~LOGAN~I couldn't understand why I felt like I shouldn't be hugging Kiara in front of Amber. I couldn't hug Kiara back, and I couldn't stop staring at Amber. I couldn't see through her eyes and I wondered what was going on in her mind. Well, I'm sure she doesn't care. Besides, she has a boyfriend.As I was going to the council meeting, my mind flashed to the incident that happened after meeting with Mr. Scott. I just couldn't explain what that strange thing was. Is it an animal or a human? It looks like both and that makes it surreal. I wish I had taken a picture of it, so that I will take it to Theodore. I believe he will know what it is. I don't know why I felt that the thing was interested in Amber. It didn't care about me at all. It wanted Amber. Probably want her dead. This is more reason I should look into that strange thing. Though it is dead, there could be others like it out there. If there's any, it could mean that Amber's life is in danger. I need to find out what that th
~AMBER~I was glad that Alpha Leonard didn't ask anymore questions. It was feeling hot in there already. All I wanted was to be out of there. Those questions kept bringing the painful memories I've wanted to bury deep down in my heart. The part where I said that I love Logan. I hate to admit the fact that I still feel that way. After the dinner was over, Logan was trying to talk to me but I wasn't in the mood to talk. I just want to leave this pack house. I was glad when Alpha Leonard called him to his office. I just don't know why Luna Azura and Alpha Leonard are so interested in knowing why Logan and I broke up. Hasn't he moved on and has taken Kiara as his Luna? Even if they find out the real reason why we broke up. It's not like Logan and I are going to get back together.Luna Azura took me to her room. She said that we need to talk. I saw the way Kiara was glaring at me when we were leaving the dining room. I wonder what her problem is. I can't remember the last time I was in L
~LOGAN~“You are making me confused, dad. Can you please tell me why I need Amber as my Luna, and why her life will be in danger?" I asked curiously.“I can't tell you now. I will tell you once I gather the necessary information. Everything is not clear yet, Logan, but we still need to be careful. Just do as I said. Win Amber back, and be there to always protect her," dad said. He sounds as if Amber's life will be in great danger. Could it be that I wasn't wrong when I thought that strange thing we encountered was so interested in Amber. The thing wants to kill her. Amber's life is already in danger. Even if dad doesn't say it, I'm ready to protect Amber. The thought of losing her makes me so scared. Even though I kept lying to myself, I know that I still love Amber. I just don't want to accept it, because I felt like I'm being stupid for still loving her despite what she did. “Promise me you will protect her." Dad added as he stared directly into my eyes.“I will protect her dad. I
~AMBER~I quickly closed the door and lean on it. I placed my palm on my chest. I just can't believe that my heart is beating faster. Am I fucking feeling this way because Logan said goodnight?Shit! That can't be. What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be feeling this way. Not at all. I even stood there staring at him as a dumbass when he said that. Gosh! That was so embarrassing. I just don't get why Luna Azura asked Logan to drive me home when the pack's drivers are there. Now, look at how I embarrassed myself.No need of being embarrassed. There's nothing to be embrassed of. I was simply shocked that Logan said goodnight to me. I didn't expect him to do so. I left the door and walked to the sofa as I sat on it. I wonder where dad is. And why the door opened. Why did Logan say goodnight to me as if he cares? Why did he make my heart race and make me remember the time we were still together?“Logan loves you Amber, just give him a chance." Jake's words rang in my head. That was what he w
~LOGAN~I didn't know when those words escaped my lips, and it's already too late to take them back. Amber heard them loud and clear. I admit that I'm worried about Amber especially after what dad said last night about enemies being everywhere and also that strange thing which seemed interested in her, but I don't want her to fucking know that I'm worried about her. Why didn't I fucking stop myself from saying out those words.She was staring at me. I'm sure she's shocked to hear those words from me. She didn't expect them from me. “Ahmm, what I mean is that… ehmm… if something happens to you, it's going to affect my parents. They can't afford to lose you, especially my mum. So, you need to be careful." Yeah, I know. I know that what I just said right now sounds stupid, because everything is clear. I said that I can't afford to lose Amber, not that my parents can't afford to lose Amber. Fuck! that was the only thing I could think of to say. I just don't want her to think that I'm wo
~AMBER~I stare at the lunch box Luna Azura packed for Logan and I, contemplating on what to do. I don't get why she packed the food in the same box. Wait… is this her way to…I scoffed. This won't work. ‘Sorry Luna, but I ain't getting back with your asshole son.’I already have lunch plans with Liam. Even if I don't, I ain't eating lunch with Logan. Never! I would rather eat lunch with a playboy like Alpha Maximus than to eat with Logan. Of course I know who Alpha Maximus is. He's a charmer and a playboy, so good at breaking hearts. Any woman could fall for him, but certainly not me. He's handsome and fun to be with. You can't even resist smiling when you are with him, but he's not my type. I don't think any man could take Logan's place in my heart or make me feel the way he made me feel. Wait…. What am I saying? No, no… Logan has no place in my heart. I have already forgotten about him, and I have already moved on. He's nothing to me now. Fuck! I'm lying, and I fucking hate the
