Alexavia's POV I couldn’t help but feel nervous as soon as I heard those words. It was time for the elections? Finally?? Oh God…! Leo… I looked at him but as usual, he had that unflinching expression on, that expression that could give anyone the impression that he was fine. But deep down, he was probably in pain. For the sake of God, hopepe this guy gets to win this stuff. “The Alphas – only. Let’s proceed” one of the men said and started walking out of the room, alongside the rest of the Alphas who evacuated with them. Leo gulped the remaining wine in his glass and looked at me. “You should be fine here. I’ll be back” he got hold of my cheeks and kissed me, making me wonder in surprise.Was he just doing that for the books? Or he meant it? He unlocked and walked away and as he did, I could notice some of the girls in the room, stealing glances at me. “Wow” the lady beside me suddenly beamed.“That was awesome. I can’t even imagine the feeling – being with someone like Leo. I
Alexavia's POVI sat next to Leo in the moving car, my eyes fixed on the window beside me as I stared at the buildings and trees we drove past.He had been unusually quiet in the car and it was so obvious he had something perturbing going through his mind – like he’s always had for the past few days.Suddenly, the irritating feeling came driving into me as I held my tummy tight.“Leo! Please, pull over! Please!” I yelped and he screeched the car to a halt immediately.In a split second, I jumped out of the car, and with my hand still over my abdomen, I ran to the other side of the road and threw up.I made slight grunt sounds as I emptied everything in my stomach, leaving me with a sour taste. Goodness! I hated nausea.Leo had also stepped out of the car and leaned on the door, just watching me.“You alright?” He asked when I was done and stood upright.“I think so” I answered feebly, turning around to face him.He left the car and walked toward me“Oh! Little Miss preggy” he stated
Alexavia's POVThe same man that my mother thought was dead all along, was alive? All this while he never cards to find us, his family? Was he the man my mother said so much nice things about? Does he know how much we have yearned for him, especially my mother?I was lost in thought.“Olivia!” He called more audibly,The pains were too much for him already and he was calling out to me for help, calling me by my mother's name to save him.“Alex” Leo called behind me.“What is going on in your mind?”A tear came dropping from my left eye as I watched him.He was grunting painfully and looked like he wouldn’t make it if something wasn’t done to save him in time." Stop!" I yelped and the people hitting him halted. They all stared at me as I ran to him and hugged him tightly." Please stop."" Why should we stop? Do you know who he is and what he has done?"I couldn't say another word as tears crammed through my eyes, something in me was hurting so badly. It felt like I have known him fo
Alexavia's POV.The following morning…I had woken up to behold two eyes staring directly at me – two dark eyes. They were eyes I was familiar with, but that morning, something was different about them.I adjusted lightly, registering the fact that I was still naked because I’d slept that way the previous night.“Leo…” I called lightly.I couldn’t understand why he was just lying and staring at me.“Good morning, Alpha”.Leo didn’t say a word but only continued with the stare and for a moment, I cringed. Hold on; shouldn’t we be getting ready for the coronation already? It should be happening shortly and after that the hospital.“How are you feeling?” He finally asked and for the first time since I met him, I could detect some weakness in his tone.“I’m…. I’m fine. And you, Alpha?” I replied, but Leo only responded with a scoff.“Um…We should be getting ready right? For the coronation?” I asked but still, there was no reply.“L… Leo?”“You should freshen up” he finally said and with
Alexavia's POV.I hurried with a heavy chest as I marched angrily towards the block.My head wasn’t straight, normalcy was very far from me at that moment.I walked indefatigably to the block and met the guards outside the door.“Hey; where do you think you’re going?” One of them asked as he obstructed my way.The lines around my eyes were so red as I glared hard at the door.“I need to see Jack” I stated bluntly.If the boys were people that knew me, they’d have known my voice was sounding deadlier than it used to.“You mean…Mister Jack?” Another chipped in, correctly, but I didn’t reply.“What do you want with him?”“Just let me in. It's important” I glared.“You need to be spa specific, young lady, 'cause we’ve got no time for games”. The first guard said and I forced myself to look at him.“I said it’s important. Very important” I replied.The guards exchanged glances at each other. Then, one of them went in and returned in a few seconds.“Come on” he muttered to me and I followe
Alexavia's POV*****************I was the only passenger in the cab and I kept looking out for signboards to be sure the driver was taking me to the right place.“Hey; don’t you think you should get that arm treated? I could take you to a clinic” the driver said from the front seat, staring at me from the mirror.“It’s none of your business. Just keep driving” I answered bluntly..Minutes later, the cabby pulled over in front of my destination, and without hesitation, I stepped out of it.“Hey, Miss! Where’s my money?” The driver asked, shit I didn’t reply as I ran away.**If he isn’t dead yet, he’ll be dead in a few seconds* Jack’s words resounded in my head as I ran into the bushy area.The part where Leo's eyes had gone close, kept replaying in my head, tearing my heart apart.I looked around for Sapphire’s house, but I could almost see nothing. This was the street, right?I continued running, my heart racing faster with each second, my sanity leaving me already.I had to cover
