"You're... oh," I whispered, my eyes rolling back as his lips found that irresistible spot on my neck. "You’re mated!" I gasped, barely finding my voice. Julian's eyes burned with a golden fire as he nodded. "You’re still mine, Avery. I want to own every inch of your body and soul." His words swept away my senses, rekindling feelings I thought had died three years ago. How could he say that and not make my heart flutter? But I hadn't learned my lesson then and feared I still hadn't. _________ My mate chose another woman, parading their love in front of me and shattering my heart into pieces. The pain was unbearable—I lost our baby and, with it, the last hope that he might one day love me. The harsh truth that he never cherished me cut more profound than any wound, leaving scars that time couldn’t heal. Three years later, fate brought us together again in the most unexpected way. Despite the pain and every warning in my mind, I find myself drawn to him again.
View MoreAVERY POVPRESENTLYNow, by size, Aisha was barely above average. I was a few inches taller than she was, but I believed our body mass would be the same. I knew there was something special about her.Even as I had never seen her combat skill, I knew she'd definitely be strong. At least, she looked the part, although she was timid.I didn't know she was this strong.I had believed Aisha was a werewolf. Now I know better."I am a witch," Aisha said as if she knew what I was thinking. "I am sorry I didn't reveal myself to you."She winced staring down at her feet, "I was too weak to defend Jason. I couldn't bring myself to fight off the attackers. I failed you."I wanted to blame her. If she had this strong enough magic to knock me out, why hadn't she done the same when the attacker came to take Jason away? Why did she watch them go with him without fighting back with all her might?But then again, it wasn't her fault. I knew she couldn't fight with all of them because Julian was also ha
AVERY POVA FEW HOUR EARLIERI watched Julian walk to the wardrobe, open it, and toss out a few clothes."What are you doing?" I asked, moving away from the wall I had been leaning on."You have yet to tell me everything I need to know," I said."I did tell you everything," Julian grunted, taking a dress shirt.He slipped out of the torn shirt and hastily put on the red plaid dress shirt, and then he stepped out of his pants as well."Are you going somewhere? You gave me half the information. Who's tailing you?" I said as he began to wear the chinos pants he had set aside."It's for your safety," Julian murmured."Yeah, my son was kidnapped for my safety, too," I rolled my eyes at him.Julian stopped what he was doing briefly to stare at me. "Trust me, Avery. Even when I sit you down to tell you everything you need to know, you'd still be confused, and secondly, I'd be exposing you to more danger."I let out an impatient sigh. I wasn't satisfied with the answers he was giving. I wante
AVERY POVq"Tell him, Avery. Tell him the truth about who you are before he finds out from someone else!"I jerked awake, my heart thumping wildly.Eileen wanted me to tell Julian what I was. Shit. No. I couldn't. I couldn't risk telling him that. Although finding out from someone else would be riskier, at least I would be out of here before that happens. I was sure of that. I couldn't risk doing that to myself and Jason and then facing another ridicule other than the one I was currently facing. I stared around where I was. I was inside the room, but Julian wasn't there. I remembered speaking to him but couldn't remember falling asleep.Groaning, I climbed down from the bed and staggered to the vanity. Brushing my hand through my hair as I stared into the mirror, I grimaced as my hand went to the back of my neck. There was a bump there, but I couldn't remember how I got it."Julian," I murmured, looking around the room again before shuffling to the bathroom. He wasn't in the room or
JACK POVI stared at who was before me again, blinking several times, hoping I saw things and the image would disappear to reveal the natural person behind all that was happening, but nothing happened, which meant it was real.She was real. As she stepped closer, I was hit by her scent. I was used to the same citrus; now, it seemed even more potent. I wondered if it was because we were in an enclosed place. Maybe it was the reason I could smell her even better."Y...you," I murmured as I found my voice again."You looked shocked," Emily said. She sighed, flipping her hair out of her face.Clicking her fingers, another figure appeared; this time, it was one of the guards, and he had a chair with him.He placed the chair behind Emily, and she slowly sat on it."You were in the infirmary," I said. At least, I was aware she was in there. She was lying sick on the bed, waiting to be treated. Was that all a lie? Avery was telling the truth then, and we didn't believe her. No, I believed Ave
