Desired By My Mate novel Chapter 2

~Avery~

Anxiety embraced me as I stepped out of the car with Liam, I was finally in front of the Academy and I could not deny that the environment seemed quite good for my mental health, at least, I would be far away from toxicity and even given the chance to start a new life, oh, except, one little detail, sharing a room with a guy would be bad and tempting.-

The Lycan’s wife who seemed to be the headmistress stood outside with her daughter and some other students to welcome me with a wide grin, I had to mirror their action even though it was forced.

‘’Don’t think you will stay here for long, soon, you will be back into your cage and I will make sure of that.’’ Liam whispered and my smile instantly dropped.

It was heartbreaking to know that my blood brother did not want me to be happy, not even one bit, I would just have to behave myself.

‘’Welcome to Mason Academy!’’ The brunette girl with hazel eyes was the first to speak in an excited tone.

She extended her hand for a shake, ‘’I am Ashley, the Lycan’s daughter and your tour guide.’’

Her jovial nature just had to bring a smile to my face, I admired her freedom, if only my life could be like hers.

Back in the pack house, I was never given a reason to smile, they always made me shed tears.

I hesitated before taking her hand, I replied her in a low tone, ‘’I am Avery.’’

I dared not address myself as Alpha Grey’s daughter when Liam was around, he would just skin me alive, not even caring whether we were in public.

‘’This must be your….’’

She waited for me to complete it but I did not because of fear.

‘’I am Liam, Alpha Grey’s son.’’ He answered.

‘’Oh, I thought you both were related.’’ Her mother voiced out.

‘’No, we are not.’’ He replied with a bit of coldness in his tone.

His words broke my heart badly.

‘’Alright, your pack member is in safe hands, please, tell your father that.’’ She told him.

‘’Sure thing, ma.’’ He said.

‘’Ashley, please, show her to her room.’’ She ordered her daughter.

He instantly turned to leave, without saying goodbye.

Not that I was actually expecting him to but it was nice to imagine such with a last comfortable hug.

Other girls had big brothers that would lay their lives for them but all I got was a boy who wanted me, dead.

I followed Ashley into the hallway and I was amazed by what I saw, different supernatural breeds ranging from vampires, witches, dragons and the wolves, my gosh…
