Logan's POV...
I stood at the court like a proud dad, seeing how well my plans had played out and knowing there was no way in hell Kara would manipulate her way out of this mess she had created for herself. "What do you have to say in your defence, Kara? Are all these allegations against you true?" Elder Matthew asked, with the whole room filled with silence. The court was as quiet as a graveyard showing how severe the case was; Kara had gotten herself into a huge mess. "Everything is false; they want to throw me out of the pack. It is all a lie! They are blackmailing me," Kara cried out, trying to manipulate her way out of the situation using fake tears and a pitiful look. "Shut the fuck up, you whore. I guess you can't lie your way out of this one now, can you?" I asked Kara with a broad smile on my face. "You dare call me a whore?" Kara spurt out, looking very disappointedLogan’s POV… “You will not give up, will you? Or do you want to embarrass yourself further by trying to deny the clear evidence presented against you today?” I fired at Kara. Kara shook her head innocently, turning to the elders. “How do you know if this isn’t all just a set-up against me? I will never cheat on my Alpha. I don’t know how they came up with this planted evidence, but everything is a lie. I have been faithful to Logan since day one, but things started falling apart after he brought in that slave! Can’t you see that he is doing all this to push me away and bring in Alexa as his mate? He wants to shift all the focus from Danister’s daughter, who has bewitched him and place all the hatred on me, who is innocent. It will not work! No matter what, I will stand my ground in this place because I know I am innocent. I did not cheat on you, Alpha Logan; may the goddess herself bear me witness.” As they listened to her, I noticed the mixtures of confusion on their faces; she w
Logan's POV…"So what do you have to say for yourselves?" I questioned them. They remained quiet with their heads bent, some stealing side glances to look at one another, none even so much as passing a glare in my direction. It seemed they were searching their minds for what to say. "Speak!" I stated impatiently. My loud tone frightened them, and then they knew that staying quiet would increase their punishment. Martin was the first one to speak up. "I-I never wished to do it, sire. I swear. I never had eyes for Kara, but she forced me the first time after threatening me if I didn't sleep with her. After that, I tried to avoid her, but she kept constantly calling me to her room. I tried to get away from her, but she kept threatening me…." I laughed at his statement, which made him pause, "Kara kept threatening you, with what exactly?" I asked him. "She threatened to kill me." Another one of them, Lugard, spoke up too after Martin, "Kara threatened to frame and accuse me of rapi
Logaan's POV..."The people had been brainwashed into thinking that Kara only had the best interest of the pack and that no other person would be the right fit," Elder Albert added. "I hate to admit that we were also partly responsible for this. It was from Kara to us and from us to them. They had been conditioned to only accept Kara. But with what we have seen today, we are certain you have made the right choice, Alpha Logan. We will let the pack know what happened in this meeting room and clear up any possibility of her becoming queen." "I appreciate that you all do not speak in defence of Kara even when her wrongs are glaring. I am happy that you do not also want me to marry her, which is what I had been trying to make you all know before now. I am glad now that you have seen with your eyes that she is not fit to be a Luna," I said.. they all nodded. Knowing the pack members fully well, they knew the task ahead would be challenging. They would demand and insist that Kara was the L
Logan's POV... All the elders sat as witnesses as I pronounced banishment on all the men who had had affairs with Kara. After leaving the court, they were escorted straight to the pack's borders, never to return again. The elders were satisfied with the verdict, but I never did any of what I did to please them, but rather because it was fitting for their crimes. As for Kara, I told them of my intention to still keep her within these territories. They didn't question me; I was thankful for that, though I would still deal with her after a lengthy prison sentence. The elders left with the mind that we would not be having this type of meeting for a long time. It was left to them to go and untell the pack members whatever lies they told about Kara being the best candidate for queen. I was grateful to have Simon back from the pack he had gone to represent me, but I had been too occupied upon his return to ask about the journey. He understood perfectly
Author's POV... ***TEN MONTHS LATER***Selena sat at the edge of the bed. It was a small medical unit in the pack house, and she had just been briefed by the doctor during her final session. After months of therapy, he told her she was fine and ready to go on with her normal life. She could feel her inner wolf longing to be out in the open and enjoy the serenity that the forest offered, to breathe in the sweet-smelling air of the forest and bask in the warm sun rays. According to Alexa's request made before she left, Alpha Logan checked up on her occasionally to ensure she was fine. It's been so long, but she missed Alexa a lot and wished terribly that she was right there with her. Therapy had taken a whole lot of time for Selena, but now she was healed. She was ready for things to go back to normal. She missed dining with the other wolves and couldn't wait to begin training with the guards, as Simon had set her up for self-defence lessons. Her life was fine now, but it still felt
