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 POVNot long after, our coffee arrived. I tasted the latté, and it immediately warmed my body. Scarlett sipped her cappuccino with a satisfied smile on her face. "It's delicious," I said with a smile, enjoying the sweet taste of the caramel combined with the coffee. "This place is really comfortable." Scarlett nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I like this kind of atmosphere. Quiet, but not too quiet. Perfect for spending time while chatting." We were silent for a moment, each busy enjoying our coffee. However, I could feel Scarlett looking at me as if she had something she wanted to say. I raised an eyebrow, signaling for her to say what was on her mind. "Is there something you want to talk about?" I asked in a light tone. Scarlett put down her coffee cup and looked at me with a more serious expression. "Emma, I wanted to ask you about the man you told me about yesterday. Joseph, right?"My heart started beating a li
Emma's POV The question caught me by surprise. Logan? I’d never thought about it after that brief encounter at the villa. To me, it was nothing more than a chance business meeting. But Scarlett seemed to see it differently.“Scarlett, I haven’t even thought that far,” I said, trying to stay calm. “Besides, why would he be interested in me? I have a child without a husband. A guy like Logan would be looking for someone simpler, without the burdens I have.”Scarlett shook her head slowly. “Don’t underestimate yourself, Emma. I know you might feel like your life is full of challenges, but Logan probably sees something different in you. You’re a strong, independent woman who takes care of four kids wonderfully. That’s not something to be underestimated.”I looked at Scarlett, feeling a little touched by her words. But still, I couldn’t imagine Logan being interested in me. He’s a CEO, his life must be all set, and I… I’m just a single mother struggling ev
Logan’s POVI was still in shock at what I had just seen. A little boy, my son Adolf, had transformed into a werewolf before my eyes. How could that be? In our world, such powers were supposed to only emerge when someone was seventeen. How could Adolf do it at the age of three? These thoughts swirled around in my head, creating waves of fear and anxiety.Adolf, in his wolf form, seemed to be struggling against the power that was dominating his body. He roared, and the sound shook every corner of the zoo. Worry filled my heart as I thought about Emma. She must have been shocked—no, terrified—when she saw her son in this state. However, we couldn’t leave him alone. I had to help my son.With careful steps, I began to approach the wolf enclosure. Adolf looked helpless, but there was fear in his eyes. “Adolf!” I shouted, trying to calm him down. “We’re here! I’m your father!”Suddenly, his face shook, and he stared at me with fiery eyes. But instead
Emma's POV We walked around, and at each enclosure, Logan seemed to entertain the children even more with his humorous explanations. “There are lions here! When they roar, their voices can be heard for miles around!” He roared loudly, and the children immediately followed suit, shouting, “Ooooo!”My annoyance began to subside as the children’s laughter echoed. When we reached the enclosure for the tame animals, Logan offered the children the chance to feed the sheep. “Who wants to feed the sheep?”The four children quickly waved their hands. “Me! Me!” They jostled forward, and Logan gently guided them.“When feeding, we have to be gentle. These sheep really like vegetables.” Logan picked up some carrots and gave them to the children. They were so spoiled, holding the carrots happily as they bent down to feed the sheep.“Uncle Logan, look! The sheep wants it!” Allonza shouted, puffing out her cheeks as the sheep happily munched on the vegetab
Logan’s POVScarlett threw an apple at me, and I caught it instinctively. “I’m your sister, so why can’t I stay over at her sister’s house? Besides, I feel bad leaving you alone after everything that happened.”I paused for a moment, fumbling through the memories of last night. Maybe it was all just a dream? I remembered the beautiful moments with her, the kiss that changed everything. But when I saw Scarlett in front of me, everything felt more real. “So, you’re really here?” I asked, still trying to convince myself.“Of course, Logan. This is your house, and I can be here anytime. Why do you want me to leave?” She raised her eyebrows, looking teasing.“No, it’s not like that. I just… Did I dream about Emma,” I replied, feeling disappointed.As we finished breakfast, Scarlett suddenly looked at me with an eager expression. “Logan, you have to get ready quickly today,” she said, her voice full of enthusiasm.“What? Why?” I asked,
