CHAPTER 29

~Avery~

For some reason, Alex had invited me to his party with the claim that he did not want me to be alone since Ashley and Tyler were invited but I did not completely believe it, he had never been nice to me, so, this act of kindness was suspicious and I did not feel at ease at all.

I just prayed that he would not humiliate in front of his guys, ever since the party started, I had been avoiding him, I made sure that I was far away from him, Ashley was busy with her dirty business, Tyler tried to keep me company but some random girl pulled him into a dance, that only happened because I assured him that I would be fine on my own.

I was currently seated by the side of the pool, admiring how peaceful the waters were, if only my life could be like that, I would be really grateful.

The only good thing about the situation was that Alison was not around since it was an all wolf party, so, I had a bit of my freedom, that girl had made me go through hell from giving me a bad hair day to turning half of my clothes to rags, I could not report to the principal because Alex threatened me not to.

His pack house was really huge and both the interior and exterior designs were amazing, I was very sure that his pack members would be proud of their home, even, the omega’s rooms were not bad at all, I could not deny the fact that the Lycan was a nice man even though, he always a strict look on his face, it made sense why he was loved by many werewolves, we almost got lost when we were touring round and the Alpha’s room was the biggest of them all, I was very sure that he would move out anytime soon and I could not wait for that to happen.

I wanted to swim badly but I knew better to choose life, if only my mate was not a monster, maybe, he would have taught me how to swim.

I tried not to think about him but he was all up in my head, every single night, my dreams were about him treating me nicely and acting like a Prince Charming that I know he would never be.

‘’Enter the pool.’’ An unknown voice ordered me.

It was not my wolf and when I looked around, I could not find anybody, so, I chose to ignore it.

‘’Go into the water and swim.’’

This time, the order came with a full force that I could not resist like I was being mind controlled or something and the voice was quite familiar.

I slowly dipped my legs into the water and it was really cold but I could not stop my action, I got into the pool and I was sinking slowly.

‘’Avery! Wake up.’’ My wolf screamed at me.

‘’DROWN!!!’’ The voice ordered.

I was confused on who to listen to but the voice was way stronger than my wolf.

‘’Avery! Stop it right now.’’ My wolf added.

I suddenly went back to normal and it was dawned on me that I was close to the ground of the pool, I struggled to swim upwards but to no avail.

I should have registered for swimming classes when I had the chance but I was not a mermaid, so, I did not see the need to.

This was not how I wanted to die, I had a lot of things to achieve and this was not going to be my end, the painful part was that it would take a long time before they would notice my absence, not to talk of finding my body.

At least, Alex and Liam would be happy and maybe, my dad would feel guilty.

I could not even scream for help because I was under water.

I could not hold my breath any longer and I was slowly loosing to death as my eyes were closing.

I eventually blacked out.

* * * * *

I felt a pair of lips touch mine as it blew air into my mouth, my eyes opened to find him in front of me, they widened in shock and I gasped for air.

I found myself laying on the ground and that was when I realized that he had saved my life, I did not want to believe that it was worry that was written all over his face, he did not care but yet, he did not let me die.

He would have been the happiest, why did he try to restrict his own happiness?

I was a bit scared to ask him that, I did not want to seem ungrateful, neither did I wanted him to flare up.

‘’Thank you.’’ I uttered an appreciation.

His facial expression suddenly changed to that of anger and I was sort of expecting it.

‘’You are such an attention freak.’’ He stated with a deadly glare that had the power to kill me since he was a wizard.

I furrowed my brows at him in confusion, ‘’I do not understand.’’

He perked his right brow at me and scoffed, ‘’Oh really? Now, you are going to pretend dumb.’’

Before I was given a chance to speak, he beat me to it, ‘’Why did you get into the pool when you knew that you could not swim? No other reason than wanting my attention, you knew fully well that I would feel it whenever you are in danger, so, you took advantage of that.’’

He was accusing me meanwhile it was his girlfriend that tried to kill me.

‘’No, that was not what happened. I would never put my life at risk, just to get your attention, I am not that crazy.’’ I defended myself.

‘’Spare me that fucking bullshit, I saw you! Do not try to lie to me! Gosh, you make me really sick, Avery!’’ He yelled at me and I flinched.

‘’Why can’t you believe me?’’ I questioned him with teary eyes.

‘’Give me an explanation for the stunt that you pulled or else, I will just keep assuming.’’ He stated, calmly.

I hesitated before answering him but I was quick with that before he would yell at me again.

‘’It was Alison.’’ I replied, shortly.

He rolled his eyes and stood up to leave, ‘’You cannot just stop with the lies.’’

I instantly stood up and followed him with my wet clothes still on, ‘’I am not lying to you, she mind controlled me.’’

‘’Indeed. Someone that is not even here.’’ He countered.

‘’She is a witch, have you forgotten?’’ I tried to remind him.

‘’And so? What exactly are you trying to say that she would want to kill you?! She could do every other thing but not taking someone’s life.’’ He argued.

It was funny how he could believe her but not me.

‘’Just for once believe me!’’ I pleaded.

‘’Enough!’’ He yelled at me.

‘’Enough of this! You are fucking crazy, go upstairs to my room and stay till the party is over before you attempt suicide again. If you are tired of your life then do not kill yourself in this pack house, the last thing that I want is people hearing that someone died on the first day. I know very well that you would not leave me alone after that, he would make sure to haunt me, so, that nobody would stay here but I would lock your soul.’’ He stated.

‘’Also, do not have any butterflies in your stomach because I saved you, I did not want any crazy ghost story to come up.’’ He added before walking out, leaving me dumbfounded.

He would never genuinely care for me.
