ALPHA KING LEO:

"There's no need to make that move. I already took care of them." I said to Ava the moment I pulled her back.

I had not heard from her for like forever and although it was hard, I had to do it for her sake. Throughout those times that I wasn't by her side, I made sure to keep an eye on her.

Ava widened her eyes and turned to look at me. I released her mouth and she immediately asked in a hushed tone, "What's going to happen to them? Are they all gonna die?"

I nodded. "Yes, they'll have to die. I already gave enough gold and aid to their families."

"But I could stop Damien from killing them. I just have to go out there and tell him the truth." Ava said, trying to wiggle her body out of my grasp but I held her tight.

"The truth? That you started this whole slave trade thing?" I whispered, frowning in concentration.

Just a few hours ago, Damien had rushed into my office and laid straight on the floor. He had brought bars of gold with him also, with some men carrying it fo

    AVA:Ever since I returned from the trial place where I had experienced Damien killing those people, I have been feeling very sad and down.That type of sadness you're feeling, not for yourself but for someone else.I have been unable to eat since I came back.I can remember asking Leonard if those people's families would feel consoled after those losses and he told me, they would forget with time.But hurt, pain, all the sad moments, can they ever be forgotten?...I felt for those families. I was sharing in their pain, and I was regretting it over and over again but I could do absolutely nothing about it.I was going to try everything possible to be focused on my revenge scheme, but then, I was going to make sure that I minimized the losses. I wasn't going to let anyone die, ever again.I sniffled in and wiped my tears.A knock interrupted my train of thoughts and I was forced to pull my sight to the door."Come in," I said in a cracked voice and Diana walked in with a tray of food.

    AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey stood in front of the mirror of the room she had been given, staring at herself.She wanted to be Luna, she wanted to be in charge. That yearning was eating deep into her skin, yet it didn't look like she was making headway with whatever she was doing.These days, Audrey had tried to get closer with Ava but it seemed like the more she drew closer, the more Audrey smartly put her off.Audrey rose from where she was seated behind the mirror and applied a little more red lipstick to her lips, arranging her hair in the process.Audrey decided to give it a thought but it seemed odd that lately, Ava always predicted her actions and words. Something more like Ava knew exactly how to respond to her.Just like on that day when Damien was trying to pass a necklace around her neck, Ava had made her look like a home wrecker and right now, it was making Audrey feel like pulling her hair.Ava had avoided all contact with her. Not like they didn't greet when they met or didn't t

    AVA:"Why did you kill those people without a second thought, huh?"I asked even though I had started heaving deeply and the pace of my breathing increased.I was scared but at the same time, I couldn't hold my passion for those that had just died.I watched as Damien closed in the space between us but this time around, I didn't move back. At least, I would put up this act of bravery as a way of paying respect to those people who had died."You watched me kill them and now you feel so conscientious, huh?" He laughed to his heart's content and then lifted my chin with his index finger."Uhmm, how do I put this, so my brainy wife will understand? They were traitors. I asked them who was behind this but they refused. Wifey, those are people we call hardened criminals." He said and I wondered how he was able to smile with so much blood on his hands.I had said my bit. I didn't need to go further or it sure would be disastrous. My passion would be the end of me if I continued to express my

    AVA:Since the early hours of the morning when I woke up, I have been thinking of what to do to excuse myself from Damien's meeting with Leo.I have been thinking a lot but then I've got no tricks up my sleeves and it feels so heartbreaking. Although I have I have ignited the trouble, I don't want to be anywhere there. Moreover, I had told Leo not to show himself to me.I can remember my exact words to him that day. When he was done telling me that those people were bound to die and that he had settled their families. He had cleaned my tears with his hand and I sniffled hard, trying to control my tears.I was surprised at myself. Leo was someone I was supposed to be pushing away from myself because of what he had done the last time, yet, my heart and wolf were drawing me to him with each passing second.It was such a shame how I felt like claiming his lips that instant. I still thank the moon goddess that she helped me with a level self self-discipline."Get away from me." I had sai

    AVA:"What is it you want to tell me?" I asked the young girl who first looked around to make sure no one was within hearing distance before she said,"I think Auntie Audrey is a bad cook. I don't like her food. Can you or the maids be making food for me, please?" Aria pulled my hand and I sighed softly. I had already been stressed enough for today but then, little Aria was adding to it.I knew Audrey was a bad cook and even when she cooked, she did that with the aid of some maids."Alright, Aria. I will always make your meals and when I'm not there, the chief can do it for me. Is that okay for you?" I bent down and touched the girl's hair.Then I noticed a food stain on her clothes that I couldn't ignore."You have to be careful with your clothes, Aria. What happened to your clothes?" I asked and she said,"Aunty Audrey poured soy sauce on me.""Ok, dear. It must have been a mistake, you see. Audrey would never do it deliberately." I patted Aria's head and handed her to a maid who w

    AVA:The riverside provided enough oxygen for me to suck in.I had run there because it was my usual place to go to when I was greatly distressed.I sat on a rock and I cried and cried. I didn't understand why I was crying all right, but the betrayal was too heavy for tears not to fall."I don't like seeing you like this." A particular voice permeated my senses and I was forced to look up.Alpha Leo was looking down at my miserable state."I'm okay," I said and wiped the tears from my eyes. I didn't need anyone to tell me that Alpha Leo was here to console me but for once, I didn't want anyone consoling me.I wanted to cry till I was tired of crying and I didn't want to be vulnerable in front of anyone, not Leo. So, tomorrow, I could be able to cry without his shoulders.At this point, I didn't care if it was Leo who had helped me so much. I couldn't afford to be this way in front of the same gender as the person who had hurt me.As though he knew I didn't want anyone touching me, he

Each word he said just had its way of making meaning in my mind.I was looking forward to seeing him. I couldn't wait to get back from work and be alone, just to have ample opportunity to be alone so we could talk together.Talking about the gift of a phone he bought me yesterday, I've only ever dreamt about possessing it and nothing else.. but now, he has made that dream a reality.I stacked some papers on top of the others and did the neatest arrangement that I could before slinging my bag across my shoulders and deciding to get homeLeo was basically the reason I hadn't lost my mind in Damien's house.

    AVA: Restless, I stirred on my bed. I had been thinking so much about how I was going to get the carats of gold that would be enough for my greedy mother and whatever it was she wanted to do with it that I didn't sleep a wink the entire night.There weren't any options that I hadn't exhausted. If I went to tell Damien, then, that would be the death of me.I couldn't also ask Alpha Leo, it would look as though I was greedy since he had done enough for me already.I sighed and got up. I wouldn't have been this miserable if I hadn't shared my secret with my mother on that unfortunate morning. I opened the door to my room and stepped out, deciding I was rather going to suppress my fear and tell Damien that my mother needed some gold and that I was looking to get his permission.The. moment I opened the door, Aria hugged me and I smiled at her and lowered myself to her size."I kept a snack over there. Now run along and go get it." I pointed back into my bathroom before leaving for Damie

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.

    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

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

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.

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.

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.
