All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S CRYSTAL MATE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

THIRD PERSON P.O.VAll it took was him hearing Avery's scream to know that something was wrong and she might be in trouble. With a quick command to one of his men to protect Jessica, he took off. He ran as fast as he could, his heart was beating furiously with terror as his wolf urged him to run faster."I'm going as fast as I can" he bit out in anger, the forest trees passed him in a blur. Soon, he could smell her, his heart slammed into his chest thinking he was too late."Avery!" He roared her name with everything he had but he doubted she could hear him. He stopped for a second to get his bearings. Down there, his wolf urged, she was down at the edge of the forest."Goddess help me" he whispered as he ran, led on by the thick scent of her fear.The roar of the animal almost stopped him short, from where he was, he could see the huge bear already upright, ready to strike. She lay flat on the ground, her eyes dazed and filled with fear. Immense anger coursed through him, not his mat

AVERY'S P.O.VLightning cracked over us and rain drops began to plop down to the earth from the sky, this brought us out of our staring stupor and we both rushed inside the cave, making sure to not scrape our heads. The cave was surprisingly spacious and wide enough for both Alpha Lucien and I to stand straight, the ground was already covered in multiple leaves and branches. I'm guessing this might have been the cave of a huge animal like a bear. I blinked at the thought that we could be in the cave of the bear that tried to kill me, the thought of another bear in here gave me goosebumps and I shuddered."Are you cold?" Alpha Lucien spoke starting me out of my thoughts, I rushed to refuse but he was already pulling off his jacket."No, I'm not cold....oh....um thank you" I muttered as he placed his jacket around my shoulders. His jacket was huge and warm, I discreetly sniffed and sighed from the dreamy, musky scent wafting into my nose. Wait! My eyes snapped open, we still have somethi

AVERY'S P.O.V"I said what are you doing with Luci's jacket?" I lowered my head again, not because I felt guilty or embarrassed but because I was really not in the mood to tolerate her and rolling my eyes were inevitable so lowered my head to roll my eyes in attitude. I raised my head back up again, Alpha Lucien was standing beside her watching me, his eyes were shining, whether in amusement or anger, I had no idea. I scoffed at him internally, he was the one who had handed the jacket to me so why was I the one being questioned."Avery, just give him back the jacket" Damien told me gently. With a sigh, I pulled off the jacket and handed it to Alpha Lucien who took it back silently, I mourned the loss of the warm jacket and its alluring scent but I kept it to myself."I was going to. Alpha Lucien gave that to me yesterday because I felt cold" I stared into her eyes on purpose, if I wanted to, I could have said that he had given me the jacket because he thought I had been cold but that

AVERY'S P.O.VI was standing in a field, no, I think its a forest. The place was filled with trees both huge and small, grasses, dried twigs and fallen branches littered the ground. I looked around trying to see where I was. Suddenly I gasped, I was in the forest, right Where Alpha Lucien had saved me from the huge bear. I knew that because I was standing right in front of the rock I had hit my head on. Immediately I thought that, I winced, slowly I pressed my fingers to my forehead. It felt wet there, I brought my hand back to see that it was stained with blood."But what am I doing here? Alpha Lucien and I already left this place. I could have sworn I slept in my bed last night" I mumbled out loud as I stared into the distance. Suddenly, a loud roar shook the forest and made me scream out in fear. I looked towards the sound and blanched in horror as I saw the huge bear that had attacked me before rushing with all its speed towards me. I screamed out again in fright. I thought Alpha

I'm at Alpha Lucien's door, my hands are raised and poised at the door but I can't knock. I don't want to knock but I have to and I will."You got this Avery" I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart then I knocked once, heard no response then knocked again."Come in" a gruff voice came from the other side, with a full I opened the door."Good afternoon Alpha, your lunch, I'll drop it here. If there is anything you need please let me know" I recited like a robot without looking up as I placed the tray on his table and began to back away."Avery?"I froze as I heard my name then with a straightening of my shoulders, I turned to face him with a professional smile on my face, not quite reaching my eyes."Yes sir"He was sitting on his bed, his long legs stretched out in front of him with a laptop on his laps, thank goodness he was wearing a shirt but still I could see the outline of his pecs and the way the shirt wrapped around his biceps tightly. His tattoos were left revealing and
