His Deplorable Mate by Palos Verdes (desktop ebook reader TXT) 📖

I heard multiple footsteps coming my way, but my eyes were welded to them. I was stuck on them, unable to move. Suddenly, a scene tinkered before my eyes. 

FLASHBACK:

Little Ava winced as she moved, today her cousin, Avery, arraigned her for stealing her doll. Ava tried telling them that she didn't steal it and that Avery had given it to her friend, but her Uncle and Aunt didn't hearken to her and started beating her. They beat her until she couldn't change positions. 

After beating her, they left her on the ground. Ava whimpered and dragged her little self to her room as if you can call that murky and arid place one. Ava went to the washroom and rinsed her wounds. She looked up at her cloth-covered mirror, every time she looked in the mirror she would see a monster, with purple and blue scabs. The little innocent thing couldn't understand that she was seeing herself. Thinking of it as a monster, she covered it with a tablecloth. 

After coming out, she went to the nearest park, that's the only place she can go, as it was closest to her living perdition. She sat on her usual bench, gazing at the sky, eyes full of agony and questions. She hiccuped but swallowed the cry, stemming from pain in her throat. She will not cry, she's strong. 

She felt wetness on her feet, looking down she saw a small puppy, licking her feet. She giggled and took the bundle of furs in her lap. For the next few hours, she played with him, resulting in her forgetting about the dinner. But did someone gives a fuck about her NO? And for the first time, she was gratified for that. 

From that day, Ava would come and play with him daily. Periodically, she would ransack some cookies for him. One day, Avery saw her and informed her parents. That day was hell for Ava. 

" So, you are giving my cookies to this ugly dog,"? Her Aunt screamed at her. 

Ava trashed in her Uncle's arms, trying to break free. She shook her head, tears raining from her eyes. She looked at them, pleadingly but they only scoffed. 

"Yes mama, I saw her," Avery said, smirking. 

"Well, I want my cookies back. Do you know slut, how will I get my cookies back,"? She asked Ava and Ava shook her head. 

"Like this," She said and with that threw the puppy to the pond, full of hungry alligators.

FLASHBACK OVER:

Strong arms wrapped around me, sparks prancing on my skin. I opened my blubbering eyes and saw pack members gathered around me, murmuring. 

I looked at the person holding me and saw Alpha Xavier, sitting with me on the ground, arms tightly wrapped around me. I tried looking at the puppies but he put his hand on my neck and put my face in his neck. I hugged him tightly and cried my eyes out. I heard him speaking to someone and then I was carried inside the bridal style. Tightening my hold on him, I nuzzled closer to him. For years, I have yearned for this day, for his little affection and love. Never thought I would get it like this. 

                     --------------------------------

 It's been a week since that incident, everyone forgot about that but I couldn't. How could I? I know Alpha Xavier has warned them, but, I had heard girls talking how my name was written on the fur babies and maybe I had killed them myself. I know many people in this pack don't like me especially, girls. They always throws daggers at me, badmouths me thinking I'm taking Alpha Xavier. But little did they don't know I'm nothing but a broken doll. First the painful unspoken rejection, then Sapphire, and now them, every day is a nightmare, a big crusade for me. I would wake up with tears in my eyes, and sleep sobbing into my pillow. 

The sound of knocking brought me out of my trance. Who can be at this hour? Slowly getting down from the bed, I went towards the door. 

Opening it, I saw no one outside. Slowly shutting the door behind me, I stepped outside. It was midnight, and everyone was fast asleep. The whole pack house was deserted. 

I was walking, when I heard shuffling behind me. My heart started thumping. Just as I was about to look back, a black cloth was draped over my head. 

                         ---------------------------

Oh my! What the hell happened? What you guys think, who can kill the fur babies? 

What's going to happen with Ava?
