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
AVA:After Damien left the room that day relief washed over me. He hasn't brought up the matter and I'm grateful to the Moon goddess for that.Remind me to thank Sarah personally because I would have been in a terrible state if she hadn't intervened then.Sarah had raised a false alarm only to get Damien out of the room and from then, she distracted him the more, taking Damien off my back.I don't know but I think Damien needed more of his family members in this house just so the sanity here could be maintained. Everything has been going down well, here and not much drama has happened, especially, since I put Clara, my mother-in-law in her place.These past few days too, I haven't caught Audrey doing anything funny. She didn't enter Damien's room and Damien didn't go to hers. It seemed as though she didn't want to identify as Damien's mistress anywhere.As for Sarah, she left for her pack the following day. She had confided in me, saying she didn't know if her marriage would continue
AUTHOR'S POV:Ava arrived at the destination she had agreed with Leo that they would meet. Colored lamp lights greeted her sight, and the place was nothing like an ordinary forest.To her right was a booth that could contain two or more people if they wanted to sleep.The cool breeze of the night and the language of nature as they spoke in one character made Ava feel at peace. She raised her hands in the air and sucked in a deep long breath.Here felt like home. A home which she didn't have or better said, a hoke which she had never had.Someone cleared their throat behind her and she turned to look only for strong, muscular arms to cover her sight."Give up, I know it you," Ava said and smiled. Leo had a strong nice smell that she hadn't smelled on anyone, and it was making him easily identifiable by her."It sucks that I can't even surprise you anymore." He released his hands from her eyes."Do you like the place?""Yeah, it is so nice. I think you surprised me with this one. It's
AVA: My heartbeat increased and my eyes almost popped out of its socket as I slowly opened the door to my room, thanking goodness that I hadn't used the window.There is one thing I liked about my vision. It was the fact that it usually showed me things before they happened.While I was done speaking with Leo and it was time for us to go rest in the booth he had prepared for us, the vision came where I saw Damien entering my room and turning everything upside down.That was when I had taken the hint and run down here more like a cheetah. I passed by his chambers on my way here but his door was slightly open, meaning that he wasn't in there because Damien usually locked the door to his chamber at night.He turned to face me and I sweatlessly cocked an eyebrow in his direction, Asif questioning the reason he was trying to go through my things."You weren't here a while ago, where went you?" He asked and I entered fully."Well, I went to the maid's quarters. Diana was running a temperat
