Chapter 16
Avalynn POV
I sat up in my bed wet from being completely drenched in sweat and looked over at my phone to check the time. I had thirty
minutes before the alarm went off at four thirty and decided to get up and get ready. It was time to do a training session and see
where my nonexistent skill level would be.
“Girl, give us more credit. You may not have training but we have Royal blood. We will be naturally stronger and quicker.”
She always seemed to always have a positive outlook, I could really learn from her one day. I got myself up, ready, and pulled
my hair into a messy bun. Everest was walking into the bathroom as I was leaving and pulled me into his arms. He buried his
face into the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent deeply. His chest vibrating with a satisfied sound that put a smile upon my
face.
I reluctantly pulled away and he instantly began to pout. “Come back to bed.” I sighed and shook my head “I wish I could but you
know I can’t be late for training.”
He made a vibrating low growl sound and kissed my forehead. His arms tightened around me before his lips found mine. When
he let mel softly sighed. “Have a good day.”
“You too, want me to stop by?” He smiled “Uh.. well no, only because I’ve never trained before and I don’t want you to think I
suck.”
He laughed and kissed me again quickly “Go train and have a good workout.”
T returned the kiss and nodded, leaving the comfort of our room and made my way down the stairs. I picked up a water, a juice,
and a granola bar to eat while I walked to the training grounds. When I was leaving the kitchen I ran into Amber who looked like
she just woke up.
“Hey! Sorry I am late. Let me grab an apple and water real quick!” She zipped right by me and I leaned against the wall waiting
on her. When she walked out we made our way to training together.
We started by stretching every muscle, including the ones I wouldn’t think about stretching. I was pulled aside by Caiden, the
head training officer, and we did some one on one. He started me off with a warm up of running laps around the gym. 1,
surprisingly enough, completed the twenty-five laps around the gym easily. He then got to work on some basic moves because I
had zero knowledge on how to not only protect myself but to counter attack and fight someone else. It was a lot of information
that I would need to take in and practice every day. I did well for never training before and my strength was more than 1
had anticipated.
My muscles ached and my stomach growled as I was walking out the door. I looked down at my smart watch and it read 8:30
am. I guess time flies when you’re having fun. Three hours of training flew by quickly. I made my way back to the main hall and
into the kitchen and dining area. When I got closer to my destination the smell of sausage and bacon filled my nostrils as I
breathed in deeply. My stomach growled
louder in hunger.
I walked in and made a huge plate of waffles, eggs, sausage, and bacon. I ate until I was satisfied and went to get ready to go
shopping with Amber. Today was finishing my wardrobe and tomorrow would be when we would start ball gown shopping for my
crowning ceremony. It could take a few days to find the perfect dress. I hoped not though, only because I hated shopping and
trying on clothes. Although having nice things that fit properly and hugged my curves perfectly made it better.
When I walked into the bathroom to shower I came faced with a bouquet of flowers and different make up options. It may be silly,
but I was so excited and giddy inside I couldn’t wait to put it on. My shower was hot and I was sure that the devil himself couldn’t
stand the temperature of my water. The heat of the shower soothed my aching muscles and I stayed in there longer than I
intended to. Once out I fixed my hair and did a natural make-up look, then got dressed. As I was sliding on my shoes the door
knocked. I walked over and opened it and Amber was smiling back at me.
“Ready?!” She was way to excited and I nodded and offered a small smile.
“Sure. Let’s get this over with.” I picked up my bag and walked out to go shopping. It was an all day event and by the time we
reached home it was dark and we were both exhausted and starving. I bumped into Sarah on the way out. She gave me a glare
but never said anything. I wondered why she just wouldn’t leave already when I walked with Amber into the dining hall.
I sighed and sat at my spot in between Amber and Everest who had his arm around me. I leaned into his comforting embrace
and sighed happily only sad when he excused himself for only a moment.
Sarah walked in and sat quietly almost as if she was struggling to either speak or hold back. I watched her closely, she was
acting strange. When she finally began talking it was to Amber about shopping and where we would be going the next two days.
Bored with their conversation I turned to Everest as he sat back down and we began discussing his day and my day.
Sarah POV
I watched her leave with Amber from the treeline. They were laughing as they walked together. Going shopping I assume. I
looked at my phone and checked the time before sending a text to Dexter.
“She’s leaving now. They came back from the gym around 8:30. They will be shopping and going to town the next few days.
They’re taking the black SUV with two body guards riding with them.” i bit my bottom lip before hitting send and walked back
inside and to my room. I sat on the small couch and thought about the previous night with Dexter.
