“ So, do we have a deal?” Turning her attention away from Elder Hopkins as she shot a questioning glance at Logan, she wasn’t going to get anywhere near his car without getting the confirmation that she needed. Logan stared at her long enough to make the hair on the back of her neck stand and when she was sure he was going to refuse her, he watched her nod his head. “ We do, if you can break Lily’s curse, I will set you free.” “ You swear?” said Levy as she crossed her arms in front. “ I do not trust your word, don’t blame me for that but I do know just how sweet you were to Mavis, I don’t trust you. What if I wake Lily up by breaking her curse and you come ambling down at me saying that I haven’t suffered enough? I cannot risk that, I was a fool once but I won’t repeat the same mistake twice.” “ You dare——” started Elder Hopkins but Levy didn’t give a chance to aggravate her even further than she already was, this was supposed to be her long-awaited freedom and now she was once ag
“ What in the blazes you are doing?” she cursed pulling down the jacket that was thrown at top of her head out of nowhere. “ What in the hell does this means?” “Not as sweet as you were seven years ago, eh?” He commented before turning around to look at her, his huge build towering over her. “ I do remember that you didn’t like using curse words the last time I saw you.” “Why don’t I kick you where your sun shines and show you how sweet I am? Don’t worry I won’t kick you hard enough to break your nuts.” She smiled at him sweetly before throwing his jacket back at him, wasn’t as sweet as she was? Maybe if he hadn’t thrown her in a shit hole for seven years, she would still be the same. Naive, sweet and so in love with him. Levy brushed past him but Logan stopped her, as he threw his jacket back at her. “ Put that on, I do not wish to smell the grimy scent of your body while sitting in the same space as you.” “Yeah because you smell like a god damn bath bomb do you?” She snapped b
“What do you mean by I can’t go home? Where else do you want me to go?” Levy couldn’t believe him, he was stopping her from going back to her home, so where did he want her to go? Was he expecting her to live on the territory like a rogue? Knowing him, there was a good possibility that he might as well ask her to live on the territory under the shelter of the trees. Eyes narrowed she immediately pulled the hood of the jacket from his hand. “ I am not going to live in a tent if that’s what you have prepared for me.” Logan arched a brow and then smiled at her ‘not the genuine’ kind but instead, he smiled at her like he was seriously considering the idea of letting her live in a tent on the pack’s grounds. “ It’s not a bad suggestion but fortunately for you, I can’t let you live in a tent.” “ Then where will I live if not my house?” She asked looking at him in incredulity. “ With me.” After he spat those two words, Levy waited for him to say ‘hah, did you think that I will let you l
Logan ignored the low whine of his wolf along with the smallest of the hurt that flashed in his heart. There was no way he was going to feel sorry for this woman, the murderer of his beloved Mavis—— she might say anything she wanted in her defence, deny that she was the one who killed Mavis but to him, she was indeed Mavis’s murderer. It mattered not whether she killed Mavis with her own hands or someone else did. He lost Mavis because Levy wasn’t careful enough, the woman he kept in the palm of his hands was taken away from him all because Levy didn’t protect her well enough and he will never forgive her for that!As soon as he thought about the grievances that he has suffered after Mavis’s death, the slightest bit of pity that rose in his heart vanished until it returned to its usual frozen state. After all, his heart died the day Mavis was taken away from him. Now, the only reason he was alive was Lily. He needed to take care of that little girl and get her to wake up, only then
“ She is really back?” “ I thought they were joking when they said that they were going to bring her back.” “ How can he bring that thing back?” Contemptuous gazes, jeering words filled with ridicule—— Even though seven years have passed, Levy felt like she was dragged back to her past once again. Just like the last time, everyone was looking at her as if she was a criminal despite having no evidence in hands but this time those gazes didn’t hurt as much as they once did before this time she had no expectations from these people surrounding her and acting as if they were at the crime scene to witness what she did to Mavis. “ What is she doing here?” A high-pitched shriek echoed somewhere and then someone rushed towards Levy with a pace that could only be defined as wanting to trample on someone until they were nothing but a bloody pulp. “ Why is she here?” Levy raised her head and looked at the petite girl in front of her, with black as the midnight sky and eyes that were a vibr
“ That’s enough,” Logan caught her arm and pulled her back, his touch harsh and uncalled. Levy ignored the way her stomach fumbled and snatched her arm out of his grip and snarled, “ Don’t you ever touch me got it?” “ I have no intention of touching you either,” sneered Logan wiping his hands on his pants. “ I just wanted to let you know that you cannot talk to your alpha’s sister like that, the next time you are disrespectful as you were right now, I will have you locked in the dungeons where we keep the criminals.” He turned to look at Levy until she was looking at his front profile and raised a finger. “ For a week that is.” Levy’s wolf curled up her upper lips wanting to have a go at this ridiculous male in front of them. Did he seriously think that he can just go up and about while ordering them? If they were not in the predicament, she would have snapped his spine off his back and had him choke on it until he gagged. Levy, on the other hand, was much more inclined to rip his
Levy was angry enough to laugh out loud, staring at Logan she threw the notebook back at him and of course, he caught it with ease. She arched one brow and pointed to her curls that haven’t been washed since last week and said, “ I am not making a move until I take shower, you want me to slave myself away for you, the second I step into the house? Not happening. Tell me where is the shower and we will talk after I am done washing myself up.” He didn’t say anything while she was speaking instead after he was done listening he pushed himself off the counter and strolled towards her, his pace easy and slow as if he wasn’t in a hurry at all. Once he came to a stop in front of her, he shot her a fake smile and calmly said, “ You aren’t here to have a nice day out, Harlow… I brought you here to work so get on in and if you can’t do that then——” he unsheathed his claws and placed them against her abdomen and added, “ We can make things work out differently, now will you get on with what you
“Did you just tell me to shut up?” Logan stared at her as if he couldn’t believe that she really told him to keep his silence. Never did she see anyone looking as offended as Logan did at the moment, blowing the locks of her hair off her face, she arched a brow and said, “ I did, you have a problem with that?” “ Do I have a problem with that?” He parroted looking at her as if trying to see whether or not she was being real. With his hands on his waist, he laughed out in surprise and anger before his smile dropped and his expression turned serious, striding towards her, he came to a stop mere inches away from her. “ Now look here,” he clutched the front of her jacket and pulled her close to his face almost lifting her feet off the floor. “ There are some things that you need to learn and that’s —— one) you don’t tell me what to do, two) you stay the fuck away from me, and three) you do what I tell you to do…not the other way around, am I clear?” Levy smiled at him before leaning in
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
