A week later
Avery’s POV
It all comes down to this day
The day Dylan would become the Beta officially while Liam, the Alpha
The day I meet my father and wake that sleeping wolf up
Maybe… The day the truth is revealed
“Where are you going this early?”I shook when I heard Mr. Arthur ask from behind me
“Nowhere far… just wanted to get some air” I lied.
I can’t tell him I’m going to meet my dad
I dunno why that devil’s forcing me to come this early
“By three in the morning?” he tilted his head
“Why are you up so early?” I tried changing the topic
“Well. I decided to wake up early to make sure a particular girl doesn’t go and get herself killed” he said with his hands behind him
“Huh” I tilted my head to the side
“You left your phone on the counter last night”
“So you decided to read my texts?!” I frowned
“Nope. Your phone was unlocked when you got a text from someone that caught my eye” he shrugged
“Look… I need to do this. This might be my only chance to find out how to wake my wolf. Besides, he’s my father. Why would he kill me?”
“He killed your mom”
“I’m going armed” I frowned
“He’s probably more prepared than you are”
“Ugh. I’m leaving. Please let me have my space. You said I shouldn’t bother helping you when I think you’re in trouble so can you please do the same for me” I begged
“No” he plainly said
“Let me be! I’m not even your daughter!”
Dylan’s POV
A knock on my room’s door woke me up
“Dad…” I was still sleepy and my voice could reflect it. I already knew it was my dad at the other side of the door
“Dress up” he said plainly
I sat up, yawning then looked at the clock “It’s seven” I frowned
Why would they even start early?
I got off my bed wondering where Avery went
She slept in my room last night and she usually wakes up late
I walked to my closet then got out the suit Avery told me to wear today
I hope she’s gonna be the first person to see me wear this
I did everything I was suppose to do to get ready for the event
It didn’t take too long to dress up
I left my room as soon as I was done
“Avery!” I yelled as soon as I left my room
I was adjusting my collar when I bumped into my dad
He was already dressed
“That was fast” I smirked
He didn’t look like he was in the mood to chat “I’m leaving now, to make sure everything is ready. Eat your breakfast and try not being late”
“Where’s Avery?”
“She left earlier”
“Why?” I asked
“No time to explain. I’m off. Good luck with the event” he said as he left the house in a hurry
I frowned, watching him leave
“This is not how I imagined this day” I mumbled as I walked to the kitchen
I accessed the kitchen, picking out every possible option I had for breakfast
I starred at them for a while but then I realized… I wasn’t in the eating mood… I wasn’t even in the mood to go out. I just felt odd and uncomfortable
I quickly grabbed the car keys, left the house then bounced into my car and drove to the location the event was taking place
The first person I saw was Liam
He looked like he’s been waiting “You’re late. The event is about to start”
“Where’s Avery?” I asked, ignoring what he said
“I don’t know… I thought she’d be with you”
I started worrying for a reason… I don’t know
“Where’s my dad” I asked
“He came here earlier but he left in a hurry to the pack house”
“He probably went after Avery” I quickly said as I opened the car door
“Where are you going?” he asked when I got into my car
“I’m gonna pick up Avery from her dad’s place. I’ll be back in a second” I said then turned on the engine
“I’m coming with you. If you go there alone, you’ll take longer than expected”
“Then get in” I rolled my eyes
He was about to but his dad called him so he had to go
I drove off and got to Avery’s house in no time
I attempted opening the door without knocking but it was locked
It suddenly swung open
First thing I saw was a knife heading for my abdomen
My fast reflexes helped me save myself
I looked forward to see who threw the attack
“What the-” before I could complete my statement, Avery’s dad punched me
His punch didn’t have much of an effect on me. I threw my punch immediately
That made him take two steps back
I kicked him on the abdomen and that made him fall
I squatted to grab knife he had but before I could pick it up, I felt a sharp pain on my the side of my rib
I groaned then turned to see who it was
The person kicked my face and that made me fall on the floor. She stabbed my abdomen immediately
I closed my eyes groaning at the pain
“I told you, you’d regret rejecting me. Asshole” the person laughed “Why don’t you go kiss your dead Avery now”
The place smelt like blood, Avery and my dad
I guess this is the day
I noticed that Avery’s dad was reaching for his knife, so I quickly picked it up
I felt my hand bruise up immediately I grabbed it
Its silver
Ignored the pain and held on the knife
Avery’s dad stood and was about to kick me but I put the knife where his leg was heading
“Fuck” he swore when his leg hit the knife
He fell
“Pathetic” Tessa hissed then walked up to me
She watched me struggle a bit to get up
I stood in front of her, facing her disgusting smirk
Avery’s dad held my leg
I didn’t hesitate to stab his hand
Tessa giggled “I hate him too. He’s the reason Avery exist” she said, taking steps towards the injured man
“You came up with this plan. What are you doing?” He asked when he noticed Tessa hold out the knife and squat beside him
“I just needed you to lure her here… We’re done no-” before she could finish, I stabbed her back
It wasn’t much impact though. The silver hurt my hand too much so my grip was loose
The knife fell out of my hand
“I feel so betrayed” she giggled then stabbed Avery’s dad “My. Mate. Tried. Killing. Me.” she kept stabbing him with every word
She stood then turned to me
“Where’s Avery?” I frowned
“Dead” she giggled “Give me a kiss. I did a good job”
I hissed then punched her face
She fell easily. I didn’t even punch that hard
I quickly grabbed the knife
I rushed, following the trail of blood I saw on the floor
It lead me to Avery’s room
I felt my heart seize when I saw Avery on the floor
She was in a blood bath
Her neck was bleeding, palms too, two stabs in the abdomen, bleeding nose and mouth
Beside her was my dad with two stabs on his abdomen
“I’m dreaming again” I panted out, feeling Tessa stab my side
I knelt beside Avery
“I guess I’m a single lady now” Tessa giggled
I pulled Avery closer to me, hugging her body, feeling blood drip down my shirt. My eye sight worsened
I could barely see
“Ugh! Leave her. She’s dead” Tessa groaned then squat beside me, pulling Avery from me
I held on to her. Tessa hissed then picked up the knife
Before she could stab me again, I lost my balance and fell next to Avery
Before I lost consciousness, I saw Avery’s fangs grow
I smiled then let darkness take over
She’s not dead
