He rolls his eyes at her dramatics and continues typing, glancing at her in mild concern every so often."I need to go visit York, and finish emails, and check in with Kali and Kathleen," she mutters to herself, dreading the thoughts of having to move even an inch."Then do it, lazy ass," Roman sighs, shaking his head at her."Fine, I will," she snaps, dragging herself off the floor reluctantly.Her legs vibrate as she moves, and she grimaces as her legs nearly give up."I do not like you for this," she grunts, staggering to her dressing table and leaning against it to regain her balance.He smirks in her direction, feeling pretty proud of himself.I'll fix this, Sonya snarls, putting all of her energy into strengthening Avery's posture.Almost instantly, Avery stands up straight, and Avery cocks her head to the side in mock confusion."Oh, you thought I meant for the screwing? Oh gosh, no, I meant for the situation you created by lying to me," she sighs dramatically, flashing the mid
Moderately satisfied with her outfit, she puts her earrings in and puts her glasses on.Today will be a long day; she can just tell."I have errands to run," Avery states, packing up her laptop while she occasionally glances at Roman."Cool, go do them," he responds, looking at her over the laptop screen with a raised eyebrow."I want you gone by the time I come back," she grimaces, and he pauses his incessant typing."Oh, you're kicking me out," he mutters, and she stops packing."Did you think I'd let you stay forever?" She asks, "you're not a puppy."He closes the laptop slowly, and nods at her."I'll leave now then, I suppose," he murmurs, pulling off her sweatshirt and leaving it on the bed."You don't have to leave this second, I'm just telling you that you should be out of here in the next six hours," she drawls, zipping up her bag."No, you don't want me here, and even a blind man could see that," he states calmly, standing up and stretching."Let your border patrol know that
She gets a little heart attack at the volume, and she turns it down quickly, bopping her head to the music as she scurries around the kitchen, making herself a smoothie."What will I use today?" She hums to herself, before Sonya suggests a mango smoothie.Avery goes with it, pulling her ingredients out of the fridge and freezer, and then throwing them all into a blender.She raises the music's volume while the blender is on, and she screams the words of the song as she dances around her kitchen.The best part of being an adult - if you can ignore the loneliness, which she absolutely can.Once her smoothie is done, she pours it into a travel mug and leaves the blender on the counter-top, quickly linking her maid that there's some slight mess.Once the lady responds, Avery leaves, locking her doors and setting her alarm system behind her.Walking down the steps of her house, she looks around intently, squinting in every direction.She won't lie; she would appreciate a companion in case
The piles of files are taller than Kali, and the three women look at each other."We only have two left," Avery mutters, wiggling on the floor to try to get herself comfortable."Two too many," Kali whimpers, and Kathleen rubs her eyes."If I ever have to read again, it'll be too soon," she groans dramatically, flinging herself backwards onto the ground in protest."Honestly Kali, you're going to be the most over-qualified Luna out there," Avery laughs, shaking her head."I should win an award for filing and organising," Kali chuckles, rolling her eyes, "I was on the phone with Scott last night, and he thought it was hilarious that we were still sorting through these files."Avery laughs again, grinning ear to ear."He would think it was hilarious, is his office still a bombsite?" Avery snorts, and Kali cringes."He can't find anything he needs, and he expects everyone else to know where it is," she groans good-humouredly."You poor, poor people," Avery grins, and Kathleen lets out a
"If you need me, call me, please," Kathleen whispers, kissing Avery's forehead before walking after Kali.Avery closes her eyes once the door shuts, and gets to work typing up her emails.Her alarm goes off after twenty minutes, and she stretches quickly, before she hurries to her car, laptop in hand.She takes a minute to decide on her location and settles on going to her own house, knowing she has a few suitable dresses.She spends the drive in silence, fully absorbed in her thoughts.Sonya forces the negative ones away and instead focuses on her plans.She's ecstatic at the prospect of seeing Lilith again, and she's glad to know she can offer the girl a safe haven.Once she arrives home, he goes straight up the stairs and slips into a hot pink wrap dress.She slips on some heels and quickly applies some makeup, not going too over the top for once.Avery is rudely disturbed by her phone ringing, and she hesitates before she answers."Avery, hurry up, the Addisons' arrived sooner tha
The dinner is relatively quick, and Avery's parents drink enough wine for the entire table.Avery decided to stick to water in solidarity with the pregnant she-wolf beside her.Zephyr stuck to water due to the fact he had to drive home after this little shindig.The party of five is in the dining room built for at least ten, and it's slightly awkward due to the vast unoccupied area.The conversation lulls a little after dessert is served, and the guests shift a little uncomfortably."So where is your sister, Avery?" Zephyr asks, sipping his drink as he looks over the rim of his glass, desperate to end the weird silence.Her mother butts in before Avery can open her mouth.The tension present for the entire dinner between the mother and daughter did not go unnoticed by anyone."Louisa walked in on her and Alpha Lancaster having sex, so he sent her to the cells," Marie slurs, and Lilith's eyes shoot open.Zephyr coughs, choking on his drink slightly as he gapes at Marie."Walked in on w
"Don't joke about that," Avery mutter, looking around quickly."Why? It's only a joke, chill out babes," Lilith rolls her eyes, jumping down from where she was sitting."Make yourself useful and grab one of your suitcases," Avery sighs, sliding out of the car and grabbing her laptop and phone from the back seat.She walks around to the trunk of her car, her ears perking up when she hears a noise nearby."Lilith, stop moving," she murmurs, her voice barely audible. Lilith stares at her blankly, raising an eyebrow until she can hear the rustling too.The two girls stare intensely at the bush nearby, both assuming the sound is coming from there.The noise stops, and Avery opens the trunk as fast as possible.She grabs the three suitcases out in a blur of movement, flinging them onto the ground and slamming the trunk shut as quick as she had opened it."Grab them," Avery mutters, hurrying over to the front door.She unlocks it and hurries in, grabbing the suitcases off Lilith and then dr
"Avery, slow down," Lilith pants, moving as fast as she can through the trees."No, we're going to be late," Avery shoots back irritably, grabbing Lilith's hand and pulling her along."They're rogues, they don't care much about time," Lilith groans, trying to take her hand back.She eventually shakes Avery off, just to promptly trip over a bramble."I thought you were supposed to be some badass rogue," Avery grumbles, picking Lilith up off the ground.Lilith stays quiet, pouting a little bit at her friends snub. "Are you okay?" Avery asks reluctantly, and Lilith rolls her eyes."I'm fine, let's hurry, they won't wait for you to show up for too long," Lilith sighs, resting a hand on her bump as they walk at a more manageable pace."I thought you said they didn't care about time?" Avery retorts, raising a brow. Lilith stays uncharacteristically quiet.Avery shoots concerned looks over her shoulder to Lilith every couple of seconds.This distracts her so much that she gets hit in the f
