The smell of antiseptic and rubbing alcohol did absolutely nothing to wash away the scent that still clung to the back of my throat.

    AVELORAThe smell of antiseptic and rubbing alcohol did absolutely nothing to wash away the scent that still clung to the back of my throat.We had made it to the academy infirmary. The collision against the tree had done what I had struggled to do, bringing Khyrix back to a state of fragmented consciousness. He had managed to keep it together as we made it to the infirmary.Now, he was lying on an examination bed in the private wing, hooked up to an IV drip that was pumping fluids into his veins.I stood near the door, my hands tucked into the pockets of my sweater to hide the tremors in my fingers. Natalia stood a few feet away, leaning against the wall. Her beauty was marred by a thin cut on her cheekbone from the airbag deployment, and her designer jacket was torn at the shoulder, but that unwavering hatred she glared at me with was still there.I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked at her. She had ignored all the drama going on between us and listened when I screamed. She

  • The Alpha's pretend mate    49.

    AVELORAI stared down at Khyrix’s unmoving body, my hands trembling where they rested against his burning shoulders. My mind scrambled, trying to process the absurdity of the situation.She didn't pick up after the third ring. My hand trembled uncontrollably.Was he poisoned? Or was his wolf doing this to him?I swallowed hard. "Help me!" I screamed into the empty forest, my voice cracking against the howling wind. "Someone help!""Hello." The voice called out through the phone."Hey." I choked out, tears clouding my vision. "Alpha Khyrix... he collapsed." Natalia didn't wait for me to say another word before the call was disconnected.I couldn't leave him in here alone and unconscious. The only choice I had was to drag him all the way back to the academy without anyone noticing.I felt lost, but I knew the first thing I needed to do was get him out of here. I stood up, pulling off the jacket I had on, and laid it flat on the ground. I dragged his massive, heavy frame onto the jacket

    AVELORAThe content of the shelf came tumbling down around me.My heart was beating violently in my chest but for some reason i wasn't scared that he was going to hit me"Don't fucking mention that ever again." I bit my tongue, this was the first time he got this angry. He had always just tolerated me."I'm not going to repeat myself about this." He said backing away totally, years stung at the back of my eyes. "So, this is all just starts and ends by your choice?" "It does," We both didn't say anything as he stepped out of the closet leaving me alone with my thoughts and how alone I felt.......The air was biting, every step I took felt like I was stepping on needles.I had managed to slip away from Khyrix's wrath yesterday, but I still avoided him still, I slept in the library under the disguise of readingI stretched my legs against a fallen log, my calves giving the familiar throb. When I reached into my pocket to check the device Zayn had managed to slip me, I confirmed the pl

    AVELORAKhyrix’s eyes darkened, the gold in his iris shifting into a deep, stormy amber. He didn’t drop his arms from the shelves, keeping me effectively caged within his space. The silence stretched between us."You think a separate room is going to give you stability, Avelora?" he asked, his voice a low, a vibration that rattled something deep in my chest. "You think being away from me changes what we are?""It changes how much you get to control me," I shot back, though my own voice lacked the anger from a moment ago. The exhaustion of the night was finally catching up to me, pulling at my limbs, making my scraped hands from the training room sting more than I cared to admit right now.I looked at the unbuttoned shirt, then up at the stubborn line of his jaw. Why was I angry? That he lied to me? At least he hadn't abused me like my own father did. He tried to protect me the best way he could even if that was triggered by the bond and not some connection we shared.I almost chuc

    AVELORAThey should seriously make a song and name it 'my muscle aches like a bitch' I would happily dance to itMy walk back to the room was like a walk to the guillotine. There was an increasing internal panic. My hand were tingling from all the stupid drill, and my mind wasn't settled. It felt like I was thrown into a pit to figure out a way out with obstacles that were larger than life itself.The room that was supposed to be a sanctuary now had my heart thundering frantically against my ribs cage. I opened the door carefully.He was never around by this time, he was always out attending to one matter after the other, I knew he never got to have a proper childhood, I knew how bad this place messed him up. Still, I hated him so much right now.The room was empty, the dark space was completely silent, the sheets were nearly folded, but his scent still lingered in the room.Letting out a sigh of relief, I limped toward the massive, walk-in closet to grab a fresh set of clothes. Sinc

  • The Alpha's pretend mate    chapter 45

    AVELORAI stopped talking to him, that was the only thing that gave me a shred of control. I couldn't even look at him without seeing how he had lied to me.Part of me felt like I was overreacting.Who would want me as a mate? He did the right thing.But maybe because I had grown to like him, it made it hard for me to just accept it."I am training alone," I had told him flatly back at the dorms, ignoring the low growl that vibrated from his chest. Which is exactly how I ended up back in the academy’s training room at two in the morning, my muscles screaming in protest as I swung a weighted training staff against a sriking post.Crack, crackThe whole room echoed from the constant pummelling I was doing to the poor training bag. My thighs were still tender from Khyrix's brutal dumbbell torture session, and my lower back throbbed with a persistent ache. But every time I wanted to drop the staff and collapse onto the mats, my mind replayed the lie.He wouldn't have lied to me if I was

    AVELORANo, I definitely wasn't hallucinating. Was he mistaken? there was no way I was his mate.Maybe he was drunk.I looked around searching for some sort of sanity but everybody wore the same expression I did. Faces that sent a clear message that I wasn't worthy enough to be a mate to someone li

    AVELORA Our school was built to unite the tribes, not to separate us.Then why are we in ranks? Why am I part of the working population when I’m supposed to be a student like everyone else?I was supposed to be equal, at least, equal in illusion?Our hierarchy was so strict that even the cafeteria

    AVELORAMy cheek burned where his hand had struck me. The sting pulsed, the humiliation was overwhelming as I looked around to see eyes everywhereThe guards, pack members, students are frozen in place, watching this horror movie unfold, they were watching me.I’d known I was no longer invisible th

    AVELORA The door flew open.It wasn’t pulled or pushed by anyone. It burst wide, as if the wind itself had forced its way in, yet the hallway beyond was empty. And still, the room shifted.Something moved through the air, through me. It slid beneath my skin, crept into my bones like a whispered wa
