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
LOGAN'S POV We both sat in my study, stealing glances at one another, as we waited for Isobel and Isla to talk. They had both suggested that we went somewhere more private, and I absolutely agreed. I definitely couldn't sit in that dinning room, and discuss my personal matters in the presence of others. I stole another glance at Audrey, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was also as scared as I was. I truly couldn't explain how it made me feel. I felt hopeful. She didn't want our bond to be destroyed, and that showed for something. Atleast, my new habit of dropping flowers at her doorstep every morning, was probably softening her heart. Oh, goddess! I loved her badly. And being away from her was so emotionally draining. "You both..." Isobel began. "The disappearance of that mark, is a new beginning for you two. Now, you truly have your second chance with each other." She smiled, and went ahead to explain. "A mark is meant for assurance. A mark is supposed to be
AUDREY'S POV I had just left the library, and thought to take little Logan up to my room. I wanted him to spend the night with me, but then, it was already time for dinner. I didn't want to leave him alone in my room, and have a repetition of what happened the last time. I didn't want him waking up alone and getting scared. Just as I walked into the dinning room, I saw a woman, standing and talking to Layla and king Xavier. The room was semi full, but everyone was just silent. What was happening? 'Denver?' I mindlinked, and got replied almost immediately. 'Audrey! The king's mother just showed up. And it seems to be that she has some bad news'. 'Oh, no!'. The next minute, Logan breezed in from the direction of the library, and I frowned slightly. Was he coming from the library, because.... "Mother?" He called out, looking very concerned, and pulling me out of my thoughts. "Logan!" She quickly turned to him. That was when I clearly saw her face. She definitely looked
LOGAN'S POV As I stepped out of the shrine, I was surprised to see Layla and Isla already outside, waiting for me. "How long have you both been here?" I asked, and Layla shrugged. "Not too long." "How was it, Chief? Was it positive?" Isla asked, looking hopeful. "I wasn't shown a thing." I muttered in disappointment. I couldn't even believe it. This was the first time Hecate was turning her back on me, since my initiation as Chief custodian. "Oh my...." Isla whispered in understanding. "Don't worry, all will be well. We just need to have faith." What was faith going to do for me at a time like this? The woman I loved, just put herself on a death sentence, and I was supposed to try and act cool about it? I know she took her position as Luna, very seriously. But I just couldn't stand by and watch Sebastian get his hands on her. I had to do something, and it had to be fast. "She has been waiting for you all day." Isla whispered. "If I were you, I would leave every othe
