Logan “Who's over there?” I called out after sensing the sweet scent of a she-wolf honey-smelling pheromones and a familiar masculine sweat screeching into the air from where I stood while admiring the beautiful scenery of the pack’s garden. The strong odor mixed with the aromatic fragrance of the different planted flowers. However, one thing was cleared, judging by my Alpha instinct— something was off. …That was certainly Brandon's scent. But the she-wolf fragrance belongs to whom? Could that be his mate? Moreover, I haven't even set my eyes on his mate ever since he informed the council that he had found his missing rib— neither have he introduced the she-wolf who would rule along with him to me or the pack. Sensing I couldn't stay still and ignore the ominous feeling and silence that followed, I walked away from where I stood, following the stench of the sweat and the she-wolf pheromones sizzling into the breezy air. “Father?” A voice called, making me stop on my tra
Logan I noticed Brandon's hesitation for a while, his mind obviously running wild with different thoughts– judging from the furrowed countenance on his face… before he finally spoke up. “Do you think the girl would survive it?” He asked, his voice croaked while he repeatedly smoothed the edge of his lips with his right palm. “Well, the pack's prison isn't as easy as killing a rogue,” I replied in sarcasm. Even if the little one had killed a rogue, considering her deviant circumstances, the pack prison might not have been as easy as anyone would have thought. Subsequently, Brandon mumbled a soft word which I clearly heard through the silence of the air. “I bet she won't survive it” His words suddenly fueled my curiosity thus making me ask the inevitable question. “Is she one of your acquaintances?” “No!” Brandon snapped almost immediately, his eyes bulging widely through the dark. “She'd never be” “I see” I breathed out. I had initially thought he was the type to worry
Elena I guess I was Crystal's pawn all along. Whereas what we werewolves have been taught was that we must be the ones to have authority over our wolf and not otherwise. While fulfilling this hectic task, is also another utmost way of quenching the aggressive thirst of some wolves who wish to run wild and ultimately berserk away from their fellow kind. Thus causing harm to the society as a whole. We were also taught that curtailing our wolf motives with the action of taking over their mind would further be of great importance to the pack and ourselves. But too bad, none was able to be used against Crystal. …She’s always faster and quicker to make decisions than I am. And frantically, never for once have I infiltrated into her mind as it was always well guarded like a metal gate. And now, once again since she has appeared… I was left alone to handle yet another messy situation all by myself. Darn Crystal! Suddenly, everyone, including me, turned to look at the humid
Logan “My Alpha,” Max, my Gamma called, his expression clouded with longness and anxiety. “Do you really have to go at such extreme length?” My face darkened with fury, almost flaring up to rebuke his laziness. But then, thinking on the other side, I think I could understand his heartfelt concerns. However, granting his request since I've declared my impromptu journey to the north part of the country— the pack prison, can only be a nightmare that would never be real. My mind has been made up and that's it. “It's part of my duty. So, pack up and don't even attempt to drag down the journey,” I stressed in my warning before looking away from his sluggishness and fixating my attention on the letter I was writing behind for Elder Gerald. I have chosen this path not for myself or my workaholic energy, but for the greatness of the pack. For me not to defy the command and authority that my responsibilities as the ultimate Alpha held. How I wish everyone else, including Max, could
Logan “You mean right away?!” Max exclaimed, his shoulder dropping like he had encountered a horror. “Yes,” I simply nodded before walking out of the room, not sparing a glance at the expression that would probably be smacked on his face. I had made up my mind and yes… that's it. Even if it's going to cost me my happiness, my desire, and my wolf's lust. Even if it's going to be getting rid of the boggling image of the one-night fling off my mind. She would be nothing but a hindrance to my duty’... That's what I had repeatedly told myself whenever the image of the beautiful glinting silver eyes of the unknown girl envisioned my mind. I need no more considering the large numbers of the ‘chamber girls’ available to quench my sexual thirst. But again, I have never felt satisfied as I did on the memorable crescent moon night. Hence, making my heart itched for the unknown girl but then again, I tightened my heart against the idea of whiffing through her fragrance to find what and wh
Elena “What crap are you saying?” The grumpy warrior amongst the rest charged at Maddie who had stopped convulsing on the ground but remained still after her absurd declaration. “Happy?” He raised a menacing brow at me before turning away and scrunched down to Maddie's height and grabbed her arm. “Are you saying she's not a Sybil, like yourself” Immediately after the warrior's utterance, Maddie's groan which I sensed to be anger, reverberated through the damped place, her distressed face scowling at the grumpy warrior who retorted with the same disgusted look. “Oh, I forgot for a while that you hate being called that” he smirked, his face obviously showing he was making a mockery of her. Just as I was about to speak up against the evident insolence. His voice filled with mockery of Maddie once again raised against mine. “Oh, what was that again?” He gently rubbed his temple, a sneering smile at the edge of his lips. “Yes!... Divine” he suddenly snapped, making me flinch in f
