Avery's POV

The stinging feeling of a slap landed on my cheeks and I fell to the ground. I didn't know how to react after he slapped me. I didn't know if I should cry or just keep quiet.

"So you started disobeying orders and sneaking out with him right? Well, well done Avery. Cheapen yourself and make just anyone take you out when you have a mate." He said with a scorn and I scoffed, looking up at him.

"I don't have a mate, you rejected me, remember?" I said and he looked down at me in disbelief. "I don't understand why you are treating me like this. Let's just return to before you ever knew I was your mate. I was invisible to you and you were to me. I'm begging you." I pleaded with tears rolling down my cheeks.

I didn't understand why he wasn't acting like this at all. If he wants me or wants to claim I am his mate when he sees me with another man, then he should have just accepted the mate bond.

A devilish smirk appeared on his lips as he squatted before me and grabbed my chin harshly. "How naive you are Avery. You dare to question what I want and what I am doing? Because Devon is giving you attention, you think you are on top of the world now?"

He tightened his grip around my chin as his smile grew even wider. "You think when he lures you away, he wouldn't treat you worse than I am right now? Yes I want you Avery but you are way below my league and I cannot be seen with you who can't even access her own wolf." As soon as he said that, something snapped in me and I pushed him away.

"You made it happen. I wish I was never your mate in the first place. Because of you, I didn't get to bond with my wolf before you breaking the mate bond made her disappear." I screamed with tears rolling down my cheeks and he stood up, wiping the side of his lips.

"It's not your fault. Alpha Devon is leaving in two days, and you will not set eyes on him one bit till he leaves." He said as he walked towards the table where I kept my keys.

"You can't do that to me." I said as I crawled after him, grabbing his leg and he looked down at me.

"I knew it, you already like that good for nothing man. I would not let that happen under my watch. You are mine, Avery. My mate or now, I own you." He said as he slipped away, locking the door behind him.

I banged on the door, yelling at him to open the door but he wasn't even listening to me at all. Fresh tears started rolling down my cheeks as I curled up in a ball. I don't know why I have to live like this. Why can't I be like everyone else, without a problem like this and free to live?"

I slowly crawled over to my bed, burying my face in my pillow as I cried my eyes out. When I thought my miserable life would be better, the moon goddess had to give me a monster of a mate who doesn't even care about my feelings or anything.

More tears rolled down my cheeks and I didn't know when I slept off. I woke up again to the sound of my door closing and I looked at the door to see a tray of a proper breakfast placed there.

I haven't had a proper breakfast in years and I wondered why I was brought one this morning. I walked over to it and just then, I realized I wasn't in my basement room. I looked around confused to realize I was in the room just right next to Lucien 's. I knew this because he used to ask me to clean up the room.

I was taken aback. Even Stella wasn't given any room in his quarters and now he was putting me in one? He was confusing me and I hated it. I gently sat in front of my food at the door and started to eat the food hurriedly.

I didn't eat last night and I had to fill myself up and be sorry later if it was a mistake for bringing the food over to me. I couldn't remember how meat tasted and now I was eating and savoring one, which almost made me cry.

If my mother hadn't abandoned me while I was young, maybe I would have a better life and not have to live like a beggar now. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand as I hurriedly ate the food, before going to the bathroom.

I looked around for what to wear and when I opened the wardrobe, I saw a set of new clothes in there. I immediately closed the door to the wardrobe.

"They aren't mine. I shouldn't touch them." I said. I knew if I touched them, Lucien would kill me. And as I thought about him, the door was unlocked again and he stepped in, running his fingers through his hair.

"So you're awake." He said with a smirk. "Good, and you ate the food. I thought you would act like your lowly self and not eat it." He said mockingly as a maid walked in to pack the tray.

He turned to leave before looking back at me. "And the clothes are yours. The rags you wear hurt my eyes." He slammed the door and I clenched my fists angrily but I swallowed hard.

The day passed by slowly and I didn't know what was happening on the outside at all.

Soon, the door opened again and I was expecting Lucien or a maid, but Donovan stepped in, with a tray of food with him and a bright smile.

"Uncle Donovan ." I said, rushing over to him. He was the only good news I've seen today.

"Listen to me carefully, Avery. I should not be here but, run. Go with Devon . He will treat you better than Lucien is. Lucien is a monster and very soon, he will get rid of you."

