her a rogue and she had been an outcast right since she was younger.
Her scent completely contradicted what I just read. Her scent wasn't wild and rebellious like those associated with rogues.
Her scent was like that of the softest and kindest wolf you would ever meet and I was confused with how they saw rogues to how I did.
"Are you sure this is correct?" I asked Asher and he nodded affirmatively that everything I just read was correct and none of it was wrong. "Is this how all packs behave? Just labeling innocent wolves as rogues?"
"It is rumored that her parents too were well known rogues before they were killed so it most probably might be true that she came from the lineage of rogues." Asher said and that only angered me more. "There is probably more to her story and this is just what they all thought."
"This is absurd. I want to see Lucien tonight and talk about her with him." I said as I stood up, picking my shirt and Asher followed me gently as I walked towards the main hall where Lucien was sitting with Stella in his arms and Avery cleaning a spilled juice, which angered me.
"Oohh, Alpha Devon. Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked and I nodded my head affirmatively.
"Ooh yes there is. I will be leaving your pack with a package." I said with my arms folded across my chest.
"And what is that alpha?"
"Avery."

Avery 's POVI rushed out of Alpha Devon's room with my face burning. I had this weird flip in my stomach and I remembered having it the time I was excited that Lucien was my mate. I didn't know what Alpha Devon meant that I could be more than what I am now but it made me curious about what he actually meant by that. I walked out of the hallway leading to his room and met Lucien sitting in the main hall with Stella in his arms as they chuckled while watching the TV.I quietly tried to sneak away but Stella saw me. "Oohh, she is finally out. Now feeling like she is someone special because an Alpha took notice of her." Stella stood up and Lucien threw me a dirty glance from where he sat."No I am not…" "Don't you dare talk while I'm talking." Stella thundered as her hand landed on my face again. "I have the power to destroy you in an instant.""Why are you doing this to me?" I asked with tears forming in my eyes and she threw her head back in laughter as she looked down at Lucien."S

Avery's POVEveryone turned to look at Alpha walking in through the door and everyone in the room bowed, which made me hurriedly stand up and bow my head too."What is going on here?" He asked as he walked towards us. "Alpha Devon , you are here already.""Good evening Alpha." Alpha Devon said and I used that opportunity to slip away from them. I don't know exactly what was going on but it seemed extra.I couldn't believe both Alpha Devon and Lucien were about to rip each other's throats out because of me.After the whole building was quiet, I slipped out of the house and walked back to the river where I had seen Alpha Devon earlier tonight. I never thought he was the one once and I just ran from the place to avoid being seen out of the pack house.I walked over to the river and sat at the edge, taking a deep breath. I suddenly felt this heaviness in my chest and I couldn't help but burst into tears. I have been told in times like these, your wolf would always be there to comfort y

Avery's POVThe stinging feeling of a slap landed on my cheeks and I fell to the ground. I didn't know how to react after he slapped me. I didn't know if I should cry or just keep quiet."So you started disobeying orders and sneaking out with him right? Well, well done Avery. Cheapen yourself and make just anyone take you out when you have a mate." He said with a scorn and I scoffed, looking up at him."I don't have a mate, you rejected me, remember?" I said and he looked down at me in disbelief. "I don't understand why you are treating me like this. Let's just return to before you ever knew I was your mate. I was invisible to you and you were to me. I'm begging you." I pleaded with tears rolling down my cheeks.I didn't understand why he wasn't acting like this at all. If he wants me or wants to claim I am his mate when he sees me with another man, then he should have just accepted the mate bond.A devilish smirk appeared on his lips as he squatted before me and grabbed my chin harsh

