JamesI had a nightmare. A masked man was dragging my wife away from me. Avery was screaming my name and trying to hold my hand. I was trying to run to her, but someone who’s face I couldn’t see kept dragging me back.“Avery! Avery!” I kept screaming in fear, but my wife was disappearing before my very eyes.“Avery!” I screamed as I jumped awake.“Nephew, You’re awake!” I looked up to see Uncle Luther looking down at me with a worried frown.I felt dizzy as my memories started to flood my mind. I remember that we were attacked by northern men, and they had overpowered me before I blacked out.But what happened to my wife?“Uncle? Where’s my wife?” I asked and Lizzy suddenly appeared and rushed to hug me.“I’m here baby. You were passed out for hours, I was so scared.” She cried against my shoulder.I pulled away from her and frowned. “Where’s my wife?” I asked again as the nightmare replayed in my mind. “Where’s Avery?” I added for clarity but Lizzy looked away.“Nephew maybe you sho
Avery I didn’t know what I expected the northern kingdom to look like, but it was certainly not this. When I thought about Alpha Kane, I pictured dirty, old, dark, depressing castles that resembled dungeons. I never expected state of the art architecture or beautiful blooming flowers everywhere.The castle itself was majestic. Tall and proud, not flashy, yet it commanded attention and respect. Everything looked and smelt of wealth. I thought back to my pack house and realized that it wasn’t nearly up to half the size of one wing of this castle.We were led into what looked like a waiting room and forced to line up with our heads bowed. All of us were hand cuffed, but the men tied me up in another set of silver chains because of my earlier stunt with Greyson’s nose. I looked at Greyson’s bruised nose and smirked. I was very proud of my self.A man walked in, and from the sound of his steps, I realized that he was tall and confident… most probably someone important.I took a peek at
**Avery’s Pov "Her husband is fucking another woman!" A voice announced behind me. “Really?” Another asked. "Yes! because how else can an Alpha stay married to a disgusting, weak, pathetic commoner?!" She replied. "I heard she killed her own mother! that's why the moon goddess stripped away her powers! She claims she has a wolf but she can't even shift! Who has ever heard of a Luna that can't shift?! How disgusting!" I didn't need to turn around to know who they were. It was Shuri my husbands ex and Erica, her minion. They were two noblewomen born into the pack’s elite royal bloodline. I am not a weak woman, and trust me when I say that every inch of my skin itched to break their noses, but I couldn't do that. Their fathers were powerful lawmakers of the pack, so no matter how much they bullied me, I could not do anything. Because even though I was the Luna, I was a weak werewolf who still couldn’t shift. Their insults continued and I was quickly losing my patience
Chapter 2 James eyes widened in surprise. “W-what?” “You heard me. Remember what you said when you asked me to marry you? You swore to reject your mate when you found her, so do it.” “Avery.. I can’t just—“ “Do it James!” I yelled. It felt like I was losing my mind. Lizzy suddenly screamed and fell to her knees, clutching James’s leg. “Please no! Please don’t reject me! I have a heart condition remember? If you reject me, I won’t be able to handle it, I’ll die! Please tell him sister.” Lizzy begged, looking at me with tears in her eyes. It was true, one of the reasons that I and Lizzy had grown very close was because she was diagnosed with a heart condition when she was 5.Luckily we managed to keep her healthy but she had always been fragile. We were always worried that too much shock or stress would kill her so we did everything and gave her everything to make her always comfortable. But now she wanted my husband too? No! I couldn’t give her that. “Avery please.” James begge
James POV Avery is my wife, and I love her. I love her so much that my heart aches sometimes. From the moment she walked in and asked me to help the farmers, I was struck by how stunning and brave she was. Her Hazel eyes glowed with specks of gold in the sun and I felt my heart stop immediately. I was in love, and I needed her with me forever. I knew that she was a commoner, and I knew about her disability —that she couldn't shift, but I didn't care. I just wanted her.It was difficult to convince her to marry me so quickly, but I knew I could make her happy and my persistence finally won her over. When I had sworn to reject any fated mate that I might find, I meant it. I loved her so much that I could never imagine another woman taking her place. I was 23 and way past the age of finding a fated mate. I honestly believed I didn’t have a fated mate, and I would have never Imagined in a thousand years that my fated mate would be her sister Lizzy. I truly felt horrible. Avery loves
Chapter 4 Avery's POV When I awoke, James had already left. Usually he’d wake me up with kisses when he was about to leave but I guess he must have forgotten to do so today. I wonder why. I tried not to let it get to me as I got ready for the day. I picked up my phone just to see a notification of almost 200 messages and about 50 missed calls. I didn’t need to open them to know what they were about. I guess the news about my husband in bed with my sister had already spread around. I sighed and put down my phone. I still couldn’t believe that this wasn’t just a horrible nightmare. Just yesterday morning, I was a happily married woman, but today?..... I don’t even know if the man who married me still really wants me. I tried to drown out these negative thoughts in the bath, but just like yesterday, the water was overheated and I didn’t realize it until my shampoo bottle started contorting and crumbling under the heat. I quickly shut the water off, mildly wondering how I hadn’t mel
Chapter 5 “Sister.” She acknowledged with a sad smile. For a moment I was at loss for words. Her big blue eyes were staring at me with warmth and guilt.She looked tired and I could see dark circles around her eyes too. She’d obviously been crying but she hadn’t tried to hide the evidence like I had. A confusing mix of emotions swirled around in my brain. Yes, I was definitely mad at her for endangering my marriage, but at the same time I felt a little sad for our pure relationship that had now been ruined.After all, Lizzy never chose to be fated to James. No, I had the moon goddess to thank for that. Lizzy had simply reacted to her natural instincts and done what most women would do when meeting their fated mates. And looking at her now, I could see that she obviously felt bad for her actions. So how could I blame her for something that was out of her control?I still wanted to punch her though. “I am so sorry sister.” Lizzy began. “I never ever meant to — I didn’t want to—- I’
Chapter 6 I didn’t see the dark haired man when we finally entered the hall. But that wasn’t surprising because it was a very large hall, holding almost two thousand people. The spring pack was the largest, most prosperous and most advanced pack in the west, so even though there were a multitude of packs all over the west, the east and the south, the head quarters of our overall governing Council was established here, in our pack. Every important person of power was here. From the Alphas to the noblemen, and finally the panel of elders. Alphas may be the rulers of their pack’s, but these twelve elders of the Council where the final judges of the Alphas. As usual, the meeting began with the most urgent and important topic. The topic of “The Blight.”The Blight was a deadly pandemic that had plagued our people for decades now. It was a rotten infestation that slowly consumed and destroyed everything it touched. From livestock, to plants and finally pack members. Nothing and no one
