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,”
AMBER’S POVI heard a loud noise. It was like a crowd was cheering. The noise becomes louder.“What was that?” I asked the witch doctor.“Please wait here, I’ll go check,” she said as she exited the room.I held little Grandal in my arms. He looked exactly like his father, and it was that resemblance that feared me the most. If I were to agree on whose behavior he should inherit, I would agree for him to inherit his father’s behavior. Alpha Logan knows nothing about emotions. His points and views differ from that of a regular person. Having no emotional feelings, he makes decisions based on rules and regulations. It made me glad that I was able to change his views concerning peace. I looked at my son and how peaceful he was sleeping.The noises from outside the room became louder. I could only think about what was going on outside. The witch doctor that left to go check out what it was hasn’t returned. She left an hour ago.Just as I was talking about her, she entered into the room wi
LOGAN’S POV“And what does that mean?” I asked with a riddled look on my face.Gertrude turned his head round, looking round the palace. “Alpha Logan?”“Yes?” I answered.“Tell me about your childhood,” he said with a serious look on his face.I glanced at him before looking back at the trees. The rustling of the trees had started to become calmer than before. It was almost dawn now and it was just now I remembered I hadn’t slept for three days.“Why are you suddenly asking about my childhood?” I asked while staring at him.“Curiosity,” he said.“Curiously?”“Yes. You want to figure out the meaning of that riddle, don’t you?” He asked.“Of course I want to,” I determinedly replied.“Then provide answers to my questions no matter how weird you find them.”“Telling you about my childhood would help with the riddle?” I asked impatiently.“Yes,” he plainly answered.“Ok. As rumor says, I was—”“No, that wasn’t the answer I wanted. I don’t want answers that came out of the mouth of curious
LOGAN’S POVGertrude sighed heavily before speaking. “The reason why you cried?”“Yes. The confident smirk on your face tells me that you know the reason why I cried,” I said while staring at him. Waiting for an answer.“You’re the only one who has the answer to that question, Logan. So Logan, what’s the answer to that question?” He asked, also waiting for an answer.I glared daggers at him.“What the hell do you mean?” My bass voice echoed. “You’re beginning to sound a lot like the moon goddess. How would I know the answer to my question and I still insist on asking you?”“It’s simply because you can’t accept that answer. That answer is something you don’t want to be subjected to and that’s why you refuse to agree to it,” he said while wearing a disturbing smirk on his face. “You’re staring at me like you don’t understand yet you do.”He talked about how I knew the answers to my questions but I refused to answer them. At the moment, my question wasn’t as important. My current problem
AMBER’S POV“Are you joking?” I asked impatiently.He replied with ease. “No, I’m not. I’m dead serious.”“Thank you so much, Alpha Scott. I don’t even know where I am going to go after being discharged. I have no one but my child. Thank you for going through the trouble saving me from those thugs yesterday and thank you for giving me a place to stay. You’re really king,” I said as tears started to build up in my eyes.“Yesterday? It was three days ago,” Scott said as he giggled lightly.“Three days ago? Which means that…”“You’ve been asleep for three days. Anyways, you should get some rest, Amber. You’ll need enough strength to feed a baby this big,” he said. He glanced at Grandal before he turned around to leave.“Congratulations, alpha Scott,” I said. He stopped after hearing my compliment.“You’ve also heard of my accomplishments?” He asked.“Of course, I have. Everyone in the palace has been jumping for joy ever since you returned from your mission. I asked the witch doctor and
HANNAH’S POVThe raid had already come to an end. The Rage beast pack had retreated and I was glad. Though they had made a mess of the palace, the mess wasn’t something that was impossible to take care of. Three days ago, that night had turned out to become a dreadful night for the pack and Alpha Logan. It was one problem after the other. Amber ran away from the palace. While in search of her, the palace got attacked. A new question had been on my mind after that night. The question is, why? Almost all the soldiers in the pack had left a few hours ago in search of Amber. I’ve already prayed to the moon goddess that they find her soonest. It was almost sunrise.I entered Amber's room. I moved through the room with my fingers touching whatever I passed. I explored the room like it was my first time in it. I got tired and sat on the bed. I was exhausted from crying for three days. I haven’t had anything to eat or drink for so long and it affected me. I was busy worrying about the well-be
HANNAH’S POV“What are you doing here all alone, Hannah?” Louis asked as she made her way into the kitchen. She noticed that I made a glass of grape juice so she couldn’t contain her excitement.“Are you having this refreshing drink all alone?!” She snatched the glass off the counter and drank it all. Her face immediately became pale.“Is there something wrong?” I asked, knowing what was wrong. The juice had no taste but it wasn’t that bad.“What’s this?!” She screamed as she started to rinse her tongue with the running tap.She cried bitterly as she washed her tongue.“This isn’t coming off,” she cried.I stood there watching the never ending drama of tongue scrubbing. I was also wondering why she was overreacting. The juice wasn’t tasting so bad.“What’s wrong?” I asked with a riddles look on my face.“Are you really asking me that question with such a puzzled look? Haven’t you tasted this atrocity?” She barked.“Atrocity? Such bad words for a juice that only lost its taste. You’re
LUKE’S POV“How did the search go?” Gertrude asked.“It was pointless. As you can see, we didn’t find Amber. I wonder where she is,” I said while stroking my chin in confusion. My soldiers and I decided to rest after searching for a day with the mindset that a pregnant woman in labor must’ve sat behind a tree to rest.To our surprise, we couldn’t find her. It was like she vanished or probably she’s been planning to run away for a long time; she had a destination.“Something’s still unclear to me,” I said as I entered the palace.“And what’s that?” Alpha Logan asked with a straight face.“The fact that we couldn’t find her. What happened to her? Where could she be? These are the types of weathering me,” I said with a disturbed look on my face.Alpha Logan noticed the distress that was laced round my face. It was his family that ran away but from the looks of it, it seemed to bother me more than him. Though we may wear a calm expression on his face, his dead worried about them.“Why are
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