Author's POV.The next morning, Selena woke up to an empty room. The bed was well made on the side, vacant beside her. It was long cold, and she knew he had left for a long time.Selena and Simon were not mates, and although her wolf had enjoyed him, she did not feel that tingle or the way mated people described. But she loved him a lot, and through the night, Simon had told her that he loved her too.The night passed with them both sweaty and exploring every each of their skins, kissing, touching, letting the fire burn them till they reached their peak over and over again. Selena sighed as she rolled over, partly worried that he left before she woke, but then her slag muscles gave her a sense of calm and relaxation that came with passionate lovemaking.This morning, she had her training to do, and she wanted to try if the crowded dining room would make her keep down any meal.As she anticipated the day ahead, she remembered the first
Logan's POV...The air was a little warm, and although I was a good distance away from the kitchen, I could still smell the odd aroma of raw meat being fried. The smell of burnt blood did things to my nostrils that I could not just explain. Maybe it appealed to my inner wolf.I had missed dinner with the rest of my men at the pack dining room. I was more concerned with my heart, which was beating a little out of control, than my grumbling stomach.Simon had joked once or twice about my current state of loneliness and how he thought it was affecting my productivity - whatever that meant. To me, I was doing perfectly alright, and there was no reduction in my productivity. I trained when I had to, I was always available for patrols, I did rounds in the territory and I tried to make sure everything was perfect. I still could not understand why Simon thought I was not performing at my best.Simon tried all he could to cheer me up, but I noticed that Simon and
Logan's POV...It was mid-day when the event planner was done with all the decorations, and it was at that point I realized how absurd my plan was. But despite the absurdity of the idea, it seemed like people were responding quite positively to it. At first, I did not want to let anybody know about it. But then, Simon became so inquisitive that hiding the inflammation from him was difficult. At about noon, just after I had brunch with him, I told him my plan, and as I expected, he did not quite respond well to it.He first stood still for about 10 seconds, no doubt waiting to see if I was joking. Then when he realized I wasn't, he gave me the best you-have-got-to-be-fucking-kidding-me face in the history of faces.At that point, I did not know what to say that would make me not sound like I had gone stack raving mad or I was simply a pervert, so I kept silent, hoping that he would realize I was serious and praying silently that this yielded good results so I wou
"I used to be the well-respected Lady Kara. Everyone feared me! No one beneath me dared to so much as look me in the eye or remain sitting whenever I walked into a room, but now, I've lost everything! My life, my status, my man, all gone! I've become a nobody all because of that bitch who suddenly came and stole everything from me. I hate her so much!!!" It seems the battle she fought so hard for had been lost by Omega Kara, and she is now left to rot and suffer in a cruel world full of people just like her former self. But does the goddess give second chances? Is it possible for the darkest and evilest of hearts to turn a new leaf and become pure and white as snow? With all of her past behaviours, Kara was deemed the devil herself; now it's time for her to pay for her crimes and receive her dose of the same pain and suffering she caused others. But what will happen when the moon goddess decides not just to give her another chance to mend her ways but also an unexpected mate? The m
Alexa's POV…Logan was reluctant, but after pleading, he decided to trust me as much as he did before. After he ordered his men to leave the room, I turned from him to Kara."You can have anything you want, Kara. You want Logan. Fine. I will leave this pack with Alvin and never return. You can have him then, your queenship, your Luna title and everything else I took from you, I'll give it back. Please, just spare the child.""You must think I am a fool, Alexa. You think I don't know what Logan will do to me the minute this child is in safety. Besides, I know he doesn't want me anymore. So, thank you for your offer, but no. I'm not interested. Killing Alvin will be more satisfying because I know it's more realistic than getting married to Logan.""You might not have the Luna position or all you desired any longer, Kara, but that still doesn't mean your life won't be meaningful. I know things didn't go as planned for you
Alexa's POV…The day ended with Alpha Carl apologizing to Logan and I for the intended attack. He also wished us the best in our union before retreating with the Crescent Moon soldiers. Logan had a short meeting with the elders where they planned Vader's execution date and also agreed to free the soldiers who confessed and send them back to the Blue Scorpion pack. There was not enough time to discuss much, so we fixed another meeting, but for the first time I'd been in this pack, the elder's faces weren't filled with scowls as they saw me. Instead, I saw glints of pride and happiness on their faces. They were happy because I averted the war, and it made them change their perceptions of me. The short meeting ended with Elder Andrew saying. "We will have to pause here, it's been a long day, and since we've discussed the basics, we will arrange another meeting to give honour to whom it is due." He passed a warm smile in my direction, and so did the other elders before they got up and le
