AUDREY'S POV I was back to my previous position. Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, and staring into it mindlessly. All that was really on my mind, were the things that had taken place during the coronation, earlier today. I was still in shock and couldn't really come to terms with Logan's new form. He had defeated Sebastian without as much as a blow. All those in support of his rebellion had all been imprisoned, awaiting punishment next week. Not only did Ryan deceive Sebastian, he also revealed to the entire kingdom, how Sebastian had been long planning a rebellion. Logan's father had been so furious, especially after hearing what had been done to his ex wife. No one had to tell me what was going to happen to my parents. They were both going to die, and there was nothing I could do to help them. I couldn't even help myself. I found it unbelievable that Logan hadn't tried to stop Chief Drakos from crowning me as Queen. In fact, he wore those smiles that didn't reall
LOGAN'S POV "No, you're not an imbalance of nature." Isobel shook her head in disagreement. "But you all locked Ryan up, for years, because..." "Because he killed his mate, through the wrong use of his abilities." "We are saying the same thing." I insisted, and she shook her head again. "No, we are not! Ryan was hybrid, and couldn't control the excessive surge of his energy." "I am a tribrid! Isn't it supposed to be worse on my side?" "What makes you tribrid?!" She yelled in exasperation, and Keturah walked into the tent, chuckling as she did. "He is proving to be a handful, not so?" She asked Isobel, who exhaled. I had been in the witches territory for the past week, learning how to summon and control my magic. Isobel insisted it was necessary. "My witch gene makes me tribrid." I replied to Isobel, who clapped her hands. "Exactly! You already have magic, and that helps you control your vampire and werewolf sides." "So I don't need the help of my mate to cont
AUDREY'S POV "I should clean these off my face." I said to Layla, who stiffly nodded. Just as I stood up, I found myself being pulled down. "I'm sorry I vomited on you, it wasn't intentional." "Sure." I nodded, a smile making its way to my face. "It sure did make me feel like the trash I was, for a split moment." "Goddess!" She groaned in frustration. "Go wash your face already." "I would prefer a bath." I muttered. "Actually, it was time for dinner and that was why I came to get you. Father insisted we all have dinner together tonight. It's a good thing Logan made it back in time." "Okay." I nodded. "I would just go wash my face. After dinner, I would bath." I started walking towards the bathroom, but her words stopped me in my track. "And..... I'm pregnant." Oh wow. I remained in my spot, at loss on how to react to such a great information. "Audrey, I said I'm pregnant." She repeated. "Yeah!" I turned back to her immediately. "Hurrahhh!!" "What's that?" S
LOGAN'S POV "I know you're hurt Logan, but this isn't the right thing to do. You're going to leave an indelible mark of pain in her heart forever." "Well, she did the same to me." I muttered dryly. "Seriously?!" Liam asked in disbelief. "How do you even know this funny experiment would work? We have never been told about such a lore since we became of age and had our first shifts." "Trust me, it works. I personally spoke with Edith." "Am I supposed to know who that is?" "Obviously. She is the one who was marked and rejected by her mate." "You said she had only been rejected for a couple of years. That's no guarantee that she wouldn't be able to find another mate." He reasoned. "Why are you so bothered, then? If you're so sure it wouldn't work, then why are you bothered?" "Because the thought alone is insane. What's happening to you?" "Change." I sighed, literally feeling a headache from his complaints. I expected him to support me, not this. "And the fact that
AUDREY'S POV "When I get older, I would love to have a handsome mate!!!" I sang as I ran down the staircase. "Much handsome than you are, Andrew!" I jested, and he continued to chase after my small figure. "You wouldn't be that lucky, you silly rat!" He barked behind me, and I giggled happily because I was clearly riling him up. Just then, the door went open and father walked into the living room with his Beta, a few guards tagging along. Instantly, the place fell silent and I ceased my running. Andrew on the other hand, stopped chasing after me. We both watched in silence as father sat on his favourite sofa in the living room. We had no idea he was going to return home so soon. There had been an interpack dispute, and he had travelled to settle issues. It wasn't even up to a whole day since he left. "Father." I muttered in my tiny voice. "Welcome home." I said, hoping he would return my greetings with a wide smile. His smiles always made me feel so good. Sometimes, I felt
LOGAN'S POV Witches, wolves, vampires, and faes. All, fighting together? The chaos was sooo great. I found myself running ahead, aggressively hitting down the rogue vampires and wolves that came on to me. The audacity indeed. I could feel so much anger within me, and I just wanted to take it out on a particular person who stood far across from me. I couldn't clearly make out his face, but I knew that he was the rival I had to deal with. One minute I was running towards my rival, the next minute I realized I was in a different spot. Beside me, was the most humbling creature I had ever seen in my life. An extremely beautiful wolf with furs of fire. That wolf was fighting alongside me. I woke up, my eyes frantically searching my surroundings. There was no chaos, I wasn't in battle, and there was no wolf with furs of fire. But there was one person though. "Liam, you're watching me sleep now?" I asked in mild irritation, to which he simply shrugged. How could he act normal, af
AUDREY'S POV As I stepped out of the hall, I could feel several pairs of eyes on me. This was the first time I was out in public since my return, and I was already regretting it. I didn't know if I should increase my steps, or just walk back inside the hall and wait until the entire place was free of people. I decided that the former was the best decision, and increased my steps. It almost felt like I was running, and I didn't realize I was, until I began to hear mockful chuckles behind me. Slowly, the chuckles became more audible, and I could feel hot tears cloud my eyes. I bent my head in embarrassment, and ran off. The moment I got to the house, I uran past my uncle and made my way to my room. "Audrey!" I heard him call, but I didn't have it in me to say a word in response. Though I was worried that he might assume I wasn't happy about Denver's new appointment, but I made a note in my head to meet him and explain later. I laid in a way that my head faced the pillow, and
AUDREY'S POV "254, 255, 256, 257, 258...." "Audrey, that's enough." I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was. "Denver, I do not appreciate your interruption." I threw him a glare, breathing so hard. "Well, that interruption was very necessary!" "I enjoy my sit-ups. It helps me clear my head." "Audrey, it's been 8 months! You can't keep hiding behind the sit-ups and extreme exercises." "Oh?" I asked, as calm as could be. I was actually annoyed. "8 months ago, you gave me a royal order to take on the position of chief commander, and I did. Regardless of how difficult it was for me to go into the midst of people who detested me, and lead them. I couldn't defy the king's order now, could I? For 8 whole months, I've been trying my hardest to win over a team that doesn't see any good in me." "Audrey, I..." He started, but I was quick to cut him short. "Denver, this is my only escape." I ground my teeth, knowing I had gone past that era of crying. It never really so
