All Chapters of Payment To the Alpha: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~Avery~I was moving my lips, shaking my head but the words wouldn't form. I couldn't speak because I didn't know what to say. Even though I desperately wanted to say something, I couldn't, because the words I wanted to say wouldn't have been honest.”What is happening?” Amber's voice was shaky and quiet. She sounded scared.”I don’t know,” I said. It felt as though those were the only words able to leave my lips. ”Do you remember all the good times we had?” Amber asked me while eyeing me cautiously.”Honestly?” I asked and she nodded her head"Yes," She said and so I continued. ”No,” I whispered. ”I mean I remember the moments when everything was good, or at least not as messed up as they are now but I don't remember what it felt like, I don't remember the feeling of being happy.” I said and watched as Amber's head slowly bobbed up and down and she removed her eyes from me. ”Honesty’s a bitch,” she spat and stared at the wall. ”Yeah, but it’s a bitch that we’ve all been neglecti

~Avery~“How can you say that?” I was yelling, unable to hide the rage that was stirring within me.“You’re not the victim, you’re the one that they have been bending over backward to protect. Did they go about it the right way? Maybe not. But Alex is heartbroken, thinking he’s lost you forever and blaming both himself and his brother for it. Natasha and James are guilt-ridden, the Alpha is failing in his duties and has been for quite some time because his main focus has been you. You’re not the victim. They have set aside any and all other obligations to try and help you reach your fullest potential so that the day that hundreds of people come to kill you, you will be able to defend yourself. The pack members are suffering from a lack of leadership, but you haven’t seen that. You’ve seen their smiles, and the happiness they display, but you haven’t seen the anxiety that befalls them once the door is closed and they are with their loved ones. You have seen what they wanted you to see

~Avery~”I don’t get it. So whoever this person is, has hands-on experience with vampires. But she or he could see their end? How can anyone for-see the future?” I asked in shock as I read over the words one more time. Lydia was weirdly quiet, she looked to be thinking about something, trying to make sense of this but there was more behind her eyes. She was shaking her head and her lips were moving silently. ”Lydia?””I have no idea, let’s continue reading,” she said and flipped the page. This one had the crown symbol on the bottom left corner.”The embodiment of regal poise. The queen to rule over endless pain who shall meet her faith in the hands of trust. For no one creature is truly immortal, a balance must be made, a life for another or two on the hands of each other a balance will be restored, peace will be set free again.””Are they talking about-””Raven,” Lydia answered.No one is immortal, everyone can be killed.But killed in the hands of trust, two killed by each other.

~Avery~”It’s in my blood. My great-grandmother could foresee the future and different events that would occur, my mother could too. This ability goes back centuries and generations. My grandmother would tell me stories about our family, many of the women were burned or tossed in the lake with bound hands and legs because they were thought to be witches. One of my relatives, she had foreseen an attack on the village where she lived and she tried to tell the elders, those who were in charge but they saw her premonition as nothing but witchcraft and sentenced her to death.” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Could Jaspers ancestors have been the ones who wrote the book?”How do your family know all of this?” I asked him. ”A lot of them wrote things down in books so that their premonitions would live on even after they were dead. It was almost compulsive, whatever they saw or heard they had to write down so the information wouldn't get lost. And the woman who tried to save her vill

~Avery~James turned around and in an instant, he was in front of me, his hands cupped my face and he slammed his lips down on mine. The passion, the strength, the dominance, it was all clear in that one kiss. He pulled back slightly and rested his forehead against mine. ”Things are changing, everything is different, I know you feel it too. I will fix this, Avery, you have my word. It will be you and I, whatever I have to do to make it so, I will,” He said in a beautiful promise and placed a kiss on my forehead before he left. Alex stayed behind, he raised his head slightly and looked at me. There was something he wanted to say, be it an apology or something else, I didn't feel like hearing it. We were all dealing with our own problems, in our own ways. The problem was that all our problems included each other but we closed off and I didn't think it was going to change anytime soon. James thought he could find the truth in that book but he couldn’t, I knew he couldn’t. But the mo
