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…” 

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

"So you are a monster after all…" When Avery’s voice reached my ears, I stopped. This sentence is the last thing I want to hear from anyone. I was left with the inability to speak, feel, comprehend. An intense pain shot in my heart as it broke me from inside mercilessly. My breath stopped as tears brimmed in my eyes. Either drunk or not, intentional or unintentional, I could never force anyone. I shouldn’t have. How depraved have I become? “What happened huh? Do it. I am not stopping you.” She said emotionless. The tears from my eyes fell directly on her cheeks as she narrowed her eyes at me, not understanding what made me cry. “Do it, Blaze.” She whispered, angrily. Without any control, my tears began to fall as I removed my hands from hers hesitantly and moved from the bed, sitting on the ground. She sat up and grabbed my shirt and began to wear it, “Why did you stop at the last moment? My tears, my pleads didn’t affect you so what awoke your dignity?” She jeered. I hugged my kne

 I shut my eyes and screamed when he attacked me but then I heard another voice and looked up to see the same obsidian wolf I saw outside my window, staring at me a lot of times which never fails to elicit eerie sensations in me.  For the first time I saw him this close to me as I could clearly see his enthralling silver eyes similar to Blaze- Wait, what?  He killed the wolf right in front of me as I continued to convulse fiercely, losing my breath and not being able to make his action of saving me. It was nothing but an unexpected rescue.  My body aches in massive pain. I was terrorized to no extent when he turned to me. my breath hitched when my eyes locked with his, my heart stopped along with my whole be

After pacing around he came to me. He bent on his knees, tears were brimming in his eyes as he put his hand over my laps and finally looked at me with his profound gaze of tears, distress, pain and grief.“Let me be completely honest, Avery...” He gulped, his voice was husky but filled with sorrow, with a deep inhale, he continued, “I needed you… badly. Every inch of this body does. The core of my body is fucking burning to mark and mate you but I can’t do it because my heart is not convinced of my urges. My heart cannot love you but it doesn’t want to reject you either. Maybe it’s because of the mate-pull that I hold lust for you but there is no love for you and it hurts me sometimes to do this to you and not being able to liberate you from this dilemma of mine.
