FAZER LOGINJaxonI stopped the car in front of Avaline’s deserted house. Strangely, there were no lights on and no sign of her presence in and around her home. I circled the house, noticing the broken back door. I remembered having broken in the last time to save her life. It was still in the same condition as I had left it. The lawn grass had overgrown into a jungle, and the unkempt porch made a tremor go down my body. It didn’t seem Avaline had returned home in the last eleven days!My mind went into overdrive. Was she still at the hospital?I ran back to my car and sped toward the hospital. I didn’t know what to think anymore. A surge of guilt swept over me. I just prayed she was fine. I could never forgive myself if anything untoward happened to her. The hospital would surely have contacted me if her condition had deteriorated.After parking the car, I rushed to the ER and found the nurse in charge of Avaline. Strangely, she was nowhere around. I walked up to the reception desk and inquired
JaxonI punched Levi in the face, unable to contain the mad fury coursing through my body. “Don’t fu*king involve Avaline in this shit. Do you have proof of her betrayal? Was she present at the scene when Alpha Sebastián announced his plan of leaving in his Land Rover?”He gaped at me, shocked by my violent outburst.“He has a point, bro. We can’t jump to conclusions and blame anyone without proof.” Grayson intervened, separating us. “We can’t fight among ourselves during this time of crisis. Let’s look for evidence instead that will lead us to the actual culprit.” He walked towards the cops, and we followed gingerly.My mind was in a state of confusion. What did Levi mean? When was Avaline banished from the pack? Wasn’t it Lucienne who had been banished from the pack? I blinked out of my dazed state to focus on the investigation. I was sure Levi had it all mixed up. With so many untoward incidents happening all at once, anyone would be confused.“We’ll take the evidence to our forens
JaxonWith the system completely upgraded, I was at last free to leave the pack house. For the last eight days, we had been almost imprisoned in the data center with no contact with the outside world. Alpha Sebastián was the only one who stayed with us whenever he could.“At last, I can go home,” Levi sighed with relief.But I didn’t share his enthusiasm for going home. My father hadn’t put in an appearance at the packhouse for two days, and I couldn’t keep the sense of dread at bay. Something was amiss, and I had no idea what he was up to.I had to check on my mate first. It had been almost eight days since I had seen her. I had no idea how she was. After paying her hospital bills, I entered the data center in a rush. I didn’t know it would take me more than a week.Despite the rumor about Avaline’s betrayal, I didn’t believe Alpha Sebastián. Avaline couldn’t be the traitor. She wasn’t the traitor’s daughter. This had to be a misunderstanding, and I intended to uncover the truth. I w
AvalineI opened my bleary eyes and looked around the hospital room in confusion. How did I end up here? After days of struggling with my condition, my head reeled, and I fell unconscious. It was so sudden; I had no time to drive over to the hospital. I had expected no one to help me. How did someone find me?I looked at the empty room, staring at the machines beeping around me. How long had I been here? Who helped me?A commotion outside the room alerted me. “You can’t go in, please. The patient is still critical,” I heard the nurse’s order.“We have orders from Alpha Sebastián and the Shifter Council to discontinue Ms. Carter’s treatment with immediate effect,” said a male voice, and I froze. It was none other than Delta Whitfield, Jaxon’s father.“Please take it up with our administrative department, Delta Whitfield. Once they approve the demand, I will release the patient. Until then, the patient is under my care.” I trembled, realizing what was going on.Why would Alpha Jason ord
JaxonI stayed at the hospital for two days, refusing to go home. It was a vigil to protect Avaline and my unborn baby. I knew my father too well. The moment I left, he would throw her out of the hospital and pack. I would never let him do that to my mate.Yet my dad refused to give up. He tried everything in his power to stop Avaline’s treatment and throw her out of the pack.When all calls failed, he stormed into the hospital with a legal document bearing the Alpha crest. “It’s Alpha Sebastián’s order. There’s a spy among us who’s giving our pack secrets to the enemy. The pack’s security is at risk. Alpha Sebastián has authorized me to throw out anyone I find suspicious. Avaline Carter is the traitor’s daughter. She’ll be the first one to go.” He turned towards his assistant and barked orders, ignoring my protests.“No, Avaline isn’t a spy. She’s critical and unconscious, Dad. Why don’t you find the actual culprit instead?” I turned towards the confused assistant, holding my phone u
JaxonMy head reeled at the information, and I gripped the desk to prevent a fall.Avaline was pregnant!Damn! Why hadn’t I thought about the consequences of my recklessness before? I had completely forgotten to use protection with her and taken her roughly, not once but repeatedly.I blinked at the nurse. “Are you sure she’s pregnant? Where’s the proof?”She rolled her eyes and printed a report for me to see. “Here, see for yourself. Didn’t you see this coming?” She handed me a report and dismissed me with a scoff. Of course, she knew what I had done to Avaline.I had nothing to say in my defense. The pregnancy report clearly stated Avaline was three weeks pregnant. My mouth hung open, realizing what this meant. The pups were definitely mine. Not that I had doubted her even once. But now I knew what she was going through. Maybe she hated me for forcing her to go through this at such a tender age of eighteen.I staggered away, clutching the report to my heart. What had I done? While I
