Chapter 44Logan's POV:The weight of the mate bond hung heavy on my shoulders, a constant reminder of the emptiness that had taken root in my heart. Selena's absence was like a physical ache, a wound that refused to heal no matter how much time passed.I could feel my wolf growing weaker with each passing day, the strength and vitality that had once coursed through my veins slowly seeping away. It was as if a part of me had been torn out, leaving behind a gaping hole that nothing could fill.The nightmares came every night, vivid and terrifying. In my dreams, I saw Luke, his face twisted with malice and hatred as he lunged at me, his claws tearing into my flesh. I could feel the searing pain of his attack, could hear my own screams echoing in my ears as he tore me apart.I would wake up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding in my chest and my breath coming in ragged gasps. The terror of the dream would linger, clinging to me like a second skin that I couldn't shake off.It was on one of
Chapter 45Logan's POV:Three months. It felt like an eternity since Selena had been taken from me. The mate bond that once thrummed with life and energy now felt like a frayed thread, barely holding on. With each passing day, I could feel my powers waning, my strength diminishing. It was as if a part of me was slowly dying, withering away in Selena's absence.I pushed myself harder than ever before, training until my muscles screamed and my lungs burned. But nothing seemed to help. The betrayal of Luke, my trusted beta, only added to the weight of my despair. How could I have been so blind?As the sun began to rise, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold, I set out for my daily run. My feet carried me along the familiar path, every step bringing me closer to the spot where I had saved Selena so long ago. It had become a ritual of sorts, a desperate hope that one day I would find her there, waiting for me.But as always, the clearing was empty, save for the whisper of the wind thro
“Where have you been all day? Two nights in a row, and you are sleeping out?.” Zara asked, causing a hit. It wasn't like she actually cared,She wasn't concerned with what script it was they were all brought from; she was determined to have her way, and with explaining things as such and making such drastic decisions, made things better for her.“I do not wish to talk," Logan responded as he made his way towards the bathroom. He pulled off his jacket and then his trousers, leaving him in his shorts. He scanned his eyes around and reached towards the closet for warmer cloth before wriggling himself into it as well. He just lost one woman that he loved—the only thing that ever mattered to him.The person he didn't want to converse with at the moment was none other than Zara ; she had been his first nightmare, and suddenly, due to some attitude, he was at fault for how she was breathing down his neck and asking baseless questions.“And do I look like I wish to rant? You made me your ma
selene split her eyes open slowly, her gaze fixed on her surroundings while she glanced around.Why was she awake? The last thing she recalled was being in bed, a little more tired than she needed to be.But this wasn't her bed; as a matter of fact, nothing around looked like hers. She tensed up as it all came to her: the memories of the previous occurrences—she had been crying in the rain, Logan had chased her, some passersby had helped her. So why was she here?.“You should not be getting yourself worked up, nor should you have been on the road to begin with.” A voice called out to selen . She raised her head slowly in the direction it came from, and to her surprise, a strikingly handsome man remained in the chair, knees crossed with a book in his handsHe had not moved his gaze by a bit; he wasn't worried about her, and that ended up just saying she wanted to while she took in as much information she could have about the man who appeared right across the room.There was something
!Nathan sensed selene 's worry, but he meant no harm; all he wanted to do was spend some time with her."Please, your Highness, if you won't mind standing by the side a bit, I'll be done soon.'' selene responded before grabbing her brooms. She felt really disturbed by every bit of it; as a matter of fact, she didn't like the occasion one bit. Why was he being unnecessarily grumpy when she had done nothing to him“Your Highness? I see someone who has gotten better manners in the span of a week and who trained on speech and etiquette." Nathan asked, teasing her on purpose. selene understood what it was that he was doing and chose to ignore him. She moved the furniture and wiped continuously while his gaze remained on her.There was just about selene that enchanted him; it could be her beauty, but Nathan knew he was an alpha; he had seen one too many beautiful she-wolves and knew certainly it wasn't that. Perhaps her humility as well, but then he had met with hundreds of shewolved
A whole week had passed since the incident, and he had never felt at his lowest like he had done at the moment. He found himself driving day and night, most times until dawn, even in the middle of the night, returning to the spot he had left, hoping selene had somehow returned for him.He hated himself each passing minute or his love; everyone in the pack felt his pain as well. He no longer attended meetings; all he did was sit home and sulk. Gray has been in charge of most of his meetings, covering his spaces and outing information. He knew he could barely cover up the truth for long; certain things needed to be done.“Again!” Gary asked while he made his way into Logan 's room, sure enough to have the bottle of alcohol snatched off his wrist before setting towards the bar once more.“You can't keep living your life like this; I understand that you miss her, and you've got to make hard choices; I understand that there is nothing else that is worth living for, but you still can't kee
selene remained tinned in her seat while her eyes were pinned against those of nathan e. She wasn't sure what to say, but eventually a scoff eased up her throat while she rolled her eyes around a bit, feeling really funny at the moment.“You really know how to make one; am I expected to say yes to this silly attempt at a joke? And worse still, you meant it; why on earth will I decide to accept the proposal from some sort of man I've never known?” selene questioned Nathan while he nodded.Of course, he had been a man of few words and more action. Nathan knew so well that if he wanted to force her into marriage, he could, but he wasn't interested in having the method used on selene ; quite a lot had caught his fancy. He wasn't sure what it was that he felt for her, but the doctor made it clear when he asked her to be treated that she was expecting a child in a few months ahead.At that moment, selene had hooked him. Although there had still been more than enough means of keeping ta
“I think you have a better shot to be Alpha than your brother. I mean, how much longer will you continue to bask in his shadows?” Zara asked while she was closer to Lexus, gently placing her head against his chest.Lexus felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing Giannis' words; he had to admit that his feelings for Zara had suddenly become way too much for him to bear. He was crazy about it. At first, it started off between them with nothing but a little smile, maybe little talk, little walks and talks every few words, and for Lexus his feelings for Zara were genuine.But Zara was wrong; perhaps Lexus was not too keen on the words. afterall she knew that there wasn't going to be much trouble and talks,besides, Logan was in love with selene and didn't feel a single thing for Zara , Lexus believed things were not to continue. He had to do one thing or do another, but talks of Logan and impeachment had never been anything he would want to consider, and so far, Zara has been push
