Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I was walking down the stairs when Duke glanced in my direction and his eyes focused on me. I felt conscious because his emotionless face never changed, but I saw when his lips slightly parted open before he regain his cold and serious composure again.I wanted to smile at myself because I somehow got his attention, but before I can even do that, I already caught myself. Why do I feel happy knowing that in a short span of time, Duke gave his attention to me?His looks could also mean that I don’t look presentable enough in his eyes.When I stood in front of Duke, he looked at me from head to toe before he avoided his eyes on me and cleared his throat.“Let’s go,” he said before he encircled his arm on my waist.I looked at him with a confused look before I walk beside him out of the mansion.“Where are we going?” I asked in a low tone of my voice.Duke guided me to enter his limousine. When I’m already inside, I saw Tiffany from the second floor of the mansion w
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I couldn’t be more shocked by the fact that they’re all bidding with millions of dollars for a diamond gem that I’m not even interested in. I would stop my very best to grimace from time to time whenever I would hear the prices that they want to bid for the gems.“Don’t you want to bid?” I heard Duke whisper beside me. “I pushed on holding this event so you could attend and have your fun.”I glanced at Duke beside me before I bit my bottom lip and shake my head at him, “I don’t have money.”Duke’s face was emotionless when he look back at me from watching the bidders.“Don’t worry about the money, go and bid. I’ll pay for everything.” His voice was serious when he told me that before I felt his hand on my leg.I sighed and looked in front of us. The next in line for the bidding is a jewelry set that’s made of a very rare and expensive gemstone.I’m familiar with the gems that they’re holding right now as I once see some of them from my uncle’s house before. But
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I started walking towards there, but even before I could reach the door, Duke’s bodyguards stood in front of me, stopping me from entering the room.I started feeling the fear inside me while looking at their g*ns. Though they weren’t pointing it to me, I feel like they can point it to me anytime, especially if I would insist on entering that room.But I can’t just stand here and do nothing. What if something already happened to Duke? He’s my husband and I shouldn’t be just waiting here! “Let me in,” I coldly said while thinking negatively about my husband’s health.I know that the Myers Mafia had always been known for their power and strength, but they have their limits, too. Despite my cold voice, they didn’t sway or even flinch upon hearing me. How did I forget? Mafia is already known for its hard attitude.“I said let me in!” I hissed at them, but they wouldn’t really move to let me go through. “Are you deaf?!”I’m already about to cry in worry for my husb
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.“Come in,” I heard Duke’s voice inside his office.I held the doorknob and opened the door to enter his office. I found Duke inside with his father and both eyeing me with their serious eyes.“I-It’s Monday tomorrow,” I started before I lowered my head. “I was thinking if I can still finish my studies in college?”“What for?” I heard Chairman Myers' voice, asking me in a cold tone.I looked up at him with a confused look. “Isn’t education important?”They looked at each other meaningfully before Chairman Myers stood up and left the room. I guess they talked through mind linking so I wouldn’t hear them.“Duke?” I asked and he looked back at me.I saw when Duke clenched his jaw before he loosen his necktie.“Come here.” He commanded with his dark voice.I slowly walked in his direction and the moment I stood in front of him, Duke pulled my hand so I could sit on his lap. I’m now directly facing him and I can’t help but to feel shy with our position even though it
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.“We were interrupted last night. What do you think of doing it tonight, hmm?” He brushed his lips into mine.“I-I think…” I pushed him away from me. “It’s better if we will rest tonight. I know you’re tired already, you did a lot of work today and you will also have training tomorrow, right?”“Who told you about the training?” Duke slowly got up so I did the same.“I heard the maids when I was on my way here,” I sat straight while moving my feet on the floor. “I heard that it always took you hours and sometimes from sunrise to evening whenever you would hold a training session.”I saw him nodding his head at me before he stood up and offered me his hand. I hesitantly accepted his hand and let him guide me to stand in front of him.“What time would your class be?” He asked before he tucked my hair behind my ear. “And how long will it take?”“Ah…” I looked around while thinking about my schedule. “From seven in the morning to twelve in the afternoon is my schedule
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.When I woke up, I was confused that I didn’t get to see Duke in bed. I looked at my body and found that I’m still covered with the mattress, only my und*rwear was left intact on me, like how I slept after what Duke and I did last night.I thought that Duke and I would really consummate our marriage last night, and that he will mark me as his wife through my body, but none of that happened. He didn’t push through after we reached the peak of our own needs. Duke was too gentle when he laid me down on the bed and let me sleep, though not in his arms because he got a call last night, but he told me to sleep here, in his bed.I smiled before I looked at the digital watch beside me. It’s already five in the morning, a bit early for my first class but I prefer to wake up at this time. I saw Duke’s polo in the corner, it’s new and looked clean so I picked it up before I wore it and went out of his room.The maids that were cleaning the room were even shocked to see me
Tiffany’s P. O. V.“Our Lycan Queen was so considerate! I thought she was a cold and heartless rogue like her sister, but I’ve judged her wrongly. She was better than Valerie Catalina!” I heard one of the maids say while proudly smirking to herself.“Imagine, she sacrificed her own education just to look after us and commit more to her duty as our Lycan Queen! No one else could’ve done such a thing other than her!”“I’ve heard from my colleague outside that our Lycan Queen has always been devoted to her studies. Her batch mates are always jealous of her high grades and every man in their university always wanted to court her.” She looked at the other maids after wiping the lamp. “But our Lycan Queen doesn’t seem to notice that she’s adored and loved by many in their university. They said that she’s always aloof to everyone and wouldn’t make even one friend!”“That only means that she’s more focused on where she’s supposed to be responsible! A kind of woman like that is very suited to
Avery Elise’s P. O. V.I watch as the Omegas have fun in the corner while having their late lunch. I’m glad that they’re still being treated fairly despite the fact that they’re the weakest in the pack. Some Omegas I know from different packs were never given the fair treatment. Despite the strict training, I can still say that Duke did a good job in disciplining the whole pack. “Luna Queen,” I heard someone calling me from my back.I turned around and saw that it was Lory. She was walking towards me with Gamma Adriel beside her. There was also someone walking with them, but I couldn’t tell who he was.“You’re back. How did it go?” I took the glass of juice beside me and handed it to Lory.She was taken aback because of what I did, but she still accepted the glass from my hand.“It went well according to what you’ve requested, Luna Queen,” Lory said before she looked at the men behind her. I looked at Gamma Adriel before my eyes turned to the man beside him.“And you must be?” I as
