Avery POV:-
The next day, I woke up and saw my hands holding a muscular body as my face was buried in his chest, filling my nostrils with his deep addictive scent. I lifted my gaze , blinking a few times to clarify my vision of being in the arms of the most undesirable man but it was clear that we slept in each other's warmth.
Blaze was right beside me; no pillow in between. His one hand under my head, pulling me close while his other hand on my waist, with his face so close to mine. His hot minty breath lingered on my face, making my heart pounding as my chest tightened in something mystifying. My dried lips parted as I stared at his slumbering form. Arousal of his touch and closeness was inscrutable. I gulped and managed to free my hand. With a shaky breath, I put it over his chest, my body tensed up and I called him slowly,
"I'll see you guys again soon." I smiled, hugging Mama and Papa close. "Of course. We will come as well." Mama said. "No. You don't have to." I said, pulling away. I don't want them to come and see my room which doesn't even consist of a damn door. "Why?" Mama asked. "Because… the place is surrounded by wolves. I told you guys… remember?" I nervously chuckled. She made an 'o' face and nodded in understanding. "I see… anyways. Come Soon." Mama kissed my forehead as we left after bidding a final Goodbye to my parents. "Why did you stop them from coming?" Blaze asked on our way back. "I don't want them to see the way we live our lives." I sighed, looking out of the window. "We could keep them in deception just like now." He
A sudden tear rolled down my cheek. In the lonely night, he let out his misery, isolated from the world so no one could see the concealed emotions which were shattered and he could swiftly emitted them through his symphony; obliviously. Lit by a single flare of hope to find solace in the embrace of someone he loves; I broke for being his mate. Nothing. But a cruel game of fate for both of us, leaving us at the point of our lives where we are hopeless. I hesitantly put my hand over his shoulder, he closed his eyes and gulped, holding his bursting agony inside him and took a deep breath before slowly turning to me. His eyes slowly opened as tears formed a screen in his eyes but not daring to fall. My heart stopped when I saw an unlimited affliction burning in his eyes which startled me to no extent.
I said, annoyed. She narrowed her eyes at me in repulsion and shook her head, “You are so… unbelievable. How can you change in a heartbeat?” She asked in a barely audible voice. “It was the fate of my heart to find redemption in hate.” “Don’t try to bewilder me. You are nothing but dust… scattered; Impossible to gather and fix.” She said with strong hostility mixed with strange compassion she doesn’t want but anyone would pity me if they try to know me that’s why it would be better if she minds her business and not try to know me and go to her plan of meeting her lover and stay away from me because neither me nor she wants to have any relationship. “I know. That’s why leave me be.” I said nonchalantly. “The more you deluge in it, the more it will burn you.”
Avery POV:- My hands were cold as ice, my heart was bursting from my ribcage in dread. The fear of meeting Jeremy after all this time and Blaze that if he came to know about it, what he would do, sent terrifying shivers to my core. “I hope everything went well.” I breathed out. “I hope Brother won’t kill me after knowing I helped you.” Ashley was even more scared than me. I put my hand over hers and gave it an assuring squeeze. “You are also frightened.” Ashley said deadpanned. “I am afraid of Blaze’s wrath.” I exclaimed my worry. “What if he found out… he won’t kill me but give me something worse than that.” I said, a chill stiff my bones to think about it. “There’s no going back now.” Ashley said and I nodded.&nbs
I took a deep breath and told him what happened that day and everything. I broke into soft sobs when I told him. “I had no choice… I never thought he would get this far… I.. I .. thought he will leave me after we get married.. I never knew he made me sign marriage papers.. I was so scared at that time and didn’t think about anything… I am sorry… I am so sorry.” I wailed, hiding my face in my hands. “Avery…” he called me, rushing to my side. He bent and removed my hand from my face and held them tightly as he kissed them, “I am so sorry. I didn’t know he made you go through all this.” He apologized, holding my hands close, “Please don’t hate me. I am so alone, don’t leave me…” I hugged him, crying. He hugged my back and rubbed it, “I won’t… I am with you… Only if I knew what he made you go through… I am sorry for not being able to stand by your side.” Jeremy whispered, hugging me close. I sniff
And when the call ended, I bursted, “Blaze didn’t know about us, did he? Is he coming here? Was he angry? What did you talk about?” “Calm down, Avery. Everything is fine… isn’t it, Ashley?” Jeremy said, taking me sit and handing me a glass of water. “Here, drink this and calm down…” I took it with my shaky hands and began to drink it. “I didn’t know you were so scared of him…” Jeremy mumbled. “I am terrified of him… I might show it to him but I am.” I breathed out, taking deep breaths to put my vexed self at serene. “Not show it?” He raised an eyebrow. “I don’t feel frightened in his presence.. mostly.” I responded truthfully. “It’s the effect of mate-pull to feel secure in the presence of your mate.” Ashley said, looking away. “It’s just an effect not the actual emotion of your heart.” Jeremy said. I nodded. “I know… I know…”
Blaze POV:- When I saw him holding Avery, my anger burst, not being able to watch some person touching her and moreover making her wince was too much for me to take- especially when the person is none other than her lover. I fucking hate the fact how it evoked such unwanted sensation of wrath and jealousy in me, my mind was at lull completely when I came, burying the bitter actuality where she went with the intent to meet him but thankfully he didn't listen to her and I came on time before she could win his trust but I managed to swallow it up… not anymore. I could sense Avery's fear emitting from her very soul, the deep terror of facing my rage was clear in her and it was hard for her to stay composed and not break but all her efforts were in vain as I could feel it in my every bone: the urge to teach her a lesson but I have to refrain myself.
I have to make a decision. Kill her No, Mate her. Killing her sounds better though. But, taking her life for being my mate is too much. Mating her sounds better. But, what about her unbearable presence? Ugh! Filled with extensive seething and no senses, I went home. My mind blank, nothing flashed in it and left me void as my step moved on their own to my room. I washed my face and looked at my reflection in the mirror. You are a monster. That's right, I am a monster, so let me show you what this cold-hea
