AVA:I yawned tiredly, got out of bed, and headed straight for the living room. I spread my arms in the air, silently praying in my heart that my day would be good, just like yesterday.I trotted into the living room, my cheeks red and a wide smile on my face. I could still remember how I kissed him on my own.I was still in my daydream when all of a sudden, I halted in my steps and my mouth fell open in amazement.I had expected Audrey to be all over Damien from the moment she packed her things into the house but I hadn't expected it to be so soon."What's going on here?" I asked, glaring in their direction as though I was interested in whatever it was they were doing.Even if they were shameless, they shouldn't show off their evil affection in front of me. There needed to be a little dignity.They turned to look at me and the displeased look on Audrey's face when her eyes landed one didn't escape me.Damien had his hand draped around Audrey's shoulders. They had their backs turned t
AVA: It has been weeks since that incident where I had almost walked in on Leo telling another lady to hug him, and since then, we haven't communicated, even once.He had not bothered to send me any messages and If I was right, then, he was probably busy with the new lady right now and didn't bother to write me.I brought out my ink from under my bedding and then slipped out a sheet. On it, I scribbled some words and when I was done writing to my heart's content, I kept the ink and brush aside and then went ahead to fold my papers.I blew a whistle and a young man walked up to my window in a haste. The young man was Alpha Leo's servant who usually dispatched my message but he hadn't been useful in a while because I hadn't written to Leo in two weeks now.So when I blew my whistle he hurried by and took the paper from me before carefully dashing out.My eyes and heart were determined to carry out my revenge, Leo or no Leo. If he wasn't ready to stand with me, I was going to stand alon
AVA:I sat on a chair in my Luna office, trying to go over some documents the next day.While at it, my mind wandered somewhere and I couldn't help but ask myself why Damien hadn't gotten into trouble yet. I mean, there was no news of trouble anywhere and it was suddenly getting me pissed.Did the people I sent not do their job? Unable to concentrate anymore, I drew back and stood up. I carried the bag I had come here with and started leaving for the house.It was already evening and almost time for me to leave, so it made not much difference.When I got home I got into my room and went straight to freshen up.I had just stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body when I heard someone knock on my door.I hurried into my clothes which were already laid out on my bed and then went to open the door.I pulled the door open, expecting to see a maid or someone else but was shocked when I saw Damien. It had been a long time since he came here. Especially because he had b
AVA:Damien folded his fist, his fingers already drawing blood from his tightened fist."You...you really don't know anything about it?" He asked again and I shook my head in negation."No, I don't. I heard of it just now." I replied, wondering if he was trying to pin the blame pin the blame on me.His eyes were gravely sad and his lips expressed nothing but anger. I was expecting Damien to go ahead and tell me what was going out, but he simply rushed out. I on my part, had no courage to pull him back."The slave trade..." I muttered to myself.The slave trade, a trade which involved the capturing, buying, and selling of enslaved humans by werewolves had been abolished a few decades ago. Our predecessors had reached an agreement with the humans that they would abolish the slave trade in exchange for drawing of boundaries and the end of war between them.However, here was Damien igniting a feud of years ago. The reason he is restless with each passing second is that he has a very hig
ALPHA KING LEO:"There's no need to make that move. I already took care of them." I said to Ava the moment I pulled her back.I had not heard from her for like forever and although it was hard, I had to do it for her sake. Throughout those times that I wasn't by her side, I made sure to keep an eye on her.Ava widened her eyes and turned to look at me. I released her mouth and she immediately asked in a hushed tone, "What's going to happen to them? Are they all gonna die?"I nodded. "Yes, they'll have to die. I already gave enough gold and aid to their families.""But I could stop Damien from killing them. I just have to go out there and tell him the truth." Ava said, trying to wiggle her body out of my grasp but I held her tight."The truth? That you started this whole slave trade thing?" I whispered, frowning in concentration.Just a few hours ago, Damien had rushed into my office and laid straight on the floor. He had brought bars of gold with him also, with some men carrying it fo
AVA:Ever since I returned from the trial place where I had experienced Damien killing those people, I have been feeling very sad and down.That type of sadness you're feeling, not for yourself but for someone else.I have been unable to eat since I came back.I can remember asking Leonard if those people's families would feel consoled after those losses and he told me, they would forget with time.But hurt, pain, all the sad moments, can they ever be forgotten?...I felt for those families. I was sharing in their pain, and I was regretting it over and over again but I could do absolutely nothing about it.I was going to try everything possible to be focused on my revenge scheme, but then, I was going to make sure that I minimized the losses. I wasn't going to let anyone die, ever again.I sniffled in and wiped my tears.A knock interrupted my train of thoughts and I was forced to pull my sight to the door."Come in," I said in a cracked voice and Diana walked in with a tray of food.
AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey stood in front of the mirror of the room she had been given, staring at herself.She wanted to be Luna, she wanted to be in charge. That yearning was eating deep into her skin, yet it didn't look like she was making headway with whatever she was doing.These days, Audrey had tried to get closer with Ava but it seemed like the more she drew closer, the more Audrey smartly put her off.Audrey rose from where she was seated behind the mirror and applied a little more red lipstick to her lips, arranging her hair in the process.Audrey decided to give it a thought but it seemed odd that lately, Ava always predicted her actions and words. Something more like Ava knew exactly how to respond to her.Just like on that day when Damien was trying to pass a necklace around her neck, Ava had made her look like a home wrecker and right now, it was making Audrey feel like pulling her hair.Ava had avoided all contact with her. Not like they didn't greet when they met or didn't t
AVA:"Why did you kill those people without a second thought, huh?"I asked even though I had started heaving deeply and the pace of my breathing increased.I was scared but at the same time, I couldn't hold my passion for those that had just died.I watched as Damien closed in the space between us but this time around, I didn't move back. At least, I would put up this act of bravery as a way of paying respect to those people who had died."You watched me kill them and now you feel so conscientious, huh?" He laughed to his heart's content and then lifted my chin with his index finger."Uhmm, how do I put this, so my brainy wife will understand? They were traitors. I asked them who was behind this but they refused. Wifey, those are people we call hardened criminals." He said and I wondered how he was able to smile with so much blood on his hands.I had said my bit. I didn't need to go further or it sure would be disastrous. My passion would be the end of me if I continued to express my
