LoganWe emerged from the tree line down to the roadway, with Alex still holding onto my feeble frame. The clouds had taken their dark blue color, and we had to find a place to rest for the night. That wasn't an option for my Gamma. He had to get me to the Rogue's Pack because staying out here for too long would only weaken me and leave me as dead weight. My skin had turned pale, and I was running high on fever. I was wrestling with my eyes to keep them open and the venom of the hound's bite on my leg was spreading up to my thighs. I wasn't sure that I would survive this. That I'd make it. What if I didn't? What if I don't see my wife ever again? I had to fight for my family, for my kids, for my pack. I had to survive for my mate. Fight harder, Logan. Fight. You can do this.I grunted and tapped on his shoulder, asking him to slow down. He sighed and placed me on the tree bark, struggling to keep his breathing in check. “We’ll get there. You just have to hold on just a little longer.”
FreyI felt a sharp pain travel from my pelvic region, and a groan escaped my lips, getting Shannon’s attention. She watched me and I chuckled nervously. “It’s ok. The babies are just kicking.” I reassured her that everything was fine as we drove down the path. We were driving closer to the Rogue's Pack. The pain came again, and I held onto my back and groaned. My eyes widened as I realized I was having contractions. My breathing tripled. I struggled to steady my breath as Shannon drove into the Rogue's territory where two armed guards were standing on duty.Shannon pressed on the brake as she rectified things with the patrol and continued the journey, heading straight into the pack house.We pulled up in front of the pack's mansion, where I saw Alex standing with Tyler. He had a hopeful look in his eyes, but when Shannon and I alighted from the vehicle, the anticipation in his eyes faded. He was expecting Adelyn.A trembling sigh escaped my lungs as I strolled toward them. Shannon was
LoganWas this what it felt like to be a dad?When I held my sons, I felt pride, joy, and inexplicable love for these little minions who hadn't let me sleep in days. I loved them even more than I could imagine no matter how tiny they were; they were still so beautiful. The primal instinct I had was to protect them and make this world a better place for them. I was certain parenting won't come easy especially with taking care of the pack, but Frey and I would get through this together.I carefully set the kids down into the baby cot when they had finally fallen asleep in my arms after I had sung them a lullaby for almost an hour. An exhausted sigh escaped my lips as Frey barged into my room, and I glanced at her with wild eyes, hushing her instantly. “The kids. They're asleep.” I whispered as I moved toward her. These little ones really knew how to keep us on our toes, but I didn't regret any moment I had spent with them. I never will. It had been a week since she put to bed, and she ha
LoganWe had arrived in our home and stationed our vehicles in the dark woods just outside the pack borders. Tyler and Keaton were looking at the number patrols surrounding the pack's border and, thankfully, there weren't so many of them. He had informed us through the mind-link that Grainne had changed the patrol team. That was what I expected. I mean, if she had let the patrol wolves take care of the pack’s security, then she would make it easier for us.A rustle in the forest pulled my attention, and I turned on my heels as my eyes gained their crimson glow. I sighed in relief when I saw Keaton and Tyler emerging from the cluster of woodlands. It had taken them so long I was worried. But now they were back, we were going to discuss how we would take care of this without killing the innocent and that included everyone that lived in our pack at the moment. “How many are there?” I inquired.“A lot. They haven't discovered our presence because their wolf's senses are not as powerful as
TylerWe moved toward the direction of the south of the pack. I was in wolf form and Keaton in human form, killing the hounds that posed a threat to our lives. I heard Logan’s voice in the mind-link. Don't kill anyone unless necessary. I wouldn't get killed in battle because I was feeling generous. If they as much tried to raise a finger at me while we both negotiated keeping their lives. I would kill them without thinking twice.An arrow left Keaton’s crossbow and struck the hound hurrying toward us. He was taking down the creatures’ legs, so they weren't able to fight back.I sprinted after the second creature, leaping into the mid air and raking my claws against it. The wolf passed out, and we both proceeded to the wing where we built the pack's dungeons.We didn't expect less than a freak show, so we both hid behind the thorn bushes and observed the hound guards that were standing at the entrance armed with weapons. There were about fifteen of them. Grainne knew if we were reclaimi
GrainneI emerged from the pack house with Adelyn and the kids. I had gotten intel from Jacinthe that Logan and his men had invaded the territory. Shit was about to go down and the first thing I had to do was get pregnant Adelyn and the kids to safety. The only safe place I could think of was the elder woods. There would be no reasoning with Logan if he found me, but that didn't mean I'd just submit to him. I'd fight until there was no strength left.We had arrived at the entrance of the elder woods, and the kids had already walked through the barrier the witches had put up. Adelyn was still arguing about taking my kid away, but I wouldn't let her. The last thing I needed was to be separated from my son. Not again.I took Connery away from the elder woods, heading to the nearest path that led to the exit of the pack territory. The safest place for him to disappear through. I showed my son places he could stay anytime we were under attack, so I could find him after the chaos had died do
LoganIt was over.The last thing I recalled was Grainne resisting my alpha aura.I was in a hospital with a bandage wrapped around my stomach and head. I glanced at my side and I saw Frey sitting in the chair. She smiled at me brightly and I groaned and slowly shot to a sitting position. “What am I doing here?” I asked, pulling off the IV on my arm.“You sustained a lot of injury, but you're healing faster than expected.”“Well, I need to get out there and fix things.”“Save your strength, Alpha. We'd make good on our promises after the full moon tonight.”“Wait, how long have I been out?”“Two days. Grainne must have hit you pretty hard.”“What about the twins, Tyler, Keaton?” I inquired. Frey's face drained of color and she tried to hide the grief marking her face, but I had already noticed it. I struggled out of the bed and changed into a new set of clothes, ignoring her protests of getting some rest.“What happened, Frey?”“Keaton didn't make it. Eloy as well. Tyler has been lying
FreyThe morning sunlight splashed into the room when I parted the velvet curtains to the apartment. Trust me, the babies gave me a hard time last night, and we barely got some sleep. I wondered if I cried as much while my father and mother raised me. My mother. I wondered why she didn't show up at the battle. Or had she just disappeared out of the blue? And completely cut ties with even Pierson. Fortunately for the bastard Pierson, he had escaped the pack when he saw the battle was no longer in his favor.After I got out of the shower, I pulled on new clothes and made sure I fed the babies. I walked downstairs to meet the rest of the family who had gathered for breakfast. It didn't seem all bubbly and fun as usual, as everyone was dealing with the loss. But we had a substantial morning meal. I finished breakfast and kissed Logan goodbye, then I headed to the witch’s side of the pack, leaving my kids in the hands of Adelyn and the twins.Today I was going to break the hound curse and f
