I felt my upper shoulder getting soaked with my own blood as it start to gush out from my torn flesh with Gia still sinking her claws even deeper into the wound she already inflicted on me
I let out a soul shattering scream as she dug deeper and twist my flesh roughly under her claws with a taunting little chuckle in pure satisfaction.
"You have no fucking idea how long I have waited for this very moment. Oh gosh, You really have no idea. I have wanted to see you bleed and suffer for so long that I was starting to think my dreams would never come true but here we are, you and me, finally under my claws and getting what you totally deserve"
"Please stop" I start to cry not able to withstand the torture on my flesh any more but my plea for mercy seem to fuel her hatred even more as she continued to drill me further.
"Beg all you want, cry even but you ain't getting out of here alive and don't think Logan would save you either. Carlos pr
Logan's POV*"And my mother?" I heard her voice demanding an answer I knew I don't have yet. I could already sense and smell her fear as though there were my very own. Avalon has been through so much these past few days that I doubt she would react well to anything I have to tell her at this point."Did you find my mother or she is_she is death?" Her question came strong yet stumbling after each other as her eyes continue to search my green ones for answers she was certain I could give.I let my eyes clenched shut for a moment as i inhaled deeply,suddenly worried my answer to her question would be no good and could cause her more worries and pain. I reached out a hand to her left cheek, caressing the few scratch and bruises there as they were starting to fade into little purplish scar as well.My fingers lingered a little more, feeling her soft skin spray warmth against mine rapidly like wildfire and tugging my eyes back up to meet hers.
Ava's POV*The death of Gia had been hunting me in my dreams and even though Logan told me it's a first timer syndrome and would wane off soon, I can't help but wish it would go away faster. I need to focus on other things. More pressing things like saving my mother from the clutches of that man and now that I actually have a better lead, I can't afford to loose any more focus.It has been three days since Alana joined our camp and offered us her help in rescuing my mother. Making her an alley is something I didn't think was going to work out, given how much we have clash in the past trying to dominant but after spending some more time with her, I realized we are not even that different.Aside from the fact that we both want the same darn thing. She is also a resilient girl who will stop at nothing than to take revenge on the one man that killed her family. I don't know how she found out the truth but i could see it in the way she spoke, the
*After we prepared and got everything ready that night, we packed up what we would be needing and began to head out into the border separating us from the Vega territory. Logan made sure to keep some of his men at the border as backup just in case anything goes wrong and not as planned.The rest of us followed Alana as she was the one leading the way further into the forest. My father's dagger was strapped into my right thigh safely with another smaller one hidden inside my right boot in case of emergency.Logan and Judah are well equipped just as much with little knives and what not. After walking up a few kilometers, we arrived at the hidden tunnel that pretty much lead into much darkness."That's the tunnel you were talking about?" Judah had an annoying look on his face as he gesture with his hands to the rusting metal in front of us.I couldn't see Alana face but I was certain she just rolled her eyes at his absurdity before replying. "Y
*I yelped in pain as I was dropped roughly onto the ground in the cell with my hands still tied. I immediately struggled back on my feet and reaching for my feet to try and retrieve the knife in my boot and cut myself free.It wasn't exactly easy to reach my feet with the binding in my hands but I kept trying until I finally reach it and pulled it out and then cut myself loose as well.I moved towards the barred doors then hesitated, waited even, just listening for any sound of the guards nearby and it must be my luck as no sound of shuffling feet was heard after the last one went striding out the entrance.While waiting, i take another look at my prison and then groan in annoyance when I noticed, the space was really small and worn out and even worst, it was made with stones with no single window.I don't know how but I intend to break myself out of here as I quickly positioned myself firmly against the ground, getting ready to harness my p
*I followed behind the Alpha purposely as he continued to walk out the council hall and into the open. People start to gather when they saw us approaching the arena. Most of the council member followed,probably to watch their Alpha spill out my guts for accusing him of killing my father while most of the pack members just followed out of curiosity with whispers and murmuring."What's going on?" I saw Luke asking someone from the crowd and heard them give him a reply, followed by a growl out of his mouth. I bet he is wondering how I broke out of his prison.My eyes darted around in search of Silas and Logan but found both to be missing, causing a panic to rise in the pit of my stomach.Gosh.We finally arrived at the arena and stepped into it. I rolled up my sleeve, flexed my neck muscle a little bit as I inhaled sharply at the sound of a long high howl indicating the start of the fight."You didn't think your betrayal to my father wil
