Chapter 3


    Chapter 3


    Avery


    The cool wind ruffled my pelt as I ran and ran. The coolness almost reminded me of Alpha Jake but I


    shook my head to clear the stu pid thoughts out of my head at once.


    Alpha Jake wasn’t mine anymore, he belonged to Lily.


    Having those kind of thoughts would just bring me nothing but pain. It will be a permanent reminder of


    how cruel fate has been to me.


    The fact that he didn’t want me still send waves of awful pain through


    me.


    I made a special howl to the sky. Another howl answered me after a while.


    Unknown to my pack members that thought the worst of me, I had made a friend over the years.


    Her name was Sadie. Because she was the runt of her pack, her pack -members shunned her.


    Sadie had a good background as her father was a Beta and a strict one at that. Her mother died during


    childbirth.


    Her father med the death of his mate on Sadie. We were simr in that regard. It didn’t help the


    situation that Sadie didn’t inherit his beta blood and that she wasn’t a male werewolf.


    All this thingspiled to drop Sadie’s impression in her father’s sight and the pack members followed.


    Outsiders can’t cherish what you degrade.


    After Sadie’s father died in one of the pack battles, it marked the beginning of Sadie’s descent into hell.


    Sadie’s pack members treated her badly as time went on and she had to live at the edge of the


    territory. We found each other one night when I and Sadie coincidentally went for a breather in this


    woods that bordered my pack, Silver Crescent and her pack, Crimson Blessing.


    That very day, I came across Sadiementing out loud to the forest. She was pitiful that day but I have


    no right toment because that day, I was also worse for wear. I hade out of a bullying session


    with Chase and Dean. We were no different.


    She was shocked to see me but she understood when she saw me that we were simr in more ways


    than one.


    Our friendship bloomed from there and it remained as strong as the day it sprouted.


    I picked up my pace as I raced to I and Sadie’s rendezvous point. Our rendezvous point was closer to


    Sadie’s pack than to my pack because we both agreed that Sadie’s treatment from her pack was better


    than mine.


    At least if any werewolf from Sadie’s pack discovers the wooden shack that acted as our rendezvous


    point, her punishment would be milder than when my pack members discovers it if the location was


    closer to Silver Crescent pack.


    I finally reached the wooden shack. I started to shift back to my human form.


    My fur receded and my bones morphed to the required shape and length. I opened the shack’s door


    and entered.


    The wooden shack’s interior was as bare as the outside. No sensitive materials were inside and we


    were too poor to furnish it with household items.


    Our homes in our respective pack does not have good furnishing too.


    I cleaned one part of the floor before settling down. I waited for Sadie toe to the shack.


    My mind could not help straying to Alpha Jack. The thought of him still bring pain but the ache was


    dulled somehow. Now, only revenge and payback dominated my mind.


    A rustle sounded. I looked up to see Sadie making her entrance with poise. I don’t really know why


    Sadie’s pack members discriminate against her. Sadie was beautiful and smart.


    Her blond hair looked almost white and she had pale blue eyes that seemed to suck the person she


    was staring at into oblivion. Her eyes were different from Alpha Jake’s eyes in that regard.


    Her figure was on point too and sometimes I feel like I can’tpare to her. She had the looks that


    demanded poprity.


    “Hey beautiful.” Sadie said with a bright smile adorning her face. She was wearing a beautiful short


    sleeved top and knee length skirt.


    Her pale skin was highlighted by the ck skirt she wore.


    I returned her smile without standing up. Maybe she saw how strained


    my smile was as she sat down beside me after cleaning the spot she was going to settle in.


    “What is wrong?” She asked after she made herselffortable.


    Remembering the ordeal I went through caused my eyes to sting. I looked away from Sadie.


    “I got my mate yesterday.” I managed to croak out. I folded my knees against my torso before I


    wrapped my arms around it.


    Sadie was confused before what happened finally dawned on her.


    Anger clouded her face, “Don’t tell me he rejected you?”


    I


    gave a feeble nod before resting my head on my knees.


    “Is he an Alpha?” Sadie asked when she managed to calm down. I nodded again.


    “Don’t worry. That Alpha would see that he lost a very important thing. We will show him how blind he


    is.” Sadie promised vehemently.


