AVA:"I...I want to go home." Whispering, I tried to stand from the bed when I felt that stabbing pain and I winced."Take it easy, okay." Alpha Leo said and then firmly held my waist till I was able to stand on my feet. The Alpha of packs trembled at his feet yet he was treating me so nicely. I couldn't help but think that I was one lucky lady and that he was the one who rescued me.If I were with an ordinary Alpha, then, Damien would have found me by now."Do you want me to inform your Alpha? He could come take over from here." He asked, his eyes not leaving mine.I vehemently shook my head, "No."Damien mustn't know that I came here, despite that I was given the chance to experience my past life, I didn't want history to repeat itself.Damien was abusive even when I was loyal to a fault, who knows what he'd do to me this time if he found out that I spent nights with another Alpha? His evil mind would tell him that I was going after Alpha Leo because he was an Alpha King.Alpha Leo
AVA:"If you don't do your duties as a woman and give birth, you'll be worth no more than a slave in this pack and I'll make sure no one regards you,....""Please Damien, please spare me tonight....""Ahh!!" Screaming in pain as I held dearly to my head, I slowly opened my eyes, hoping I wasn't going nuts by the minute. The visions wouldn't stop and each time they came, I felt each flowing emotion that came with them.The vision I saw after that was where I lost my baby. Oh, my dear baby.I suddenly stopped walking. I didn't know where I was or even where I was headedEver since I left the Alpha King, I had been walking nonstop. I wanted to go as far from my kind as possible.I looked around like a deranged. Like I was scared of everybody else. Everyone who stepped on the sidewalk avoided my path and I kept on staggering till I got to a place where I saw mirrors.My hair was scattered and I looked worse than I thought. I had been tugging at my hair all through the time I was having t
AVA:Waking up with a headache for a start, I began looking around to know where exactly I was.The room I was in looked so familiar to the one I had been in before. It was just like Alpha Leo's abode. The only thing that differentiated the room I was in before and this one was that the curtains here were purple and decked with gold while the former was only plain."Wouldn't it be fair to call you a liar?" That deep baritone voice that always set me on edge said and I found myself quickly jerking up.I stared at him for a while as his figure towered over mine.His fierce eyes and his tightly thinned-out lips said it all. He was pretty much upset with me or angry still."I..." I was trying to make up an excuse but nothing was coming to mind. But then I reasoned that he wasn't the one who was supposed to be angry. I was supposed to be the angry one. It was my right to ask for an explanation. An explanation as to why he would do such a thing as bring me back here against my will."Why t
AVA:"You're right. I was trying to run away." I uttered loud enough for him to hear before lowering my head."Can you tell me why you were trying to run? I mean, your main challenge of being unable to bear a child has nothing to do with this right?"Tears stung my eyes and I quickly wiped them off with the back of my palm as I sniffled. In as much as I was opening up to Alpha Leo, I didn't want him to see this vulnerable part of me."If you're asking me to elaborate on my challenges. You must want me to mention how my torments were orchestrated and why I don't want to go back there again." With a look of determination flashing across my features, I raised my face and firmly fixed my gaze on him."Yes, that's right." He said and lazily leaned against the wall while crossing his hands across his chest."The scars you saw on that night of the party. They weren't war wounds, they were inflicted on me, and I..." I tried continuing but my voice got choked in my throat and I broke into tear
ALPHA KING LEO:Staring at Ava was one of the hardest things I was doing at the moment. I almost winced at the sight of her.Somehow, I knew her pain. I knew what it meant to be tormented and I knew what it meant to be hurt and live amongst the people that didn't love you.Right now, I feel like extinguishing the Blue Crest pack for her sake but even I can't do that without her consent.If she was unable to bear a child and at the same time, she was being abused, then it must have been one hell of a time for her. Her mental health must be on the line and that must have been the reason she keeps yelling and saying things that are out of line."On what condition, Alpha King?" She asked after I told her that she'd only be helped on one condition."I need you to keep our company a secret. We never met, got it?" I asked and she nodded in the affirmative.While she nodded, I could see the fear in her eyes. It was as though she was thinking I'd try to dissociate from her, hence her next que
AVA:I watched from behind the curtains, as Alpha Leo looked back, his eyes searching for me. When he didn't see me, he faced the front.I had gone behind Alpha Leo in fear after I saw that vision and that must be the reason he looked back or worse still, he feared that Damien would see us together.Luckily for us, I hid behind the plain curtains decorating the outer part of the chambers."So audacious of you to barge into this place without my permission. Care to give an explanation, Damien?""I...I got information that my wife has been here for some time. I came here to take her back with me." I heard Damien say as he took his stance. I watched as Damien bore into Alpha Leo with determined eyes.He wanted me to go home with him so he could continue tormenting me where he had stopped.Silence ensued for a while before Alpha Leo decided to speak."How dare you barge into my place with such flimsy excuse. If your wife wandered here, would I not have sent her to you the minute I set ey
AVA:The mere thought that Audrey, the reason for my past predicament was walking in front of me made me develop goosebumps. I even rubbed my arm."Wait. I don't think we should see him together. I'll go alone. You and I know how infuriating he could be." I said, trying to get her out of my way. I wanted her out of my sight so badly or I was going to throw a punch."Come on. We're best friends remember? And we should always have each other's back. Even if he gets angry, I'll be able to intercede with you and that way, he'll forget all about it." Audrey said with a smile and I had no option but to walk by her side as we headed towards Damien's chambers.Audrey halted in her steps and I was forced to arch my brows in confusion."You see, I didn't let any of the guards inform Damien of your return. He just came home from searching for you a few hours ago. You should go on without me and make sure to scream if anything goes wrong." Super! Wasn't it such a great privilege that Audrey knew
I had arranged for people to report the break-in of rogues. For one, I have lived with Damien for years and I knew just how much he hated and feared rogues. To him, the break-in of rogues into a pack's border meant that the pack was weak.In fact, I even heard him mocking a neighboring pack for their inability to ward off rogues.Rogues posed a challenge to his authority and that was exactly what I wanted to happen. The guards that had rushed into his room were bearing tales of how those rogues broke in on their mouths just as I had planned. Raising an alarm was on my list of weapons of distraction.I had done that so that in the meantime, Damien would be so disorganized and distracted that he wouldn't even think about me for the rest of the day. I had paid the rogues and gave them a means to have their entrance into this pack earlier.My gaze diverted to the door of my room and I frowned in concentration. Someone was knocking there. I got up and went to the door."Hello, there." I
