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
AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey ran as fast as she could, her breathing ragged and her face a bit flustered.When she came nearer to Damien, whom she was looking for, she sashayed on her way to him."Why do we have to meet here and now of all times? The treaty is tomorrow and I don't want to raise any suspicions."Damien asked in a hushed but forceful tone as his eyes desperately demanded an answer from Audrey.They were in the garden of his abode and he couldn't afford to leave any room for mistakes."Don't you blame me here 'cause I don't know why things are falling apart but I'm the only one to notice.""Things are falling apart. What do you mean by that?"Audrey sucked in a deep breath and heaved it out before returning, "It's about Ava.""Ava. What about her?" Damien asked even before Audrey could finish."You need to do something. I think Ava is suspecting that we are together. First I have to ask, when last did you touch your wife?""I can't remember. See, it's because I love you and I co
AVA:No one, not even the devil knoweth the intention of man...Perhaps, that saying was going to be manifested today.The cool evening breeze blew and I slightly parted my lips because my lungs begged for air.I was suffocating because of a certain presence around me.For the first time in months since my rebirth, Damiem was treating me right. He made me wear a new set of clothes and marching Luna shoes. I almost feel honored if not for the irony of the situation. Such a laugh. We even wore matching outfits.Right now, Damien has his hands encircled around my waist as he leads our way into the Blood Crescent pack. When we entered Alpha Leo's guest place, we were ushered into a decorated room.I'm sure Damien was well impressed when he whispered to me, "This is a nice pack." I whispered back, "Yes it is." He gave my hand a slight squeeze and a reassuring smile flashed across his face.Someone cleared their throat and I was forced to look up only to see Alpha Leo. Just as expected. W
AUTHOR'S POV:Ava had no idea what happened to her during the minutes she passed out but when she woke up, she couldn't see Damien or anyone by her side.She gasped and jolted up in a frenzy.Did the meeting with Alpha King Leo go on without her?Ava raised her hands to touch her face, her entire body now panicky.This was the reason she risked her life, the reason she took those bloody painkillers she had gotten from the human side. It was just to end the meeting and now it was going on without her?Ava slowly shook her head sideways. No.A tear was about to escape her eyelids when the door to the room she was in, creaked open and Damien walked in.As he menacingly walked toward Ava with a disapproving frown etched out on his, she found it hard to focus in his direction.Did he have it all figured out? Did he already fix the problem and was now back to show her the way to hell just like he used to?The Opioid plus one other herbal medicine she took was supposed to make her pass out f
