Aimee’s P.O.V Over the next few weeks, I saw little of Logan. He had left for his office before I woke in the mornings and did not return until late evenings. He seemed busy and left me out of the pack affairs. I mused dryly as I recalled the times I came across him on the porch or in the corridors. Once he became aware of my presence, he’d rush off like he was in a hurry and pointedly ignore me. Although, Alpha Logan had books delivered into my room and sent flowers every morning, with beautiful handwritten notes that barely had any words but strangely was enough to make my heart tingle while reading them. There was a time I was taking a stroll in the garden and some of his guards leered at me. A low growl resounded in the air and let's just say, I never saw them ever again. Did he kill them because of me? And why did that thought make my pulse race like a stallion on meds? I knew I should be horrified. Alpha Logan might have killed his own men for just looking at me. But, and I mi
Aimee's P.O.VThe short journey to the venue was otherwise completed in silence, but once there, Logan changed into an entirely different person.Exuding his perfect charms, he led me into one of the private rooms at a fancy building I later discovered was a Casino. Despite my designer gown and the diamond and platinum earrings Logan had given me, I felt seriously out of place. This was not my world and I felt like an outsider amidst the other guests who inhabited the exclusive group of the super-rich Alphas.I was already overwhelmed by everything, unprepared to meet so many people. My heart was pounding, and I could feel my eyes tearing up as my mouth went dry.Logan noticed it and used his thumb to wipe off a tear so softly it made my heart ache. “You’re doing so good, Aimee. You don’t have to talk to anyone.”Oh boy, that wasn’t even reassuring at all.He led me to a group of exquisitely dressed people, snaking his arms around my waist. The others watched us as if we were celebrit
Aimee’s P.O.V“I didn’t even get your name—” I ignored the strange guy as I pulled the skirt of my dress up to my knees and shoved through the crowd in pursuit of Logan.A weird smile danced on my face as I recalled his hurt and sweltering expression. Alpha Logan wasn't all cold? He got jealous because I was talking to another man! Oh, so cute. My stomach knotted as I’d never had anyone get so hot and bothered for me. “Wait up!” I gritted, my voice barely audible above the music and chats as I tried to follow his long strides. He walked so fast I could barely see his head through the clusters of bodies.Why was I going after him, though? I wondered as I pushed someone out of the way. I did nothing wrong, so why don’t I just leave him salty? Why did I care so much about his opinions about me? Why did it matter?My feet came to a halt as a blast of wind steered my hair—which had come loose earlier—into a wild dance around my face. I realized I was now outside the building.Streaks of l
Aimee’s P.O.VWaves of desire rendered me useless as he used the hand on my neck to steer me into the room he unlocked and deposited me on the bed that sat in the center.Aside from the red lights, I couldn’t take in anything else as my eyes blurred and my heart pounded furiously. I think I was going into heat. I tried to fight it but when I lifted my lashes, Logan was staring down at me—no hint of amusement on his face, just stark, primitive hunger and an implacable determination in his eyes that sent alarm feathering down my spine.I jerked my head as the door opened and a beautiful woman stepped into the room, instantly going on her knees.“Welcome to my Harem,” Logan growled, foiling my attempt to scramble off the bed by coming down beside me and pinning me to the mattress with insulting ease.“What are you doing?” I tried to scream, but my voice came out as a breathless whisper as he wrapped a hand around my neck. Then his other hand feathered down to the strap of my dress, and I
Aimee’s P.O.V The room smelt like sex and blood, and I sucked in air through my mouth to hold down the contents of my stomach. Goosebumps dotted my skin as I sat—knees pulled up and arms wrapped tightly around them—in a corner of the room, far away from the places Logan or Nancy had touched. Since my dress was ruined, I only had Logan’s jacket to cover my nakedness. My wolf had detached from me after Logan marked and left with Nancy in his arms. For the first time, I missed her nagging, missed her goofy smiles. No matter how much I tried to mind-link with her, she kept shutting me out. Was she hurt? Yeah, probably. But I’d warned her not to grow too attached to him. I refuse to beat myself up about her. She’d bounce back in the long run and would be stronger. The silence in the room roared loud, matching the thumps of my heart. Was I numb…in shock? I didn’t know.A yawn escaped me just as the door was pushed open. “Aimee?” I snapped my head to the side on hearing Beta Damien’s voic
Logan’s P.O.V I opened my eyes and instantly regretted it. The light was like a thousand needles piercing my skull and this strange fucking beeping noise was a siren in my ears. Fuck, what did I drink last night? I lay still for a moment, hoping the pain would subside, but it only grew worse with that fucking beeping noise. I groaned, reaching for the device, only to touch something soft…and warm. I turned to my side and saw a woman lying next to me, her blonde hair covering her face. She was naked, and so was I. Shit, who the fuck was she? Staring closer, I noted a mark on her neck tinged red and fresh. Wait! What? A mark! A fucking bite mark! I bolted upright, almost falling from the bed. A wave of nausea washed over me and I rolled over to the edge of the bed, dry heaving. The sounds I was making seemed to stir the woman awake and spiders crawled down my spine as she wrapped her arms around my naked back. “Are you okay, baby?” Her voice felt like nails scratching over a cerami
Aimee’s P.O.V I walked down the hall, my mind a web of confusion and anger. I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Logan, my mate, who literally kidnapped me from my pack, forced me to remain with him or bear his child, introduced me to his business partners as his Luna, had just asked me who I was like he didn’t know me. And then followed another woman into his room. “Hey, Aimee…” I choked on a breath as Ella placed a hand on my shoulder, jolting me upright. “Good Gracious, you scared me!” I clutched my racing heart. “Sorry, if this is not a good time, I could come back later.” Her face fell and she turned to leave. I hastily reached out and held her finger. “No…Tell me what happened.” Her shoulders straightened and she turned to me with a flourish. “I found a few things on that Nancy woman…” I couldn’t believe I was back in the club. Memories assailed me and for a brief moment, my senses swam and Logan materialized beside me and wrapped his hands around my neck. “Aime
Aimee's P.O.VI blinked my eyes open, feeling a sharp tug on my scalp. I reached for the source of the pain, expecting to find a tangled knot of hair, or a loose thread from my pillow. Instead, I felt something warm and flurry. A pup? No wait, that pup? I lifted my head and saw the adorable little monster holding a clump of my hair in its mouth. It looked at me with wide, alarmed eyes, then dropped the hair and ran away, leaving a trail of saliva and strands behind it. I sat up, confused and startled. Where does it come from? How did it get into my room a second time? With everything that had been happening, I didn’t feel safe any longer. I looked around and saw the window open, letting in the morning breeze. Maybe it climbed up from outside when I saw sleeping? I sucked in a deep breath and shrug into a robe. It was probably nothing and I was overreacting. As I cleaned up in the bathroom, the events of the previous day played in my head. From the conversation I had with Ella’s sou
