~Avery~ The second the automatic doors of the company whooshed open; I knew I was in for some scrutiny. Eyes darted in my direction like I was the new, exotic exhibit. Their judgmental stares didn't faze me one bit. With my head held high and my back straight, I strutted in like I owned the place. Sometimes, I purposely met the eyes of those looking at me, and they either averted their gazes quickly or scattered like a bunch of pigeons, at the sight of a hawk. I anticipated this behaviour after King's announcement yesterday at the park, but I was ready to face anyone. Oh, I was ready to reply to any snide remarks. If someone wanted to drag me down, I would show them just how low we could go together. They needed to understand that I was no longer Miss Shy-and-Get-Pushed-Around. I was a full-blown woman now, tougher than steel and with priorities sharper than a brand-new pencil. My only problem was how all of this drama would affect my children. King had suggested I ride in the same
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 42~ Stalker?
~Avery~ I couldn't help but smile widely, my hand instinctively covering my mouth in a gesture of delighted surprise. Cassius's thoughtful gesture touched me deeply. His acknowledgement of my efforts as a mother and his appreciation for my work was heartwarming. My fingers itched to grab my phone and fire off a thank you text, but I forced myself to wait. Work first, gratitude later. I gently set the packages aside, then spun in my chair with a giddy twirl. The rest of the day passed in a blur of meetings and tasks, my mind often drifting back to the thoughtful gifts from Cassius. As the clock approached six-thirty, I knew I was late, and Jane would probably be waiting. But I had loads of work today. I was looking forward to returning to the packhouse, changing into something more comfortable, and meeting up with Jane. Walking down the now-deserted hallway, I decided to take a quick look at the latest headlines. I checked my phone with bated breath. My eyes landed on a particular

~King~ After the meeting with the Dubai investors, I saw them off, and stood by the sidelines, watching their vehicles depart. Grinning like a goof, I swaggered back to my office. The Dubai deal stuck in my head like a victory song on repeat. Billions. B-I-L-L-I-O-N-S. That's what this could mean for Thornwood Empire. If this deal works out, I will be swimming in billions, and Thornwood Empire will finally regain its former glory— back from the brink and kicking butt as it should be. I did a little fist pump as I neared my office door, feeling lighter than I had in ages. For the past two months, I have been making smart business moves. Desperation, man, that was a bad look. Made me do some seriously dumb stuff, like getting engaged to Regina Steel and forming a partnership with Bells Empire. But in the end, it wasn't all bad. It had brought Avery back to me, along with our two precious pups. Speaking of Avery, I paused outside her office door, wondering if she was still inside. But

If you don't like the sight or mention of blood, please do not read. ~Avery~ The truck roared away from my battered car, its engine a fading growl in the distance. I ignored the searing pain in my bleeding leg as I leapt into the dense forest, branches clawing at my clothes and face. From the truck, two men dressed in inky black leapt out, shifting into their wolf forms mid-air. Big, savage wolves. Their transformation was swift, and soon they were hot on my trail. The gash on my thigh throbbed with every step, but I forced myself to keep running. I couldn't afford to slow down; survival was my only option. My little training as a Luna in Duncan's pack had been rigorous, but even that might not be enough against two powerful wolves. A few minutes into my desperate dash through the woods, an explosion rents the air. I whipped my head around, my heart plummeting as I saw my car erupting into a fiery inferno. I whimpered, f
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 1~ The Judgement
~Avery~ I knelt at the centre of the grand hall, surrounded by the esteemed members of the Silverpine pack. My gaze remained fixed on the ground, avoiding eye contact with anyone. Deep down, I yearned to meet King's eyes, for I believed he was the only one who would believe me, but they had kept me from him since last night. In this pack, they despised me, and no one would entertain the notion of my innocence, even if I pleaded otherwise. Beta Kristopher, who had never held much regard for me in this pack, rose and positioned himself before me. I had always been seen as unworthy of the Luna title. I was only but a mere rogue who was captured to come and serve as a slave, but I somehow became the Luna because King, my mate needed a Luna. The pack members had never truly accepted me, and today seemed to mark the end of my reign. I had fallen before I had the chance to rise. "It appears we are all present now," Kristopher announced, as Sammy, my closest friend, entered the
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 2~ The Crime
~Avery~ Throughout the day, my thoughts lingered on King, and I found myself yearning for his return. With no enthusiasm for my classes or training, I pretended to be unwell, of course, I was lovesick, and I confined myself indoors. I spent the day lost in memories of the previous night, my mind replaying each moment until the sky outside was awash with orange hues. Eventually, I rose from my bed and stood by the window, my gaze fixed on the horizon, eagerly awaiting my mate's return. My mind was a whirlwind of questions. Why had King touched me the way he did last night? Would he come back to me this evening? Was this a sign of his acceptance? Thia, my wolf, was brimming with excitement, her restless energy almost infectious. It was then that Sammy's voice pierced my reverie through our mind-link. 'Hey, Ave, are you there?' she inquired, her mental voice tinged with concern. 'Yes, I am,' I replied, my voice bubbling with barely contained excitement. 'Thank go
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 3~ The Fight
~Avery~ As I knelt under the heavy gaze of the assembly, the solemn voice of Kristopher rang out, casting a shadow over my fate. "Avery Frost is kneeling here today, accused of infidelity with a rogue, and also aiding the rogues by giving them vital information about our pack, which caused their last successful attack that claimed the lives of many pack members which we are still grieving." Kristopher turned to me, his piercing eyes fixed on me, he continued. "Avery Frost, the trial today will look at the evidence to determine if you are guilty of these crimes." Perspiration formed like icy beads on my forehead as I scanned the room, every pair of eyes a judge unto themselves. "Avery, do you swear by the sacred goddess to speak the truth and nothing but the truth?" "I do," I replied, striving to keep my voice unwavering. In the corner, I heard my mother's muffled sobs. She knew I would never commit the crime they accused me of. I could never bring harm to
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 4~ The Verdict
~Avery~ As I regained consciousness, I found myself bound and lying on the cold, unfeeling ground, surrounded by impenetrable darkness. The only covering on my body was an oversized shirt, which belonged to King. My eyes strained against the pitch black that enveloped me, but no shape or form emerged from the shroud of night. A flood of emotions— the sharp sting of recent events overwhelmed me. Betrayal, so raw and profound, bore down upon my soul with an unbearable weight. Succumbing to this tide of despair, tears flowed freely, tracing cold paths down my cheeks. I thought about my mother. The thought of her, enduring this ordeal, her mind wracked with worry for me, intensified my anguish. I didn't want her to worry so much about me, so I tried speaking to her through the mind-link. 'M-mom?' I whispered hesitantly. 'Avery, my dear,' her voice, laden with relief and anxiety, echoed in my mind, as though she had been anxiously awaiting my awakening. 'You're fin
