"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.

Chapter 1

His true mate

AVERY POV:

The sound of laughter filtered through the air, and I chanced a sideways glance. Julian was chuckling at something the brunette who had strut into the office earlier as though she owned it said.

His eyes never left her face gorgeous face. The corner of his lips creased, and I sucked in a deep breath as a stinging sensation pricked at my eyes.

Why couldn't he feel the same way about me in the office? Was I any different from her?

Maybe I was at of his league.

The brunette was drop-dead gorgeous and looked like someone out of a swimsuit Magazine; her long hair had loose curls at the end, and her features were so soft, so womanly, and could attract any man who glanced at her.

Unlike me, in my drab brown suit and the tight bun, I always put my waist-length blonde hair in.

She moved in close, whispering in his ear. He didn't even flinch, his gaze still locked on hers as if she was the only woman that existed to him.

The office was designed in a way that you could see all the things that were happening. I had always loved the transparency, but now it mocked me, its glass screens and minimalist decor a constant reminder of my invisibility at this moment.

The clock ticked endlessly as I waited for a brief minute for her to step out, but she didn't seem like she was in a hurry or leaving anytime soon.

Unable to watch all that was unfolding before me any longer, I stood from my seat, the legs of the chair scraping the floor, garnering the attention of my colleagues.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry," I whispered, striding towards the bathroom.

Breathing out, I stepped towards the mirror; my palms were on the golden sink, clenching tightly.

What was I thinking? That the almighty Alpha Julian Saint Clair would mate with me after giving myself willingly to him?

"You're stupid and naive, Avery," I gritted out.

It should be enough that we were dating, even though no one knew anything about it in the office; it was the lack of respect he had for me that often got to me.

I was his mate, but each time he made me feel as though I was garbage. Garbage that could easily be tossed around whenever.

"Are you alright, Ava?" Leslie, my friend for five years, asked, and I turned to her, nodding and offering her a small smile.

"I'll be fine," I said.

She patted my shoulder before walking out. She didn't know what was happening, and I couldn't as well share it with her despite her being my confidante.

As she left, my eyes returned to the mirror, and they glazed over as I stared longer into the mirror.

Seven years ago, the first time I encountered Julian Saint Clair was at the front of this huge company, barking out orders into his phone.

I was 17 years old, a college student, and trying to support myself financially, and this company, Saint Clair Industries, offers flexible working hours.

I applied and was given the opportunity to come for an interview.

The sight of an angry Julian had sparked a strange sensation within me. I had stayed for a few seconds, awed by his godly features, and almost got run over by a car I didn't see coming.

Julian had saved me by pulling me into his strong arm. He had scolded me as well for being inattentive, and at that moment, a glance at me from his ocean-blue eyes that gleamed like polished sapphires had stirred a strange emotion within me.

It was just a crush, I had said to myself after passing the company's interview, and I assumed it would vanish when I began working, but that never happened.

I had watched all that he was doing around the office discreetly.

It wasn't his beauty alone that had made me fall head over heels for him. It was the aura of superiority, the way he carried himself with an air of confidence, and his fairness to everyone around the office.

Second years passed, and the same longing centered in my heart for Julian while I watched him move around with so many women in his circle. He put me in charge of scheduling each meeting. I believed there was nothing more painful than seeing your crush wine and dine with another woman other than you.

But Julian didn't care about my feelings. He never did acknowledge them for once.

In the third year, Julian had a trip while rushing into his office and broke his arm.

A faint smile formed on my face as I recalled him cursing even though that event was barely amusing.

I had visited him at home not because I wanted to but because it was an obligation. I was his secretary, after all, and I had been tasked to take care of him.

That was the night that changed everything.

Julian had tugged me as I was about to excuse myself for the night and had kissed me. I couldn't push him away even as I wanted to. His lips had felt like a drug, making me giddy, delirious, and wanting more even though he was the one on drugs.

Also, I felt the mate bond for the first time and the connection between us. I felt his mate's imprint burning as I touched him with the same fervor he did.

"Mate," I whispered as be thrust into me. Julian said nothing about it, and I assumed it was the drug doing.

When he came awake, it got worse. At first, he didn't seem to know what had happened until he saw me lying beside him, and he shook me awake violently, demanding what I was doing in his bed.

I had summoned courage and tried to explain to the best of my ability, but Julian had snapped, bared his teeth at me, and ordered me to leave the room as though I was an annoying tramp who had forced myself on him.

The shame that had pressed down on me, as well as the confusion, was overwhelming. I thought he wanted me. Even though I knew it was mostly the drugs, I was happy. For three years, I had been longing for him, and he had eventually done what I desired the most, even though he had looked like he would yank my head off if he were given the opportunity.

