All Chapters of The Cruel Alpha's Unwanted Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I must have fallen asleep after showing Logan the photo of Rex… what a shitty name. And his last name isn't even better. We could have talked more about it but I guess I was too tired. My medication had kicked in. I rolled onto my side, and came face to face with something hard. I wrapped around a similar thing. What the fuck is that? I wiggled my arms out of the thick blanket- I'm presuming that's what's keeping me in this tight embrace. I felt the presence in front of me. It was firm. Strong. Hard as I'd said earlier, but soft somehow too. They flexed… or bounced, I'm not even sure how to describe what it did. Confused as to what this might be, I opened my eyes to check what I was pressed against. My face heated up at the sight of Logan's firm chest. And I wasn't wrapped in a blanket, I was wrapped in his arms. How in god's name did this happen?Oh shit. I better leave before he wakes up. I took a pause, to enjoy the warmth. To memorize the warmth. But to a

{~~Logan Grey~~}Wow, I was not expecting to get laid into by Avery of all people. It stuck with me even while I was busy at work. The patients were coming in, but my thoughts were out of place. Thankfully, it didn’t interfere with what I was doing. She really didn’t hold back. She mentioned not trusting me not to go back to Ava, because that’s what people do. I hated that part the most. Something about her words cut through me.I hated being categorized into the list of men Ava has manipulated and dumped. You’re not special. Goddess, those words keep coming back with full force. I’ve never been someone whose words could hurt because I’m very self-aware, and I don’t show just anyone the true side of me so not everyone can hurt me. But Avery dug deep. I had asked her to be honest with me, and she didn’t hold back one bit.If Ava came back begging, would I say yes? After all, I’d discovered, was I that pathetic that she thought I would go back to her sister? After her cheating on me, ne

{~~Logan Grey~~}Thank goodness I’d decided to leave the hospital as soon as my gut told me to. She could have passed out on the bench, and that creep might have found her. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, and I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove. After vomiting, I gave her some water to rinse her mouth, and then took her back to the car. She fell asleep almost instantly, exhaustion overtaking her fragile state.I drove her to the lake house I’d bought for Ava and me to use as our honeymoon retreat. It was meant to be a gift, a place for us to start our new life together. But those dreams shattered when she left and cheated on me. Now, the house stood as a symbol of broken promises and lost love. I tried not to think about Ava as I focused on caring for Avery.Once I arrived, I pulled the car into the park and gently carried her into the house, placing her on the couch. She looked so peaceful, despite everything she had been through. I couldn't imagine the terr

{~~Logan Grey~~}I didn’t want to think about the implications. That Ava was involved in such bad things. I had loved this girl for a significant portion of my life, and I couldn't associate the girl I knew with the woman I was uncovering. I ignored those thoughts for now, focusing on Avery. I was such a moron. I argued with her. I was rude, mean, acting like she was the problem when in reality, Ava was the problem. Fuck, i keep feeling embarrassed when i think of the way i acted."The, um, the officers found a note," I said, looking up at her. She had just finished eating, and I was serving us something sweet to drink. I called off work today. She looked put off, small, and I knew it was the situation."What is in the note?" she asked. I answered by pulling out my phone. I had taken a picture of it when I went back to the house to collect some things. I made sure to take all the right precautions on my way back so no one followed me. I handed the phone to her while I went to take a b

{~~Logan Grey~~}A good distraction works wonders. After being so determined, she fell asleep right after the kiss. Her medication must have kicked in.I knew she wanted an answer, but the truth was, I didn't have one yet. As I lay there next to her, watching her fall asleep, I felt a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Her breathing became soft and even, a stark contrast to the chaotic thoughts swirling in my mind. I took that time to think, to unravel the tangled mess of my feelings.Avery. The mask Ava built was Avery, but with a little more confidence. How had I been so blind? There was no logical reason for me to be so enamored with a woman that I just gave up my ability to think rationally. Yet there I was, caught in a web of attraction and confusion, unable to disentangle myself from the emotions that she stirred within me. Ava has been everything i dreamt of as a teenager. I have many regrets now.I wasn’t sure how to move past this. I kissed Avery to distract her, but for once,
