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
AVA:I would have known the next actions of Damien but I already altered the past by sending in those rogues, so I didn't know what was on Damien's mind.Gnashing his teeth, he took a glance at his bleeding hand and then at me as though he was choosing between two hard decisions."You should come to help me tend my wounds instead of standing there and looking at me."I felt like throwing my mouth open and having the most of my time by laughing at his words but I kept mute. Damien didn't have to know I was in the past nor what I was in the past to do. Or even still, it wouldn't be wrong if he thought that everything was under normal circumstances.So I said, "Yes, your majesty. I already prepared your medications and had them kept in your chambers."Without saying a single word, Damien turned around and continued towards his chambers. I followed after him. If I wanted to make him not to be suspicious and at the same time, make my revenge plan sail smoothly, then I had to pretend like I
AVA:Did I faint? Oh, yes I did and that was because it was my only way of escaping having sex with the bastard. Nothing was an excuse with Damien and I knew that all too well in my past life.As I sat in my favorite drinking place, having a glass of grape wine, someone walked over to me, dressed like a waiter. Before I could confirm who he was, he shifted my glass cup and placed something there before replacing the cup in its original position, and without a single word, he left.I smiled. Alpha Leo had just communicated to me. We agreed on doing it this way earlier."Let me see," I mumbled, took a sip of my drink, and proceeded to unfold the paper."Let's meet up. That way, we could better plan out your revenge." These were the only words written in the letter and when I thought about the address of where he wanted us to meet, I realized it was not there.But when I looked down to the place where yours sincerely was supposed to be, I realized he wrote something else but in codes. Wh
AVA:"Revenge. Revenge. Revenge." The sound keeps ringing like a bell in my head and I am not able to stop it. Somehow that sound has become so palpable in my mind, that it has become an object I toss about in my mind. In fact, with how desperate I am for that revenge, I am afraid I might soul my plans before it would come to realization.My plans of revenge are so great, that I can't afford anything messing with it. I fucking can't wait to see the mighty Damien, coming down on his feet, tears in his eyes, his knees shaking as he looks at me as his savior. I want that time to come when I have his life on my hands and he would have no other option but to beg me to give it back.And what will I do? I'll squeeze my fist tight till I stuff out all the life in him. I would never let him get a second chance at..."Hey, darling. A penny for your thoughts." Damien said beside me and surprisingly enough, I wasn't startled.I was already so used to the sound of his voice."Oh, how have you b
AVA: "We shouldn't be fighting when we are looking for a baby, should we? I come in peace and you must take my word for it." Clara said and straightened her face, clothes, and appearance.I swallowed hard, trying hard to smile. Since she didn't want to fight, there was no need to instigate it even though she showed by all means that she was meaning to insult me."We've been fighting ever since. That's one thing for sure. If you're not here to fight, then what are you hear to do? Say what you want, Damien isn't here anymore." My fave turned mean as I took a deep breath.I had said my words through gritted teeth. With what I had gone through at the hands of Damien's mother, I couldn't say less.Little wonder they say that apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Clara was wicked and so was her son.My last words must have thrown away her facade for the next minute she turned to face me before pointing her fingers at me."You! You think you've got me right there, don't you? You've proved t
ALPHA KING LEO:I had set up a meeting with Ava and now was sitting at a table in a restaurant, patiently waiting for her.Ava. The mere mention of her name rings a bell in my head. It reminds me of the one woman I want to take responsibility for and I want to make sure that she was alright.I don't know exactly why I am helping her, but what I do know is that it gave me peace to be on her side."Leo." Ethan, my beta called and I whipped my head to the side to look at him. He had called me by my first name because I had told him not to title me when no one was around."How much longer are we going to wait for this lady? Is this even a date?" Ethan scoffed and I folded my arms across my chest while facing the other side.Lucky him, he was the only one I wasn't too grumpy with. If it were any other person who said what he had just said, they would have had their heads rolling on the floor by then.Ethan knew that whatever he did, I wasn't going to kill him, so sometimes he'd just use th
AVA:I was really in deep trouble. If it got to Damien that I was seen with Alpha Leo, then he'd rain down hellfire on me. He'd torment me till I regretted it.My lips quivered and my legs went wobbly like jelly as my heartbeat increased by a million pounds. I wasn't sure I could walk anymore.Was it all over? Have I been caught for real?"You. You should take care of how you drink around here. Someone take her home." Leo said when I was still trying to cover my face with my hair."Let's go. He's my chief butler. He's happened to serve us wine a couple of times, so he recognized us." Leo said and I was forced to take a look."But he sounded just like a woman. How come he has such a soft voice..." I was saying when Alpha Leo applied pressure to the point where he was holding my hand and quickened his steps and continued dragging me away.******"We're here," I stated, just to clear the heavy silence that clogged the atmosphere.Leo and I were seated on a rock overlooking the river.I s
AUTHOR'S POVPreparation was the key to success as they said and Ava was determined to abide by that rule as she ransacked her entire closure for what to wear to the meeting with Alpha Leo.Flipping her hair backward, she began arranging her things back to its rightful place. It wasn't as if she didn't have enough clothes for even that single occasion. The problem was that she wanted to look perfect and she wondered why.Usually, she'd go to these events with a heavy makeover and an indifferent look but right now, here she was, frustrated that she had been searching for the right clothes for ages."Why do I just want to look perfect? That dress can do but I...""Or could it be because you want to look perfect for him?" Leila, Ava's wolf whined within her and she wrinkled her nose in disgust.By "him" did Leila in any way mean Damien?"Thoughtless human. Come on, I meant Leo. You can remember what happened last night." Leila, Ava's wolf replied. She was even busy jollying around."Oh
