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!”
LOGAN’S POV“The letter was sent to the Red fanged pack yesterday. They will be expecting my visit this morning. But you both will come along with me even if it wasn’t written in the letter. And you’ll both be introduced to Alpha Logan. Understood?“ I asked.“You’re always so bossy when it comes to perfecting your plan, Noel. At least treat us with a little more respect,” Howard giggled.“I just want to know if they both understood the plan. Do you both understand?!“ I barked.More respect, my foot! You want to be treated like partners when the fact is that you’re under me. You’re both just working for my goal, I thought.“Of course we do. There’s no need to get violent, Noel. So when are we departing?” Howard asked.“We are to depart this morning. Make sure to pack enough clothes for a few days, because I’ll try to convince Logan so he could let us stay for a few days. It’s going to be difficult but not impossible.“I forgot about the part where you say we should pack enough clothes.
LOGAN‘S POV“Don’t this seem like a trap to you?“ Gertrude asked.The meeting had just concluded and I was heading to my room. I had asked Ghen to show them to the visitors chamber where they will be statin the night.“I agree with Gertrude. It seems rather odd,” Luke seconded.“It also seems odd to me but what could I have done? After having breakfast with them tomorrow, I’ll kindly send her off because I also don’t believe her story,” i said.Luke headed to his room as I went into mine.“You shouldn’t have granted Noel’s wish. I don’t trust his ways one bit,” Gertrude said.“It’s great that you’re finally looking at hun the way I do,” I said as I grabbed the whiskey off my desk and left.I sat on the highest rock in the backyard and immediately brought out the bottle of whiskey. I emptied the half empty bottle of whiskey into two glasses. I took mine and gave the other to Gertrude.“When he said you were once the little brother that used to look up to him, what did he mean?” Gertrud
LUKE’S POV“Very well, Master. Have your rest and I will take care of it,” I replied to Alpha Logan and left his room.I knew that our elite war soldiers wouldn’t be anywhere but guarding the dungeon, so I headed to the dungeon. I picked the ten soldiers I needed and assigned to them various positions around the visitors chambers. I wasn’t satisfied so I assigned three more soldiers and placed each at the door of our guests.Even though Alpha Logan had ordered me to assign only ten guards, I disobeyed and assigned thirteen just in case. But why? Why don’t I feel satisfied after assigning that many soldiers just to three wolves? Why do I still feel restless? I feel like I’m missing something. Not only that. Today was way off. It’s been raining for more than twenty hours. I’ve never experienced such before in my life. not my that, I feel very heavy. It’s hit because of my heavy coat or the daggers I carry around. I just feel very heavy. Walking like this feels very painful. Using my han
LOGAN’S POVI rose up from my bed and headed to the restroom. After using the restroom, I retired to my bed. I looked out the window and the gravy rain had completely stopped which was quite unusual. Before I went to sleep I heard a loud thud. It was as if the palace was being raided. I decided to check what was going on in the west. Before I opened my door, my room was being filled with gas. A greenish colored gas.I began to cough and jerk back away from the door. The door immediately flung open and two figures entered my room. I couldn’t see them because of the hazardous gas. After the gas had left through the window, I was now able to see properly. It was Noel and Howard.I rose up on my feet to charge at them but then I fell back down. I heard a very loud whistle. I’ve never heard anything as loud as it. Neither Noel nor Howard reacted to the noise. It was as if I was the only one hearing this insane noise. I held my ears as I screamed in pain. I then glanced at my bloody hands.
NOEL’S POVI rose up and threw my back to a wall behind me while holding my aching head. My head hurt really badly. I touched my forehead and felt a bland liquid. I brought my finger before me and realized that I was bleeding. I turned around, searching for Logan.Perhaps, he ran away, I thought.“I should probably—”I glanced at the body lying before me. It was Alpha Logan. I turned him around to see his face just to be sure and I was right, it was him. I looked outside the room and saw Howard gagging heavily. His eyes and face were all red.I never expected what I planned to turn out like this. I completely underestimated Alpha Logan. I never acknowledged the rumors about him. I always claimed that they were fake and that wasn’t how he was in real life. But how can I boldly say that the rumors about him are all fake.He isn’t just a regular wolf. He’s far worse than anyone I’ve ever fought. We had to use extra gas to make him lose his sense of hearing and make him wobbly and still I
