AUTHOR'S POV:"Audrey," Damien called, the name sounding so heavy in his throat. He had made a guttural sound, one like he hadn't learned to speak.Damien was about to ask the one question which had been heavy on his lips to say but which he was unable to.With each second that passed, he was made weak in the knees with the question, "What if Doctor Thomas was right."A lot of things came with Dr. Thomas's words turning out to be correct and that was more reason why he didn't want to ask because that would break him further.Part of the consequences that came with having an illegitimate child and it being a secret that was suddenly exposed was that he had just shot himself in the leg because Damien would no longer have the loyalty and full support of the pack. After all, the moon goddess would surely afflict them with wars, pandemic diseases, or even greater mishaps that would be a weapon of mass distraction.True to the saying that uneasy was the head that wears a crown and that if a

AUTHOR'S POV:"I love you, so very much Damien, please don't let me go like this. Please, think about it, think about how this would affect little Sean who has nothing to do with this." Audrey pleaded while coming closer to Damien.Damien who didn't want her anywhere near him shifted, he wanted out, he wanted to leave the place and leave Audrey and go to a place so far away.Intuition never lies because it has been a long time since he had felt that something was wrong with Audrey. That she was not being her true self. But he chose to keep quiet and not probe into any of her affairs, for peace to reign and because he wanted her happy.It was such a pain in the ass that the one family which he thought he had successively built wasn't really his.As it stands, he had no mate, no child. Everything he thought that he built was a lie. A huge lie looking him in the face."But, I love you. This was a mistake I made before we even got mated. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and we can go back to

AUTHOR'S POV:"Your Majesty of the East. We, the wolves of Blue Crest Pack, solicit your help in our affairs. In return, we give our loyalty and we ask for a treaty, as you may deem feat." Damien knelt and bowed straight to the empty seat of the Alpha's throne in the Alpha's chamber.Damien had been doing this for a while now, making proclamations upon proclamation, but no one was in the room with him, despite that he had been invited in here.This single phenomenon was humiliating enough but Damien was determined not to give up. Blue Crest pack suffered greatly and so Damien was determined not to go without a result, humiliation or not.Besides, the Great East was the only pack that accepted to hear from him despite that he had nothing to offer and he wasn't ready to miss this golden opportunity.Damien's knees trembled because he didn't even know for how long he had been in a kneeling position. His stomach grumbled from how hungry he felt.All of a sudden, Damien began hearing appro

AVA:After I made breakfast and served it for everyone to eat. Silence and tension ensued in the room as mother and son stared at each other."I came all the way to say that I'm sorry, son." Leo's mother suddenly broke the silence that once clogged the atmosphere and made it thick with tension."Mum, please. Ava has gone through a lot already. If you're here to mock her again, please don't do that." Leo was talking to his mother in a calm voice but everyone could feel the tension there."She has spoken to me, Leo, there's no need to act like that. She has spoken to me and has and I accept her as my mother-in-law. Leo, to err is human and to forgive is divine. I choose to forgive her because she did all she did to protect her only son from marrying the wrong person for him, but I guess..." I turned to look at her before I continued, "Not all beautiful souls have the perfect back story.""Mom, you should be thanking my wife for the beautiful heart she has. I knew that the reason you did

AUTHOR'S POV:"Stand up, Audrey," Damien commanded."It...it was you?" Audrey asked as though she couldn't believe her eyes. She had thought that she had just seen Ander right there at the spot, then, how come it turned out to be Damien instead of Ander?"You may be crazy, insane, whatever, I don't care. But I'm gonna release you from here on one condition." Damien decided to go straight to the point. "I need to get out of here, please...let me go. No one will hear that Sean is not your son. No, not when I love my life." Breathing hard, Audrey pleaded, making small smiles even if she was bad at them."There's no problem, but as I said, I must only release you on one condition, don't you want to know?" Damien asked Audrey as he began drawing dangerously close."Yes, what to get out of here?" Audrey asked as she rolled far back towards the wall.A small smile made its way to Damien's lips and settled there as a smirk.For one, Damien liked enjoying seeing his victims getting emotionall
