Avery's POV I felt his erection pressed against my ass, sending a shiver down my spine. It terrified me, but also sparked a forbidden arousal. My body heated up, threatening to be consumed by his intense heat.As I struggled again, he groaned, his hand on my throat moving downwards to palm my breast. His fingers danced across my skin, sending tremors through me. Then, he thrust another finger inside me, his digits knuckles-deep. I gasped as he twisted and curled them, teasing me mercilessly.“You're so wet, Avery,” he whispered, his voice low and husky. “Your body is begging for me.”I tried to deny it, but my traitorous body responded to his touch, and soon little gasps escaped my lips. His thumb was pressed against my clit and rubbed against my sensitive flesh. “A-Alpha Red!” I groaned out before I could stop myself, and he answered by picking up his pace. “Hmm, Avery? What do you want me to do?” He asked, taunting me. I pressed my lips together to stop myself from replying, but
Alpha Red's POVI sat amidst the council, my eyes scanning the room as they discussed the upcoming full moon. The words of my fellow council members were a distant hum, a background noise that I barely registered. My mind was elsewhere, consumed by the memory of Avery's moans.Those soft, whispered sounds had been like music to my ears, a symphony of desire that had left me wanting more. I could still hear them echoing in my mind, a tantalizing reminder of the passion that lay between us.As I sat there, my thoughts drifting back to Avery, I felt a familiar stir within me. My body responded to the memories, my desire for her growing with every passing moment. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, trying to discreetly adjust myself as my arousal grew.The council members continued to discuss the full moon, their voices rising and falling in a steady cadence. But I was no longer listening, my attention focused solely on the memory of Avery's moans and the promise of what was to come.The
Avery's POV I couldn't help but feel a flush rise to my cheeks as Alpha Red's eyes locked onto mine. I was both confused and excited by the sudden change in his personality. Just last night, he had been so commanding and dominant, manipulating my body to respond to his every touch. And yet, now he was being sweet and gentle, pulling out my chair and smiling at me like I was the only person in the world.I couldn't help but wonder what had brought about this change in him. Was it just a ploy to get me to let my guard down? Or was there something more to it? I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing instead on the way my body was responding to his presence.As I looked down at my plate, I couldn't help but think back to last night. The way Alpha Red's fingers had danced across my skin, sending shivers down my spine. The way my body had responded to his touch, heating up with a desire that I couldn't ignore. I had almost died in frustration, the heat building up inside me until I thought I
Avery's POV I sat in Alpha Red's arms, feeling the warmth of his body and the hardness of his chest pressed against my back. It was a strange sensation, one that I couldn't quite explain. I didn't want to admit it, but I was actually enjoying the feeling of being held by him.As he brought another spoonful of food to my lips, I stopped him, turning my head to look at him. "Why are you suddenly feeding me?" I asked, my voice laced with skepticism.Alpha Red's eyes sparkled with amusement as he replied, "I wanted to be decent for once."I snorted in response, rolling my eyes. "Decent?" I repeated, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "You? You're anything but decent."Alpha Red chuckled, his chest vibrating against my back. "Perhaps I'm trying to change my ways," he said, his voice low and husky.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "I doubt it," I said, my voice firm.I narrowed my gaze, studying his face. Something was off. The glint in his eyes, the spark of amusement that usually danced in t
Alpha Red's POVI sat amidst the wreckage of my room, the full moon hanging low in the sky like a bloated, silver orb. My Lycan wolf was restless, its presence thrumming through my veins like a wild, primal energy. I was on the verge of losing control, my mind teetering on the edge of madness.The room around me was a testament to my lack of control. Furniture was overturned, curtains were shredded, and the walls were scarred and battered. I had lost myself to my wolf's fury, and the destruction that surrounded me was the result.Even the serum that Gaius had given me, the one that was supposed to calm the beast within me, had failed to work. I was a ticking time bomb, waiting to unleash my fury upon the world.But despite the danger that I posed, I found myself standing up and walking out of the room. I was supposed to be locked away, hidden from the rest of the pack to prevent any accidents. But I couldn't explain why I was drawn to a particular room, a room that I had no business b
Avery's POV I couldn't believe what was happening. Alpha Red had just rejected me as his mate, and now he was pinning me down, his body pressed against mine. My world was crumbling around me, and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair.I tried to push him off me, but he was too strong. All my attempts were futile, and I felt like I was trapped beneath him. In a desperate bid to make him stop, I bit down on his lip, tasting the metallic tang of his blood.He pulled back, his eyes flashing with anger, and I took advantage of the momentary distraction to slap him across the face. The sound of the slap echoed through the room, and for a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us palpable.Tears filled my eyes as Alpha Red's face twisted in a snarl. He wrapped his hand around my throat, his fingers closing around my windpipe like a vice. “ How dare you to do that to me?,” he growled, his voice low and menacing.I felt a surge of fear, but I refused to back down.
