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
Aiva's POV He came to scare me. I shouldn't let this idiot get to me. I already won this competition and I'm strong enough to fight for myself. I shouldn't let him see my fear so he won't see an opportunity to do anything again. I walked into the changing room and changed. There weren't many people in the changing room since most of them were eliminated during the matches. I actually made it to the final, I know most at the academy still find it hard to believe. After changing, I made my way outside because the driver would be waiting for me. I wouldn't get into just any car like I did the last time because I have sighted my enemy. I wouldn't call him my fear because he's the one who refuses to show his face to me and not the other way around. At least if I'm going to die, I should see the reason why I'm dying right?It's too bad he is such a coward who would only hide in the dark. The car stopped in front of me and I indeed confirmed it was the driver. He rushed down to help me w
Aiva's POVFor him to be able to send someone like Caleb something like that, who could be be? Is he someone close by or someone who just has dirt on Caleb? Someone with a big ego like Caleb could not have accepted just like that. "Who the hell are you? Show your pathetic self to me!" I yelled at him. He killed my parents and tried to kill my brother and I. Now he's causing chaos all in the name of wanting me. I feel like he is the main villain I should be focused on and not other people. "Fake a guess darling. Who do you think I am?" He asked me and I just scoffed. "Why does it matter who you are? You're just a nobody who doesn't know his place." I insulted him and I could hear nothing for a few seconds. I think what I said got to him. Maybe that's something he hates to hear the most? A nobody. "I'm closer to you than you might think. What makes you think I can't do anything to you when you're acting like this?" "Do whatever you want. I don't care. You already confessed to try