Alexa’s POV…I looked over at Logan; he was standing right there with Simon, giving me an assuring look that said he trusted me, so he let me handle it. Another person I was glad to see was Kara. She was on the other side of the terrain with Vader and Carl. No doubt, they’d been working together. If only she and Carl knew who they’d been working with. My vision gave Carl the reaction I expected. He was beginning to falter in his resolve to trust Vader fully. I continued with what I had in mind. “I know you’re still pondering what to do, Alpha Carl, but let me ask you this question. How long have you known Vader? I’m guessing it’s only been for a few months. I have known him for the greater part of my life, and I have always known that he is up to no good. The Vader I know never likes to serve under anyone. He always wants all the power for himself, and he had planned to kill Alpha Danister before Logan’s attack.” “Enough!” Vader growled. “There are many things I will tolerate, but
Alexa's POV..."Carl, I implore you to listen to me. Vader has never been one to serve under anyone. He craves power and control for himself and will stop at nothing to achieve it. He orchestrated the plan to kill Danister before Logan's attack, and he's manipulating you into trusting him." I persisted. "I'm getting tired of your accusations, Alexa. Vader has proven his loyalty time and again. I will not allow you to tarnish his reputation with your baseless claims." Alpha Carl said. "I understand that it's difficult to accept, Carl. But the evidence is there if you're willing to look. Vader's desire for power has always been evident. He thrives on manipulation and deceit. If you continue to trust him blindly, he will lead you down a treacherous path." "Enough of this nonsense, Alexa! Your attempts to tarnish my name are pathetic. Alpha Carl, do not be swayed by her lies. She is desperate and will say anything to undermine our unity." Vader interrupts. "Vader, your attempts to sil
Alexa's POV... The tension in the air was palpable as the two werewolf armies stood opposite each other. The moon hung high in the dark sky, casting an eerie glow on the battlefield. The growls and snarls of the werewolves filled the night, echoing through the surrounding forest. On one side, a pack of fierce, muscular werewolves with dark, matted fur and glowing yellow eyes awaited their adversaries. A notorious group known for their cunning strategies and ruthless nature. Led by their alpha, a massive and imposing figure with a silver-streaked mane, they were determined to claim victory. Before they could charge at each other, I appeared at the forefront, ready to end this madness and try to stop this battle without losing so many lives. I had a plan, I didn't know if it could work, but I had to at least try. I directed my attention towards the orchestrator. I already knew what to say. "Carl, listen carefully. Vader, your right-hand man, is a treacherous snake. He orchestrated
Alexa's POV...But the peace and quiet were not to last. Now officially married, although in secrecy, I could feel some form of bond with Logan. Yes, we had always been mates, but it seemed like the moment I said I do, I could feel a stronger, almost permanent bond with him. It seemed like our promise to each other over a year ago had been officially sealed; I was now forever his life mate.Each night, in each other's arms, felt different; the feel of his arms around me felt different nowadays. I could tell when he was angry, moody, sad, frightened. It was as if I could clearly read his emotions.The past few days were just like the last week, with the men and trained guards working extra hard in training and mastering new weapons and skills. Simon had once come to me and told me of his plan to convince Logan to go out and try to find out who had attacked them and why.I knew it was a waste of time; I knew Vader well enough to know that he cou
Alexa's POV...For the first twenty seconds, it seemed like all I could do was simply stare at Logan. Not only was I very shocked, but I could feel the uncertainty creeping in. Was this a joke? Was Selena somewhere in the background waiting to jump out and mock me? Was this some prank to ease off the tension created by the attack for the past few days?Logan had once or twice made too good a joke out of me. He might not have been the funniest of persons, but he sure could pull off a good prank.I shook my head involuntarily, wishing he could tell me it was all a prank. But no, there he was, still on his knee, a diamond ring still pointing towards me.Logan must have misinterpreted my silence because the next thing he did was get on his feet, tuck the ring into his back pocket, and then try to hold me. "I know these past few days have been horrible for you, and this is quite possibly the worst time on earth to bring up a topic like this; you know wha
Logan's POV...I honestly could not tell why I picked the garden. Maybe it was the many lovely memories I had of the spot with Kara when I still loved her and saw a future with her.On the other hand, Alexa seemed like a blessing in the embodiment of an angel. She was my fated mate, she bore me a child, and she still managed to make my heart skip each time I heard her time talk less of seeing her.I did not need extra time to know I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. The signs were pretty clear; she was undoubtedly the one for me.Vader was the name of the man she said she knew. I had sent out some men to dig up what else they could dig up about the man. Still, it seemed that after the blue scorpions were captured, he was nowhere to be seen until that attack on the red lotus. I had to give it to him; he was pretty good at hiding. He hid so well that he left no trail, and even after the attack, it was as if he simply evaporated or disappea
