Ava’s Pov
I could hear the battle drums beating impatiently as I stood tall in my spot.
In my hands was my sword. While at the side of my foot was a dagger.
Knight Lydia stood at distance, with a look of delinquency on her features.
“You could just walk out and wait for the day, you know.”
My wolf calmly suggested.
“Of what use? Still amounts to combating Knight Lydia.”
I spat at her, taking a hold of my sword and lifting it up, remembering Master Zu’s words.
“More stubborn than I expected.” she retorted.
Looking around, I could see Francesca and Cicilia’s devious glances. She demonstrated a look of elimination with her hands slicing through her neck as a blade would.
I scoffed immediately.
I wasn’t dying easily if that’s what they both thought.
“So tell me pawn, why would you risk your life and com
I apologize for the late updates 💞
Every pawn, including Tania and Satandra, clapping cheerfully at my victory. I could swear I saw it all in slow motion. To think they’ll be happy for my victory, after trying to eliminate me. Just how possible was that? “We won, Ava.” My wolf rushed out, saying. “Yes, we did.” I muttered instantly. “We did win,” I repeated. “Thanks to you wolf.” Even if Knight Lydia currently bled to death on the floor, no one came to her rescue. It was all part of the game. I mean, that could have been me? Dropping a part of my torn piece of cloth, I bowed down to pay my last respect. “I felt her push my limits.” My wolf added. “She was a good warrior,” I nodded at her statement, as I walked back clothed in blood with my piece of armor disheveled. “You’re right. She was indeed skillful.” “We’ll never forget her.” she retorted. Piper and Emily rushed to hug m
My eye brows cringed as I wondered what was going on between them both. Felicia looked so angry as she walked away from Rook Francesca. I shifted in my spot, when she cussed out loud, stomping her feet angrily. “This can’t be right.” I told myself, wondering. Could Francesca be up to no good again? Was she planning to eat from her? Oh no… I had to do something. The moment these thoughts imprinted on my mind; my hands reached for the door. I hastily walked out of my room, only for my gaze to connect to Francesca’s. “Lovely day, isn’t it?” I sarcastically said, waving to her with a look of mockery with my chin up. “Stay away from my business, Ava.” she snorted, before jamming the door shut. Her business? I wouldn’t be staying away if I wanted to see the girls alive. I ran after Felicia, but she was too fast
Tania’s Pov Was raised as a brutal child. My village, Blood of Ferals, renown for being fast and dangerous warriors ate mostly meat. It was to be really strong. My parents were respectful villagers, who sadly passed away on the same day. It was one of the attacks and I was so little. I remember thinking they’ll actually come back, laugh and pat my head. Telling me it was a silly joke. They never did. My grandma took it from there. “Listen, kid.” she’d say. “There are two kinds of people in this world.” “People that care. And people that don’t give a fuck.” “You decide the one you’d be.” Grandma was more like a badass. She'd wear an eye-patch like a pirate and smoke leaves to make her thoughts disappear. I didn’t know what she tried to forget, but whatever it was certainly wasn’t good. Grandma worked with the sea, selling illegal goods. When she was however free, sh
Ava’s Pov Sometimes… Just sometimes… Some things happened out of the blue. Could be a particular thing you could never have guessed or expected. This was simply one of those moments for me. Frozen on my spot, I was appalled as to why they were intimate with each other. “T-Tania?” I unknowingly let out. Felt so embarrassed, from seeing it all, yet in shock. At my voice, they untangled from each other. Their eyes, ridden in fear and a look of somewhat confusion. Two different large thuds rippled around the bathroom, as they bowed down hastily. “Please forgive us, Knight Ava… please forgive us!” They both chorused at the same time, with their faces kissing the floor. “You both…w-what are you doing?” I asked, after inhaling. My thoughts were presently scattered in disarray. “I know we are enemies,” Tania started off. “And we hate
“Now I’m no virgin. The beast had me, but wants more.” “This is my fate and it has been sealed.” – Ava Goodchild … “I want you.” Caspian purred out. “To bear my pups as my mate.” Closing it off with a kiss. I closed my eyes, taking in the sensation of his hands roaming over my body. His angelic voice and dark long hair sweeping across his face beautifully. All like a magical fantasy. “Do you want it too? Do you want me?” he asked. That was it. I didn’t know. I didn’t know what I wanted anymore. “I missed you, Caspian.” I replied truthfully. Totally ignoring his questions. “I miss you.” I woke up in my room, with my eyes coated around my tears. It must have been from the dream I had. And perhaps, my body’s way of saying it craved our mate. Ever since the tournament with Lydia, he won’t talk to me. N
“You’re two weeks pregnant, Lady Ava.” Those words brought me back fully to reality, the minute I woke up. At first, I found myself blushing extensively after remembering the night I spent with the beast. And how his beast took over, when he inserted his desire in me. Of how I struggled, but he held my two arms to my back. “I-I am? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” I let out, asking. “It could just be a reaction from the fight tournament with Lydia a few days ago.” I said, wondering if the beast was right in his words. Did he sense it? “Yes, I am very sure. Took the tests thrice, knowing how sensitive this is, in this castle. Congratulations.” he added again. “Congratulations too, milady!” Cassandra said too. From the look of things, it was like she found me when I passed out. Everything was like a dream. I feared this will happen. But didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Brokenness. Scarred. Emptiness. The last time I got a feeling as this, was when my little sister died. Mum lost her senses on what was real and unreal. She became a vegetable. Not reacting to anything of the world. She didn’t even cry. I was the opposite because I would openly sob whenever I got the chance to. Moses would comfort me with sweet words, that my little sister got peace by dying. Even though he older than me with a couple of years, he never acted like it. Maybe that was why I gained feelings for him, back then. “Caspian…” I trailed on my words after settling him on the bed. But it was like he couldn’t even hear me. “Caspian!” He looked at me, with his silver-grey eyes encrypted with bewilderment. It seemed like he was afraid, of something. It made me wonder a lot. What was he afraid of? “You just made a mistake, Ava.” he mouthed off drifting away from me and walking
Letting those words out, made me relax. I felt glad that someone would actually listen to my past without judging me. When I remembered Caspian however, it broke my heart into shreds. He definitely thought bad of me, after what happened earlier. I didn’t even mean to cause these amounts of damage, if only he would listen. I hoped this misunderstanding stopped soon. My wolf missed him a lot. I missed him too. “Look who we have wandering…” someone trailed out. That brought me out of my thoughts, totally bringing myself on guard with a hand stylishly on my belly. “Are you lost, Ava?” Cicilia said in a sly tone, as she walked past me. Her chin high up in the air, dressed in her dancing costume. “Lost? I can’t be Cicilia. From what I see, you’re the one that should be lost.” I breathed out at her. “ Just on my way to see Elder Zu, I bumped into her. Just m
