Alpha's Slave Mate: Her Redemption 57
Avalyn POV For the next couple hours, I sat in a chair and watched the rain coming down outside, thinking about all of the time I had spent with Alpha Grey. With every flash of lightning in the distance, memories of him flashed before my eyes. I thought of the gentleness he'd shown me when we made love. My hand automatically went to my abdomen where the child was growing.I couldn't believe that someone would show me tenderness, make a baby with me, watch me give birth to their child… and then kill me. But that was Alpha Grey's plan, and that meant I hadto go. Even if that meant I needed to trust the likes ofMadalynn, who had told me herself she didn't want her child to be second in line to the throne. My baby's life was hanging in the balance. But I had to take the gamble and try. A knock on the door pulled me away from thewindow. Tonight hadn't been quiet for me at all..” Rebecca entered, walked toward me, and wrapped her arms around my neck. "I wish tonight wasn't happen

Grey’s POV "This salmon is absolutely delicious," Madalynnsaid. She sat next to me, her body pushing against mine as she laughed at what another noblewoman was saying as if it was the most amusing thing in the world. Outside, thunder rumbled, and a flash of lightning cast eerie shadows on the walls of the dining hall, causing the candlelight by which we dined to take on a haunting glow. It wasn't just the weather that was making me feel unsettled. Something wasn't right, and I simply couldn't place what it was. Madalynn cleared her throat. "Are you all right?" she asked, her breath warm on my face, making me frown."You've hardly eaten a bite, and we're on the third course." "I'm fine." I couldn't help but think about Avalyn . I still didn't understand why she hadn't told me about the ultrasound. She had better explain herself to me later tonight. For some reason, I felt a longing, deep down, to go to her, to make sure that she was well, that nothing was the matter with her o

Avalyn's POV The rain picked back up as Damian and I ran around the exterior of the capital. It was pouring so hard, I could hardly see where we were going, but I kept my eyes on him and forced my feet to keep moving forward. Faltering at this point wasn't an option. I had to keep moving for my baby's sake and for my own. According to the plan, we would need to get out of Mirage first."This way," Damian said, and I realized he was ushering me through a small door in the ground that reminded me of the cellar we had back home. I wouldn't have even known it was there if he hadn't tugged it open. The door led down a flight of stairs to a narrow tunnel. Damian pulled a flashlight out of his pocket and illuminated the stone surface. At least it wasn't raining down here."Where are we going?" I asked him as we ran along. "The tunnel ends right before the wall," he said. "We'll have to climb over it." "And then what?" I asked, my heart pounding in my ears. "Then…. we'll have to r

Avalyn POV Almost exactly thirty minutes after our short break, I saw the cabin appear up ahead. As we were approaching our first destination, I opened my bag to inspect Damian's clothing.Sure enough, I found a six inch switchblade in his pocket. I took it out and tucked it in the bottom of my bag. I didn't want to have to use it, either, but I sure wasn't giving it to him. We reached the cabin, and I leapt off of Damian's back. It wasn't raining hard here, but we were both drenched from earlier and were exhausted. "Thank goodness we're here," I said. "Are we going in?" I got Damian's clothes out of my bag and dropped them near him. I wasn't sure if he had shifted yet. When I heard his voice, I knew he was getting dressed. "Yes. Let's get changed here," he said."We have a car nearby, and this was just a place to hide the vehicle, a place for us to aim to.” "I see." I walked into the cabin and found a dry towel. I heard his footsteps following. "Let me know when you're dre

Avalyn POV “Miss, did you get your room number yet?” A young crew member pulled me out of my shock.I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart, then put on a smile and turned to him. “Ah, yes, it‘s on the ticket.” No– that couldn‘t have been Alpha Grey. There was no way he was here. Besides, it would be hard for anyone to recognize me with my disguise on, especially from so far away.As the boat drifted further and further from the shore, I no longer was able to pick him out in the crowd.The worry that had surged within me threatened to expose my fear, but I couldn‘t allow it to. I had to get a grip of myself. I turned my attention to the young man in front of me. He was holding a clipboard as he walked around the deck helping the passengers.He gave me a friendly smile. “Follow me, and I will show you to your room. I just need your ticket.” I handed my ticket to him, my eyes scanning my surroundings.Everyone else was busy settling down on the ship, and no one paid attention
Alpha's Slave Mate: Her Redemption 62
Avalyn POV A small jolt woke me from my sleep.When I sat up, I quickly realized the boat was swaying from side to side, leaving the most uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I had known that I would most likely get seasickness, but I had hoped I would be one of the fortunate ones who didn‘t. “Uhh…” | groaned, walking towards the bathroom.Splashing some water on my face, I tried to sweep away the grime of my previous adventures, hoping it would draw the sickness away from me. But even though it disappeared for a moment, as soon as I stepped back out into the room, it was back in full force. I tried with all my might to remember things I had read in one of my many books to help get through this, but no matter what I did, it wouldn‘t ease up.Deciding on getting some fresh air, I tied my hair up into a ponytail and put on casual clothing, including a chunky knit sweater. Before I headed to the deck, I also put on my dark sunglasses to try to hide my appearance more. I knew that I

Avalyn POV Luckily, I didn‘t have much time to think about Alpha Grey in the next few days, as they flew by thanks to Seraphine‘s company. She had been to all sorts of different places and had lots of fun stories to tell. “You should have seen his face, dear.” I leaned in. I was so drawn to her story that I put down my fork. “Don‘t stop eating, Ava. The food will do you well.”. She patted my hand, and when she saw me put food in my mouth again, she continued, “The big bad wolf thought of himself as a monster, but at the sight of his pup being born, he passed out upon the floor.” Our laughter fluttered through the air. Seraphine concluded, “So no matter how tough men seem to be, you never know what to expect when they see their baby for the first time.” Suddenly, the joy of the story dissipated, and I felt a pang in my heart.I couldn‘t help but wonder, what would Alpha Grey‘s reaction have been if he were there to witness the arrival of his own child? “Seraphine” – I tried to
Alpha's Slave Mate: Her Redemption 64
Grey POV I had two hours before I met with Logan later tonight. Walking into the bedroom I sank down on the bed, falling backward and staring up at the ceiling, willing my mind to go blank. During the day, it was easy enough. There was plenty to do, especially with the conflicts heating up along the border. I could focus my rage on the enemy. But now..It had been more than three days. Despite all of my men‘s efforts, we had found no trace of Avalyn's body, not even a scrap of fabric. The river rushed through the rocks there, and the cliffs were jagged and full of crags. There were a thousand places for evidence to hide.The sun was setting and it was getting dark, but I didn‘t bother to turn on the light. All of a sudden, I seemed to hear a sound from the living area.I got up to check it out, but froze as soon as I entered the room.In the dark sat a figure that I thought I would never see again. Someone I could not help but recognize instantly, no matter where, no matter when.
