AVA:That was a knife the lady had wanted to stab me with and I couldn't believe my eyes. Leo had just saved me from the vengeful girl. "Are you okay? We gotta leave. I knew we could not trust them around here.""I'm fine. It's alright, we can go home now." I said, tucking my hair behind my ear."Wait, what? Don't tell me you want me to let her go like that. That lady over there almost killed you." Leo stated, pointing at the girl lying on the floor."Just watch me kill her now. I can't even believe you're saying this. It could have been you, lying there with a knife in your midriff." Leo said and in the next second, he was beside the lady, her head in his arm. Her neck was in between his right arm. If he snapped it, then she would be dead."Please stop!" I screamed. "Stop, okay?" This time, I lowered my voice."Please don't kill her, okay? Her sister is dead and she thinks it's because of me. She is just a little angry. But we shouldn't judge her based on the tantrums she's throwi
AVA:I listened intently to the recorder. Diana's voice was jittery and shaky as though one wouldn't believe what she was saying at first thought."There are lots of things I would like to say but there isn't enough time to say them all. Most importantly, I am being hunted and I will be killed any moment from now.My Luna, Ma'am Audrey isn't a friend at all, and now, I know why you would see but pretend like you didn't.Unfortunately for me, I run my mouth so much that it's too late before I figure it out.It all started when my mate and boyfriend jilted and abandoned me for another lady who wasn't even his mate. She was a courtesan and I thought perhaps it was because she was wealthy and of higher status that he left me for her.Meanwhile, my sister, Pamela, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about her. She is Ma'am Audrey's maid too.She came in contact with a small bag that contained those blood-stained clothes and she gave it to me.I'm sorry my Luna, I didn't mean for it to go like
ALPHA KING LEO:I grinned as I took a sip of wine from the glass cup and gazed out of the window.It has been a long time since I waited for Ava to let me handle her revenge theme and now that she did, I feel so grate because I'm gonna make sure that they regret what they did to Ava all those times in the past.I promised to play twice as dirty.The outside world was tough. The world Ava lived outside of.Ava hadn't gone through half of the things I'd been through, and that was why I showed no sympathy or mercy to the evil. It's because if they had the same opportunity to waste me, they'd set me ablaze, so I don't give them the chance to have a second life.I moved to the kitchen and began preparing breakfast. I wanted to serve Ava breakfast in bed. While dicing the tomatoes, a silly smile crept up on my lips as the events of last night replayed in my mind like they had happened an hour ago.We joined our hot bodies together and I got to study her body, tongue, and of course, that li
AVA:"Give me your hand." Leo helped me up because I had just fallen to the ground during our training.Of course, we couldn't go fight without him equipping me with more than the basic skills of defense. Leo had told me that if I received the same training as he, I would be half as strong as he is, and damn, I totally wanted that. Imagine me knocking out the teeth of those bad people.The reason he didn't say that I would be as strong as he was, was because the Alpha King is usually the strongest in the whole werewolf kingdom."I have defeated you three times in a row, you can't defeat anyone without applying appropriate force to their vulnerable areas," Leo spoke strictly as though he was my tutor.Although he loved me, Leo never went soft on me while training was going on. I still think he should be a little more romantic instead of treating me like an enemy while we are training."But I'm tired." I gave him those puppy dog eyes that said 'pity me' but he shook his head in the ne
AVA:I swallowed hard, not knowing how to respond to Leo's mother who had been looking from my parents to me, her eyes demanding an explanation for the question she earlier asked.My mother had this sick lopsided smile on her face that showed she didn't even know where to start to explain, and my father was probably still trying to bring the nitty-gritty of his words together."Ma'am, I'm so sorry you had to hear this.""Of course, you have to be sorry when I tell my son about all this going on." She snapped at me before I even finished.My mother made to say another word but Leo's mother was already leaving before my mother got the chance to say a word.I glared at my mother. "Couldn't you have just kept your drama away from here till the next day?" I shook my head in disappointment while folding my arms across my shoulders and made to walk away. She dragged me back by the hand and this time, her petting facade fell off.Her face was ugly with a frown, she gave me a pointed look."No
AVA: I have been quiet after all that drama earlier and I even cried myself to an early sleep.Now, Leo is beside me, asking why I became sullen all of a sudden, but I was not able to answer."What's the problem, Ava? I have been begging you to tell me what's wrong since morning and I'm dying to hear you say a word." He said and like I had been doing since morning, I covered my face with the pillow and faced the other side."My mother told me she was going to be here, and though I did not meet her, I heard she was here earlier, so I'll go and ask her what happened," Leo said and I jerked up."Leo please don't go to your mother. I'll talk." I sat up and my gaze met Leo's. He folded his arms and glared at me, meaning that he was already pissed."Start talking, okay?" He piped low even though I knew his voice was lower than his emotions."Okay, first of all, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you what was wrong earlier. It's just that I would have burst into tears if I had talked. Your mother
