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
AUTHOR'S POV:"Why weren't you here the minute I called?" Alpha Leo asked, enraged.He had wanted to ask Ethan about the woman who almost poisoned his food but then, he had called Ethan three times in a minute but the latter was just arriving."My apologies, Alpha. I was uhm...uhm.""You were what!" Leo yelled but when he realized that he had raised his voice, he lowered it and said, "How long do I have to tell you to make you understand that you have to be here when I call you? You weren't even this way before, what the heck changed?" Leo shrugged, glaring at Ethan."I...I was with Biliie and I had to go through a whole process to tell her goodbye. You would never understand what I'm talking about 'cause you've never fallen in love." Ethan said with so much emphasis on the word love.Leo frowned, "You mean you couldn't even cone the minute I called because of a woman? Your work isn't important, huh?" Leo smiled even though he was trying so hard to frown."You know, you won't stand t
ALPHA KING LEO:I walked out of the corridor only to stumble on Ethan kissing Billie. I understand that he was leaving and wouldn't be back in a while and this was perhaps a bye-kiss but did they have to do it where I could see them?Seeing Billie, I remembered Ava and the nice tingling sensation that had blessed my stomach while we kissed.I looked at them again and I could no longer stand the sight of them together. I glared at them and went ahead to pass by Ethan, making sure to give him a nudge in the arm."Remember we have somewhere to be at this morning." I heard him groan and I smiled.Ethan was really in love and now, he was behaving like a fool.I pulled my coat together, covering myself the more. I don't know how urgent it is for me but Ethan told me that Ava was still at the temple.When I heard slight footsteps behind me, I knew it was Ethan, so I turned to him."Let's hurry up. Ava might need our help sooner."******When we got to the largest temple in Blue Crest pack,
ALPHA KING LEO:"I'll not kill you on the condition that you won't hurt your mate." I tightened my squeeze on Damien's shoulder, feeling repulsed by the mere fact that I had to call Ava his mate."I'll...I'll do so," Damien said grunting and I sighed.Ava was at fault here, if only she briefed me on when she was going to be in danger t, then I would come to rescue her right on time.I began walking out of the place and soon, I transformed into my wolf form and made for the Blood Crescent pack.I am sure that Ethan took Ava to my place because that was what I would have told him to do. Ethan has stayed so much with me that I think he reasons like I do.When I got home, Ava was lying in a room on a bed, with her wounds all covered up. I went beside her and sat down. As much as I wanted to ask her what happened, I considered that she was in so much pain and kept shut.My eyes did the speaking as I kept staring at her, hoping I could take away even a fraction of her pain by feeling it m
AVA:"I'll be gentle with you, okay?" Giving me a reassuring look, Leo moved closer and hugged me."I love you and no matter what, you'll always belong here." He touched the left side of his chest.I smiled sickly, I can't deny that Leo had taken over my heart completely.Truth be said, I was only with Damien physically and nothing more. Leo had my heart and everything good from me that I can think of."I'm just going to get you something to eat. Stay put while I go get in my and I'll be back before you know it." Leo kissed my forehead and got up.Soon after he left, a lady entered the room with fresh roses.I smiled even though I had no idea who she was. How on earth did she know that I liked roses?She came beside me and smiled at me."I've heard a lot about you and most of the courageous things that you have done and I admire you greatly. I'm Billie by the way."I nodded weakly and she made me have a whiff of the flowers before placing it above my head."Thanks," I said, and then t
AVA:Audrey's words were almost becoming boring but I humored myself and stayed out to listen more."You can go ahead and tell the whole pack what I did, but you have to risk between me telling Ava of our affair, not agreeing to carry your baby, and doing that." Audrey sparked.I was expecting Damien to say something but he was mute for a while."Fine!" He uttered and at that point, I felt so disappointed.I had expected him to push further, telling Audrey to her face that she just murdered the royal blood and it was a felony he wasn't going to let her escape from but I was bound to be disappointed. I regretted even expecting it in the first place.I lowered my head when I felt tears warming the back of my eyes. Damien had betrayed his blood because he wanted fame, he wanted to be in power, and he wanted a child that would ensure his longevity.If he had taken a different decision from this one, I would have considered lessening his punishment, since a bit of humanity remained in him
AVA:Today was a day to Damien's birthday but festivity was already in the air. One wouldn't believe it but preparations for food that the guest would eat tomorrow had already started."Yes, go drop it that way and come carry this one," I instructed one of the servants who was carrying a huge pot.Anyone seeing how I was so energetic in preparing for Damien's birthday wouldn't believe that Damien had anything coming his way on his D-Day."Ma'am, I have something to tell you." Diana narrowed her eyes at the door of the big hall as though checking if anyone was deliberately eavesdropping."Can't it wait, I have so much to take care of." I didn't want her saying anything in this hall with so many people in it. Even an empty room with walls had ears, talk more of a room filled with people.When I saw the difficult expression on Diana's face, I pulled my apron, handed it to someone, and then dragged Diana outside."What is it you can't wait to tell me?""My Luna, Ma'am Audrey is planning
