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
LOGAN'S POV Oh goddess. I was such a fool! A fool!!! I punched my hand into the wall of my room. I really didn't mean what I had said about Heather. How could I marry her when we were no longer together? I didn't mean it, I just wanted to spite Audrey. I thought she had 'really' kissed Ares! 'After this war, I would reject you, King Logan'. Her words resounded in my head, and my heart thumped painfully. What was I going to do now? I couldn't afford to lose her, I'd go crazy. "Pacing back and forth wouldn't solve any issue." I didn't need to look back to know it was Isla. "Logan, do you have a problem with not messing things up?" "I think I do." I admitted with a low sigh. "I would go crazy if she leaves me, Isla." "Then you should be thinking of ways to fix things." "It's beyond that now!" I pulled my hair in frustration. "Audrey looked me in the eye, and told me she hates me. She promised to reject our me!" I rushed out, unable to keep my shaky hands in place. "
AUDREY'S POV Giving me the key to his library, like it was going to make up for all the disrespect and insults he showered on me. Asking me to forgive him like he even meant those words.... "Audrey!" "Sorry." I muttered, pulling myself out of my personal thoughts. "What did I say last?" She asked, looking somewhat disappointed. "Emily....." I sighed. "I'm sorry, please don't be mad." "Only an inconsiderate person would be mad at you. You're clearly going through a lot of ups and downs with your mate. I can't imagine how draining it must be for you." She exhaled, hesitating to say her next words. "Are you really going to reject him?" She looked worried. I honestly didn't have an answer to that. Did I really have the guts to do that? I know he hurt me, but..... "Don't you also plan on rejecting his father after the war?" I chuckled dryly, but she remained silent. Immediately, I looked up at her. "Emily?" "I heard you." She said, licking her lips. "I know y
