Logan's POVAfter leaving the park, my thoughts kept wandering to Emma and her children, our children. I drove aimlessly, just letting the wheels spin, while my mind was busy thinking about my next move. Meeting them today, even in a tense situation, was a reminder that I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by.Emma was stubborn, but I could tell she wasn't completely closed to the idea of me wanting to be a part of the children's lives. She might not admit it, but there were small moments, maybe just glimpses, where I felt hope.But I also knew that I couldn't keep pushing like this. I had to be smarter and more careful in approaching them. Emma was clearly still carrying a lot of pain from the past, and I couldn't blame her. But the children shouldn't have to suffer because of the mistakes I made. They deserved a father, even if it was a man with a dark past like mine.The next day, I decided to take a different approach. I sent each of the
Emma's POV I just smiled, though there were so many things behind that smile that I wanted to say. "Yeah, they do brighten up my days," I replied quietly. Scarlett put her cup down and looked at me more seriously. "But I can see that something is bothering you, Emma. You don't seem like yourself. What's wrong? Is there something bigger going on?" I paused for a moment, feeling my doubts take over. I wanted to tell her, but there was so much I had to hide, especially about who Joseph really was. But Scarlett was my best friend, and I felt the need to share at least some of what was going on. "There's someone..." I began, my voice shaking slightly. "Someone from the past who came back and messed everything up." Scarlett looked at me intently. "Someone from the past? You mean, someone you used to be close to?" I nodded, feeling the weight lift off my chest little by little. "His name is Joseph. He's come back into my life, and... he's bothering not only me but the kids as well."
Logan's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the wall of my room. My mind was filled with images of Emma and her children. Damn it. Why did everything have to be so complicated? I squeezed my hands until my knuckles turned white. Why was I still thinking about Emma? I already knew the answer, but damn, I felt like I was getting caught up in a whirlwind of feelings that shouldn't be there.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But, before I could fully sink into my thoughts, my bedroom door suddenly swung open. Scarlett was standing there, her eyes sharp on mine."What the hell, Scarlett? Have you never heard of 'knock' before entering someone's room?" I asked in an angry tone.Scarlett just smirked, then walked in as if she had every right to be there. "Calm down, Logan. I just met someone you know."I frowned, no time for Scarlett's games right now. "I don't care who you meet. Get out of here, Scarlett."
Logan's POV "Scarlett, I know my responsibilities," I said softly, trying to convince myself as much as I was trying to convince her. "But Emma... she and the pups... they're important to me too." Scarlett looked at me with sympathetic eyes. "I understand, Logan. But you must remember, your responsibilities as Alpha are not something you can ignore. The young wolves need your guidance. They need you to be the leader they can depend on." Her words echoed in my mind. I had neglected my duties for too long and been distracted for too long by feelings and desires I should have been able to control. But could I really abandon Emma? Ignore the four pups I felt were related to me. I hung my head, feeling the weight of the choice I had to make growing. "Scarlett... I'm caught between two worlds. I want to be with Emma, I want to get to know the pups better. But on the other hand, I can't abandon this pack." Scarlett leaned in, patting my shoulder gently. "You don't have to choose
Logan's POV The next morning, I returned to the villa, the place that had once been the center of everything. There were so many memories and responsibilities attached to this place, and it felt strange to be here after so long, like returning to a world I had once left behind. In front of the villa, the young werewolves had gathered, waiting eagerly, though they tried to hide it behind their nonchalant demeanor. They all looked at me, waiting for instructions. I looked around, seeing young faces, full of enthusiasm, but also with the arrogance and self-confidence that only those who had not yet experienced the outside world could have. They reminded me of myself, full of ambition, eager to prove myself, but not knowing what they were really getting into. "Alright," I said, my voice louder than I had intended. "Let's begin." They immediately moved into position, showing their readiness for whatever I had to say. One by one, I checked their formation, making corrections here
Emma’s POVThat morning, I was getting ready to go back to work after a week of vacation. After making sure everything was ready, I prepared a simple breakfast for my four children. Adney, Adolf, Ainsley, and Allonza were sitting neatly at the dining table, each with a bright smile on their faces. I could feel the warmth in my heart seeing them so calm and obedient.“Allonza, are you ready for breakfast, honey?” I asked the youngest, who was busy drawing something on a paper napkin.“Yes, Mom,” Allonza replied with a small nod. She immediately put down her crayons and started eating.Ainsley, who was sitting next to Allonza, looked at her sister with a slight smile on her face. “Mom, last night Allonza said she dreamed of playing in the park again. Let’s go to the park again tomorrow, okay?” I smiled, stroking Ainsley’s hair gently. “If I am not busy, we’ll definitely go there again.”After breakfast was over, I took them to day
