last update Last Updated: 2024-12-16 00:36:21

Alpha Red's POV

I had just finished taking my bath, and was drying my hair with a towel when I noticed something glinting in the dim light of my room. I glanced down and saw that it was a pendant, partially hidden under my bed. I bent down to pick it up, and as soon as I did, I realized that it was Avery's. I remembered her telling me that she had lost it, and I had thought she was just making excuses. But now, I knew that she had been telling the truth.

I felt a pang of guilt for not believing her, and I quickly got dressed, deciding to return the pendant to her. I made my way to her room, and when I entered, I found her sitting on the bed, lost in thought. She looked up as I called her name, and I was taken aback by the look of shock on her face. She seemed startled, and for a moment, I wondered what was wrong. But then I remembered the pendant, and I held it out to her, a question in my eyes. "Avery, is this yours?" I asked, my voice low and gentle.

    Avery's POV As I stood there, frozen in time, my gaze remained fixed on the closed door, its wooden surface a stark reminder of the barrier that had been erected between us. The words he had spoken still lingered in the air, a toxic cloud of malice that threatened to suffocate me. I couldn't believe what I had just heard - that he didn't want me to keep the baby, that he had actually accused me of being the cause of it. The accusations cut through me like a knife, leaving me reeling in shock and confusion.My mind struggled to comprehend the magnitude of his words, but as the initial numbness began to wear off, a wave of anguish crashed over me, threatening to consume me whole. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of pain and shame, each breath a struggle to stay afloat. The room around me began to blur, and my legs buckled beneath me, sending me crashing to the floor. My knees cracked against the cold, hard surface, but I barely registered the pain.Tears burst forth from my eyes lik

Would she be relieved, or would she be angry? I had tried to prepare myself for every possible outcome, but the truth was, I had no idea how she would respond.As I sat there, pretending to listen to the council's questions, my thoughts drifted back to the possibility of Avery carrying my child. I had told myself that I didn't want to take the risk, that I wasn't ready to be a father. But the truth was, I had no problems with the idea of Avery giving me children. In fact, the thought of it was almost... appealing.But fear had taken hold of me, fear of the unknown, fear of losing control. And so, I had instructed the maid to deliver the c

Instead, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving mine."Be careful, Avery," he said, his voice calm and collected. "Don't think about going against my wishes. You're still my slave, and you're still below me. Don't forget that."I felt a shiver run down my spine as he spoke, his words dripping with condescension and malice.

I also hoped to sneak into the pack house and uncover their plans.

I saw pack members, visitors, and even beggars, all going about their business.But then my gaze fell upon a group of people who made my blood run cold. They were slaves, dragged along by guards who held chains and leashes.

It was unheard of. I was utterly confused and shocked, my mind reeling with questions.How could a pack, a community of wolves who were supposed to be a family, treat their own kind like this?

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 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
