ALPHA KING LEO:I'm not weak and I hate it when people see me as such. Because when they do, I tend to prove them wrong.I hate disloyalty, especially from people I was fighting so hard to protect.I folded my arms across my chest as I proceeded to walk majestically into a room with little or no decorations.Every Alpha had a torture, where truths were being told. If such Alpha didn't believe your truth in that torture room, then you'd be as good as dead and those screams that erupt from torture are not getting anywhere past the four walls of the room.I am on my way to show the ruthless side of me to one of my subjects and I am not looking back.I would have left everything to Ethan to handle because some things were too degrading for me to do, but this woman was the one who tried to poison me and I've got to go handle her myself.I walked into the place and I put up my right hand in the air, signaling Ethan to stop with whatever it was he was doing.I needed to get done with this, s
AVA:"Who do you think is responsible for this?" Leo asked,"Could it be that it's the same person who killed Aria that sent that woman to come poison me?" He added and I shook my head in the negative."Honestly, I have no idea." I watched him take my hands, leading us away when I gently pulled my hand away and said, "I'm sorry for preventing you from killing the woman that tried poisoning you. You must have wanted to kill her."I watched him smile before he put his both hands into his pants pocket and made a small smile."You shouldn't be sorry. Then, I should be thanking you instead. I figured out something in the way you think. It's a wise method and I think I would adopt it too. You made me understand that not everything ended in immediate destruction. We all have to use diplomacy at some point to gain more. If I had killed her, then, I wouldn't be able to use her. Then, again, you burned down a whole house without anyone raising an eyebrow that you did it. That way, you didn't ha
AVA:I woke the next morning to the sound of a knock on my door.It wasn't anything like the usual knock of a visitor on your door, this one was aggressive, so aggressive that it got my head pounding.I didn't bother asking who was at the door because whoever was at the door must be lacking in reasoning for knocking this way.Last I checked, I didn't owe anyone, so I shrugged and opened the door, wondering what might have gone wrong."You! Who the hell do you think you are to let my child die like that? Aria was in your fucking, why did you let her die, huh? Eh, childless woman!" A certain woman screamed, jumping at me.I backed away or my face would have been scratched by her elongated nail. Or should I say that if not for the man who had held her by the waist, I would have been writhing in pain by now?The pain and veins in her eyes, neck, and head said all about how she felt about Aria's death.I hadn't seen the woman all my life but from what I could deduce, I tell that she was the
AVA:I sucked in a deep breath and went to check the door just to make sure it was locked."I'll tell you everything but you have to promise me two things. One, you won't breathe a word of this to anyone, and two, you'll have to be on my side from now henceforth."In response to what I had just said, Sarah nodded her head.I frowned slightly. "Say it with your mouth. I want to hear it.""Yes. Yes, I'll do whatever you want. Just tell me what I want to hear. I can't bear the fact that my daughter's murderer is walking around free while my daughter is six feet down." She said and I smiled."Before your daughter died, she wanted to speak to me but because of how busy everything has been with us this past few days, I haven't been able to communicate with her. I never knew she wanted to say something so serious." I paused to look at Sarah and she was paying rapt attention."She wanted to tell me that Damien was cheating on me." I dropped the bombshell and Sarah who was leaning forward, imme
AVA:The reason I didn't know Sarah's name earlier was because she didn't regard me and she had never spoken to me directly. In family gatherings, I was pushed to the side once something important was about to be spoken.But I was their workaholic Luna. Always supporting their brother during wars and supporting in every other way I could, except, of course, giving birth."I'm sorry Ava but I'm in your shoes too. My husband abuses me and I am worth nothing in his eyes too. You could inquire from my maid and she would tell you how I am being treated in my home. Luckily enough, I make sure to hide the sight of my physical violence from Aria. I didn't want her to see her father as bad or even have a made view of men when she grew up.But then, last month, my mate came home drunk. So he didn't care that he was hitting me in front of Aria. Aria would always cry and ask me if it hurt because my eyes almost got ruined. If water touches my eyes right now, you'll see that my skin there is a me
AVA:"Is everything about you some bad luck, huh? Why does my grandchild have to die in a place you're in." Clara, my mother-in-law said and I couldn't help but turn my back to her and roll my eyes.With the effects her words had on me, if I had replied to her at all, then my words would have come out brutish.I didn't know what snapped in my head but all of a sudden, I felt the weight of the maltreatment in my head. I felt that burden on my throat that came from being unheard for many years and I thought that I deserved to say at least a word to her.After all, being accused of murder was a serious offense that I shouldn't let slide so easily."I'm no bad luck. And you can say that about someone who wasn't within the vicinity when Aria died. Watch what you say, murder isn't just child's play. Besides, if you weren't so chaotic yourself, you wouldn't have transferred Aria from your house to this place." I said, banking on what Sarah had earlier told me.With so much confidence in my e
AVA:I made to leave my room just so I could go know why Damien had called me when Audrey dragged me back by the arm."I...I." She stuttered, probably not knowing how to arrange her words."What did you say to Aria's mother? Did you tell her anything? I...I mean, do you by any chance know anything." Audrey managed to spit out.Audrey's eyes were already twitching and her fingers, slightly shaking.I shrugged her hand off my arm and rolled my eyes while turning to completely face her."Come on, I have to run along and meet the Alpha before he gets pissed at me. I know nothing of what you're talking about. I already told you what Sarah and I discussed when we came here. Or don't you trust me?" I asked, cocking my head to the side."I...I do, I do trust you but it's just that things are getting fishy around here lately. You know, the investigation is going on and no matter how much I try to shake off the feeling, I feel that all eyes are on me. Not to mention the question you asked me th
ALPHA KING LEO:I ran in a certain direction, till the dry crunchy leaves under my feet made pounding sounds that reminded me of my territory.Yes, the woods were my territory and there was nothing anyone could do about that.I faced the woman who had almost poisoned me and gave her a deadly glare. She quickly fell on her feet."What's going on? I asked for this information to be given a day after but now, it's taking weeks." I walked closer to her till I was near enough and stopped."Are you abusing the privilege to be alive?"The woman vigorously shook her head in terror while rubbing her palms together."I'll say what I've got. Please spare me this once. Throughout last week, I've been disguising myself like someone new who wanted a new task just so they could leave a clue for me to follow but they haven't given me any. It got to a point, where I had to bribe my direct boss but she still said it was against the rules to employ one person to do a job twice and that they only recruit
