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
LOGAN’S POV“Luke! Luke!” I called out.Luke hastily rushed inside the room on hearing his name.“You called me, Master,” he said and fixed a bowing gesture.I buried my right hand inside my coat. I pulled out another one of my golden lockets. “Luke, were you able to acquire more intel about this Ally organization?”“My apologies, Master, I wasn’t able to acquire any intel because the place was completely deserted when we got there. No chair, no table. Just a building,” Luke replied.“You mean to say that the building was totally empty?”“Yes, Master. I’m very sure that they knew we would trail them so they chose to evacuate the building with all the items of the building,” Luke said.I gazed at the shiny locket. I lifted it up, above my head. With my left eye, I gazed at the golden locket, it had never glittered this way before. I opened the locket and angrily shut it.“I managed to get information about the Ally organization.”“Please do share, master,” Luke requested. “Who was it f
LOGAN’S POVI dressed formally for the occasion, but this time, I added something to my uniform that I don’t normally add. A sword. I figured that I won’t be attacked by several men but hundreds of men because of the bounty on my head.Luke took a pair of his dagger and was also ready. We left the palace and began our journey. It was just the two of us. It was night so the streets were lonely.“Master, when we get there, do we attack first?” Luke asked.“No. We’ll pretend like we’re part of the meeting, then when we see an opening, we’ll strike. You just need to wait on my signal,” I said.While walking to the venue, we passed a few rogue wolves that stared at us in a suspicious manner. I noticed that they had started to follow us from behind.I didn’t communicating to Luke because I could see the look on his face that he has also noticed.Luke and I stop walking so we could put an end to this. As soon as we stop walking, the wolves following us also stopped.“I’ve heard a lot about y
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
