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
Logan's POV "My Prince… Do you even love me?" Jennifer muttered into my chest. "You almost struck my father dead! … Right under my nose… You said you forgave me but… but you killed my father!" She shuddered. "Yes, you killed him! Your Alpha friend here shot the arrow. Weren't you relieved that he finished what you started!?" Jennifer screamed, tearing up heavily. I was thrown into a rollercoaster of emotion. Fury, guilt, pity, and hatred slitted through my heart and I shook slightly, trying to contain all that I was feeling. I felt like stifling the life out of her, making her pay for her father's sins. But what did I do? I moved my palms from the small of her back up to her shoulders. Gripping her shoulders tightly, I pulled her out of my chest. "You should be grateful that I spared your life! You're a traitor's daughter!" I gritted, hatred beaming from my eyes. "Just kill me… kill me…" Jennifer screamed brokenly and peeped behind to look at her father's body. Guilt washed ov
Logan's POV It was a red-letter day in the Moonlight Pack. Many lives were sacrificed but we rooted out the traitor and conquered him and his men. Beta Peter had grown far and wide and it was certain that we might not have rooted out all his men, but I was certain that we had shaken their core. After Alpha Noel was sent out by Lian. I sat my mother down and explained all that happened with Renae and Jennifer. Mother blamed herself for imposing on me that I marry Jennifer. "I thought she was innocent and sweet," she muttered. I also explained all of Beta Peter's plot and how he was caught in his trap. I emphasized how Jennifer betrayed her father to save me. I had no choice since I accepted her, I wanted my mother to accept her back, but all I saw was hatred looming in the corners of her eyes. My mother and Lian cried their eyes out. I led them out of the room where my father was laid and fixed them in another room. I lingered around them until they fell asleep. I tightened the
5 YEARS LATER Twilight Pack June's POV It's been a busy week. Renae and I had been busy making tonics and herbal supplements for the upcoming event. It was Alpha Ted's order It was one of a kind. I had never witnessed a big event of such in the past five years since we had been absorbed by the Twilight Pack. It's been crazy coping with the Pack's responsibility as a maid, taking care of Renae's pups, and keeping an eye on Renae. That night, five years ago we were attacked during our escape from Moonlight Pack. Renae fell off the hill and I was knocked out. When I regained consciousness, the attacker was gone and I was all alone. I screamed out my lungs, calling out to Renae but no one responded. I scampered around and returned to the spot where Renae was before I was knocked out. My heart skipped a beat as I saw blood stains on the floor and some on the grass. I followed the trail and it led to the edge of a cliff. Given the amount of blood, I knew that she wasn't slain and
Logan's POVI didn't mourn Jennifer's death but a deep sense of sadness fell over me. Perhaps, she meant something to me after all. Memories of the time we spent together as children flooded my mind every day, leaving me sick and sad.Her delusion and greed were her doom. Yes, we were playmates and we were friends because her father was my father's Beta. But that was all. I never saw her as a lover and I never made such inclinations towards her. Thinking back now, I realized that there were signs that she had fallen for me, she did not hide it, but I was too busy and insensitive to take notice.I was always away from the Packhouse and when I returned, I hardly saw her.Flashes of the moment she walked into the cave where Renae saved me, posing as my savior flooded my sight. I shut my eyes as I remembered how I tried to love her despite having feelings for the small doctor.Sometimes we determine our fate and sometimes what will be will be irrespective of our determination. It all de
Logan's POVI lost communication with almost everyone as we sped back to the palace. I mind-linked my mother, Lian and Renae but they didn't respond. Tera, my guard didn't respond either. Fear gripped my heart and like a lunatic, I tore through the wild leaving my men behind.I broke into the palace and I saw the ruins. The first place on my mind was my mother's chambers. My men had caught up with me and they sprinted behind me.A small group of people came into view as I got closer to my mother's chambers. Drawing nearer, I realized that it was Jennifer and her men.I didn't know if she was just going in or if she was done with my family already. Her sword was bloody and I fretted.Hatred and disdain shone in her eyes as she saw me. She snarled and at the swipe of her hand, a few of her men charged into my mother's chambers while she led the remaining men towards us.Now, I had my answer, she sent her men in because she hadn't dealt with those inside. With renewed spirits, I gave
Logan's POV At this point, I could only pray that things worked out as planned and nothing would boomerang on us. After hearing from Lian, I realized that my plan just failed woefully. I should have seen into Jennifer's mind. But who knew what the psychopath was planning? All my focus was on saving Renae and our pups. I should have known that Jennifer wouldn't just go all the way out to attack only Renae. Since I knew that she had a grander plan, I should have seen it happening. Well, I am out here and I can't be there either. I just have to trust my men. I was glad that I left Tera back at the palace. He wanted to come help me out here but I told him to stay back. "Tera, listen and listen carefully. The palace has been infiltrated…" I mind-linked him and told him the situation. I gave him the order to act as he deemed fit. When he told me that Alpha Noel was around, I felt at ease. I knew there wouldn't be any problem and I could concentrate on the deal before me out here. The
