ALPHA KING LEO:Sitting at my table and looking over some documents, the scene of the first day I met Ava played in my mind and I smiled.She was in her pool of blood when I saved her and took her home. I could remember how confused her eyes looked when she stared up at me like I was her only savior.Then I frowned. I had stopped writing on those papers a long time ago. I had been thinking about her all the while and it felt like I couldn't do anything else.For some reason, I could remember her a million times. I saw her in the daily newspapers brought in from the human world, I saw her when I ransacked my closet for a cloth to wear. I saw her when any female stood in front of me.Somehow, it was as though I was beginning to go crazy because I couldn't seem to get her off my mind."Alpha, the Dagger War pack is asking for the treaty. They need it to begin immediate operation." Ethan called in and I jerked up while placing my hand on my head and rubbing it slowly.Anyone who saw me wo
AVA:Stopping right in front of my cell was Damien. I watched him take his last stride before standing in front of me."My Alpha. Damien. Please, let me go." My voice cracked as I spoke.I cocked my head to the side, my eyes pleading with him.He remained silent and continued staring at me, causing me to wonder what could be on his mind."Why would you do this to me huh? Damien, aren't you seeing that I'm suffering? I'm really suffering, Damien, please let me go." I said, using the last bit of strength in me. I hadn't eaten in three days and it was starting to take a toll on me.Why couldn't Damien see through my pain? Why did he have no remorse at all?Immediately after I spoke, he drew out a leather whip from behind him and then a bunch of keys.I gasped and began moving back in fear. I didn't know I feared pain this much after what I had gone through in the past. Perhaps, the past was really behind me."I'm here to make you repent, Ava. Think of it as my way of doing my best for yo
ALPHA KING LEO:I transformed back into my human form due to the fact that I was restless both inside and out.Worry lines formed on my forehead as I stared in the direction of the Blue Crest pack.I had sent my usual signals to Ava but got no response from her. This was unlike her. She never delayed if I told her that we should meet.The first messenger I had sent reported that Ava wasn't within reach. For the past three days, she hadn't left her home. No, not to the market, not to bathe, not even to the court where she worked as Luna.That, I had found very suspicious because Ava wouldn't be okay and not go to these places. She would never be okay and not go to bathe.I had decided to send another messenger and that was exactly what I did. But now, he is yet to return to me.I had transformed into my wolf form earlier because it was getting close to daybreak and I needed to leave but then, not seeing Ava for three days straight was making me feel anxious and terrible.For the first
AVA:I whimpered and characteristically climbed the wall. I only did that just to be free from this physical pain.Then, all of a sudden, I fell and went limp. I had been holding out all the while he lashed out at me. I had been trying to run but it seemed as though the four walls of the cell were simply too small for us.This was the situation, he was on the chase and I was on the run. He got me each time he raised the whip but now I had fallen on the floor and I didn't care anymore. The whip could now have contact with my body at a steady frequency.I shut my eyes the moment the whip landed on me and tore my skin. My lips were already burst from constantly biting on them.I couldn't touch any part of my body, each part had been covered in blood.When he raised the whip in a second, I opened my eyes, my gaze followed Damien's hand and then landed on the whip.Oh, how my precious blood dripped from it.I whimpered, cried, and groaned but the beastly Damien didn't bother. My blood min
ALPHA KING LEO:"They won't get away from this, I promise," I said trying to reassure Ava who had just opened her eyes.With this much violence used on her, it was a miracle that she survived it."Leo...please...leave." Ava struggled to speak while spitting up blood. Her eyes begged me to do what she had just said and I felt worse.How did she expect me to leave her in this situation? I wasn't a coward and I was not afraid of Damien either."Shush, Ava. You can't push me away in a time like this. I will always be there for you. I know it's my duty to protect you, only this time I came a bit late."I said and her lips spread a tiny bit. Her smile was almost unnoticeable.Ava fluttered her lashes twice before they finally relaxed. "Please leave, Damien's going to come for you."I didn't bother shaking her body after she said that because I was pained too. I was pained because I was more powerful than Damien, yet I couldn't do anything.I was the Alpha King and yet, I was running away f
AVA:I couldn't believe and so I didn't reciprocate his kiss. I couldn't believe it but Alpha King Leo had just kissed me.I can't say that I wasn't an attractive she-wolf but it was a whole different thing with Leo. I kept on staring at him in shock and the moment he opened those beautiful eyes of his, I couldn't hold it anymore.I raised my hands to his shoulders and stood on my toes to kiss him back. We kissed for some minutes that lasted long enough to leave us in our world of fantasy. Without warning, Leo lowered his head and peppered kisses on my neck and then, my neckline.In seconds, he was getting rid of my clothes. I kept tugging at his hair and kissing him back. It was like a moment of passion we both wanted to share. He undressed like a maniac who had been starved of affection and when he got to my undergarments, he gently pushed me onto the bed.His hands cupped my bust as he longingly looked at them."They look so pretty." He said breathlessly and continued with his ac
AVA:I lay on my back on the bed, silently looking up at the ceiling because a lot was running through my mind.One thing that wouldn't leave my mind was Leo's words during the time we had dinner. No matter how hard I tried to shake it off my head, it kept coming back.Last night...I ate the steak and vegetables placed before me in grave silence, momentarily taking a sip of red wine.I avoided Leo's gaze, not because of any other thing but because of the awkward position we had put ourselves in after what happened earlier.Remind me to say that love makes everything seem messy.As I ate, I knew Leo watched intently because I had seen him through the corner of my eyes but then, I didn't bother to throw him a glance because that would make everything seem all the more awkward.I was about to reach out for my glass of wine when I felt a warm palm cover mine. It felt so warm that I wanted us to be like that forever but then, I needed to keep my act up."Ava, I need you to listen to me, p
AVA:Last night was a happy one or at least, it had a happy ending with me laughing my ass out with Leo. I didn't know Leo had a fantastic personality behind that deadly face.Right now, I am in my room in Blue Crest pack, taking pictures and having fun with my camera. I can remember the way Leo guided my hands to take pictures from specific angles. He even mentioned that photography was an occupation to some people in the human world and he didn't fail to tell me how taking a picture from a nice angle could make the whole difference.But the minute someone knocked on my door, my face turned solemn, and I quickly turned, hiding the camera behind my back.I moved back a bit and placed the camera on the bed while covering it with bed clothing. The knock just now, had reminded me of the fact that I was now back to business and real life.I frowned. "Come in." "The Alpha wishes to see you in his chambers." A maid bowed before and after conveying her message."You may leave. I'll be there
