AUDREY'S POV It had been 6 good days since he left, and still hadn't returned. I wondered if he was really not going to return until the day of coronation. Coronation. These days, whenever I thought about it, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't want any harm to come to Logan, and it drove me crazy when I remembered I was the reason he was in danger. I was angrier because I hated the fact that I cared about him no matter how much I tried not to. I was the type to only think of myself and my gains, so what was happening? Rolling my eyes at my helpless situation, I got them fixed on the book in my hands again. That was when I realized what spiked up my thoughts about Logan. I had gotten to the part of the story where the male lead found out his wife had been cheating on him with their gardener. Was Logan ever going to find out that......? A knock on the door cut short my thoughts. "Who's there? Alara?" "Yes, your highness." "Come on in." I invited, and she walked inside.
LOGAN'S POV I had truly wanted to keep kissing her all night long, but unfortunately, I was being very careful as not to push her away. I stayed awake for the rest of the night, watching her as she slept. Oh, goddess! She was sooo beautiful. Her full black curls spread out on every angle of the pillow where she laid her head, as her breasts rose and fell softly with each breathe she took. I looked at the sharp line of her jaw and the pointed structure of her nose, forcing myself not to touch her face. She was a light sleeper, and any little touch could wake her up. Suddenly, my last discussion with Alpha Ryan resurfaced in my mind, and a small frown made its way to my face. I quickly looked away from Audrey's sleeping face, and turned to the other side of the bed. I didn't want to look at her, while those thoughts ran through my mind. Ryan had asked me to be careful around Audrey. Apparently, he suspects she and her parents may be involved in Sebastian's plan. But then again
AUDREY'S POV I walked to princess Layla's gallery, extremely excited to see her. 'Or still feeling euphoric from your kiss with our mate a few minutes ago?' My wolf teased and for the first time in a long while, I caught myself blushing at her words. 'I'm sure you're happy.' I responded, and she danced around my head. 'I am sooo excited. Definitely, you wouldn't understand what it means to have been fed rotten foods for so long'. She sighed. 'Excuse me?' I frowned a little. 'Yeah! All those other male wolves you have been with in the past, have brought me nothing but utter disgust. But then, I'm very sure you'd been having a great time of your life. 'Not really.' I whispered, putting my head down in embarrassment. 'Oh, stop lying! You and I both know you always enjoyed it.' 'Well, I did.' I sighed. 'But after knowing what it feels like to be with Logan, I'm terrified.' 'Terrified? Why?! If you ask me, I'm extremely excited, because I can't wait for more!' Sh
AUDREY'S POV I watched as the two guards carried the iron cage into the field and dropped it. The squirrel continued scratching against the cage, trying to set itself free. Oh, poor thing. "Here you go." Logan grinned at me, and I shook my head in disbelief. "Do we have to do this?" "Of course, we do." He nodded in conviction. "We need to get our tricks ready for the coronation." He chuckled, but I could see his struggle within. It became clearer to me that Logan was only using this as a form of distraction from his real problems. Deciding I would be that distraction he needed, I played the part. That was the least I could do for him. Moreover I was a major part of his predicament, and it killed me every passing day that I thought of how helpless I was. I cared about Logan, but I was also scared to jeopardize the safety of my parents. "Alright!" I grinned. "Should we freeze the squirrel with my stare?!" I yelled, expecting to get hyped up. "Yes!!" He actually hyped m
AUDREY'S POV Mooooorrreee!!! That was the only thought that ruled my mind as I took his hand and placed it on my naked breast. At first, he remained unmoving, probably too shocked over my actions. Even I, was. But ever since I made the mistake of building up a friendship with Logan, it felt like a whole new spirit possessed me. I suddenly could see things for what they really were. Logan was a good man, and that was why..... I released a low gasp when I felt the pad of his thumb caress my nipple. The feeling was electrifying, and I wanted him to continue. No, I needed him to continue. He dipped his head and reconnected our lips in a searing kiss, still busy with his wicked administrations to my nipple. Soon, his hand moved away from my opened breast, and went further to shift my robe from covering my other breast. I thought he was going to touch it like he did the other, which made me unprepared for his next course of action. He took my nipple into his mouth and suckled on i
AUDREY'S POV The purposeful hums I heard in my ear, made my eyes slowly flutter open. There he was, actually humming into my ear with a smile on his face. "Today it is your birthday, and I sing to let you know..... that you would be queen for the day, whatever you say goes!" He sang, and it dawned on me. "Logan? What's today's date?" I asked, unsure if he was correct, regardless of the fact that I knew he was. "The eleventh day in march..." He sang, making me chuckle at his childlike behaviour. It was indeed my birthday!! Today was my birthday!! How come it skipped my mind? 'Seriously?!' My wolf muttered. 'With the looming problems over our heads, you expect to remember our birthday?' That was true. I had a mission to carry out this morning, and the earlier I got to it, the better for me. I couldn't help the look of sadness I had on, and Logan quickly noticed it. "What's wrong?" He asked, cupping my cheeks. I simply shook my head, hoping to somehow alleviate his wo
