Avery’s POV Kane must have realized what I was thinking because he quickly grabbed my hands in his.“Avery, After Dorian left, i immediately came to explain everything to you, but you had disappeared,” Kane revealed, “then the next thing I heard was that you had come to this dangerous forest all alone, what the hell were you thinking?” He scolded. “You!” Fury and unbelief was boiling inside me. “I was thinking about you! You asshole! I was worried that you were going to die. I blamed myself for putting you in pain. I was so scared that you were going to die and leave me alone, but you were faking it all along?! How could you do that to me?!”I yelled with tears filling my eyes.The adrenaline of the past day, the fear, and the shock of seeing him now was finally getting to me.Kane looked deeply pained, like it hurt him to see my tears. “I’m so sorry, Avery. I was going to tell you everything as soon as possible but I didn’t have enough time, and that was my only chance to get ri
Kane’s POV If I wasn’t sure of my feelings for Avery before, then I was more than sure now. I now honestly believed that the goddess must have tied out destines together or Avery must have put a spell on me because—there was no other way to explain the raw, sharp, sheer terror that consumed when I heard that Hailey had sent Avery into the dangerous forest all alone. I almost had a heart attack and I knew that Hailey did it intentionally. I already knew that Hailey had been acting as a spy for a while now, she had been snooping around for any trace of Mona. But I’d taken every necessary precaution, to ensure that there was no evidence leading to Mona anywhere near me. It really wasn’t my intention to keep the sisters from each other, but Mona thought it was necessary, so I had to be the bad guy and keep lying to Hailey no matter how bad I felt when I saw Hailey break down from missing her sister. But the unfortunate thing was that Hailey was a smart girl and she seemed
Kane’s POV But I soon realized that today was just meant to punish me because Avery abruptly fell asleep as soon as she really settled in my lap. I was left with a raging hard on and it was a battle not to let the tears fall. Being the big boy I was, I swallowed my pain, covered her in a bed sheet, and fixed her pillow, doing my best to make sure she was very comfortable and would not have a neck pain when she woke up. When she woke up the next morning, she was so embarrassed, but I thought she was adorable. I was actually glad she’d drank that wine because it brought her to me and allowed her to open up about all the things the faerie had told her that were eating at her—especially the topic of Mona. My breath hitched when Avery mentioned her name, but I sighed. I always knew that we would eventually have this discussion, but there was no easy way to talk about it. Because how can I tell the woman I want to be with, that the last woman I wanted chose to die rather th
Avery’s POV I noticed the look in Kane’s eyes and I realized that his wolf had risen to the surface. But I knew that inner wolves of men as powerful as Kane would always be wild and unpredictable. If I didn’t do something now, Kane could hold me down on the bed and ravage me. I knew that he would stop if I asked him to, but I was worried that if I let him start, it would feel too good to ask him to stop. But I didn’t want our first time to be because his wolf was horny, I wanted it to be he because Kane and I wanted it and felt like it was time. I already felt like it was time and I actually really really wanted him, but I needed to be sure that Kane was ready and really wanted me too, so I put my hand up and stopped Kane from kissing me. Kane pouted like a little boy that was denied his treat and I chuckled at him. “We have been in bed for too long, shouldn’t we attend to your other responsibilities like ruling the north?” I teased, and reached for the papers Sophie
Avery’s POV “Now, be a good girl and get on the bed sweetheart.” Kane said. I would have liked to say that I played a little hard to get, to say that I didn’t embarrass myself by showing him how eager I was for him… but that would be a big fat lie. I was very eager for this, I was so eager that when his deep voice gave that command, I didn’t hesitate to rush over and sit on the bed. I half expected him to just jump my bones because he previously couldn’t seem to keep his hands off me, But he didn’t do that, instead he calmly walked over to his closet and took off his shirt like he had all the time in the world. His back was facing me, so I watched as his beautiful wing tattoo stretched over his thick rippling muscles and I felt my mouth water. I wanted to touch him, to hug him, to rub myself over him until I was covered in his delicious scent. Shit! When did I become this obsessive? As if Kane was trying to test my patience, he undid his pants and pulled them off, leav
Before there was Selene, the goddess of werewolves, there was Hestia --the goddess of warmth and fire. **Avery’s Pov Most women say that when your husband is cheating on you, you will know immediately. But in my case, I didn’t find out until it was too late. It was evening and my pack had just finished celebrating the end of a lunar eclipse in our house. Everyone had been partying, and i watched with pride as my husband graced everyone with his beautiful smile and enchanting eyes. It was the same smile that stole my heart 3 years ago and made it impossible to refuse when he asked me to marry him just a few weeks later. Of course I was worried that we were rushing things plus there was the fact that i was a mere commoner with no noble blood, and to make matters worse..... I had a disability. I couldn’t shift into my wolf form... and that was a big disgrace to werewolves. But James didn’t care, he had sworn by the heavens and the earth that he was hopelessly in love wi
Avery’s POV James eyes widened in surprise. “W-what?” “You heard me. When you asked me to marry you, You swore to reject your mate when you found her, so do it.” “Avery.. I can’t just—“ “Do it James!” I yelled. It felt like I was losing my mind. Lizzy suddenly screamed and fell to her knees, clutching James’s leg. “Please no! Please don’t reject me! I have a heart condition remember? If you reject me, I won’t be able to handle it, I’ll die! Please tell him sister.” Lizzy begged, looking at me with tears in her eyes. It was true, one of the reasons that I and Lizzy had grown very close was because she was diagnosed with a heart condition when she was 5. Luckily we managed to keep her healthy but she had always been fragile. We were always worried that too much shock or stress would kill her so we did everything and gave her everything to make her always comfortable. But now she wanted my husband too? No! I couldn’t give her that. “Avery please.” James begged
James POV Avery is my wife, and I love her. I love her so much that my heart aches sometimes. From the moment I first saw her, I was struck by how stunning and kind she was. Her Hazel eyes glowed with specks of gold in the sun and I felt my heart stop immediately. I was in love, and I needed her with me forever. I knew that she was a commoner, and I knew about her disability —that she couldn't shift, but I didn't care. I just wanted her. When I had sworn to reject any fated mate that I might find, I meant it. I loved her so much that I could never imagine another woman taking her place. I was 23 and way past the age of finding a fated mate. I honestly believed I didn’t have a fated mate, and I would have never Imagined in a thousand years that my fated mate would be her sister Lizzy. I truly felt horrible. Avery loves Lizzy so much. Why did it have to be her sister? Fate really was cruel. That evening, I was upstairs changing, when I heard knocking on the door. Th
