“I-I am Avery Cray..” She replied. My whole being stopped when I heard it. No.. Of all people, her? After all these years the person I was avoiding turned out to be my mate. The most unwanted mate. Anything but her. I will happily stay alone but why of all people… a human mate? I grit my teeth as heartbreak filled me. The grief filled me up for having her as my mate, a human and she doesn’t even realize what tribulation has been caused. The intense dolor crushed my hopes, my chest tightened in pain. Devoid of devastation, it crashed upon me, taking me to the depth of the abyss.
“Will you help me?” She asked again, dragging me from my thoughts. I gradually changed my expressions into my usual cold one as I looked at her with a bored expression and said, “Come with me. Ashley is my sister.” Her face lit up in happiness when she heard it. “Nice to meet you! You are Blaze, right?” She grinned, forgetting the fact she was about to lose her life a few seconds ago. I hummed and began to walk, not paying attention to her and controlling the overwhelming feeling of desires and longing in me. Why of all people, her?
…I thought I was miserable before having a mate but meeting her was the start of my journey of devastation and darkness…
We reached back to the mansion. “Thank you.” She said sincerely. She was about to take a step further but I held her arm. She looked at me perplexed and it irks me to see why she doesn’t have any shred of fear or any negative emotion in her why she is looking at me as if she is protected. I took off my coat and gave it to her, “Wear it, your dress is ripped from places.” I said, looking away. “Thank you.” She smiled and took it from me and wore it. My heart skipped a beat when she took it from me. She looked cute wearing my coat and the smile lingering on her lips is just…- Goddamn it, stop thinking like this!
She wore it and we went inside from the doorsteps of hell for both of us.
I didn’t say anything and glared at anyone who dared to ask what I was doing with a girl with ripped clothes and in my coat and took her to Ashley’s room. “Avery!” Ashley yelled and engulfed her in a hug. “I was so worried about you. You okay?!” She exclaimed. “But I am fine. Thanks to your Brother… By the way, I didn’t know there were wolves here! What a dangerous place you guys are living, aren’t you scared?” She said, intrigued and enthusiastic at the same time. What’s with this girl? Who tells her we are one of them. Ashley chuckled and replied, “We are used to it-” But then some sudden realization hit her as she stopped and looked at me in shock, not expecting me to save a human and moreover her friend; the person I hate.
“Brother saved you?” Ashley asked vaguely. The girl grinned and nodded. Ashley looked at my coat Avery was wearing and looked at me suspiciously.
“Girls, Help our guests to change.” I said to everyone in the room.
“You go and change, Avery. I need to talk to Brother.” Ashley said, eyeing me. Avery nodded and left with the girls, leaving us alone. She closed her arms at her chest and narrowed her eyes at me. “Brother… You, who hate humans. Saved one. You went to find her yourself and gave her your coat. Your clothes you didn’t even let me wear, you gave it to her.” She said, waiting for me to give her any explanation. She knows me and I know I cannot lie to her.
“She is my mate.” I said nonchalantly, trying my best not to burst my anger. Her eyes widened in terror when she heard it. None of us expected me to have such a fate. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Brother.” She said worried. “No, it’s fucking not. I have got a goddamn human as my mate.” I said exasperatedly in a low voice.
“Brother she is engaged, she is about to get married.” Ashley said. She is talking about her, what about her brother who died to have a mate and now when he has one it turned out to be a hateful human? Fury took over me but A needle pricked in my heart when I heard about her marriage. I am certainly not planning to let her go, I may hold a grudge for her but after my suffering I have no intentions of letting her go for the sake of my pack. I need a mate and I will have her. I grit my teeth and replied to Ashley in an angry whisper, “I don’t give a damn. That girl is my mate and not even heaven can take her away from me- even if I hate her. I will never let her go. Not after spending those tormenting times without a mate. Me and my pack need the presence of this vulnerable creature and she will be mine.”
“And you are going to destroy her life for it..”
“Her life shattered the very instant when I found out she is my mate.” I enunciated. Ashley shook her head and let out a sigh of frustration, “You can’t be serious, brother. What would you do if she found out that you are not a human? How are you going to adjust with a human? Can you even love her?” She asked, agitated.
“Ashley. Do. not. question. me.” I warned her. She closed her mouth knowing that my patience is on the verge of breaking. “Brother..”She whispered. I looked at her infuriated and walked out of her room and went to mine, trying to impede the unwanted thoughts growing inside me unwillingly.
I growled in extreme consternation, knowing that I am stuck in a very bad position because I know I cannot reject her for the sake of the pack and I cannot live my life with her. The dreams I treasure in my heart shattered to pieces, the emotions of love I used to imagine burned to ashes. The tombs of devotion turned dusty.Everything fell apart before it could even start. It was no less than a curse. I grit my teeth and not being able to bear this burning rage inside me I began to throw things around in my room. I cursed loudly and broke everything that came to my hand. A deep pain inflicted on me and broke me apart. Heartache pushed me in those bottomless pits of turmoil. Why are all despairs in my fate? I don’t know what I should do, just a sensation of hurt left in me. What I strive to receive becomes a curse for me. Why is this blasphemous with me? I, who hate humans and now destined with one. Was my
I was sitting in the lounge, quietly reading a book feeling the peace in the air and diverting my mind from anything that can ruin my day, for example; My mate; Avery and the human; Avery and my sister’s best friend; Avery. In all; from Avery. I just want a moment of equanimity to think about what I should do. “Do I really have to mark that pathetic girl?” I asked myself, pondering. Whether I should force her to be with me and mark her and let her go but the mate-pull inside me won’t let me but it’s would be easy like this, I could mark her and then she can do whatever she wants but what will happen to me that way I will become more tensed and if I force her to be with me the chances of loving each other would be zero which are already zero.
