AvalineRocco didn’t release me all day. I could hear the staff moving around upstairs, preparing the house for a guest. Was Lucienne here already? I paced my room agitatedly, waiting for an update.Cars came in and out, yet no one arrived at the basement for me. For eight years, I had helped my so-called brother, going through every torture possible. Yet now that his wishes were fulfilled, he forgot his stepping stone to success: his sister.At least Rocco was better than him. He didn’t owe me a thing, yet he ensured my comfort every day. I expected nothing from him, but he seemed to be the only well-wisher I had in enemy territory.I closed my eyes and rested as long as I could. By now, Lucienne might have realized she had been played. She might hate me for tricking her. Maybe she was regretting setting foot in Waltonville now.The door unlocked, but I didn’t look up. It was almost dinnertime, and the staff might have brought in my meal.“Ava, come with me. Alpha Kaizen is expecting

AvalineMy heart shattered at her accusations. The sweet friendship we used to share before was gone. Lucienne didn’t trust me anymore. “I don’t support them, Lucy. Every second, I want to kill them. They kept me imprisoned in a dungeon for three years. You cannot imagine the torture I went through. During the third year, Kaizen killed a pack member from the dungeon every month to punish me. Every move of mine is being monitored, and my phone tapped. I couldn’t seek help from the Shifter Council. After years, tonight, my brother let down his guard for the first time.”She frowned at me with disbelief. “Then how did you call me?”I sighed and looked into her eyes. I knew she didn’t believe a word I said. “Kaizen wanted me to call you. I told you whatever he asked me to say.”She gaped at me, realizing what it implied. I had lured her into the trap on purpose. “And you obeyed him? You jeopardized my life, knowing I’m the sole provider for my pups.”I sat upright with tears in her eyes.

AvalineOne of Kaizen’s men kicked the driver’s door. “Open it!”In my panicked state, I tried to keep calm and reached for my phone. Just then, the window shattered and glass rained over me. A hand grabbed my hair and knocked the phone out of my hand.I screamed as the hand unlocked the car door and dragged me out. I fought viciously, but I was no match for their animal strength. “You bitch! Did you think you could escape?” yelled a burly wolf as he aimed a punch at me.The first punch struck my stomach, and I doubled over. Another hit my face, and I fell to the ground.“Where were you going, bitch? Did you think you could crawl to Mammoth Springs?” They howled with sick laughter.I tried to crawl toward the car, but one of them kicked me hard in the stomach.“We can’t let you escape, bitch.” The man pulled out his phone. “I’m calling Alpha Kaizen now. He should be here any minute to handle you.”“No…” I whimpered, trying to get up and run. But they grabbed me and kept me pinned to t

AvalineI turned my head slowly. Sitting in a metal chair beside my bed was Alpha Jason. He was an imposing figure even when seated, radiating an aura of dominance that commanded the absolute submission of everyone in the room. His jaw was set tight, his dark eyes brooding beneath a heavy brow.“Alpha,” I whispered, instinctively lowering my chin in a show of respect, though the movement made my neck scream in protest.“You’ve been unconscious for two days,” Jason said, his voice flat, though the underlying current of anger was palpable. “The doctors were doubtful whether you would wake up. You lost a lot of blood. Three broken ribs, a punctured lung, a gunshot wound, both knees fractured, and silver-laced lacerations across your back. It was a targeted ambush. Do you know your attackers?”I nodded slowly. “A-Alpha K-Kaizen.” I could barely whisper the words. My vision blurred as I tried hard to focus on him.Alpha Jason’s expression hardened. “I see.” He leaned forward, resting his e

Rockwell Lancelot (Rocco)“The consignment leaves through the main gate, Rocco. Ensure it reaches Alpha Thorin’s warehouse in Duncan Hill, Fayetteville at all costs, or I’ll make you pay,” hissed Alpha Kaizen, throwing a bunch of keys at me. I caught them with my signature cold, grim expression, although my heart did a somersault. These keys held absolute power. They unlocked every lock in Waltonville. “Handle everything in my absence tonight. I’m heading to the pack house for the Luna Ceremony. Be there on time.”“Understood.” I nodded briefly and walked out of the office. My heart thumped wildly with excitement, thinking about what lay ahead for me tonight. I would finally be free from these twenty years of bonded labor. I had already thought where I would go: to Mammoth Springs, to Ava. Would she give someone like me a chance to see her every day? That was all I ever asked from the Moon Goddess: a chance to stay by her side every day and to protect her as long as I lived.I turned
