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:Audrey was thrown into a state of turmoil. Yes, she had initiated the idea of Damien joining the rogues to attack the Blood Crescent pack, but she hadn't expected that it would turn out this way. Of course, no pack in their right senses would agree to go fight the Alpha King.Damien wasn't back yet and the last she heard of him was in the morning when he was stepping out of the house.He had told her that he would come home with the trophy. But now, he was nowhere to be seen. Although Audrey was worried that Damien hadn't yet come back home, it was not because she cared even a little about Damien, it was because she needed to hear that everything was okay on her side. in other words, nothing was going to come for her.She had sent out men to go and get some news on what was going on with Damien but all of them had returned, saying the same thing - they had not seen Damien there and there was no trace of him.Audrey who hadn't expected such an answer was afraid. If Damie
AUTHOR'S POV:In a slightly but stylishly decorated room, a fire was lit in one corner to warm up the room. Damien took his seat a little distance from the fire to keep war.Audrey was beside him, dabbing at his wound with medicine."What is going on, Audrey? Who was that man I saw you with the other day?" Damien asked Audrey, narrowing his eyes at her.He saw the way he looked at her, and that was why he had almost felt disappointed in Audrey, but now he was doubting his decision to believe Audrey because of who she was."Huh, a man, did you see me with a man?" Audrey either pretended to be confused or did not know what he was talking about. "The man who said he was the new gardener. I haven't seen him here before. It's been a week now and he isn't even here after the first appointment. Why is that so?" Damien asked and looked up at Audrey who was standing. Audrey stopped dabbing at his wound.Audrey thought of the best way to avoid the dilemma that was presented to her and she decid
AVA:I stared at an unmoving Leo and wondered what might have happened to him at that fight.The arrow must have been poisoned because there's no other explanation for what must have happened.Tears slid down my eyes for the hundredth time and I had no idea what to do. This has been going on for a few weeks. I'd just changed what I was wearing and joined him there. I would be staring at him but my eyes were too heavy to contain their tears.The last time, his fingers moved and I had hoped that he would wake up sooner but after that, there has been no sign of life in him.In fact, the doctor has concluded that if he didn't wake up soon, then he might as well, never wake up, and that is what I am afraid of the most.The arrow was poisoned with wolfsbane and now, I didn't know what to do to rescue the situation.Everything that was happening felt so surreal, yet, I was hoping against hope that everything would be fine, and trust me, that hoping isn't easy at all.I went closer to him and
AVA:Vision floating through a dark alleyway, I saw blood stains spilled almost everywhere.Everywhere was so dark, and it made my hair stand on end.I tried to make sense of what was happening all around me...why there was so much blood.While I was still looking around, I heard a scream from the far end of the hallway. Following the sound, I tiptoed in order not to attract any attention and when I got there, with the aid of my sharp eyes, I saw Diana."Help, please help me. Anyone! Don't let me die like this." Diana cried out for help with a horrifying look on her face.Her captor looked back but it was as though I wasn't being seen or I was invincible.I tried to reach out to Diana but the more I tried, the more I was brought back to reality."Ava!" Someone was yelling in my ear and shaking my arm.I frowned, "You didn't have to do that.""Are you alright? Your visions don't usually take that long. That's why I got so worried that something might have happened to you." Leo held my s
AVA:When I got to Blue Crest pack, I saw Audrey standing beside Damien.To think that she was getting closer to Damien even in public, after I had left was so shameful.It was such a bad thing that she had to be present each time a gross evil happened.I walked up to them. Shock greeted their faces.Damien looked like someone who badly wanted to punch my face but was unable to. He clenched his fist but stood fixed on the spot.Perhaps, each time he saw me, he was reminded that I had humiliated him. One's Luna rejecting their Alpha spoke a lot about the Alpha in the Blue Crest pack and beyond the werewolf kingdom. It meant that the Alpha was a bad mate and the worst-behaved.So perhaps, when word must have spread that I rejected Damien, he must have been defamed the more.He was wrong to think that I would help him repair his name and clean up his mess just like I used to do in the past. No, I wouldn't do that even if I had a gun to my head. At least, not after all that he put me throu
