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
AUTHORS POV:In a dark hallway where there was neither a ray of light nor the hope for it, Damien sought a way out. Everything creeped him out and an eerie feeling engulfed him.He could feel the hair at the back of his head stand on end but sadly enough, he could do nothing about it."Uncle!" A voice that sounded forlorn irritated his ears."Who...show yourself. Who the hell are you?" Damien tightly pressed his hands to the wall as though it were his lifesaver."Please save me!!!" Because the voice screamed, he could recognize it as Ariana's voice.Then at that moment the dark figure of Ariana soaked in blood came out from the wall in the opposite direction and rushed at him."You're dead. Fucking stay away from me!" Damien screamed and just before Aria would touch him, Damien opened his eyes.It was a dream, a freaking dream! Damien observed his arms and his body and he figured out that he was already soaked in sweat.Restless, Damien supported his chin with his arms as he leaned
AVA:"Easy. Take it easy okay, there's no gold in there for you to want to hold it that badly." I said to Audrey while stretching the small bag towards her.Audrey snatched the small bag all the same and I felt the need to explain things to her."A maid happened to be with it and I collected it. I meant to return it to you since it belongs to you." I said and she mumbled a simple "okay."I wouldn't have suspected that anything was wrong or the bag Audrey was to arouse any form of curiosity if not for the way Audrey looked uneasy and uncomfortably shifted from one foot to another."Thanks for returning it then." She said and then turned away into her room and left.My eyes turned mysterious and I found myself looking at the door to Audrey's room more than required.I started walking in the opposite direction. My steps were light and fast because I was in a bit of a hurry to do so many things in just one day. Due to how fuggy my brain was and so many things occupying my mind, I didn't
AVA:I put on my shoes and characteristically dusted my hands even though my hands had no speck of dust in them.I had already announced what Damien told me the last night very early this morning, so I knew that they would be out here any moment from now.Diana knocked on the door and pushed it open without me permitting her.I frowned, this was improper of her. I would have screamed if not one of the rules for someone who was performing this ritual which I was about to embark on didn't need to scream."What are you waiting for? You should be leading everyone to the temple right now." My voice was as I spoke once Diana was near enough."Please Luna, I have something to tell you, but I can leave it for later if..." She was still talking when I tugged her arm.I looked to my left and right to make sure no one was coming even though I was in my room, and then I went to stand in front of Diana."You did tell me to monitor Ma'am Audrey, yeah?""Yes, I did. So go straight to the point, what
AVA:"Everyone, go back home. And not a word of this to anyone!" Audrey screamed and no one moved.All eyes turned to me as though seeking my authority and validation to do why Audrey had just commanded them.I chuckled and scoffed at the same time. Damien's evil look intensified but I couldn't tell if he was surprised by my reaction or not.This was all Audrey's plan and I had laughed because I knew that she must be feeling like the current Luna right now. That greed got to her head so much that she had to give commands in my stead. But guess who obeyed?As though Damien was lost for words, he opened and closed his mouth and then gave up a deep sigh. I could tell that he didn't know what to do with me at the moment."Everyone, you can all go home and I'll sort this out," I said in a calm note but loud enough for every one of them to hear.They muttered for a few before suddenly dispersing.I stared at Audrey as she now stood beside Damien, her cheeks were already heated up and redd f
