Lucien's POV

Six months later

I stood on the balcony, gazing out into the sky. I have been doing this a lot lately. It had been six months since Avery's welcome party and the announcement of coronation.

I've been uneasy since then. Would Avery still want to accept me as her mate after she forgives me if she already has such a large pack backing her? I couldn't leave my father's pack and she obviously couldn't leave hers also.

I was torn, I didn't know what to do and even Esme was at a loss of ideas. I had tried multiple times to get in touch with her since that night but I couldn't.

I had gone to the welcome party that night and except for when Avery had arrived, I hadn't gotten a chance to look at her again. Unfortunately for me, I just so happened to be seated fat away from her.

I could have just used my abilities but in a gathering like that, using my wolf abilities would be noticed by stronger alphas and it would be deemed rude. I didn't want to offend her parents.

    Avery's pov Where am I? Where is this?I looked around, everywhere was dark and I couldn't see anything. I was terrified and alone. I was supposed to do something but I couldn't remember.I had this nagging feeling at the back of my mind telling me that I had forgotten something important but I couldn't place my finger around it. I was lost and confused so I just sat there in the darkness curled up like a ball.I felt safe and at peace but for some reason, I was scared of that peace, I was slowly sinking deeper into it and it made me want to leave everything behind.Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was a bit familiar and it made my body twitch.“Avery?” The voice had said in a questioning way. Who was Avery and why could I hear this voice? Who was the owner of this voice?Suddenly I felt a strong suction pull at me and before I knew it, I had arrived at what looked like a cell. In the cell were two young ladies, one was slapping and insulting the other.The oppressing lady held the othe

    Avery's pov Avery….. AveryI heard a voice calling out my name and I opened my eyes, this time, I was in a white space. I looked around, behind me was a black statue of ice and I knew that that was me. But how was I able to open my eyes?When I looked closer, I realized that presently, I didn't even have a body. It was like my consciousness was aware of the surroundings and nothing more.“Avery..” I heard the voice call out again. It was gentle and ethereal and it made me momentarily forget that I was freezing to death or maybe I had already frozen to death.I looked in front of me and I saw a dazzling beauty the likes of which I'd never seen. She had long white hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of snow and deep red eyes that glittered like the purest of rubies.Her skin was milky and soft and her figure was wonderful. Even as a girl I couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. Even though I couldn't see any other features of her face except her eyes, I could tell that s

    Avery's pov “I'm very sorry for how I treated you.”The moment I heard those words, it felt like an invisible weight that had been pressing down on me had been lifted a bit.Even while I was here in the forest, I could still feel the black ice slowly freezing me and penetrating deeper into my bones but now, I felt like a bit of it had stopped.I knew what this feeling was, it was forgiveness. I had loathed and hated a lot of people that had caused me misery but did I really hate them? I wasn't a malicious person by nature, I was surprised that I had this much malice within me.But now I knew that deep down, all I really wanted was an apology of any form. It didn't have to be direct, it didn't have to be the words “I'm sorry” but it had to make me know, make me feel relieved and safe. It had to assure me that what had happened would never repeat itself.But most of all, I realized that the person I most hated was myself. For a long time I had slowly begun to hate myself, I hated the f

    Avery's pov “Be careful there, you don't want to bloat yourself up.” My father chuckled as I stuffed massive amounts of food into my mouth.I was starving and it felt like I hadn't eaten in a long time which was true because my awakening process had taken six months to be completed.I ate in silence and my parents just watched me with a smile on their face. I felt a bit weird as they stared at me and I could feel myself slowly losing appetite.“Guys… you are making me lose my appetite.” I pouted at them and they both just chuckled and kept staring at me. I used my hand to feel around my face, maybe I had something on it.“I must say Avery, you look stunning, even more so than before.” Old man Lazarus spoke. I had forgotten that he was here, after all, it wasn't like him to be so quiet.After I was done eating my fill, I sighed in satisfaction. I knew why my parents had been waiting, they wanted to hear about my experience and I was ready to tell them.“So… how should I start…” I mutt

    Lucien's povI walked out of the castle and into the garden. I sat there and I stared at the sky. I was lost in my thoughts. I was bothered and I haven't been able to focus and it was all because of one reason, Avery.Ever since I had that dream, I had been worried about her. Did she succeed? How was she now? Was she at home? All these thoughts ran through my brain almost every second and it was getting frustrating.I couldn't even call to ask or go over to her father's pack. She had made it explicit that she would come to me when she was ready to talk and I didn't want to push her away by being too forward.Does she remember what happened? Does she remember that I was there or did the dream state only appear to me and Avery was unconscious through it all?I sighed.“At this rate, you'll age faster than me.” I heard Esme say and I turned to look at her. I gave a helpless smile, she was the one who knew all I had been going through.“What do you mean? You've always looked so young.” I

    Avery's pov I walked out of the castle with a smile on my face, I was well rested and I wasn't feeling the hunger pangs from not eating for six months anymore. It was finally time for me to do something meaningful.I sighed, I knew what I wanted to do. I walked towards the car and I got in. It was a nice jeep and I preferred it to those smaller cars or convertibles. I started up the engine and drove off. My destination was Lucien's castle.When I arrived at Lucien's castle, my expression turned frosty. It was time to confront him. I had to resolve all of my malice and I didn't necessarily have to receive an apology to do so. I had to confront them and reassure myself that what happened would never repeat itself. I will never be pushed around again, not without a fight.I walked into the gate of the castle, the guard couldn't stop me because he recognised me and also because he was drooling at me.From afar, I spotted Lucien. He was in the garden area with a woman beside him. She loo

    Lucien's POV“My father was sick and because of that, he couldn't handle the pack affairs like he used to. This led to Donovan doing all of the handlings and he didn't do them well, or should I say he did them badly on purpose.”I took a deep breath as I remembered the situation with my father. I was angry and back then, I didn't have the strength to take him down. Even now that I was an alpha, I still didn't think I stood a chance against Donovan.That was why I wanted to wrap things up quickly, I wanted to take Avery as my Luna to strengthen my tether to life before I went through the awakening process because that was the only way I would be able to get strong enough to take care of Donovan once and for all.But from the way things were, it seemed like it would take a while before I would be able to take Avery as my Luna if I ever did at all. I sighed and gritted my teeth, I would just have to take it like that and hope for the best.An alpha's awakening process was different from

    Avery's pov “My father was sick and because of that, he couldn't handle the pack affairs like he used to. This led to Donovan doing all of the handlings and he didn't do them well, or should I say he did them badly on purpose.”I listened intently as Lucien began his story. I didn't want to know about his past but it was in some way connected to the reason why he had treated me the way he did. Moreover, I wanted to know if he had a good enough excuse.“I was weak and my father was even weaker due to his illness, Donovan was a powerful wolf and I stood no chance. By the time my father realized what was happening, it was already too late.”“Donovan wanted the throne for himself, he wanted to be Alpha but my father never agreed. So Donovan went to dig up some past stuff about my father and that was what he used against us.”“My father had a hidden card though, and he used it against Donovan. Donovan had always been afraid of Esme and when my father threatened to involve her, he let go o

    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