~AMBER~I quickly glanced at him. “You know what they are?"“Ahh.. yes… no… I mean, not exactly. Your description sounds like what I've read in a book. But I don't think it is what I've seen. It was just a fantasy. I mean, what I read was just a fantasy. It wasn't real." Liam replied.“Oh… that's it.” I muttered, feeling a bit disappointed. I thought I would get a lead to what that thing was. “Well, Logan is trying to find out what it is."“I hope he does. Amber, promise me you are going to be careful from now on. You nearly escaped death, and I don't know what to feel right now. But I know I'm scared of losing you," Kate said with a worried tone.“I promise to be careful, Kate. You are not going to lose me. Okay." I assured her with a smile. I stare at Liam. He seems spaced out. He looks like someone in deep thought.“Liam?" I called. He flinched a bit before paying attention to me. I was right, he looked spaced out. “Are you okay?"“Yeah…. I'm fine." He replied and smiled faintly. “
~LOGAN~So, the lunch plans she said she has was with her boyfriend and not fucking with me. I was thinking we would eat lunch together since mum packed lunch for us in one box. I saw when she left. Guess, she has gone to have lunch with her boyfriend. I thought I was wrong to think that the guy wasn't her boyfriend, but it seems I wasn't. She has really moved on.She doesn't even have a good taste. How can she fucking replace me with that guy? He's fucking not handsome. Did she think that going out for lunch with her boyfriend is romantic? That's fucking an old school style.Fuck! I am not jealous. I refuse to be! I'm fucking okay. I don't care about what she does with her life or who she goes out with!I closed my laptop in anger. Fuck! I care. I fucking care! And I fucking hate it!I ran my palm through my face and rested my back on my seat.I just can't concentrate on anything. I can't even get myself to work. Amber is seriously messing with my head. I scoffed as I stared at the
Zendaya's point of view I didn't know it would be so painful when I shifted into my wolf. Although I know it would be since I haven't shifted for a long time, I never expected it to be so excruciating. It felt as if my bones were breaking and my flesh was tearing apart. When I finally shifted and stepped out, my breath hitched at the way Nathan was staring at me. My wolf liked the way his eyes were stuck on us without moving. I like it too… I just can't lie. I like that he still found my wolf mesmerizing just like when he was a kid. When he moved closer and touched my wolf, she purred in delight and closed her eyes. She must have missed him. I liked it too, his touch is so tender and soft. I know I'm not the one in control right now, but whatever my wolf was feeling I was feeling it too. My wolf was so happy when he said she's beautiful. I was going to be happy about it, but then I reminded myself that it refers to my wolf and not me. The way he giggled when my wolf started licking
Alpha Nathan's point of view My eyes lingered on the most beautiful brown wolf I've ever seen. I've seen lots of brown wolves, but I found her more captivating. My wolf was screaming in my head, pushing me to move closer. I wanted the same thing, my hands were itching to touch her. I gave in and inched closer to her, as I gently touched her soft fur. She purred and closed her eyes, it looks like she loves my touch. Well, she has always loved my touch. I smile as I bend and run my palm through her soft body. I miss her. It was as if she became bigger and more beautiful.“You are so beautiful," I said not knowing when I let my thoughts out. She wagged her tail, looking happy that I called her beautiful. She stuck out her tongue and started licking my face. I couldn't help but giggle at the tingle her tongue makes on my face. I never felt like a child like I am right now. It reminded me of the good old times. I laughed as I fell on my back and she continued licking my tongue. It's so ti
Zendaya's point of view I couldn't return back to the kitchen because Grey wouldn't leave my side. I made sure he took his bath and fed very well. After that, I lured him to sleep by singing for me. I'm not that good of a singer, somehow he loves my singing.After making sure he's sleeping soundly, I changed into the sports bra and leggings I brought along with me to work. I guess this is a good way to dress for training. After I was done, I returned to Nathan's office. The sun is slowly setting, and it is time for our training. “Are you ready?" Nathan asked me. His eyes ran through my body as if he's checking me out. For a second, I think his eyes flashed red but he quickly took his gaze away from me.“Yes." I nodded. I don't know why I'm somehow feeling nervous. Maybe it has been a long time I've trained, to top it up I'm doing it with Nathan.I sat beside Nathan as he's driving us to the secluded part of the pack which is close to the forest. According to him, that's the best pla