Avery's POV I woke up with a pounding headache, the events of the previous night still foggy in my mind. I turned to my side, hoping to find Alpha Red beside me, but he was long gone. His side of the bed was cold, and I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I quickly pushed the feeling aside, not wanting to dwell on it.I had barely slept the night before, finally drifting off just before dawn. Now, I was paying the price, feeling groggy and disoriented. I stood up from the bed, my body aching all over. I took a deep breath and began to get ready for the day, hoping that a hot bath and a change of clothes would help me feel more human.As I bathed and dressed, I couldn't help but think about the previous night. I was hungry, not just for food, but for answers. I was tired of being kept in the dark, tired of being treated like a prisoner. I decided that I would go down to the dining room, not just to eat, but to familiarize myself with the pack's dynamics.I made my way to the dining room,
Avery's POV I stared at the man in front of me, my heart racing with fear. I was scared that he might do something bad to me, but neither of us moved. The tension between us was palpable, and I could feel my senses on high alert.Just as it seemed like the man was about to make a move, a sound distracted us both. I turned to see who it was, and my eyes widened in shock as I saw Alpha Red walking towards me. His expression was unreadable, his face a mask of calmness.As he approached, he asked me if I was okay, his voice low and even. I quickly turned to look at the stranger, but he was gone, vanished into thin air. I spun back around to face him, my eyes searching his face for any sign of what was going on."Who was that?" I asked him, my voice barely above a whisper.His expression didn't change, but I saw a flicker of something in his eyes. "You don't need to worry about him," he said, his voice firm. "You're safe now."But I wasn't so sure. The stranger's sudden disappearance had
Alpha Red’s POV I stood at the edge of the Red Moon Pack's territory, my eyes scanning the bustling scene before me. There were people of all sorts milling about, some dressed in fine clothes, others in tattered rags. 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. I could see the fear and desperation in their eyes, and my heart went out to them.I had never been to the Red Moon Pack before, and I had never heard of such practices. Slavery? In a pack? 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? What kind of alpha would allow such cruelty and injustice to flourish under their rule?I felt a surge of anger and disgust, and I knew that I had to be careful. I was here
Alpha Red's POV I felt a sense of desperation wash over me as I watched Avery pull away from me. I wanted to reach out to her, to hold her and talk to her, but she made it clear that she didn't want me to. "Just leave me be," she said, her voice cold and detached.My stomach churned with anxiety as I realized that she was pulling away from me. I had been so careful to try to rebuild our relationship, to earn back her trust, but now it seemed like I was losing her all over again.I asked her if I had done something wrong, if I had offended her in some way. But she just shook her head and said that I had done nothing. "I just don't want to speak with you," she said, her voice flat and emotionless.I felt a pang of fear at her words. What if she didn't want to speak with me again? What if she pulled away from me completely? I couldn't bear the thought of losing her again. I had to find a way to fix things between us, but I didn't know where to start.I felt my frustration boil over as I
Alpha Red's pov"Avery?" I said gently while knocking on the door and waiting for a response but I got nothing. After the first knock and then the second knock but still nothing.I stood outside Avery's door, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity for her to open the door, but there was only silence. I knocked again, my knuckles rapping against the wood in a gentle but insistent rhythm.But still, there was no response.A spark of panic ignited within me, and I felt my anxiety grow with each passing moment. What if something had happened to her? What if she was unconscious, or worse?My mind began to spiral out of control, conjuring up worst-case scenarios that made my blood run cold. I knocked again, this time more urgently, my fear and worry getting the better of me.And then, without waiting for a response, I pushed the door open and rushed into the room. My eyes scanned the space frantically, searching for any sign of Avery.But the ro
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. She was my mate, and I would do anything to protect her.I followed the maid to t
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
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 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 POV My grandfather's expression softened as he listened to my words, his eyes filled with a deep understanding and compassion. 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. And I'll do everything in my power to help you prove yourself to others."I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at my grandfather, his words touching a deep chord within me. I knew that I still had a long way to go, but with his support, I felt a sense of hope that I hadn't felt in a long time."But I'm tired of always looking over my shoulder or praying and hoping to be loved like I deserve. I've done so much but I still feel l
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