JULIAN POVTHE NEXT DAY"Hey," I gripped Avery's hand as she walked past me for the hundredth time."What?" she answered, and her eyes narrowed."Lose that expression," I said."Why should I?" she retorted.I groaned, shaking my head.He'd been this way since I returned from the journey alone. She barely answered my questions appropriately, and she glared more at me.The intensity of her glare scares me and makes me want to do everything by her. I had never seen Avery furious until now, even when she slapped Sophia, which had pleased me secretly as I had been waiting for whom to make her keep shut.She never seemed that much angry as now. Now I believed if she had the power, she was going to rip out my heart and put it on a stake in front of me, then watch me slowly desiccate and turn to ashes."Are you mad at me?"I asked, even though I knew she was mad at me. It wouldn't take a genius to know that.Avery's brows furrowed and she narrowed her eyes at me."You did something wrong?" she
JACK POVTHE SAME DAYFAR FROM THE ARGENT PACK HOUSE. UNKNOWN LOCATIONGroaning as I came awake, I opened my eyes slowly, blinking away the black dots lining my vision. It took a few minutes for my eyes to get accustomed to the dimness of the room.When it eventually did, I grimaced. I couldn't ascertain where I was. In a slaughter room, maybe due to the blood that was splattered on the wall, and well, the many devices I was seeing.It was the most devices I had seen for torture. Despite being an alpha and many people believing I do partake in torturing those who offended me in the pack house, I hadn't seen this much device before.And for one, I had never partook in punishing anymore. There were people for that, and no one was punished unjustly."How does it feel being at the mercy of another, Alpha? Alpha Jack," my captor said.I hadn't seen him since I got taken."How's your head? I believe it's healing fast," he said again."Healing fast?" I snorted, "Why don't you come to see for
AVERY POVJulian was hiding something from me, and I knew that. At least, I knew he wasn't injured, as he had wanted people to believe. It was all just a ruse. Why? I didn't know.And for the life of me, I didn't know where he had gotten the blood on him from. It was as if he had killed an animal and soaked himself in its blood.Julian winced as Aisha returned for the third time today. I stared at him to see him looking at me discreetly with a smile.I also wanted to return the smile, but it would be weird to do so in this situation. For now, Aisha assumed he was wounded and needed the utmost care.It needed to be kept as such."Do you need anything else, ma'am?" she asked me and stared at Julian."Rest," Julian whispered. "I need a rest for the day.""Do I get the beta?""No!" Julian exclaimed quickly, and then he winced again.I raised a brow at him, frowning."For now, no one should know about this. I trust you well enough to keep your mouth shut, hence coming to you," He said.Ais
AVERY POVTWO DAYS LATERIt was exactly two days and a few hours since Jason was taken from the pack house, and no, he hadn't been found. Despite all the assurance I had gotten, Jason hadn't returned.I had nagged at Julian and said whatever to anyone who cared to listen, but they only stared at me. They only looked at me with pity.No one could help me, and no one had been able to help me. I was utterly alone.Now I wondered why I had come to the Argent pack house in the first place. I asked why Eileen had told me that Julian could help me and I should run to him.Perhaps she had done that so I would run for my life. I believe she herself wasn't sure if I was going to be helped or not.I paced to the window side, parted the curtain, and opened the window.Letting in a deep breath, I let it out slowly as the wind whipped my face. It was frigid today, and I doubted it would be good to walk outside despite how clear and lovely the sky was.Aside from not seeing Jason, I hadn't seen Juli
JULIAN POVAvery was being invasive. For my life, I didn't know why she wasn't responding to my question the way I wanted. It was as if she had preplanned all the answers in her head, and with each question I asked her, she would have changed the subject to what happened three years ago.I was guilty of that, I know. But then again, it was barely my fault. I knew no amount of explanation would make me look innocent in her eyes."Can we leave here?" she asked, looking around and then back at me. She wrapped her arms around herself and she gave a little shudder."I do not feel comfortable being here," she said."Why?" I asked her.This was the West of the pack house. It was one of the best spots in the whole of the pack house to walk around. Not only were there few people to be seen here, but it boasted a lot of things for recreational activities.Pack members only came around when they were free.For now, it was too busy for anyone to be here."Are you cold?" I asked her. "The sun is t