*I woke up the next morning and was immediately aware of the warm body pressed against me,causing my face to break into a small smile as i turned on my side to face Logan, my finger going to caress a fading bruise against his cheek.Logan seem to be deep in his slumber still and oblivious to my gaze scanning his rather handsome face. I can't believe how far life has brought us. Who could have thought that annoying handsome jerk back at the hallway that fateful day was going to turn out to be such a great and supportive man like he is now.A whole lot happened last night but the best part was getting my mother back, thanks to Alana and Judah who got her back safely in the night before Luke could get to her again. It seems they wanted to take her someplace else so we would never get to her again.I have so much to be thankful for. The fact that, I'm the new ruler of the pack and lying next to the love of my life and also_, I paused briefly in my thou
*I walked into the pack gathering with Logan closely by my side. The murmuring and little talks seem to quiet down, the moment I made my presence known and took my spot at the head of the room and turned to face everyone.Logan squeezed my hand slightly, assuring me of his support and I squeeze right back before inhaling deeply and feeling my powers swell within me, just another subtle reminder that am not alone on so many level.My eyes darted around and found Lily and Alana standing beside Silas and Judah by the entry way. I gave them a small smile and Silas gave me a nod in return. I sighed when i realized who was missing from the crowd. Luna Eveline was not among the gathered which is expected after the demise of her mate and husband, her presence here would have be questionable.As much as I hated what happened to the Alpha, it couldn't be helped. He had a choice to step down as Alpha by telling the truth but he choose the hard way.
*Logan's life practically hang in the balance as he lay between the sheet, shivering with beads of sweat all over his naked flesh even though he is pretty much covered up. His fever keep getting worst by the day. It's been a week since he got shot with a silver arrow on the chest and he has been lying there without any visible changes. It scares the shit out of me how pale he was becoming each passing day.I don't know what else to do to help him even though I have done the best I could by healing most of his injury from the inside, the arrow already did a lot of damage. It's even a miracle that he is still breathing at this point.I caress his rough beards under my palm with a deep sigh, wishing he could wake up already but had to hold back a tear knowing i was hoping for too much. I just wish there is something more I can do to help him recover faster than the rate he was going at the moment.Werewolves have an incredible ability at regenerating new ce
*Six years later **I stood beside the bed in my room facing the open window as I stare into the near distance, as people in the pack went about their daily activities. It's really a beautiful sight seeing how much have changed in just six years. I'm not just talking about the structures here but the people as well. Even the moon goddess seem to be in agreement with more wolves starting to find their mates from night claw pack unlike before.Even Judah and Alana finally admitted that they like each other and it wasn't just the hate and fight. It wasn't exactly surprising given how much time those two spend going at each other throats, it's only fair that they could fail that fiercely in love with each other as well.I inch closer to the window when i saw a newly mated couple emerging from the tree line where they had gone for a run and sighed. I haven't been able to shift and go dashing between the trees myself since I got pregnant again with our third child yet again. The mid day
Ava's POV*Once in my room. I quickly changed into a short summer dress, the color of baby pink and then free my hair from the pins holding it back in place with a relief sigh."Avalon dear, are you alright?" I heard my mother's voice before she slip into the room and heave a relief sigh when she saw me retouching my make up a bit."I'm fine. Just came to change real quick before meeting everyone again""Congratulations Miwa" She cooed into my ear as she pulled me into her arms. I sigh and held her closer before my eyes flick open again.I pulled away suddenly with a raised brow, "Miwa?""That's what your father used to call you. You were a gift from the moon goddess and he always acknowledged that. I guess he is smiling down at how much you have grown and even more so, a woman""Yeah, I guess so"I pull her into another hug with my eyes closed. "Thank you so much for everything. I won't be here today if not for y
*Logan's POVEvery single breath got knocked out of my lungs the moment my eyes dwell on Avalon and her father walking down the aisle and towards me.I couldn't help it as my eyes scan from the crown of her head and down to the soul of her feet. She looked perfect, breath taking even or I won't be here trying to catch my breath.Though her face was hidden behind the veil, I could still picture her rosy lips in a thin line with her brows kneaded together in a nervous way. I couldn't be wrong, judging from the way her hand grip her bouquet of flowers. I could tell she was just as nervous as I was.I could still remember the first time I lay eyes on her back in that hallway in school. Brown hazel eyes filled with so much curiosity stared into mine as though she could see through my very soul. I felt a shift in my destiny when our body made contact even though it was just for a second.The freckles around her cheeks looked so surreal yet, it wa
