Aimee’s P.O.V“The Luna wants you to bring her tea,” Ella said to me, passing me an apologetic smile over the huge industrial stove. “I could go if you don’t—”I cut her off whilst shaking my head. “I got it. It’s just tea.” I left the stove and walked over to the other huge slab where the pots, kettles, and pans were stored. As I measured a quantity of water in the kettle, I fought to kill the stupid smile that refused to leave my face since my heat abated yesterday and I returned to the beta’s tower. I now knew everything about Logan and I planned to stand by my vow to assist him in any way I could, even if it meant serving Nancy as a maid. At least it made Kira less of a bitch since we were soon pulling Nancy out of the picture.“You know you still haven’t told me what happened between you and the alpha for the days you spent in his room,” Ella chirped next to me and, jolting me from my thought as I wondered how she’d walked across the kitchen to meet me without my notice.You star
Aimee’s P.O.VMy heart skipped a beat and like a deer caught in headlights, I jumped apart from Damien, suddenly feeling guilty as if I was doing something I shouldn’t. Which I wasn’t! We were having a conversation, nothing more, despite the way our proximity might have hinted at something else.“Think about what I told you.” I threw at Damien before hightailing it toward Ella who still had that strange smile on.“What was that all about?” she mused softly as I reached her.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I glanced over my shoulders, not surprised to find Damien gone. “Nancy threw the hot tea on me and it blistered my skin.”Her eyes widened in alarm as she looked all over me to find the burn which was odd because it was glaring that my chest was red. Anyway, the concern on her face deepened when she seemed to see it. “Shit, That's awful! That bitch! Did you do anything to her? Why would she throw something that hot at you?”I shrugged, my anger subdued. “Jealousy? It doesn’t hurt a
Aimee’s P.O.VThe hall next to the winding stairs in the Alpha’s mansion was bustling with a mix of crowd like never before. Hell, I dared to say they were more than the people present at the Moon Festival. No one had any idea why the Alpha had called for a gathering, inviting all other pack leaders and their betas and gammas. That was why my family was here.‘Maybe he wants to declare war.’ A fearful voice hushed from the teeming horde and I felt my heart twist in his spot. What if they were right? And who was he declaring war against to have invited everyone?Another voice provided a more dreadful response to my thought. ‘We all know Alpha Logan has been creating alliances with all packs around. What if he’s decided it’s time for every pack to join him in his war against the wolf King of the southern regions?’I gasped, realizing I wasn’t the only one who gasped, finding that suggestion absolutely horrendous. The wolf king was the moon goddess lover, Cu Chulainn and a war against hi
I had a plan.A plan that would make Bruce fall right into my hands if everything worked out.And this time, I wasn’t sending him to prison. I’d make sure I sliced off his head and bury his headless body right beside his mother’s. My blood burned a hot path in my veins as I thought of what he did to Katie. How he snuffed out her life without a trace of remorse. He thought he could escape my wrath by hiding behind a child's face. He obviously failed for I now knew who the little boy he shifted to. Theophilius. Thanks to none other than Nancy.She came to me a few days ago, spilling secrets like a broken faucet. She said she already knew I wasn’t hers and she knew she was living on borrowed time. So she offered me a deal: she would be a bait to lure Bruce out of his hiding place if spared her life and gave her a place in my pack. I got to know more about his shapeshifting abilities and their limitations. How his original body decayed with every transformation, forcing him to switch bac
Aimee’s P.O.VWe lay side by side on his bed, not touching except for our fingers which lay interwined between us on the mattress. It felt like a shy gesture, a tentative exploration of each other like teenagers learning to flirt with each other for the first time. That was how most normal relationships started though. Tentatively getting to know each other before the crazy stuff. But we got ours backwards and somehow it was working. or was it?I could feel his warmth, his heartbeat, his breath, but I didn't let him take me into his arms. He had asked me to stay with him, not for sex, he'd said, but for comfort. He said he needed me, and I couldn't refuse even though it was a little hard to be around him after everything that had happened without the intensity of the mate bond that had drive us wild. So there he was, Alpha Logan, lying sprawled on his side, naked except for his silk black boxers, his lips slightly parted and his eyes closed. If the lighting was better, I say his chee
Aimee's P.O.VClasses went without hassles today and I couldn't wait to return back to the pack. Logan kept to his words and has begun to rebuild the Beta's Tower. Although they didn't say it outrightly, most of the maids had started acting a little nicer towards me, even Isra who had abandoned me to work for Nancy.Only one thing left untended to and that's my suggestion that maybe Nancy set me up to be raped. I could understand why Logan found it hard to come to terms with. if that was true then he was wrong for punishing all of his men and to top it all, it meant, His brother and Nancy had more allies in his pack than he wanted to believe.he'd begun doubting if his closest pack officials and the elders were still loyal to him. I'd say he was now paranoid if his pack was being torn into two parts. a team for his brother and the other for him.And though they said one's mind worked best when paranoid, it could lead to his downfall if it overwhelmed him to the point of distrusting ev
My teeth clamped down on my lip to hold another yelp as he cursed under his breath and took the call.A robotic machine altered voice echoed through the speakerphone. “Did you succeed?” there is an unmatched excitement in the voice as if whoever it was wanted to come in and grab the tape they thought the man must have videoed already.“Not yet sir.” He finally responded.wait... What? Sir? It... it wasn't Nancy? “No? What are you holding back? Did that bitch say something to you? Let me tell you that she’s the most cunning person ever. She’s just stalling for time and waiting for people to save her. Do what I fucking asked you to and take the fucking video."The man seemed to be stimulated by the angry robotic voice and his eyes turn red again.He hung up the phone and gritted his teeth.I took a shaky step back, the blood draining from my face. this couldn't happen to me. I wouldn't allow it. tears spilled from my face unchecked.Instantly, the man rushed.over and pressed me tightly
Aimee's P.O.VI clutched my chest and scrambled away from the horror in front of me. My lips burned with pain, blood dripping down my chin into my knees which were tucked in beneath me.I was clad only in my bra, exposed and vulnerable to those monsters so I tightened my arms around me, rocking from side to side as my ears blurred. I couldn't bear to to look at the kidnapper or the man who'd saved me.My mind soon turned blank, the only emotion registering was terror. My lungs locked up, as if a noose tightened around my neck and I realized I couldn't breathe. From the back of my mind, I realize I was having a panic attack and all I had to do is open up my lungs and breath, but I couldn't stop it. No matter how hard I tried to tell myself to breathe, nothing was working. I was lying on the floor in my bra, heaving, sobbing, unable to breathe.I felt a hand on my head, and I curled into myself even more as my body trembled.“You’re safe, Katie.” the voice sounded distant yet familia
