Alpha Avery “What is going on Harrison?” I finally show up at the festival to find Haley on stage with a microphone in her hand. “You just missed it. Haley apparently plays the violin, beautifully I might add. Now she is going to sing.” “She volunteered to perform on stage?” “Well, no. Nick and Ray signed her name and pretty much forced her on stage. From the look on her face I am sure she will kill them later,” laughs Harrison. I stand next to Harrison and my jaw drops as she begins to sing. I don’t know this song but it sounds so sad and I can see she is putting her emotions into the song. I see Ray sneaking up to the the DJ’s turntable. The DJ gives him control and a slow pop beat plays, I can tell Haley was not prepared for the change, but she doesn’t falter. Seems like these boys had some talents before becoming slaves. The pack knows this is their Luna and they seem in awe of her. As soon as she sings the last note and the music ends, the crowd erupts in cheers. I can see
Haley I wake up in a good mood. I don’t know why I felt so comfortable with that wolf but I wouldn’t mind meeting him again. After what happened last night I think I have a good plan for me and the boys to earn our own money. They may be comfortable using the Alpha’s money, but I am not. I shower and get ready for the day. It’s getting colder out so I decide to grab a cute sweater dress with leggings and knee high boots. The boys are already downstairs eating a bowl of cereal. “Damn Haley, amazing what some clean clothes and food will do to ya. Your mate won’t be able to take his hands off of you when you find him,” says Nick with a teasing tone. “And you might not live to see the next day if I tell him what you just said,” I tease back. “You wouldn't let him hurt me. You love me too much.” I can’t help but laugh because he is right, I wouldn’t let anyone hurt them but that doesn’t mean I can’t tease him otherwise. “I don’t know, I’ve seen the mate bond make wolves do some pret
Alpha Avery I am deep in paperwork when I hear Harrison and Aiden yelling out my mates name. I walk to the window to find her speeding off in the Jeep, leaving her guards behind. “What happened,” I mind link them. “We don’t know Alpha. I am going to assume the therapy session you set up did not go well,” says Harrison. Shit. That was supposed to help her not piss her off. “Isla, what happened.” “I’m sorry Alpha, but what she tells me is strictly confidential. I need to earn her trust. I can’t be telling you what she tells me. You could order me to but I don’t think she’ll be happy to hear that you did.” I growl in frustration. Isla is right and I don’t need my mate mad at me more than she already is. “I understand Isla. Try again next week.” “Yes Alpha.” “Harrison, Aiden. Follow her. Let me know when you find her. I have an errand to run.” “Yes sir.” I grab the keys to my truck and head to the closest human music store I can find. I scan over the instruments until I find
Haley Alpha Avery must have heard me play at the festival. The violin is beautiful. Playing with the boys brings me such joy, it was the only time we could smile and enjoy ourselves back in Red Moon. I’m glad they were able to escape the same day I was saved. I wish I could understand this feeling of wanting to be near Alpha Avery. He’s been nice yes, but I highly doubt he is my mate. “You ever going to come down Haley? Breakfast is ready,” Nick mind links me. It’s definitely been convenient to be able to mind link. “I’m coming.” I head downstairs to find the boys cooked breakfast and there is a present wrapped. “Don’t worry, Harrison and Aiden had a meeting with Alpha Avery. They are not here at the moment,” says Ray. “Happy Birthday Haley,” they say in unison. “You guys didn’t have to get me anything and technically it’s not until midnight.” “We know but we figured we would celebrate today rather than tomorrow. You’ll probably be sore and tired,” says Nick. I beam a smile at
Haley I can’t help but laugh at the boys as they lightly bang their head on the table. There struggling with algebra. I decide it’s time to stop and eat some lunch. I head to the kitchen to make us sandwiches but find we don’t have any mayo. “Hey I’m going to run over to the pack house to see if they have mayo we can steal.” “Okay,” the boys yell, focused on their video game. I smile, shaking my head as I make my way over to the Alpha’s house. My body instantly shutters at the unsettling atmosphere in the house. I knock on the side door that leads to the kitchen but no one answer. I find it’s unlocked and as soon as I push the door open I freeze at the most terrifying scream I’ve ever heard. I slowly make my way to the door the sounds are coming from. I slowly open the door and the sounds get louder as I hear Alpha Avery’s voice. “Who sent you!” “Bite me Alpha.” I hear another blood curdling scream and find that my feet are moving down the steps. My heart pumping erraticall
Haley That training session kicked my butt but I feel amazing. It’s been too long since I’ve been able to train so hard. I am not happy with not being able to have any power behind my attacks but at least everything dad taught me hasn’t been forgotten. I tell the boys to not wait for me and just head to the music store once they finish with their shower. My hair is so long and curly, it’ll take forever to blow dry. On my way to the music shop I stop by Mary’s Bakery and grab some treats for me and the boys. It’s across the street from my music store so I am sure we will be regular customers. Their croissants are to die for, I even grab one for Pancho, the construction crew leader. “Hey Pancho. How are things coming along?” “Hi Haley. We are on schedule.” “Here I got you one of these while we do the walk through.” “Thank you Haley. Mary’s is the best.” “Hey,” Ray whines, getting a chuckle out of me. I toss the boys their treats and they quickly dig in. “Alright, so we’ve torn
Alpha Avery Haley still wants nothing to do with me. I shouldn’t have shown up at the music store. I watch her leave and wanna punch myself for being so pushy with her. “Keep up the good work Pancho, I’ll see you around.” I leave and let Spartan take over. We could use a good run. He makes a bee line for the forest when suddenly he skids to a stop. My heart clenches as we feel our mate unbelievably sad. He changes directions and heads right for her scent. My heart shatters at the scene before us. She found her parents. Spartan cautiously approach, trying not to scare her. He rubs his fur against her and she jumps a little but then relaxes once she sees us. She throws her arms around our neck crying harder than I’ve ever seen. I wish I could make this better for her. Spartan whimpers at her and she pulls away. He licks her tears away, not knowing what else to do. “Sorry,” She says as she pulls some tissue out of her bag. Spartan nudges her trying to get her to talk about it. “T
Haley “Nick, Ray, my wolf’s name is Hazel.” They are smiling at me as I continue to have a conversation with my wolf. “You shouldn’t go around telling people you have your wolf Haley, because of what we are.” “It’s okay Hazel, they already know. We were slaves together and I told them everything, they’re like my little brothers. They want to help protect my secret.” “I’m not saying that for your safety, I was saying it for theirs. Knowing your secret puts them in danger of being a target for those who want to use your ability.” “Ability? What ability?” “Haley the curse is called the Healing Kiss. With just a kiss we can heal any and all wounds but it comes at a cost. We take that person’s injury and if you heal someone on the brink of death, it could kill us.” “So we don’t kill our mate?” “No, but our mate will protect us fiercely. This will get himself killed in the process.” So that is why it is believed we are cursed to kill our mate. In a way we are the reason our mate die
