Avery POVThe carriage I occupied was pulled up a hill by the horses in the carriage. Slight tremors courses through my body with each jerk of the carriage as we made our way towards the blood moon pack which Dean led.“How're you feeling today”? He asked with a smile.“Quite ok my love”. I replied with a smile. “The ride is a little bumpy though”. I added.“Ah, sorry about that”. He responded with an embarrassed smile. “It's not exactly in my power to make the roads smoother though, they're not in my domain after all”.“I know”. I said with a smile. “It'll be better if the road to your domain wasn't bumpy though”. “I could tell them to slow down”. He suggested.“No, that will only make us go slower”. I replied. “It's better they go faster so I get off this carriage”.“I think the pace at which we're traveling is fine”. Dean replied.“Okay then”. I shrugged as I turned to stare at the trees we were moving past through the window.As we continued on our way, silence prevailed in the c

…..some hours earlierAvery relaxed into the water as she watched Anna, Solution and Cabrera leave. Cupping water in her hands, she washed her face with it before standing up.“Is what Anna telling me true”? She asked herself as she walked out of the bathroom, her body dripping wet. “Dean will not treat me like that would he”? Shaking her head in an attempt to clear it off her thoughts, she picked up a towel to dry her body before applying the necessary cosmetics on her body before putting on her clothes.“I better take a walk to clear my head”. She said as she left the mansion to stroll through the gardens but despite everything, she couldn't get it out of her head.“Oh fuck it! I'm going to ask Dean”. She said before turning around and walking into the mansion. Navigating her way through the hallways in the mansion, she managed to locate the throne room in which Dean was in a meeting with some top members of his pack.“Hope I am not interrupting anything”? She asked as she stepped

They arrived at a waterfall. With the moon already out and painting a beautiful scene with its soft glow.“It's beautiful”. Avery said in admiration.“If you think this is beautiful, wait until you see the inside”. Dean said with a smirk.“What do you mean by inside”? Avery asked in confusion.“Just follow me”. He said with a smile.Avery obliged with Cabrera and Solution behind her.“You two stay here”. He said coldly, turning to glare at them.“Why”? Avery asked in confusion.“The location I'm going to is meant for your eyes only and since this dinner was for the two of us, having two extra people wouldn't be too nice. Don't you think”? He replied.“I guess you're right”. Avery replied before turning to Solution and Cabrera. “You two wait here okay”? She said.“We will do just that, your majesty. They replied in unison before stepping back.“Okay then, let's go”. Avery said to Dean who nodded his head.Dean led her down a path which went behind the waterfall. Stepping into a cave be

Isabella woke up today feeling really angry. For some reason, her dad wanted her and her mum to go collect the bride price.“I hate Avery so much”! She said in anger as she walked down the stairs for breakfast.“Why is your face that way”? Her father asked as she sat down on the dining chair.“Father, you know why”. She said with a frown.“I am sorry, I am getting old so I don't know why you're annoyed.” Isabella's father, Harold said.“Father,” Isabella began. “Why do we have to be the ones going to collect the bride price?" she asked. “We have servants that are probably lazing around doing nothing that would've done this job instead of us”. She said.“That is true Isabella”, Harold said with a nod of his head. “But think about it, alliances between packs is very rare and it's not an uncommon occurrence for a particular pack to be eliminated while another pack that's related to it by marriage or some sort of agreement watches on.”“What does that have to do with this”? Isabella asked

Silence descended upon the bar as Dean walked into it, his footsteps echoing around.“I asked a question, what is going on here”? He asked.Isabella hearing that spoke up hurriedly. “It's my sister, she rejected the glass of wine I got for her and she called me evil”. She replied.“Is that true Avery”? Dean asked with a frown, turning to stare at her.“That is not true your highness,” she replied with a shake of her head. “She…”“Why do we need to hear what she has to say”? Isabella asked, interrupting Avery as she tried to speak.“Do not interrupt anyone when they are talking”! Dean bellowed, causing Isabella to shrink her head in fear. “Go ahead my dear”. He Said.“Thank you my love”. Avery replied with a smile before narrating everything that had happened in the bar up untill that very moment.“So you're telling me that she is forcing you to drink that wine I'm seeing in that glass”? He asked, walking to the cup and picking it up before swirling the contents.“Yes your majesty”. Av
