Semua Bab FATED REJECTION: BOUNDED BY LOVE, DIVIDED BY FATE: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Avery's POV“Hi, thanks for coming,” I acknowledged, smiling at Flair. He looked really handsome, his black tuxedo portrays dominance around him.“You're welcome. You look beautiful by the way,” he complimented. He is the beta’s son, Jameson’s best friend. Who is the Alpha's son.They are totally opposite when it comes to personality. Flair is a nice and an easy going person, unlike his best friend. Who is bent on annoying me. If there is one person I hated to my bones, that would be Jameson Alexandro. He is not only rude, but also a bully and a pervert.It all began when my Dad enrolled me into the college to discover my abilities as a wolf, about three years ago. I was just fifteen then. He has always been on my neck after I fiercely had a fight with him. He wanted all students to kneel and bow at his feet because he was the Alpha's son. Really? Definitely not me.Tonight was my birthday party, still can't believe that I'm freaking eighteen!“So, were are you able to get my phone

Avery's POV I bit my lips anxiously as I walked to my desk. Amelia pulled me back and I turned to her.“You don't have to meet their gazes. Just avoid them, I will be watching from my seat,” she assured and I smiled. Everyone has been gossiping about what happened at my birthday party.Low-key, I was kinda regretting my decision. I settled on my seat and brought out my books. Shutting all my guts that was telling me to steal a glance at him. His scent was getting into my head, as if it was making me high.Well, I was prepared for that.I brought out a nose mask and put it on now. People were looking at me suspiciously. I could only face-palm inwardly.How can you be staring at someone and make it so obvious? I shook my head and sighed. The teacher walked in after a while and the class began.To be honest, my mind was far away from what he was teaching us. It has been two weeks since Jameson was last seen in school, because of Anna, my wolf, Jameson kept replaying in my head.I could

Avery's POVNIGHT FELL.“Do you want some water?” I turned weakly at Jameson. I was seated in front of the fire he had created, wrapped with my blanket to keep me warm.I nodded weakly but without collecting the water bottle from him.“I don't want to remove my hands. Can you please feed it to me?” I pleaded, not wanting to remove my hands that were under the blanket.He sighed soundly before crouching, he held my jaw with his index finger and I drank from the bottle.This little contact sparked some emotions within me and I knew it was the same for him. After I was done, he didn't say anything and also sat beside me.“Thanks,”“It's nothing,” he responded without looking at me. I bit my lips nervously for what I was about to say.Clearing my throat, I did that to get his attention.“A-About earlier, I'm sure that I wasn't hallucinating and….”“Why didn't I see her then?” He cut me off, turning to face me. This made me swallowed the rest of my words. The bond was making it hard for me

Avery’s POVThe morning showed through the thick cover of the canopy, like the sun itself feared to shine into this area of the woods. I held tightly onto the map, brittle edges flaking off with every contact. Jameson strode a few steps ahead, his gaze roving over the ground with calculated precision.“This map is useless unless we know where we are,” I muttered, piercing the tense silence between us.Jameson didn’t look back, but his shoulders went stiff. “Then why are you clinging to it so much?”His tone was terse, and his patience was clearly fraying. I seethed behind the back of his head, fighting the impulse to retaliate. He always did that — shut people out, deflect, pretend he had it all under control. But the reality was apparent in his rigid posture and the keen edge in his voice. He was just as lost as I was.With every step the woods around us thickened. The trees towered like giants with darkened, scarred bark. Fog started to creep along the floor of the woods, wrapping a

Avery’s POVAs the group walked along through the thick forest, the air felt strange. I looked straight ahead, pretending not to notice the frequent sidelong glances Jameson was throwing in my direction. My hands formed into fists at my sides. The last thing I needed was him coming and trying to establish some sort of dominance here.The others around us were whispering among themselves. It wasn’t difficult to feel the rising discomfort because the shadows felt like they were growing longer by the minute. Every rustle of leaves, every whisper of the wind, felt like hidden warning signs in this unnatural-feeling living forest.Amelia fell in step beside me, her face white and drawn. “Avery,” she said, leaning even closer, “I don’t like this. There’s something…off about this place.”I nodded, speaking below my regular level. “Stay close to me. Trust no one, least of all those who appear too self-assured.”In front of us, some of the more aggressive students, led by Sheila, barked orders
