~Avery~
We began giggling as we ran when we successfully got out of school, we slowed down to catch our breath when we were out of sight, I could not stop looking around to make sure that nobody was around us, she seemed unphased like she was not experiencing any bit of fear at all.
‘’It was fun escaping school.’’ I asserted.
‘’I know, right? It was so easy, get ready for the sweetest part of this adventure, want to race?’’ She inquired.
My eyes widened and I started fidgeting when I realized that she was referring to us shifting into our wolf form, I had not been able to summon courage to tell her that I was unable to shift.
‘’I think that is a bad idea.’’ I pointed out, trying as much as possible for my voice not to sound shaky.
She scrunched her brows in confusion and inquired, ‘’Why?’’

I stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring at my reflection as I smoothed down my dress. It was a deep shade of emerald green, with intricate beading that caught the light in a mesmerizing way. Despite the grandeur of the event that was about to take place, I felt a sense of dread settle in the pit of my stomach. I didn't want this - the mate, the ceremony, any of it.I couldn't help but feel trapped and suffocated. I knew I should be excited for the future of our pack, but the thought of being forever bound to someone I despised made me want to run away.Lost in thought, I didn't notice that he had entered the room. His coronation suit was a sight to behold. It was a black tuxedo that hugged his muscular frame in all the right places. His messy brown hair added to his charm, giving him a bad boy edge that was impossible to resist. As he drew closer, I caught a whiff of his cologne, the scent more alluring than ever before. It was a mix of musk and sandalwood that made my he
~Avery~It was finally the day for us to move into the pack house and if I told anybody that I was happy about it then, I was obviously lying, he had no reason to expose our mate bond but he did it out of spite, now, I was stuck with him.I just had to take my training seriously, so that nobody would be able to bully me anymore, I was honestly sick of it.I was quite aware that his parents were going to host a party for his pack opening and I hated to be a participant in it but I had no choice.''Hey, Luna Avery!'' Ashley called out my name in an excited tone.Before I could reply her, Alex beat me to it, ''Don't call her that, she is not mine yet.''I rolled my eyes, the moment that I heard his voice and chose to give him a comeback, ''Who said that I wanted to be yours?''He stared at me lustfully and responded with a wink, ''Come on, babe. I know how long, you have been dying for you to be mine, that's why I did you a favor.''I scoffed in response, ''A favor? More like you ruined
~Alexander~Call me crazy for putting up that condition but it was going to work in my favor, everybody would finally see that she was not good enough, the only thing that she was beauty and it was not enough for me, even with all the training, she would still be weak, it was as if she did not even have Alpha blood in her, she was just somebody that I could not understand.I prepared myself to face my parents because I knew that they would throw a lot of questions at me for hiding the truth especially my father, another month with her was either going to mare or make me in the sense that I would fall hard for her or my six senses would still be working enough for me to be the Alpha King.I could hear my father question my mother on my way to his office, ‘’You mean to tell me that he kept such a huge information from us?’’He was going to be very pissed considering the fact that I had valued Alison more than Avery, I still did not regret it though.‘’Here
~Avery~Just when I thought that he would call it off and show everybody how evil he has been to me, he decided to put a condition on our relationship.I wondered what kind of mate he was, a horrible person whose pack members were going to suffer because he was the Alpha.His mother asked him with her brows scrunched, ‘’What do you mean, no?’’‘’She cannot be my Luna because she is weak.’’ He announced, that only made murmurs to erupt.I could hear all their harsh comments against me.I wanted to humiliate him by rejecting him but I guess, once again, he had beaten me to the draw.My father was quick to jump into my rescue even though, it was a fake act, ‘’Her weakness is just temporary, that is not enough reason for you to reject her.’’‘’Coming from the person who has always wanted to kill or disown his daughter because of the same reason.’’ My wolf asserted with a scoff.‘’Yes, Alex. Remember my love story, your father learnt the hard way and he would not even
~Avery~The moment that he said those words, I heard gasps from the crowd, my heart was racing so fast because I never wanted this to happen, I could not even depict what exactly was wrong with me, at this beginning of all these, I have been dying for this day to come when he claim as his own but now, I wished that I could reverse time and erase myself from his memory.I did not want to be with him and he did not as well, he just wanted to make me suffer for no reason.I stared at my father and the others, the look of shock was vivid on their faces, I would just have to save myself from this situation before it was too late.‘’What?! That is not true, why would you make a false claim like that? We are not mates.’’ I lied.I noticed that the light in his eyes dropped when I said that but I did not care, the earlier that he realized, he had hurt me badly and I wanted nothing to do with him, the better for his dark heart.‘’Don’t try to lie, Avery. You have always wanted this
~Kyra~I tried to avoid my mother’s eyes as I sat down quietly, my parents and the lawyer had been waiting for my arrival and I was quite reluctant to see them, in as much as I loved cooking, I had been avoiding the restaurant, it held too much memories there which would only make the grieving process hard for me.As if that was enough, I heard that Alexa and I would be going to see the Alpha in order for them to discuss her moving plans, it would be hard for me, seeing my mate with another girl.‘’Good morning, mum and dad.’’ I greeted.‘’Good morning, sir.’’ I added to the lawyer with a weak smile.‘’Morning.’’ They replied, simultaneously except my mother who shot me a deadly glare.‘’What took you so long? Do you know how long we have been waiting? The barrister has other things to do with his time and you chose to waste time, why can’t you do something good for once?!’’ She fired at me.I heard my father sigh, almost immediately, ‘’Cassandra, let her be. She has been working obvi