“By the way, how can you live here with all these wolves, aren’t you scared?” She asked. She is just speaking, non-stop. But I don’t know why, I kind of liked hearing her talking. “They only harm the outsiders... let’s just say they are our guardian.” I said, carefully using my words. “And everyone calls you Alpha so you must be the leader of them.” She joked. I remained silent, not replying to her. “You are very talkative… Just like Ashley said.” I said. In our conversations, the main topic would be Avery. Ashley kept rambling about her, how’s she, what she does, what she likes and all but I never paid attention to it, even in the pictures and now the main topic of my life is her. “Oh, sorry.” She laughed nervously and continued to pack. “Avery.” I called her. The way her name rolled over my life is blissful yet repugnant at the same time. I don’t want to think about her in this way. No matter what, my disapproval will not decrease. She hummed and I continued, “What Ashley told y
Avery POV:- I couldn’t believe he said that. I respect him so much because he saved my life but he just turned out to be a scum. I thought he was a gallant guy but he can be anything but chivalrous. How he touched me in such a repulsive way, saying those unnerving words to me, leaving me defenseless. I never felt like this before. It seems his presence drained my energy. It sends shivers down my spine just to think about it. Those fierce words of his are stirring my mind drastically, submerging me in fright. I couldn’t fathom why he said that. How can I be his mate? I don’t want to be his mate. I won’t even let this happen. I cannot be his mate. I love Jeremy. He is the only one for me. I will never allow myself to even think about him. But somewhere in my heart, it terrifies me to no extent just to think about what he is planning to do, what limits he can cross. I
“Congratulations.” He said standing up after invading my room without permission. “What are you doing here?” I whispered, taking a step back. My whole being stiff in fright upon seeing him right here, in my room. “So then… getting married at the end of October.” He said, his voice lingered in mockery as he took steady steps towards me. A convulsion shook my core as a horror swept across my face when he came close. “Don’t come closer.” I was about to leave or call someone but before my mind could register what happened, the door was closed and locked and I was pinned firmly against it. I tried to yell but he put his hand over my mouth. I endeavored to get out of his grasp but to no avail, he held me firmly. My heart pounded against my chest. My breath caught up in my throat, my strength slowly deprived from me. His presence crushed me miserably. “If you struggled one more time..” He began to say with his voice lethally low. His hot breath blew my face and startled me in dread. “I wi
Months passed in the blink of an eye, a rapid wave of breeze and gave a weather of good luck and no more dread. And at this moment I don’t think anything could go wrong. A deep melody of love and never ending blessing are one step away from me. The inexplicable elation built inside me and took me to the world of star where I could be with Jeremy and no one can harm us and take me away from him. The place where I will become his and he will become mine and no one could break this bond. A week left for my marriage, I am so content about it, my exhilaration is beyond anyone’s comprehension. It’s like all happiness is knocking on my door and nothing can take this away from me. Not even that revolting guy. I wonder what papers he made me sign but I don’t care about it. I haven’t seen him after that day, it’s been months and I have decided not to think about it and ruin the special time of mine. Maybe he
“ What can he do after it anyways?" I laughed off but the look plastered on Ashley's face alarmed me for a torment moment I might never have imagined. Blaze menacing plans are horrifying, the fear aroused in me by the tension of the future is immense and I don’t want any negativity. "I just don't know. I hope Brother will not ruin neither your nor his life." She breathed out after a prolonged silence, pulling her hairs in frustration. I shook my head, not wanting to think about anything bad before my marriage. "Leave it. Don't think about it. I haven't seen Blaze in a few months. I don't think he will do anything." "I hope so." “We can talk about your marriage life and gain some tricks and tips.” I grinned. We then changed our topic and talked about other things to divert our minds and turn oblivious to the upcoming afflictions. Just focusing on the moments and not having any consternation about the future. *** My heart flutters with extreme happiness which extends to no bounda
“Avery is my wife!” Upon hearing it the Earth beneath my feet stopped. My mind was in a state of shock to hear his absurd words. The unpredictable turns of events shook my very core. I fell into the cracks of my lamentable fate, falling deep into the depths of the abyss. I cannot fathom, I couldn't react. His vehement words deprived me of energy. I exhaled and raised my fragmented gaze. Tears threatened to fall but I held them back somehow. I looked at Blaze, standing almighty and unaffected by the disaster he had caused. I swallowed hard and blinked a few times, thinking it was nothing but a horrible nightmare. But I know it's not. "Watch your mouth." Jeremy growled. I quickly got away from Blaze and moved back.
