ALPHA KING LEO:My heart broke into a million pieces when Ava asked if I loved her. There was so much hurt in her eyes and that was what hurt me the most."I have to take you out of here." I was trying to get Ava out to safety and at the same time, avoid having to talk to Ava about love. Now was not the time.My two brothers were outside, and I had fought them with all my strength. They had grown stronger with the years and it was undeniable that they shared the same blood with me because they were strongly built."No," Ava held strongly to my arm as her lips parted for the second time."Tell me the truth. Do you love me?""I love you, Ava but we can't talk here. I have to take you out of this place so my brothers won't harm you, okay?" I whispered to her ears and carried her in my arms.I began leaving the place but the snarling of my younger brothers didn't go unnoticed. They were wounded from the fight not long ago. The reason Jasper was able to hold Ava and torment her to the exte
AUTHOR'S POV:Sighing for the umpteenth time, Pamela wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks.Ever since her sister, Diana died, her life was divided in two; sighs and tears.Nothing was going to fill up the missing void of her sister. Many times, she would say to herself, 'If only big sister was here,'.It wasn't easy grieving the loss of Diana, especially because they had lived most of their lives, having each other's back and Diana had helped define her identity in so many ways.Pamela considered suicide, but she knew that wouldn't be okay because the voice in her head told her that her sister would not be happy on the other side that she killed herself, instead of the one who had killed her.The bottom line was, that Pamela knew within herself, that with the way she felt right then, it was either she killed herself or she killed the very person whose name had been resonating in her mind - Audrey.That was not all.Pamela couldn't deny that she was aware of another fact.With each
AVA:I ran a little distance before I stopped to catch my breath.My breath had suddenly become fast and my body convulsed. It was the vision again. I could see it clearly when Pamela poisoned Audrey's food. According to my vision, Pamela was so consumed in her wrath that she did not regret her actions one bit. Then, everything went back to normal.I could breathe well again and I could see my present physical surroundings. I couldn't leave Blue Crest pack, no, not now. Not when my vision tells me not to. I should have suspected that Pamela had a trick up her sleeve when I saw the almost invisible smirk on Pamela's face after I mentioned she didn't have to die because her sister died.The truth was that in situations like this, Pamela must have thought to trust herself no matter what, and not likely the words I spoke.There was a reason I didn't want Pamela to kill Audrey. After all, there was a chance of Pamela succeeding in stabbing Audrey.Here was why.Shortly in Audrey's womb w
AVA:All of a sudden, an idea came to my mind I thought to carry it out. I didn't want to care if this was the last straw that would break the camel's back. I looked towards the direction Pamela had been standing a while ago and seeing that she still wasn't there, I began walking in that direction, ignoring the voice in the crowd, who had told me to remove my mask.Soon, I was lost in the crowd and I could no longer see the person running after me.I began to search for Pamela wherever she had gone. I checked in her room but she was not there. I checked in the kitchen but none of its corners contained her. I checked in the bathroom and that was when I found her."You tried to poison Audrey. You have to do as I say or I'll expose you." I had no time on my hands and so, I had to use a coercive measure to get what I wanted, and fast too.I expected Pamela to be ill at ease but she still stood confident despite that I was threatening her."What do you want?" She asked, arching her head a
AVA:"Alpha Damien, what the hell is going on? Did you bring me here to poison me?" The unnamed Alpha asked as I watched his rage radiating from his countenance.Damien laughed nervously, his head was probably yet to wrap around what was going on."No, I wouldn't kill you, I wouldn't kill an Alpha. This is not my work, I can't kill you.""If you didn't want to kill me, then, why did you make my food and drink poisoned? You know what, why don't you have a taste of the food in front of me? Yes, go ahead and have a taste, if you survive, I'll forget that all this happened and that you didn't try to poison me just now." The Alpha said and Damien turned to me.From the way Damien's eyes turned red, I could tell that he was enraged and wanted to curse at me. But of course, he couldn't do that, especially, because an Alpha he pretended to respect was there.My eyes searched for Pamela in a minute, and when I didn't see her, I wondered what she was up to and why she didn't stick around to kno
AUTHOR'S POV:"Hello there. How have you been?" Debbie, Ava's friend, and Ethan's girlfriend widened her arms for Ava to hug her.Ava hugged her back, she could use a hug right now because she had really been through a lot. The journey to Blue Crest pack and back had never been an easy one."I made food for you, I hope you'll like it." Billie quickly followed after Ava's stride."Of course, I would like it but..." Ava was about to turn her down when Billie beat her to it."I know you want to say that. But can you at least taste my food? I'm sure it'll be great, and besides, there's this little darling who won't stop saying she wants her Mommy and aunty. We had to bring her to our home from the orphanage. I learned you love children and trust me, you'll like her." Ava wondered why Billie was telling her all this additional information when she was just coming back now.Ava knew that she had been turning down relating greatly with Billie, and today, she felt a bit guilty.If she didn't
AUTHOR'S POV:When one is with the one they love, they tend to be happy together. The same was the case for Ava.A few days had passed and she was always glowing with happiness. Leo always made sure she was happy. She ate whatever she wanted and dressed however she liked. Leo didn't even let her lift a finger in the name of house chores, everything was done for her.The only thing she did was hourly training with Leo, which she had to plead with him for her to attend because he would not let her do anything on her own.Well, luck shined on Ava because her mother-in-law came to apologize and be at peace with her after she heard all that Ava had been through.Everything was going just fine with Ava and now, she understood the meaning of love and pleasurable moments of peace.If at all she pissed Leo off, he would dully punish her in bed, and she'd feel pleasure the entire time."Ava, come this way." Leo beckoned as he worked with the laptop on his lap. Ava was also aware that human rela
AVA:As I stood clueless in front of Ariana, now called Jennifer, I didn't know what to believe anymore.Thinking about it, one of these three must be right. It was either my eyes were deceiving me, or the young girl had changed her name, or she was just a lookalike of Aria who was stirring up so many emotions in me."Aunty!" I stood still as the girl. cried, running towards me. But I was surprised when she stopped a few feet away from me and peered at me like her mind was confused."Ariana?" I called out more like a question. Billie stared at me like she didn't understand what was going on."She's Jennifer though." Billie was saying when I got interrupted by something in my head. Leo was saying it was time for us to leave through the mind link. I was now his Luna.I was going to leave this place but not without first confirming something. I still believe that there's a high chance Ariana might be alive because according to Diana, she was hit into unconsciousness and had not seen Aria
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