AUTHOR'S POV: A sigh escaped Damien's lips as he lifted the hem of Audrey's clothes. He kissed her roughly, his ragged breath slowly working with his fingers to create sensations where the sun didn't shine in Audrey's body.Audrey moaned and Damien pursed for a moment. It all seemed so surreal but right now, Damien wasn't sure he was feeling as happy and satisfied as he used to be. He used to feel twice as pleasurable as he was now, but right now, his mind was somewhere else.He couldn't stop thinking about Ava. Was she going to come home with her parents? All of a sudden, he disengaged from Audrey, who gave him a questioning look."What's wrong? One minute you're in it and the next, you want out. What's going on?" She asked but Damien didn't answer.Instead, he was busy pulling up his pants."You're right. I don't feel like fooling around right now when I have a lot on my mind. I need Ava to get here. I need her to give an excuse to the public for committing the blunder she'd just
AVA:After like forever, I went back into the house because I didn't have any idea why Leo hadn't come out ever since, despite that I had clearly seen his mother leaving the house.I sighed softly. This was the first time Leo was acting up, and so I rolled my eyes. Couldn't he have at least, come to ask me to come in?I had left the house completely because, as wolves, our sense of hearing was top-notch, and I couldn't stay in the same house and at the same time give mother and son the privacy they both needed.I entered the house and began tracing my steps into Leo's room. With each step I took, I wondered what Leo talked about with his mother, and how Leo must have defended me.Of course, I had seen Leo's mother leaving with a stoic face when I was still outside but I knew that Leo must have my back no matter what."Leo," I called softly. He should have seen me but he had his back facing the door.His arms were crossed in front of him and he slowly turned to face me."I'm sorry, Av
AUTHOR'S POV:Leo got out of the car and he headed straight in a particular direction. Some of the men who were with Leo were already Safari's ex-men before they got hired by Discord, so they easily knew the hideout and the place where Safari's captives were kept.Leo gave an express command. "Seize the keys and free everyone." After entering the place, Leo began looking for Ethan and Billie. He tried using their scents to catch up with them but it their scents only lingered in the atmosphere. Wherever their, scents led, he went there but he would not see them.Worried, he began looking for them. Apart from. The stench of dead rotting bodies also filled the place and he was forced to cover his nose.Some people had been chained for a long time here and some were even chained to their deaths.Leo dialed a number as his right hand held it to his right ear."Drake, I think you need to contact the police on this one. Human trafficking is going on and we need to trap these bad guts and mak
AUTHOR'S POV:"Hello. Who the fuck are you?" Safari asked, reminding himself that he was the indomitable guy who had been fearless since age ten."I am Leonard and you must be Safari." Leo hoped that he was right because this same number was the last Discord answered."Listen to me," Safari bellowed, his voice sounded threatening."I need you to release the flash drive, hand it over to Discord, or else..."Safari drawled."Or what?""I kill the werewolves. I'll eliminate your stupid kind!" He yelled, trying to scare Leo."Why don't you hold on because I have a present for you?" Leo grinned smugly.Safari's face twisted in anger, his anger simmering below the surface, as he asked, "What present, what present you fu -" before he could complete his sentence, the line had already gone dead."That bastard!" Safari growled while standing up to his feet and downing the glass of alcohol in his hand."Who does that bastard think he is, huh?" Safari was angry that Leo had cut the call on him.A
CHAPTER 183AUTHOR'S POV:30 minutes earlier...Thirty minutes earlier, Discord had just shot a gun at Leo but he successfully dodged.This had angered Leo so much because he had not intended to harm Discord. He had planned to stay through to the word of his bargain. If Discord made them release his friends he would hand over the flash drive as well as clean up the mess created by the media.Leo frowned hard. He hated the fact that Discord had taken him for a fool just now this made him remember what he had done to Ava. Discord had shot Ava with the gun containing wolfsbane poison and now, he was doing this. Everything just kept aggravating the situation.Something snapped in Leo and his eyes changed color.He collected the gun from him in a fit of rage and watched him collapse to the floor."If wolfsbane is good, why don't you get your dose of it." Leo looked around at Discord's men and they only appeared feeble to him. He could finish them all in seconds but he only wanted to do thi
