{~~Avery Sterling~~}I woke up by the fireplace to the faint sound of the doorbell ringing. The soft, persistent chime pulled me from the comforting warmth of sleep, and I groaned quietly as I opened my eyes, taking in the dimly lit room. Logan was still asleep beside me, his arm draped protectively over my waist. His breathing was slow and steady, the kind of deep sleep that only comes after days of exhaustion finally catch up to you. Neither of us had made it to bed last night; instead, we had dozed off by the fire, wrapped in each other's embrace, too tired to move.As much as I wanted to stay curled up against him, the doorbell rang again, more insistent this time, and I knew I had to get up. I carefully extricated myself from Logan’s grasp, not wanting to wake him, and slipped off the couch. The cool air in the room was a stark contrast to the cozy warmth of the blankets we had shared, and I shivered slightly as I padded across the room. My feet were silent on the hardwood floor,

{~~Logan Grey~~}I called my brother the moment I managed to calm our mother down. My hands were shaking slightly as I dialed his number, and I could only imagine the state Felix was in right now. The phone rang twice before he picked up, and I could hear the panic in his voice before he even spoke.“Logan?” Felix’s voice was a mixture of relief and terror, the kind that comes when you’re holding on by a thread and finally hear a lifeline on the other end of the line. “Have you heard anything? Do you know where she is?”I could hear the strain in his voice, the barely-contained hysteria that threatened to break through at any moment. My heart ached for him, knowing he was facing every husband’s worst nightmare, and I had to do everything I could to keep him from spiraling out of control.“Felix, I need you to take a deep breath,” I said, trying to keep my own voice calm and steady. “I know this is terrifying, but we’re going to find her. I promise you, we won’t stop until we bring her

{~~Logan Grey~~}I pulled the car into Felix's driveway, the tension that had been building throughout the drive reaching its peak as we came to a stop. The house loomed ahead of us, dark and silent, a stark contrast to the turmoil that must be raging inside. Without a word, Avery and I hopped out of the car, our steps hurried as we made our way to the front door.As soon as I stepped inside, I was met with the sight of my brother, Felix, slumped on the couch. His face was pale, his eyes red-rimmed and hollow from hours of worry and sleeplessness. The sight of him like this—so broken, so defeated—struck me deep in the heart. Felix was always the strong one, the one who had everything together, but now he looked like a man on the brink of collapse."Felix," I called softly, moving toward him. His head snapped up at the sound of my voice, and the moment he saw me, the dam broke. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stood up, and before I could say anything more, he threw his arms around me

{~~Avery Sterling~~}There is no way to separate the bad from the really bad feeling. While my gut was telling me something was up, it was also telling me that it had nothing to do with Rex. Which made me a bit calmer as we drove to Felix’s wife’s location. It was only when we arrived to find Ryan speaking to the werewolf king that i made the connection.No wonder it was so weird. Why would Rex kidnap an already pregnant woman? That goes against the M.O. that he had been categorized into. He usually goes for runaways, seduces them for months before getting them pregnant, and then shifts his attitude. This was all weird.You know, so weird.I stepped out of the car, and so did Logan and Felix. We rushed towards Ryan, but I already knew the answer.“Um, logan can I speak to you and Felix alone please?” Ryan said, looking exhausted. He urged them to follow him away from the king. I turned to the man himself. Who looked like he couldn’t give two fucks?“You took her, didn’t you? As bait f

{~~Avery Sterling~~}Staring at his body, I couldn't help but be captivated by the sight before me. His shirtless frame was a masterpiece of sculpted muscle and sinew, every inch of his torso defined with a precision that seemed almost impossible. His broad shoulders tapered down into a chiseled chest, the kind that spoke of both power and grace. The way his muscles flexed with even the slightest movement sent a shiver down my spine, as if his body was made to be admired, to be touched.His skin, a smooth canvas of sun-kissed bronze, gleamed under the soft light, highlighting every ridge and valley of his abs. Each of his abs was perfectly carved, as if they were etched by the hands of a master sculptor, creating a stunning six-pack that made my breath catch in my throat. His obliques, those alluring lines that cut down his sides, added a touch of raw masculinity that was impossible to resist. It was as if his entire body was designed to make you want to trace your fingers along every

{~~Logan Grey~~}Avery and I laid on the couch for a while after getting dressed, the softness of the cushions pulling us into a deep sense of comfort. We had work to do, there was no getting around that, but after the morning we’d had—well, after a good fuck, sometimes you just need to take a breather. The warm water from the shower had rinsed away the lingering tension, but it didn’t change the fact that the day was waiting for us, tapping its foot impatiently. We showered, got dressed again, but even then, we stayed there for a bit, soaking in the quiet together. The sun was beginning to slip lower in the sky, casting a golden light into the room, a reminder that we couldn’t afford to keep lounging much longer.Still, the thought of getting up was tough to swallow. I stretched out beside her, feeling the rhythm of her breathing against me. It was peaceful, and part of me wished we could stay like this, wrapped up in each other, forgetting the outside world. But reality doesn’t wait

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I did my rounds with Shawn, then checked on the patients in the basement. I was able to check their vitals and see some of the reports already made by the members of the team. They were expanding on the serum I’d made. It was a good step for all of us. I sat down there for a good hour making sure everything was right, and answering some questions they had left for me.I love how coordinated this team is. We’re doing everything right.After some time, I could see the brain wave of Mr Miller. His brain has slowed its rot process but it wasn’t recovering. I have an idea of how to do this but it’ll take some time. My cell phone sprang to life, startling me out of my train of thought. I reached for it blindly, answering without checking the caller ID.“Hey.” Aisha’s voice came as a shock to me. I haven’t heard from her in so long. Well since I found out our little town was trending.“Hi, Aisha. How are you?”“I’m alright. I haven’t heard from you. Are you okay?”“Yeah,

{~~Logan Grey~~}I was heading towards the cafeteria to find Shawn, I was told he was there and I had to ask him about this report. It’s done too poorly for someone of his status. It would be good enough if he was just an intern, but he isn’t.The elevator opened and Avery stepped out. She looked frustrated and angry. I closed the file and ran towards her.“Hey is everything okay?”“No. Everything is a mess. Can you give me a drive to the Creek Cafe?”“Yes, of course.”She turned away and started for the door. Her steps were quick and curt. Like she couldn’t stand to spend another minute here. I caught up to her, tugging her closely.“Hey, what’s wrong?”She breathed out and leaned into me. I smiled a little but my worry was still there. Who upset her? She didn’t say anything until we were in the car, and on the path to the creek cafe.“I have something to tell you. Remember the guy I told you took my virginity?”I furrowed my eyebrows, I only remembered the guy existed. His name is b
