Aiva's POV I slowly opened my eyes to the light blinding me from the window. I see someone dressed in a maid's uniform going outside. I immediately guessed it must be one of the workers here. I looked beside me and Leo wasn't there. "I guess he already woke up." I said and stretched myself. I sluggishly got of bed with pain in between my legs as I headed for the bathroom. I can't help but think of the night before. Everytime I get reminded, my face becomes potato red. I took my bath and got dressed. I went downstairs to have breakfast, since I woke up a bit late. I didn't see Leo anywhere around the house and I can't help but think he's out handling what happened yesterday. Is he still going to punish them because of what they did to me? Maybe I should plead with him to let them off with a warning. I shouldn't pity them and I don't. I just don't want Leo to have a worse reputation because of this. After having breakfast alone, I went upstairs to take my medicine. Then, I went do
Aiva's POVWhy isn't he saying anything to me? Is he trying to hide something from me after what I did to my brother in order to protect him?"What? You're going to be hiding things from me, then you'll tell me how much you love me right?" I asked him. He shook his head, "Trust me darling, I'm not trying to hide anything from you. It's not what you think I promise." I shifted towards the other side of the bed, "Why won't you tell me where you went? At least you should be able to share things with me, except you're cheating on me."His eyes widened in shock, "what? I'm cheating on you? I mean, of all the things you could think of. Why would you think I'm cheating on you?""That's exactly how you're acting right now? Or did you..." I moved closer to him, staring deep into his eyes. "Did you perhaps go to the elders to punish them?"He seemed tense when I was talking but he relaxed the moment I finished which means this is probably not what he did. He nodded, "I haven't interrogated t
Aiva's POV"What is this about Lucas?" I asked him, folding my arms against my chest. He sighed, "I was so worried about you when I heard you got abducted but... You seem to be fine."I don't know if that's a compliment or a threat. Should I be happy he still cares about me or should I find this fucking creepy that he's still lurking around me even after what I told him. Like, what's his problem? "You sound unhappy to know I escaped. Am I supposed to be worried?" His expression changed to a very shocked one. "That's not true. I'm actually glad you escaped because your boyfriend wouldn't stop bothering me when you got missing.""I mean, you all are suspicious in every way. I'm sorry if that offended you. Now, is there anything else you want to say?" I asked him. He sighed, "Why do you get so mad whenever you see me? I'm not the bad guy here. I promise, I have nothing to do with this.""I never said you did. What I'm wondering is why you are here in this place when I've never been h
Aiva's POV"This is your punishment? Making me release the elders?" He asked for the umpteenth time as we got back to his place. I nodded with full satisfaction, "Yes, thanks for doing it. I thought you wouldn't listen to me."He scoffed and looked away, "I can't believe you're going to let them go like that, after all they did to you. What more do I have to do for you to understand they need the punishment?"I know it sounds stupid that I asked him to release them at the slight opportunity I got but that's what I want. I'm not going to give myself a bad name if I'm going to be with him in the future. "You know, as the Luna, I have to overlook some things and be merciful. If I nitpick everything, I'm going to get everyone killed at this point because they all don't like me." I told him. "So what? Who cares if they don't like you? They'll have to accept even if they don't like it because that's just the way life is. They either accept or jump a bridge." I laughed, "Come on, don't b
Aiva's POVIt's a good thing he finally agreed to teach me how to defend myself. I'm not going to make anyone worry too much about me if I can do this myself. I woke up as early as I could, though I was still under treatment. But I don't want him to change his mind because I'm not even showing interest. I took my bath and changed. I rushed downstairs to have something light before going out with him. I thought he wasn't awake already but I found him downstairs when I arrived. I almost choked on my breath. "What the... Are you already awake? Did you even sleep at all?" I asked in shock. He sighed, "I'm not even allowed to sleep properly because you want to become my student. This is the first time in a long time I'm teaching someone myself. The last person was Reed." I nodded, "I see. That's why he's such an honorable man. I can't wait to learn from you. I promise I learn very fast and I'll do my best to improve.""Don't just make promises. You have to make me believe you with your
Aiva's POV"Luna? Who... Who are you guys?" I asked getting out of Leo's hold. I stared at them suspiciously and they were all tall and fit men. "We are sorry for scaring you Luna but it's orders from the Alpha and we had no other choice but to obey them." The one who seems to be their leader informed me. I looked at Leo still puzzled, "I don't understand. You know them?"He nodded, "These are warriors from the pack. I picked the best of them just so you can train well. I informed them of this route, you're welcome."I didn't know what to say as everything seemed weird to me. Though he's trying to train me, I didn't think he would almost give me a heart attack on the first day like this. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" I pulled him to one side while they waited on the other side. "What's wrong? Do you have objections?" "You should have prepared me for this at least. They scared the shit out of me." I fired at him. "I'm sorry but you wouldn't have been that fast if I told you.
Leo's POVAs soon as they started running, I joined them while running through the trees just to catch up with them. I stopped when I saw someone finally caught her. He was in human form and I quickly recognized the person to be her brother. "Caught you." Jasper said, holding her shoulders. She was surprised, the rest of the warriors stopped and I jumped down from the tree. "Jasper... I mean brother... What are you doing here? How did you find me?" She asked Jasper in shock. Jasper looked at me, "I was invited by your boyfriend... Well... He didn't exactly invite me here but I came anyways."She looked at me, "Why are you just giving me all these surprises in the woods without telling me before?""Will it be a surprise if I told you? Besides, I didn't invite your brother to this session. He totally came on his own which I'm very sure of." I replied her. I remember asking her brother for cooperation yesterday. I quickly met with him while she was asleep at night and had a talk wit
Aiva's POVI am on my way to the academy while having sores all over my body. Even my healing powers can't help me out this time around. I've never had to run this much as I did today. I thought it was going to be a bit easy at first but I'm wrong. Everyone stares at me as I walked inside the academy. Since I've not been here after I was kidnapped, I guess I'm still the center of attention to the whole school. I ignored everyone else and went straight to my class. "She's back? I thought she was dead.""Me too. Who knows if she faked her kidnapping just to be with the alpha?""People like her disgust me. I can't believe we have to go to the same academy as her." I heard them saying different types of things around me but I didn't care. I mean, I still have the Alpha on my side no matter what happens. I'm beginning to think Cassie and her gang must be behind this again. She already has my brother as her mate, why won't she just give up on Alpha Leo? The professor came in and they al