CHAPTER 182AUTHOR'S POV:The Grandmasters...Safari walked around the safety of his room, a glass of whiskey in his hand. He was simply in a dilemma as to what to do with the information Discord had just passed across.The problem was not in sending armed men to the place. The problem was simply the fact that those bastards could expose him too if he made the wrong move. One wrong move and everything he had worked for as a human trafficker, would just like a castle built in the air, crumble like a pack of sand.Who was going to save him now? He pondered and turned his wrist from time to time to check the time. Yet, time was passing and nothing was coming to his muscled mind.Another thought also crossed his mind. Could he afford to bear the loss that came with losing an entire day's work which didn't begin that night?Oftentimes, he'd always strategize and restrategize before he got the number of people he needed. Just when he thought he would actualize the number and finally pay for
CHAPTER 181AUTHOR'S POV:"Anything? By anything, do you mean anything?" Leo asked him again just so he could be sure."Don't be a dumbass, I've got no time on my hands. Spit out" Discord turned his wrist to check his wristwatch."In exchange for that flash drive, I need you to convince Safari to release everyone he held captive on the 30th of last month. In addition to doing that, I'll make sure to retrieve the news and make a public announcement that it was a fake mix-up. That would be a valid argument. Not only will you be free. Your family will be able to trust in you again."It was a tempting offer and Leo expected Discord to take the bait. After all, he had learned that each member of the Grandmasters was proportionally selfishUnexpectedly, Discird was fast to recognize the trick Leo was trying to play. The trick was to set him up with the rest of the Grandmasters!'Does this bastard want to set me up?' Discord asked in his mind. He couldn't believe that Leo took him for a fool
CHAPTER 180AUTHOR'S POV:Discord had the place surrounded by his men. There were over 500 men in the vicinity. Their guns and other ammunition stood in front of them, scaring others and onlookers away.Discord marched in front as their leader. Hen entered the place and went to sit on one of the king-sized seats he saw in the place.Pomposity and pride were usually the first weapons he used to surrender his enemies when the need arose. Many a time, when his opponents saw his heavy firearms and squad, they would usually surrender without him firing a single shot. But was he going to win in this mission?"I'm fucking speaking to everyone in this place. There's no need to hide. Come out and let's fight. You know how to run your goddamn mouths to the news but you can't fight, is that it? Hmm?" Using a lighter, Discord lit up a pipe and began smoking.Meanwhile...Drake noiselessly found his way to where Leo was. "Do you think we should call the police? There's a shortage of our men from t
CHAPTER 179AVA'S POV:Drake and other Equators had suggested the exposing of the illegal activities done by Discord stored in that flash drive. The Flash drive also contained the illegal activities done by the notorious Safari and Red Saint's gang respectively.I wonder why Discord kept such a record when he appeared to be discreet enough. Perhaps, he wanted to use it to his advantage in the future.Of course, we had done as planned but we only revealed Discord's misdeed, meaning that we were putting them in a great apprehension of harm to their reputation. Discord was already in danger but as soon as the rest of the group knew about this, they would come running to us in order to cover the truth. The Equators had a media house that they operated discreetly, but even I knew that those miscreants would blow the cover and find us in no time.Picking up a remote, I switched to Channel News. "News Headlines: A man named Discord is the head drug baron in the country. Corruption has eate
CHAPTER 178AUTHOR'S POV:Drake stood behind Leo all through the time he nursed his wife back to health.That meant that he stood behind Leo for the whole day, watching as he touched her lips, cleaned her face, or put her hair in order.Perhaps it was because he was loyal too that he stayed. He stayed to watch the definition of true love as it wowed him speechless.Leo had given his blood and Ava was halfway through the recovery process but he never left her for even an hour to go attend to his needs. His tired eyes were always on her as though she would die if she shut his eyes.Once or twice, Ava had protested, telling him to rest in the night and Leo had pretended to sleep and when he was sure that Ava had slept off, he awoke and continued keeping watch over her."I...I came with your breakfast but I haven't moved from here ever since then. It has pretty much turned cold and I know you won't take it, so, please excuse me. I'll go get dinner." Drake was able to stand for that long b
CHAPTER 177AUTHOR'S POV:"Safari, I've figured out a way to kill those creatures." Discord dropped the bombshell."What way?" Safari enthused. His heart leaped a thousand times as his head swelled with joy. What could that be that could destroy those scrawny creatures that wouldn't just die?Safari watched Discord's lips as they moved to make a speech...Discord couldn't help but make a flashback of what he had said to Safari. He had given a full lecture on how to bring an end to these creatures with the things he had discovered."You could kill them with wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is made from the plant aconitum. The patients allegedly diagnosed with wolfsbane poisoning, usually have a bitter taste in their mouths, followed by numbness and tingling in their faces and bodies, extreme nausea and vomiting, and cardiac arrhythmias and hypotension. Several required critical care has to be taken and if within five minutes, they are not resuscitated, the patients do one thing," Discord waited fo
