The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 49: No running
AVIONNA’S POVWhat do you do when there's a male wolf in your doorway, ferocious and angry, yellow eyes fixed on you like he's already decided you're his next target?You run.Did I run? Absolutely not.Following the absolutely tragic ruin that dinner had turned out to be, Zolani led me to her room after fearlessly calling the two grey-faced grown men dimwits, an action I found unfathomably courageous.It wasn't the suicidal bravado of an Omega thinking she could outfight a Beta twice her size either, nor the shallow pride with which Aubrey paraded herself through the Crescent Pack as Lucien's mate.Her courage was of a different kind. It was the fierce, secure confidence of a woman who knew she was cherished, and who knew with absolute certainty that these men would never lay a hand on her.And unlike Zolani, I knew without a sliver of doubt that I wasn't safe in their hands.So when she led me to walk out of the room, I followed but I couldn't help looking over my shoulder to the t
The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 48: The weight of grief
FABIAN’S POVZolani's words struck a place deep in my heart that I had refused to look into for years, buried underneath all the work I threw myself into.The old part of the city needed rebuilding. Trade relations with other regional Packs needed to be established. The Pack’s enforcement needed to be reshaped and restructured, giving average wolves with limited dreams opportunities to aim higher. There was still so much more I could do to develop the commercialization of our Pack. There was always something waiting for my attention. So much needed to be done, and too little had been covered. As long as I kept moving, I didn’t have to stop and think about what I had lost. I couldn’t allow myself to sink deeper into grief when there was an entire Pack depending on me. Their livelihood and sustenance depended on the decisions I made.So, I buried it.I pushed everything I felt into a place far out of reach and refused to look back, not allowing myself to think about it, or feel it exc
The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 47: Already gone
FABIAN’S POVI knew Zolani would come even before I heard her footsteps stamping down the hallway.Zolani was the opposite of me. Maybe that was what had drawn Father to her and made him bring the Four year old child covered in dirt with a face darkened by grime, home.I could never forget the look the child with the tear-streaked face had given me when Father instructed that she call me brother.Her pupils had enlarged, shining so brightly they looked like they held all the stars in the sky. With snot running down her nose, and the brightest smile I had ever seen, she had called out to me.“Brother.”And although she was stewing with anger right now, and had nearly gotten into a brawl with Cicero over dinner, and could be so frustrating sometimes, there had never been a day when I stopped loving this sister of mine.Just as the thought surfaced, the door to my study was yanked open and Zolani stormed inside.“You’re unbelievable.”I didn’t look up from the papers on my desk and inste
The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 46: Dimwits
AVIONNA’S POVFabian’s silence was enough of an answer for Zolani whose expression dropped.The realization seemed to settle over her all at once.“Oh my God,” she clasped a hand over her mouth, eyes widening.Her gaze swerved from Fabian to me. I met her eyes briefly then looked away. I didn't need to see the thoughts form in her gaze to know what she was thinking. Earlier, I pondered why she was being so approachable to me and even appreciated the fact that she was being so kind and friendly towards me. Now, after determining that she didn't see me in the same light as everyone else and didn't think I should be punished for a crime I hadn't committed, I was thankful. But that didn't erode the fact that she hadn't known what Fabian's intention in bringing me back was until now.Zolani hadn't known that I wasn't her brother's mate, and that I was merely a woman he brought back to be punished.I didn't realize she was holding me until her grip on my wrist tightened, bringing my focus
The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 45: Defending a bitch
Chapter 45: Defending a bitch AVIONNA'S POV The stare Cicero gave Zolani was blank. It took a long while for him to react, much longer than it had taken me and I couldn't tell which of us was more surprised. Zolani's stance however didn't change. "So?" She repeated. "What if Avionna is Elara Vale's daughter?" Her voice was calm, unusually so but it held a strange firmness that made me lift my head to scrutinize her properly. What did she mean by that? Didn't she hear what Cicero said? He had just told her I was Elara Vale's daughter so why did she have little to no reaction to it. No. She did have a reaction. Except it seemed almost like she didn't care that she'd just been told that I was the daughter of the woman who murdered someone she had spoken of with so much fondness. I guess that was what truly affected me. That Zolani had given a reaction far different from what I expected. The color finally returned to Cicero's face. Slowly, he got off on his feet, radiating r
The Alpha’s Nemesis Chapter 44: The Sin of Another
AVIONNA’S POV I had never felt so uncomfortable in my life. Gathered around a table with four people, two of whom I would rather weren't here, I wondered how this had somehow become my life. Fabian's arrival earlier was unexpected but what was even more unforeseeable was that Zolani would drag me to have dinner with him and his Beta, Cicero, who'd shown up not long after he did with his familiar revulsion. Zolani's insistence had ended up with me at a table, seated next to her while Cicero sat opposite us, glaring daggers at me. Fabian was at the head of the table, not saying anything. The dining room in itself was large and I could remember how big it had seemed the last time I was in here, when I had sat at the far end of the table away from Fabian. Now, I was seated way closer to him and the room seemed so much smaller. If Zolani weren't between us, I would have been right next to Fabian, a thought my wolf found very much appealing. She wholeheartedly approved the cl
