All Chapters of The Alpha’s Nemesis : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

AVIONNA’S POV“Asshole.” I hissed the second the door slammed shut behind him, the sound bounding off the walls for seconds before everything went quiet.Ever since the goddamn, broody, overbearing brute brought me here, I had been consistently on the verge of tears, stewing in spite and trembling with anger.If anything, it was worse because never in my life had I felt so powerless, so completely at the mercy of someone else’s whims. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it was an Alpha who would rather watch me burn than die.He had made it clear, right before leaving, that he would never let me die, at least not under his watch and I just couldn’t help but crack a sardonic laugh.If I was really looking to die, then I would have just impaled myself with the fork I had been meaning to stab him with rather than go through the slow, painful agony of choking to death.To think that I had almost felt grateful towards him for saving my life. Now, all of that gratitude had evaporated, every molec

FABIAN’S POVThe sound of Martha’s hurried footsteps followed behind me.I stopped and turned around. “Yes, Martha?”She came to a halt, hesitating as though she was wrestling with how to broach whatever was on her mind.“Go ahead,” I prompted, checking the time on my watch. My meeting with Cicero was in a couple of minutes, and I didn’t have time to waste.“It’s about Miss Avionna,” she said and my face tightened immediately.“What about her?”“It’s been a few days since she arrived, and she has barely eaten anything. Last night…” Martha trailed off, her expression tightening with concern.“I know what happened last night, Martha.” I exhaled slowly, the words edged with impatience.“Yes.” She nodded quickly, clasping her hands together. “I just wanted to ask what I should do if she refuses to eat again. I’m worried something might happen to her.”I stared at her for a moment, jaw tightening. The last thing I needed was for Avionna to make herself sick before I had the chance to make

AVIONNA’S POVMartha’s gaze flitted from me to Reo, as though she feared I’d say something she didn’t have a response to.But I knew she would. I had visualized this conversation many times in my head, and had even made preparations for the kind of answers Martha would give.In this house, she was the only open book. At first, I had been skeptical about trusting anything she said but after last night, I came to the conclusion that she was the only person who wore her emotions openly and I had dealt with people like Ivy long enough to know when someone was faking it.Martha definitely wasn't. I didn’t know what her goal was, or why she didn’t hate me when her boss couldn't even stand the sight of me but I did know that her treatment of me wasn’t fake.Reo, by contrast, was no different from Alpha Fabian, both wearing imperceptible looks at all times. I couldn’t get a read on how he felt about me and if he simply saw me as someone he had been tasked to guard or if he had a deep rooted h

CHAPTER 18AVIONNA’S POVI kept a straight face as I walked out the house, fighting the urge to smile.Everything was working out for me and I couldn’t believe that minutes ago, I had been so anxious because I thought Alpha Fabian would deny my request to be allowed to leave the house.That would have ruined my entire plan.Luckily for me, the universe was on my side today. I didn’t even have to employ any tricks, he had just simply agreed.A part of me did think it was suspicious that he’d agreed without question, but I didn’t allow myself to dwell on it and chose to believe that he probably just trusted his man to keep an eye on me.Whatever it was, I didn’t care. Everything was going exactly as I planned it and that was all I needed.After days of being confined in Alpha Fabian’s home, it felt nice to feel the sun hit my face. For a brief moment, I basked in the warmth of the sun, soaking it in.Of course, tranquility was never meant to last because Reo’s voice intruded a couple of

AVIONNA’S POV I glanced over my shoulder impatiently then looked between the two women before my gaze settled on the stranger. She was pretty, with features that carried a familiarity that I couldn’t explain until Ivy spoke. “Avi, this is Cassandra,” She introduced, gesturing towards her. “Jonas’ cousin.” I glanced again at Cassandra who smiled politely. “It’s nice to meet you.” “You too.” I inclined my head at her, returning the smile, although mine was probably nowhere near as genuine as hers. At least now I understood why she had been staring at me earlier. She had no idea who I was and probably hadn’t expected Ivy to introduce a woman she had just bumped into as family. Ivy, however, seemed far more interested in me than Cassandra was. Her gaze moved over me once again, lingering for just a second too long before returning to my face. “So,” she began, folding her arms. “How have you been?” I nearly laughed. Was she really interested to know or was this ano