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 171

    Lucien's Pov Walking down the aisle was one thing I never imagined I would do. The thought of walking down a path lined with roses and a red carpet, and holding someone in my arms beside me that I promised to love and care for, seeming like a foreign concept. It felt weird to think that I had finally been humbled. And that I had finally been brought to my knees to consider love as anything more than erotic pleasure. It still felt strange to me that I had actually gotten here. To this point? And a part of me really felt proud.I never thought I would get here and I never thought I would actually get married… I had feared I would end up living and dying as hedonistic. But I guess miracles happen, and this just happened to be mine. I was happy even though I was a bit confused and tepid. I looked courageous and smug but I was still scared internally. I feared my old habits would come back to haunt me. And I worried I wouldn't be the best husband for Avery… She was a beautiful soul and ho

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 170

    Avery's PovTwo months later The crowd had gathered for the festivities and the courtyard was full of life. The entirety of Silverwood had been called for this occasion and everyone with ears had heeded the call. The streets were lined with people, stalls and activity. Musicians filled the streets with instruments and sounds. Some of the stalls filled with ale and the people were aloof and afloat. Food was bountiful. As steaks rolled over fires and men sold rottiserie chicken and smoked seasoned salmon over counters. The energy all around contagious. No single soul lost or sad or broken. Everyone, irrespective of class or status had come and were happy. All needs were met and all wants provided. It had been two months now and the town of Silverwood had gone from chaos and fighting to peace and tranquility. The people had reached a calm and began rebuilding. The torn ties, the distrust and the loss. The grieving families had been supported and helped to move on. Everyone was slowly an

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 169

    Luciens's PovI held her in my hands and I just couldn't contain the feeling. The rush of energy I felt inside and the lightness in my head. Her body was soft and her motion was gentle. I held her close and she sighed quietly; her soft moans driving me crazy as we held each other. I didn't know I could feel this way. And I didn't know I could feel so in love. The state I was in wasn't one of lust or to have her in bed. I held her in my arms now and the only thing I wanted was to have her there. The only thing I wanted was to hold her close and hold her forever…Avery was everything and Avery was beautiful. Her hands around me as she tried to sink into my skin. I could feel her getting closer and edging closer. I could feel her wanting to close the gap and want to be near me. I could feel her energy matched mine and that she wanted me as much as much as I wanted her. The sparks lighting up and almost written in the skies. I really didn't want to let go but I had to. I didn't really wan

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 168

    Avery's PovI woke up now in a gasp. My breathing heavy as I glanced in every direction frantically. I shot out of the chair or bed or whatever I was resting on and got up to my feet. I turned every which way, my eyes swinging from one side of the room to another. Then shooting up to the ceiling to see if what I had seen in my dream wasn't a dream. And if it had been real…It felt too real not to be and I deeply hoped it wasn't just hallucinations. As I looked up at the ceiling to find the carved statuettes but instead I saw a blank ceiling made of wood. I looked around for the white dress. With the veil and the mannequin? But I saw nothing. And now I quickly turned to look for Lucien. To see him maybe in the suit I had seen him in. To see his hair, and to see him smiling wide at me the way I had seen him. With the box in his hand. To hear his voice and hear him explain how he wanted to marry me. And how he had made plans for the wedding. And all he needed was a yes…But I turned arou

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 167

    Avery's PovI woke up confused and I didn't know where I was at first. I struggled to open my eyes and also to keep my vision steady. My eyes opening slowly like curtains and my body feeling weird between my legs. I felt a sharp pain in my hips and I could feel my thighs quake slightly. I looked down at myself to see that I was in robes?... I looked up and I didn't recognise where I was. The room in front of me is different from the one I remembered. The design different from the room I last saw myself in. The windows were wide and open, the curtains were drawn to the sides to let in light. And I found myself on a bigger bed. The sheets very soft and delicate in my hands as I rested on it with my palm, turning my head sideways trying to figure out where I was.“Rise and shine princess…” I suddenly heard a voice call. And I frowned and turned slowly. My head still hurting slightly and my legs strangely weak and tired. I managed to complete the turn and I was surprised to see Lucien stan

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Torn between two Alphas   Chapter 166

    Stella's PovIt just didn't feel right… and it just didn't make any sense. Yet it was all my reality… After all these years of hatred. To only come to realise I was hating my own blood?... That I was hating what I was supposed to love, and loving what I was supposed to hate?... The thought of being abused and used without even realising it made me shiver. I had been lied to so long and so well I couldn't even tell the difference. The lines between what was real and what was false blurring together into one vague absolute. I just couldn't believe the wool had been pulled over my eyes for so long. I had been blinded and led like a sheep and I thought I knew what I was doing? I thought I was right? I thought I was fighting for a good cause?... That my intentions were justified, and the allies were the enemies while the real enemies were actually the allies. I had gone against sensible reason and veered off wildly, and now it made me question my own self?... To believe that I was this
