{~~Avery Sterling~~}When I woke up, I was in a state of distress worried that Rex was waiting for me. Instead, I saw Shawn, logan was nowhere in sight. I asked about him, and Shawn told me that Logan had rushed out to speak with the head of the beta squad. Which meant Ryan had been here too. I felt a bit safer knowing that.What came hours later still stuns me. Logan was offering me a divorce. A chance to get out of the pack, to return to wherever I feel should become my new home. He told me every detail. How when i get better I might end up seeing Ava at the hospital because we’re not monsters after all.I understood that, and that night I was taken back to the lake house with six members of the beta squad stationed outside. They were to ensure when Rex returned he was either caught and locked away, or killed. I couldn’t sleep that night, and neither could Logan.He didn’t press me on anything, or even answering whether I’d stay after the divorce. I’m not even sure I want us divorce

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I woke up in the middle of the night, Logan wasn’t in bed but he left a note saying he went to the lake. So I’m assuming he couldn’t sleep either. A ringing sound pierced through the air. Nervous, I searched for it in the dark. Once I found it, I turned on the lamp and checked if it was my phone. And turns out, it was.Aisha is calling.“Hi-”“I saw the news!! oh my god, I knew ava was crazy but to be involved in such a massive scandal is insane. That bitch is going down.”I was confused. How did Aisha find out and what specifically is she talking about?“Um, slow down. What are you talking about?”“Don’t play dumb with me. Having you seen the news? Your pack is blowing up internationally, this guy Rex is wanted in so many places, and so many women have gone missing. They’re sending higher-ups from the fucking royal family!! can you believe that? The king of the north announced that his twenty-two-year-old daughter went on a trip to the bloodhound pack and she nev

{~~Logan Grey~~}Avery trembled in my arms, her breaths coming in short, panicked gasps as I held her close, feeling her heart race wildly against my chest. I murmured soothing words, my voice a gentle lullaby in the dim light of the room. Slowly, as the minutes stretched on, her breathing began to slow, each inhale and exhale deepening as the panic subsided, leaving only the fragile remnants of fear in its wake.I could feel her muscles gradually loosening under my touch, the tension melting away like snow under the warm caress of spring. I swept her off her feet- I’m not trying to be romantic, that is literally what I did- and carried her up the staircase, back into the bedroom. What she needed was more sleep, not her friend bringing her insight into this whole mess. Ryan hadn’t been the one to bring out this information. The thing is, the beta squad is a faction of the sheriff’s department. Ryan is like a lieutenant but if he says something the boss will listen because he’s smart a

{~~Avery Sterling~~}No one asked me to come into work after getting shot, in fact, I was dismissed but I still wanted to work on the LDS case. Logan said I could take the week off as the CMO insisted, but I wanted to help. I know staying at home would mess with my mind. Especially since the press- foreign and local newstations- were packed around the hospital entrance wanting to get a look at the horrid monster who did this.They’d called me Ava at first but quickly realized it was a mistake. I wasn’t pregnant. I just hate this whole thing. I wish I could get away but I won’t be driven away from my new life simply because my sister decided to shack up with a bloody murderer.Everyone in the hospital was busy, so I was left alone in the basement lab. With two of the beta squad members. I was reviewing Martin’s tox screen report. A tox screen, short for toxicology screen, is a test that detects the presence of drugs, alcohol, or other toxic substances in a person's body. It is often us

{~~Avery Sterling~~}“Avery, who is Darren?”I turned away from the scope and moved aside so he could check it. Then I grabbed my note from where I’d left it and started to jot down my findings.“Remember that date you took me on? The guy who came up to our table, Ava’s ex said I was finally hot enough. An ex-boyfriend of mine as well. I found it so strange that Rex would develop an obsession for me. But he’s not obsessed with me, he blames me for him being in prison. If there’s anyone who could be obsessed it would be somebody I dated. Someone I was in the same math class with. Someone who despite fighting so hard to get a mark that would make him a nurse, got a bland color which meant he was forced into the food business. I don’t think Darren created the LDS. I think people in the olden days did. They used it to confirm their beliefs. If they said a man was going mad, they’d probably infect him and he’d go crazy over years so people would have to believe them. I think Darren put all

{~~Ava Sterling~~}When I left this dump, I fully expected it to crash and burn without me. I pictured the chaos, the people falling to the ground in despair, sobbing, begging for me to come back and restore order. Rex was supposed to be my sure thing—my lover, my partner, my everything. We were happy at the start, a whole nine months of bliss, but it didn't take long for things to start shifting. I was just trying to chase happiness, and for a while, I thought I’d found it with him. Don’t I deserve that much? To be happy?But of course, life had other plans. My fucking twin, who’s never had anything good happen to her, is suddenly swimming in all this attention—and it’s all because of me. All because I couldn’t just settle with Logan. He was steady, reliable, and probably the best choice, but no—I had to go after Rex, thinking he was my true love, the one who’d complete me. How fucking naive. The only thing true about what Rex feels for me is how he uses me. The women around us—they

{~~Avery Sterling~~}After lunch with Logan, I headed up to the room where Ava was being held, so I could get this conversation out of the way. I was nervous when I first opened the door until I saw her. Pitiful. This girl used to bully me? How? I have two degrees, and I can work under any medic alpha in the world. Why in the name of god did I let that bully me?"Go away. I don’t wanna see you."She raised an eyebrow and took me in- i was doing the exact same thing to her but while I’m sure she could see me being my best self... she didn’t look just as good as I remember her. Her gaze sharp and assessing, lingering on me with an intensity would have made me squirm if she wasn’t as pale as a ghost. I mirrored her, my eyes raking over her in return. Has she really changed this much in the last six years? She used to be so confident, so striking. But now… Now, she’s a shadow of what she once was. Her hair, once thick and lustrous, now hangs limp, as if life has drained out of it. Her onc

{~~Avery Sterling~~}After Gareth applied some ice to his genital area, I took him to my office so he could sit.“I’m so sorry for that. I get scared easily these days.”“I get it. I would be the same way if something that bad had happened to me.”I nodded, sitting behind my desk. “um, may I ask why you’re here? I think logan is in surgery.” Gareth shook his head, then he lifted the brown back he had on his shoulder and placed it on the table.“Ryan and the tech team did a deep dive on the locations you sent for some factory. It’s not a factory anymore. That place has been turned into a homeless shelter, which Ryan says the owner of the factory said he didn’t sell it. We haven’t gone to ask or interrogate the person who runs this shelter. Ryan doesn’t want to spook them. But he has people watching them. And the wolf king’s guards are arriving tonight. So after meeting with them, he’ll decide on what to do. But every pregnant woman that has been admitted to this hospital is under hot w
