Logan’s POVI had gotten an invitation from Alpha Ethan, that he was requesting my presents. Already knowing what it would be about, I knew it was a risk going there. But as Alpha, I could hardly reject an invitation to go and see another Alpha regarding business. Leaving early, around six in the morning to be on time for the nine o’clock meeting. I was still tired from last night, going to sleep that late, but I was used to it, sleeping early wasn’t part of having the title as Alpha.As we drove onto the driveway, Ethan was waiting for me in the clearing, his posture was rigid and his eyes hard. He wasn’t one to hide his emotions well. You could always tell what he was feeling, even if it was heartache. But from what I could see he looked pissed. The instant he saw my car drive in, his eyes darkened even more.“Logan.” His voice greeted me as I stepped out.“Ethan.” I replied, my tone matching his. There was no point of fake friendliness. We both knew why I was there.“Let’s go to m
Marcus’s POVI sat in Ethan’s office, my heart pounding in my chest making it difficult to breathe. The air filled with tension, the kind that can make your skin crawl. I was ordered to meet with Ethan, and I knew exactly what this was about. Assuming the meeting with Alpha Logan went horribly wrong. Then the creek of the door behind me made me startle. Throwing myself around, my eyes met as the figure stepped in.“Alpha Ethan.” I quickly jumped to my feet, showing respect by bowing my head.“Marcus.” He began, his voice dangerously calm, “I’m assuming you know why you are here. Why I called you into my office.”I nodded, swallowing hard, “Yes, Alpha.”He grabbed my head and gave me an uneasy smile, before I knew it my head was against the table. Pain spiked through my face, “Logan has refused to return Veronica. Do you understand the gravity of the situation? The mess that you have caused?”I tried to open my eyes but he held me pinned down, placing more and more force, “I didn’t thi
Veronica’s POVThe birds chirped with joy at my windowsill, as the sun made its way through the curtains. My eyes opened slowly, with a moan I pulled the bedcovers over my head. Then I threw myself open and sat on the corner of the bed. Looking out of the window close to my bed, I watched as the birds sat in the trees. The beautiful colours, red, blue, white. Oh, how I wished that I was a bird. Free to fly anywhere.With a sigh I made my way to the bathroom to take a warm and relaxing shower. I was alone, so to speak. Logan probably left early for his meeting. Only he would know what his meeting held for him. After my shower I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. In search of something to eat, my stomach was rumbling. Opening the fridge I found a piece of chicken that I hope was from last night. Taking it in my hand I sniffed it to make sure it was still safe for human consumption. I looked around making sure no one saw me eat it. Not knowing if I’m allowed to eat it, but I was so
Marcus’s POV“Alpha Logan.” I began, trying to keep my voice steady. His office was filled with shelves reaching to the ceiling. I couldn’t figure out what kind of book he enjoys. Trying to look around to find something to talk about to make the tension less than it was, “It’s a pleasure meeting again.” “Mm. Well?” He said with his eyes fixed onto the papers spread across his desk.I cleared my throat, knowing he wasn’t wanting any small talk, “I’m here, regarding Veronica.”“Are you now? I wouldn’t have guessed.” Setting his pen down, he leaned back into his chair. Now his eyes were on me. “Assuming you’re here to try and clean up your mess. And that Ethan gave you orders to try and convince me to give up Veronica. But, I’m going to stop you and save you the trouble.” He paused for a moment, and an evil smirk appeared on his face, “No.”“Logan-”“Alpha. I’m Alpha Logan to you. If you don’t mind, I have things to do and it doesn’t involve talking to you.”“It was a mistake that I gav
Logan’s POVSitting at the dining room table, I waited for Veronica to meet me. Not knowing if she would actually come, all I could do was wait. I needed her to come and have dinner with me, I had to tell her everything. Hopefully then she won’t be afraid of me. Maybe, just maybe she would see me as a friend and not her enemy. The room was silent, the only sounds that echoed through the air was the tapping of my finger on the table and the sound of my own thoughts. Maya had already made us dinner. I was starving, but I was not willing to eat if Veronica wasn’t sitting across from me. “Henry?”“Yes Sir.”“Do you know if Veronica is coming or not?”“I’m not sure Sir. I would say give it ten more minutes.”“Right.” I let out a sigh, and then Henry cleared his throat making me look up. Then I saw her once again. Her beauty made me lose all ability to speak. She stepped closer and Andrew pulled out the chair for her to sit. “Hey.” I greeted her softly. I couldn’t help but feel the tensio
Veronica’s POVI need to clear my mind and get some clearance. The things that happened the night before lingered like a heavy fog in my mind. It messed around with my thoughts and emotions. The only thing I could think of to do, was to take a walk through the garden. A type of sanctuary to calm the chaos roaming in my mind.As I stepped into the garden, the smell of freshly bloomed flowers made its way to my nose. It made me take a deeper breath. Each step deeper into the garden felt like a piece of burden falling to the ground. The sunrise of the early morning casted shadows over the flowers, making them even more of a beautiful sight.The garden felt like a mase. It looked and felt like it stretched for miles, then my attention was drawn to a fountain. It was placed in the middle of the garden. Its gentle sound of water was a soothing melody. I found a spot to sit on the edge of the fountain. I let the cool marble soothe my body.Closing my eyes, I let myself be carried away by the
Logan’s POVThe tension was thick as I reached the gate, there were about twenty wolves standing outside the walls. Who was this pack? This unexpected visit made me worry about Veronica’s safety. Were they here for her? Or were they here for me? “Open the gates!” I ordered the men.“But Sir, we don’t know who these wolves are.”“Do as you are told.” I said with a stern voice. He nodded and did as I instructed him.The creek of the gates echoed through the courtyard. My heart beating in my chest louder with each passing minute. One of the men stepped closer towards me, his eyes filled with blood. My mouth almost dropped to the ground as I saw the horrible sight. All the wolven had bloody eyes, out of breath, then the man who made his way towards me fell to the ground. Rushing over, I tried to feel for a pulse, but there was nothing. “What happened? What’s going on?” I yelled out seeking answers. “We were attacked. By another…” The man said then joined the other one on the ground. “
Veronica’s POVThe next morning I woke up feeling a bit tired and worn out. Getting dressed, Maya knocked on the door wishing to enter. I let her in with a bright smile, “Morning Ma’am.”“Oh sweetie, don’t call me ma’am, just call me Maya. I’m the one that needs to call you ma’am.”“You can also just call me Veronica. It’s not that I deserve the title ma’am.” My smile faded quickly.“Deary.” She placed her hand under my chin, “Don’t talk yourself down like that, you are worth anything. You are worth more than you give yourself credit for. So, lift your head and so the world what you’re made of.”“Thank you.” I gave her a smile, then her eyes widened.“We’re going to be late.”“Late? Late for what?” I asked surprised. “For the meeting with Alpha Logan. Come on, we need to get you dressed as cleaned up. Come on now.” She pushed me into the bathroom. ***We made our way to the study. I haven’t been here yet. As we walked into the elegantly furnished room, I couldn’t help but feel a bit