Elena “Thanks” I mumbled barely above a whisper, knowing fully that he heard what I had said. My head gently resting on his chest as he walked down the dark tunnel.“I should be the one to apologize,” he simply replied. Though I noticed how forced he was to say those words. So, I decided to innocently play along. “Apologize for what?” I raised my head up to look into his face. My mind filled with a lot of imagination on how he got the scar on his other eyes thus making his handsome face to be roughly stitched up. “You don't know?” He looked down at my face but was also quick to look away, his gaze fixated on the dark lane ahead of us. “Hmm. I don't” I nodded, my eyes scanning through the unprofessional stitches on his other eyes. I bet he noticed the lingering gaze on his face but chose not to speak and let me look for how long I wanted. How painful it must have been to endure through the process. The scar, the pain, and everything else he must have to go through before accepting
Logan “No, you can't, my Alpha!” Silas yelled after me, his steps hastening to meet up with mine. “You have to rest before anything else considering the long journey you have just gone through” His voice, laced with thick admonishment, resonated into the air. Well, it wasn't surprising to see how adamant he was despite his two’ft sturdy legs that aren't putting an effort in his agility to meet up with my walks. I chuckled softly before turning back to face him the moment he stopped after running out of his breath. His robust belly panting heavily as he exhales. I held in the laughter erupting inside me as I watched him struggle to get his hitched breath back in pace.“You really need to burn down a lot of pounds, Silas,” I warned, my tone humble, but my eyes held a strong admonishment against how chubby he was fastly becoming over the space— As a warrior that he is. “I guess I have been enjoying the peace too much” he chuckled, his eyes creasing in excitement. He raised, his bel
Logan A wide grin spread across my face as I chopped the deer meat into pieces. I couldn't help but think of the girl— Elena. As much as I wished to get her image off my mind.Her pretty brow that stood right above… those silver eyes, her silky brown hair and above all— her beautiful smile. They can't just make their way out of my head.I found the odd sensation running through my veins quite weird. But what's even weirder is the excitement settling inside me as I anticipated taking the food to her.“Perfect!” I mumbled softly in satisfaction, my gaze fixated on the savory sight before me.I had made a recovery meal for her dinner and I made sure everything was perfect. I've made one of the rich flavoured meals in the country— venison parmesan.Shortly after I was done with placing the plate on the steel tray, I glanced around the kitchen, my eyes scanning over the cabinet to be sure nothing was left behind. Then, I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety as I se
Elena “My heart can't bear to see you in pain.” He said. His words reverberated through my ears. Could he be kidding me right now?“I know it might seem ridiculous to you, but that's just the truth,” he added, his voice fetching me out of the shock he had dipped me in. He meant the ridiculous word— Or was he just expressing his personality at his pleasure?… At the risk of that expensive joke.Then he must be implying that's just his personality to everyone?... Full of care while his heart can't also bear to see any members in pain.That was so passionate about him. I internally moaned at the warmth in his eyes as he glanced into mine. “Then let me do it since you can't,” I declared, stretching out my palm for him to put the little container on it.“No, I can't watch it. It's going to sting” he said, his eyes clouded with longness as they darted down to the container.Oh no. I rolled my eyes.Immediately, he snapped the container away with one of his legs. I gasped on seeing this r
Elena I was wrong all along. It greatly sucks to realize my heart was pounding in fear for nothing… all this while. He is Edgar— a warlord and not the Alpha King!My heart leaped joyfully to believe the fact that he wasn't my ex-mate father. That I hadn't crossed the forbidden line… that I won't be scorned as a whore or something more.To ease my pounding mind, I needed a clarification. A word to set my heart at peace. I asked for confirmation and yes, he affirmed my suspicion. His words were firm and filled with honesty as that expression matched with mine. A glint sparkled up in his eyes when he looked into mine. The reflection of myself revealed inside his eyes. I was only worked up for nothing.Thank goodness, the warrior barged in at that moment. If not l, I'd have spilled what I shouldn't have. Strangely, without knowing how we picked up at the friendly race, we talked at length. I let out my emotions for him to feel. Though, I know he probably won't have an idea of the pain
