AVA:"What confession?" I asked my mother-in-law, Queen."Well, it's something I've ever wanted to tell you. Your life could change after hearing this but as I am getting old, I can't keep quiet about it until I die.""No, don't say that. You're not going anywhere yet. We are going to take care of you to the best of our abilities." I went to hold her hand as I looked up at her face. She had a sad expression masking her face which got me worried."What I'm about to say to you is what makes me sad the most when I think about how I treated you when you first came into Leo's life. If only I had known..." Queen soon began tearing up, and soon, she was wiping her tears with the back of her palm."It's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now, I'll understand if...""No, I've taken so long to tell you this and I'm not gonna take more time 'cause I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow," Queen said, interrupting me.Silence ensued thereafter, I gave her a handkerchief and she wiped
AVA:"...You can see? It is normal for you to dream but to see what's going to happen in the future, I think that's crazy," Leo commented while glancing at me.I had told him that I was gifted and now it wasn't only me but his Mom."Your Dad knew about my gift but he never took it seriously. I had warned him not to go to war then but he didn't listen to me. Everything you heard me tell Ava is true." She was done explaining.Queen stood up and went out of the kitchen.I raised a brow at Leo and he understood me immediately."Well, she doesn't stay in a place when she's sad. I guess I brought back old memories when I questioned her gift."*****Ever since the day after Queen told me that the Moon Goddess was gonna speak to me, I have never been alone by myself for any reason whatsoever.I didn't want anything or any being speaking to me and giving me a command on what to do.I barely even went out. I had heard so many stories about some specially gifted people seeing the Moon Goddess. A
AVA:The best revenge, they say was to get so rich, successful, and powerful, show the enemy what they lost before crushing them to pieces.I had grown so rich over the years that I spent in the North. Together, Leo and I had bought the East with the money we made together.We owned the plant and oil mills, almost everything from A-Z in the North belonged to us. Not to talk of Blood Crescent Pack.Due to how often Leo solved the problems of other packs, whenever they regained their bearing, they would usually reward Leo with acres of land that also belonged to us.We had so much, I'm sure Leo and I have lost count of the properties and plantations we owned. The taxes paid by the people were the least because we left that to the state.I didn't want this but Leo always made sure I dropped my seal on any property he bought, meaning it also belonged to me. I could lay claims on them.This is how powerful I've become and I can't wait to crush Damien today. I heard he was coming with Audre
A pin-drop silence ensued. No one moved or talked.This was such a small world. The mighty Damien had fallen. Perhaps, Damien didn't think that in his entire lifetime, he'd be so hungry that he would gobble up the food I threw at him.The mighty had indeed fallen from grace to grass. Damien was once a mighty Alpha, yet he had been humiliated and reduced to nothing but a miserly beggar because he messed with the wrong person.I couldn't have asked for any greater revenge.I hastily walked up to their table and grabbed an already poured-out cup of juice. I raised my hand above his head and emptied the content on Damien.Damien was too shocked to utter a word."Why don't you drink some more, eat some more," I said, the memories of all he made me go through flashing through my mind in split seconds."That's my husband you're talking to that way. Ava, you're not allowed to talk to an Alpha that way." Audrey who must have quickly recovered from the shock of seeing me, said, looking to Leo f
AVA:"You think I'm gonna change my mind just because you made a pun? No, I'm gonna kill you both myself. That way, my thirst for revenge would be fully satisfied." My eyes shone with tears as I reached behind my back and unsheathed my sword."Guards, dress their bodies for execution," I commanded and men began to rush into the place.They seized Damien who gritted his teeth and Audrey who was helplessly crying.I wonder why they feared to die so much but they would kill other people without mercy.I laughed hysterically, my whole body quaking as though I was possessed by demons.I was indeed possessed with revenge. This was what I wanted so badly, I had been thirsty for revenge since my past life and the last three years in the present one.Damien and Audrey deserved this. One of the reasons I laughed was because of the words 'dress their bodies for execution' as used by me.It meant that Damien and Audrey were going to be tortured severely before I would finally kill them."You did
AVA:"I'm sorry if this was not what you expected from me, but I feel that time and experience have taught me that forgiving someone and letting go serves as the greatest form of revenge and self-care," I said to Leo once we were inside the room.We were just getting out of the shower. Leo had the towel draped around his waist. While I was already done with drying myself and trying to dry my hair.After I forgave Damien, Leo hadn't said a word about it to me. I was getting worried by the day. I wanted to know how he felt and what he thought about my actions. It all mattered to me."It's fine. Everything that has happened is all for the best. I'm only worried because I think they might use your kindness against you. And I only thought you should protect yourself from harm. They didn't look truly repentant."I went closer to Leo and laid my head on his chest."That's why I always have you by my side. You are my protector. You'll take care of me.""...huh? But sweetie, what if I want to
AUTHOR'S POV:"How come you have this special ability and you didn't care to make a fortune out of it?" Ava asked as she watched Queen collect the materials that were needed for the making of wolfsbane potion."This special ability was handed down to me by my mother. It's something generational, I was supposed to teach my daughter too but I had only sons.""Oh,""There are a few rules to a potent wolfsbane. These rules must be abided by or the wolfsbane will be impotent. It has to be applied to the people who would be needing it, only by magic. With what you've explained to me, wolfsbane with a touch of magic, and they'd be fine.""Thank you so much for this.""There's no need to thank me," Queen replied while Ava watched as events unfolded before her."Okay. Let's add a wolfsbane leaves,Juice of 2 Mandrake leaves, 3 drops of dragon blood,1 powdered moonstone, 2 drops of Syrup of Hellebore, 3 Murt lap tentacles, Juice of 7 Sopophorous Bean, and finally, 1 Occamy egg, and we are done.
AVA:Handing the covered potion I was holding to Damien, I sighed inwardly.Now that Damien and I had put our differences aside, we had solved a problem for the people of Blue Crest pack.War was always the reason for bloodshed and the innocent people to suffer."Thank you so much for your help. I'm grateful. I must tell you this before I leave. I must tell you that I regret all my actions towards you. If only I had time to turn back the hands of time, I would treat you right. I'm sorry once again, and I'm sure Audrey is too."Not believing a single word he said because I was smarter than he thought, I sighed inwardly again. It was always with these apologies that they never meant."Audrey, there's one more thing I would like to tell you," I said and she turned her neck in my direction."I didn't burn your house and kill your parents like you think. Ander killed them and burned your house too. I think he has a thing against you." It wouldn't be fair if I didn't release this dreaded se
