Avery's POV

I sat around the dining table, sipping my tea and listening intently as my grandfather explained the situation. The clan members were growing restless, demanding that we find the cause of the deaths and report back to them soon. The next council meeting was looming, and the pressure was mounting.

My grandfather had already spoken to the elders, explaining that we needed time to investigate and gather evidence before we could bring forth a conclusive report. But he feared that the council might still insist on hearing something, anything, about our progress.

My grandfather's expression was serious, his eyes lined with concern. "The clan members are getting impatient," he said. "They want answers, and they want them now."

I knew that we were doing everything we could to investigate the deaths, but it was clear that the clan members were not satisfied with our progress.

Alpha Red spoke up, his voice thoughtful. "Is there anywhere we can bring in even just a snippet of our fi

    Avery's povAlpha Red nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry, Avery," he said. "I have a plan."I was taken aback, my curiosity piqued. "What is it?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Alpha Red's smile grew wider. "I'm going to go undercover," he said. "That way, no one will know who I am."I stared at him, my eyes wide with shock. "Is that truly wise?" I asked, my voice laced with concern. "You're well-known amongst all the packs. Everyone knows who Alpha Red is."Alpha Red chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Although everyone knows me as the notorious Alpha Red," he said, "not everyone has had the chance to physically meet me. And that's all thanks to my introverted self."I raised an eyebrow, surprised by his words. I had never thought about it that way. Alpha Red was indeed a private person, and he rarely attended social gatherings or meetings with other packs. It was possible that not everyone knew what he looked like.I sighed, feeling a sen

    Avery's POV I woke up with a start, my heart racing with fear that Alpha Red had left me again, just like he always did. But as I sat up and looked around, my eyes landed on him, lying beside me, still fast asleep. I let out a sigh of relief, feeling a mix of emotions. I was happy to see him, but I knew he was leaving today to go to the other pack, and I wouldn't see him again for two days.I carefully moved closer to him, not wanting to wake him up. I smiled as I took in his sheer beauty. His jawline and cheekbones were sharp, giving him a deadly and captivating look that not only terrified people but also hypnotized them. I remembered being spellbound by his looks the first day we met, but my feelings were torn when he hurt me.Now, I don't know how to describe my feelings for him. They were complex, a mix of fear, respect, and... something more. I looked at him, taking in the strong lines of his face, the sharp angles of his features. He was a powerful and intimidating figure, but

    Alpha Red's POV I pulled Avery into my embrace, holding her close as I reassured her that I'd come back to her. "No one can eliminate the notorious Alpha Red," I joked, trying to lighten the mood. "They know better than to attack me."Avery shook her head at me, a small smile on her face despite the tears still welling up in her eyes. I placed a soft kiss on her lips, trying to comfort her, before gently wiping away her tears.I felt a pang of guilt for making her cry, but I understood that her connection with her mother had been strong, and her death must have devastated her. I didn't want her to cry, and I wished I could kiss her worries away, but I knew that was impossible.All I could do was make sure I returned home to her in the next two days. I held her close, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I would do everything in my power to come back to her, to make sure she was safe and happy.

  • The Rejected Witch Is Wanted By The Red Alpha    Chapter One: A Worthless Daughter

    The grand hall of the Moon Pack was teeming with life-a cacophony of clinking glasses, laughter, and hushed conversations that filled the air. Roasted meats, fresh bread, and fine wine wafted through the air, almost letting a person forget this wasn't supposed to be a celebration in the first place. At least, not to me.I sat alone at the far edge of the hall, in a dimly lit corner, which incredibly fitted my mood. My stepmother, Serena, floated through the crowd as if she was the grand dame of the evening, her golden gown shimmering under the light of the chandeliers. My father, Alpha Jack Moon, stood tall beside her, laughing with the guests as if the world revolved around them.I swallowed down the bitter lump in my throat as I glared down at the half-eaten fruitcake on the small plate in my hand. Today was supposed to be my day-my twenty-first birthday, my supposed "coming-of-age." Instead of being treated like the star of the evening, I was little more than an afterthought.The p

    The night was awfully still, that sort of calm which made every groan of the wooden floor and every rustle of leaves outside a little bit louder. It was weeks since my birthday banquet, but the seer's words hung in the air, there yet not quite there, heavy with implication.I had lain in bed staring out the small window of my room. The crescent moon was low in the sky, casting pale rays that made for macabre shadows across the forest. Yet, there was this real feeling that things were not quite right.A sudden howl ripped through the silence, lowered and menacing.I froze.Then another howl followed. And another.The Bloodhounds.It came upon me in an instant, and a river of fear poured through my veins. The feared Bloodhounds had arrived, oozing their cruelty and unmatched strength.I jumped to my feet, throwing a coat atop my skinny nightdress. The packhouse was in a frenzy; there were all kinds of screams and snarls being shouted. I spilled out into the hall, where people ran both w