Logan's POV I was still sitting there, trying to regain consciousness amidst the gnawing dizziness. But when Scarlett approached me, I could tell that I was no longer fit to continue. She looked at me with concern. “Logan, are you okay? You’ve had too much to drink.”“I’m fine,” I answered hoarsely, trying to smile even though I knew I couldn’t stand properly.Scarlett shook her head, her eyes sharp as she assessed my condition. “You should go home. I’ll take you. Don’t worry about the others. Let me take care of this.”Reluctantly, I stood up, but my body refused to obey. My legs felt wobbly, and I nearly fell before Scarlett swiftly supported me. “Come on, let’s go,” she said softly, but firmly.Watching Emma from afar, I felt torn. She stood in the middle of a group of her coworkers, seemingly detached from everything that was happening around her. Her eyes were searching for something, and when our gazes met, she looked momentarily surpr
Logan’s POVThat night, the atmosphere in the restaurant Scarlett had chosen was warm and festive. Soft lights hung from the ceiling, creating an intimate atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable. The tables were beautifully set, decorated with crisp white napkins and small candles lit, creating the perfect atmosphere to celebrate Scarlett’s promotion.When I arrived, Scarlett was already sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by several cheerful coworkers. A wide smile lit her face when she saw me enter. I waved and felt a tinge of warmth as she waved back, signaling that I was in the right place.“Finally, Logan!” Scarlett called out as I approached, the atmosphere growing even more festive as everyone stared at me. “I was worried you wouldn’t come!”“I wasn’t going to pass up this opportunity,” I replied with a smile. Although awkward, I tried to hide the nervousness that was hanging inside me.The rest of my coworkers beg
Logan’s POVI sat in my office chair, my eyes blankly staring at the computer screen. Although I tried to focus on the pile of documents in front of me, my mind was distracted by Emma. Twice I had been rejected by the woman I wanted most in my life. Twice I had felt like I had fallen into the same abyss.The incident in front of Emma’s office was still fresh in my mind. I couldn’t understand why she was acting the way she was. When I pulled her hand away, hoping to explain my feelings, Emma instead slapped my hand away angrily. The frustration grew when I realized that her rejection was not only because of me as Logan but also because of my past as Joseph.Confusion and annoyance swept through my mind. I wanted to scream, wanting to express all the mixed emotions in my heart. Why couldn’t she open her heart to me? Why did she have to compare me to other men, especially Joseph? I felt like I was not only competing with that man but also fighting against the
Emma's POV After making sure all the kids were asleep, I walked into the room and grabbed my phone that was lying on the table. Tiredness was starting to creep up on me, but I felt the need to talk to Scarlett. For the past few days, it seemed like we hadn't spent much time together, and I needed a little cheer. I dialed Scarlett's number and picked it up when she answered. "Hello, Scarlett!" My voice was cheerful, but a little tired. "Hey, Emma! How are you?" Scarlett's voice sounded warm on the other end. "I'm fine. Just finished dinner with the kids. They're very cheerful, as usual," I replied, sitting on the edge of the bed. "That's good to hear! They must make you feel better after all the drama at work." Scarlett sounded enthusiastic, and it warmed my heart to hear her voice. "Yeah, but I'm still tired. And the Logan thing's confusing me too," I said, my voice dropping slightly. "Logan? Still bothering
Emma's POV The journey home felt lighter with their cheerful voices along the way. They kept talking about the animals they wanted to see, the games they wanted to play, and the delicious food they imagined they could try at the tourist attractions. Although tired, I felt grateful to have four children who always made me smile in the midst of all the chaos of life. And I knew that no matter what happened in the future, as long as I had them, everything would be okay. When I arrived home, I was immediately greeted with laughter and screams of joy from my children. They ran around the room holding toys they brought home from daycare. Seeing them excited made my heart flutter. I immediately changed into more casual clothes, distracting myself from the tiring day. After changing, I headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Even though I was tired, nothing was more satisfying to me than cooking for my children. They all loved pasta, so I decided to make
Emma's POV The question hit me hard. Yes, I was thinking about Joseph, the man who always made me feel safe, but I also knew that behind every lie I made to protect my feelings, there was a huge void that no one could fill. Not even Logan. But I couldn't just admit it. I swallowed, hardening my heart. "Yes, you're right, President Logan," I said firmly. "I like another man. And that's why I don't want you to keep bothering me. So, please, stop all this. Stop making me feel special because I don't want it." My words sounded firm, but inside, everything felt like a mess. Logan was silent, saying nothing. His gaze changed—disappointed, hurt, and maybe a little angry. But I knew that what I was doing was the only way to stop this madness. Logan shouldn't get too close to me. I wasn't the one for him. Logan finally nodded, though his eyes still flashed with disbelief. "If that's what you want, Emma," he said, his voice colder than before. "I'll stop."
