AvaThe morning sickness became a daily routine. Today, I snuck out when the other slave girls were not watching to empty my stomach in the bushes. It wasn't very ladylike and it certainly wasn’t smart – but no one noticed me leaving the slave house or even questioning where I had been going. I gagged as my throat burned, my eyes watering with every retch I made, I bent over and threw up again. I tried not to think about who would hear and or see.I just had to be fast about it. When I was done, I straightened up immediately and when I turned to leave, I saw him standing near a stump, staring at me with unblinking eyes. My heart skipped a beat. That’s impossible - my eyes widened.My feet refused to move. I had managed to be caught by their leader.“Ava” His voice was firm , authoritative. His face looked calm and collected, almost as if he weren't looking at someone trying to hide whatever she had going on.I swallowed hard. No way of getting out of this without revealing everythin
LeonIt had been weeks and I was yet to know what my fate was by the council. I saw Mother when I was asleep, no, I saw her eyes. They were scared and it stirred something inside of me, a feeling that made me feel sick to my stomach.I woke up and I couldn't get the image out of my head. So I gently pushed my duvet away. My heart pounded like mad against my rib cage and sweat trickled down my back. There was some kind of nightmare or vision playing in my mind. I left the room and walked through the hallway down towards Mother's room.Her bed was well laid and it didn't look like someone had slept on it There was no sign of the blankets being twisted or anything like that, the room seemed perfectly neat. The lights on the side table were turned off and everything else seemed normal.I moved to the gardens and everywhere else I could think of that might have roofed her but I found nothing.Her scent was still in the air but barely, it was faint - weak as a pulse.Nothing.The naggi
Unknown POVI still watched them waiting patiently for when to hatch my plan on them but no time seemed perfect enough, they were fighting and making up immediately and it happened too fast for me to do anything.So I focused on chaos- creating chaos.I needed to work with the distraction so I attacked those unsuspecting children, leaving them dead in the woods.I saw what their death did to the Lycans, I watched how overworked they were about it. They searched all areas and looked for all signs but all I did was laugh.I could only laugh, there was no way they were going to find me, no way.I could tell how infuriated their King was and the people had this permanent look of fear in their eyes, they were unsure of so many things and it gladdened my heart.I ran through the woods looking for what to haunt but it seemed that all had gone into hiding.That was when I saw her, going through the woods, her blonde hair that was not so different from the spoilt brat's own moving in any direc
AvaIt was dark and I was with Maria. She held me close to her chest, running a thumb along the scar on my cheek while I snuggled into the warmth of the embrace she had stolen from a lonely corner. “What are you here Ava” She asked when she pulled away, looking at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. The darkness only emphasized how warm her eyes were even more than usual, making it hard to see what exactly she looked like, but I had come up with a few possibilities. “I came to see you, aren't you happy to see me?” My voice sounded so tiny in comparison to hers. I tried not to be embarrassed about it but the fact that the world had gotten smaller and I could hear nothing was still kind of surprising.She laughed and placed two hands on my shoulders, “Of course I am! How could I not be? But the king?”“What about him?”As if on cue, the Lycan king entered, and when his eyes met mine, I froze.I could see anger and agony on his face, and I could feel his rage and hatred t
Ava“What are you doing?” Rosalie snapped at me with disgust. It was already my second day here and she had asked me to clean.The dust played with my nostrils, causing me to sneeze. I could hear her scoff. I was tired, I could feel exhaustion in every muscle of my body. I was hungry, I was thirsty. It all just combined into an overwhelming feeling of annoyance as the day went on. The room I was asked to clean was old and smelled horrible, it felt like there were mold spores floating about. “I was trying to catch my breath, I will continue now” I huffed in reply, not bothering to look at her. I knew what she would do if she caught me trying to lie. ‘You dirty liar’ would be the only thing that came out of her mouth. It wasn’t very creative, but it served the purpose well enough for her. “There wouldn't be room for laziness. You are full of excuses, now hurry up ” She gritted out. Her voice seemed so cold, so bitter, I couldn't help feeling intimidated. She was a woman who seemed
LeonThe council were a group of faceless people. We barely saw their faces as their chairs were always turned back to us. Those who managed to kept their mouths shut, it was something sacrosanct.Stories were told that they were the first of our kind, only that they didn't age. It was said that they moved from Italy to this country in order to help their kind progress more, to create better societies for our people. That they had traveled through the sea and mountains in order to arrive here.Once the council had sent for you, it was believed that your offenses were not minor matters, that if your transgressions warranted execution, then so be it. That morning I set out, mother looked at me and looked away from me, almost like she couldn't stand the sight of me. She wasn't worried about my being killed or anything like that, it seemed that she cared nothing if anyone died, that she wanted it to be over with before any of the pain began.I went with my beta and two guards.At the