Devon 's POVAnger was all I felt throughout my stay here in Silverwood pack. For two days, I haven't seen Avery and Lucien refused to say anything about her."I don't see why you are interested in my servant Alpha Devon . You can have anyone in the pack except her and Stella." Lucien said and I scoffed."You have to choose one, Lucien . It is either her or Stella. But I will advise you to stick with Stella because I want Avery and there is nothing you can do about that." I said to him and he laughed mockingly."There is nothing I can do? Look around Devon . You are in my pack and any stupid action from you can cost you your life and alliance with this pack. You know you need as much as you can find because you're just stepping on that throne." He said with a small smile and what he said did make sense. "So think twice before you cross me, Alpha Devon ."After saying that, he turned and let me there, standing, enraged. I walked back to my room and Caleb could feel my anger when he s

Avery's povAfter few hours, we finally arrived at Devon's pack. It was not as large as silver wood but it was quaint and homely." I hope I made the right decision" I pondered internally and sighed." Come " I snapped out of my daydream after Devon called out to me. I placed my hands in his as he lead us into the pack house." Welcome Alpha" a middle age woman greeted curtseyimg gently."Anna , this is Avery, can you please show her to the room after mine"? Anna looked up at Devon in shock and confusion." Your quarters ,Alpha"? She asked taken aback." Yes Anna, I'm sure you heard me the first time"." Come with me " she says, looking towards me. I followed her with my little duffel bag like an headless chicken. We arrived at the last floor, which had three bedrooms." This is your bedroom, the last one down the hall is Alpha Devon's, don't trespass"! She warned lightly.We stepped into the bedroom assigned to me and I gasped out loud. It was large with huge windows on either side.

Isabella's povAlpha Devon had brought home a mate, this was the news I heard upon leaving my quarters, I was shocked. It had been too sudden, I hadn't even heard of him making any preparations whatsoever.I paced around the room, panic-stricken. I had to do something. Alpha Devon was mine and mine to claim alone and I won't let anyone steal him from me, not even his chosen mate.I knew I had to do something, I couldn't let alpha Devon fall for her. I paced around for a bit and then decided I was going to get closer to her. I need to know her better, after all, she was my rival.I changed my dress into a simple red gown that flowed freely to my feet. I looked in the mirror and adjusted my hair. I smiled when I finally felt satisfied then I left for the main castle to look for the new bride.I didn't need to search for long, as I entered the kitchen, I ran into a girl almost the same age as me."I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention" I exclaimed feigning guilt.

Lucien's POVI walked into my room to find Stella already waiting for me in bed. She was naked, her long blond hair hanging past the front of her neck and shielding her nipples from view. This didn't turn me off, instead, it turned me on even more.I growled, this woman knew just how to get me. I had been angry and tense throughout my meeting with that pesky alpha Devon and now, I can channel all of those anger into fucking her.“I'm very angry right now, are you sure you want me to fuck you?” I warned.She just chuckled, laying back and raising her legs to show me her wet pussy. It was pink and looked very clean, it had clear viscous liquid slipping out of it. She was very wet.“You know I like it rough.” She said. She stood up from the bed, waking to meet me halfway as we smashed our lips together. We kissed roughly, fighting for dominance as we swapped spots and tangled with our tongues.I grabbed her ass and pulled her up, her legs wrapped around me tightly as we grind bodies. I c

Lucien's POVI walked back to my room, ignoring Stella's questions and stepping into the bathroom to bathe. I washed myself thoroughly without rushing, alpha Devon wasn't going anywhere.I came out of the bathroom, cleaned myself up and dressed. I wore black pants, a black shirt laced with golden edges and a golden corset. I did nothing to my hair, leaving it in the usual style.I wore no jewelry except a pair of golden cufflinks and then I wore a pair of high sole black boots. I looked in the mirror and nodded my head in approval. This was my war dress, it was also the same style of dress I wore to funerals.If I was going to fight, I might as well kill the opponent in the process to tie up loose ends. I walked out of my room and headed towards the exterior of the building where I had previously ordered the guards to wait for me.I walked at a steady pace, my aura primed to its peak state. As I passed, whoever I came across made sure to avoid eye contact. All except one, Donovan.As

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
