AVA:I quickly walked up to Damien's office. When I got nearer, I was sure everything was no longer the same because of the way everything looked from the outside.I pushed past through the door when no one would answer my incessant knocks on the door. I gasped at the sight around me. Everything was a mess and everything breakable had already been broken. "What have you come to do here? Have you come to destroy and cause more harm than you have already done?" Damien asked and I could hear the bitterness in his voice.Even though we were alone, I didn't know what gave me the confidence to say what I said, but I said it anyway."No, I'm here to finish off from where I started. There's no need to regret making me come here when you asked for it. What do you want me to do?" I asked, Damien didn't think he could break me, did he? I am not going to bend backward because Damien was trying to make me feel afraid.Damien threw me to the wolves and now, I have come back leading the pack and h
AUTHOR'S POV:Audrey walked around the hallway, somehow walking back and forth as though she were looking for someone.Pamela walked by. She was holding a basket of folded clothes and proceeding into her mistress, Audrey's room when Audrey drew her back by the shoulder.When Pamela wanted to scream for help, Audrey covered her mouth until she was shushed into knowing it was Audrey who held her.Pulling Pamela into a room, Audrey slapped her hard on the cheek, causing Pamela to hold her cheeks in painful surprise.Just before Pamela could utter any word of complaint, Audrey beat her to it."How the hell does everyone know that I'm pregnant? I told you to keep those garments, where are they.""I have no idea Ma'am. I only did as you asked. I kept watch, and only once I didn't keep watch when you asked me to go deliver a message. I have no idea what happened to the garment and I haven't spilled a word of this to anyone." The moment those words departed from Pamela's lips, Audrey slapped
AVA:I have been looking for an opportunity to reject Damien. Not just any opportunity but a pain-filled one.My visions aren't acting up anymore or I would have known the perfect time to do what I've always wanted to do.When I remembered what Billie had told me to do for her, I shrugged and sighed softly. I had to do what I had already promised and I wasn't going to be a killjoy for her.Well, the fact that my life wasn't all that glamorous didn't mean that I would let it be for others. Billie was with a good man and she deserved to be happy.So I walked up to Alpha Leo He was busy examining some papers in front of him."My love, what are you doing here?" Leo was surprised to see me. Perhaps, he thought that I was going to take long before Damien would let me go out of the pack.Well, if I am to confess, I had left Blue Crest pack to come here, through my means. Left to Damien, I was going nowhere because I had wreaked enough havoc."I'm here because I wanted to come see you," I sa
AUTHOR'S POV:The moment Ava left Diana, tears slid down her cheeks. Although Diana felt consoled, she felt like Ava didn't really understand her.Those encouraging words hit really good and hard, but right now, she was overthinking everything.Diana thought that maybe, her boyfriend, one of the pack warriors might have left her alone because she wasn't as rich as the other woman.Diana had this conviction in her heart that her doting boyfriend jilting her, had something to do with this class or calibre thing, whatever it was called.Diana was so sure he loved her but perhaps, when he found someone who was better, he chose the better. Once the mind found something better, it didn't usually rest till it had possessed it.Diana walked back and forth, her hands to her chin. She was thinking of how to get rich. If only she was rich, her boyfriend wouldn't have left her for someone apparently better.Diana thought of everything, and there was nothing that could make her rich. She couldn't
AVA:I wanted so much to listen and hear the excuse Audrey had to give for killing the child of another when she had none. Wa it going to be reasonable. Was it going to justify her actions or it was plain going to deny the assumption that she killed Ariana?"It wasn't really in the night but ay the wee hours of the morning. LI was drunk and not in my right senses. I could remember trying to catch her from falling right off that height but she fell before I could grab her. I had rushed down below in that drunken state but then she was already dead. As I tried to shake her to see if there was still any sign of life in her, her blood stained my clothes. I was too scared to say anything to anyone, and I didn't want to be blamed for Aria's death, so I went home immediately after. On the afternoon of that day, her death was reported and you arrived on that noon." Audrey said, and when she was done talking, she was breathing in deeply, as though trying to fill her lungs with more oxygen to
ALPHA KING LEO:The moment I saw Ava coming towards me with tears in her eyes and items of luggage in her hands, I knew she had made the big decision to leave Damien. It hadn't been easy at all.From the day I saw that cut on her hand since the first time, it hadn't been easy for me too. It took so much willpower to keep my raging heart, and Tiger, my inner wolf calm. Immediately she saw me, she ran towards me and I spread out my hands to welcome her in a smoldering hug. She ran into my arms and I carried her up, hugging her with every emotion in me.Ava was a strong woman who had gone through a lot and a lot had been done against her. I thank goodness that she made it alive. Each day, I was more than worried that Damien would abuse her to death or worse still, make her hate good men like me."You did it. You're one brave woman I love and admire. No one's gonna hurt you anymore. No, I won't let anyone hurt you.""I'm glad I'm here in your arms. This is the place I've ever wanted to b
AVA:I was going to walk the whole place without a red face and an embarrassing smile because Leo and I had kissed in front of his mother. Crazy right?I have no idea why Leo isn't feeling the same way as me and I envy that he is walking with his head held up high.Was I the only one being coy?The moment we entered a room in Leo's house he turned me around and made me have my back to the door."I want you to know that I've been waiting for this moment all my life. The moment I'll have to kiss all your breath away." His hot breath fanned my neck as he whispered, sending tingles down my belly. He delved his tongue deep into my mouth and my legs almost turned to jelly from how tenderly he held me. As we kissed his hands roamed my body. Moving from my waist to other parts of my body.My inner wolf almost died of excitement. She was so excited that I was finally doing this with the one I love and not merely clattering my teeth like I used to do with Damien.Even the thought of Damien irr
AVA:Leo has taught me how to defend myself when I was in a position like this, but he dared to die on me. The mere fact that Leo wasn't alive, ringing in my head rendered me immobile and helpless.Like I had told him before, Leo was my strength and the reason why I felt so good. He was the reason why I never succumbed and now, this?What was I supposed to do when Leo died? Would I still have the strength to live?So I lay down there, watched, and did nothing when Damien kept coming closer. Just as his finger was about to touch me, he fell backward, someone had hit him from behind.Immediately, I got up and lo and behold, Leo was behind him. The arrow was still fixed in his chest area."Leo!" I screamed and rushed to Leo, but before I could move so much, Leo collapsed on his knees. I was beside him the next second when I held his hand as he was about to collapse with the arrow still there."Please hold on, and you'll be okay," I said trying hard to wrap my arms around the bloody area.
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
