LOGAN’S POV“Luke, inform the rest of my prestigious men that a meeting is to be held immediately. The meeting will begin in an hour. Be sure to have them arrive before the meeting commences,” I said so I got up from my bed.“Yes, Master,” Luke gestured a bow before leaving the room.I grabbed Gertrude’s head and headed for the bathroom. I dipped his head in the tub because I had noticed the letters I sent two days ago. They’ve been stamped as accepted and sent back. I had left the letters on the table by the big mirror in the bathroom.I snatched the letter from the table and had a look at them. I had planned to visit the first three packs who were secured on the plan. I had planned to visit the other two packs on an occasionally different day. I plan to gain their trust without the help of my spy, Timothy.After freshening up, I left for the meeting room..“I summoned you all here because I wanted to inform you all about my meeting today. I’ll be departing today till whenever becau
LOGAN’S POV“Your meeting with the alpha of the wolftillian pack sure needed fast,” Killian mentioned.“You’re right,” Naniel cut in. “It was as if you knew what would happen before it happened.”I reached into my pocket and pulled out my pocket watch. I took a glimpse at the watch before inserting it into my pocket. The time said a quarter past four. We had spent five hours traveling and two hours in the wolftillian pack. We had already left the territory of the Wolftillian pack and headed for the territory of the Red claw pack. Though it was getting pretty late. Fortunately for us, the three packs I had planned to visit today aren’t so far apart.“Where are we headed next? What pack do you intend on visiting next?” Luke asked.“The Red claw pack,” I said with an expressionless look on my face.“The Red claw pack…” Killian said while caressing his chin. “I’ve heard of that pack before. I just can’t remember what they were famous for.”“You’ve forgotten that they were ruled by Thunder
AMBER’S POVIt’s been three days since I last visited the butterfly garden and I’ve been dying to visit it again. But it seems like Grandal doesn’t want to leave me alone. He’s been clinging to me more than ever. He’s also fund of alphas Scott. That’s a relief to me because I could leave him with the alpha and have some alone time for myself where I could admire butterflies or sit down on rocks near the waterfall.I opened my diary and read about some of the butterflies I had written about from my last visit. I also managed to draw some of them but anyone could tell that I was a terrible artist.“These species or butterflies in the garden are only two and they’re super rare. They could only be found in the desert. And they really adorable! I wish I could have one for myself. I want to look at it everyd as I wake up so I know that my day is blessed. It’s a good thing that Alpha Scott is playing with Grandal,” I offered a deep sigh of relief. “The sun has began to set, I think I should
LOGAN’S POV“You should’ve given us the permission to do the talking instead, Master. I could’ve broken his face in several pieces!” Naniel yelled furiously. “How dare such a lower ranked alpha speak to alpha Logan with such a high tone?! He has disrespected you, Master. That offense is an unforgivable offense.”“Regardless of the way Naniel is speaking, he’s right, Master. We should have harnessed his heart and fed it to him,” Luke said as he spat out his toothpick and inserted another one.I brought out my pocket watch and glanced at the time before returning it. Rhett had taken up three hours of my time. It was very late now and we had only one meeting to attend. We couldn’t possibly go tomorrow because the meeting was scheduled for today.“It’s already pretty late, Master. There’s a cottage nearby where we can spend the night and continue tomorrow,” Naniel said.“Our next meeting is scheduled today. We can’t afford to miss it or we may never get the chance,” Gertrude, who hadn’t s
LOGAN’S POV“Isn’t it strange to see someone out here so late at night?” Gertrude asked with a worried look on his face.I carefully examined the face of the stranger while approaching him.“Oh! Hey there, Alpha Logan!” The stranger called out. It turned out that who we had recognized as a stranger was Alpha James.“Hey there! You startled us! What are you doing up so late?” Gertrude asked.I decided to sit beside him and watch the stars because our purpose of coming outside so late at night was similar.“Are you also here to watch the stars?” He asked.“Yes,” I replied.“I know right,” Alpha James inhaled and exhaled calmly, wearing a wide grin on his face. “The world is so beautiful, don’t you agree?”What’s with this Alpha? Why does he tend to grin and laugh always like there’s nothing to be worried about, I wondered.“What’s with all this grinning and pretense of happy living? Your cheerfulness will definitely bring an end to your life!” I yelled furiously.“And what harm would it
AMBER’S POVThe rays of the sun pierced through my windows and poured on the floor in my room. The bright sun had woken me up from a slumber even Grandal couldn’t. I got up and fed him as quickly as possible before he woke everyone in the palace with his loud screams. After feeding him, I got him freshened up. I also freshened up because I was expecting Beth today.After a while, I heard a knock on the door of my room. It was Beth.“Come in, Beth,” I said.She hurriedly rushed into the room and sat down on the bed.“So…Amber?” She called.“Yes.”“What are you doing today? Do you have any plans today?” She asked impatiently.“Me? Of course I don’t. Do you have anywhere you want to visit with—”The knock on the door interrupted me.“Who is it?” I asked with a riddles look on my face.“It’s me, Scott,” Alpha Scott replied from behind the door.I hurriedly opened the door without any further questions“Why are you always knocking, Alpha Scott? You should enter anytime you wish,” I said po