Emma’s POV "Yes, but you didn't tell me the real reason. I heard rumors about a man who keeps following you. Is that true?" He looked at me sharply this time, as if trying to read my mind."That's my business, not yours," I said firmly. I wasn't going to let him pry into my personal affairs. Matthew was always like this, wanting to know more than he should."You know, Emma, I could make your life harder here if I wanted to. I have the power to do that," he threatened, but I just smiled a little."You tried, Matthew, and look where I am now. I'm still here, doing my job well," I replied. I wasn't going to back down just because he tried to scare me.Matthew looked annoyed by my answer. His face turned red, but he tried to hide his emotions by taking a deep breath."Don't be cocky, Emma. Remember, I'm the one calling the shots here. If you don't cooperate, I can easily get rid of you," he said in a lower tone, trying to sound mo
Emma's POVAfter a brief chat with Scarlett, I decided to shift my focus to work. Although the meeting with Matthew was still on my mind, I knew that getting lost at work was the best way to relieve stress. I opened up some documents that I had to review and started typing up a pending report. The hours passed by without me realizing it, and I managed to finish a few important tasks. When lunchtime came, I almost lost track of time. Scarlett suddenly stood beside my desk, snapping me out of it. "Emma, it's lunchtime. You were too engrossed in your work," she said with a smile. I glanced at the clock in the corner of my computer screen and realized that time had indeed flown by quickly. "Really, I didn't even realize it was lunchtime." Scarlett chuckled. "That's how you are when you're focused. Come on, let's go outside for a bit. There's a new restaurant nearby that I've been meaning to try." I nodded in agreement, grabbed
Emma's POV After that happy moment, the two of us continued our journey to the playground where the children were waiting. As soon as we arrived, the sound of laughter and cheerful shouts from the children greeted us. They were playing in the ball pit, and when they saw us approaching, their faces immediately lit up with joy.“Mom! Uncle!” Adney shouted, running towards us. Behind him, Adolf, Ainsley, and Allonza also jumped for joy, running towards us excitedly. My heart felt warm seeing them so happy.Logan bent down, stretched his arms, and said, “Come here, everyone! Gather here!” The four children immediately rushed Logan, surrounding him and hugging him happily. In an instant, Logan bent down, lifted one of the children in his arms and greeted them with a big smile. “How about you call me Dad from now on?”Without hesitation, they nodded together. “Dad!” they said in unison, and the sound was like music to my ears. Seeing them call Logan d
Emma's POV “Do you feel like you’re losing yourself when you’re with him?” Scarlett asked, trying to dig deeper.“No, it’s not that. When I’m with him, I feel alive,” I said, my eyes sparkling a little at the thought of Logan. “But the fear is always there. I don’t know if I’m ready to let him in completely, especially after everything that’s happened between us.”“So what do you want? Do you want to give Logan a chance to prove that he can be a better person? That he can be a good father to your children?”“I do,” I said quietly. “But there’s a part of me that keeps wondering if I’m just hurting myself. Am I just trying to create happiness for the kids without thinking about my own feelings? I don’t want to be selfish.”Scarlett nodded, understanding my concerns. “There’s nothing selfish about seeking happiness for yourself, Emma. And if Logan is already struggling with it, maybe it’s time you considered giving him a chance.”Heari
Emma’s POVThe days passed quickly, and Logan’s presence in our house became a regular occurrence, though sometimes it made me feel pressured. Every time Logan came over, the kids greeted him with great joy. They ran to hug him, as if he was a hero who had just returned from an adventure. Seeing the smiles on their faces made my heart flutter, but on the other hand, my feelings became more complex.When Logan started playing with them, I often got caught up in mixed feelings. It felt good to see the kids happy, but every laugh and familiarity between them made me more anxious. Was I really ready for all of this? Would I ever allow myself to open up to Logan after everything that had happened? These questions kept haunting my mind, and I tried hard to stay calm.There were times when Logan would ask me to play with him, but I always found an excuse to pull away. Maybe I thought that keeping my distance was the best way to protect myself and the kids. I didn
