Alexa's POV...Alvin, my baby, my joy, my pride, my world had just turned one month, and it was a big deal for me. Most times, Ginny made fun of how much I dotted on him, that I was smothering him with attention, and it was not the best thing to do.But then, I could not quite understand her. How could I stay away from my baby when I had waited a full nine months just to meet him? But she was right; in just a matter of one month, I had lost so much weight that the elephant weight I was concerned about putting on was no longer an issue; I had lost all the extra weight.This, according to Ginny, was because I was not taking good care of myself anymore, I was missing my meals just to make sure that the baby was not awake and looking for me, and she also pointed out that since I was breastfeeding, I had to eat enough and healthy for the both of us.In my defence, I tried, but then it was difficult to look away from the child, from such cuteness that he exuded
Alexa's POV..."Alexa, another one just came in," Ginny tried to call out from the living room; all I could hear was her muffled voice from the soft music that was playing in the kitchen.I turned off the music box and tried to listen to what she was saying. "...they just keep coming in; I don't think you'll be able to clear out all these orders today," she said, her voice chirpy.I was much happier than she was. My business was booming, 'our business' like I usually said. After all, she was saddled with Alvin for all the hours I needed to bake.Cakes, waffles, muffins, cookies, spring rolls, doughnuts, scorched eggs, I was getting one order or the other since the second week that I started delivering my supplies at the bakery down the road.It was not a big plan. I simply had baked too much one day when I saw a recipe for cookies in a baker's book I read from Ginny's small shelf. In my excitement, I tried all the flavours listed there. I did
Logan's POV...I could finally admit to myself that I was getting miserable. All the men I had to send out to search for Alexa returned with anything but the woman herself.It was getting increasingly uncomfortable for me, and the council members had somehow gotten air of the fact that I was still looking for Alexa. The elders had sent someone to me for a meeting later that evening, but I had no intentions of showing up.Selena and Simon were both very supportive. Selena had taken it upon herself to travel to other territories, which she thought were the possible places where Alexa would settle down because she had always mentioned how much she loved to visit the other packs. However, nobody knew if she was there because they were yet to find her.I was short of posting her face on paper, writing missing person and pasting it all over and beyond. It seemed like some force in the universe was very bent on separating us. It was like the more I searched, the
Alexa's POV...Time indeed flies. In just a matter of days, I was making a lot of money from supplying cookies and other bakes to the pastries shop. Ginny, as usual, was saddled with the responsibility of babysitting Alvin. She kept reassuring me that she was okay and happy to help. But I tried my best to make sure I did not overwork her with all the load.The sales at the pastries shop were improving. My business partner, who helped me sell my bakes, assisted me in getting a messenger boy who would take my orders from the shop and come over to Ginny's house to collect the packaged goods to deliver. Every day, orders came from both the customers and the pastry shop owner himself.If not for anything, I learned a valuable lesson in that small town, growth was easy, was the work needed? Yes, would it be all rosy? No, but in the end, all you need to do to grow is take life one step at a time, just like I had done when I arrived in this pack with my pregnancy.
Logan's POV...The investigator reported back the next day, he sounded cheerful, and that was a clear indication that he had good news. I was just hoping that his good news would not be more tracks he had found but rather Alexa herself.My wish came to pass that morning; the first thing he said when he entered the room was to tell me to get a Jotter and a pen, I did not have to do that. I was pretty sure anything he said would be etched in my skull, so long as it had to do with Alexa's where about.He read out the location to me loud and clear. It was in a small town adjacent to the black orchid pack. During that visit, he reminded me of his final instalment of fees and told me how good he was at his job and how much I should trust him if I ever had a reason to find someone again. He also was about to pitch the whole recommendation talk before I ended the conversation with him.First, he and the other three men had sucked me dry with their very expensive
Alexa's POV... Being with the one you loved came with a totally celestial feeling. It was out of this world, and words could simply not explain it. Right there, in Logan's arms, with his lips gliding over mine, I felt complete, I felt at peace, I felt whole. I poured all my emotions into that kiss, my months of longing and yearning for him and to my loneliness that I had endured for the past months. It was almost as if I was dreaming. I could not believe that he was really right in front of me, with his tongue exploring my mouth, his lips on mine, and his arms around my waist, clutching me closely like he did not want to let go. When we finally broke out of that kiss, I could exhale, it was then that my senses returned, and I looked around to make sure we hadn't made a spectacle. Apart from the three teenagers that were a couple meters away and smiling at us, we hadn't caught any other person's attention, thankfully. "I've missed you more than wor
Alexa's POV...The next seven minutes were the longest seven minutes of my life. Logan helped me pull the cart along as we walked to my home. When we finally reached, it was as if my feet were glued to the ground. I couldn't move any further, my hands were suddenly sweaty, and my legs had turned to jelly.Logan and his usual perceptive nature must have noticed because he took my hands in his and gave me a kiss on the knuckles. "I'm here. Everything is okay," he said, pulling me towards the house with his other hand. He ushered me to the doorstep."It is actually not much, but this is where I've lived. My grandmother has been kind enough to let me stay," I stated, trying to make conversation and ease my nerves before I opened the door. He simply nodded as I turned to look at him. I knocked on the door once, and on the second tap, Ginny opened. I winced, hoping that since I hadn't rung the doorbell, she'd take time to hear me and come get the door, the
Alexa's POV...Even as I stood up and made Logan follow me, I could feel the overwhelming sense of fear envelop me. What would I do if he decided that the child was not his? What would I do if he felt angry that I did not inform him of such significant detail? What would happen to me if this led to the end of our relationship? These were some of the questions passing through my mind as I led him to where Alvin slept."What are you up to? You have a grandfather I don't know about too?" He asked, his voice teasing. I could only smile at him, although my heart banged like an old gong. I moved inside the room and then went to where the cot was. In there was Alvin, asleep, his eyelids beautifully closed, hiding his vibrant golden brown eyes."I want you to meet Alvin," I said, my voice cracking just above a whisper. Logan took careful steps towards me. His eyes betrayed his confusion; he clearly did not know what was going on.I waited beside the cot pat
"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
