AVA:Surprisingly, I was able to break the rope which was used in tying me, merely because I felt like it should be torn from my body.Now, everyone believed me. Queen rushed to my side with a great smile on her lips. "Goodness gracious, you have powers we don't know about too? If you aren't aware of your powers until now, then it means that you need someone to teach you how to control your powers and know the capabilities inside of you.""Exactly," Billie clapped and came beside me."I'm gonna make you a pillar of salt if you get too close." I joked. Billie had a mock-shock expression on her face before she burst out laughing.Leo came around me and hugged me.Queen glared at him but turned to smile widely at me."Can I speak with your wife for a minute?"Leo shook his head in the negative, "No,"Queen grinned at him as if passing a message through her eyes. "She will always be your wife. She isn't even running away."When I thought they might be going back and forth about who was t
AVA:I wondered if Leo would understand what I meant by the 'Salu'ah' if I told him about it.Adding to the fact that I wasn't sure of what I was about to say yet, I decided not to mention anything about it. I could simply be overthinking at this point.Weeks had passed and I grew weaker as the days went by. Not to mention that I gained lots of weight and I became so picky when it came to my choice of food.I stood in front of the mirror, still observing myself and how much I had gained weight when I began to remember what had happened in the last few weeks.Queen fell sick during those few weeks and to make matters worse, all she said about the Salu'ah was true and gradually coming to pass. I had gone to the fields alone, this time, because I wanted to test out what was happening to me and the truthfulness of what Queen had told me.I had turned into my wolf form and I was surprised by what I saw. Slowly but majestically, like most wolves, my wolf, freed itself, dancing in the light
AVA:I lay on my back, the smell of drugs and disinfectant filling my nostrils. "Where am I? What am I doing here?" I asked myself as I tried to raise my aching back."Please take it easy." Leo helped me lay back gently on my back. "You fainted some hours ago. I was so worried about you." He told me.I was about to ask what was wrong with me, what happened and why I was there but he had already answered me.A doctor came into the room with a nurse following closely behind him. A stethoscope hung around his neck and he adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.He came close to me and after checking my temperature and using his stethoscope to check my breathing, he took a few steps back from me."We will run her a test to ascertain what's wrong. The result of the test will be out soon."The doctor said while the nurse simply nodded."Thanks," Leo said and shook hands with the doctor who slightly bowed on recognizing Leo.After a while, the doctor invited us into his office and we sat
AUTHOR'S POV:The arrival of Ethan broke the uncomfortable silence and tension that followed Leonard's words."Alpha. I have vital information." Ethan said, looking Leonard in the eyes.Leonard began walking away, following Ethan out of the place, but he wouldn't stop turning his neck and glaring at Damien, as though he was saying, "Keep off my mate."Damien turned to face Ava, who stood, almost flustered as she began talking to Billie once she noticed that Damien was going to talk to her.Something darkened in Damien's gaze and he walked up to Ava who was trying to avoid him, by walking away with Billie."Ava, can I talk to you for a moment?" His cracked voice betrayed his emotions even though he tried hard to conceal the fact that he was not hurt.Leonard's words, that Ava was pregnant were so heavy on his heart -- so heavy that he found it hard to ask the dreaded question he yearned to ask.His eyes twitched, his fingers shook, his lips trembled and his heart skipped a million beat
AVA:I had never seen Leo this angry in my entire life. He charged toward Damien, and before I could say, Jack, he rushed him.Using the opportunity when Damien was a little distracted by Leo, I wriggled out of his hold and fled to a corner.I had never seen Leo fight in his wolf form, especially, if the people he was trying to fight were in their human form. But today, Leo didn't care, and neither did he mind. He simply let his wolf take over himA grey wolf surfaced and I watched as his fur covered everywhere.By the time Damien could transform into his wolf form, he had already been severely wounded.I didn't pity Damien this time, because, if Leo hadn't come to my rescue, he would have killed me with mercy. How ruthless!Watching the fight, I felt like applauding Leo because it didn't only feel like they were fighting, it seemed as though Leo was beating Damien to a pulp.I smiled in satisfaction, feeling like rewarding Leo with a passionate night or a nice meal.Leo returned to h
AUTHOR'S POV:A new destiny marked the beginning of a new life for everyone. Ava was propelled into the future to fulfill a purpose given to her by the Moon Goddess."What's going on, how are we...like this?"Ava asked as she walked along the streets of New York. One thing was noteworthy.It was the fact that everything had changed. She could smell civilization in the air. Ava was the only person dressing in garments. The fashion trend had changed. Women now wore more classy dresses with a bit of their skin exposed. This wasn't how she had thought it would be kike in her former world.Ava felt thirsty, and so she sought a way to satisfy her thirst. But then she looked around her and there was no local means to do that. It was a hustling and bustling city and everyone seemed to be moving around for their movement."Hey, young lady, are you perhaps, lost?" An old woman about to cross the road stopped beside Ava and asked.The old lady laughed and although Ava didn't know why she laughed
AUTHOR'S POV"Hey, lady! Why don't you stop standing there like a spy and come play with us," One of the feral-looking men beckoned on Ava.Ava moved reluctantly, while looking backwards and behind her shoulder as she went towards the first person who had beckoned to her. The familiar-looking man had disappeared into thin air.Many men were asking her to come to their table and play these table games with them. Thanks, goodness she had learned how to read in her last life. At the table where she was headed, they were playing the Baccarat."Come play Baccarat with us. Hope you've got some coins." The man had pronounced it as 'bah’-ca-rah'.Ava shook my head in the negative, "No, I haven't got any,""Baccarat is one of the easiest games to learn and offers some of the best odds in the casino. The “player” and the “banker” each receive two cards with the object being to get a point total closest to 9. Just remember face cards and tens have no value. That way, if you lose, you'd have to r
AUTHOR'S POV:Ava looked around the room. It was now clear that in this place, werewolves and humans coexisted. Unlike the then world where humans had their lives and activities separated from the werewolves.Ava wondered if any other creatures existed. As for now, there were none that she had seen."I'll let you go on one condition," Ava squeezed harder on his neck.The man groaned in response, "What fucking condition?""The condition is that you'll have to do as I say." Ava was resolute with her words.The man frowned as he tried to shake his head which was already held in place. "You...you can't possibly make me do what you want, you..." He wanted to keep blabbing but Ava squeezed his neck harder, making it harder for him to speak.She then released him a little to enable him to go to breathe, and that was when he coughed, "Alight. Okay, okay, take it easy, I'll do as you say."Without saying any more words, Ava kicked the man and almost laughed as he fell face flat on the floor.W
