Levy pulled up her mental bootstraps before she closed the door behind her and then turned to look at Logan, he seemed so effortlessly at ease but at the same time, she could sense that there were certain fluctuations in his eyes. He was tensed yet he was trying his very best to act as if he was unbothered, the same could be said about her bother, the latter seemed to be in fight-or-fight mode as if he was preparing himself to fight a battle that he was going to lose somehow. What the? Just what happened when she was gone? It seemed like forever before the door closed behind her and she hitched up a brow, though Logan’s silence was agonising, she couldn’t show it on her face, if she made it look like she was scared of him, Logan will only come at her even stronger. She has to make sure that no one caught hold of her weakness, this was something that she learned in the prison, the second you show weakness was the moment you lose your battles. “ What's up?” She ignored the way her pul
“ Yeah, you are not stupid enough to let me roam freely but you are wise enough to bring me here no?” scoffed Levy as she rolled her eyes and turned her head to look to the left. Seriously, what was wrong with them? Can’t they see that they were contradicting themselves? Moira’s face flushed but she didn’t say anything turning her head to look at Logan who parted his lips and asked, “ Did you meet with O’Neil?” Talk about jumping straight to the matter. Levy heaved a breath and then turned to look at Logan with a smile as she said, “ I did meet with him but——”“ You heard that? She just said that she met with O’Neil what else do you want?” Moira chimed in with a clipped voice as she turned to look at Jacob with a victorious expression as if she has just won a super hard criminal case. “ And maybe you didn’t pay attention to it but she is still talking,” retorted Jacob with a slightly annoyed expression. She understood Jacob’s feelings, for the first time she felt that she and her b
Levy curled a side of her mouth as she glanced at Logan, her eyes lacking warmth. “ Of course, if you are going to punish me then I have no other choice but to accept it, after all, it won’t be the first time you will be wrongly accusing me of something that I did not do.” He looked back at her and this time she could see that he was really looking at her, not the unwanted responsibility that was pushed on him or the woman who might be responsible for taking away the female he desired, this time his gaze met her head on with curiosity and assessment. She waited for him to say what he wanted to say with her arms dangling on her side awkwardly, she didn’t say anything nor did she interrupt him from speaking. With her mouth tightly pursed, she waited for him to speak, for once she wanted to hear what he really thought of her past his ill feelings.“ Leave us alone,” he finally said sitting up straight as he looked at his enforcers and asked them to leave. Levy frowned slightly, there wa
“ What…What did you say?” Levy double-blinked her eyes as she looked at Logan, not believing what she just heard. Did he really say what she just thought she just heard, was it true? She looked at him with a confused expression on her face and repeated her question, “ What did you just say to me?” “ I said I believe you,” Logan took another couple of steps back, his eyes staring right at her face. “ I might as well regret it but I will trust you this one time.” Levy did not say anything, she just stared at him long and hard before she burst out laughing, loud and harsh laughter echoed in the office. She didn’t know how long she laughed but she did know that she laughed for a long time, Logan didn’t stop her maybe he knew why she was laughing. Taking a long breath, she shook her head as the smile dropped off her face. “ Do you know that the word ‘trust’ sound really disgusting in your mouth? I guess you didn’t huh, or else you would not have dared to say that word in front of me.”S
Because of the agitation, she was feeling, Levy’s voice ended up getting a pitch higher. She couldn’t understand, she really counted…why was he looking at her like he was trying to understand something? Why was he saying things that she no longer wanted to hear? If only he has said the same thing seven years ago, she would not be like this, they wouldn’t be like this. “ You can hate me all you want without me giving you any more reasons to do so,” Logan blinked his eyes, his voice as soft as if he was trying to lull her to sleep. With a quick raise of his hand he pointed to her webbed eye and said, “ As long as this is here, you can hate me as long as you want. Don’t forget what you went through just because I gave an ounce of my trust, I still hate you just as much as I did seven years ago.” “ Of course, you don’t have to tell me.” She scoffed taking a few steps back and turning around to leave the room altogether, Levy was worried that if she was to stay another few minutes alone
“We use to come here when we were young, you remember it right?” Jacob brought her to the fried chicken restaurant that they used to go to every weekend with their mother. Levy looked at the big building with a flashy signboard that read —— Chuck you and for a second she couldn’t even compare it to the small wooden shack that she used to visit when she was ten or twelve. “ It has developed so much,” she murmured as she curiously looked around the entire restaurant, when she used to come here, it was a small building with a few tables and chairs stuffed in a small hall, an elderly grandma with her granddaughter used to fry the chicken nuggets and leg pieces in her special sauce right in front of them but now the entire building went over such a sudden change. The small open kitchen was now replaced by a food counter and the small hall was now big enough for at least a hundred people to fit in. “ You remember the small girl, the one who was called Sharon?” Jacob said as he headed to t