*"C'mon Ava, you have to get dressed and stop fussing with those damn flowers" Alana scolded me with a frown, standing beside me in a slim fit outfit that matches perfectly with her eyes."Go on girl, you better hurry up now. Logan looks like he is about to pass out, out there. Cooper just texted me" Kara said, coming into the room and beautifully dressed in her maid of honor outfit."I'm glad someone else have noticed" Alana sighed before going to help my mother and Lily take out the cake to the venue.Lily and my mother had just finished adding the final touch on the pink and white cake. It took them three days to get it done and I can't even tell you how proud I really am with those two.I have just twenty minutes left to get dressed,fix my hair and do my make up as well. Thank God for Kara whose expert hands were seriously getting at it already.Fifteen more minutes, I was out of my bathed robe and into my wedding gown and kara had fini
*Different color of freshly picked roses and white lilies trail the hallway and more in the front porch as preparation for my big day draw nearer.My best friend Kara and my parent will be arriving in a day or two and I can't wait to see them again. I haven't seen neither of them in eight freaking months and in those same time frame, a lot has changed. I can totally say am not that girl who left home in pursuit of the truth anymore.A lot has happened that changed how I saw and perceived things and people in general but no matter how much I have grown, I will forever be my parent little girl. I could still remember their reaction over the phone when I told them I was getting married and needed them to come over as soon as possible.*flashback *"What do you mean, you are getting married sweetie" my mom's voice more than screeched at me.She took a deep dramatic pause and then continued, "We haven't seen you in months, only
*I cock a brow at him and he sighed, his expression giving away nothing."Go on and spill it out" I pressured. "I know you want to say something so go ahead and say it already"."Look, I don't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with him but you have to stop feeling guilty over what happened to Carlos. I don't know the extent of your powers and how much control you have over it but what happened isn't your fault. You gave him a choice but he took the hard way so you can't be blame for saving the people you love and care about""You really think so?"He answered with a nod then continued, "I know I shouldn't be saying this but I grew up with Carlos as my best friend and even though we always hang out in high school just like you remembered, we never agreed on a lot of things and that include him being impulsive and hell bent on having his way and just like he said, he really did regret making me your Sol even though you picked me yourself.
*It's been three days now since Logan regained consciousness. He is almost whole again but still weak and his wound a little tender but healing just fine. He is nearly his old self again.After that crazy night of sex between us, Logan still thinks it was a dream even though I told him it wasn't. Just looking into his green eyes make me realize how truly blessed I am. Everything is just starting to fall perfectly in place.For the past days now, I feel like I have done nothing but have sex with him and sleep like a log of wood. Something that can be blame largely on the pregnancy. Werewolf pregnancy can leave someone feeling more weak than a normal human.This pregnancy has made my bond with Logan even stronger than it was before even though he doesn't know the whole truth, he thinks my reaction to him is because of what happened to him. I literally feel depressed and pissed off when he is far from me and can't get enough of him when we are togethe
*After over ten minutes of just seating there in the ruin my room has now become with low heart beat pounding softly in my chest."Are you okay?" I heard my mother's voice jolting me a little. I nodded stiffly before turning to face her. She is the only one left in the room with me and Logan at this point."I'm fine Mom, you should go rest" I told her with a smile and she nod and proceed to rubbing away the pain at the back of her neck. Thank God there was no swelling when I looked at it earlier. Just a little bruises at the point she was hit and am sure, it will heal just fine.There was a moment of silence before I heard her voice again, "I saw what you did to Carlos. Do you want to talk about it?"A little sigh escaped my mouth as I look down at my clasped hands seating against my laps. "I don't know if I did the right thing by leaving him in that state but at that moment, all I could think about was dominating and disarming him completel
*Recap *I tried to go to him but Carlos beat me to it as he quickly stood over him with a silver dagger, directly to his heart."Take another step and I promise not to miss his heart this time"*I closed my eyes and swallowed hard, trying my possible best to stay calm, mainly because Carlos still had that blade too dangerously close to Logan's chest. When I open my eyes again, I had a bit of control over myself as I stare back at him. My lips forming a thin line in annoyance."What do you want Carlos?" I sneered back at him through gritted teeth.He snorted at my question but answered either way, "I want my pack back and also for you to kill that traitor standing beside you for switching on me. I should have killed him that day but looks like luck was on his side" he ended with a glare at Silas direction and i heard him growl under his breath as he took a stance beside me still."How about you be a man and come do it yourself
