The Fated Mates Thirty Seven
The beginning of the night is spent in the most relaxing way Avery could think of.She has a bubble bath when she gets back to her room, and she reads some files that were slid her way by various Alphas."Avery?" Roman calls, knocking on the bathroom door."Shit," Avery mutters, groping around the tub for a towel."Yeah, I'm in here," she calls back, her voice higher than usual as she desperately looks for something to conserve her modesty with.She finally grasps one of the towels off the rail a meter away, and stands up out of the bath, wrapping herself in the towel tightly.Roman walks in just as she finishes covering herself, and she stares at him in silence, raising a brow when he just stares back."You needed me?" She sighs, leaning against the wall, some of her hair coming out of its topknot and falling into her face.She blows at the hair, trying to keep it out of her eyes."I was just wondering if you were hungry, or if you wanted to go for a run," he scratches his neck awkwa
The Fated Mates Thirty Eight
Avery is dragged to an empty room by Mike and Meredith, who tuck her in and stay for a few minutes until she falls asleep."I really don't like this," Meredith murmurs, and Mike nods silently, wrapping his arm around her waist."I'll ring York and tell him he'll have to take her home tomorrow, I can't watch her go to Lancaster's pack and be on her own like this," Mike whispers to Meredith, kissing her hair silently.They watch over Avery for a few more minutes, the atmosphere in the room heavy.When they eventually leave, they close the door quietly.Meredith runs a hand through her dark hair in worry and sighs reluctantly."If you tell York, I'll go and get her bags from Roman's room?" She suggests, and Mike nods firmly."If he goes near you, scream," he scowls, hugging his mate before they depart.Meredith walks slowly to where Avery stayed, her journey feeling like a death march.She knows fully well that Avery's misery isn't entirely down to Roman, but she also knows that a part o

Avery wakes up the next morning to somebody banging on her bedroom door.Well, it isn't her bedroom, and she doesn't know how she got to this room, but she's fully clothed and tucked in like a burrito, so she knows one of the girls probably put her to bed.She has a slight headache, made worse by the banging on the door, but she doesn't move."Where is he?" She croaks out loud, and Sonya sighs dramatically.He isn't here, you dumb bitch, she responds, and Avery furrows her brows.Where is he, then?, she asks, her tone a little sad.I don't know, probably his room? It's 6 am, I imagine he's still asleep, Sonya grumbles, and she can picture her wolf flinging herself back onto the ground.Why are we not in his room?, Avery asks, and as she asks, she remembers their almost argument, and her walking out.That's why, Sonya chirps helpfully, now please answer the door, or I'll shift and scare them away.Avery reluctantly climbs out of her warm burrito, a scowl on her face as the cold air of
The Fated Mates Forty
The drive to the airport is relatively quiet, York occasionally groaning in pain in his seat.Avery shoots him worried looks, and when he catches on, he turns the other way, his back facing her and his head against the window.His new position seems to make things a lot worse, and he quickly flips back over, his hand flying out to scrabble for his water bottle desperately.Ezra, his wolf, is freaking out. He can't calm himself down, and all he can feel is his heart racing as sweat builds upon his brow and neck."Avery," he gasps, panting for air as his sister roars to the guards to stop the car.She quickly drags him out of the vehicle, ripping open his shirt and tilting his head back."Is this a panic attack or something else?" She asks, looking into his eyes as he starts convulsing.We don't know, Ezra links to Sonya, and she can hear the terror in his voice as he loses control of his body and stops responding to her.Avery curses under her breath, the guards all standing around her

The tarmac is full of people when the plane lands, and York is immediately taken off the aircraft and carted into an ambulance, which speeds off quickly.He mumbled some other words while they were on the plane, but nothing of note, and nothing useful that would indicate any idea of what happened to him.As soon as Avery gets off the plane, she curses, her face paling immediately.One of the guards turns to her in fear, nodding his head to ask what was wrong."We forgot my dad," she groans, and the guard also pales.She pulls her phone out, ringing her mum nervously.Before Marie can speak once she answers, Avery blurts out what she has to say."Mum, we left dad, he wanted to run, and I forgot to tell him we were leaving early because we needed to get York home," she hurries, and Marie is silent.She's now concerned about her mate as well as her child, but she is ultimately more worried about her son."Ring him and let him know so that he isn't just sitting around waiting for you guys
The Fated Mates Forty Two
Louisa can't come until the following week, which bothers Avery a lot.Her offer to speak to her Alpha was shouted down, and then Avery was screamed at for being inconsiderate of Louisa's pregnancy.She hung up that call even more agitated than she had been when she entered the office.Louisa's mate had to physically remove the phone from her hand to get her to stop roaring, and he apologised to Avery before he hung up, mentioning pregnancy hormones.Sonya disagreed, and she disagreed loudly with the phrase she is the biggest drama queen I've ever had the displeasure of meeting.Avery agreed with Sonya again.It was only 11 am, but Avery felt like months had gone by.Taking out her laptop, she quickly gets up a blank document and begins listing reasons why she shouldn't announce her accession. She can't think of many, and even though it may have been impulsive, she mindlinks the entire pack available to meet at the pack's high school football field.Everybody is confused, but the meet

Avery slams the door to her office open, storming across the room."Where the fuck is your mate?" She snarls, lifting the woman out of her seat, and slamming her against the wall.One of the picture frames on the walls falls and shatters as the force of Avery's movements make the room shake.Beta Jared runs into the room, his eyes widening as he takes in the scene."Alpha, you can't do this," he nervously whispers, and Avery turns to him, her canines down, her eyes flashing, and her claws out.She's partially shifted, and her appearance makes Jared shrink back."Get out," she screams, and he quickly backs out, closing the door behind him and instantly linking for guards to stand outside the room."Where is your mate," Avery roars, slamming Freya against the wall again.The woman stares at her with tears in her eyes, her lip trembling, and her entire body vibrating with fear."Elijah Preston," Avery growls, lowering her tone and forcing herself to be calmer.It's one of the biggest cha
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
