LOGAN'S POV I found myself smiling as I saw the energy going from my palms, into the soil. In turn, I felt the fresh power of magic surging from the soil, back into my veins. So much power, so much magic. "Sicut in terram energiam nostram conferimus, ita etiam in magiam tarrae penetramus." They all chanted. It meant 'As we give into the earth our energy, so do we tap into the magic of the earth'. "Hecate, tua vis per nos fluat." They continued. 'Hecate, let your power flow through us'. We continued to chant and watched as a line of fire was formed through the soil, dividing into several branches and getting into the palms of the others. Our chants became louder and louder until there was a mighty outburst of fire in the middle of the field. The ritual was complete. I took my hands off the ground, and looked around the field in pride. "Beloved, praise Hecate for the release of her power upon us." "Gratimus agimus Hecate, pro tam evidenti et benigna ostentatione amori
AUDREY'S POV I walked into the house, feeling emotionally exhausted. "Would you be fine?" Denver called after me, and I simply nodded. I heard the door close behind me, and started to make my way upstairs to my room. I got there and walked to the front of the mirror. The black dress and black hat I had worn, was too beautiful for the ugly event I had just returned from. My brother's funeral. I guess the colour of the dress made me feel more like the devil I was. I killed my own brother. 'You were trying to protect Rosaline'. My wolf defended. There was probably nothing that could excuse what I had done. I was a curse to my family. 'Yet, she hasn't said a single word to me for three weeks now'. I gave a bitter chuckle in my head. 'She's probably gonna leave for her pack, without saying goodbye'. 'She's probably still trying to process it all. Regardless of all he did to her, he was her mate'. 'And I should have just minded my business like I had been doing.' 'But sh
3 YEARS LATER. LOGAN'S POV The chaos, the darkness, the screams of battle, and.... it all went still. I looked around to find myself in a dark room. Suddenly, a spotlight fell on the left wall, and I turned to see Isobel, tied to the wall. Her naked body had been bathe in blood, and her nostrils were heavily bleeding as well. I tried to look into her eyes but all I saw were hollow sockets, with no eye balls. "Isobel!!" I yelled out in horror. "Logan! It's coming, it's coming, it's coming...." She kept repeating. Each time she said it, her face seemed to be drawing closer to mine. Just when she was completely in my face, she yelled out her last words."It's here, and there is no avoiding it!!" With that, I woke up from my sleep. Fucking hell. "Are you okay?" I turned beside me to see a naked Heather in bed with me. I was shocked. The events of the previous night flooded my senses, and I realized we did it after all. Fuck! I didn't want to do this with her. She was different
LOGAN'S POV I stepped into the busy hall, and was glad I made it right on time. "How did it go?" Layla walked up to me. "By the way, you look dashing!" She grinned, and I returned an even wider smile. "It went dreadfully." I answered in all honesty. "An evil is coming, Layla. And it's so close. What's worse, is that we can't avoid it." "The great war." She whispered, releasing a gasp. "Let's talk about this later. For now, we should enjoy the party. It's father's big day." "Okay." She nodded, cleaning her clammy hands on her dress. No one had to tell me that she was tensed. "Calm down, Layla. Even when darkness comes, we would conquer. The Flaming Wolf would arise soon." "Is that enough assurance?" She muttered. "Have some faith, sister." I managed a small smile. "Now, off you go." "There, is your reserved table." I looked across the hall, towards where she pointed at. The man I saw on the table, made me grin widely. Ryan. 'Admit that you missed me'. Ryan'
AUDREY'S POV "Rosa?" I called out, feeling ecstatic for the day ahead. "Good morning to you too!" She grinned, busy scooping the meal she had just made, into a plate. She didn't even bother to look up at me. "Come, eat something before you leave." "Rosa, you don't always have to do this." I sighed. "I can cook too. You don't need to stress yourself..." "You're yet to be dressed?" She cut me off in suprise, when she finally looked up at me. "Training isn't until noon today. And stop avoiding this conversation." "I'm not avoiding any conversation. I'm yours....." She sighed. "I will do anything to ensure you're comfortable." She added. Goddess! What was I going to do with this woman? Meanwhile, why was I perceiving some completely different scents in this house? "And as for training by noon, I guess you were too concerned about the fact that I was cooking a thousandth time for you, that you failed to notice you have guests." "Dalia and who else?" I muttered, not bother
AUDREY'S POV "I, King Logan, rejects you; Audrey Chadwick as my mate, Luna to the Royal Moon pack, and Queen to the werewolf race." "I love you, Logan. Please don't do this to me!!" I yelled out, tears pouring down my face. He simply looked at me in disdain, before pushing my hands off him, making me lose balance and falling to the ground. I kept falling and falling through an endless pit, the fear within me massively increasing. "Pleeeaassseee!!" I yelled out in horror. I opened my eyes weakly, and released a deep sigh. My entire neck was sweaty, and I realized I had also been crying in reality. Instantly, I got off the bed and made my way to the kitchen. I needed a cold glass of water to help my nerves. Wait a minute.... it was morning already? I felt my heartbeat speed up. Ever since King Xavier's visit to the pack, it felt like my life had turned upside down. We were required to leave for the palace in a matter of 5 days, and each new morning reminded me that we would lea
LOGAN'S POV "I am literally losing my mind." Layla paced to and fro my study. "Layla stop it, you're distracting me. I'm trying to prepare my speech for today." I muttered. "What do you even need a speech for? The situation of things is glaring for everyone to see. I'm sure the various pack armies on their way, must have encountered or heard of the recent rogue attacks. You don't need a speech for them to realize that this is time for war." "Fine. I personally didn't think the speech was necessary after all." I muttered under my breathe. "So why do you keep pacing around my study?" "Are you even asking? It's because this entire situation is insane! I knew we had always been told visions about the great war. But I just never imagined that we would be fighting against rogues. Rogues!" "What did you think? That it would be a battle amongst the four kingdoms?" "Something like that." She shrugged. "I wouldn't lie, I thought so too. But now, I've come to realize why it i
AUDREY'S POV Totally embarrassed. That was how I felt. I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, as I tried my best not to let it fall. I silently watched him run after a lady that had left the hall in tears. Was she the one? Was she the lady that made him always cause me pain? I wondered what his reaction meant. Did I stand a chance with him again? Was I going to be able to make him love me again? Hell! I was literally running faster than myself, but you wouldn't blame me. I was confused as hell. It was then it started to dawn on me that Logan was my mate. 'Our mate!!' My wolf howled in joy. 'We are back to our mate!!' She continued jumping jn my head, making me feel dizzy for a second. Oh, goddess!! Logan was my mate! Logan was my second chance mate!! I thought I was going to collapse from the ecstatic way in which I felt. "Audrey." I heard Denver whisper behind me, as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" He sounded so worried. It was understandable. He
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
