Logan's POVI have been expecting Beta Peter to come to see me privately, but he hasn't shown up.I still wondered why he lied to my father about my visit to the hospital. I was sure he definitely saw that I went there to question the small doctor.Although his action was questionable, he saved the small doctor. If he had told my father that I went to question her, she wouldn't be safe. Father would have commanded that she should be dragged down for questioning irrespective of her condition.As far as I was concerned, I still wanted to have a full grasp before deciding on what to do. If she was indeed guilty, I wouldn't hesitate to turn her over for punishment. The punishment for such an offense is death by hanging.Heaving a sigh, I rose to my feet and took a stroll around my chambers. I was smiling at the beautiful sunrise when the door opened. Lian walked in in the company of her guards. She had recovered fully and she was back on her feet. Mother had insisted that she stopped h
Lian's POVI couldn't lay low and watch things unfold. I was going to find things out my own way. I only waited to heal up and now I am as fit as a fiddle.Going out to find the small doctor was only an excuse to leave my chambers. Well, it wasn't just an excuse, I needed to see her. That night, I saw her in the woods where I was poisoned. I had walked along a beautiful creek when I found myself in the woods.I fell in love with the woods instantly. For some reason, l loved the serenity. I was a lively person and I loved a lively environment. But I was appalled by the beauty of the woods.It was surrounded by beautiful hills. The light from the full moon cast shadows over the hills making it feel all eerie. Funnily, I loved the feeling and I was compelled to have my first shift there.Walking deeper into the woods, I saw a field of wild lilacs. The fragrance reminded me of the small doctor, reminding me of what happened at the party.Walking past the flowers, I noticed a lone cave no
Lian's POVTrudging through the crowd, I made my way to the forefront where I had last seen the elderly man. Surprisingly, the man and the lady were gone, only a few students from the crowd were scattered here and there, murmuring and laughing. This is bad, I thought as I looked around. "Where are they? The man and the lady?" I charged toward the crowd, looking here and there, but nobody gave me an audience. They turned their backs to leave and continued to murmur.Angrily, I pulled a guy out from the crowd. He looked at me in astonishment and smirked as he raised his hand to hit me. My guard seized his arm amidst the air and the stupid smirk the guy had fell off his face immediately.I was sure he did not know that I was the Princess, my hunter shorts and jacket were a good cover.Seeing the hilt of the sword I hid behind me, the guy's eyes shone wide and he fidgeted."Where is the man and the lady?" I asked plainly this time."I don't… I don't know, but the man dragged her along
LianI looked at the old man with disdain, hatred beaming in my eyes as I tried to restrain myself from slashing him in the neck."You vile and evil man! How could you!? She is your daughter for crying out loud," I yelled, pointing at my guard who was fast disappearing with Renae clutched in his arms."The small doctor is nice and I hope she did not inherit a bit of your wickedness!" I blurted. "So you know, Renae Hart is dead as of today!" I repeated firmlyThe old man remained unfazed, he stood there looking coldly at me as I ranted. My blood boiled and I tightened my grip on my sword, using all my strength to stop myself from slashing the vein on his neck.My gaze darted around and I stared at the woman and the lady beside her. Instantly, I concluded that she wasn't Renae's mother. No mother would watch or do this to her daughter.I wanted to talk but I was short of words. I shook my head slowly and staggered away.I returned to my carriage and ordered my men."Return to my chamb
Logan's POVI shrugged as I watched Lian leave in the company of her guards. I had thought Mother would be able to stop her from leaving the palace but she couldn't. She only ensured that Lian was dressed like a Princess and she was in the company of her guards.Going in the company of her guards was all for her safety which was quite important, but it wasn't really my concern. I didn't want her to meet the small doctor yet. I wanted to find things out on my own.Knowing Lian well, I have a strong feeling that she wouldn't lay low. She would go out of her way to investigate the attempt made on her life and I knew it was exactly why she wanted to meet the small doctor.I walked out of my chambers watching her carriage vanish into the thin air.Not knowing what to do. I pulled out my horse from the stable and mounted it in a hurry. I have to stop them from meeting."My Prince!!!" My guards and horsemen chorused. When they realized that I wouldn't stop, they jumped out of the way. I saw
Logan's POVAll through the ride, Leon and I were excited. Jennifer's scent was making us go insane and we couldn't help it. As I sniffed her scent noisily, I pulled her closer to my body with my arm that was holding her middle.Slowly, I dragged my fingers through her stomach, tickling her. She giggled, trying to peel my arm off her body. "Logan… we are on the horse… it tickles… stop it," she giggled, her voice sounding funny in the slow moving wind."The horse is steady and going slowly… You are in safe hands," I said huskily, brushing my teeth against her ear lobe."Logan!" She hit my legs softly, and shifted away from me."You have nowhere to run to," laughing hard, I pulled her back into my chest and she flinched, giggling too.We laughed heartily and I continued to taunt her. I was still tickling her when I rode past Lian's carriage.I blinked hard as I saw it waiting by the roadside. Guards were dispersed around it, guarding with all alertness.What the heck is Lian doing? Wh
Lian's POV With a big smirk on my face, I returned to my chambers. I was neither happy nor sad. "Jennifer is good enough for him," I repeated like a mantra. My voice sounded abrasive, I could feel the uncertainty underlying it. It is no news, I disliked Jennifer and she disliked me too. I couldn't bear to think that at some point someone like her would be the Luna of the Moonlight Pack. My maids trailed behind me as I walked into my living room. After I had dismissed them, I slipped into my bedroom and escaped into my secret chamber. Targon was still on guard. I smiled as I beheld his shining sword. He bowed and I gave him a thumbs up before looking away. My head maid had a sore smile on her face. She wasn't happy that I made the royal physician treat a commoner but she knew she had no say in the matter and she couldn't defy my orders. The physician was still at work. The small doctor's face was still and calm, her eyes were clamped shut. A steaming bowl of water was right be
Logan's POVI remained in the bathtub for what seemed like an eternity, shocked and weakened by the revelation. At first, I wanted to deny it, I wanted to believe I was wrong. But who am I kidding? The evidence was staring me in the face.Like a dream, all that I had believed turned out to be lies. I recounted how I had tried to love Jennifer when I felt nothing for her. I put up with the irritation because I felt guilty that I took her virginity and because I felt indebted to her for saving me and nursing me through the night. I must have looked like a pathetic fool to her.My forehead heated up like I was having a fever. My skin burned and the water in the bathtub became warm and uncomfortable.Heaving a sigh, I braced up myself and stepped out of the bathtub. I patted my body dry with a towel. Of course, I did it shabbily, I was absent-minded."Damn it! Her virginity was still intact!" I rasped. She was definitely not the same girl I had slept with and she wasn't the one that took
