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
AUTHOR'S POV:Ava gracefully walked into her room, but the moment she closed the door behind her, she quickly rushed to where she had kept the camera, brought it out, and hugged it against her chest while closing her eyes.She didn't know why but each time she did that, she could feel Leo's presence with her.It was as if he were nudging her on to do whatever it was she wanted to do.Damien was going hunting but what about Audrey? Yes. What was Audrey's movement today?If Damiem and Audrey had planned to meet just like she had predicted, then there would be a big problem. Or it could be something Ava would see as the tip of the iceberg for her enemies.Ava hid back the camera, her heart beating in enthusiastic anticipation. She came out of her room, and looked left and right, just to be sure no other person was there before she called her personal handmaid, "Diana!" "Yes. Luna." She answered and bowed her head in respect."I have a gift for you," Ava said and watched as the young gi
AVA:"Perfect!" I screamed internally as I gave myself a mental high-five.Just like I had expected, Damien and Audrey were at the place I suspected them to be. My rough calculation just turned out right because Damien would soon leave Audrey to go find where Alpha Leo was doing his sport.While hiding, I took some nice pictures of them as they talked but I wasn't still satisfied. I had overheard Audrey telling a senior pack warrior to meet her around that area at the same time Damien told me he was going hunting. But it seemed like they had their plans canceled for the meantime because it was only two people who were present there and not three. I had wanted Damien to see Audrey for who she really was so that they would have a huge quarrel. A quarrel that will present me with ample opportunity to gather as much evidence as possible.Damien and Audrey were supposed to be on each other's body without waiting, but to my disappointment, they were having an argument."Why do they have to
AVA:I sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm myself after all that running I did a while ago.I had transformed into my wolf and ran down here just so Damien wouldn't be back home before me and start questioning my movements.I had already told him to forgive me and that I'd be a good wife.Still wondering what Leo had told me earlier?He said to frame Audrey up so that Damien wouldn't see her the same way. That was the time Leo mentioned that men with mistresses never want to see their mistress with other men.Right now, I think I have influenced Leo a little so that he now thinks a little like I do.Although I had thought of that idea about humiliating Audrey a few hours before Leo told me so, I still have great doubts within me. Audrey was a calculating bitch and I doubt if she'd be caught red-handed even if she was seen doing the very act. Audrey would likely find an excuse to extricate herself from the matter.But that wouldn't stop me from trying anyway. I would repay Audrey w