Zendaya's point of view I stayed longer than usual in the bathroom. I wouldn't stop thinking about the moment I fell on Nathan and our lips crashed. My body stiffened at that moment, and it was as if a fire was rekindled inside me. My heart was beating louder than a drum and my body stilled like stone. It was an accidental kiss, but I don't know why it affected me so much. I couldn't believe that if not for Zoe's scream, I wouldn't move away or snap back to reality. I didn't know that I could still act normal in front of him after that kiss. Well, the drive back to my house would have been extremely awkward with a tense aura if not for Zoe who kept on talking. I knew it would be that way, that was why I didn't want him to drive us home… But thanks to Zoe, he did. I wonder if the kiss affected him just like it did to me. ‘Come on Zendaya, even if it does, it doesn't matter.’ I reminded myself.I have to get my thoughts together. I don't even understand myself anymore…. What is wrong
Alpha Nathan's point of view “Snake? I'm not seeing any snakes… oh! That?" Zendaya chuckled after seeing the carved snake. “That's not a real snake baby. It's a carved lifeless snake that can't bite."“What?" Zoe turned and looked at the snake. “No, that's a snake."I don't blame her though. That snake really looks real. I'm even surprised that Zendaya was quick to notice that the snake is not real without closely observing it. I squat in front of Zoe, I held her shoulders as I made her look into my eyes. Giving her a sweet smile, I said, “Your mummy is right, that's not a real snake. It's a carved snake that was given to me by my father."“You sure?" She was still in doubt. I nodded with an assuring smile.“Look…" I straightened up and walked over to where the snake was. I picked it up and fling it in the air, clearly showing her that it is lifeless. “This is so annoying! This thing freaked the hell outta me!" She whined. I and Zendaya chuckled.“What's going on?" I looked at the
Nathan's point of view The moment our lips met, I felt a surge of electricity run through me. My eyes widened in shock, and my heart started racing. I could feel my wolf dancing in excitement, and wanting more from the lips crash. I was hooked, I couldn't move or unwrap my hands which wrap around her back, or even take my lips away from hers. She isn't moving either, it looks as if she's hooked just like me. I can hear the loud beating of her heart, rhyming with my fastly pacing heart. My wolf is pushing me to deepen the kiss, he's not having it with just the lip to lip crash. I was fighting not to do it, but I was losing control of myself already. My eyes darkened, my wolf trying to take control. My mind was clouded and the only thought racing in my head was to kiss her, to touch every part of her body, and to fuck her.Fuck! I'm screwed. I'm losing the battle already. My wolf is gradually taking control, and it looks like my human side wants the same thing. I've always wanted to k
Zendaya's point of view After making sure that the little boy is sleeping comfortably in the room Nathan provided him. I returned to his office with the young man who took us to the room. Nathan ordered some toys to keep Zoe busy, so we can discuss the rogue's issue. Nathan introduced me to the young man. That was when I knew that he's Elijah, Nathan's friend when he was a kid. I was Nathan's first friend, he met Elijah after meeting me. Elijah is now his Beta, I would have guessed that. He has also grown up into a handsome man. With the way he acted formally towards me, I'm sure he doesn't remember me. Nathan told me that the rogue's attack has been going on for some weeks now, and he has been handling it discreetly because he doesn't want his people to find out and start living in fear. He also doesn't tell the family of the people who end up in the hospital because of a rogue attack the exact reason they are there. He said that all the plans they had carried out to catch them we
Zendaya's point of view“Mum," the young boy call me. I didn't know what to do or say, I just wrap my arms around his tiny body. My heart felt for the boy, and at that moment, I felt like protecting him from anything that could cause harm to him. He looks thin. I'm sure he's Zoe's age, but Zoe has more flesh than him. He looks lonely and in the need of love and protection.“What happened to him?" I asked no one in particular. I actually heard Nathan said that he will make those that killed his mother pay. This little boy must be going through so much pain. I know the pain of losing a mother, because I've experienced it before.“He lost his mother. She was killed by rogues last night." Nathan replied. I tightened my fist in anger. The only thing these blood thirsty rogues are good at is to kill innocent people. I can see myself in this boy. I also lost my mother in the hands of rogues, and not just my mother but my father too. Those rogues ruined my life and I will do everything I can
Alpha Nathan's point of view There was another rogue attack last night. I sat in my office fuming in rage. If I capture these rogues, I will make their death slow and painful. My training with Zendaya will commence tomorrow. If I meet her tomorrow, I will discuss with her about mapping out a good plan that will help capture the rogues. Amidst the anger in my heart, it was still able to flip a bit with the thought of meeting Zendaya tomorrow. I wonder how I will face her after what I did last night. One thing I know is that it will be very awkward.The knock on the door disrupted my thought. I wonder who is knocking. I wasn't expecting anyone. I sent Elijah on an assignment. There was a she-wolf who was killed in the rogue attack and I learned that she has a son. Her mate is already dead. Now that she's dead, her son will have no one to care for him. So I asked Elijah to bring him to stay in the pack. The knock came again, and that was when I recognized that familiar scent. The scen