After that the memory was hazy, he couldn’t remember anything but after that incident, his mother would often bring him and Levy here, he thought she was making up to Levy who could not go to the party, who would have thought that she …The chicken wing dropped from his hand and he covered his face with his hands, feeling as if someone has just sucker punched him in the guts. “ Are you crying?” Levy asked when she heard a muffled sniff, she could hear the sound of someone sniffling and she was quite sure that the someone was none other than Jacob. “ No,” he replied rather too quickly but Levy didn’t miss the quivering note in his voice, seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, she turned her attention to the wings and started eating them without saying anything anymore. It took a whole ten minutes for Jacob to raise his head and look at her. “ I didn’t know it… I didn’t know it at all,” he murmured, Levy glanced at him lightly before turning to look somewhere over his
“ Did you have fun?” Jacob asked her after the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Levy took a glance at his lips that were shining with the paprika sauce and rolled her eyes as she scoffed, “ Yeah it was total fun watching you cry.” “ I didn’t cry—— what’s that?” he suddenly frowned causing Levy to twist her neck and look in the direction where he was looking—— a few feet away from them, they could see a family of three being dragged in the dark alley next to a boutique and from the looks of it they could see that neither of them wanted to follow the man who was walking behind them. Jacob’s brows twisted even more as he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “ I smell cougar, that man whoever he is.. he is a shifter.” She too has caught the scent of the cougar shifter but she didn’t make a move instead when she saw that Jacob was making a move, she immediately stretched her hand and stopped him from running after the shifter cougar. “ Where are you going?” Levy could
Levy didn’t even get a chance to breathe when Logan engulfed her in his arms. He tightly held her as he whispered,” Fuck, you scared me.” When Levy heard him say those words, her eyes softened. She knew that only a few minutes had gone by since she was taken to the magical realm by the goddess of magic. She then felt his body go pliant against herself as he questioned, “Why did you do it? You knew that you could have died and our child ….” He whispered as he looked at her abdomen. His wolf curled up protectively, fortunately, the child was still alive. Either through magic or the power that Logan had breathed into Levy’s body when her soul disappeared. “I didn’t want to do that,” Levy’s eyes darkened when she heard his words. With her hand placed on her abdomen, she said, “I had no idea that I was pregnant with our pup. If I had known then no matter how strong the resentment of my past was, I would have stopped her no matter what.” “Fortunately, I am fine and so is our pup, looks
“Happiness is subjective, my child. Once my daughter’s memories fade away, she will forget you,” said the Goddess with a calm voice. “But I cannot trust a man born from a shifter with my daughter.”Logan clenched his fists and said, “You are wrong. Levy is not like that, and you know that. She is the future of Elaine, and Elaine did not forget what Jasper and Alyssa did to her. Even though centuries passed by she kept that pain in her heart and soul.”“Even after her death, her soul did not forget the pain and continued to harbour the resentment that she could have forgotten,” Logan knew that he was playing with fire but he would rather burn to death than let Levy leave him. “I might have Jasper’s blood but I am not a vain and greedy man like him, I promise to love Levy and keep her happy. I will cherish her no matter what.” “I have heard these words, my child,” said the woman with a smile on her face. Though she was smiling there was a hint of contempt in her eyes. “I have heard the
Logan glanced at Derek. At that moment he felt like his heart was burning with a fire, one that he wished he could set free on the world. What was going on? His mate, who was fine just a moment ago was now dead. “Why? Why did this happen to her?” Logan questioned. His mate deserved better than this, no one deserved the world. So how come? Was there no God up there? How could they watch his mate lose her life like such?Derek opened his mouth and closed it back. He knew that Logan was in pain and he was not in a condition to understand anything. He reached out his hand and then held it in front of Logan before saying, “Take my hand, I can bring you and her to the southern palace.” The mana in his body was running low but he could still warp to the Southern Palace. Logan pursed his lips, he looked at Levy whose face was getting paler by the minute and then reached out to hold Derek’s hand. He did not know what lay in the Southern Palace but Levy was the one who asked him to go there
