Avery's POV I woke up groaning, cursing being born. I had never experienced the kind of pounding headache I'm experiencing now. I could barely open my eyes and even after opening them, I could barely see. I wasn't done healing yet and that was a surprise. The growing pains in my body distracted me from wondering too much about it. "You're taking longer to heal these days" I shook, hearing my dad's voice beside me. Was he waiting for me to wake up? Coughing, I sat up, realizing I was on my bed. It was rare to see my dad helping me to my bed after giving me a nice beating. "Do you care?" my throat was too dry for words to come out audibly plus the fact that I felt too weak at the moment. "No. I don't care if you die right now" he shrugged "I was just wondering..." "Wondering?" I asked He ignored me, standing and walking away, leaving me dumbfounded yet unbothered about his meaningless gestures. At the moment I was more
Avery's POV I stood by the door, waiting for it to be opened. My chest hurt. I had so many questions I needed to ask. I had my eyes fixed on the floor, counting the second as they passed by. My head shot up as soon as the door was opened. Mr. Arthur stood in front of me with a confused look on his face. "I need to talk to you" I said bluntly. I can't guess what my face said but it probably wasn't welcoming. Mr. Arthur remained calm however. He walked back inside and I followed. We sat on the couch in the sitting room. "I talked to my mom..." I started talked, heading straight to the point while noticing his change of expression "And she told me everything... I have a few questions for you... And some things you should know" "I know what you want to ask... Why did I hand over my rights to George... Are you and Dylan siblings... Why is Dylan older than you... Does he know about this" he listed my questions like he read my mind. I no
Dylan's POV My stomach spun, seeing her reaction. At the moment, she was sitting by the edge of the bed with me squatting infront of her, now holding her two legs. She wasn't looking at me in the eye, she was blushing but wasn't smiling and her grip on my hand got loose. I needed her to say something. The silence was killing me but I had no regrets of telling her. Keeping those feelings to myself felt worse. She tucked her lips in, making small movements I couldn't understand. "Avery" I called her name, rushing her to give a response. "I... Uhh... III..." she couldn't say proper words but I got the message. She was going to reject me. It didn't come as a shock to me though. I always felt that Avery returning my feelings would be nothing but a fantasy I forced a smile to lighten the mood, "Calm down... You don't have to say words to reject me" I chuckled a bit, seeing how much she was shaking. Why so nervous "I saw it coming anyways... I do
Dylan's POV I remained on my bed, couldn't stop smiling. She had to go since my dad was back. "What do you think about Avery?" I asked my wolf "She's awesome" "Do you think she's my mate?" "I hope... She'll make a great Luna" "She'll make a great life partner" "What do you think would happen on her sixteenth birthday?" I ignored the question then got up and stretched It's still early... I should take Avery out "Steal a kiss or two while you at it" "Will do" I smirked then bounced outta my room Followed her scent and it led me to the kitchen She was checking the fridge "Hungry?" I asked She shook a little then turned "Very" she had this weird look in her face. I always found it funny, the stupid faces she makes when she's hungry. She closed the fridge then brought out some tomatoes "Planning on cooking?" I rose an eyebrow "No... of cours
Dylan's POV I froze when they said that word 'mate' and starred at each other. I gritted my teeth feeling my temperature rise and my head pound. "You see" Tessa mouthed to me "No" my wolf growled Liam took a step closer to Avery "No" I growled out loud, feeling my wolf take over. I couldn't stand the sight of someone other than me, trying to get close to her. Liam turned to me, with a frown printed on his face I knew his wolf took over so I let mine take over completely I shifted He did too We both ignored Avery's gasp. Liam and I circled round each other, concentrating on our speed and defense Incase of any attack Our growls echoed through the hall Everyone was silent I was about to attack but someone spoke up "You have a mate man. Why look stupid fighting over someone else's" Others spoke up too "You guys are destined for each other. You're destined for Tessa. You can't just steal someone else's mate. It's
Avery's POV I left my eyes fixed on the ground, frozen and pained, hoping the earth would just eat me up or end me because I honestly didn't know what was next for me. "He really called it lust?", the question escaped my lips as a whisper. I couldn't believe. I didn't want to. It hurt too much to bare. But this is what I wanted, isn't it? I'm happy if he is... Right? I felt a lot of things... Happy, angry, heartbroken, confused and scared Happy, cause my best friend isn't heart broken. I mean, he's happy without me. I'm happy for him. I should be. Angry, because he had me fooled. It's not his fault he misunderstood his feelings it's mine. Why did I listen? So pathetic. I destroyed everything even after getting warned. I'm disgusted. Heartbroken, cause I'm still so in love with him. There's no way I can drop the feeling just like that. I actually do love him and it's not just lust. The more breath I take, the deeper I fall. I hate it! Someone else's man for goodnes
Avery's POV "Avery, were gonna be late!" Liam groaned "Calm down. Geez. I need this bath!" I yelled from the bathroom, enjoying the warm water kiss my skin. "Ughhhhh!" he groaned. So impatient. Is this how I am to Dylan. I rolled my eyes then started singing the Powerpuff girls theme song "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" He yelled I frowned "Calm down. Geez. Why don't you come in and pull me out" I hissed "Say it again and I will" he dared me I shut up then started singing miraculous ladybug's theme song seconds later He gave up I smiled when he said nothing again then continued my bath When I was done, I did everything I had to, before leaving the bathroom. Luckily for me. Liam let me wear one of Veronica's old clothes. It took me hours to convince him As soon as I opened the door he glared at me "What?" I rose an eyebrow "Next time you waste that much time in the bathroom. I'll pull you out
Dylan's POV "YOU DID WHAT!" My dad yelled "I-" I hadn't even started talking "WHAT THE HELL!" he kept freaking out "Relax" I said then got up to get some juice "What made Avery say that?" my dad heard from someone what happened at school between Liam, Tessa, Avery and I. He heard about what she said to me and knows I'm at fault without even getting the story's details " Well... I told Liam to put Avery on a leash" I said then got to the kitchen Put your mate on a leash I ignored the guilt that built up in me "ARE YOU DUMB?!" I sighed then got the juice out from the fridge. I never something to drink. "Okay... okay. Why did you say that"he tried calming down "She attacked Tessa" I said while pouring in the juice "Tessa? Tessa? Who cares about Tessa?" My dad says there's something wrong with her and I agree. "Dad..." I trailed "I know Avery wo
