LUKE‘S POV“Who the hell do you think you are, Luke?” Rye asked furiously. “He thinks so highly of himself, just like a God. Talking about handling us. I’ll make sure I pay you back by taking both your arms.”I took up my hat and stared at it for some time while wearing a slight grin on my face. I wore my hat and held out my right fist, my usual pose.“Oooh!” Ryu sarcastically exclaimed. “I’ve heard of this pose before. Rumor has it that he only possesses like this when he's serious.“Don’t let his pose fool you, Ryu. It may look basic but it’s dangerous. Do not let your guard down. Rumor has it that he’s one of the fastest wolves alive.,” Ross said as he stared at me.“I can’t take it anymore, Brother! What’s with you and praising this guy?! I don’t see what’s so special about him!” Ryu barked.“He was able to take your right arm on your encounter with him and yet you talk like you’re blind,” Ross said.“He might have taken my arm but I’m yet to know why you and everyone else is afra
AMBER’S POVI opened my eyes only to see a bright light. I quickly shut them back because of the brightness of the light. I slowly opened my eyes this time, adapting to the brightness.I looked to my left and then to my right and figured out that I was in my room, laying on the bed. The only thing I could remember was that Hannah and I were having chocolate and then suddenly I fainted. I looked around the room but I couldn’t find a trace of chocolate. Not just a trace, I couldn’t even perceive that sweet smell.It all seemed like a dream but I still felt that it wasn't. As I struggled to sit up right, I felt a big bang in my head. This was more than a headache. It felt as if I was being hammered but from within. I managed to bear the threatening headache as I sat up.I sighed heavily as I placed my hand on my belly, slowly caressing it.“This is all temporary, my son. The day you’ll be born is the day I’ll part from you. The wish of every pregnant woman is for their child to be born s
LUKE’S POV“I’m the one that’s going to fight Luke because I’ve fought him before and I know quite how powerful he is. All you need to do is back me up,” Ross said while glaring daggers at me.“Back up?!” Ryu cried angrily. “To hell with that rubbish! There’s no way the mighty Ryu would back up anyone. I finish off this squirt alone. Just sit back and relax—”Ross grabbed Ryu on his collar and pulled him. “Are you out of your mind?! At this rate, you’ll be killed before you swing two punches. Are you even listening to me?!”“Unhand me!” Ryu pushed Ross away.I took off my coat and held a dagger in my left hand. I then held out my right fist at the two brothers, ready for battle.“I alone took down Lance, Sarl and Ken single-handedly but that doesn’t mean I disrespect you or your brother. This also doesn’t call for underestimation. Let’s battle like respectable men because this battle is one that I’ve been longing for, for a really long time. Isn’t that right, Ross?” I asked with a sli
LUKE’S POVThis can’t be true. How can such a spell not come with weaknesses or risk? Do they think I’m dumb or something? It was labeled a forbidden spell for a reason and I won’t rest till I find out about that reason, I thought.“What’s wrong, Legendary Luke? Aren’t you a Legend? Why does the expression on your face say you’re scared, huh? I bet you’re questioning yourself right now. Asking how and why our spell doesn’t come with risks but I have no explanation for you. That’s just how the spell is. I would—”“Every spell has its risks and its consequences. There’s not way you can convince me about this,” I said.“Well then, we’ll just show you how,” Ross said with a wide grin on his face.“Argh!” They both screamed as they powered up. They returned to their former scarier self. They looked like hungry beasts.Ross appeared before me and buried his fist into my stomach. He caught me midair and hurled me to Ryu. Ryu tried his left fist at me but I blocked it by crossing both my fore
LUKE’S POV“Ryu!” Ross rushed as he helped his brother up on his feet.I had started to laugh like a man that has achieved everything he longed. Ignoring the fact that they’re one punch away from killing me.“Why the hell are you-are you laughing?” Ryu asked as he spat out more blood.“You need to stop speaking now, Ryu. You’re only going to cause yourself more pain,” Ross said.Ryu broke free from Ross’s grasp. He fell on his knees as he coughed up blood. “I want to know why you’re laugh, Luke!!”“You’re dying slowly and yet you throw such hard orders to me. I told you before, Ryu. Every spell has a risk and from the looks of it, I was right!” I continued to laugh uncontrollably.“Shut up, you dimwit!” Ryu yelled at me. “Brother, tell him that he’s wrong. Not just him, tell me. Tell me you’re right when you said that this forbidden spell had no risk.”“It seems your brother has been lying to you all this time, Ryu. I think he—”“Shut up, Luke! I’ll take care of you later! There’s not
LOGAN’S POVFor a group of slackers, the were really good. I had managed to kill one hundred and fourth eight of them.I withdrew and stood before Luke. I panted continuously.“Already exhausted?” Luke asked.“They might be weak in strength, but not in numbers. They’re considerably good at teamwork as well,” I said as I panted heavily.“Shouldn’t you rest a bit?” Luke asked as he tried to get up.He screamed in pain as he tried to get up on his feet. His legs were hurting very badly. He hadn’t sprained his ankle or anything. His legs were just in pain.“Finishing off your opponent with a toothpick. Wasn’t expecting that,” I grinned.“Just like you, I never expected that. I only acted due to the teachings and experience,” Luke said as he groped around his pocket for a toothpick.“Anything can be a weapon. I remember saying that,” I said as I wore a straight face and began to breathe lightly.Luke brought out a toothpick from his pocket and inserted it into his mouth. I sighed one more
LOGAN’S POV“Immortal Gertrude?” I asked as my eyes went bright. “You’re…you’re Immortal Gertrude.”“You’re right and I was wrong. I never knew that you’d recognize me so fast, which means I doubted you,” he said with a slight grin on his face.Luke had run till he caught up with us.“Mas-Master he…he…” he tapped his chest to calm down.“Is this what you’ve been trying to tell me, Luke?” I asked with a serious look on my face.“Yes-Yes Master,” Luke replied. He had started to calm down. “Ross and Ryu told me a while ago before we fought that Gertrude was on his way here.”“It seems like I’m still quite popular in this part of town,” Gertrude said.“I used to adore you when I was little,” I said while slowly removing my black coat. “I used to look up to you so much that I often fought like you. You were like a mentor to me. You were like a goal to me. A goal I would one day beat and surpass,” I dropped my heavy coat and started to slowly roll up my sleeves. “You were like a dream to me
LOGAN’S POV“I must say, alpha Logan, you’re not all talk after all. The rumors I heard about you weren’t all totally wrong,” Gertrude said while taking off his armor.“What do you mean we weren't all totally wrong?” I asked with a riddled look on my face.He grinned at me as he dropped the last steel. “There’s some false rumors that are being spread about you.”I stared at Gertrude with a stern look on my face.“What’s that look for? If you want to know then I’m free to tell you. People were foolish enough to compare you to me. Don’t you think it’s absurd?” He asked with a big smile on his face.I grinned as well. “I also think that that rumor is false.”“Oh my! So there’s something we could both agree on? That was shocking,” he said as he picked up his sword.He’s done taking off his armor. He’s about to become serious. I also have to become serious. I should show him that I also mean business. He won’t hold back anymore. I need to be alert. I may end up losing my leg or arm, but I
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
