Aamon cocks his head to the side, his eyes turning onyx and I growl at him. Though I am shocked once again when his little tricks don't work on my mate, she doesn't react at all to him, just steps closer to me away from him.

"Try your little tricks of seduction again and I will smack you one"

"Settle. I am happily married though I think you are right she is like Lily, my tricks never worked on her either,” he says.

My mate stares at me curiously. I don't have time to explain to her what he is nor do I care to.

We followed him out the back, Avery was sitting at her table, a cup of tea in her hand.

"Ryker I hear your sister had a little girl, such wonderful news though I knew she would,” Avery says. I smile at her. I never should have doubted her abilities.

"And you have brought me your new mate,” she says motioning with her hand to sit across from her. I push my mate towards the chair forcing her to sit.

Avery leans back her fiery Auburn hair flowing down her back and across her shoulders, her green eyes sparkling like emeralds as she watched my mate.

"Interesting indeed,” she says.

"So I am right she is like Lily,” Aamon asks her. Avery shakes her hand. "Kind of, I can't read her future either but I may be able to see her past a little"

My mate stares at her like Avery is some sort of experiment.

"Come here child,” she says to my mate but she doesn't budge just stares at me and I could smell her fear seeping out of her pores.

"Go to her now,” I tell her but she shakes her head.

"Now,” I tell her and she trembles as my Alpha Aura washes over her before all but stumbling over her feet and going to Avery. Aamon grips her arm, steadying her before placing her on the ground in front of Avery who turns her seat.

"Please, I didn't do anything," my mate says to me. Her eyes filled with tears. She thought we were trying to hurt her.

"Hush child I mean you no harm,” Avery says to her before gripping the sides of her head in her hands. Her hands glow gold then green as she uses her magic, seconds pass.

Avery makes a choked noise before I see her bottom lip tremble a single tear rolling down her cheek. Her eyes glow brighter and her lips part before blood dribbles down her nose.

"That's enough Avery,” Aamon says, grabbing her arm.

"No I must see, I need to know"

"Avery enough,” Aamon says gripping her face which had turned pale almost grey as she strained to see whatever it was in my mate's head.

Aamon rips her to her feet, "I said enough it's not worth your life" he snaps. Avery sways leaning into him before he places her back in her seat.

"Come here,” I tell my mate who moves away from Avery sitting at my feet.

"You okay Ava?" I ask, her eyes still trained on my mate.

Avery presses her lips in a line, her bottom one she pulls between her teeth.

"No one should ever live like that, no one should only ever see darkness"

Aamon looks at her worriedly.

"Ava my love you should rest,” Aamon tells her. I have to agree with him, she is making no sense.

"No, I don't need to rest, Aamon,” Aamon throws his hands up walking over to lean on the doorframe. "Stubborn ass woman"

"Mind your tongue or you will lose it" she warns him. Her eyes are not leaving my mate.

"You, my child know pain like no other I have witnessed, to endure that and survive I am surprised you're not insane, how did you do it?" She asks my mate, making me look down at her. She was watching Avery back curiously.
