Rain's POV. The air in Logan's office assails my bare ass, kissing it tentatively and tenderly. My lips are stuck between my teeth while I ponder on his words. A safe word? I never thought one day I'd be asked to choose one. Why does he want a safe word? My mind races zigzag as I feel Logan bring his palm slightly down my ass cheeks. The touch is as good as his lips on mine earlier. My body jolts when I feel him tilt down on my back and kiss my skin with delight.His fingers rendering soft circles on the crack of my ass. I shiver at the sweetness of the touch while also panicking at the thought of pains I might feel if he chooses to fuck me there."Choose a safe word for me, baby." Twice now, Logan has called me 'baby' and every time he calls me that, I feel a sensual warmth in my whole body. Does that mean he loves me? I've never heard him say it, and I want to hear him say those words. I want to hear him tell me he loves me just as much as I love him. I love him. I love Loga
Logan's POV. The morning sun is yet to reach its peak in the sky but Lester and I are already meandering around the woods, jogging. My beta is already a gasping mess behind me. I try not to laugh at him. Lester, though stronger than other ranking wolves in our pack, is too dramatic to be a beta.Sometimes, I wonder why I've not elected another beta to take his position. Just an hour jog around the bush and he's already screaming and grumbling. "Damn him for punishing me with an early-hour jog!" He curses, running in tow to catch up to me. "I can hear you, beta. Werewolves abilities." I chime in, my voice rhyming with that of the cawing and singing birds. "Fine. Let me say it out then. You're being an overbearing alpha this morning." I can feel his frustration bleeding through his words. Squelching to a halt briefly, I burst into a fit of laughter, doubling over. Beads of sweat trickle down my face when I lower my head. "Lester. Quit being dramatic! Let's go on." I tell him, tur
Logan's POV. Lester and I sit silently in my study, while Tiago places the map on the wall. I hold the moonhide, chomping on the bitter plant while I listen intently to Tiago's instruction. "Right here..." Tiago murmurs, using the marker, he circles a dot on the map. Then. "Is the secret passage that leads to Mr. Hanks's special room chamber.""He has a special room chamber?" Lester chimes in while stuffing a handful of popcorn into his mouth. I must say, he literally asked the same question I wanted to ask. "Apparently. However, only his trusted friends have access to this chamber." Tiago continues on with his tirade, circling more dots on the map. "Here is the underground tunnel. This is one of his secret treasure troves..." I make mental note of those troves because they're more important than anything else. I silently bank on the fact that I'll manage to see the moonstone once I break into that trove."But wait. There's a trove in the chamber beside the parlor. Do you perhap
Rain's POV. Since today, I've been so restless, especially after I eavesdropped on my father and Mrs. Sinai. It appears they both are working together. That means he knows about her powers.I had only come into the manor to get my morning supplies from the kitchen but as I was passing through the parlor, I overheard them together. "Are you certain no other witch can stand against you, Sinai?" "You know what it took for me to reach this peak, mayor. I made sure to kill as many witches as I could. My desire to be the powerful one came with a price." My body instantly sags at her words. That's when I realize that Mrs. Sinai isn't like Logan who is a mage. She's something more. I quickly sneak away from the archway when I hear the incoming footsteps. My heart was pounding as I understood that I live in a very secretive world. True to Tiago's words, there are certain things that I do not know. After gathering my supplies, I leave the manor house. I spend the rest of the day, reading
Rain's POV."Ouch!!" I grimace when Lester places me on the passenger seat and shuts the door. He doesn't even look apologetic for what they did to me. For kidnapping me. I swear to the heavens, I'm going to sue Logan for this. While Lester tries to round the car to the passenger side, I rush to see if I can open the door but that's futile. It's damn locked. I hit the widow, however, with just one strike of my knuckle against it, I feel pains ricochet throughout my whole body. Grimacing, I frown my face and grit my chattering teeth. "Are you okay, Luna?" Lester spits when he slides into the car and sees me. He grabs my hand immediately and starts massaging it."What did you just...call me?"Luna? What does that even mean? Eww, this guy acts so weird, I can't seem to wrap my head around it at all."I...uh...that's..." He stutters, trying to change the topic but my daggering eyes make him drone on. "It means. A beauty in distress." Hearing that, my whole face reddens like tomatoes.
Logan's POV. I take a huge sigh as I watch my beta throw Rain over his shoulder, carrying her out of the alley. Rain being stubborn, kicks and thrashes, demanding to be let down. Lester, however, doesn't yield to her antics. He obeys my orders. With them gone, I head back inside to tackle the business we came here for. I still drool with excitement over the search we are about to do at the manor. I need to find the moonstone. I know my father will be infinitely proud of me wherever he is, knowing I'm doing what's right. Unlike before, the bar is more noisy now, and the music is blasting harder than it was before.I weave my eyes around in search of Tiago and the hacker who brought us here in the first place.Hands in pockets, I stand by the aisle opposite the restroom as I monitor until someone bumps into me from behind. "Crap!" She hisses and when I turn I realize it's Kylie. "Huge man! Blocking the passageway is not a nice behavior..." She slurs, clucking her tongue as she appl
Logan’s POV. Everywhere is quiet, clouded by the stench of death. The fire crackles endlessly on the fireplace, the embers flaring mindlessly while Tiago and I stand still watching the two bodies lying still on the sofa. My teeth grit hard as does my heart. It’s taking everything in me not to shed a tear. I still cling to that hope that it’s not over yet.I can’t lose her. I can’t lose my mate and Luna. She means the world to me right now. However, that incessant voice in my head keeps telling me it’s going to happen all over again. I’m going to watch my mate die just like I watched my family die. Rage and hopelessness bubbles inside me, bearing me down. Turning in fury, I punch the wall of the fireplace and howl. No, goddess no! You just gave me my mate, I can’t lose her just yet. I can’t lose her! No matter how much I howl in my mind, nothing happens. The goddess stands above the sky, watching as the cold hands of death take the only woman that keeps me together. Shreddin
Rain's POV. I'm screaming at the top of my voice, thrashing against the seat belt as the car speeds toward the bridge.Don't move further. We're going to die. I'm going to die! The words rumble with an endless whirl in my mind. It's about to end. Everything I've lived for. My heart hammers against the wall of my chest, threatening to escape its confines. No matter how I scream or thrash my hands against the seat belt. No matter what I do, death still stands in wait for me. I watch with dreary eyes as the car speeds past the guardrail and we tumble into the river. Cold suffuses me. But what snuffs my life out of me more is the water. It's clawing fast around me, spelling death. I try to whoosh them out but it's nearly impossible.The moment I quit trying, darkness consumes me, taking me further into its abyss of doom. I'm doomed. _I gasp, propping up with force at the dream. My eyes whip open and I'm greeted by the harsh morning sunlight. "Eww," Hissing, I bash my eyes close