LOGAN’S POVI threw my coat on the coat rack while I walked up to my cupboard. I brought out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. I placed Gertrude’s head on the table, then I filled both glasses with whiskey.I sighed heavily as I threw myself on the couch. I sipped from glass and laid back as I began to unbutton my shirt. I had gotten pretty sleepy after journeying endlessly without rest, but I still had to give a response to this matter.I heard a knock on the door and I asked who it was.“It’s Luke, Master. I know you might be resting but I wish to speak with you,” Luke said.“You may come in, Luke. He isn’t resting,” Gertrude replied.Luke entered the room and closed the door behind him.“Master, I would like to talk to you about—”“It’s about the letter, Am I right?” I interrupted him.“Yes, Master.”I walked up to my coat and reached into the pocket. I yanked out the scroll and tossed it to him before retreating to the couch.Luke opened the scroll and began to read.“We know a
AMBER’S POV“Why are you asking me that question? How would I know?” I asked while staring suspiciously at her.What the hell is she trying to do? How did she figure out who I was? What type of game is she playing? I wondered.“If you don’t know then I’ll gladly tell you. His name is…I think I’ve forgotten who he was,” Alice said, wearing a wide grin on her face while staring at me.“Uhm, it saddens me that you both can’t become friends. Alice will be departing today. I’d pictured you both getting along really—”“Departing? Me? I would never leave this palace when I’ve just found a potential friend for myself. Why would I leave so suddenly after just finding out her name? That wouldn’t be very nice would it? I would like to stay in the palace from now on to know more about my dearest new friend, Amber. I hope that’s fine with you, Scott?” She asked Scott while staring at me, wearing an awkward smile. It was clear from her looks that she had other reasons why she wanted to stay in the
LOGAN'S POVIt's been a week since Amber and I were joined by the mating bond in the mating ceremony.The preceding days have been nothing but blissful. Carrying Grandal everywhere with me, even to court meetings with the elders of the pack. It felt like I was trying to make up for the times that we were apart from each other.As for Amber, she glowed every day, blossoming like a flower. Every day, I set my eyes on her, I can't help but desire to take her to bed and make love to her.But then, I didn't mean to rush things. I had treated her badly in the past, sexually, and would want our sexual encounters henceforth to be better.It was a bright cool morning and I prepared for my meeting with the elders. We had a lot to deliberate on, and I wouldn't want to keep them waiting.I arrived at the pack's house, the sun slowly rising from its abode in the sky. I walked into the hall and the elders were already seated, their faces expectant.I exchanged pleasantries with them, as I took my s
LOGAN'S POVHaving my family in my arms felt like the best thing that has happened to me at that moment. I could not believe that after such a while, I was finally reunited with them.“Are you alright?” I inquired, disengaging from the hug to take a proper look at them.Amber looked shocked, like she had seen a ghost but nodded, “Yes, we are.”Quickly, I turned to my men. “A number of you should fetch the pot while the rest and I will proceed home with Scott, my mate and my son.”My men nodded and walked off to carry out the order while a number of them stayed back. “Come on, it's time to head home,” I rose to my feet and pulled Amber up. “Let me have him,” I said, gesturing to my son.Amber obliged and handed him to me and surprisingly, he didn't make a fuss but relaxed comfortably in my arms.Turning to my men, I ordered, “let's head home, our mission is completed.” They nodded and we filed out of the dungeon. We made our way outside Scott's pack house, the dead bodies of his men
LOGAN'S POVI had assembled my men on returning from the seer's home. I filled them in on what the seer revealed, and I also informed them about the ritual to be held.They were all supportive as they all wanted Scott defeated as much as I wanted. So in the preceding days, I made preparations for the ritual, making provision for all the necessary materials we needed. And so the D–day arrived. The seer led me and my men to a large, open field on the outskirts of the Red Fanged Pack's territory. The moon was full in the sky, casting a silver glow over us. My men stood in a circle around me, their eyes fixed on me.The seer stood at the center of the circle, her eyes closed, her hands raised to the moon. “The moon goddess demands a ritual to weaken Scott's hold on the sacred pot,” she declared, her voice reverberating across the field.I nodded, my heart pulsating with anticipation. I knew that this ritual was the key to rescuing my mate and son.The seer began to chant, her voice risi
LOGAN'S POVThat night, I couldn't sleep as I kept tossing on the bed, nightmares of Amber and Grandal sleeping in a dungeon plaguing my dream.I couldn't believe Scott could be that cruel to a little child. I was even more angry at Amber for running off to my enemy's territory.I was unable to sleep as I rose from bed in the wee hours of the morning to visit my study. I tried to attend to some paperwork to get my mind off the events of the previous day, but I couldn't.It was in my restless state that I fell asleep on my study chair. The knock on the door roused me from sleep.“Come in,” I answered, groggily sitting up.My advisor stepped in, his face bearing an urgent expression. “Good morning, Alpha. The seer has sent for you on the moon goddess’s order.”My eyes immediately lit up. “Is it about my mate and son?”“I doubt. You have to hear her call right away.”I nodded and rose from the chair as I made my way back to my chambers. I freshened up and got changed into something befit
SCOTT'S POVAfter sending out the letter to Logan, I instructed my men to get prepared because I was sure Logan would come for war.He was a man of pride who never said no challenges, and just like I predicted, he arrived with his men Two days after I sent out the letter.“Alpha Logan and his men are here, armed to the teeth.” My advisor came to inform me, in my study.I let out an amused laughter. “Just like I expected. The men should not panic because he and his men won't be able to penetrate.” I said with so much confidence.My advisor nodded and exited the study.After he left, I took my time before heading outside to see Logan and his men. I walked out of the study, a smirk plastered on my face. I made my way to the palace gate, where Logan and his men were waiting. As I approached, I could see the determination in their eyes, but I knew it was futile.“Logan, Logan, Logan,” I said, shaking my head. “You really thought you could take on me and my pack? You're no match for us.”
