"Does the alpha's daughter want to play"Avery snarled her fangs at the Lycans that surrounded them, warning them to back off from her. She knew she wouldn't be able to get away from here or get to Nathan.Trapped.Surrounded.Unable to get away."When you're in a situation where you need to run away, observe the area unobtrusively to find an exit" She remembered the words her father had said to her during one of their sessions.And that was exactly what she did, she searched using all her senses. Woods surrounded her, woods in all direction and the Lycans were good at what they did. Five of them watched her though one watched her more keenly and smirked at her, like he knew something she didn't knew. She bared her fangs at that one and all he did was smirk the more on his monstrous face."Avery run" Nathan's voice said on repeat in her head. From the corner of her eyes, she searched for signs of her mate but she was unable to find him. She was unable to find him and the Lycans that
Day 5Avery's point of view"They would love you because I already love you" Ryan had fallen asleep and honestly I had too but it was difficult to stay asleep. I kept on having nightmares on different occasions in my life and waking up all sweaty. It was by a thread that I hadn't punched him in the throat during one of my fits.He wouldn't have judged me too harshly but that wasn't something I wanted to do to someone that had been nothing but kind to me.And honestly I was starting to think I was actually his mate like he said but without my wolf to confirm, it was just a fantasy. I wasn't afraid to admit to myself that I had started to have feelings for him.I would have stayed at that corner watching him sleep for hours without feeling tired. He looked so innocent and young when asleep, his hair falling over his face and the way he snored softly. Even the stubble on his chin was adorable. I noticed the moment he started to wake up even though it was something someone not trained wo
Day 5Avery's point of viewWas the kiss on my mind for the rest part of the day?Yes, it was and it wasn't something I was even ashamed of. I had enjoyed that kiss and wanted something more but Ryan had acted like someone that would prove to be difficult.Alex had played games with me and I had lost in each and every single of them. We had just rounded up the last game where he was declared the winner again."Okay princess, you've been losing and I need to know if it is because of my amazing self or you just suck "I gave him a little smack on his shoulders "You are not amazing at anything, I'm just a little bit distracted" I said to him. While distracting myself by picking up the games on the floor and stacking them together so I wouldn't have to think about what I wanted to think about so badly."You know you can have something with him and forget about all this things you want to do right?" Alex started and I pretended not to hear him "He hadn't treated any girl the way he treats
Day 7Ryan's point of viewToday makes it officially one week since Avery came into my life and damn has it been a heck of a week. And today makes it officially one day of me ghosting her in the same house.That has been the toughest day of my entire laugh. Not talking to my mate, not being in the same room as my mate and overall just giving her one worded replies when she talks to me has been one of torture. And I knew she was tired of my attitude when she finally gave up and went out with Alex.Alex, my fucking roommate that would follow her in a heartbeat to protect her from me.They never told me where they were going to and I didn't ask. Just Alex popping his head into my room minutes before I realized what an idiot I am, just to tell me they were leaving and I was a fucking asshole for wanting to fumble my mate like that. And it was just one day.Perhaps Rose would clear my mind from such things. She always helped me when I was in such dilemma before but who knows what she'll d
Day SevenAvery's point of viewMama Nita's bookshop was quite crowded that afternoon when I visited and after Alex practically left me alone in the middle of the road under the pretense that he left something at the house.Probably that current asshole of a guy Ryan told him to stay away from me.Ryan had been acting the jerk card lately and it hadn't been funny. After all the talk with Alex melting one's defenses down and ready to try and start something with the guy that claimed to be my mate literally and was supposed to help me with my revenge scheme and all of a sudden he started acting the fool.This had got to be the longest week of my life. I hadn't gotten anywhere close to my goal and neither had I call my dad. Plus I was starting to think he didn't want to find me because it had been a week and not a peep from him.I sat at the furthest end of the bookshop, free from all eyes and away from the chattering of those looking for a book to purchase. Since it was a bit chilly, I
Avery's point of viewDay SevenSitting at the far end of the ice cream shop, with our contrasting flavors of ice cream. Mine chocolate and hers vanilla and banana for some reason.Disgusting.We sat at the end of the ice cream shop and to the best of our abilities gave people names, jobs, number of kids,married. "That guy looks so much like the guy described in that movie 'An affair with a monster. Even got the tattoo part right"I said. She looked at him some more and she has this gaze, like she was trying to look into his soul. After a few seconds, she took a bite from her ice cream and said."A bit from what I can remember but the hair colour is a bit different"The hair colour was different. His was dyed blue and the guy from the movie had black hair. "So tell me what you think?""He's definitely giving off young dad vibes even though he's not with any child" She said.And as if on cue, a baby girl ran into the shop shouting daddy daddy and ending up on the guy's leg. Young dad
Avery's point of viewDay SevenThe apartment was quiet when I entered. Quiet and smelled of Jasmine and lavender while a little bit warm. It was the perfect mood for meditation and even though I knew Ryan must have been the one to do it, I was perplexed to see him in the middle of the room with the candles around him dressed in a tux and the a bouquets of roses between his fingers like a peace offering.He looked handsome."Hi" I said. I closed the door with a gentle click and walked tentatively towards him "What's up with all this?" I asked, gesturing around everywhere.He gave me a little smile "I've being a jerk...""Yes you have" I interrupted.He chuckled before he continued "Yeah, guess I deserved that. I've being a jerk that doesn't deserve someone as stubborn and annoying and beautiful and sweet as you" He moved the bouquet to the other hand and moved my hair behind my ears."I am not stubborn or annoying"He raised an eyebrow at me with that beautiful smirk spreading on his
Avery's point of viewHe tasted like red wine, his lips entwined with mine in an unholy harmony, moving like they were destined to be there. His hands were everywhere this time, one was under my shirt leaving heat trails all over while the other cupped my face then moved to my hair and finally rested on the small of my back.Moving closer to him felt automatic because the next second, I was done with being far away and I was on top of him, straddling him."You're so so beautiful Avery" Ryan said against my lips.We separated briefly for air and I used that time to check him out, his lips slightly full from the kissing and parted for air, his cheeks were red. And his eyes, oh the look in his eyes was both feral and hot in a good way. His Iris were darkened and I knew he wanted this break to be over as soon as possible.My hands found the end of my shift and I pulled it over my head. I stayed away from his eyes this time. Why? I didn't know. I felt a bit insecure about my body or was it
