It was a rainy night and Flavin had snuck out to see Roland so she could tell him about Avery and Karl and what they’d been up to, everyone was in their quarters and rooms and it was raining cats and dogs outside, just about the right time to sneak out. She tiptoed down the stairs and through the back door, she changed into her wolf form and dived into the rain, running in the direction of the woods. She stopped in front of a cave which served as shelter to her just a few yards past the border, but Roland had already beat her to it. He was in the cave before she even got there, she switched back into her human form and put on the clothes she had brought along on. “You’re late Flavin? Or do you want me to come down there and be getting you myself “ he said from behind her, where he had been waiting in the shadows, causing her to jump slightly. “How long have you been there?” she gasped.“Are you sure that’s the right question you want to know the answer to right now”“Never mind forg

"I don't have that time of day to begin a fight with you Karl, what do you want?" Avery asked him without looking at his face.She was tired and rained and had to turn from one end of the bed to the other just so she could find answers to her questions was enough to exhaust her."Wow, seems you got up on the wrong foot of the bed now did you?" Karl shot back and she gave him a bloodshot sight in her eyes.To her, she thought this might just be a scary face to help this man shush but he wasn't shushing anytime soon he was bent on talking and not saying exactly why he was in her room at this hour of the morning the dark clouds had not even been wide opened yet and also people could thing a lot of things just had to see him leave her room when the bright clouds are finally shown."I've got some news," he said to her and he expected to get a reaction but Avery was funny when either was not in her mood or she was simply just being a grumpy beautiful lady today."What seems to be the news?"

Karl's POVI was nervous as fuck as I walked into the meeting room and everyone arose to greet me, I halted their asses as I told them to get straight to the point."We have news that your mate and betrothed have run away " one of the elders spoke."Well if I were her I would run too, I couldn't be married to someone I have never seen" I replied with bitterness lacing my tone.They all sat quietly for a while before they picked up from where they had stopped.That was more like it.Before coming here I had tried to find Avery because I had the intention of showing her to the council as my chosen mate but I didn't see her."Well as tradition demands we would have to choose a new Bethrot3d for you" another grey-haired man spoke and I looked at him so intensely I was sure he shat his pants from my intense gaze."What if I said I wanted to choose my mate myself?" I asked them all who sat there looking like hungry wolves."That was never the plan Alpha Karl and it has never happened in the

Hurt!!??Naya/ Avery's POVAs I walked down the road of the forest all I could think of was why I couldn't remember a thing about my name.I've known Karl for what we could call a nickel of time but here I was helplessly falling for him like some teenage girl.I took in the sights of wildflowers and this kind of felt nostalgic to me, taking in the sights around me. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and I felt a strange kind of peace in my heart. It had been three months since I met Karl, and yet I can still feel his presence in my life. He was always there to make me feel good and help me with my nightmares. I stopped dead in my tracks as I thought about how I had fallen in love with a man whom I barely knew anything about. My mind swirled with questions. Who was he?"Well, he was an Aloha of the Beowulf pack" I answer myself.Where did he come from? "Beowulf silly," I said once again.What was his story? "Well, he said he was out there making his life less troublin

Roland's POV How could I?Yeah, even I was shocked by how cool I had been when frightening the living daylights out of her. Naya and Averyweres a good womanI felt a swell of pride as I saw Avery's eyes widen in horror when I called her by her real name. I watched her take a few steps back as if I were some sort of boogeyman sent to haunt her. It was an intoxicating feeling, being able to take control at that moment, and I wanted to revel in it. Letting out a triumphant laugh, I grinned wide, thrilled by the look of terror on Avery's face. I felt invincible; there was no way she stood a chance against me. But then, something shifted in the air, and my stomach dropped as I noticed Avery's expression soften, almost imperceptibly. She had realized I'd only been bluffing. Suddenly, everything felt different. My heart began to race; I could feel sweat beading on my forehead as I tried to think of what to do next. I had thought for sure that revealing her true identity would scare
