AMBER’S POVI went back to my room to cry and curse myself for what I’m about to do. I cried bitterly at the thought of abandoning the ones I love and taking along with me their happiness. If my child would make everyone happy, why don’t we love together to have each share of happiness? I thought of that but that idea had no hope of reaching light. I had to pursue this selfish act for my own happiness.It was nighttime and time for me to go into labor. The baby could decide to come out anytime from now so I have to tread carefully.‘Ding dong,’ the doorbell rang.“Who could that be, so late in the night?” I muttered under my breath. “Come in.”Hannah came into the room with a cup of coffee in her hand.“Hannah, it’s you. What are you doing here so late?” I asked with a curious look on my face.“Isn’t it obvious? I’m here for you. You’ll be going into labor anytime from now, so I came here to help you deliver. And look,” she pointed at the small glass of coffee. “I brought coffee so I
AMBER’S POV“Where did that voice come from?” I muttered under my breath while I constantly grunted loudly to scare my enemy.The shadow ran past me again.“Why are you getting serious, beautiful? I won’t hurt you. You just need to calm down. After you’re calm, we could reach an agreement,” the voice echoed again.“Who are you? And what agreement are you talking about?” I grunted loudly.“Wonderful! It seems to be like you’re calming down. There’s no need for violence…especially when you’re pregnant,” the voice became deeper.“I said who are you?!” I yelled angrily. “And why are you troubling me? Don’t you know who I am?!”“Oh my! I’m so scared. Just who the hell are you?!” The voice was as loud as those of the devil.The depths of his voice made me shudder. After hearing that voice, I knew he was bad news. I began to run away. I ran until I was sure to have covered a safe distance. I offered a sigh of relief because I was sure to have lost him. I began to journey slowly because I exh
LOGAN’S POV“I need to use the bathroom,” I said as I got up from my bed and headed for the bathroom. “After easing myself, I returned to my bed to rest some more.“Tonight’s the night that my child will be born. I ought to be hearing either Amber’s screams or the crying of the child. Could it be that she’s already given birth?” My eyes went bright when I realized what I said.I immediately wore my shirt as I ran off to Amber’s room to go see my child.When I got to the door of her room, I gently knocked, not to disturb Amber or my son. I was so excited that I couldn’t take it anymore. I flung the door wide open, and to my surprise, Amber wasn’t in the room. I checked in the bathroom and she wasn’t there as well. I only found Hannah sleeping without a care in the world.Could it be that she has..? I wondered.“Where the hell is Amber!” I screamed at Hannah and she sprang up on her feet and then fell to the floor.“Weren’t you in charge of her?!” I yelled angrily. “Where the hell is sh
SCOTT’S POV“Do you think we should move forward, Alpha Scott?” Seth asked, while dodging behind a rock.“No, Seth. Have you already forgotten about alpha Logan’s god-like abilities? He can hear movements from miles away. So I urge that we all be careful. When attacking, do not—”“Alpha Scott!” Jace, one of my prestigious men called out to me. “I can see a human-like figure approaching us. Should we put it down?!”“A human-like figure, you say,” I muttered to myself. I squinted my eyes in order to get a better view of the figure.Jace was right, it had a human figure. But who could that be? Could it be the enemy? Has alpha Logan figured out that we were here? I thought.“Alpha Scott!” Jace called out from a distance. “The approaching figure is running at full speed. I think it’s time to start launching attacks!”“Doesn’t that look like a woman to you, Seth?” I asked, with an unsure feeling.Seth looked closely at the incoming figure and understood. “Now that you mention it, that runni
LOGAN’S POVI’ve asked Luke to go check out what I heard but he hasn’t returned.I let go of Grace and she sank to the floor, gagging and choking. She was the least of my worries now because other than footsteps, I could now hear weapons clashing. I also heard a voice I’m familiar with. No doubt about it, it was Scott’s voice.I ran out of the room to where I heard the voice but my way got blocked by two of the rival soldiers. Judging from their appearance, they weren’t ordinary wolves. From why I’m hearing now, it seems like Luke is taking care of Scott, which has lessened my worries. There was no doubt about it, they came back for revenge but I’ll make sure to turn the tables on them.“We won’t let you pass, Alpha Logan,” one of them said.“You both are the least of my worries. My two seconds are precious to me, so I suggest that you move out of my way or I’ll make it ten milliseconds. An attack you won’t see coming,” I said.“Really? In that pajamas of yours?” He mocked.“Don’t thi
LOGAN’S POV“What the hell was that, Gertrude? You never mentioned that the Kaisen came with a force field. And what the hell was that switch from the left to the right in milliseconds? I didn’t feel the vibration of Jace’s sword. How the hell did he do that?” I asked while panting heavily.“Well, I myself never expected them to get to this level. But it seems like they’ve mastered their sword. The ability of the Kaisen is to only cut through air and what does that mean? It means that it repels air. What Seth simply did was that he found a tight spot of air and got severed it. That’s why it felt like a force field. And about the Herlin, I said that it’s ability is to manipulate its own weight; which means that, the lighter it gets…”“…the faster it moves and avoids gravitational pull. Got it. I’ll stop slacking and end this quickly,” I said as I moved Gertrude’s head in front of me and got up.“You’re becoming too slowly alpha,” Jace mocked as he charged towards me.I just stood still
AMBER’S POV“Argh!” I cried as I tried to bear the pain. The pain had become unbearable for me. I cried on the way to the Rage beast pack.“You’ll be alright, madam,” a soldier said.“Thank you. Is the palace still farther away?” I asked impatiently.“Yes, a little bit farther. Why don’t we kill time? You could tell us about where you’re from. I’m sure you don’t mind, right?” He asked.“No no, I don’t mind,” I said with a faint grin on my face.I’ll have to cook up a story I can use to convince them that I’m actually not an enemy or else they won’t hesitate to behead me and kill my child, I thought.“Judging from the fact that you’re an alpha, this is totally strange. A pregnant alpha wandering all by herself,” the second soldier added. With what he said, I was able to cook up a perfect story that they won't have objections to.“You see, I’m an alpha and princess to a small pack. An unpopular pack. You won’t happen to know any claw pack, will you?” I asked, hoping they wouldn't know.
LOGAN’S POV“What did you say you had to stay back to do?” Gertrude asked.“To summon the moon goddess,” I said. I saw a shattered blade on the ground. The blade was probably Scott’s. I picked it up and inserted it into my pocket.“Summon the moon goddess? You must be joking. Aren’t you going to tell me what you really want to do?” Gertrude insisted.“I’ll repeat myself for the last time. I’m going to summon the moon goddess.”I walked into an idle room. I looked around for a while. The room seemed like a good spot. It was also spacious enough for me to perform the summoning spell.“What are we doing here? Is this where you intend to summon the so-called moon goddess?” Gertrude asked with an uninterested tone.“If you have nothing good to say, I suggest that you keep your mouth shut,” I said plainly.“Forgive me, forgive me. So how are you going to summon her?” Gertrude asked.“Firstly, we have to find a spacious and quiet area such as this room. Secondly, I’ll have to use my blood,”
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