Carlisle’s expression changed. He wanted to escape but Derek seemed to have understood his intentions. He raised his hand and drew another array, the vines that had caught Carlisle in a vice-like grip, twisted and turned as they started to climb higher and higher until the vines had covered him completely. Derek didn’t even bat an eye as he tightened the vines, the sound of a mournful scream echoed in the distance before blood and flesh gushed out of the vines that had twisted around Carlisle's body. “You!” Alyssa turned to look at Derek. Her eyes flashed cruelly, she looked at Derek and sneered, “You killed your brother? Mavis was right, you have always been a stain on my blood.” When Derek heard her words, he calmly glanced at the woman. He said, “I might be a stain in the name of the dark witches and wizards but what about you, Father? You have killed your sister not to mention how many families have you ruined. No matter what, compared to you, I am still nothing.” Alyssa stare
The two people fell together. Alyssa who noticed that Levy had grown stronger, realized that the plan that she had come up with, seemed to have fallen through. “You have always been one pain in the bottom, sister,” Alyssa snarled, showing her dark teeth, that were rotting because of her body deteriorating with time. She raised her hand and then pushed herself off the boulder floating over her body. With the dagger that she had made with the claws of the first shifter, she aimed at Levy’s heart, with a twisted expression. But Levy raised her hand and drew an array to block the dagger. The sharp blade clashed with her shield, however, the dagger was made with the claw of a shifter. The two powers clashed with one another causing sharp waves to rise from the spot of the collision. The shield cracked and Levy waved her hand sending Alyssa to the side of the mountainous wall. However, Alyssa didn’t let Levy escape. She ignored the pain at her back and rushed to where Levy was, she caug
‘She has been preparing for this day for centuries,’ Elaine whispered. ‘And the dark witches and wizards are under her control. She must have deliberately licked out the wrong information. We have no time, you need to let me take over. Only when I have full control can I finish the last half of the curse.’ Levy thought about it, she had no way to get out of this cell as Alyssa seemed to have prepared it just for her. Her eyes narrowed and she said, ‘I am willing but I have one condition.’ ‘What is it?’ Elaine asked. ‘You will not kill or hurt Logan like you did the last time, no matter what the situation. I know that he shares the same blood as the man who betrayed us but he is my mate, I cannot lose him. As long as he lives, I am willing to do anything,’ Levy waited for the witch’s response as she had gone quiet.‘I will not kill him. Since you are my essence and he is your mate, I cannot take him away. I will think of a way to stop the curse from affecting him,’ Elaine gave her w
“Shut up!” Alyssa turned to look at Levy. Her eyes flashed with anger, and with her feet turning around she marched up to Levy, her chest heaved up and down as she said, “What do you mean by cowardly? I am the one who united the dark witches and wizards! I was the one who killed your mother and I was the one who took your father and mate away from you.” “Cowardly? Hah!” Alyssa’s eyes turned black. Her lips curled disdainfully, “Have you forgotten who sent you to the prison? It was I, dear sister... I was the one who ruined your life. All your lives!” “And yet you are here,” Levy smiled without sounding offended. She glanced at the rotten body that was patched and sewn together like a doll that had been sewn together because of a child’s stubbornness, who refused to throw it away. “In this pathetic condition.” “Elaine, you seemed to have turned much more talkative and bold than before. Don’t worry, sooner or later you will be in the same condition,” Alyssa then raised the vial that
Even though Derek spoke those words as soon as Levy breathed life into his corpse, he was a step too late. The trap that the dark witch had set for Levy was in motion, the second Levy tried to rescue Derek. She knew that Levy would try to save Derek the second, she found out about his death. The two of them have been so close to one another and Derek had even placed his life on the life to protect Levy. So how could that woman ignore him? Thus, she had created a port-way using Derek’s corpse which would lead Levy to her. The dark fumes rose in the morgue before ——“LEVY!” Logan’s eyes turned red with anger when he saw that his mate was taken away. His face twisted as he walked over to where Derek was lying. Logan did not care if this man just woke from the slumber of death, he only cared about one thing and that was ——Derek was the key to everything. “Where is my mate? Where did you take her? She saved your rotten life O Neil!” Logan’s fingers curled around Derek’s throat, if not
“W..what?” The glass in Levy’s hands slipped when she heard about Derek’s death. Pieces of glass were scattered all over the ground. “What did you say?” There was no way Derek was dead, she just met him a few days ago, how could he be dead all of a sudden? She asked Logan, “Who told you such ridiculous news?”“No one,” Logan sighed. He was at the council where the body of Derek was brought before being placed in the morgue. “I saw his corpse being carried to the morgue. His body was found by the forest rangers and they sent him to the council.” Logan knew that Derek was important to Levy, and even though she did not like him romantically, she cared for him just as much as Derek cared for her. This news must have shattered her in a way he couldn’t even imagine. “Ho…how could he be dead?” Levy muttered, her feet shaking as she staggered behind. If not for Logan, she would have fallen on the floor. “Careful,” Logan said as he reached out and caught her waist. “Can…can you bring me t
