AVA:I slightly pushed Diana aside and went in to run outside. My legs carried me to where there was a commotion.I couldn't help but come down on my knees when I saw the lifeless body of the little girl I loved so much.I regretted that I wasn't there when Aria died. I could have simply protected that adorable girl I loved and treated like my daughter.But how could I have known that something like this would happen and to say that it happened while I was away was quite pathetic.Tears filled my eyes and I let them pour in torrents. I cried and cried and couldn't be consoled.I went closer to my Aria and bent towards her. I caressed her cheeks as I stared at her blood flowing fresh from her head and almost all parts of her body."She fell to her death. I've always known that the Alpha's place might not be the safest for a little girl like her." A woman made a comment that caught my attention and I geared my head a little to the right to be able to hear more.The woman was with her fe
AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey walked around her room, feeling all cramped around her spaceShe didn't mean to kill Aria but it had just happened.Audrey could remember the painful expression on Aria's face as Audrey put her head in the air. It must have been so difficult for Aria back then because Aria must have seen her life flashing before her eyes.Audrey regretted what she did, just this once. Something that she would do to mourn the dead. Audrey was sorry but not remorseful. If Aria had not died, then, the little girl might probably be blabbing to Ava and so e other members of the family. Audrey didn't want that, so she made sure that she shut up the leaking tap so that it wouldn't spill forever.Audrey rubbed her arm. She felt so cold but this time, she didn't have a care in the world. She wanted to be Luna and so, she was going to eliminate anything and anyone that stood in the way."I'm so sorry, Ariana. May your soul rest in peace." Audrey bade farewell to the little girl, her eyes i
AUTHOR'S POV:Ever since Aria died, Damien had been feeling a hollow in his heart that he couldn't even explain.He could remember Ava's words that compassion was the power of a king but right now, what he felt was deeper than compassion itself.Remembering that his cousin was in the corps outside this place bothered him and without knowing how, tears filled his eyes.He stood up from where he was sitting and washed a glass of wine down his throat.He had never truly felt emotional pain since a long time ago but right now, he was feeling this way and he couldn't help it.Although he couldn't believe it, his tears came down in droplets.Someone knocked on his door and he quickly hid his tears and rearranged his countenance to keep a straight face.Audrey cat walked towards him in her usual manner. If it were before, he would have stood up to meet her but right now, he wasn't in the mood and Audrey was supposed to understand that he was mourning Aria."My love. Come take me and let me t
ALPHA KING LEO:I'm not weak and I hate it when people see me as such. Because when they do, I tend to prove them wrong.I hate disloyalty, especially from people I was fighting so hard to protect.I folded my arms across my chest as I proceeded to walk majestically into a room with little or no decorations.Every Alpha had a torture, where truths were being told. If such Alpha didn't believe your truth in that torture room, then you'd be as good as dead and those screams that erupt from torture are not getting anywhere past the four walls of the room.I am on my way to show the ruthless side of me to one of my subjects and I am not looking back.I would have left everything to Ethan to handle because some things were too degrading for me to do, but this woman was the one who tried to poison me and I've got to go handle her myself.I walked into the place and I put up my right hand in the air, signaling Ethan to stop with whatever it was he was doing.I needed to get done with this, s
AVA:"Who do you think is responsible for this?" Leo asked,"Could it be that it's the same person who killed Aria that sent that woman to come poison me?" He added and I shook my head in the negative."Honestly, I have no idea." I watched him take my hands, leading us away when I gently pulled my hand away and said, "I'm sorry for preventing you from killing the woman that tried poisoning you. You must have wanted to kill her."I watched him smile before he put his both hands into his pants pocket and made a small smile."You shouldn't be sorry. Then, I should be thanking you instead. I figured out something in the way you think. It's a wise method and I think I would adopt it too. You made me understand that not everything ended in immediate destruction. We all have to use diplomacy at some point to gain more. If I had killed her, then, I wouldn't be able to use her. Then, again, you burned down a whole house without anyone raising an eyebrow that you did it. That way, you didn't ha
AVA:I woke the next morning to the sound of a knock on my door.It wasn't anything like the usual knock of a visitor on your door, this one was aggressive, so aggressive that it got my head pounding.I didn't bother asking who was at the door because whoever was at the door must be lacking in reasoning for knocking this way.Last I checked, I didn't owe anyone, so I shrugged and opened the door, wondering what might have gone wrong."You! Who the hell do you think you are to let my child die like that? Aria was in your fucking, why did you let her die, huh? Eh, childless woman!" A certain woman screamed, jumping at me.I backed away or my face would have been scratched by her elongated nail. Or should I say that if not for the man who had held her by the waist, I would have been writhing in pain by now?The pain and veins in her eyes, neck, and head said all about how she felt about Aria's death.I hadn't seen the woman all my life but from what I could deduce, I tell that she was the
AVA:I sucked in a deep breath and went to check the door just to make sure it was locked."I'll tell you everything but you have to promise me two things. One, you won't breathe a word of this to anyone, and two, you'll have to be on my side from now henceforth."In response to what I had just said, Sarah nodded her head.I frowned slightly. "Say it with your mouth. I want to hear it.""Yes. Yes, I'll do whatever you want. Just tell me what I want to hear. I can't bear the fact that my daughter's murderer is walking around free while my daughter is six feet down." She said and I smiled."Before your daughter died, she wanted to speak to me but because of how busy everything has been with us this past few days, I haven't been able to communicate with her. I never knew she wanted to say something so serious." I paused to look at Sarah and she was paying rapt attention."She wanted to tell me that Damien was cheating on me." I dropped the bombshell and Sarah who was leaning forward, imme
AVA:The reason I didn't know Sarah's name earlier was because she didn't regard me and she had never spoken to me directly. In family gatherings, I was pushed to the side once something important was about to be spoken.But I was their workaholic Luna. Always supporting their brother during wars and supporting in every other way I could, except, of course, giving birth."I'm sorry Ava but I'm in your shoes too. My husband abuses me and I am worth nothing in his eyes too. You could inquire from my maid and she would tell you how I am being treated in my home. Luckily enough, I make sure to hide the sight of my physical violence from Aria. I didn't want her to see her father as bad or even have a made view of men when she grew up.But then, last month, my mate came home drunk. So he didn't care that he was hitting me in front of Aria. Aria would always cry and ask me if it hurt because my eyes almost got ruined. If water touches my eyes right now, you'll see that my skin there is a me
