{~~Avery Sterling~~}There are a lot things that I could have considered as warning signs when it came down to Logan. His need to humiliate me was not one of them. I figured I wouldn't fall for his trick. That I could be strong, better, and if I could resist his insults then I could prove myself to him. But I failed to understand that my body and my mind speak two different languages. My mind says we can withhold against any onslaught of pleasure he tries to put us through. And my body says self preservation and respect is for people who are not me. I am so ashamed.Logan was chuckling like a supervillain from the worst movie ever. He sounded so evil, so unlike the man I'd known– watched– in high school. I wasn't dealing with that version of him. Who was such a sweetheart. He's just cruel. My eyes and cheeks are wet with tears. I can't believe I came. Two fingers tapped my cheek, and I was forced to open my eyes. “Awwwn, look at those tears.” He looks so pleased. So proud that h
{~~Avery Sterling~~} This must be a dream. Or I wished it was. I was staring at a cake, my name was on it and so was a candle in the shape of number nine. Which is my age. But... My parents never threw any parties for me. This must be an accident. I looked at my tiny hands, my eyes dragging over the happiness that clouds that of my parents. The big smiles on their faces, the other kids surrounding them chanting my name. I burst out into tears because I know this is a dream. It couldn't be real. Never for me. The truth is, the actual birthday had gone like this. There was a cake, a number nine, a bunch of happy people and children. There was just one huge difference. On my ninth birthday I'd been accidentally locked out of the house. I had to watch as my parents and all the kids in the neighborhood celebrated my twin sister. They jumped in joy for her, no one noticed I wasn't there. Not a single person. The sickness of this fucking dream. To remind me of that horrid night. It
{~~Logan Grey~~}I shouldn't be checking Ava's Instagram, but I still can't help myself. There's something about her only posting that man's arms that seems to piss me off. Why was she hiding him? She was a girl who posted everything about her daily life but suddenly was hiding him.She wouldn't even mention his pack. It made me feel uncomfortable. What if she had just left for no reason but the fact that she didn't want to be with me anymore because of my rank is degrading. But it also leaves me with a million questions. Wouldn't she be posting about snagging the most important role an omega can get is the role of a Luna. If she got that, why isn't she bragging about it? That's usually the Ava method. So why is she hiding his face?Is she in danger? Is he not who he says he is? Was she tricked? I hope she knows she can reach out to me if things get out of hand. I posted a nice breakfast today, saying that my lovely wife prepared it. It was quite comical, but the followers I'd ga
{~~Avery Sterling~~}The Necro nurse’s name is Gareth. White hair, sharp red eyes, a pure blooded Alaskan death wolf. Do you know how rare those are? This pack has really evolved from the last time I was here. His wolf clan don't leave their pack in Alaska. But apparently he went to camp with Ryan, they became buddies and when Ryan moved here to be closer to his best friend- Gareth did the exact same thing. They've been working together ever since. Ryan is such a social butterfly, while Gareth is a introvert who speaks to the dead bodies while he works. He was sickened by the case, and that was why he refused to continue operating on the bodies. I finally got the full details. For the past so and so months- I may have blanked out that part of the information- several woman have been abducted, their babies taken from them, and their stomach sliced open with their organs removed. Each woman had a C-section at Heart Inc. And each woman gave birth to boys. It was… shocking to find out
{~~Avery Sterling~~}I stayed up for several reasons. My nerves were on edge by what I had seen. It didn’t change anything. I was still feeling uneasy. Why did he have those photos? Was he always planning to blackmail me?Logan is nothing like I expected. He is much crueler than I thought he would be. I lay in bed, thinking of the woman that had gotten hurt. And logan. I know I’m not ava. Let’s weigh out the pros and cons of that. I’ve done that my whole life.Let’s build a chart. There is Ava Sterling. She’s well liked, or at least she was when I was first here. She’s smart, she’s funny, there isn’t an ex boyfriend here that might say something bad about her. She’s pretty, she’s charming, she has everyone in a chokehold. If she breathes, they trip over themselves. Hell, my parents couldn’t remember any part of my childhood, but if I asked them a specific question about Ava... they would have the answer.Now those are her pros. Her ability to make people blind to her flaws. Her cons ar
{~~Avery Sterling~~}Okay, so sleeping was officially gone. I went for a run instead, and the more the phone call stayed in my mind the faster I ran. You know, symbolism and shit. Trying to outrun my problems. It did not work. My twin is truly the bane of my existence. She’s a wolf, she should have eaten me in the womb. I was born against my will, and I’m forced to pay for it. Dear god.It didn’t work. I returned to the house drenched in sweat and cursing every being that let me be born into this world. I ran my fingers through my hair, letting myself breathe before stepping into the house. Logan was awake, I could hear his footsteps moving around upstairs. I ducked toward my room. Not wanting to see him.Or I’d risk ruining my chances by telling him that Ava called me and that I have her new number. Which is a good way to fuck everything up. I need someone to talk to. I called Ryan while stripping off my workout clothes.I dumped them in the basket and entered the bathroom. Letting th
{~~Logan Grey~~}Ryan: You are a fool. You’re missing out on the hottest piece of ass you’ll ever find.Me: What the fuck are you talking about?Ryan: You are a fool. Save me some of your mom’s chicken pot pie or our friendship is over.I rolled my eyes, why am I friends with him again? He is being a pain. I turned the screen of my phone to face the desk while I got back to work. The files on the latest patients in intensive care were done neatly. At least Avery is good at something. She reviews thoroughly and even goes above and beyond. Such an overachiever.A true nerd if I’ve ever seen one. I continued to read through each report she made. My mind kept flying over to the fact that my parents had sprung this dinner on me. I have to be nice to Avery or they might offer her some money to leave me. I need her to stick around until Ava comes to her senses.So i can’t have them thinking I want her gone, I also don’t want them thinking I’m in love with her. Fuck no. My heart would never b
{~~Avery Sterling~~}Logan is watching me, I must be doing something wrong. My day was already off to a bad start. Seeing Shawn had been a blast from the past. Remember when I mentioned one of those many guys who I thought liked me, only for them to drop me for my sister? All the while the guy I wanted was working his hardest to make her his.Well, Shawn was a different guy. He was sweet. When Ava flirted, he told her off. Said he was taken. He was... i thought with him I could get over Logan but then he dumped me one day out of the blue. Saying he’d made a mistake, and he wanted Ava. Her face had been so smug when I got back home that day.She was proud of herself. I meant what I said to him, I want nothing to do with guys who are obsessed with my sister. Is that hypocritical to say seeing as I’m basically enduring the worst for someone who takes his obsession with Ava to a crazy point? Yes, it does.But my life can only handle one crazy ex and not more. Especially since I’ve had a s
