Jennifer's POV Slowly, the horse came to a halt. I sighed in relief and groaned in pain. My body was aching badly, it was a long trip and the rigor was too much for me. The horse rider pulled out my covering. He dismounted and helped me down carefully. He helped me balance on my feet but I jerked his hand away. My eyes dazzled as they adjusted to the light. Slowly, I took in my surroundings. The area was unfamiliar and the terrain was rugged. We were definitely out of the Moonlight Pack, I thought, still looking around. A hut stood afar and instinctively, I knew that it was our destination. "This way, my lady," the horse rider said, pointing in the direction of the hut. I walked up to him and slapped him hard on the face. "How dare you lay your hands on me! You filthy guard!" I yelled and he bowed before me. "My lady… I am sorry," he muttered and I walked away from him. He soon caught up with me leading the way. Where the heck is this place? If Father brought me all the way ou
Logan's POVSeeing Beta Peter's men, my blood boiled. But I ran towards them playing along. I needed to infiltrate them to know what they were up to.As I rushed towards them, I mind-linked my father."Beta Peter was behind the princess poisoning, he deceived Alpha Noel into it. It was Beta Peter who shot Alpha Noel… You should know his motive, it's a full-fledged war where he would be able to take over the throne. I saw it with my own two eyes, his men were killing our men and the Red Moon soldiers too!" I said earnestly. But Father did not seem surprised; rather he asked."Good, son. Good…. How is Noel doing now? Tell him to mind link his men, most especially his army Commandant. If they realize that he is alive they will stop the attack,""I am not with him right now. He fell unconscious a while ago… moreover, he is still too weak to make such communication.""What!? I told you to stay away from this! Escape with Noel!" Father thundered."Escape to where!? The whole Pack is in chao
Logan's POV Father! I yelled continuously but it was all silent and still. Fear gripped my heart and I called out repeatedly. No way! Father can't die on me! My Alpha! I yelled but there was no response. It was still just like it was when I tried to link up with Renae. I shivered with fear. I tightened my grip on the hilt of my sword and launched at the intruders, striking them down blindly. I soon realized that it was a useless move. Despite my fury, I couldn't conquer them. They were very fierce and I was outnumbered. Looking around, Beta Peter's men had vanished. They had left me to face the Intruders alone. It must be their strategy to make my death look natural. The intruders must have identified me as the Prince. They attacked me on every side and I fought hard for my life. I knew I wasn't going to win the fight even before I started. "Alpha Noel is alive!" I yelled and they stopped. They looked at each other and lowered their weapons. Yes, I had to use my last card. It
Logan's POV "Can they be trusted? He claimed that he hid our Alpha but it's all a lie…" one of the soldiers said. "The lady seemed to be making sense… she can't lie against her own father….I was wondering why he killed his Alpha. I had thought he came to help him to withstand us at the garrison," another soldier said. "What are you talking about?" Another asked. "Beta Peter, the lady's father. He made it look like it was one of our soldiers, but we were ordered to capture Alpha Lucas alive. And I saw it clearly, it was Beta Peter that slashed Alpha Lucas." Another soldier responded and I halted. I jerked my head sideways and grappled his collar. "What did you say!?" I screamed, breathing heavily. A few soldiers charged towards me but the one I held raised his hand to stop them. "What can you do? Your father's Beta killed him," he mocked and punched my face. I charged backward. My grip loosened and I fell to the ground. He rushed at me and kicked me repeatedly. I cried loud, g
Logan's POV"Hmmm…" I moaned softly, moving my hand to touch my head. It hurt badly and I felt a wetness at the back of my head. My arms fell back by my side and I tried to remember all that had happened. Slowly, my memories returned in flashes and I flung my eyes open.Where am I?Looking around, nothing looked familiar. The room was moderately lit and there was no one in sight. I checked my limbs and they were not restrained, I was free.I tried to lift up my body then I felt a dent on one side of the bed. Turning to take a look, I realized that it was Jennifer.She was fast asleep. She was sitting on a stool and her head was hanging on the bed beside me.Slowly, I sat up on the bed resting my back on the headboard. I stared down at Jennifer and I clenched my fists.Thinking back about all that has happened, I did not know what to do with her. When everyone was running for safety, she went out of her way to search for me. She burst into an army to save me. Her actions melted my co
Lian's POVWith tears in my eyes, I peeped through the door. My mother was lying beside my father's body, crying like a baby."My Alpha! My Alpha!! My Alpha!!!" She wailed and I couldn't watch anymore.Turning away from the door, I wept. But through my cloudy vision, I saw someone approaching, it was Beta Peter. It was sudden as I wasn't expecting to see him. My heart skipped a beat and I flinched. But I quickly bowed in greetings to cover up my fear. Logan told me not to act up… he must not suspect my apprehension."I am sorry, I couldn't save Alpha Lucas. I got to him late," he said, patting my shoulders.My shoulders went stiff but I still bowed my head. Normally as a Princess, I only bowed to my parents and the Prince but this time it seemed to be a good cover."Have you heard from Prince Logan? I can't seem to get a hold of him," he asked and I clenched my fists. "No, I haven't heard from him… I am afraid as it is. The battle ranges outside and my brother is nowhere to be found
Logan's POV"Guard Luna Nina and the Princess. Fix them in the same room where Alpha Luca's body is laid. Ensure their safety. I am on my way. Beware of other soldiers, especially Beta Peter and his men," I mind linked some of my trusted men.The path before me was murky. I just lost my father, the Alpha of Moonlight Pack, and guess what? He was killed by his Beta; the father of the woman who would be my Luna.I didn't love her and she didn't love me either. But I am stuck with her, she is with my child, and… she betrayed her father to save me…I had a pregnant mate. But I didn't recognize her until she was caught up in the skirmishes between my father-in-law and his daughter; my soon-to-be-Luna.I didn't know if Renae was dead or alive. I had lost the link we shared but I didn't lose hope. I will find her, dead or alive. All I prayed and desired was that the Moon Goddess keep her alive till I found her."Giddy up!" I yelled, pulling the reins of the horse harder. All other horse ride
Jennifer's POVMy heart beat faster as we crossed the garrison and rode into the Moonlight Pack. The damage done by the Red Moon soldiers who had attacked us stood out like sand dunes. As we rode past the ruins, dismembered bodies lay here and there on the road, they were the bodies of fallen soldiers. Some had even shifted before they were killed. The bulky mass of dead wolves lay strewn on the floor and the whole place stank.It broke my heart to think that my father orchestrated it all. My escape from my comfort zone wasn't wasted. I couldn't salvage much, but I was able to save the Prince… and now he is mine. My joy was short-lived as we rode towards the palace. Although I saved the Prince, I betrayed my father… and blood is thicker than water.I knew that my father was trapped in the palace like a mouse. If I had my way, I would pull him out unstretched. What child would watch her father being killed in her presence? Having seen the ruins, I knew that Logan wouldn't spare my fa
