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 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 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
Amber's POVA story about a she-wolf who would stop at nothing to get what she desired, an alpha who would love her and her imperfections, one that would want no one but her. Very cheesy, I thought to myself. The stories always seemed to start and end the same.I closed the book I was reading and dropped it on my bed. It bounced and fell off the side but I didn't care enough to even try to pick it up. I stared at the book for a while before sighing and placing my head on my pillow. I really need to try out new genres, I thought to myself.Maybe it's because I read too many books with the same themes or maybe it's because I've always wished to be the character in the book, but somehow, someway, the more I read the book, the sadder I feel.I sighed for the umpteenth time as I turned to my side. It was already some minutes past ten and I knew for sure that Rose would be walking into my room very soon to tell me to come down for breakfast."Good morning, Amber," I heard the familiar voice
Amber's POVMy sore feet got scraped on the stone wall as I was pulled down the staircase. I had not been screaming for too long but my voice had already been cracked, my mouth dry and my lips parched.My leg hit a nail, its tail sticking out of the handrail and all I let out was a loud scream as it tore my flesh. I knew for sure that my wound would still heal and so did the guards. Still, its healing didn't mean I was immune to the pain it carried."Ungh," I groaned in pain as I bit down on my lower lip, an act that I did whenever I tried suppressing pain. "Let me fucking go.""Save your strength for when you meet with your mate, Amber," Vermont said without giving me a glance. "You will need that voice for other screams."I struggled and squirmed as I tried my very best to release myself from the strong grips of the guards dragging me out of their small castle but it only caused me more pain and hurt. Their claws dug into my flesh the more I tried to squeeze out of their grasp and a
Amber's POV"I'm here to see Alpha Logan," Vermont said as he approached the guards standing by the side of the gate of what seemed to be my new home. "Tell him, it's Vermont.""Alpha Logan never mentioned to us anybody of the name Vermont," one of the guards who held what seemed to be a mixture of an axe and a spear said. "Please turn back to wherever you are coming from.""Your alpha might not have mentioned my name to you guys but I am sure if you tell him my name and my reason for coming, he will let me in," Vermont insisted. He shifted his weight from his left leg to his right as he gave a small grunt. "It is very, very important.""Oh, really?" the other guard said as he unsheathed his two swords and held them by his side. He raised one to his shoulder and gave a small grin before asking, "And what should I tell him is your reason for coming?""I have..." Vermont turned and looked at me, who was now fully awake and had my eyes on the monster of a step-father, "... a very good me
Amber's POVThat... that can't be him, I thought to myself. There was no way in hell that… that thing was going to be my mate. The deep red eyes that seemed to have been submerged in the blood of the dismayed, those long sharp claws that could tear the strongest warrior wolf in half with one swing, his long fangs that he brandished from time to time as he licked it with his forked tongue, and the hair. It was so red that it reflected the sun's rays and shone like it had been sprayed with blood.I shuddered in the cage as I felt a cold shiver run down her spine. The guards too, I should have seen it earlier. They possessed the same traits as their alpha, long teeth and forked tongue, they were the same except that the alpha looked like he could do ten times more damage than the two guards combined."Oh, fuck no," I mumbled to myself as I scooted away to the end of the cage. I looked down at my hands and grunted as my skin sizzled after coming in contact with the silver bits.I have to
AMBER’S POV “You are so evil! I hate you old—” “Hey!” Vermont yelled as he drew closer to the silver bars. He whispered. “This is the end of the road for you, little one. Your days of yelling at me, frustrating and provoking me are all over. I urge you from this day on, accept your fate because there’s nothing you can do about it. You’ve been sold off and there’s nothing you can do about it. You better have one thing in mind. This alpha is a dangerous one. He wants you to bear a child for him. Not just any child, he specifically wants a male child. You should begin praying to the moon goddess to grant you a male child, or else, you will be beheaded and your new mate won’t think twice before drinking your goddamn blood.” Vermont fixed a wide smirk as he ordered the guards to take me in. What Vermont said had made me feeble in all parts of my body. I knelt down and faced the floor of the moving cart as tears rolled down my cheeks and dropped to the ground. I guess Vermont is right,
