Desired By My Mate

-Avery-

Anxiety embraced me as I stepped out of the car with Liam, I was finally in front of the Academy and I could not deny that the environment seemed quite good for my mental health, at least, I would be far away from toxicity and even given the chance to start a new life, oh, except, one little detail, sharing a room with a guy would be bad and tempting.-

The Lycan's wife who seemed to be the headmistress stood outside with her daughter and some other students to welcome me with a wide grin, I had to mirror their action even though it was forced. "Don't think you will stay here for long, soon, you will be back into your cage and I will make sure of that." Liam whispered and my smile instantly dropped.

It was heartbreaking to know that my blood brother did not want me to be happy, not even one bit, I would just have to behave myself.

"Welcome to Mason Academy!" The brunette girl with hazel eyes was the first to speak in an excited tone.

She extended her hand for a shake, "I am Ashley, the Lycan's daughter and your tour guide."

Her jovial nature just had to bring a smile to my face, I admired her freedom, if only my life could be like hers.

Back in the pack house, I was never given a reason to smile, they always made me shed tears.

I hesitated before taking her hand, I replied her in a low tone, "I am Avery."

I dared not address myself as Alpha Grey's daughter when Liam was around, he would just skin me alive, not even caring whether we were in public.

"This must be your...."

She waited for me to complete it but I did not because of fear.

"I am Liam, Alpha Grey's son." He answered.

"Oh, I thought you both were related." Her mother voiced out.

"No, we are not." He replied with a bit of coldness in his tone.

His words broke my heart badly.

"Alright, your pack member is in safe hands, please, tell your father that." She told him.

"Sure thing, ma." He said.

"Ashley, please, show her to her room." She ordered her daughter.

He instantly turned to leave, without saying goodbye.

Not that I was actually expecting him to but it was nice to imagine such with a last comfortable hug.

Other girls had big brothers that would lay their lives for them but all I got was a boy who wanted me, dead.

I followed Ashley into the hallway and I was amazed by what I saw, different supernatural breeds ranging from vampires, witches, dragons and the wolves, my gosh...

The guys were freaking hot but I had to snap myself out of it, none of them were my mate and boys were not my main priority.

"Uh, huh. They are hot, I know but wait till you see my brother." She bragged with a smirk that amused me.

I was not expecting him to be ugly anyways, his twin sister was damn beautiful.

She led me all the way to another chamber that was far away from the dormitory.

With every step that I took closer to my room, my heart rate increased and I started breathing heavily.

She halted in her steps and turned to face me, "Take a deep breath and calm your heat down, he won't bite, don't worry, he agreed to you staying with him."

Her words actually encouraged me and it was nice and surprising to know that someone actually cared about me, I did exactly as she told me before she opened the door.

She stepped aside for me to get in first, it was such a gigantic room compared to my tiny servant room back there.

It was neat and everything was in order, they were a king-sized bed by the side which was close to the window, I quickly assumed it belonged to Alex while there was a queen-sized bed at the other end of the room.

"I hope you like the arrangement, we thought it would be nice and comfortable for you both." She uttered.

It was perfect, thanked my lucky

stars that I did not have to share a

bed with him, things would have been really difficult for me especially during cold nights considering the fact that my pillow has always been my best friend and now, there was a guy.

The thought of that sent a funny feeling to run through my body.

"Yes, I like it, thank you." I replied her with a warm smile.

"Great! I would have helped you to unpack but I have a class right now, so, I will show you around the school, later at night if that would be okay with you." She stated.

I shrugged, "No problem."

"Alright then, your luggage will be here, any minute from now...oh, they are here." She announced.

They got in and kept it for me at my corner, I mouthed a thank you before they left.

It was weird to see people doing things for me while it was the reverse back home.

"I will see you, later, bye!"

After she left, I started arranging my things into my wardrobe.

I was finally done after what felt like

done

thirty minutes or there about, I decided to dress my bed when I heard footsteps approaching, I froze as the scent wafted up my nostrils, I did not want to hope too much so I would not end up disappointed.

It got stronger and closer and it made me dizzy as well, my eyes became teary as the guy that I have waited for so long, I was finally going to meet him, hopefully, he would love me and never give me a reason to cry.

He walked in and stopped for a

second, he perceived my scent too, I

stood up slowly and turned to lock

eyes with his light green eyes, his chiseled jaw line was everything, his pink lips that I could imagine were soft.

He was everything that screamed perfect.

He was my mate.