AUDREY'S POV 9 HOURS LATER I woke up abruptly, looking around the shrine. Nothing felt different, asides the fact that it wasn't morning anymore. I stood up from the...... Wait a minute, I thought I had fallen on a bare floor? Why was I laying on a mat and..... Suddenly, that particular memory flooded into my senses. 'Audrey Chadwick, daughter of Dean and Marion. Descendant of the great Aaron Chadwick, be humble and fulfil your destiny. Do not abandon that little cub, for within, is his strength and power like that of a lion.' That was it.... That was what happened the last time I visited the shrine. The moon goddess had spoken to me! But how? Those words continued to resound in my mind, and I quickly sprung to my feet. Was this a sign? My destiny is with Logan, and none other. Logan was my destiny. "Logan is my destiny." I repeated those words as I paced around the shrine in slight confusion. Soon, I had a new resolve. I was going to do all it took, to stan
LOGAN'S POV I was so elated! It was Audrey's birthday, and I finally got to tell her how I truly felt about her. Even though she may have given a discouraging response if Alara hadn't interrupted our discussion, I was still glad that I told her and it was finally off my chest. As I took my time washing my body clean, I thought about my time at the cold moon pack. I couldn't believe that I had actually harboured the slightest thoughts that Audrey would betray me. I mean, if nothing else made me see things much clearly now, then the passionate night we spent writhing in pleasure that was provoked by each other, was enough to. Audrey would have never let me do such a significant thing with her, if she wasn't loyal and looking to build something great with me. But then again, I could help the slight feeling of jealousy I felt within, knowing I wasn't her first. It made my mind wander through inappropriate paths. It got me thinking if she had also been with Sebastian so intimately
THIRD PERSON'S POV She looked around in disappointment, seeing as he was yet to return. After they attended Audrey and Logan's wedding, he had escorted her back to their pack, and left to where she hadn't an idea, that same night. For 4 days now, he was yet to return, and she couldn't help the agony she felt within. She hated herself for caring so much, but it was almost impossible. Everyday, Ryan kept opening parts of herself, that she promised to keep closed forever. She hated how much she missed having him inside her. A few days before Audrey's wedding, they had gotten into a serious fight, which was partly caused by this certain maid he used to fuck, before she showed up. She couldn't believe Ryan had defended that woman, over her. What was she even thinking? The fact that they spent one drunken night, sharing some information about their dark pasts, didn't mean that he would suddenly start to see her as more than his breeder mate. In a way, she did blame herself for their
AUDREY'S POV It was a great day for me. I sat still, looking at the mirror, as I watched the omega perform great magic on my hair. "A few more pins, and we would be done, your majesty." "Of course." I nodded with a small smile. "Take your time, love." She continued fixing pins around my hair and humming in satisfaction. Just then, the door burst open and Layla stepped in, looking so lost in her preparations. "Put it there." She instructed another omega, who stepped into the room with her. "The dress?" I asked, and she literally jumped around, clapping her hands excitedly. "Yes, the dress! Audrey you need to see the altercations Lilian made. It's sooo fucking beautiful." "Oh? Great! I just hope she still maintained the accurate fittings." "Of course, she did." Layla grinned. "Ana, please do it quickly with her hair. The officials are already trooping in." "They are here already?" I asked in surprise. "Audrey, it's past 12 noon! The joining ceremony was slated
AUDREY'S POV 2 months already, yet it still felt like yesterday. Our lost soldiers, officials, and the knowledge that my baby is the Flaming Wolf. I definitely hadn't stopped feeling so good about it. Logan and I were blessed. We had both formed a child who was gracious enough to be chosen as the reincarnate of Kora. I placed my hand on my big tummy, caressing it as I looked down the balcony. She loved it here. She would always kick whenever I stepped out to the balcony, where all her father's flowers were pilling up. The placed definitely smelled just as wonderful. He literally changed the flowers daily, and groomed the place like it was an actual flower shop. Just two months ago, there were a lot of soldiers training on the training grounds. Now I looked at the grounds from the balcony, and just a few soldiers were jogging around. It was so encouraging how everyone learned to move past their pains and losses, looking ahead to a better future for us all. It certainly wasn't
