Avery's POV
Everyone 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 you but now because of the rejection I got from Lucien , I'm not connecting with my wolf the way others do.Tears rolled down my eyes gently as I tried hard to keep it to myself but I couldn't help but scream out loud."Why?" I screamed. "Why does it have to be me? Why can't you just make me happy for once. Moon goddess why? All I seek is happiness, just happiness. Just happiness. But you never give it to me."I slipped into the water, not seeing the reason I should even continue to breathe. I am hated everywhere and even the only person who looks at me isn't always there for me.Suddenly, I felt an arm around my waist and in a second, I was pulled out of the water. I was pulled to the bank of the river and I felt the strong arm wrap around my waist."What do you think you're doing?" I heard Alpha Devon 's voice and I almost jumped out of my skin as I tried to pull away from him but he grabbed my waist and pulled me back down. "Don't."I sat there frozen as I felt his chest move up and down behind me. His strong arms wrapped around me and I couldn't help but blush at the closeness. "What were you thinking?" He finally said after a long time of silence."I am very sorry to disturb you my Lord…" Before I could continue, his chest started moving up and down in an uneasy manner. "Are you okay my Lord?" I asked as I turned to kneel between his legs.I panicked for a few minutes as I looked around to look for something to help. What if something happened to him and they thought I did it? I don't want to die.I hurriedly stood up but he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me back down to him, sealskin my lips with his. I knelt there shocked, not making any movement as his lips skillfully moved on mine.I was there in shock as he pulled away. "You even taste better than I imagined." He said as he stood up, pulling me up and I snatched my hands from him."Excuse me. I might be a lowly servant but never take advantage of me like that again." I screamed angrily. I couldn't deny I loved the kiss, it was so different from Lucien 's but I still would not let another man I don't know try to take advantage of me."I'm sorry." He said with a sigh. "I just acted out of impulse. Please forgive me." He said, holding my hand and that felt new to me. Even Donovan never told me he was sorry for doing anything wrong to me. This was the first time someone would apologize to me and I felt important for a few seconds."I'm sorry for yelling at you alpha Devon ." I hurriedly bowed when I remembered what I was doing. His hand came to my head and patted it gently with a small smile."Your hair is very beautiful." He complimented and I blushed gently as I took a few strands of my hair and fiddled with it. "They compliment your eyes.""Thank you, my Lord." I said before snapping back to reality. "I have to leave, thank you for helping me. I really appreciate it." I bowed and before he could say anything, he ran off.The last thing I wanted is for Lucien or Stella to know I snuck out of the pack house. I also secretly feared alpha Devon might tell them or give them an impression that I left the pack house.I slowly slipped into my room and rushed over to the bathroom to take a cool and refreshing bath. I stayed under the shower for a very long time, as if it would wash away all my sorrows.A sigh escaped my lips as I stepped out of the bathroom and changed into my normal dress before stepping out of my room. "Took you long enough." A voice resounded in the room and I almost jumped out of my skin.I looked up to see Lucien leaning against the wall opposite the bathroom door. I was creeped out by him just entering my room and I wondered how he got in after I locked the door."My Lord." I bowed my head gently and just then, he leaned away from the wall and walked over to me, grabbing my hair to make me look up at him."Where were you?" He asked and I felt my heart hammer against my chest. I didn't say a word and he pulled on my hair harder and I gulped gently. "Do you want me to repeat myself?" He asked and I shook my head negatively."You were with him weren't you?"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. I had intentionally ru
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
Avery's povI opened my eyes, shielding them a bit as the morning rays entered my eyes. I stretched a bit and then I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.I lay in the bathtub and I let the warm water relax my body. I sighed as I closed my eyes, memories of past events coming to mind.It has been just two days since I arrived at Devon's castle and I must say, I was enjoying myself a lot. Everyone here was nice to me and they treated me like I was worth something.I felt loved for the first time in a while. I had heard that there was going to be a welcome party for me in a few days. I was a bit scared at the thought of standing or being in the presence of so many people but I wasn't going to run. Devon had promised to be with me throughout the party.I opened my eyes after a while and I sighed again. I stood up to leave the bathroom because the water had gone cold. I would have loved to stay there forever, relaxed and free of worries.I opened the door to the walk-in closet and my
Isabella's povToday was the day I finally put my plans in motion, I was going to befriend Avery. With only a few days left until the party, I had to get close to her and convince her to dull her shine.I walked to the bathroom, stopping in front of the mirror to examine my body. I was stark naked, my voluptuous breasts standing firm, my curvaceous body and plump ass still as perky as ever.I loved my body, I knew I was extremely beautiful and I took pride in it. I imagined Alpha Devon's lustful gaze on me and my nipples went erect.I walked into the bathroom, entering the bathtub filled with warm water. The water made my body warm and I felt even hornier.I began to finger myself, moaning softly and imagining that I was being fucked by alpha Devon. I imagined his massive dick pounding into me nonstop and I felt myself climax.I had to taste the real thing, I couldn't hold back anymore.I finished bathing and then I walked into my closet, examining various dresses before I settled on
