AUTHOR'S POV:"How did the search go, the Alpha from the East, will he consent to help us?" Damien rose up immediately after his beta entered the place.His beta's face was all gloomy, making Damien feel uncertain about what was to be said."My Alpha, I'm afraid to say this, but rumor has it that the ruthless Alpha King cannot be appeased unless he does so through his wife. This piece of information is not only a rumor, I've confirmed it from many reliable sources."Damien's fingers shook on the table where he had placed it. He was trying so hard to keep his calm and think clearly of the way out of this dilemma. If he did nothing, then the war would consume everyone."Right. Prepare some expensive gifts. We'll set out to visit them. I'm desperate for help, and someone has got to help me. I don't care if they are ruthless or not." Damien's said with determined eyes."Any more information I must know?" Damien sucked in a deep breath before he probed further."Sir, the enemy pack has got
AUTHOR'S POV:In three years, a lot of changes had happened. Ava stood in front of the mirror, her hands stuck to her sides as she began recollecting all that had happened in the past three years.Everything was fine right now, but it wasn't mostly so then.Ava could remember how she had had sleepless nights which prompted Leonard to decide that they were going to relocate to another place. A place that would keep some memories far away."What's wrong? Why are you like this? What can I do to make you not feel this way?" Leo had once asked her, his voice laced with concern, and her reply had been,"Leo, I'm sorry but please, I think I need a change of environment. Each night when I sleep, my dreams take me back to Blue Crest pack and when I wake up the next morning I find myself right beside you, and honestly, I can't take it anymore. I am reminded of the countless times I was beaten and neglected and the countless times I was frustrated and called names for being barren." Ava had com
AVA:The change in environment had positively affected every aspect of my life. My life had become peaceful and my bruises had healed. Even the scars, I wasn't sure if they were present anymore."Ava. Guess what?" Leo walked up to me with a look of excitement at the corners of his eyes."You know I'm not good at guessing. Come on, don't keep me in suspense." I replied and dropped the knitting I was doing to look up at him."Blue Crest pack would soon be here. Not now but in a few days. They want us to back them up in battle.""The nerve of them." My nose flared. How dared they look for help from the same person they wanted to destroy a few years ago. If they had killed me then, how were they going to seek this help which they desperately wanted?"What do you suggest we do with them?" Leo asked and I subconsciously winced."I don't wanna see them. Seeing them will bring back those memories I desperately want to bury. It's the truth that sone things and some feelings never die. All I wa
AUTHOR'S POV:"Audrey," Damien called, the name sounding so heavy in his throat. He had made a guttural sound, one like he hadn't learned to speak.Damien was about to ask the one question which had been heavy on his lips to say but which he was unable to.With each second that passed, he was made weak in the knees with the question, "What if Doctor Thomas was right."A lot of things came with Dr. Thomas's words turning out to be correct and that was more reason why he didn't want to ask because that would break him further.Part of the consequences that came with having an illegitimate child and it being a secret that was suddenly exposed was that he had just shot himself in the leg because Damien would no longer have the loyalty and full support of the pack. After all, the moon goddess would surely afflict them with wars, pandemic diseases, or even greater mishaps that would be a weapon of mass distraction.True to the saying that uneasy was the head that wears a crown and that if a
AUTHOR'S POV:Damien's hands vibrated and so did his heart. This was all because of the piece of paper in between his fingers.Tears which he would never allow to roll down his cheeks formed in his eyes and he fought so hard to hold them back.Damien had always acted tough in the face of everything, but the information, though crafted in simple words, tore him apart.For the first time in his life, Damien felt like letting the tears stream down his cheeks.He had heard many times and had also become one of those people who believed that men didn't cry because they had to be strong in every situation. But this time around, he just wanted to cry and let out all of his emotions till there was no more strength in him to cry."Is this really true? Is this my fate? Audrey has made a fool of me?" These were the questions Damien kept asking himself as he utterly disregarded the doctor who was in the same space as him.Damien glanced at Doctor Thomas who was sitting opposite his standing figur
AUTHOR'S POV:"I love you, so very much Damien, please don't let me go like this. Please, think about it, think about how this would affect little Sean who has nothing to do with this." Audrey pleaded while coming closer to Damien.Damien who didn't want her anywhere near him shifted, he wanted out, he wanted to leave the place and leave Audrey and go to a place so far away.Intuition never lies because it has been a long time since he had felt that something was wrong with Audrey. That she was not being her true self. But he chose to keep quiet and not probe into any of her affairs, for peace to reign and because he wanted her happy.It was such a pain in the ass that the one family which he thought he had successively built wasn't really his.As it stands, he had no mate, no child. Everything he thought that he built was a lie. A huge lie looking him in the face."But, I love you. This was a mistake I made before we even got mated. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and we can go back to
AVA:I knew even before Leo told me anything, that one day, I'd meet with Damien, my ex-mate and the one who made me feel so much trauma. I had that feeling in my gut and it was one of the things that crept up and awoke a little anxiety in me.Now that Leo gave me a taste of peace, I didn't want to see the scumbag, Damien anymore.Ask me over and over again and I would repeat that the thought of Damien's presence is really disturbing. After my rebirth and revenge scheme, all I ever wanted to do was erase the memories of the past, erase the people in the past, and move forward with my life.I didn't want to be concerned with stories of how they fared or what happened to them.But then, I didn't want to disappoint Leo. He wanted to watch the drama unfold while I did not.Damien would soon be here and I hate the fact that I had to anticipate his coming in a few days.My lips wanted to curse at him and yell profanities to his name but at the same time, my inner mind wanted peace. Peace w
AUTHOR'S POV:"Your Majesty of the East. We, the wolves of Blue Crest Pack, solicit your help in our affairs. In return, we give our loyalty and we ask for a treaty, as you may deem feat." Damien knelt and bowed straight to the empty seat of the Alpha's throne in the Alpha's chamber.Damien had been doing this for a while now, making proclamations upon proclamation, but no one was in the room with him, despite that he had been invited in here.This single phenomenon was humiliating enough but Damien was determined not to give up. Blue Crest pack suffered greatly and so Damien was determined not to go without a result, humiliation or not.Besides, the Great East was the only pack that accepted to hear from him despite that he had nothing to offer and he wasn't ready to miss this golden opportunity.Damien's knees trembled because he didn't even know for how long he had been in a kneeling position. His stomach grumbled from how hungry he felt.All of a sudden, Damien began hearing appro