Emma's POV “Slow down, guys! We don’t want anyone to fall,” I called, a little worried as they ran aimlessly. But seeing them so cheerful made my heart flutter. Logan walked beside me, watching the kids with a big smile on his face. “They look happy,” he said, his gaze full of love. “Yeah, they do like being together like this,” I replied, though inside I felt a mix of happiness and uncertainty. Logan turned to me, his face serious for a moment. “Emma, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I know this hasn’t been easy for us, but I want to try to be a good father to them.” I nodded, sensing the sincerity in his words. “I appreciate that, Logan. But we still need time to adjust. This is just the beginning.”He sighed, seeming to understand. “I understand. I just want them to know that they have a father who cares. And I want you to know that I’ll always be here for you.”His words warmed my heart. Even though I sti
Emma's POV My heart was pounding. Even though I appreciated everything Logan had done, I knew that my soul was still stuck in uncertainty. “Logan, I don’t want you to feel burdened. This is a process, and I don’t want to rush it.”He nodded, though he looked a little disappointed. “Okay, if that’s what you want, I’ll respect that.” Logan’s voice was heavy, and I could feel his deep disappointment.“I promise I’ll make the right decision, and I hope you understand,” I said, trying to encourage him.“Thank you, Emma,” he said, though there was doubt on his face. “I just want you and the kids to be happy.”“I know. And we want you to be happy, too, Logan. Let’s do what’s best for the kids, okay?” After a few moments of silence, Logan reached out to take my hand, and I felt it warm. But when I came back to my thoughts, I knew there was still a lot to organize. “Now, let’s go join the kids. They need us both,” I said, trying to
Emma's POVA few days have passed since that night, a night filled with tension and fear. Now, Adolf has recovered. Seeing him playing with Adney, Ainsley, and Allonza filled my heart with happiness. They laughed, ran around the park, and teased each other with the joy typical of children. Their laughter was like touching music, erasing all the dark memories that had haunted us.I sat on the park bench, watching them with a big smile. However, behind that smile, my mind was reminded of everything that had happened. Seeing Adolf back to his usual activities was an indescribable joy. However, the image of that night—the fight, Cordelia, and all the tension—still felt like it was gnawing at my mind. It felt like just yesterday I almost lost everything. Now, I try to stay strong and optimistic, even though fear often strikes in the corner of my heart.This break gave me a chance to reflect. For days, we had been trapped in uncertainty and anxiety. However, see
Logan's POVAs his body collapsed, the full moon slowly began to fade, signaling the end of the ritual we had gone through. My adrenaline was still high as I stared at Adolf, my friend who had fought so hard. When it was all over, he lay still, but I could feel a little movement from him. His breathing became more steady, and slowly, his eyes opened. "Adolf..." Emma's voice sounded, full of emotion and worry. She ran to her son and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face. Seeing that moment, my heart trembled. There was something so pure in their meeting, a bond of strength that could not be expressed in words. I stood there, looking at them, feeling a mixture of relief and guilt hitting me at the same time. My success in bringing Adolf back to this world was an achievement to be proud of, but the shadow of the decision I made still loomed in my mind. I couldn't ignore the fact that the price was quite high. Even though this nigh
Logan's POVOur embrace grew tighter as if all the burdens and wounds of the past began to melt away between us. For the first time in a very long time, I felt a glimmer of hope. Hope to start a better life with Emma and our children. I would not waste this opportunity. Emma had forgiven me, and I would do everything to prove that I deserved to be a part of her life and our children. In that embrace, I knew that tonight was not just about Adolf being healed, but also about our first step in building a real family. As the warm embrace between Emma and I was released, the atmosphere changed suddenly when Kevin came rushing in, his face serious. "Alpha, the elders have arrived," he said in a firm tone. I turned quickly, seeing Emma who still looked a little confused. However, I knew that this was a very important moment, a moment where everything would change. I nodded towards Kevin, then turned back to Emma. "I have to go greet them."
Logan's POV The night was getting late, and the cold air began to infiltrate every corner of the room, reminding me that tonight was a crucial night. Outside, the moon was almost full, a sign that time was getting closer. I stood outside the slightly hidden room, waiting for the arrival of the elders who would help with Adolf's healing ritual. My mind was full of anxiety and uncertainty, but I tried to stay calm. While waiting, I heard light and slow footsteps approaching. I turned my head and was surprised to see Emma walking towards me. Her face looked pale, clearly showing that tonight had not been easy for her. When she was close enough, I frowned, a little worried. "Emma? Why are you here?" I asked softly but full of worry. "I asked you to sleep with the children. You need to rest." Emma shook her head slowly, her eyes looking tired but full of determination. "Adney, Ainsley, and Allonza are asleep," she said in a soft