Sighing, I caressed my cheeks. I gazed down at my hand to see the tears on it before looking into the mirror.

I shouldn't cry. Julian wasn't worth my tears, but the so many rejections and heartbreak from him was something I couldn't do away with so easily.

Also, realizing I was the only one feeling this. I had asked him before leaving the room if he felt the bond between us, and he had denied it and said he'd never feel anything for me.

That was when I realized I was in a one-way mate bond feeling.

A rare disease that couldn't be cured. A disease the moon goddess had blessed me with.

The irony.

Wiping my tears and splashing water on my face, I stayed in the restroom for a few seconds before stepping out into the office.

Just then, the door opened, and a blonde with bright blue eyes, very fair skin, and a slender build sauntered into the office. The sequined dress she wore was mid-thigh, and the low neckline showed more cleavage than I could imagine. She wasn't perturbed, unlike me, who would never dare to come out in such a dress.

Her red heels were ridiculously high, and she didn't stumble as she walked towards me, her eyes narrowed.

She was Sophia Saint Clair, Julian's little sister and someone who loathed my existence.

"Whore," Sophia snapped.

"E-excuse me?" I said, stunned, glancing around to ensure she wasn't speaking to me.

Sophia laughed humourlessly, "Yes, I am speaking about you, Avery Well, you're a whore, and you can't have Julian."

"What are you talking about?" I laughed nervously, my eyes darting around.

Did he tell Sophia about us? We had been sneaking around since the first time I allowed him access to my body, and it was a relationship that shouldn't get out as it was forbidden to have any affair in the workplace.

It was part of the rule Julian had set, yet he had broken it.

Did he somehow tell Sophia about us? I doubted it. Julian wasn't the kind of person who'd sit his sister down and start discussing his sexual life.

"You took her place and believed he was going to love you, but sorry, dearest, Julian doesn't do tramps like you, and his first love is back. Emily is his true mate; you're just a placeholder," Sophia sneered.

I swallowed hard, blinking back the tears that threatened to slip out of my eyes at her harsh words.

Turning away from Sophia, who continued to yell at me, I halted as I saw Julian again through the glass screen.

He was still with the brunette, and they were shameless not to even close the blind. At least, it would make her heart ache less if I didn't see both of them.

As if noticing I was watching them, the brunette left his side and walked towards me, her hand extended.

"I don't think we've formally introduced ourselves. My name is Emily Bakers, and I am Julian's true mate."

Just the usual weak female lead and jerk, asshole, toxic and biggest red flag male lead as usual. Not worth wasting time and money over this trash.

Mere Plaything
Chapter 2: AVERY POVI am Julian's true mate. Emily's words resonated in my head, and I stared at her extended hand longer than I should have wanted to before looking at her face.I had never been slapped so hard until now. Even when Sophia was yelling at me, it seemed like nothing compared to what I was hearing right now."I've heard a lot about you, Avery, and how resourceful you can be as Julian's secretary; I hope we get along," A bright smile adorned her face.I said nothing because I had nothing to say to her. I didn't know where she had heard about me from, and I doubted it was anything good if it was Sophia who was feeding the information to her."I hope we'll get the opportunity to be able to have a discussion next time," Emily stated."I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you," I muttered, walking away from her.Emily didn't look like she had heard what I said as she smiled broadly. Then she began walking away from me.Her declaration still lingered in my head, but for all I

I'm pregnant
AVERY POVJulian didn't want me. How stupid could I be to have thought so and even went ahead to ask him what we were?I never expected him to utter such a word, but he had.I was back inside the bathroom for the second time, staring at myself in the mirror. After the declaration from Julian, he ushered me out of the office, saying he needed to be somewhere.He hadn't even glanced at me, and he had left!Pulling out a tissue towel from a box near the sink, I blew my nose on it, staring at my coworker beside me as she gagged."Disgusting," she wrinkled her nose.I had never been the most ladylike. Perhaps it was one of the reasons Julian only saw me as a tool for his pleasure.He had never seen me as a Luna material.As the tears subsided and my composure returned, I walked out of the bathroom and into the office, hoping I wouldn't encounter any unpleasantness for the second time.But I had never been the goddess favourite, so my request definitely fell on deaf ears."Do you all know t

Save me, moon goddess
CHAPTER 4: AVERY POV I blinked several times to ensure it was really Emily who had stepped into the room. She flashed me a broad smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, and she closed the door behind her. How did she get here? I couldn't help but wonder. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I wonder whose baby that is," Emily replied instead, ignoring my question. Had Julian shown her the message and asked her to come instead of him? I clutched my phone tightly, staring as she sauntered towards me. "You see, Julian and I are getting married soon," Emily paused. She was closer to me, so close that I could smell her flowery perfume. She flipped her brown hair from her shoulder and sighed dramatically while waving her hand in the air. I caught a glimpse of the princess cut ring on her middle finger. "Yes, we are going to have the grandest wedding and mate ceremony of the century." She gushed as if reading my thoughts. "I have the blessings of his parents already, a

