Logan's POVMy smile fell off my face as soon as I left my mother's chambers. All that Targon had said to me was still hot. They played out in my head and I just couldn't believe them.I remembered the intercourse I had with Jennifer that resulted in pregnancy. It looked staged and all. It looked like I was under a spell or something, but I decided to let it go at that time just to avoid an embarrassing situation.Here we are, my negligence has come to haunt me. This time, I must find this out. I must get to the bottom of this. I thought as I proceeded toward my chambers. I intended to stop by Renae's chambers. I wanted to see her and the twins.I was so close when I heard Targon's voice. It was laced with dread and I knew something was amiss. He fell in front of me. One of his knees on the floor with his head bowed.I signaled to the other guards to move backward. They did and I commanded Targon, "Rise and speak, I am all ears." Slowly, he rose to his feet but he still kept his hea
Renae's POV Night had fallen and I hadn't seen Logan since he left in the morning. The Queen mother had insisted that I set up my chambers. She said that it was important that I have my own space. So I was busy alongside June and the maids as we set up my chambers.Despite my business, I still missed him. I had been checking at intervals to see if I would see him passing. We had stopped the day's work and I took a stroll outside my chambers. That was when I caught a glimpse of Logan, he was coming to my chambers.I scurried in and hid in the corridor waiting for him. But suddenly, Targon, his personal guard, appeared from nowhere. I saw him fall on his knees before Logan and I prayed earnestly that he wouldn't spoil the moment for me. I need my man right now.After Targon left, Logan gave a long look at my chambers and turned away towards his chambers. I didn't see his face, but with his sagging shoulders and crooked strides, I knew that whatever Targon said wasn't good.I turned in
Rena's POVWe proceeded in silence. Logan's hand in my hand was the assurance that I needed. It was more soothing than words."What are you playing at, Jennifer?" Logan asked suddenly, breaking the silence."What do you mean, my Alpha? I am playing my role as the Luna," Jennifer responded smoothly."Your role? You deserted your role for five years so isn't this sudden?""Well I decided to give the man who killed my father a warm welcome. He will be my sister-in-law's groom. Isn't that ridiculous? I should give him an official pat. What a messed up family tree!" She snarled."And isn't the family tree more messed up when an Alpha chose the daughter of the man who killed his father as his Luna," Logan fired."Moreover, I need to make your concubine know her place. I am the Luna of the Moonlight Pack." Logan gripped my hand more tightly but he did not look my way."Did you save me for the show? Five years ago if Alpha Noel didn't take that shot, I would have died in your father's hands.
Jennifer's POVI marched out of the hall with shoulders high. But once I was out of earshot, I crumbled and supported my back on the wall.I am the Luna, but what did they do? They just threw me out of the hall. And the Princess who would be getting married to the man who killed my father has the guts to call me a bitch. They dragged me in the mud in the presence of everyone.My maids had sighted me. They rushed down to me and helped me back to my chambers. I just made a fool of myself."Ruga! Come on in," I commanded as soon as I got into the lobby where he was standing guard.My maids led me into my bedroom. They help me shower and it went a long way to ease my tension.When I was done, I invited Ruga in."Thank you for taking care of that bastard last night, it came at the right time," I said to him, referring to my ex that he killed the previous night. In this world, only three people knew about Asher's paternity; my father, my ex and me. Two are out and I am the only one remaini
Lian's POVIt all felt like a dream, I still didn't believe I could have Alpha Noel again. I thought I had pushed him away and my feelings for him were all gone. But when the news of his wedding came, dying embers of love in my heart came alive. I owned it all to my brother. Although I would still give him an earful for his trick. They pulled a fast one on me and I fell hard for it.Staying there at the palace gates, I watched Noel and his men as they galloped away. After they were out of sight, I remained there grinning and smacking my lips. All that was in my head was the last kiss I shared with Noel. He kissed me just before he mounted his horse. While I hesitated, he didn't even care about his subordinates. He kissed me until I moaned.We didn't want to leave each other's company, but we had no choice, he had to leave. He is the Alpha of his pack."Shit! I hate distance relationships. We are soon getting married," he mumbled before leaving in the evening.Lian! Snap out of it,
Renae's POVThe day's event was still fresh in my head. Who would forget Jennifer's stunt quickly? I still didn't understand why she showed up at the feast. She had been hiding all the while.After seeing June all dressed and looking gorgeous at the event, my heart bled for Eden. How I wished he was here with us.I acknowledged his life and death. His choices saved me and Logan. Thinking about it made me cry my eyes out all through the night. First thing tomorrow morning, I would visit him. I had been avoiding it but not anymore.******Morning came and June was awake already. I drew out the banquet of flowers that June had picked for the occasion. And without saying a word June followed me.Brian and Brax were asleep at mother's chambers so June was free.It was just a few minutes past Dawn so it was still cold. We braced ourselves up in our jackets and mufflers as we proceeded out of my chambers.June made some of my guards follow us from a distance even when I was against it. I fel
Renae's Pov"Sweet heart, are you there?" Logan's voice boomed in my head."Yes, my Prince… I mean… My Alpha.. I am fine. I am here," I said brokenly.It was sunrise and I was still in the cemetery. I was sitting on the grass hugging my knees as I rested my back on Eden's grave."Where are you? I have checked your chambers, you are not there. Mother said she hasn't seen you today either," Logan queried."Yes, my Alpha, I am at Eden's grave, I came to see him, I have been avoiding it since I returned." "You should have informed me… we ought to visit him together, I have a lot to tell him too,""Come and take me back home, please," I pleaded.I had thought about what June said but I haven't reached a conclusion. I still believed that there was no reason to go against Jennifer. I am the problem here. She had been living her life in obscurity for five years until I showed up.If she wants me to leave, I will leave to keep everyone safe."Renae? What's wrong? You were lost in thought and
Renae's PovWhen I woke up from my sleep, I realized that I hadn't slept for long and Logan was gone.I was the only one in the room with my maids who were always at my service. June was not in sight, which was unusual.I felt weak for some reason and I knew that it must be all that happened in the morning.I remembered Jennifer's threat and I sat up thinking on what to do. I realized that if I ran now, I'd continue to run and I might still lose all those who I wanted to protect.That was what happened with Eden. I kept the truth just like Jennifer wanted but the truth always has a way of coming to light. When Jennifer realized that she couldn't hide the truth anymore she decided to take me out of the picture.My father and I were never on good terms, but who knows? He might still be alive if I had spoken the truth. Instead of the stigma of an unplanned pregnancy, I would have enjoyed the privileges of being the Prince's bride from the beginning hence my father wouldn't have been enta
