AVELINE'S POV

Those moments of my life felt like problems piling upon problems as I struggled to navigate them all.

Surprisingly enough, Mortius was the only member of the council who supported Sirus.

It didn't take long for me to understand why.

Mortius wanted something for himself.

Ever since that night seven years ago, after everything he'd said to Sirus, I had kept a close eye on the councilman. I knew he couldn't possibly be up to any good, especially considering how much Sirus seemed to t

    AVELINE'S POVThose moments of my life felt like problems piling upon problems as I struggled to navigate them all.Surprisingly enough, Mortius was the only member of the council who supported Sirus.It didn't take long for me to understand why.Mortius wanted something for himself.Ever since that night seven years ago, after everything he'd said to Sirus, I had kept a close eye on the councilman. I knew he couldn't possibly be up to any good, especially considering how much Sirus seemed to trust him.Far too much, in my opinion.I even suspected that Mortius knew, to some extent, if not entirely, about the issues plaguing Sirus and how they had come about.But I couldn't be sure. Despite my utter distaste for the man, I had to admit that the young councilman was cunning.He had a way of making everything he said, every opinion he expressed, and every action he took seem as though it was in the best interest of whoever he was trying to manipulate at the time.And at the moment, he h

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Damning

    AVELINE'S POVFIVE YEARS LATERSirus and I had been mates for five years.Though they had never outright said it, the council clearly didn't think he was fit to lead the Eastern Pack.And honestly, neither did I.But for some reason, I still wasn't ready to give up on him, despite the fact that it had been five long years of the same old cycle.Me trying to help, only to manage the bare minimum.Despite my growing knowledge of Manipulation and the extent to which it had helped Sirus, it wasn't producing the results either of us had expected.After that evening in the pack house, when Sirus had finally told me everything he'd been going through since the bite, we had come up with an arrangement that would benefit both of us, as well as Tiny and Damon.It seemed that, after telling me everything, Sirus was done pretending he didn't know his daughter was in my possession.He wanted us to become mates.I'd been stunned into silence when he suggested it because I couldn't even begin to fat

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Sirus

    AVELINE'S POV Sirus had been bitten.Multiple times.I had no idea. But from what he told me, my sister had known about it at some point.I was surprised that I had absolutely no idea about this, but honestly, I couldn't even fault Jenna for not telling me. At the time, I was juggling life after giving birth to a child eight months earlier than was normal. Add that to the fact that it wasn't really my business, and it became easier to understand how I had remained unaware.It had happened when he'd gone back into the Wilds with the, in my opinion, very crazily stupid idea of ending the creatures of the Northern Wilds before they came for us.He'd been able to hide the bites for a while, but soon, the symptoms became too difficult to bear alone, and he could no longer hide them from Jenna.Unfortunately, the healers, whom he'd ordered not to let a word of his predicament slip, couldn't help him. His bites were unlike Jenna's, which the healers had been able to treat to some extent, at

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Manipulation

    AVELINE'S POVI discovered the art of Manipulation toward the end of the first year I spent with the Gammas.I stumbled into it by accident. Well, more like crashed into it.As I'd suspected, Serena and Stephen had been completely on board with helping me research ways to make Tiny's wolf emerge, as well as find a means to combat or, if possible, manage the present and future effects of Damon's hybrid nature.But there was only so much they could do.While they were more knowledgeable and skilled in scientific methods, having conducted numerous experiments and examinations throughout their careers, I was better at uncovering hidden truths, facts, and mysteries buried beneath historical records and contemporary accounts.My curiosity, as Jenna used to say, was unbounded.Every so often, I'd catch little glimpses of my sister in practically anything, and those memories would send my thoughts drifting toward her. Sometimes, I'd recall the short life she'd lived, the things she'd hoped to

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    A quiet kind of guilt

    AVELINE'S POVEverything changed when Uncle Zickiel began insisting that I return to the Winter Pack.At first, I didn't think he was serious. It had all begun with careful, harmless suggestions about coming back. About visiting the Winter Pack more often and staying longer. During my calls and visits, Aunt Daria made a point of showing me everything old and new that she thought might interest me, as though she were trying to convince me to stay without outright saying so.The Winter Pack and the Eastern Pack had been on good terms for a very long time, and despite Jenna's death on Eastern Pack grounds, that didn't seem to be changing.I was almost considered a member of the Eastern Pack by the people around me. Or at least, that was what I liked to think.The only thing standing between me and formal membership was the legal process, which I knew wouldn't be difficult to complete. Not when Sirus seemed so consumed by guilt that he would probably grant me anything I asked for.I'd not

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Tainted bloodline

    AVELINE'S POV Tiny and I left the pack house the following night. I had wasted no time. It seemed the Moon was also on our side because I hadn't expected escaping the pack house with the Alpha's child to be as reasonably easy as it turned out to be. But then again, considering the way Sirus had been behaving for the last two months, and with the conversation between Sirus and Mortius still fresh in my mind, perhaps it shouldn't have been so surprising that the security of the Alpha's newborn wasn't exactly a top priority. Sirus didn't suspect anything. Neither did any of the pack house staff. After leaving the study the night before, I had spent a great deal of time awake, unable to sleep as I plotted and replotted my plans to get Tiny out of the pack house as soon as possible without drawing suspicion to myself. Just thinking about the events that had led me to such a panicked sprint to get Tiny out of there, just thinking about how the conversation between Mortius and Sirus h

    I startle at the sound of leaves crunching under boots. “Who’s there?” “Mia? Is that you?” I turn to find Cole picking his way toward me. “Cole,” I breathe. “How did you—” “I had a feeling they were going to come for you after what you did.” He finally reaches where I’m leaning against a t

    My screams does not deter him. Oh no. “Don’t—” I start. He lunges again. Below me, the group spreads out in a perfect semicircle. Waiting. “Catch her,” I recall Damon’s words. He plans to force me out if this tree, I realize. Panic claws at my lungs as I adjust myself on the branches so I c

    Rule number one for anyone living in a werewolf pack—especially if that person is human: Never humiliate the future Alpha. Rule number two? If you do, don’t get caught. I broke rule number one three hours ago. And right now, I just broke rule number two. “You can run, but you can't hide, h

    After saying goodbye to Bailey, I head towards rehearsals, feet practically bouncing in anticipation. I weave between stalls, the hum of pre-festival chatter around me, but stop short when I see him — leaning against the edge of the square, half-shifted, green eyes glinting under the lanterns.
