Renae's POVLian led me back at my own pace as I took baby steps towards the bed. She carefully tucked me in and walked a few distance away from me."Now, you have filled your stomach and you have used the comfort room. You had all you needed. It's my turn now," she said. Her eyes darkened and I knew she meant every bit of her words."Do not test my patience," she warned and folded her arms across her breasts. She turned her back against me and I gripped the edges of the bed."Where did you go when you left my birthday party?" Her voice boomed. It was cold and emotionless.Fear gripped my heart and I swallowed the lump in my throat. "I went to the woods behind the Hollow Creek.""Why did you do that to me?" She snapped."I did nothing wrong. You were unconscious and I saved you!" I said and she turned around. She approached my bed with the speed of light and slapped me hard on the face."You can say that again, you dirty liar! Why did you try to kill me? Did you have a change of hear
Logan's POVThe cool breeze caressed my skin but I felt hot. The day was still young but a lot has happened already. The small doctor was missing and Noel's saga still stood out in my head.Jennifer, whom I had pushed out of my way, was still in a daze as I walked away. Without sparing her a glance, I went my way and made it down to the Alpha's office. I had a lot to discuss with my father.Although I knew he was almost always with his Beta, I still prayed he would be alone when I arrived, it would make me feel unhindered to speak with him.The guard announced my presence and I was led in. Meeting Beta Peter and my mother in the office, I groaned and said my greetings.I was about to mind-link my father that I wanted to see him alone when my mother spoke up."See who we have here," she said, her pretty face crackling up in a warm smile."Son, I know that you are busy- the investigation and all. But you should always try not to skip your early morning greetings, it's also one of your o
Renae's POV"June?" I responded, mind-linking her."Oh my goodness! Renae! Why did you do this to me? Did you do it because I snubbed you the other day? I did it because I was sad for you. I wasn't angry. I am sorry if I hurt you for not eating the breakfast you prepared… Eden and I went to pick herbs, we also picked on your behalf. I shared the meal with Eden when we returned… We have searched everywhere for you. Eden and I are so worried… Where are you? Please come home." June said and I remained quiet."Renae? Are you still angry? Are you there? Are you okay? Speak to me. Where are you? I will come pick you up," She said shakily."You were not there when I needed you the most. Haven't you heard? Or are you pretending not to know? My father came for me. He almost beat me to death… thanks to … my new master who saved me. June, let's assume we never had this conversation. I am dead," I responded."You're dead? New master!? What the heck are you talking about? Where are you!? I am comi
Jennifer's POVI stormed out of Logan's chambers seeing red. He had just confirmed all my suspicions. He had been avoiding me since the day he tried to have sex with me. I knew he lied that day that he had a stomach ache. Something transpired that day that I still didn't quite understand.Did the potency of the perfume I made from Renae's pheromones stop here? He was only drawn to my scent but he couldn't bring himself to mark or mate me.Did he find out that I wasn't the girl that saved him? Isn't it suspicious that the small doctor went missing around this time? Not that it mattered, I wanted her dead. But who am I kidding? I couldn't get her out of the picture because I needed her. I am scared now. Apart from the fact that the perfume seemed not to be as perfect as I had thought, I had almost exhausted it. I needed Renae's pheromones to make another one, at least it was potent enough to make him desire me. I will seduce him with the scent and make him lie with me.I had two opti
Jennifer's POV A pang of headache took hold of me as my eyes flipped open. I rolled to the other side of the bed and grunted as I tried to sit up. A glance revealed a familiar setting. I was in my room and I was on the bed, but I felt restless. My headache was bad and my whole body felt sore. My gaze was unstable too. I rose from the bed and sauntered towards the sofa. I did not know for how long I had slept, but a quick peek through the blinds revealed utter darkness. I shut my eyes trying to recollect the day's events. "Bring Prince Logan!" My voice rang in my ears and I remembered chanting such words! "Fuck me! I made a fool of myself!" I shut my eyes once more, and my memory returned in flashes. Another memory popped up; A nice-smelling man showed up from nowhere. He identified me as The Beta's daughter and laid me on his back. Thinking back now, I think the man looked vaguely familiar. But I just couldn't fix his identity. Other memories came in flashes too. They wer
Jenifer's POVCrouching into the cold floor, I drew Tanya's lifeless body into my embrace. I fell on my knees and cried my eyes out. How I liked Tanya.Suddenly, strong arms captured me from behind. I knew they were sent by my father. They pulled me up to my feet and held me in place.Tanya's body fell into the ground and my father's men came into view."Master has ordered that we take care of her body. He wants you to pull yourself together. You are not a spineless fool who cries because of the death of a nameless maid. These were master's words.""Are you not scared of serving my father? You will die a shameful death and no one will mourn your death!" I gritted.I shook myself out of their grips and took baby steps back to my room. I was deeply shaken by my father's action. But who am I kidding? I know about his brutality. I didn't just believe he would slash my favorite maid right in front of me. I thought he doted on me.One after the other, I peeled off the bloody clothes I had o
Rena's POVThe night became a time of the day that I looked forward to. At night, I am free from my disguise. No cloth tied around my stomach and my face was free from cover.Straddling my legs on either side of the bed, I shut my eyes, relishing the moment. A faint smile patted my lips as I remembered Logan's voice again. Smiling wide, I shut my eyes wishing that the Prince spoke again."But you wanted me to break the link earlier. You were alarmed that it could be traced back to you! Coward!" Ryn blasted."Ryn!!! Will you cut me some slacks? I just wanted to hear his voice again. There is no crime in that," I blasted too."Coward! He is ours. Go and claim our mate. Why will you die wanting him? Don't you feel the pull?""If avoiding him and languishing in pain will keep everyone safe, then I will do it a hundred times,""You are not keeping anybody safe by avoiding him. You are a coward," Ryn deadpanned."Shut up! What do you know!" I yelled and Ryn kept quiet."It's no use waitin
Two weeks LaterJennifer's POV"You are two weeks gone." The young physician who came to check me up declared with a mocking smile on her face.How could she? How could she mock the Alpha Prince's child? Angered by her mockery, she gave me enough reason to justify my intentions.A complicated smile broke out of my face as I lifted myself from my bed. With my knuckles tight, I rammed my fist into the physician's stomach, looking straight into her eyes.She gulped and groaned in pain as blood squirted from the hole I had made in her stomach. The shock, agony, and twisted sneer in her eyes brought me ecstasy.I drilled the knife deeper and wider into her, turning it roughly, disemboweling her. All the while, soft laughter, and warm tears filled my face as I watched the poor girl jerk in pain.She was too tiny to struggle with me. She coughed out blood and her eyes shone in horror as she draped her weak palms over my hand.Leaving my dirty secret with a bitch like her would one day cost
