The Fated Mates Forty Four
With Freya and Sam safely in a bunker, Avery quickly flew through interviewing some of the other volunteers.She only spoke to the ones whom the guards found useful, which was three out of eighty.It would seem that anybody who had heard anything ever about York was coming in to suggest that it could be the reason for the attack on him.She was straight up not having a good day.She had spent two hours with Freya, comforting her and sitting in silence with her. She had sent a counsellor to them, and a teacher for Sam to distract him while his mother got some help for a while.Her heart clenched at the thought of how many other women the pack could be failing, and she had made an order for three nurses to go through every file and pull out any rape or suspected abuse files.She would look at them later, maybe with the help of Kathleen or her mother, and allocate funding to help for a crises centre. Which should have been done long before this, and she could have sworn she had ordered i
The Fated Mates Forty Five
The moment Kali arrived, she was put to work.She was given the task of helping Kathleen organise the suspected abuse files, because it gave her something to do, and it meant that she was near Avery almost all of the time.Avery sighs, hearing Kathleen and Kali chatter before she walked into the room, swinging open the door nonchalantly."Good afternoon, ladies," she smiles, and Kali laughs."It's 11 am, Ave," she corrects, and Avery shoots her a mock glare."Don't ruin my entrances, little worm," she chuckles, and Kali sticks her tongue out at her."We have five files left, Ave, and then we're done - I can't believe this took two weeks," Kathleen sighs, sitting back in her seat."Brilliant - that's really good to hear, at one point I thought you'd never finish," Avery teases.The two girls roll their eyes at her with smiles on their faces.The energy around the pack is calmer this week.York was still in his coma and showed no signs of waking up, but things had moved on. Freya and Sa

Avery feels unstoppable.Her hair is all one colour again, she has the brightest red lipstick she owns on, and her brows are cooperating.With this all in perfect condition, she sets off to the bunker, holding all of her files and her laptop in her bag, her phone in her hand and a smirk on her lips.Her phone rings, and then stops, Sonya taking the message instead.Are we ready for this?, Sonya asks nervously, and Avery snorts inwardly.What are we not ready for?, Avery retorts, and Sonya doesn't respond.Unlocking the door, and scanning her eyes, ear, and fingerprints, Avery is finally allowed into the bunker after typing in four codes and giving a blood sample.She has everything locked down, and nobody goes in or out without her say so."Good morning, Freya," she beams, and the woman looks up at her from the table she's sitting at.There's sweat on her brow, and she jumps up in an anxious flurry."What did they say?" She asks, hurrying up to Avery and looking up at her.Avery pause

Sonya is trying to force as shift as the office door swings open.Avery turns around, her snout in place of her nose and mouth, and her claws out, ready to attack anybody who goes near her."As useless as ever," a red-headed woman sighs, shaking her head as her eyes land on Avery.Avery forces her shift to stop, and her face reverts back to normal."Louisa. I thought you were too busy to come to see your brother," she mutters, her rage still simmering."Well, I have to tell Mom and Dad about little junior here," her sister shrugs coldly, holding her stomach as if she's expecting somebody to attack it."Cool. Go do that, then," Avery responds, raising a brow."I heard about you shacking up with an Alpha. I'm surprised you're here, I expected you to be under him," her sister snipes, and Avery clenches her jaw a little."No, unlike you, I care about my family, and I'm where I'm needed," Avery retorts, opening her laptop and ignoring her sister.Louisa grits her teeth, and then hears foot

"We're going to go see York," Marie says after a moment of silence before she drags a gawking Louisa out of the hallway."I'll be in the main office," Richard scowls, slamming his shoulder into Roman's as he walks out of the house.Avery stares at Roman in silence, before she turns her back on him and storms into the kitchen."What the hell is wrong with you?" Avery snarls, slamming a glass down on the counter and pouring some iced coffee into it."Look, I'm here to explain," he protests, and she grits her teeth, spinning around with a can of whipped cream in her hand."No, you don't get to explain. Hanging up a phone generally means that the conversation is over. It doesn't mean you run here," Avery scowls, turning back around and putting some cream on top of her coffee."No," Roman sighs, grabbing Avery's shoulders and turning her around."I want to talk to you, properly," he firmly says, and Avery raises a brow."Yeah. I can't talk to you if you don't put some clothes on," she shru

They had just reached Avery's bedroom in her parent's house when they could hear the front door opening."Thank the Goddess you're quick," she mutters, and he looks at her, feigning hurt until she realises the possible double meaning of her words."Oh shit, we left the clothes downstairs," she whispers, and Roman tries to hide his smirk."It isn't funny, this is my parent's house," Avery hisses, flinging a pillow from her bed at him."Well, they'll be able to smell it anyway," Roman shrugs, "so just relax."Avery cringes a little, sniffing the air around them.Richard is soooo gonna know, Sonya chortles, and she grimaces a little."I don't know why I let that happen," she mutters as she walks into the bathroom, turning the hot water on.He comes up behind her and rests his hand on her hip, his erection pressing into her spine."Get that thing away from me before I chop it off," she commands primly, and he steps back with a chuckle."That isn't what you said ten minutes ago," he snicke

"Don't be too mean, please," Avery murmurs as she and Roman head back to her room."I'll say whatever I want. It was disrespect to you, but you can't do anything because Louisa is your family. I'll take the hit," he whispers to her, bringing her hand up to his lips and kissing it gently.Avery smiles slightly at his caring gesture, and she can't help the slight blush that her cheeks take on."Okay, but please don't be mean," she pleads, "because she is my sister. I'm the one who will have to deal with the consequences. You can go back to your pack at any time.""She'll get what she would if she was any other pack member," he promises, clenching his jaw, "although no other pack member would stare at us and mock you."His tone took on an irritated, almost angry note to it towards the end of his sentence, and she gently squeezes his hand, trying to force her independence down a little.Accept his help but don't depend on it, Sonya grumbles, slightly bothered by his need for dominance.Av
The Fated Mates Fifty one (I)
Avery stands up, her face going white.Her legs are numb, and her entire body is trembling as she moves.She feels like she's going to faint."What do you mean?" She asks, trying to keep her tone level, but she fails, her voice rising as she reaches the end of her question.What the fuck did he just say, Sonya snarls, and Avery is struggling to keep her in."Do you think this is all some sort of joke?" Avery snarls, her eyes flashing rapidly as she begins pacing the room.She's trying and failing to calm herself down, her canines descending and her bones beginning to crack as they prepare to shift.Roman stays silent, which is possibly the worst thing he could do."Has this all been a funny little play-pretend game to you?" She growls, her face slowly shifting, her bone structure changing quickly."It was never a joke," he murmurs, standing up and running both hands through his hair.If we're lucky, at this rate of running his hands through his hair, he'll go bald, Sonya grumbles.Bal
