Ava's POV

Those words caused me to freeze as I stared at him. I broke out in a cold sweat from the intensity of his gaze. It was almost like he was staring through me.

"What are you scared of?" he asked calmly. "I simply asked a question."

"I'm not scared," I retorted, trying to keep my voice calm.

He chuckled.

"I am called a Demon for a reason, Elora. I have instilled enough fear in people to tell when one young lady is scared. I can smell your fear, Elora."

"I am not scared," I repeated. "And I owe you no explanation."

"That's weird," he smiled. "Last time I checked, I was your Alpha. You owe me whatever I say you do."

"Is it that weird to value my own life?" I hissed. "Dying hurts. You don't know what it's like. The pain is overwhelming. Is it weird that I do not want to experience that again, as I was closest to?" I asked, hoping I sounded believable.

He stared at me for a few seconds and shrugged.

"You could have said so earlier."

He turned away from me and headed deeper into th

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    Epilogue: Ava's Legacy

    The Moon Goddess appeared to Vera in her dreams. She laughed bitterly."You envied the scar... so I give it to your daughter," she whispered. "Let her suffer as Ava did."Just then Vera jolted awake in a loud scream, clutching her abdomen. A sudden warmth rushed down her legs, and she gasped, realizing what was happening."Vera—what's it?" Kael's voice was sharp as he sat beside her."I... I had a terrible dream," she muttered, then winced gain in excruciating pain."I think it's time," Vera hissed as she held onto his hand."Time for what?" Kael asked, his eyes wide."The pup is on its way... god damn it," she snapped.Soon the midwives poured into the room, their voices calm, a contrast to the chaos in Vera's mind. Kael remained in the corner, his hands clenching. Time seemed to stretch as hours ran into each other, until, finally, a little desperate cry cut through the air."It's a girl!" one of the midwives beamed, placing the newborn in Vera's trembling hands. The little one's sk

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    Eternal, You And I

    Author's POV"Lucas, it's time for breakfast," the tired-looking maiden sighed, flipping over the bed covers.Aria, still catching her breath, frowned. "Found him?""He's not here either," Clara replied, scanning the room. "We need to find him before the Luna wakes.""Lyanna will kill us for such, if he's missing again," Aria muttered."That boy has been up to some mischief or another ever since he could walk," Clara said with a weary smile. "Is the Luna awake?" She turned to Aria."She's out with Ma'am Lyanna and Hannah for a morning walk. We need to find him before they return.""I don't know why he can't be like his twin sister... Lyra is no trouble," Aria added."Are you talking about the crown prince in that manner!?" a voice erupted from behind.The maids jumped, their faces red, as they saw Dravin holding their little son in his arms. Lucas laughed and wiggled as his father walked further into his room."Got you," he smiled at the ladies who had been tirelessly searching for hi

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    Reunited Hearts

    Vivian's POVThe morning sun fell over the windows, casting a warm glow across the room. It’s been a day now since Elora left."Jude, Juliet, come over here, darling," I said sweetly, sitting opposite Corvin. He looked uneasy, with his fingers twisting together as he awaited their first words to him."Good morning, Alpha Corvin," Juliet's voice resounded slowly. Jude, however, hid behind his sister, peeking at Corvin cautiously."Awwn, what a cute girl you are," Corvin smiled warmly as he spread out his hands to her. "You look just as beautiful as your mother.""No," Juliet frowned, shaking her head slightly. "Mother is beautiful... but she said I'm more beautiful."Corvin smiled as he looked my way.I smiled, my chest tightening. "Yes honey, you are the prettiest princess alive," I said softly.I turned to Jude, crouching slightly. "Come say hi, sweetheart."His small legs shuffled forward, sharp but hesitant. "Hey man... why are you shy?" Corvin asked, his voice gentle."Because I'm

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    A Love Strong Enough To End A Curse

    Dravin's POVNow I finally understood what that damn goddess meant when she said she was going to take away something important from me.I sighed as I looked up the sky. I knew why Elora wanted to go back to BloodMoon Pack—it had to be for revenge. I had done my findings. And the BloodMoon Alpha and Luna sure did look like Karl and her sister, Jenna from her past life as Irikah.Did they treat her so badly in her second life as Ava? If I was being honest, Elora had it pretty bad. First as Irikah, then Ava. I only wished she could just let go of the past and live her life fully as Elora.Morning soon dawned, and we picked up our belongings. Elora spent some time with Alpha Vivian, while I, with Corvin. It turns out he was actually a nice wolf, and I was glad to see how beautifully they’d rebuilt their walls."I could send in some of my men to come do the same in Sulk Pack if you don't mind?" Corvin said, as I stared at a magnificent piece of house built with pure rocks."I must admit t

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    Love Without A Safety Net

    Ava's POV"I can see you are still hell-bent on making those who made your past life a living hell pay for their crimes?" Her voice—also a memory stuck to my brain—cut through the air.I exhaled slowly as I got comfortable with the change of environment. The garden smelled of wet grass and jasmine."I have seen too much the influence revenge has on people to want to take one," I said, walking in the garden she had placed me in. The memory of Avala's words lingering in my mind."Then are you going back to BloodMoon?" she pressed."To be sincere, I hurt them more than they deserved in my first life," I admitted."They did same in your second," she added."And that is why I want to set everything straight in my third, and hopefully my last. I really don't want to be reborn again."Her voice lightened. "Interesting. So you want to go and apologize?""Well, that seems like the right thing to do." I nodded, watching the beautiful glowing moon that had set itself upon the soft orange sky."T

  • COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS    Between Grief And Destiny

    Ava's POVI had never felt pain like this, holding Avala’s lifeless body. She still felt very warm to me, despite the blood that flowed.I was glad she was able to clear her name before her death. And Vivian was reunited with her kids. That, at least, was blissful.But I would miss her… I already did."I'm sorry, Luna. She will be buried tonight," Lyanna mentioned as she walked into my room.Corvin and his men were able to set up a decent tent on short notice. I nodded at her words as I curled tighter to my pillow."You need to eat, Luna. Avala wouldn’t want you to neglect yourself," Lyanna pouted, sitting beside me.I forced a weak smile as tears rushed down my face."You need to keep your pups healthy—for yourself and your future," she added."I will eat, Lyanna," I whispered, "but please let me mourn a little first.""Fine, Luna. But I won’t hear ‘no’ the next time I come here. Avala is gone and won't come back."I couldn’t help but snicker at her last words. "Can't you at least tr
