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
NOEL’S POV“Alpha Logan and his comrades haven’t even batted an eye. Are you sure they’re still alive?” Howard asked.“You worry too much, Howard. Of course they’re still alive. Do you think it’s that easy kill for them? They’re his prestigious men for crying out loud,” I said confidently because I know the type of wolves they are.“Prestigious men? These men that Alpha Logan call his prestigious men-they aren’t ordinary wolves, are they?” He asked, wearing a curious look on his face.“No, they aren’t. Their fighting style and battle experience are more fascinating than any wolf,” I replied.“Does that mean that they’re far more ranked wolves than an elite wolf?” He asked.“Of course. Most of them are even above Alpha levels. They always say that a student will surpass his master as time goes on but this case is different. There’s no way any of them will ever surpass Logan,” I said as I chuckled.“You know, they were ten of them, originally. Most of them died from an ambush or during
Laura's POVI stared at the scroll in my hand and could not help the feeling of uneasy that enveloped me. The scribbled inky words were a stark contrast to Logan's handwriting.Had he written this response or asked someone to because I could swear that this was not his writing? Something seems off, from the writing, to the message it conveyed.“Is everything alright?” Jayde asked, coming to stand beside me.“I don't know, but something seems wrong about this message.” I replied.“Let me see,” Jayde requested, and I handed the scroll into her outstretched hand.“Hmm,” Jayde mumbled thoughtfully. “Of all the times I have read Logan's letters to you, this particular one seems odd. It lacks his tone, handwriting, and even the signature looks wobbly and forged.”“I know, right? But, no one can send this letter if it is not Logan.”“That's right. No one can have access to his Royal scroll and ink except himself.” Jayde.A lengthy silence descended as I contemplated the letter's request.“Wh
NOEL'S POV“They are here, Alpha.” Howard appeared by my side and whispered.“That's good news,” I replied with a smirk. “Let's go,” I added.I rose from the throne chair and let Howard lead me towards the spacious hallway, and we took a turn that led to a room close to the attic. We stopped at a door, and the soldiers, flanked on both sides, instantly bowed their heads in reverence.A smile of satisfaction crossed my mouth. This is precisely how I had envisaged my life to be. Commanding so much respect and influence, but unfortunately, my late father only saw me fit as a good soldier and not worthy to ascend the throne.But all that doesn't matter anymore because look at me, after years of planning, I have finally overthrown his favorite son and usurped the throne.Howard inserted a key into the keyhole and turned the door open. We stepped inside and were ushered into a dark, spacious room. The room had a stale smell and reeked of dust.Howard walked to a corner of the room and pulle
NOEL'S POVI made my way to the room Jayde and Laura were held captive and just like I had envisaged, they were lying on their stomach, writing in pain.Their blouses we're rolled up to the necks to reveal the wounds and welts my men's whipping had engraved on them.My eyes strayed, and they landed on the whips in my men's hands, and the sight of flesh on them got me nodding my head in satisfaction.“Excuse us,” I signalled to my men.They bowed in allegiance and quickly exited the room.“Well, well, we meet again, Jayde and Laura. Did you enjoy the brief session with my men?” I asked, cocking my brows.“What do you want…” Laura asked, her lips trembling as she grunted in pain.“That's the exact question I have been wanting to hear from you, but it took you so long to ask,” I said, a mischievous smile playing on my lips.“Spill it, you bastard!” Jayde groaned, rolling to her side.An amused expression crossed my features as I walked over to her and stepped on her hand. She let out a l
NOEL'S POVAs I walked towards the dungeon, I did my best to keep my emotions in check, but it was a failed battle because my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.Despite having defeated Logan and his men, I was still wary of him and what he was capable of. I was almost at the door when I halted and beckoned a soldier nearby.He hurried to me and bowed in reverence. I leaned in closer to him and whispered a few words. He nodded and hurried away.While waiting for the soldier to deliver my message, my mind inadvertently trailed to Logan.How can one man possess such strength? I knew he was going to wake up soon, but not anytime soon because he had inhaled a reasonable quantity of the gas. My thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of Howard beside me, bearing a vial that contained a green mixture.I looked at the vial, and somewhat got the courage to pull at the dungeon's door and let us in.Howard and I were ushered into a spacious room whose only ventilation was a high, small wind
NOEL'S POVWith a swift motion, I plunged the scalpel into Logan's thighs, drawing a scream from the bound Alpha. The scalpel was not an ordinary one, it was laced with wolf's bane, a deadly poison that weakens and inflicts pains on wolves. As a matter of fact, all the torture tools were laced with one deadly poison or the other.I ignored the sound, my focus solely on inflicting as much pain as possible on Logan.As the torture continued, I could feel Gertrude's eyes on me as he watched the sadistic side of me come to the forefront. I bet he couldn't believe what he was seeing, but he knew better than to intervene. He was just a head after all.“Just watch what I will do to you when it gets to your turn, stupid head.” I snarled at him.I was in a rage, and nothing would stop me until I had satisfied my need for vengeance.Logan's helpless screams of anguish rented the dungeon's room, reverberating through the walls and sending shivers to whomever that heard them.Gertrude, on the oth