CHAPTER 5: AVERY POV"How are you feeling?" Grace asked as I came awake.Grace had been my best friend since high school. I had known her the longest, and she was the person I said most of the things to, even when I had been afraid to confide in Leslie sometimes.I blinked several times, looking around me. I was in my room and now lying on the bed.I wasn't in my office clothes anymore; instead, I was in my undies. Grace must have changed me out of it."Grace," I whispered. She was the last person I was expecting to see. I had locked the door; how did she get in?"I have a key, remember?" she said, frowning at me. "Are you certain you're fine? Perhaps we should see a doctor...""No, I am fine, and I remember," I said, wincing as I tried to sit up. The pain in my lower back was still evident, but it wasn't as intense as before.I gazed at my thigh and then at the floor, where I had seen blood pooling around my feet. It looked squeaky clean, as if nothing had happened."I cleaned the fl

Disappear or I make you
AVERY POV At age twenty-four, I never thought I'd be jobless, depressed, and roaming the most notorious town in London—Blackthorn, which earned the moniker the Devil's Playground due to its dark history. Perhaps, most of all, what happened in my life was my fault. However, I was sure of one thing: I never asked to be an orphan. I never knew who my parents were, where they lived, or how I was born. That was the sad reality of my life, but I had never dwelled on that ever since I learned how to navigate my way in Aurora Orphanage for good boys and girls to avoid getting bullied. My eyes lit up as I saw the light from the distance and the outline of a building that could only be a pub. Straining my ears, I picked up several sounds, and the most prominent was that of the music playing in the background and clicking of glasses. My legs were killing me. I didn't know how long I had been walking. I didn't take the car along with me because why should I? It belonged to Julian and his comp

Track her number to know her location, and I arrived in front of the most notorious bar that was known on this side of the country.

I'll say nothing.
JULIAN POVI woke up with a fucking Hard on. And that was all Avery's doing.She turned and twisted, her arms flung towards me carelessly while her legs were wrapped around me, trapping me and making my dick hardened even more."Hmm, Mr Burritos," she whispered, then burst out into a peal of laughter."Mr Burittos," I couldn't resist the urge to grunt. My eyes narrowed at her.She had mentioned the name again. Was the person offering her a burrito even in her dream for her to keep calling him?As far as I could tell, one of the things she didn't enjoy eating was a burrito, yet she had mentioned it more than she had eaten it.Or maybe the burrito was in the form of something else.A dick, perhaps?No. I shook my head.Avery sighed, "You smell so good," she whispered.Then her lips puckered, brushing them against my jawline."Shit," I murmured.My hand snaked around her waist, pulling her into me. I had resisted the urge and temptation not to fuck her last night. Due to her condition, i

Blood-binding Contract
AVERY POVThe first thing I did was to guffaw before his words sank in."What? You can't be serious," I giggled, slapping a hand over my mouth to stifle it.Julian continued to glower at me, "Do you think I am kidding? Well, go ahead and read the damned contract." he stated.Julian turned away from me, "I'm willing to forgive you for calling another man's name while in my bed and carelessly speaking of resignation if you return to my bed and promise to be a good girl."Well, damned his forgiveness. He had made me look like a complete mess for seven years. If I indeed was his girlfriend, I was sure as well it wouldn't be in the bedroom alone where I give him pleasure.It wasn't as if I was interested in moving around the whole society with him, but his flaunting women in front of me was uncalled for.He was even treating Emily better than he had ever treated me. Also, I lost my child, our child, because of him.Grimacing as the thought once again flooded into my head, I stepped away fr

Get in trouble, it's on you
AVERY POVI had never belonged to a pack house, and I never knew what it was until my arrival at Nova College.I guess it was barely my fault since I didn't even know I was a werewolf, to begin with.Back at Aurora Orphanage for good boys and girls, I was known as a freak, well, one of the freaks. It wasn't as if I exhibited some strange characteristics, but I guessed it was due to my silence about things happening around me and how I didn't even flinch when the most gruesome things happened.Like when the biggest bully in the orphanage, Larry had gouged out the eyes of Spencer, a lanky, sickly boy whose parents abandoned him at the orphanage gate. Larry and his gang of bullies had cornered Spencer and beat the shit out of him while his gang watched out for the instructors.I had seen everything happen and never would have thought he was going to bring out the scissors and stab them into Spencer's eyes, rendering him permanently blind.Larry had seen me watching them and decided to sp