Logan “To what?” The girl exclaimed, her face brimming with a scowl.“To clean you up, of course,” I declared, before turning away and walked out of the room.Leaving her behind to sort out whatever could be running through her head. Though I wonder what she might have interpreted my word as when she suddenly scowled— More in shock.Well, I mean nothing more than getting a bowl filled with clean, warm water and a neat towel to mop off the blood on her body. Some ointment would also do— to put on her bruises and her wounded shoulder, which is yet to fully heal up.If anything else… perhaps, after she's fully healed. Storming out of the interrogation yard, I briskly looked around the quiet space with only the melodic voices of birds chirping while some squirted away the moment I took a step out of the gate. Edgar.Silas.I need to look for those two. I mumbled to myself as I walked away to the only place settling inside my head— That's where the two would probably be.In no moment, I
Logan What would become of me if whom my heart quivers for turns out to be scared of the heavy title I had on me?No, I can't let that happen. The thought itself weighed down, and a heavy thud sank my belly. If she's more comfortable with warlord Edgar, then I'd be one. I straightened up my shoulder, and swallowed hard before leaning forward to cup her leaned cheeks with my palm.I need to look as natural as possible. I mumbled to myself as those eyes fixated on me were so desperate for me to speak up.“Is that what you thought? That I am the Alpha King” I chuckled softly.Her brow twitched oddly like she was slowly being thrown out of bewilderment. “Aren't you?” “No, I'm not” I admitted though my words were false. Yet, my voice was firm and undeniable as I strained my gaze not to quiver.Well, I think Edgar also isn't bad to bear till she'd be able to handle the weight of my title with me. Immediately, she exhaled sharply in one fast breath. Her shoulder awkwardly dropped befor
LoganThe young warrior wanted to hold onto my hands as they gripped his collar firmly but with a pound of my Alpha authority, his hands voluntarily jerked down despite his will to break free. He choked after a few coughs that sent his face reddening in pain as the course wafted over his face. He faintly heaved for breath through his slightly agaped lips. But I was less burdened by the pain my authority might be causing down his throat.How dare him? Even if he was blind. Still, he should know which line to cross and the one that's forbidden to trespass— And he wasn't even blind. I clenched my jaw tightly, resisting myself from doing the worst as my gaze was fixated on the dying boy. Enjoying every bit of the punishment I was inflicting on him. Edgar? I internally rolled my eyes at the reason for his stupidity.Seems the young lads here are quite undisciplined. I smiled, the thought of when I was about his training age flashing into my head. Then, I'll bestow upon him the grace of
Logan ‘Just that?’ I raised a brow at the simplicity of what's required of us to help the girl.‘I guess so’ Thane growled in response.…After my wolf had suggested the only resolution we could do to be of assistance to the unconscious girl, he immediately transformed— shifting back to myself. ‘Focus only on her, Logan’ Thane purred as he settled at the back of my head.Of course, she's now a part of me.I grunted softly when I felt my bare feet melt on the cold ground. Tilting my head downward on my body, I scowled at the shredded pieces of the robe that lingered on my arm and waist.Can Thane ever cease not to cause trouble… even if it's just for a day? Now, I'm left naked because of his impatience and stubborn agility.With a deep sigh, I walked over to the closet— where Edgar had initially brought out the white robe, which was now torn. I leaned forward and grabbed the little knob of the closet before tilting it open while the creaking sound swiftly filled the room before relaps
Elena“Open up, little one!” I heard a masculine voice called out, the huskiness resonating deep inside my ears.…The man from Crescent Moon Night? My ears twitched at the sense of who possessed the low, husky voice. A shiver scurried down my spine as the realization sank inside my belly— the man I had met in the hallway… the feared and respected Alpha King whose name is on every werewolf's lips, from the whispers of the young to the respectful murmurs of the elders in the pack. Even the Wolf Country as a whole. My body shuddered as if an electrifying current gripped me. The thought alone is absurd, almost jolting my senses out of my limp body. …If the man from Crescent Moon Night— the same man I had a one-night stand with… is the Alpha King. Then, does that mean I slept with my mate's father?Ex-mate, actually. My subconscious snapped at me for briefly referring to Brandon as my mate. Nevertheless, this can't be true. No! It mustn't be. What would the world think of me?…Won't I
Logan WHAT!! I exclaimed in shock. My body shuddered as if an electrifying sensation sprinted through my veins right that moment— as the understanding of what he had said he did to the girl is quite well known to the both of us. No, I needed to confirm. This must be one of Thane's usual pranks to throw me off balance. ‘So, are you saying she's… I mean you just said you imprinted on her that night.’ I blinked my eyes repeatedly, trying to figure my way into Thane's mind. But it was to no avail. …He totally blocked me off his mind. ‘A joke, right?’ I mentally raised my brow at the audacity. However, He was stiffened as a log of wood— With no sense of remorse or sorriness for the shocking revelation he had just dumped on my face like he didn't care what effect this would have on us. ‘Wait’ I snapped, when an odd realization settled inside my head, and Thane's attention immediately fixated on mine. ‘Was that the reason why I found it hard to get her out of my head since all thi
