AMBER’S POV“Walk?” I asked with a weak voice.“It seems that you didn’t quite hear so I’ll have to repeat myself. Would you walk with me?” Alpha Logan asked again.“Uhm—”Hannah interrupted me by bumping her shoulder into mine. I turned to her and she gestured that I agree.“Yes, alpha Logan, I’ll walk with you,” I replied.“Quickly get dressed, I’ll wait for you at the palace gate,” Alpha Logan said as he turned around and left.The grumpy alpha had left but the room was still filled with this aura of uneasiness.“What’s this all about, Amber? Why do you think the alpha wants to take a walk with you? What does he want to discuss?” Hannha asked, wearing a sly smirk on her face.“It’s nothing of the sort, Hannah. He probably wants me to come out to fresh air, especially after working out,” I replied.My words seemed to be entering one ear and escaping through another. I reckoned she didn’t believe me because her face looked unconvinced.“Well, I’ll go with that for now,” Hannah looked
AMBER’S POV“Hmm,” I scoffed in disbelief. “Who knew a man like you could seek peace?”“Who in the world isn’t searching for a place to dwell in peace?” Alpha Logan said as he stretched his arms.“I guess you’re right. Everyone is in need of peace and where to find peace. But one should accept that peace is of the heart, either in your heart or the heart of someone else,” I concluded as I sat beside him.The wind of the cold evening blew the trees on the garden, thereby forcing dried up leaves to fall to the ground.“You may also be right as well, Amber. But that isn’t my own ideology. To you, peace is in the heart, but I don’t feel the same,” Logan disagreed.“You also sought for peace, which means that you find peace in a way that differs mine. Do tell me what peace means to you.”“To me, peace is not a material or an ornament that could be obtained. Peace is an everlasting feeling that is gotten by the sacrifice of life,” he said.“Elaborate…” I replied with a puzzled look on my fa
AMBER’S POV“I guess you may be right after all, Amber. Maybe the essence of finding peace through war was wrong. What is the essence of gaining peace after losing the ones we cherish more than life itself? I now understand your perspective. One can’t find peace through a war where he lost his loved ones. One can only find peace in a war where he didn’t lose those he cherished. This means that finding peace had already been established through love even without me knowing. Truly, peace is love,” Logan looked into my eyes and smiled, revealing his long blood stained fangs.My eyes went bright because of the surprise.Is he smiling at me? Alpha Logan is smiling! Alpha Logan is smiling!! Who could’ve known that the argument that was rapidly escalating would be the one to help me with my promise. I promised that I’d make you smile today and I fulfilled it before midnight, I thought.“I love your smile, alpha Logan,” I complimented.“Which smile?” He asked as he quickly wore his motionless
LOGAN’S POV“Arghhh,” I held the back of my head in pain. I felt a slight headache as soon as I woke up.I had returned from Amber’s room last night so I could rest in mine.I rose up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. I quickly took my bath and freshened up.I immediately put on my heavy black coat and left the room. Luke was standby outside my room so he walked with me.“Good morning, master,” Luke greeted.“Good morning, Luke,” I replied.“You returned quite late last night, master. I guess you had a splendid night,” Luke said, wearing a slight grin on his face.I turned and looked at him with a straight face.“I guess not.”“I took her to the garden last night,” I said.“That garden?” Luke asked.“Yes.”“I see…so what did the both of you talk about or do?” Luke asked.“Hmm,” I scoffed.Luke adjusted his toothpick from one corner of his mouth to another. “You’re wearing a bright look today. I guess you both talked about some important stuff that changed your state of reasonin
LOGAN’S POV“Or else what?” Luke snapped angrily.Lord Havellry slightly grinned to respond to Luke's query.“Such big talks for a man so small,” I said as I rose up from my throne and slowly approached Havellry.“Do not underestimate me, Logan,” Havellry said as he leaned back in fear.I stood before the scared man with my intimidating height and body.“C’mon now Havellry, you know me very well. You know that I don’t underestimate anyone,” I grinned widely, exposing my sharp and bloody fangs.“You haven’t answered my question yet, goddammit!” Luke roared.I retreated back and sat on my throne.Havellry regained his confidence. “Why are you so hasty, Luke? Still wearing that stupid hat and covering your stupid look?”Luke didn’t reply to him.“Look at you Luke. You wear a hat and a toothpick like a cowboy, yet you’re against humans. Let me tell you something…only humans dress like that!” Havellry said with a hard scowl.“Quit your constant babbling and answer my question!” Luke ordere
LOGAN’S POVLuke and I walked through the hallway that connected my room and Amber’s room.“So, Master, what was that about peace?” Luke asked.“Peace?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face.“Yes…peace. I really want to hear your definition of peace, Master.”I glanced suspiciously at Luke.“Why would you want to hear my definition of peace now? What’ll you do with such information?” I asked.“No reason…I just want to hear,” Luke said with a mischievous twinkle on his eyebrows.“I have no interest in repeating myself. I’m quite sure you heard me the first time,” I said with a straight face.Luke scoffed as he adjusted his toothpick from one corner of his mouth to another. “Are you that shy that you can’t repeat Amber’s definition?”“Shy? I’ve never felt such a feeling in my life! And who said that it was Amber’s definition?!” My bass voice echoed through the walls of the palace.“You said with your own mouth, Master. You told me that you’ve changed your perspective —Anyways, forget
LOGAN’S POV“Why are you chuckling so heartily? Isn’t the situation bothering you at all?” Amber asked.“Bothering me? Why should a thing like that bother me?” I asked, looking puzzled.It had started to get late and the night had started to become more calm than before. The birds that fly in the sky had all retired to their homes.“I mean, those alpha’s are inviting you just to slaughter and sell your parts. This means that you should be very cautious from now on because anything could happen,” Amber said with a weak voice.“I should be bothered because I got invited. I probably haven’t told you that I’m going to the meeting that’s being held tomorrow night,” I said with a slight scoff.“They invited you and you decided to go?! How careless!” She yelled.I withdrew my vision from the sky and glanced at her.“Why are you asking me so many questions?”“Well, these questions are from your child because when you go to that meeting and die, he’ll be asking me all these questions, so I dec
AMBER’S POV“Uhm…can you repeat yourself? I wasn’t able to hear what your said because of the rustling of trees,” I pretended.“I know you heard me quite well,” Logan said.“Of course not!” I yelled.“A million soldiers won’t be able to force those words out my mouth so just be satisfied with what you heard,” Logan said.I heard you the first time, Logan. I just wanted you to repeat those words. You don’t know what those words meant to me. This proves that you really love me the way I do but you don’t want to admit it because of your ego, I thought.I stared at alpha Logan while wearing a wide grin on my face.He turned at me and caught me staring. “Why are you staring at me with such a wide grin on your face?”“Uhm-no, I was…” my cheeks had turned red and I had started to stutter.“You’re really weird,” he said as he got up and left.“Was I doing too much?” I asked myself.“Stupid Amber!” I angrily banged my fist on my forehead.After several moments of lamenting, I went into the pal
