AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey ran as fast as she could, her breathing ragged and her face a bit flustered.When she came nearer to Damien, whom she was looking for, she sashayed on her way to him."Why do we have to meet here and now of all times? The treaty is tomorrow and I don't want to raise any suspicions."Damien asked in a hushed but forceful tone as his eyes desperately demanded an answer from Audrey.They were in the garden of his abode and he couldn't afford to leave any room for mistakes."Don't you blame me here 'cause I don't know why things are falling apart but I'm the only one to notice.""Things are falling apart. What do you mean by that?"Audrey sucked in a deep breath and heaved it out before returning, "It's about Ava.""Ava. What about her?" Damien asked even before Audrey could finish."You need to do something. I think Ava is suspecting that we are together. First I have to ask, when last did you touch your wife?""I can't remember. See, it's because I love you and I co

AUTHOR'S POV:Ava had no idea what happened to her during the minutes she passed out but when she woke up, she couldn't see Damien or anyone by her side.She gasped and jolted up in a frenzy.Did the meeting with Alpha King Leo go on without her?Ava raised her hands to touch her face, her entire body now panicky.This was the reason she risked her life, the reason she took those bloody painkillers she had gotten from the human side. It was just to end the meeting and now it was going on without her?Ava slowly shook her head sideways. No.A tear was about to escape her eyelids when the door to the room she was in, creaked open and Damien walked in.As he menacingly walked toward Ava with a disapproving frown etched out on his, she found it hard to focus in his direction.Did he have it all figured out? Did he already fix the problem and was now back to show her the way to hell just like he used to?The Opioid plus one other herbal medicine she took was supposed to make her pass out f

AVA:Sometimes when life hits us hard, we don't want to smile, just so we'll be reminded of the pain every day. The pain that reminds us of our purpose.Otherwise, who would have thought that I'd turn down Alpha Leo's offer to have soup with him even with the way my heart beats for him?Those things like going out with someone to have soup, going to enjoy the cool evening breeze at the river. Meeting up in some secret place even if it's business we're discussing wasn't what I would like to be doing with my time.I looked away. Love was all a distraction. Something that made your heart thump and made you look up in anticipation even when the person wasn't there.Oh, no, I wasn't really going to let love happen between Alpha Leo and me. The Moon goddess had brought me back to life so I could have my revenge on my enemies and I was going to focus on doing just that.Although I have been a loner most times in my life, and Alpha Leo was beginning to be a company these days, I didn't want t

ALPHA KING LEO:Sitting at my table and looking over some documents, the scene of the first day I met Ava played in my mind and I smiled.She was in her pool of blood when I saved her and took her home. I could remember how confused her eyes looked when she stared up at me like I was her only savior.Then I frowned. I had stopped writing on those papers a long time ago. I had been thinking about her all the while and it felt like I couldn't do anything else.For some reason, I could remember her a million times. I saw her in the daily newspapers brought in from the human world, I saw her when I ransacked my closet for a cloth to wear. I saw her when any female stood in front of me.Somehow, it was as though I was beginning to go crazy because I couldn't seem to get her off my mind."Alpha, the Dagger War pack is asking for the treaty. They need it to begin immediate operation." Ethan called in and I jerked up while placing my hand on my head and rubbing it slowly.Anyone who saw me wo

ALPHA KING LEO:I transformed back into my human form due to the fact that I was restless both inside and out.Worry lines formed on my forehead as I stared in the direction of the Blue Crest pack.I had sent my usual signals to Ava but got no response from her. This was unlike her. She never delayed if I told her that we should meet.The first messenger I had sent reported that Ava wasn't within reach. For the past three days, she hadn't left her home. No, not to the market, not to bathe, not even to the court where she worked as Luna.That, I had found very suspicious because Ava wouldn't be okay and not go to these places. She would never be okay and not go to bathe.I had decided to send another messenger and that was exactly what I did. But now, he is yet to return to me.I had transformed into my wolf form earlier because it was getting close to daybreak and I needed to leave but then, not seeing Ava for three days straight was making me feel anxious and terrible.For the first