THIRD PERSON'S POV Rosa stared at the man, who just sat still in front of her. She had been so mad at him before the war, but after she almost lost her life.... she didn't know why it felt like it was best being with him, no matter the situation of things between them. She knew Audrey would remain in the palace with her mate, and couldn't imagine returning to the Blood moon pack alone. Even if Audrey decided to make her stay in the palace with her, she knew she'd never really be satisfied. Not because she craved to be with Ryan or whatever, but because she felt she could only attain her full potentials by returning with him to his pack, as his Luna. She was done being scared and closeted, she was going to take the bold step of change now. She was going to become a Luna, walk with her head high, and know what more the moon goddess had in store for her. Definitely, the moon goddess had made him her second chance mate for a reason. And surely, the moon goddess decided to spare her
THIRD PERSON'S POV Audrey fell to the ground in pain, losing awareness of her surroundings as she cried out in pain. She felt the anguish flow through her veins, clawing to be purged out through her skin. She felt her skin burning hot as if coals of fire were sprouting out from them. All the while, Logan and every other person around her had stood, watching her in shock! Her skin was red hot, and Logan was confused and worried. His worries had turned into shock and amazement the moment he heard her bones cracking into structure. Then, he knew it within himself. His mate was the Flaming Wolf. In a matter of seconds, Audrey's wolf emerged in a different form and dimension. The furs of fire around it, had made the rogues around them to start retreating. The Flaming Wolf was soooo huge, standing a few feets shorter than Logan's supernatural form. The astounded tribrid had been too shocked to make a move. Slowly, his mate's wolf turned to him, and the next words dropped from his
THIRD PERSON'S POV "Fight to the death!!" Sebastian yelled loudly, and the rogue army joined in with loud cheers. Their energies had been really boosted within the week, after the successful siring of more hybrids. It was safe to say that more than half of the rogue wolves, had decided to turn into hybrids. "Is it time?" Mark muttered beside Sebastian, and he nodded. "It is time, my friend. Let's go take over." They all began their march towards the boundary, chanting their war songs as they did. 2 hours in, and they were finally approaching the boundary. The rogue witches began to make their enchantments, fog filling the entire place. Sebastian knew that was the method of a cheat, but he didn't mind. Anything to win the war. "Now?" Annabelle asked him, and he nodded. "Now, Annabelle." Just then, Annabelle slipped out of the show and walked a distance away from the army. Just as she opened the portal to transport herself, someone held her arm. "Mother! Where are
LOGAN'S POV We took our time bathing each other, as I wondered if we were going to be like this again, after the war was over. I prayed in my heart that we won this war, and that Audrey remained by my side. We had just made love in the most intense and extremely emotional way I have ever known. I was pretty much still stoned from the beautiful experience. I didn't want to believe that we would soon step out of the bathroom, and gird up for battle. "What are you thinking?" She asked, hugging me so closely. "How I don't want to lose you." I whispered. "And what are you thinking?" "How miserable I would be without you." She sighed, and I felt hot fluid on my chest. She was crying. "I love you." I professed, holding onto her much tightly. We could literally break each other, from how strong our hold was. "I love you. Even in the face of death." She whispered. Stepping out of the bathtub, I carried her in my arms and walked into our room. Taking my time, I dried up her
AUDREY'S POV I so much wanted to believe that something could be done about Isla's disappearance, but the glaring truth remained that we couldn't do much. We could only hope. Isobel and Keturah had done their best the whole week, trying to know her whereabouts through a locator spell, but everything was just blank. It was as if her energy had completely disappeared from the world. "Audrey." I looked up to see Layla standing at the door of the study. "You've been here most of the days, all week." "I can't just sit around idly. I don't want to believe we've lost Isla." My head fell in defeat. "Same here." She walked into the study. "My brother?" She asked. "I don't know. He left here a couple of hours back. Probably trying to put one or two things in order, before the war. It's tomorrow, Layla!" I sighed deeply, unable to believe my own ears. "It is." She nodded. "I can feel the tension around. I am scared. For my kids." She added, making me look up at her. "You know
AUDREY'S POV "I do not want an inch of her room to be left unsearched. Check every single place, and let me see all you could find." I ordered Boyd, who bowed and left the room. I turned to Logan who still looked to be shocked. 'This was long coming'. I muttered through our mindlink. 'How?' He turned to me. 'Heather never seemed like the type to hurt anyone unjustly. She was my friend, for 2 years'. 'And 2 years is enough to know someone?' 'I fell in love with you in less than weeks, Audrey'. 'Really?!' I glared. 'Oh well, why don't you go ahead and tell me how you also realized how much of a betrayer I was, in a matter of one month?'. I stood up and walked out of the council room. I didn't mean to fight with him, but was he really trying to defend Heather? The woman had just taken away Isla! She is his friend, how could he care so little?! Heading towards my room, I mindlinked Layla. 'Audrey! What's happening?' 'Layla, please ensure that the kids are fine. I can