Jennifer's POVI sat in my facade waiting for the best news ever. I pushed the small table in front of me out of the way and rose to my feet to make my declarations."Tonight, the cup of their sins is full and I, Jennifer Tower, will avenge the blood of my father and his men on the royal family of the Moonlight Pack. I will destroy the royal family and even in death, Logan will realize the anger of a woman deprived of her love!" Of course no one could see me and one one cared to listen but it was a matter of time, tonight! I sipped from the whiskey in my hand before pouring libation to the death. Those that were long gone and those who were surely going to die tonight.I resumed my seat, waiting for the news. Then Renae came to my heart. Oh! Poor Renae.I knew Renae was obedient and easy going but her virtues won't help her this time.She had later sent a letter to me telling me that she was leaving the pack with her pups just like I had ordered.Good! Good! Good! It was a nice move
June's POVRenae had been sleeping all day long. If she hadn't resolved her issue with Alpha Logan I would have thought she was sleeping because of her anxiety.I was glad when she told me that she had told Logan about Jennifer's threat. I felt a huge lump fall off my neck. When Alpha Logan summoned me the previous day, I was too overwhelmed to talk. Moreover, I always like to respect Renae's opinion. Although in this case I knew that delay might be dangerous, I still waited for her and I was glad that she did the right thing.She told Logan and she even devised a means to outsmart Jennifer.Logan accepted her plans but felt it was too risky. He was all lovey dovey, saying he couldn't risk the life of his mate. After much thought he came up with another plan that seemed less risky.We were at the Queen mother's chambers with about three maids. All other maids were locked out and no one knew that we were there except those of us that were inside.We were all grounded at the Queen moth
Lian's POV I was sitting in front of my chambers thinking about everything that had happened recently. Renae's return was indeed a blessing, but it had made Jennifer bring out her claws. I had decided to spend more time in my chambers than at Renae's or mother's chambers. My chambers gave me a better view of Jennifer's chambers. I had men who were watching over her, but I felt better spying on her too. I need a break tonight. I would go on my hunting trip. And I just have a feeling that it would be a big one. I was going to catch a big game. "Targon, prepare my full hunting gear, we are going to the hunting range tonight," I said to my guard. "You mean we? Am I going with you?" Targon asked. "Yes, tonight," "On it, my princess," Targon said and vanished out of sight. What a good boy he had been. I lay down on the sofa on my porch, trying to catch some sleep before the night fell. I had hardly closed my eyes when my guards announced. "Alpha Noel has arrived!" "Alpha Noel!? Oh
Logan's POV I sat in my office with a heavy heart. Last night, Lian told me about the strange man she encountered in the palace who was disguised as one of the soldiers. The alarming part was that he varnished around Jennifer's chambers. This just confirmed my assertions about strange men visiting Jennifer's chambers in disguise. Last night, Renae didn't sleep well. Her sleep was riotous, she tossed her body here and there, muttering in her sleep. Her murmurings were deep reflections on how she met me by chance and fell in love with me. I couldn't help but smile. The other part was scary. They were reflections on what transpired between her and Jennifer at Eden's grave. My knuckles turned white and I held her in my arms all through the night. Jennifer was a piece of trash to me. It takes me nothing to chop off her head. But I need a reason big enough to justify such action, otherwise I might live with the guilt for the rest of my life. I needed to catch her red-handed. But she
Logan's POV I left my office later than expected. I had some files to deal with and other unexpected functions came up too. After dealing with them, I got down to the training ground to see my men. They had retired to refresh and after that, another round of training would come up. Seeing that all was going on as expected, I made my way down to my mother's chambers, Renae on my mind all the way. The guards announced my presence as I appeared and without wasting time, I burst in. "Why are you just coming now?" Lian questioned. She was hanging around the porch, possibly waiting for me. I ignored her and walked in. I met my mother standing by the window. She was pacing to and fro and I knew she was also waiting for me. "Good day, mother," I greeted and bowed. "It's a good day indeed, son." Mother gave me a demeaning look and walked away. June was not around either so I asked a maid to show me the room where Renae was staying. She wasn't in the room where I met them during the
Lian's POV "You worry too much, Renae. You were all over the place this morning… who knew this was… You almost lost it. You should be more careful henceforth," June reprimanded Renae and I stepped on her toes as I conjured words to lighten the mood. Renae wasn't looking happy about the news. "Those little soldiers are way too big for me. I can't wait to hold a tiny version of myself, cuddling and rocking them," I said as I held Renae's pale hands. "Congratulations Renae. Thank you for bringing goodness to the life of my son," My mother said with a smiling face. "Thank you, Mother," Renae replied to Mother and looked around for her husband. The royal physician had Just confirmed that Renae was a few weeks gone. She had fainted when she was on her way back from the Law School. At first, we thought it was just exhaustion, but when the royal physician examined her he confirmed that she was pregnant. My mother summoned Logan immediately, and when he came over we broke the news to hi