    The door creaked open and I instinctively stepped backward as my breath caught in my throat. In that room, for one second, there was only the soft echo of his boots against the stone floor.As he stepped fully into view, my lungs ran out of air.The Red Alpha was even more fearsome up close than my mind had pictured. His tall, towering physique spoke volumes about power; the green eyes felt like they were drilling right into me, holding me paralyzed with intensity. His face was chiseled, his features composed-smooth, like the lull before the storm.I said nothing. My muscles were tight while I waited for him to say something.He crossed the room, his hands clasped behind him, drinking in his surroundings. Finally, he faced me, the curl of his lip in a small, almost amused smile."You're quieter than I expected," he said with that voice all smooth and deceptively calm. "Good. I like my acquisitions to know their place."I blinked to hear his words; his words dragged me from my stupor.

    (Alpha Red Pov)I stormed from her room, my breathing heavy as I slammed the door behind me. The sound reverberated down the dimly lit hall, but it did little to calm the roaring chaos inside of me. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, the nails biting into my palms.Her face had seared itself into my mind, those wide grey eyes, flashing defiance and raw fear. It was that look that had triggered something deadly inside me. I had gone into her room cool, calm, prepared to outline the do's and don'ts for this beauty and put her straight regarding her place in the scheme of things. Yet she'd resisted. She had pushed and goaded until the monster inside me broke free once more.I wasn't sure if it was her words or the defiant stare that followed, but something about her unraveled me.I quickened my pace as my boots smashed against the stone floor down the corridor to my chambers. The wolf inside me stirred violently; its rage pounded against my skull."Alpha, is everything—A servant

    The pale morning light seeped through the narrow window, but it offered little comfort. My body felt so heavy, as if I was slowly sinking into the thin mattress that supported me. All my muscles ached, and my head pounded away with a dull, ceaseless pain.I shifted uncomfortably, but the movement sent a sharp jolt through the back of my skull. Gritting my teeth, I reached back and felt the swelling just above my nape. Must have happened when he threw me down after releasing me last night-my head must have struck the stone wall.The memory of his glowing red eyes flashed in my mind, and I shivered.Alpha Red.His name was enough to send shivers of fear and hatred down my spine. My throat still burns from where his hand had clutched me, and my mind replayed that one moment over and over. The sheer rage in his eyes, the monstrous strength in his grip-it was unlike anything I'd ever seen.I closed my eyes and willed it away, but my mind strayed to my mother instead.

He nodded slowly, his hands still holding mine."I know it's hard, Avery," he said, his voice gentle. "But you have to remember that you are not alone. You have me, and you have Alpha Red. We believe in you, and we want you to stay here with us."He paused, his eyes searching mine. "I know it's not easy to trust others, especially when you've been hurt before. But I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what.

    Avery's POV I looked at Alpha Red, my mind racing with questions and concerns. "What are you planning on doing next?" I asked him, my voice barely above a whisper.He hesitated, his eyes narrowing as he considered his response. "I'm not entirely certain," he admitted, "but I have a strong feeling that the food is somehow related to the deaths. We need to be sure before we conclude anything, though."I nodded, my thoughts already racing ahead to the implications of his words. If the food was indeed the problem, it would mean that the entire community could be at risk. I felt a shiver run down my spine at the thought."What's your next step, then?" I asked Alpha Red, my curiosity getting the better of me.He stood up, his movements decisive. "I'll need to check the food supplies," he said. "See if I can find any common thread or contaminant that could be causing the deaths."I nodded, my mind already turning over the possibilities. If Alpha Red was right, we could be facing a much bigg

There were too many unanswered questions, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right.Once we were outside, I finally asked the question that had been bothering me. "Alpha Red, what are you thinking?" I asked, looking up at him with curious eyes.He frowned, his brow furrowed in thought. "It's possible that the boy had a heart attack," he said. "His father died of a heart attack, after all. It could be a genetic condition."I nodded, understanding his line of thinking. But I also pointed out the inconsistencies in the woman's story. "But his mother said he wasn't having any medical or emotional issues that could have led to distress," I said. "She made it sound like he was perfectly healthy, and then he just... died."Alpha Red's expression turned thoughtful, and he nodded slowly. "You're right," he said.
