LoganHer scent, mint and honey, wasn't new to me. But for someone who didn't know where he was, who he was, this woman right here was driving me crazy. Her beautiful eyes, her smile, the feel of her embrace, everything about her felt heavenly and pure.I caressed her cheeks, held her up, zooming into those magnificent blue eyes.I didn't want to let her go.I desired to cage her in my embrace and hold her forever.“That is our mate, you fucker.”I heard a voice in my head and I withdrew in fear, losing my balance and falling ass flat on the floor. This voice emerged after I had told the woman in front of me I didn't know her. “Logan, you don't remember me?” She queried. I regained my stance with a conflicted expression. She stepped toward me, and I backtracked in fright.“Careful, else you'll fall again.” She giggled with an amused look.“You’re pregnant. I should be worried about you.” The concerned expression on my face hadn't faded.“Our pups.” She muttered and leveled her gaze at
LoganI slowly rose to a sitting position, palming my forehead to ease the headaches that attacked me from every corner. I struggled to steady my vision. The door flew open. Looking up at the magnificent lady that had just walked in. I inhaled all of her scent, my wolf running crazy at the sight of our gorgeous mate.I remember everything.Ours, ours, ours. My wolf purred.My mate. So beautiful.I rose to my feet and hurried toward her, pulling her into an embrace. I couldn't let her go. I didn't want to. If loving her dearly, deeply is the only thing I get to do during my time on this earth, then I'm content. I couldn't bear the thought that I would have withered from existence without seeing her one last time. Tears rolled down my cheeks, and she held my face. “It’s ok.” She comforted me.“No, it's not.” The memories of what I had done washed through me.“Sh, sh,” she said. Her voice pacified me, and I nodded in affirmation of her words. “You need to speak with Shannon. You can't tak
GrainneTrigger Warning: Sexual Assault/Rape Scene AheadFive years ago.My father and the other royal bloodlines had gathered at the Elder Woods, awaiting the Alpha of Night Shade Pack. That man was always late at every convention. I wondered why Logan hadn't taken up the mantle of leadership yet. He could only be at the clubhouse, and I had to go get him and drive his ass back to the Elder Woods.Marching down the pathway, I moved to the red cabriolet parked by the tree line, and I entered the vehicle, igniting the engine. I pressed on the gas, taking the path and driving straight to the clubhouse.Once I had arrived at the pub, I squeezed the car into the parking space and alighted, shutting the door in a slam. I crossed over to the other side of the road, entering the club. I met the Alpha sitting by the counter and pouring himself shots. “You should be at the courthouse.” I said as I stepped closer to him.“I know. That was two hours ago, Grainne. They should go back to their home
GrainneFive years agoI spent the past two weeks alone locked up in my room, crying myself to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares.He raped me.I hadn't told anyone. Who would believe that their alpha sexually assaulted me? He'd probably get away with it. The longer I stayed locked up in my room, the worse it got. I just had to do something, anything, just to get rid of the pain.I made my way out of my room and headed straight to the training grounds, but on my way, I saw that they had ended today's schedule. We only had a few hounds attack now and then. But it wouldn't hurt if we got ready for an inevitable futuristic battle. My father was with some young wolf bloods. He looked at me with an excited smile and waved at me. I sauntered toward him, and he dismissed the shifters, acknowledging my presence.“Hey, sweetie.” He pulled me into an embrace.“Hi, dad. How are you?”“I should ask you that. I haven't seen you in weeks,” he smiled with a concerned look.
FreyIt's been a week since Shannon left the pack. In her absence, the coven continued to take their training seriously, and I have equally mastered the skills required for basic spell casting. Agatha said it was time for me to use my grimoire and told me we would kick off tomorrow, take things one at a time because of my pregnancy. There was only a month left and I would be due. I was so excited to meet and hold them in my arms for the first time. I hadn't come to terms with the entirety of my powers because sometimes I wondered if I would understand what I was or if it would remain auras and weaves forever. Again, I was equally nervous about how my growing abilities would affect my unborn pups.We were having a meeting at the courthouse to decide on Regan’s fate. We wouldn't kick him out of the pack. The Elders had to ensure that he was eligible to stay with us as Logan had made his former decision hurriedly. Upon arrival at the Elder woods, I met the ranked wolves gathered in the c
LoganI kissed Frey goodbye and left with Tyler to do the duties that were unattended to in my absence. If there was one thing, it was that I had a family who stood by me through everything and still believed that I could lead the pack. What I did was irreparable and I would spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins if need be. There was a future for us, the wolves and witches, and it might not be soon, but I could tell.Tyler nudged my shoulders, pulling me out of my thoughts as we marched down the road. “Hey, are you ok?”“Yeah, I'm fine. Just having some reflections on what happened.”“The only way you can move on is to accept the fact that it has happened and you can't change the outcome. But what you can change is yourself, so it doesn't affect your future.” Tyler advised. Ok, since when did he get so good at the whole counsel thing. He saw the look of surprise and confusion on my face and he chuckled, saying, “It’s ok. I had to join a therapy session organized by the witches
GrainneTyler shielded his face from the abrupt rays of light that emerged into the dark corner that I had locked him up in for a goddess knows how long. The wolves dragged him out of the shit hole, down to the hallway, three turns to the left and one to the right. We arrived at the torture chamber and they pushed him to the cold, hard floor.Falkor was standing in front of the fire, watching over the poker heated by the hot flames.The hounds lifted him effortlessly from the floor, bound him to the chains strapped to the ceiling. His feet were about six inches above the ground, with his head bowed.“Grainne, what are you doing?” he shook his head in denial. “Look at me!” he growled. I arched my brows, completely taken aback by this whole new morale that he had suddenly developed even though he was in captivity. I folded my arms across my chest and rolled my eyes as I stepped toward him slowly.“Don’t worry, Tyler. This is just the beginning.”“You are in collaboration with these monst
LoganGrainne and Tyler went after the wolves that had breached the pack's territory. I had to understand why the barrier wasn't working since the witches tied the spell to the oak tree in the compound or whether a witch compromised the barricade.Alex and I headed to the witch’s side of the pack while Regan and Keaton returned to the pack house to ensure that our mates and children were safe.We arrived at the coven's dwellings; I saw three young witches standing in a circle with their hands entwined together, talisman wrapped around their wrists, and lips moving in sync. Aiden was observing them and asking them to restart the spell each time they failed. I didn't know what kind of spell this was because of the unfamiliar language, but it must have been some kind of defensive spell and might have disrupted the barrier.When Aiden saw me, he broke off the group and marched toward me with arched brows as he noticed the confused expression on my face. “What is it, Alpha?”“Hounds got int
