LOGAN’S POV“Now now, why are you holding your dagger, Killian? We aren’t here to fight or anything,” he said. The tall fellow looked like an alpha. No, he doesn’t look like one, he is one. He looks like someone I’ve seen before but I can’t remember where.“Who are you and why do you know my name?” Killian asked, wearing a hard scowl on his face.“Calm down, Killian. I’m not here to cause any trouble. After all, I’m a friend of Alpha Logan’s,” he said with a wide grin on his face.“Friend?” Gertrude asked, puzzled. “You really think you can fool us?”“I’m not fooling anyone, Gertrude. I’m just stating a fact,” he said as he giggled.“Who are you?” I asked while staring at him.“Oh my! Why would you ask me that question? Have you suddenly forgotten who I am? C’mon Logan, it’s Noel, your childhood friend,” his tone became thicker when he said the last word in his sentence.“I don’t know any Noel,” I replied.“That’s always like you. You have a poor memory while I have an excellent one.
LOGAN’S POV“Spend the night?! Do you know what you’re saying, Alpha Laura?!” Jayde barked.“Of course I do. If it isn’t a problem, then he should spend the night in my room,” Alpha Laura said, wearing a sly smirk on her face.“Now I’m sure that you’ve totally lost your mind—”“There’s no need for me to stay the night. I’ll just take a look at the compound of the palace before leaving,” I said with a serious look on my face.“No, we insist,” Jayde insisted.“Does that mean you approve—”“No, I do not approve of the both of you sharing one room. There’s enough rooms that could accommodate him. Thanks for your offer,” Jayde said. “After you’re satisfied checking the palace, I’ll show you to your rooms.”I nodded and left the palace. I began to check the compound of the palace. The compound was indeed lacking in width but abundant in length. I had already pictured the palace after I was done improving it.“Already gotten an idea of what you wanna do?” Jayde asked. She startled me when sh
LOGAN’S POVWe returned to the palace as soon as we saw the face of dawn. The fact that I saw Noel still bothered me so I couldn’t keep it to myself.I heard a knock on the door. I had already guessed it was Luke so I had him enter without identifying himself. I had guessed right, it was Luke.“Good day, Master. You summoned me. Is anything the matter?” Luke asked.“He’s back,” I said with a serious look on my face.“Who?” He asked, wearing a riddled look on his face.“Jeremy.”“J-Jeremy?! I must’ve misheard the name you said. Or I must’ve misheard the pronunciation. Would you mind saying it again?” He asked.“Jeremy is back, Luke. He’s now going by the name; Noel,” I responded.He sighed deeply before replying. “Why? What does he want? Where did you encounter him?”“I didn’t find him, it was more like he found me. He invited me to his birthday party,” I said.“And what reply did you give him?” Luke eagerly asked.“I agreed,” I said with a tone of disappointment. Luke must’ve expected
LOGAN’S POVI had woken up late today because I was up all night listening to all of Gertrude’s nonsense. When I woke up I heard a knock on the door. I came to whoever it was for permission. It was a maiden who had just brought my breakfast. After she gently placed them on the table, she ran off. I woke up and headed for the bathroom. I thought about taking a shower before having breakfast but it was Amber’s policy to always have breakfast before you shower. She had always told me that breakfast tastes better that way.Though I had always objected to it, she didn’t care. She’d do it not caring if you find out or not. Amber was the only wolf that did things for me not because she was afraid of me. She did it from her heart. When I recall all those moments we shared and all the goofy things she had said to me, I never failed to smile. I decided to have breakfast before showering and indeed she was right..“The birthday party is to be held at sunset and Noel is expecting my presence so
LOGAN’S POV“There you are, Logan. I’ve been waiting patiently for you. U had honestly thought you won’t show up but here you are now,” Noel said as he sprung out of the palace. “I love how you always stick to your word. That’s another behavior of yours that I really love.I glared daggers at him but all he did was to offer me an awkward smile.“Right this way, Gentlemen,” he showed us the way and we followed him. We arrived at a big ball. Wolf and she-wolf all dancing to a slow jam. Noel left us to go attend to someone else but he made sure to assign a maiden to us.“There are tables there for you and your escorts. There’s a bar there, where you can order whatever wine you desire. Have a seat, Alpha Logan. If you need anything you’re free to call me,” the maiden said as she left.My escorts and I comfortably sat on the chair reserved for us.“I want to go order a montelena. What are you all having?” Killian asked.“Nothing. We are not going to drink anything from that bar,” I replied
NOEL“Have they left?” I asked the bartender.“Yes, Master Noel. I watched all three of them leave through the exit. You needn’t worry,” Sal, an elite soldier of mine answered.“His escorts didn’t have anything, did they?” I asked.“No, Master Noel,” Sal replied.Logan’s still as smart as ever. He still has the idea of how dangerous I can be. But he doesn’t know that I don’t stoop so low as to add poison in water, I thought.“Pour me a glass,” I ordered.“Sure thing,” he said as he began to fix my drink.I reached into my pocket and brought out my pocket watch. Midnight was oniy half an hour away.“Where could they?” I muttered as I angrily tightened my grip around the pocket watch. I snatched my glass off the table and immediately drank it. “Both of them had told me they wouldn't take so long. They even promised to show up at the party. The party ended two hours ago. How come they haven’t arrived—”“Master Noel!” A beta called out to me.“What is it? Can’t you tell I’m busy?”“I apo
LOGAN’S POV“Why did you leave so suddenly, Master?” Naniel asked. “It’s almost midnight and we have no place to sleep. We could’ve spent a night at the all alpha pack.”“That’s the reason why we left in the first place. How am i expected to sleep in a place that I don’t even trust the water they give me?” I said as I continued to walk.My escorts and I were supposed to journey ten hours before arriving at the palace. It’s been two hours since we began journeying, and it seemed like we’d been walking in circles.“Hey, Logan!” Gertrude yelled.“Why are you yelling at a time like this? Don’t you know you’ll attract enemies? I’m too stressed to start fighting. What do you want?” I asked with an expressionless look on my face.He began with a soft tone. “Ok, Logan, I was just wondering…” he then screamed as loud as possible. “Why the hell are we embarking on a ten hours journey in the middle of the night?!”“Quit yelling, you good for nothing piece of human flesh! Why are you being the on
LOGAN’S POVWe returned to the palace as soon as the sun rose. I didn’t get enough sleep in the palace of the howling dawn pack because the crows flying by wouldn’t stop cawing. So I decided to sleep some more in my room.I woke up at noon. Around two o’clock. When I got up from the bed, my body felt heavier than normal. I had thought it was my heavy coat and blazer, so I took them off hoping that this irritating feeling would come to an end but I was wrong. The heaviness in my body wasn’t because of my heavy clothes. It was definitely something else.“What’s wrong?” Gertrude asked. “You just took off your coat and now you’re checking yourself in the mirror. Are you perhaps going on a date?”No“When will you ever quit saying rubbish?” I asked angrily.“Probably, never,” he replied truthfully. “And besides, I’ve never seen you act this way. That’s why I assumed you were going on a date.”“So you mean that there’s no other assumption to what I’m doing than a date?“ I asked.“Exactly!”
