MasukAverineI stared at my reflection in the mirror.The girl dressed in an off white, lacy wedding gown with pearl studded on the veil looked different. She was beautiful but there was no happiness or excitement in her eyes.It was me.I was about to walk down the aisle to marry my fated mate but the marriage wasn’t happening out of love or mate bond.He didn’t even know that I was his fated mate. I didn’t know why he was marrying me. Was it only because he marked me or there was something else. But I was sure about thing.I and Kira would give our best to win his heart and make him love us and recognize our mate bond.“Why are you getting all excited? Do you really think that this pack will accept you as their Luna?” A tall woman walked into the room, her eyes full of disapproval.Well, she wasn’t the first one who passed such hateful remark at me. Almost everyone had same perception about me. They blamed me for Veronica’s miseries. They had always pictured her as their luna and in hone
Averine The pack treated me well if I had to put it in words. They didn’t treat me like a prisoner, that’s what I meant but it didn’t mean that I was happy there.Life felt more suffocated to me, locked in a room, listening to the whispers outside. For them, I was a subject of curiosity, a runt whom their alpha wanted to marry.The only thought of marrying my fated mate thrilled me but at the same time, I felt shivers in my body because for him, I was just a prize, his claimed territory that he didn’t want to lose.It broke my heart but Kira consoled me saying slowly he’d feel the mate bond because our Goddess had chosen us as his mate.Suddenly, the door opened and I sat up straight. I expected it to be the maid but I was surprised to find Logan at the doorstep with the same frown.“Make yourself presentable, we’re going to the elders’ meeting. You’ll be questioned by them to test your honesty and your conduct.” He said to me in an ordering tone.My stomach twisted. An interrogation
Winston“Winston, who is this girl?”My mother’s questioning gaze met mine.“She’s just an ordinary girl, Mother. You don’t need to get alarmed. She is harmless.” I said in a baritone.She walked up to me, her sharp eyes trying to find edge in my words.“She’s just an ordinary girl. I heard from Logan that you killed fifteen alphas in the werewolf territory for this girl. Why is your answer contradicting with your actions, Winston?” She chuckled.“She’s a leverage that I can use over her father, Alpha Gavin Cullen, the bastard must pay for his sins.” I said with anger pulsating through my veins.Her face turned dark on the mention of Alpha Gavin Cullen.“You brought his blood on our land? How could you be so senseless, Winston?” She growled at me. Her body trembling with rage.“Mother, Averine is half-human, an illegitimate child he had with a human so she isn’t a threat but we’re a death nestle for her.” I tried to reason with my mother.“Don’t forget that he was the main conspirator
Averine Coiled in the corner of the car, almost pasted to the window, I kept staring out of the window, staring blankly at the passing clusters of trees, hills and also towns. I didn’t know how many hours had passed as the car drove through the spiral mountain roads until I saw foreign land.To say, I had never seen such scenic beauty. It was an area of dense forest yet lush green fields could be seen as far as I could see, river streaming down the hills. It captured my heart but I wasn’t exactly feeling like celebrating.The man sitting on the passenger seat held an aura which both terrified and overwhelmed me at the same time. I didn’t dare to glance at him but I could feel his gaze on me, his powerful wolf tried to connect with us but I knew, he was supressing his wolf.Perhaps, he saw me as a possession he won from Alpha Hayden.“Alpha, we’re here.”I heard the other man, his Beta speaking and I realized that we had stopped in front of a huge house, probably his packhouse. It was
Averine The mate bond between me and the mysterious man again surfaced. Kira was over the moon after seeing the man who was our mate but his face didn’t give any expression that he recognized me.But I was still hopeful.After all he had rescued me.“Winston Shadwell!” Alpha Heyden growled but his anger was silenced by an ear-deafening silence.“She is mine and I am taking her home with me.” The man whose name I finally discovered said.His voice held authority, fear and an undeniable sense of dominance.He was claiming me.“You know that you have breached the pact by invading my pack and killed many powerful alphas here. You won’t walk out from here alive.” Saying this, Heyden launched towards the man and in a blink of moment, he had shifted in his massive wolf.I hid in a corner ready for another violent bloodbath between two alphas.“Really, Heyden? You want to challenge me for a duel?” Winston mocked him with a sinister laughter and what I saw next, it almost made me shriek.His
AverineDark, cold basement has always been my home.No matter where I’d go, my solitude and pain were my companions in my lonely, tragic life.Alpha Hayden brought me to his pack forcefully. I begged my father to kill me because death was a better punishment than being a s*x slave to the cruel alpha whose wolves had beaten me.I was waiting for my ultimate fate.To serve Alpha Hayden’s lust.They had infused me with wolfsbane to make Kira weak and without her, it was more than a nightmare for me.The doors burst open and I heard footsteps entering.“I don’t know what our alpha had seen in a wolf like her. She is half human and barely has flesh on her body. I am sure she won’t survive the night. Our alpha is a beast in the bed.”I heard those people mocking me but their latter words scared me more.“Hey, get up!” They grabbed my arms and forcefully made me sit.Their nails dug in my skin.“Are you ready to please our alpha tonight, petty human?” The female guard smirked at me.They un
