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
LOGAN'S POV "I can't believe you did that to your mate!" My father yelled in annoyance, whilst I just remained quiet in my seat. His anger was the least of my problems. All the while, uncle Justin, Liam, and Layla just looked at me like I had grown some horns overnight. "Can you give me a response, and stop acting dumb?" Father requested, to which I shrugged. "My girlfriend was clearly hurt, and I felt it was the right thing to put her feelings first." "Logan, you humiliated your mate, and you just speak like it wasn't such a wrong thing. And since when did Hea...." He paused, trying to remember her name "Heather." Layla assisted. "Yes." He nodded. "Since when did she become your girlfriend? I thought you both were just friends?" "They were, until he stuck his manhood into her vagina." Layla said, making Liam burst into laughter. "I'm sorry brother, but I didn't think you were gonna respond to father." "How convenient." I said to Layla, throwing a glare at Liam w
