A gasp escaped her lips as her consciousness returned to her body, she blinked her eyes as she looked at the dark ceiling that was dimly lit and pushed herself off the couch. The pillow slumped down her body onto the floor as she wiped the sweat covering her forehead, she touched her cold face that was covered with beads of cold sweat and did not know whether it was because the medicine was working or it was the fear that she just felt. Her heart was still beating when she got up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen where she opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water, she drowned a few gulps of water and only then did her heart calm down a little. “What was that?” She asked no one in particular as she placed the water bottle on the counter of the kitchen and placed a shaking hand over her forehead, something was up. Back when she saw the woman in the silver mask she hadn’t thought much about it but now she was sure that there was some sort of relationship betwe
“ What is that supposed to mean?” Logan’s brows narrowed as he looked at the woman in front of him. What did she mean by this, was she questioning his authority as the alpha of the pack? “ As much as I accept the fact that you want to condemn me at every possible turn, don’t you think that you are being a tad bit rude by questioning me like this?” Logan thought that Levy was deliberately trying to find fault with him which was why he was a bit harsher with his words but when he saw Levy roll her eyes at him, he couldn’t help but get confused by her actions. What was she doing?“I do not care about you nor do I care about you being able to rule your territory or not, the thing that I care the most about is my safety,” she raised her hand and then grabbed the zipper of her hoodie before dragging it down, once the zip was resting somewhere around her waist, she pointed to her neck where seven marks of fingers were visible because of them still being glaring red. “ But in case someone br
“ You seem to be mad,” Keith said lightly as he untied the apron’s strings and looked at Levy who was mopping the floor. He looked at her face which was twisted in a sort of grimace as she continued to mumble under her breath, though he did not understand what she was saying he could, of course, catch the venomous hiss every time Levy said the name ‘ Logan’. “ I am not mad,” replied Levy as she smashed the mop on the floor so hard that she almost snapped the mop in half, before swinging her arms she continued with her diatribe that she wished she could throw at Logan after she smashed his face with the back of her head, she left the lodge after all even if she was grounded, Logan hasn’t refused to let her continue her work, she thought that if she was to focus her attention in work, she would no longer be as worked up as she was but looks like she was hell wrong. “ ‘I know that I was wrong Levy, fking bastard,’ If he knew he was wrong he should have said so years ago instead of leav
Keith didn’t say anything for a while instead he placed his cup on the kitchen counter and then lowered his gaze, it took a little while for him to speak again. “ If he is doing something like that, then I am afraid that he is confused between you and his past. As you told me that he is your mate, he is destined to be with you, surely he would feel heavily attracted to you no matter what, but then again he seemed to have not given up on his past which is why his actions are sometimes confusing.”When he raised his head, his gaze met with Levy’s confused one, he smiled and added swiftly, “ Sometimes people are like that, they don’t know what they want, and they often confuse themselves by their constant ifs and buts that go in their heads only to lose what matters the most in the end.” Levy did not understand what Keith meant by that but she could sense that he didn’t want her questions about this, so she sighed and then picked up the mop in her hand as she placed it bucket and then s
“ Why else? Because a certain someone broke my nose and then ran away from the pack without so much as giving me a chance to say anything. Furthermore, the sky is now covered with clouds, it’s going to rain,” he added swiftly before pointing to the sky where the moon was no longer shining brightly but instead was hiding behind the grey clouds that were glittering with silvery lighting. “ If you are here to scold me about me breaking your nose then I have only one thing to say to you, don’t bother because I have no regret and I will do it again in case you try to pull the same stunt as you did today,” Levy wasn’t scared of Logan, she knew that if he wanted to hurt her then he would have approached her from behind instead of waiting for her out in the open like this and even if he was to try and hurt her, she would be able to take care of him. She was no damsel in distress and Odd one out was still open and functioning, if she was to shout Leo and Keith will definitely come to her aid
“ Does it matter?” He asked back with a slight tilt of his head before raising his hand and placing it on top of her head. He ruffled her hair as one would do to their pet dog or cat. “ The fact doesn’t change that you have been getting more and more out of control, despite me telling you that you need to listen to me, you have been running around doing whatever you want and maybe it’s because I have been lenient on you, you seem to have gotten more and more out of control, Levy. Last time you transfigured me and today you broke my nose and even put a spell before leaving such that I won’t be able to heal it, isn’t that what you did?” Levy stiffened, she did not expect Logan to catch on to that. Yes, she did put a spell but that was only to slow the rate of his wounds healing other than that there was nothing that she did to him, yet he was able to catch on.“ My, my you seem to have gotten really ahead of yourself, haven’t you?” He chuckled lightly with a sharp glint in his eyes. “
“ Are you done?” A voice questioned from above, at some point Logan arrived behind her and now he was holding her waist tightly such that she would not fall in the pull, he sounded bored and impatient. It was as if Levy was acting like a spoiled brat who did not know what was good for her, it only made Levy’s cheek get even more inflamed as she glared at him through the veil of her wet hair that was almost sticking inside her eyes. “ I did not ask for your help,” she replied haughtily at least as haughtily as she could when her clothes were clinging to her and she looked like a bedraggle chicken that have fallen face first in a pond. “ You are the reason I am in this mess.” “ Now you are being unreasonable,” he said dark amusement dripping from his tone. “ I asked you to get in the car, I came to the place where you work because I knew it was going to rain given that neither you nor Ryan drives this close but despite me playing the good guy, you went ahead and did your own thing, no
“ I feel cold,” said Levy as she leaned back even further, her wolf was egging her to get closer and only she knew how hard it was for her to resist the temptation. She swallowed hard as her pulse began to pick its pace, her head was getting dizzier by the minute as both her wolf and Logan attacked her. She had to blink her eyes again and again while clenching her fingers to make sure that she stayed as sane as she could with her wolf battling for control. “ Says the one who ran away from a perfectly decent invitation to get inside the car when asked, sometimes I can’t help but wonder whether you are really as wise as you make yourself look or are you just plain idiot?” He tilted his head slightly back as he retreated away from her. He shook his head as he looked at her appearance and sighed, “ Simply an idiot, look at yourself,” he scoffed as he pointed to her head. “ You knew that it was going to rain, even if I wanted to screw you for your blatant disrespect, you should have been
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