Sylvia's POV“Ron?” I repeated and stood up. “What are you talking about? Who killed him??”“We don’t know yet, Sylvia. He was just found dead at a hidden spot a while ago. Someone stabbed him” Cruz replied, watching the expression on my face.“The hell…” I mumbled and took some steps away.Ron was dead?? For fuck sake? What could’ve happened to him? Who could’ve possibly stabbed him?“B…but it couldn’t be my sister, right?” I turned to Draco and asked, my eyes dimming.“Well,” he sighed. “I really can’t tell, Sylvia. It could’ve been anyone. We don’t know yet” he replied and I leaned against the wall. Why were a lot of things going wrong lately huh? What’s happening??I had the urge to break down, recalling so much trouble my sister was into already. What the hell was she doing?“Hey, come here” Cruz cooed and pulled me into a hug and this time around, I couldn’t resist.***************In Khalid’s roomJerry's POVI joined the three plump-looking men stood as I supervised the work b
Alexavia's POV.I opened my bleary eyes on the bed, my hands fisted, and my back ache.“Hey” I heard a voice call and turned my head slowly to see Sapphire sitting close to me.“You’re awake. How are you feeling?”I arched my brows and tried recalling what had happened.Sapphire…She’d cut her wrist open, but I was able to save her. And afterward, I felt so weak and passed out.“Alex, can you hear me?” Sapphire cooed and touched my arm and I forced myself to sit up.The memories of what had happened came flashing into my head; how I’d acted so crazy, attacked Jack…Goodness! Did I do all that???And Leo? Was he awake already? How would I know?My hand went slowly to my tummy, caressing the flat surface.“I… didn’t breed, did I?” I looked at Sapphire and asked.Sapphire's POVThe cut on her arm had already been taken care of, but I knew that wasn’t what she was referring to.“Your baby’s fine” I touched her arm and said and Alex took in a deep breath.“He did hold on, didn’t he?” she
Author's POV Alexavia sat feebly on the bed, a slight smile on her lips as she breastfed the tiny baby in her arms. Yes, you could call it tiny because he was so small, she felt she could crush it. “The doctor said you should take this as soon as possible” her sister Sylvia said as she held the bottle out to Alex. “Don’t worry, Sis. I’ll take them as soon as I’m done with the baby. Where’s Leo?”She asked, concerned. It’s been a long since he left the ward. “He’s addressing an issue out there, but he should be done soon” her sister replied as she dropped the bottle on the table. “I’ll go get the other things. Bye,” she added and left, leaving Alex all alone in the room. The 19 year old mother stared at the cute baby in her arms as he sucked so innocently with his eyes closed. His tiny pink lips were wrapped around her plump tip, drawing life from it and looking so beautiful. God! He was so cute and although he was just some hours old, Alex could tell he looked a lot like his f
Alexavia's POV.7 MONTHS LATER.I paced restlessly in the room, my hand on my waist with my big round bump in front of me. Sylvia was sitting tiredly on the bed, the phone in her hands as she stared at the four covered plates in the room. “Call him again”. I suddenly said, my voice sounding hoarse. “You were here when I called him, Alex. I’ve called him twice already and he said…” “I know what he said. Just call him again!” I snapped. “I just want to know if he’s close already”. Sylvia sighed and stared down at the floor and I stopped walking to look at her. “Why aren’t you calling him?” “Seriously Alex? Can you give me a break?” She scoffed. “What else do you want, huh? You asked for some noodles, and the cooks made them for you. Then, you asked for a bagel and cream cheese, and it was brought to you. You have four meals in total, Alex, yet you haven’t touched any of them. What else do you want?? Listen, I should be with Cruz right now, yet I left him to…” “So, Cruz is more
Alexavia's POVA while later….We drove into the camp, the securities at the gate stealing glances at who was beside Leo.He drove in and parked at a cool spot, then stepped out but I remained in the car.“Hey…” He opened my door and stretched his hand towards me.“Come on, Alex”.I stared at his hand, and nervously, took it and finally stepped out of the car.And together, we started walking into the main hall.I held Leo’s hand so tight, having a little string of hope and security around him.My eyes were on the floor as we walked in, all the people around muttering and stealing glances at us.And as soon as we got past the door into the main hall, guards surrounded us.“Seize her!” One of them suddenly yelled and instantly, an unknown force pulled me to my knees.“Argh!” I groaned as my knees landed hard on the floor and Leo’s eyes glinted.“Another person touches her and I swear, you’re dead!” His voice was a growl, a growl that quieted the entire place and gave the needle a chanc
