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
LOGAN'S POV "You keep messing things up, don't you?" Layla glared at me, and I swallowed hard, unable to say a word in defense. "You have to make it up to her." "How? I don't even know what to do." I muttered. "An apology, of course! Must I tell you everything? Can't you take the initiative? Or you think she doesn't deserve it?" "I never said that." I frowned. "I'm just confused. One minute, I'm so angry at Audrey. The next minute, I am breaking up with Heather. The next minute, I am kissing Audrey with such a passion I can't even control." "You broke up with Heather?!" She and Liam asked at the same time, looking really surprised. "Yes." I muttered. "I did. Last night." "Oh, my goodness!! That's such a great news!" Layla grinned. "You do realize that great news has made someone else extremely hurt, right?" "Fine." She released a sigh. "I'm sorry. I was just happy you're finally taking the right steps towards making your relationship with Audrey, work. But then
AUDREY'S POV When I opened my eyes, it was night already, and I figured it'd be time for dinner soon. Little Logan hadn't shown up today, so I assumed he probably spent the day with my mate. My mate. I couldn't help but think about all that had happened this morning, while I proceeded to the bathroom for a bath. Were my actions right? Was I right to push him away? This was the first time he was trying to be intimate with me since I returned, and I had arrogantly pushed him away. But still, he had no right addressing me in such a degrading manner. And why was he even trying to touch me, when Heather was still in the picture? I suddenly felt so angry all over again, and hurriedly finished up my business in the bathroom. I stepped out and went through my hygiene routine, applying so much moisturizer. It was a chilly weather, and it seemed like it may probably rain tonight. Putting on my simple black gown that stopped mid thigh, I decided to let my hair fall freely tonight. P
