LOGAN'S POV I watched her sleep so peacefully, and cursed myself for wanting to be inside her all the time. Now, she barely had any sleep all night, and it was going to be time for the council meeting soon. I could as well be useful, and make her something to eat. Just as I was about to step down from the bed, I noticed a frown on her face. Fixing my eyes on her face, I watched her turning from side to side, shaking her head in what seemed like refusal. She was having a bad dream. "Please...." She sighed, still turning her face away from her supposed intruder. "Please...." Tears began to escape from her eyes, and I had no other choice than to wake her up. "Babe!" I gently grabbed her shoulder, and shook her awake. Her eyes flung wide open, and I could see fear in them. She was struggling from my grasp, and I had to call back her consciousness. "Love! It's me." Slowly, realization dawned on her, and her eyes softened. She released a deep sigh and I hugged her immediately.
THIRD PERSON'S POV Rosa hastened her steps, wanting to get home on time and prepare her meal. Almost immediately, she slowed down, remembering that the person in question, whom she normally went out of her way for, was no longer there. Immediately she thought about Audrey, worry set in. Was she fine? Was she eating well? She had found out a few weeks back, that Audrey had been mated to king Logan again. Rosa couldn't help but wonder if things were going on well between them. She also knew there was a great possibility that things weren't fine. In the letter that Alpha Denver had sent to his mate, he stated that Audrey and Logan were having a hard time adjusting to the situation of things. Rosa knew Denver for trying to be subtle with his words. And that was why she thought there was a great possibility that Audrey and Logan were infact, doing quite badly. "I would kill him myself, if he hurts her again." She whispered to herself, her scowl increasing when she realized there w
THIRD PERSON'S POV The moment she got back home, she started packing some clothes into a bag, but realized it would only slow her down. Throwing the bag aside, she brought out another bag from the wardrobe, and searched it thoroughly like a crazy woman. Once her hand touched the item she was looking for, she sighed in relief. It was the purse containing the little savings she had. She figured it would be enough to buy her a passage out of the pack, through Silas's carriage. Silas was well known for his illegal interstate business. He was the kind of man she'd never go to for any reason, but now, she hadn't a choice. 'What if Audrey is gone by the time we get there?' Her wolf asked, and she groaned in frustration. 'Please not now'. She rushed out, honestly not ready for a conversation with her wolf, especially when she was trying to leave this house, before Leah sent the guards after her. Tightly clipping her money bag around her waist, she took her jacket and literally
AUDREY'S POV I looked at Rosa, still reeling from the happiness of having her here, and the anger of Ryan breaking her heart. "He didn't break my heart." She glared at me. She could always tell what I was thinking. "Of course, he didn't. You broke his. It's his loss." "I didn't break his either. And yes, it's his loss. I never even wanted him in the first place." She rolled her eyes, cleaning the remnant tears under her eye lid. "I'm happy to be here with you." She suddenly changed the subject, making a wide grin appear on my face. "I'm happier, Rosa. I am so happy, that I could possibly break your bones if I hug you. But then, you just found your mate in a very unusual manner, and even though I have a lot of questions to ask you, I would rather sit beside you, and wait for you to get over this humiliating experience." At my words, she sniffled, releasing hot air from my mouth. Oh, my Rosa. Her eyes were so red, and I didn't need anyone to tell me why she cried so hard.
THIRD PERSON'S POV Emily opened her eyes and the bright rays of the morning sun almost made her blind. She quickly squinted her eyes shut, and opened them after a while. As her eyes adjusted to the brightness of the day, she hopped of her bed, looking around for something, or rather someone. Where could he be? He never left their chambers before she woke. Nonetheless, she dragged her feet into the bathroom for a shower and mouth wash. All the while she bathed, she had just one thought in mind. Him. She didn't know how she had become so whipped by him, but by the goddess, she couldn't help it. Whenever she was alone, the only picture that came to her mind was his face. When he smiled, how white his beautifully arranged set of teeth were, the way he looked when he paid complete attention to her. The boisterous sound of his laughter, anytime she won him in a game of chess. Emily was smitten! And for the life of her, she couldn't understand how she went from 'not wanting their
THIRD PERSON'S POV Xavier stared so intently at her, wondering why she had silently followed him all the way to his study. "Emily, why have you been acting really weird and..." "Don't even try to turn it on me!!" She yelled out in anger, catching him off guard. "You have been so distant! You barely have time to be with me anymore, yet you expect me to act like all is fine?" "There is a lot going on at the moment, Emily. This kingdom is on the brink of potential ruin and crisis! I'm trying my best." "Well, your best is not enough!!!" "What more do you want me to do, Emily?" He asked calmly. "Look at me!!" She yelled out in annoyance, and Xavier was even more surprised. He wondered what she meant by that. Everyone knew how much he worshipped the ground she walked on. Looking at her was something he definitely did all the time. "Look at me like I am the most important person to you!" She continued, breathing so heavily as she brushed her hand through her hair in mild fru
THIRD PERSON'S POV The lady dressed in a hood, walked past the bushy path, wondering how much more further she had to walk, before her mother showed up. Nonetheless, she continued walking until she heard her name. "Dianah!" She looked forward and saw the tall beautiful woman standing there. She had missed her so much. "Mother!" She ran into her arms, giving her a bone crushing hug. "Oh, my sweetheart. I've missed you." Annabelle said, caressing Diana's face. "I missed you too mama." She sighed, a small frown on her face. "Heyyy... It would all be over soon. Just give it a little time, okay?" "What if all these doesn't go as planned?" Dianah asked, a look of worry on her face. "That's because you haven't been working like we asked you to." Her mother softly chastised. "We haven't received any information from you in a while now. What going on?" "I don't know." Diana sighed. "I really do not know. Lately, we haven't really been getting as much information aft
AUDREY'S POV "Today it is your birthday and I sing to let you know, that you would be queen forever. What you say goes!" I opened my eyes the moment his voice filtered through my ears. There he was, a celebratory cap on his head, and a big cake in his hands. Logaaannn.... And just like every other year since we were apart, I forgot my birthday again. "The eleventh day in March." I whispered, realizing that it was indeed my birthday. "This song..." I trailed off, remembering my birthday five years ago, like it was just yesterday. That was the song Logan had sang to me. I looked at how far we had come, and tears of joy rolled down my eyes. This time around, I wasn't tensed or scared about when he'd find out I had betrayed him. I wasn't feeling so heavy because I fell in love with him, contrary to the assignment I was supposed to carry out. And definitely on this day, no one would rape me. Instead, I would spend the day in the arms of the very man I loved. My mate. My shot at
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
