Avery and Heartless Gideon: A Werewolf Romance

Her mouth suddenly formed an ‘o’ of shock as she spotted me standing at the long wooden counter. From the way she elbowed her friend, it was obvious they had been talking about Gideon and me. “Girls!” the cook scolded sharply. “Only cubs yap their mouths without thinking. Apologize at once.” “Apologies, Lady Avery.” They…

“What are you holding?” The question came out like an interrogation. I saw Camila’s eyes narrow and knew I would hear about it from her later. Avery practically squeaked, eyes wide, and held the plate out to me, forks rattling on the fine china. Am I really that scary? From what I could tell, Silvermoon…

Only one other person had ever tried to protect me like that. I used to think Ryan was a good person because he was the only one who had supported me when the others in my pack would bully me. But Ryan had known about how brutally my father treated me. He had seen the…

Never had I heard of someone having so vivid an interaction with the goddess or had their prayers answered so directly. Why me? I wondered. I jumped as someone knocked on my door. When I opened it, a servant handed me a flat package tied with a huge red ribbon. I carried it over to…

Somehow the image of pinning Avery down and spanking her seemed to derail into other images in my head and I shook my head to clear it. I can’t let her head games work on me. I thought back to the lingerie she’d sought to entice me with on her bed, and the way Tegan…

“Y-You dare?” Jessica’s screech sputtered into accusations as juice dripped down her body to a puddle on the floor. Everyone in the mess hall had stopped to watch the spectacle. I noticed more than a few hiding their smiles behind a hand or cup. At a table nearby, I saw Gideon’s doctor brother, Hudson, watching…

Slowly, I pulled myself up the wall and staggered down the hall to my room, cursing him ten ways to hell and back. Frustrating, stuck-up, sexy asshole. I cursed, hauling myself into the shower and setting the water to as cold as I could make it. What even was that?? I screamed as the stream…

I will find her. I swear it. “Yes. Tell them we will be attending.” Avery’s POV It felt exceedingly strange to be driving back to Silvermoon Pack with Gideon. After our scene in the hallway with him a few days previous, the tension in the car was palpable. I focused on staring out the window…