Thadn’t planned on staying the night but he was so damn persuasive and I caved into him. We both had pent up s****I desires
that we let loose with one another. It was hot, rough, and dirty. My fingers moved to my lips as I was lost in the thought of him. I
could definetly get used to him but I knew it would never be happy. Not happy like I was with Everest.
Before Everest left to go to the damn wolf pack he and I had planned on making everything official and come out to the public of
our secret relationship. Well, he didn’t know that but I was going to tell his father everything. I knew what I wanted and I not only
want him but I want to be Queen.
Instead he found his fated mate who is apparently a secret Royal that has been missing and in hiding. Good thing she’s only had
a few days of training, or she would be lethal. I also heard that she could hear thoughts. I wonder if that witch of Dexter’s has any
potion to block thoughts.
A ding sounded from my phone that made me jump and brought me back to present and real life. It was Dexter returning my
text.
“See if you can get information on where she will be shopping the next few days. Meet me with the information tonight, wear
something comfortable, we will be traveling the woods. -D”
“I will be there tonight. See if your witch has anything to block her from hearing thoughts. She hasn’t learned how to fully use her
ability but we don’t want to risk it. -S”
I laid back on the couch and sighed, my eyes closing trying to calm myself and relax some. I thought again of last night and our
deal. I would give him information and he would do with it as he pleases. He wants her and the minute he gets what he wants,
he’s taking her to the south east coast somewhere. He has a masking potion and a bunch of special flowers that hides your
scent when you place them around an area. The flowers, given by a witch, hide the scent up to 20 yards. The only way to over
power the masking of both is blood.
I still can’t believe he has a witch working with or for him. It’s rarely unheard of a witch and Lycan mixing together and working
together because the two don’t generally get along. I am happy though, because in the end I will get him, Dexter will get her. He
will be mine and that b***h will be off to the east
coast somewhere.
I laughed to myself as a smile crossed my face before falling asleep and taking a small nap.
Dexter POV
My phone dinged and I read the messages from Sarah. She was a useful little spy, easy too which was a plus. She fed me the
information that I needed and gave me the release that has been building for so long. I looked at my phone and messaged a few
of my most trusted people. One of which who came to me, angry and wanting revenge on Everest. He was supposed to be away
learning how to be a good little
Alpha but instead he tipped me off on her whereabouts when he was sent off to learn.
Stupid little wolf with a ego much to large, I hope that in Everests quest to find his mate he kills him. I
may just leave that bit of information behind as a distraction.
I sat in my chair and pondered over keeping the wolf or giving him up. He became even more desperate when his little she wolf
left him for her fated mate. She traveled with him and the first pack he went to, her mate was the future Alpha and she
immediately left him. He couldn’t stand to be there and he left, seeking me out and dropping the location of my sweet Avalynn.
My phone dinged and I glanced at it, it was Sarah asking about the witch and a specific spell or potion. I was sure Calandra had
something.
I sent her a message “I need a potion to block the minds of a thought reader. Do you have anything?
She responded quickly, “Yes, I will bring it with me along with other things in two days. Then I will be done with this once you
have what you’re after. -C”
“Of course, give me enough to last a while. Once she’s with me and the amount is correct you are free and your debt is paid. -D”
I dialed Ryders number and he answered on the second ring. “Ryder where exactly are you hiding out? I will need your
assistance in a day or two. I have a hideout, masking scent, everything we will need for the
grab.”
He sighed through the phone “I am about two miles outside their territory hiding out and waiting. My father still thinks I am with
that first pack. No one is going to know I am helping you until I take that Lycans fathers head off. I want to take everything away
from him.” He was gritting his teeth.”Just like he took everything away from me. I want to watch him panic and realize that he has
lost everything. He will watch his father die, his mate ripped away from him, then I will kill him.”
“Keep that anger and hold onto it. Soon, soon.” I told him before hanging up.
The stupid wolf was a dead man walking. If he made it to kill Everest not only would I be impressed, I would be stunned. The
minute Everest gets word his father has been murdered, security is going to tighten and Everest will be out for blood. Which will
make it extremely difficult for me to get Avalynn. That is why I need to use his father’s death as a distraction and maybe take out
a cell phone tower so it’s hard to
communicate.
I sat at my small table and unfolded a map. I searched around the main house, familiarizing myself with the ins and outs of the
place. I would need to take out all forms of communications, including their internet. I rubbed my eyes after a while and figured
out a plan. I stood and stretched my muscles and peered out the window. Sarah would be here soon and she’s going to show me
everything I need to know for cutting lines of communication.
packed a black backpack full of explosives and the detonator. I planned on doing it remotely. When the explosion goes off, his
father will be murdered, and I will make my move on Ava. A wicked smile crossed my lips as the door knocked.
