LOGAN'S POV "What the hell did you do to her?" I stood from my seat and walked to where Audrey sat. She looked confused, and it angered me to no end. Ryan had carried Heather in his arms and Liam escorted him out of the council room. The others just gaped in shock and confusion. "I swear, I don't know what happened." She stood up to explain, and I felt irritated. I was sooo tired of her lies. "Really? But somehow, you screamed at her to fuck off?" "I didn't know I was screaming at her... I.. she was... I thought it was...." She stuttered, unable to make out a straight sentence. 'Goddess! You disgust me'. It was a thought, but she had teared up. Wait! Did I just mindlink her? "Are you fine?" Denver scanned her face and body, checking to see if she was affected in anyway. What angered me the most was the fact that he acted like I wasn't even standing in front of them. "We could all give you both some minutes of privacy, if you so wish. Atleast, until Alpha Ryan and r
AUDREY'S POV He giggled loudly as I tickled him, trying to push my hands away. "Auntie Audrey, pleeaaassseee stop!" He begged. "Auntie Audrey would stop after you give her a kiss!" I dropped chaste kisses around his wonderfully scented neck, making him stretch his hands to caress my face. "How did you get here, you little brat?" I looked up to see Layla at my doorstep. Oh no. Was she angry that her son was here? "Layla." "Hello Audrey." She smiled, stepping into the room. "I'm so sorry if he intruded your privacy. He has this nasty habit of not knocking before going into someone else's room." Oh, great! She was fine with him being here. "Not at all. I had actually hoped to see him today." I gently ruffled his hair as he leaned back onto my body. "He actually made me feel better after a stressful day." "I heard about it." She sighed, a look of sympathy on her face. "I wouldn't judge, without hearing the story from you." "Thank you so much, Layla. You can't imagine,
LOGAN'S POV I walked into Heather's room, to see her laying on her back on the bed. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and she looked to be deep in thoughts. I couldn't believe she'd try to do something like that. "I hope you're thinking about your sins?" I asked, startling her in the process. Her eyes fell on me, and she shot me a guilty look. She looked guilty, but not in any way remorseful. "I didn't mean to." She muttered. "Moreover, she hurt me so badly." She pouted angrily, touching her bandaged head in emphasis. "Heather, are you kidding me right now? You attacked someone who had done nothing wrong to you! What did you expect when you attacked someone as strong as her?" "But she did something wrong to you! And now she's here to destroy our newly found happiness." She sobbed, and I found myself heart go soft. "Look," I sighed. "Whatever scores I have with Audrey, is between me and her. Plus, you don't have to pretend that what you did was about the scores I have
AUDREY'S POV I cracked my neck both ways, revelling in the relieve it gave. Goddess! I was exhausted. I knew I was supposed to have my usual reading time with little Logan, but I was too tired to remain awake. And Emily was also supposed to show up for our chess games. But I was tireeeddd! Okay, maybe I could take a little nap before little Logan shows up. As I closed my eyes, the picture of Logan's displeased face flashed at me. He had obviously been so unhappy that I had won Beta Justin during the sparring match. I couldn't help but think of how much he hated me now. He had also been unhappy about the fact that little Logan was excited about my win. I didn't need anyone to tell me, his face said it all. Little Logan and I always discussed whenever we read together. Turns out Logan had a private library, where they both read every evening. I was also surprised to find out that the library that used to be in the palace 5 years ago, was no longer there. I asked a few ques
AUDREY'S POV It's been one week already, and nothing had changed with Logan. Infact, it felt as if things were getting worse. No matter what I did to show that I cared, he responded with harshness. I had taken up some books to his chambers the other day, because I felt he had probably not read them yet. All he had done was yell at me and asked me never to step foot in his chambers again. Atleast, my consolation was the fact that since I came here, I haven't felt that pain that comes when he was intimate with another. I don't know if it was just luck, or a deliberate action not to sleep with anyone, but it gave me hope. Today, king Xavier had invited us for lunch in his chambers, and I was happy to go. I had been meaning to pay him a visit for a while now, but the trainings had been very intense lately, leaving me too exhausted to do anything else. The only people I had time for, were just Emily and Logan. It was amazing having two people with such pure hearts in my corner
LOGAN'S POV I stared at her in disbelief, trying to understand why she did what she did. "Why did you?" I asked, trying my best to remain calm. Ever since she showed up, it was from one problem to another. I haven't had a moment of peace! "I didn't!" She insisted, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. I was just tired of her, trying to use her tears to make me feel bad. "I guess this would be the hundredth time I would be saying this, but I really don't care. Your tears do not move me." "Fine! What then, do you want me to say? That I was walking past her and decided to pour hot cup of tea on her back? I'm not heartless." "Oh, please!" I scoffed, unable to hold back my laughter. "Indeed." "Logan, that's enough. Audrey here, insists it wasn't intentional." Father supported. Really? "I can't believe you guys right now." I muttered in disappointment. "A week back, Heather was being punished for...." "For a crime she committed!" Layla cut me off. "Isn't it clear th
AUDREY'S POV The moment I closed the door behind me, I released a frown. He was already dressed in his night clothes, yet, smelled of Heather. It was clear that they were spending the night together. That alone, made this reasonable gesture of his, weigh so little in my mind. How could he keep on disrespecting me this way? Should I just give up already? 'Noooo!' My wolf howled in my head. 'He is our mate, we just cannot give up on him so easily. I know he is proving difficult, but let's push a little more.' She begged, making me release a sigh. Fine then. I went back to bed and thought about everything that had happened in the last couple of days. Isla had just shown up and taken the blame, without saying why she did. I planned speaking with her after lunch yesterday, but she was quick to disappear before I realized it. Tonight was no different. She had completely avoided coming down for dinner. I know she may have hurt me, but her ability to come forward and admit to her wr
LOGAN'S POV I walked back to my chambers, still feeling somewhat annoyed that she shut her door on my face. On getting inside my chambers, I was surprised to see Heather completely awake. "Where were you?" She asked, and I released a sigh. Contemplating if I should tell her the truth about coming from Audrey's room, or if I should lie. I truly wasn't ready for another round of misunderstanding tonight. How come that was all we did these days? Quarrel. "I went to see Audrey." I truthfully answered. "I know. I could smell her on you." She nodded. "Come join me already." She gestured for me to come to the bed. Did she just act like that was nothing? I mean, considering the fact that I left bed to go see Audrey. Nonetheless, I was thankful for the calm. I laid beside her, and she inched closer to me, placing her head on my chest. All the while, my mind kept replaying the scene where Audrey and Ares were laughing together. Fuck! Why couldn't I just get that off my mind? I ha
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
