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 POV“Logan!!” Luke screamed.I looked at the sword that was buried in my belly. My blood has started to drip down. This was the first time I was bleeding this bad. I felt really dizzy and my vision, hazy. I held the blade of the sword with my left. I looked at the blade and my unfortunate belly one more time.I sighed heavily as I turned around. Luke was crawling aggressively to me. I turned around to him and offered a faint grin. I knew that it was already the end for me. Gertrude’s sword pierced a vital spot.“Stop, Luke,” I whispered. Blood had started to rush profusely down my mouth.He stopped crawling and sat up. “Logan…”“Luke, I want you to—”“No! I’m not listening to your crap! This isn’t the time for crap. Weren’t you about to entrust your unborn child to me? Weren’t you about to entrust your pack to me? And for what reason? You wanted to give up. Have you suddenly forgotten what Amber said about peace?” Luke asked while panting heavily.Luke’s words had struck me li
LOGAN’S POVI opened my eyes slowly to a bright morning. I looked outside the window and I almost got blinded. The sun today was very bright. I sat up and placed my back on the bedrest of the bed. For some reason I was feeling very sick. I could barely move my body. My body felt like it was being held back by a chain or some sort. I looked around and realized I was in my room. The last thing I could remember was that I passed out at the gate of the palace.“Oh! You finally woke up!” Gertrude exclaimed.I turned to my right and saw the dangling head of my foe.“What do you mean finally woke up? From the looks of it, I woke up pretty early today,” I said as I struggled to get up on my feet. It was futile, I couldn’t move my legs. I tried to stand up again but this time it wasn’t my leg, it was my abdomen. I clenched my teeth in pain.I placed my hand on my hurting stomach and felt blood. My bandaged stomach had started to bleed profusely.“What the hell are you doing?!” Gertrude screame
LOGAN’S POV“I wasn’t talking to you, Amber,” I said with a straight face.The cold breeze of the evening blew out dried up leaves from the contable trees in the compound of the palace. It was quite windy that evening. It looked like it was going to rain.“If you weren’t talking to me, then who were you talking to? Because the last time I recalled…we were the only people here!” She yelled angrily.I’m only letting all this yelling slide just because she’s carrying my son. If it were someone else…I tightened my fist to my thoughts.“What are you thinking about? Aren’t you going to answer my question?” She asked.I pulled Gertrude’s head from behind and placed it next to Amber.“Arghhh!!” She kicked his head away out of fear, but thankfully, the string on my waist that was connected to his head stopped him from getting to the ground.“Why are you so frightened? Weren’t you aware that I bought him to the palace?” I asked.“I was wrong to call her nice. This wolf is scarier than you!” Ge
AMBER’S POVI rose up from my bed and sat on the couch in my room. I grimaced in pain as I gently stroked my aching head. Last night’s feast was the cause of my aching head today. We partied until dawn. I didn’t enjoy much of it because Hannah was there to stop me from having any intoxicating wine.I took some pills before hopping into the bathroom to take my bath. I freshened up and was ready for my day.Hannah came to visit me after I was ready. She came with the grape juice I had ordered.“Did you enjoy yourself at the feast last night?” Hannah asked with a slight grin on her face.“How could you have enjoyed yourself when you were all in my business. You wouldn’t let me dance or drink. No, I didn’t enjoy the feast,” I lamented.“I knew you’d say that. How could I have let you drink? You’re carrying a child in your womb for heaven’s sake,” She said with a sigh.“Is that the only question you came here to ask me?”“No,” Hannha said as she sat beside me on the couch. “You’re unhappy,
LOGAN’S POV“Alpha Logan, I-I think we shouldn’t do it now. Not at a time like this. I mean, the baby is to be born soon. I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for that,” Amber cried out.“What do you mean not prepared for this? If you aren’t then I am. If you’re prepared or not, all I want to make clear to you is that I’m prepared. We shouldn’t fight over this. This is what you need,” I said as I crawled towards her.She shuddered as she crawled backwards. She slammed her back on the bedrest of the best.“Uhm…alpha Logan? This isn’t something I’d say I need. So please, can you stop?” Amber pleaded.I crawled until I got to her legs. I held both her legs tightly and separated them.“I’m sorry, Amber. But there’s no stopping me now. I’ll have to get what I want either willingly or forcefully,” I said.She squinted her eyes. “Please don’t widen my legs like that. It hurts.”“I promise to be more gentle when I start,” I said to calm her down. “Please stop moving, you’re making this hard fo
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
