My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret)

Avery’s pov

The air around us goes from warm to freezing cold. Her wild terrified eyes made my heart drop in my gut and I move to stand before her, taking her shaky hands in my own. Mom,” I try to tug her out of her mind, her eyes so lost.

Mom,” I called out again, more firm and urgent, tugging her lightly. She is still imprisoned in her mind. “Mom!” I tug her harder and this time I see her soul is pulled from the cages of her mind.

But the terror, the terror remains. ” Who?” I whisper. ” Who is coming?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

It’s not her who responds but Xadeon. “The hunters.”

We all turn to him, spotting the grim expression on his face. Mom steps out of my hold and shows Xadeon the number on the screen. “They called me. Told me to bring my daughter in. They know what I was before-

What you were before?” I cut in confused. Her eyes skate over to me then Xade. She looks away embarrassed. “I was born and raised a hunter.”

Her words made me stumble back and gasp. “What!?” I looked around and saw that it was only me and Xadeon who were surprised. I looked at Xade, my eyes narrowing in suspicion. ” You knew?”

Xade eyes swim with shame and he reaches for me, I move out before he can grasp me. “I only found out yesterday when I went to her to ask her permission for your hand.”

My anger flares with a mix of betrayal. He notices and looks saddened. ” It was her choice to reveal it to you when she was willing Avery.”

And I know he was right, but I felt betrayed still. ” Avery I left that life a long time ago when I had you,” Mom pleaded as she moves closer to me. “I may have been born a hunter and raised as one, but I have never harmed any wolf,”

I look at her, feeling betrayed for being lied to for years. Would she have ever told me about knowing about wolves and her being raised a hunter if I wasn’t in trouble right now?

“You knew about werewolves and never told me,” I narrowed my eyes in disappointment.

“I tried to protect you from that life Avery,” she said softly. “I wanted you to be raised normal. I came here wanting a new start, however, I also knew that one day you’d know about all of this.”

Her words crash over me, the lies weighing down. ” You should have told me,” I whisper shakily. “I deserved to know.”

Her gaze drops to the floor. ” You did,” she agreed and I shook my head, my eyes teary. “I need a breather,” I utter, moving past her and outside. She doesn’t try to stop me and I am grateful she doesn’t.

As soon as I was out, I took in a sharp inhale. The rain had stopped and the scent of the outdoors was comforting. I walk further onto the grass and even remove my shoes so I can bury my toes in the wet mud.

“You should not be out alone,”

I turn back and see Xade approaching. I look away. “Why? Because I am a delicate flower?” I asked sarcastically.

Avery,” his voice is low and pleading. I whip and glared at his face. You should have told me. I don’t care if it was her secret to say. We are in this together Xade, we can’t afford to keep things like this away from each other.”

Xade’s eyes soften. ” You’re right,” he admits and reaches for me, this time I let him pull me in his arms. He places his finger under my chin and flicks it up so I can crane my neck to look at him. “I’m sorry,” he apologizes.

No more secrets,” I said softly and he nods, brushing the tips of our noses. “No more secrets,” he agrees.

Xade! Avery!” Xaden yells from the house, his voice sounding panicked. “Get here now!”