    I threw her a look of appreciation, “He isn’t native to our pack and after he rejected me, he got a second


    chance mate. He wouldn’t be around to see my improvements and my recement was Lily.”


    A gasp bounced off the walls.


    Sadie’s eyes were open in shock.


    “That Lily that pretends to be on your side? That is his second chance mate?” She shook her head,


    “Fate can be very cruel.”


    I gazed past the door to the night sky that was dotted with stars and a huge luminous moon.


    “I wanted to hurt them. I wanted to tear into their flesh so badly. I wanted to give them payback for what


    they have done. Am I a bad person?” I said without moving my sight from the beautifulndscape that


    is the sky.


    Sadie patted my folded arm, “Having a few bad thoughts is normal, at least you have a right to that.”


    Sadie stood and dashed out of the wooden shack.


    “I aming!” Her voice echoed through the woods before dying down.


    Sadie came back a minute or twoter with a big bag and a mirror in her Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    arms.


    “I’m back. We are going to let loose today and have the best time of our lives.” Sadie informed me


    before setting everything down in the shack’s


    floor.


    She brought out attires from the bag and makeup tools.


    Within a minute, I was dressed in a tight ck and red gown. The gown had a ck as an


    extension. My skin was highlighted and when I looked into the mirror, I felt like I was a goddess. The


    ck and red gown made me look like I was wreathed in the mes of the underworld. It matched my


    inky ck hair and it didn’t sh with my deep green eyes. Sadie did my makeup before dressing up


    herself. She wore an all red gown that gleamed when the moon rays touched it.


    We locked the wooden shack’s door before shifting to our wolves. Sadie’s wolf was the color of cream,


    it looked like white but it isn’t.


    I followed Sadie’s lead as she began to navigate the forest


    We reached an human city. The popce was bustling even if the night has covered everywhere. The


    city had a night life that was very alive.


    I hadn’t been to an human city before. There was no reason to and I was preupied with my chores.


    Sadie, on the other hand seemed to be very familiar with this ce. She -brought me to a building.


    The building was low key but luxurious at the same time. Two bulky males stood at the entrance.


    I sniffed the air and I noticed that those bouncers were werewolves too. This club caters to werewolves


    too.


    Sadie dragged us to the entrance. When the bouncer on the right asked for an invitation card, I


    panicked.


    Sadie dispelled my panic when she brought out a ck card rimmed with gold.


    The bouncers let us in.


    “Sadie, how did you get an invitation card?” I asked.


    “You know that guy from my pack that is wooing me? This invitation card is one of his gifts to me. Don’t


    be shocked, there are still VIP and VVIP cards above this one.” Sadie said with a smug smile on her


    lips. She looked at ease here and I tried my best to follow her lead. She took me to the club’s dance


    floor.


    An high tempo music was ying as the colorful lights sprinkled the dance floor with bright lights.


    Sadie dragged me to the bar.


    “I know you, you won’t be able to dance to my satisfaction if you are still sober and you are probably


    still a virgin. Today is the night you’ll lose it.” Sadie said with ulterior motives shining in her pupils as


    she ordered something from the bartender.


    I didn’t stop her and when she set the drinks before me, I gulped it down with fervor.


    Previously, I wanted to keep myself for my future mate but now that I was rejected and unwanted, it


    didn’t matter if I kept my v-card or not. My belief in mates and the mate bond has weakened


    considerably, I will rather chose someone of my choice instead of subjecting myself to the agony and


    pain the mate bonds brings.


    The alcohol burned my throat as it travelled to my stomach. After downing a few cups, I began to feel


    woozy and I wondered what kind of mixture it is that it could affect me, a werewolf to this extent.


    When Sadie saw I was drunk, she led me to the dance floor as she danced. I copied her moves


    because I couldn’t dance at all.


    – It was then I saw him.


    He wasing down from the decorated stairs that probably led to the VIP or VVIP sections of the


    club.


    His purple hair was styled to the side and his enchanting lc eyes captured my soul. The suit he wore


    did nothing to hide his warrior build. I could hear my wolf, Silver purr softly and I decided within me that


    this was the man I was going to lose my v-card to.