LOGAN'S POVSince our rescue, today was the day I was finally meeting with my men. The reason being that I wanted everyone to be fully recuperated for the tasks at hand.I intended to restore the pack to its previous state. Compensate every family that Noel had killed their loved one or loved ones or stolen from them.I also intended to compensate Jayde and Laura for the inhumane treatment meted out to them by Noel. I also handed back the Zion's pack back to Laura.Afterward, I want to begin my search for Amber and my son. But before that, I had to summon the moon goddess for her opinion.“You all are welcome,” I said to my men as they all assembled in the throne room, on my orders.“We have a lot to discuss, but first I want to specifically thank you all for sticking by me. It is only unfortunate that we lost one of us during that trying mind,” at the mention of that, their eyes turned misty.“Wherever he is, Killian will be happy to know that we got the pack back. For that, I want u
SCOTT'S POVI stormed out of Amber's room, my vision blinded by fury. I couldn't believe that the woman and her child I have been harboring and come to take as family are the mate and son of the man I detest with every single fiber of my being.Amber–who would have thought a woman as calm, conserved and innocent like her is capable of such deceit? More reasons why quiet females should be avoided at all cost.I arrived at my study, the walk from Amber's room doing nothing to alleviate how I was feeling. I felt used, betrayed and foolish.Lowering myself on my seat, I reminisced on the raid carried out by Logan and his men. My fury skyrocketed as I thought about the number of my soldiers and pack members that were lost that night.No matter how hard I tried to wave the painful thoughts, owing to my promise to Amber to keep her and Grandal safe, the images of that night still came surging back like an angry tide.My heart constricted painfully in my chest. Such an act was too difficult
LOGAN'S POVI have never felt satisfied and relieved like I felt when I delivered the blow to Noel's face.“You bastard!” I growled and charged towards him, aiming to hit him again, but I was restrained by the other Alphas.“You need to get a grip on yourself, Alpha. You need to recover first, he will be here to get the penalty of his deeds. You need detoxification as I can smell poison all over you.” Sir James said, pulling me backward.As if on cue, I felt a wave of dizziness and I staggered backwards.“Are you okay?” I heard different voices in the background as my head swoon. I tried to stay stable, but couldn't. I doubled up, and my legs gave way beneath me as I lost consciousness.That was all I recalled as I woke up to find myself on a bed. Groggily, I opened my eyes and was met by pairs of worried eyes staring down at me.“Thank God he is awake,” a voice said, and I tried to prop myself up on the bed but stopped as a banging headache overtook me.“Don't stress yourself, Logan.
NOEL'S POVI turned to the maiden and harshly ordered her to leave my chambers. Hurriedly, I slipped my manhood back into my trousers.Turning to Olivia, I asked. “Are the soldiers retaliating?”“They are, but they seemed outnumbered. These people mean business, and the arms that they have with them are ones that I have never seen before.” Olivia explained, her eyes misty with fear.“Go on, I'm coming after you.”Hesitantly, she stared at me before hurrying off.Confusion overtook me as I slipped into my fighting clothes, wondering who these Invaders were. And to worsen things, they attacked at night, a vulnerable time when everyone would be exhausted from their diverse daily activities.My confusion was replaced by fear. My soldiers are not prepared enough because no one was expecting an attack.“Cowards!” I cussed at the Invaders. They didn't even have the decency to warn me beforehand about their attack.I was even more scared because there was no way to reach the Giants that had
