Aiva's POV"Maybe things are just not meant to work between us," I said to him after a moment of silence. I can't believe I am carrying his child right now. Things escalated quicker than I thought. I didn't think about the fact that I could get pregnant at this point. "Stop saying this to me Aiva! You're going to hurt my feelings because of something I said to you? How long are you planning to punish me for this?" He sounded more frustrated than before. I felt bad but I just couldn't get over it. Maybe I should disappear from his life so everything will go back to its original place. "Leo...""I said you were insecure but you saw me regret saying that immediately. I couldn't forgive myself since and I won't be able to do it for the rest of my life. It's punishment enough for me, you don't have to punish me more."I sighed, "I'm not trying to punish you. I just... I don't know. This is all too much for me. Maybe I should just take a break and go back to my old life." "How long Aiv
Chapter 111Aiva's POVI just finished training for the last match which is the final. For the past few days, Leo has been monitoring me a lot and won't let me do anything stressful at all. He kept bothering me about the training though he tried to help me. "Here. Drink this. The baby is going to need a lot of nutrition since you are stressing yourself already." He gave me an energy drink he made himself. I collected it from him and drank it. "Thanks a lot." "You don't have to thank me. This is all for you and the baby, I can do more than this. I just want you both to be okay." He replied. I sighed, "I'm a bit nervous about the competition. I don't know who my opponent is and his moves are unpredictable." He nodded, "There's nothing to worry about. I can assure you that he's not going to be a problem for you. He might be hiding but he's not that great."I don't know how sure Leo is about this but he seems to be serious. Could he know who this mysterious person is? I feel like thi
Leo's POVWatching them argue made me cautious because I didn't want anything to stress Aiva or the baby. I don't know what kind of trouble Cassie got herself into now. Accepting to be a slave? How stupid is she?I also know Emilia is not the kind of person to easily let someone go once she sets her eyes on them. She hates slavery but there are a lot of people learning their lesson from her as slaves. "Why are you yelling at her Cassie?" Emilia asked her, "We have a lot of witnesses and she tried to stop you but you let your hatred get the better of you."Cassie continued to hide behind Alpha Jasper and he couldn't get her off him. He tried everything but she just held on to him tighter. "Just let me go and go with them. You looked down on her and Aiva, you caused this upon yourself." Jasper told Cassie. Cassie shook her head, "You can't do this to me. I have a long way to go! I'm your only mate! It took you this long to find me and you're just going to throw it away?"Aiva scoffed
Aiva's POV I can't believe someone like Cassie gets to be forgiven yet I wasn't forgiven for being who I am. It's not even my fault that I was born like this but it's Cassie's fault she is that way yet she gets to be forgiven easily? I hope Jasper is not serious about taking her in as his Luna. "Aiva!" Leo called as he stopped me at the stairs. He pulled me into a hug without asking me anything and I ended up crying. "Why are you crying? You don't need to be crying over this." He said while trying to console me. I sniffled, still hugging him. "I don't know... After everything she did to me, how can you just live easily like that. If I couldn't heal fast, I would probably be dead by now." I mean, what did I ever do wrong? I'm still facing that same criticism and it won't even change because I have a baby. But people who bully others can easily get to start over again?"I'm sorry Aiva. I wasn't there for you when all that happened and I apologize. I can't believe I called you insec
Leo's POV Today is the last competition day and I'm nervous as hell. I don't know what's going to happen aside from what I predicted. I know people are really hard to please and I don't want anything to happen to her. "Alpha... I have checked all the whole area for any funny events but there's none in sight. I left my men around to check whatever happens." Reed explained to me. I nodded, "That's good. Just keep an eye out. I'm not going to let anyone tamper with this match again."I saw a lot of people from my pack arriving at the same time. I know they're all here to mock her and honestly, they just made things worse for themselves because I'm never going to stop insulting them for being disrespectful to my Luna. Everyone begged me yesterday and they all sent different messages but I didn't answer them. I heard they're threatening to protest in front of my pack house for days just to stop my decision. If they think this is all they need to send me into a frenzy, they are wrong.
Aiva's POV It was Caleb all along and I had to act like I didn't know at first because I wanted him to think he won. What did I do to find out it was him? It was simple. I had to connect the dots together to find out. I happened to see him training somewhere in the woods when I went for a run. I stopped to look at him. I didn't know why he was training but I first thought he was doing it to be stronger than Leo. FLASHBACK"Whoa..." I hid somewhere watching Caleb fight with some men and I saw how he was training hard. "He's working so hard just to bring Leo down and he's still unable to do anything to Leo. He's such an idiot." I muttered and was about to leave when I heard their conversation. "Alpha Caleb, do you really need to train so hard for someone that insignificant?" They asked him. Did that dumbass just say Leo is insignificant? How daring must they be to say things like that? I bet they can't even say it in front of Leo. "Because you can't underestimate anyone. Y
Aiva's POVThe speechless look on his face made him look ridiculous. Did he actually think blackmailing me was going to work? Who gave him that stupid idea?"Did you just tell me to go to hell? How dare you?" He yelled and slapped my face. "CALEB!" Leo shouted, trying to break from all the people holding him. "Stop!" I yelled at Leo and he stopped struggling. I pushed Caleb off and crawled over to his side. He touched my face, seeing how red it was with the injuries. "Don't be mad. You know this is only temporary. I heal fast enough for this to go on time." I assured him. "This is way too much for me to handle. Why won't you listen to me and leave? Come with me for crying out loud." He demanded. I shook my head, "You need to stop. I'm not doing this at this point to fail. I need to stop him." "I can do that. I can bring him to check. Just–""Please Leo... Don't insist on stopping me or I will see it as an insult. If you respect me at least, you're going to trust me for once and
Aiva's POV It's over. The whole thing and the ridicule is over. I've been suffering for long because of how weak I was and everyone though I wasn't worth looking at. I wonder how they're going to feel now that they know I won everything. I watched as everyone gave me a standing ovation and cheered for me. I felt victorious and on top of the world but it wasn't comfortable. I achieved what I wanted yet I felt empty. Maybe because the reason I did this still wouldn't be possible for me or the fact that things only got worse when I only wanted to fix things. But still, I never thought I would be able to defeat someone like Caleb. I have come so far. By this time last year, I never saw myself in a position like this. I was always doting on Lucas and failed to see my worth. I'm not going to let anyone define my worth ever again. The announcer walked up to me while I was still trying to catch my breath. I watched Caleb getting carried away, it was such a sight to see. "Congratulation
