Semua Bab COME BACK OF THE SCARFACE PRINCESS : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Ava's POV Those words both scared and excited me.Demon Luna Queen.It only sounded right.If he was the Demon Alpha, it was appropriate that I was his Demon Luna.I don't know if I like being associated with him, but I can't deny the fact that I don't mind the title.The rest of the ritual was quite easier than I imagined.We both cut our palms and let our blood flow into the chalice.Dravin took a drink first, and I took the next.Everyone in the hall, except Dravin, went on one knee to welcome me as their Luna.It was a surreal sight.A little awkward too since I had no idea how a queen or Luna should act.Soren was the one who gave me an out as he mouthed at me:"Ask us to rise."I did just that, and everyone obeyed immediately.Dravin spoke up next, dismissing them and declaring the day as a day of celebration in honor of my presence.A day that will be dedicated to me for my whole life in this pack.That was another feeling I couldn't describe.The rest of the day was long and

Dravin's POV "I still can't believe we didn't know this," Soren said thoughtfully as he tapped his feet rhythmically on the floor of my office. "I also think it's your fault for not checking in all the years until you claimed her."I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as I perused through a document.It's been a week since the ritual, and Soren still hasn't gotten past the fact that Elora was scarred, fat, and ugly. He always brought it up whenever we saw her, which, for some reason, has been every day for the last three days."You could have checked," I said with evident boredom in my voice. "You are in charge of intelligence.""I'm not the one getting mated to her," he argued.I looked up at him for a few seconds, but he wasn't even looking at me. He was staring at the ceiling like there was something of interest up there.Turning back to my work, I decided it wasn't worth it to reply."It's funny, but I still like her," Soren laughed. "She seems to know how to get on your bad side

Vera's POV"Fûck!" I hissed as I tossed the mug I was holding at the wall, spilling its contents and shattering it on the wall.It was a bare second until my mother came running into the room with a frown."What's going on, Vera?" Her voice was quite calm but annoyed as her alarm quickly died down. "Ava is no longer here to clean up your mess. The workers won't be able to get that stain off the wall.""Then, have them fucking repaint it!" I spat as I let myself flop back on my bed."What's wrong?" Mother sighed as she moved to sit beside me. "You've been in quite a terrible mood lately.""Kael is still trying to postpone the announcement that I am his Luna," I complained. "Even worse, he's trying to keep our relationship even more private."I couldn't see her eyes, but her sigh told me all I needed to know about what she thought of my complaint.She thinks I'm throwing a tantrum.This is why I don't enjoy telling her about my problems."He must have a good reason," she said eventually

Ava's POV The silence in the room was, for lack of a better word, deafening.One could almost hear a pin drop.We would most likely have heard it anyway, since our hearing is quite advanced, but the point was that it was deathly silent in that office.I could feel Dravin's eyes on me. They seemed to almost burn, probing at me to stare back into them. I couldn't tell if he was staring or glaring because I refused to look at him.I kept my eyes trained on this lady, Camilla. A deadpan, expressionless look on my face and my chin raised at a slightly higher angle than normal so that I could stare down at her. So that she could see my eyes looking down and meeting hers.A trick I learned in the short time I knew Elora's father. The man's head was always angled to look down at everyone around him, regardless of their height. The only time I ever saw him angle his head slightly downward was when Dravin came to claim me.Good thing this Camilla isn't taller than me. That would have been awkw

Ava's POV My world was spinning, and not in a good way.Was there even a good way to have your world literally spinning?I couldn’t tell.I couldn’t think.I could hear voices.I could hear a name.But not my name."Ava!"I was jolted awake by the sound of my name.Opening my eyes, I met the emerald eyes of Vera. She had a smile playing on her lips.I knew that smile all too well.A mischievous smile.She was thinking of something vile."Why are you lying there like an idiot?" she asked, still smiling. "Stand up."I obeyed.I tried standing but quickly realized it was impossible. I was lying on a bed of jagged thorns. They had bitten so deep into my skin that with the protruding tips all over, they found a hold inside my flesh, never letting go.I screamed in pain.I howled at the top of my lungs.This was going to kill me.The thorns were covered in my blood."What did you do to me, Vera?" I demanded, tears in my eyes. "Why are you doing this?""Why?" she smiled. "Because it's what
