LOGAN’S POVI came back down from the roof and went into the room. Scott and the rest of his pack had fled the palace. I met about a hundred of my men alive.“Ghen. Where are the rest of your comrades? I asked.“We’ve got bad news, master,” Ghen said with a sad look on his face.“Tell me.”“We lost Larry, Alan and Bane,” Ghen said.I sighed heavily. “Where is Luke?”“I actually don’t know, Master,” Ghen replied.“Ok then. I need you and the rest of your comrades to take the soldiers home for treatment. I’ll find Luke and be with you all shortly. Go now!” I ordered.I entered a room through a hole in the wall. I saw one of Scott’s prestigious men lying dead on the floor. I opened his eyes and confirmed that he was dead. I made sure of my confirmation by checking his pulse.“Hmm. This was one of the three men Luke was fighting,” I muttered under my breath.I looked round the room and saw large holes on the wall, leading a room further than the one I was in.I quickly ran through those h
SCOTT’S POV“Argh!“ I cried in pain as i held my bleeding stomach. “If I hadn’t vanished on time, Logan would have surely ended my life.”I sat on the corner of my room while trying to bear the pain. “I’m just here winching in pain but Logan, my opponent, was able to break free from my sword with ease and try another attack. He could be right after all. I’m not his equal.”“The air seemed to be quiet. I think they’ve gone,” I sighed in relief and came out from where I had been hiding. I walked to the living room of the palace and saw that it wasn't in any shape.Men, women and even children had been brutally murdered due to the attack from the Red fanged pack. The palace is in wrecks. The living room of the palace had taken more hits than anyone in this battle. Alpha Logan has done something he shouldn’t have. I witnessed the death of more than half of my comrades. If I hadn’t ordered the rest to flee to safety, he would have killed us all and claimed our palace. Seeing families of m
AMBER’S POVThe rays of sun had pierced through the windows of my room. The rainbow was out due to the rain that fell last night. Though the sun was out , the windy and cold temperature of the atmosphere hadn’t changed since last night. It was almost noon and I was just waking up from last night’s slumber. I gazed outside my window and saw the guards training in the field. I struggled but I managed to get up from my bed. I went to my bathroom and washed my sleepy face.While heading back to my room, I stopped at my bathroom’s mirror and decided to take a look at myself. I glanced at myself and thought of how much I have changed over the months. I recalled how I had suffered throughout my childhood, being maltreated and verbally abused by my so-called step father. I felt my face and touched my cheeks. I had really added weight. It must’ve been because I was pregnant but I know it wasn’t. I had been properly taken care of. I looked at my big belly. I rubbed it to calm the kicking child.
The sun had risen above the mountains and it was time for people to go on about their daily business. Several people had woken up earlier than the sun but I was still in bed. And from the looks of it, the moon would rise before me.I opened and stared at Hannah with blurry vision. I sat up and stretched my tired arm.“I was afraid you were going to sleep the whole day through,” Hannah said with a smile on her face.I turned to my side and looked out the window. It was quite sunny today, not quite, it was really sunny today. Today’s temperature was heated like the palace was set on fire. What do I expect from a Wednesday afternoon?“Are you alright?” Hannah quizzed as she place her hand on my forehead, trying to check my temperature.“You’re simply wasting your time. My forehead is warm, so is yours. It’s a sunny day,” I said as I gently rose up from the bed.“I wasn’t checking for a fever or anything. I was checking if you were alright or not. I mean, who sleeps till noon?”“Me,” I re
AMBER’S POV“It happened eighteen years ago. Naive Hannah had just been betrothed to the cruel alpha, Logan’s father. As a newly wedded Luna, the king and I were meant to mate and it was the mating ceremony that day. The king had forced me into mating with him even when I cried and begged..”I patted Hannah on her shoulder to show that I’m there for her and that gave her confidence.“While we were mating, the first Luna, Logan’s mother, came into the room. Due to her lack of self esteem and her non confidential state, she decided to turn around and leave but the king got angry. The king was the type to beat up the queen on various occasions for no good reason and that was why he was a feared man. The queen apologized and started to leave but the king got angry. The king mercilessly beat up the queen until she died. After he had killed her, he then came back to his senses. I was so traumatized that I couldn’t move. I only clinged onto the bed sheets and watched. Annoyed little Loganwa
LOGAN’S POV“What do I want?” Amber asked with a puzzled look on her face.“Yes. You heard me well. Would you prefer a foot massage or a head massage?” I asked with a motionless look on my face.“Do I want a foot massage or a head massage? Where is all this coming from? Is this a trap?” She asked.I turned around and glared at her.“Don’t glare at me like that. I’m just surprised by your question. Not surprised, I mean shocked, because you’ve never shown concern for me, then why now?” She asked angrily.“Please do not have the misconception that I’m doing this for you or that I care for you because I don’t. I’m only doing this for my son. Now, which do you prefer?” I asked.“If I say I prefer both at the same time, does that seem like an answer?” She asked.“No it won’t,” I grinned. “Come in here!”Hannah and Kate came into the room all dressed in their uniforms. They each came with a bag. Probably where they kept their tools for massaging.“Hannah?” Amber muttered under her breath.“
AMBER’S POV“Relax properly on the bed while we begin,” Kate said.Hannah and Kate wore their gloves for work before starting. Kate took care of my feet while Hannah took care of my head.“Hannah?” I muttered under my breath while watching her smile.Hannah placed two pillows under my head to raise it up. And on top of those pillows, she placed plastic wrappers to avoid stains.Hannah’s blessed fingers ran gently through my aching head and I immediately felt better. Hannah massaged my head and hair softly. At that moment, I was stress free.“Amber?” Hannah called. “How are you enjoying the head massage?”“I’m enjoying it really well. Can I ask you something?”“Sure, you can,” Hannah replied.“Why is he doing all of this?” I asked, fixing a bitter scowl on my face. “Is he doing this to apologize for last night?”“You should know that alpha Logan isn’t in the slightest remorseful for what he said last night. When he summoned Kate and I, he didn’t mention anything about apology. He just
LOGAN’S POV“Can you see now reason from my perspective?” I asked.“Well…you may be right and you may as well be in the wrong but, to each, his own ideas and views,” Amber said before sighing.“Quit talking. We have to start training immediately!” I echoed.“Training, why?”“…Because we’re in the gym. What are we supposed to do other than train?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face.“Train? No, I can't train. Why should we train?” Amber asked with disgust laced round her face.“We have to train…I mean, you have to train in order to keep the baby in shape. Not only the baby needs to be in shape. He’s mother also needs to be in shape.”Amber turned to me with rage in her eyes.“In shape?” She whispered evilly.Her red, blood thirsty eyes had started to make me feel very uncomfortable. I had started to sweat and take back my words.“Don’t start yet. Uhm…excuse me,” I excused myself and left the room to go meet Luke who was outside.I came out and found an ingenuous Luke who was examin
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
