Logan's POV...
I knew when the change began; it was the night I told her I had to return to my pack. It was not my choosing; Simon had mind linked to inform me that brows were beginning to be raised, my absence was being noticed, and I had to show up unless I wanted a new Alpha to challenge me. I believed nobody would dare do that, but it was unwise to be away from my pack for so long. I was a leader, and duty was calling to me. I hoped that Alexa could understand that.That morning, she slept, and I could not leave her side. I knew she was hurt and possibly bothered about what that meant for her and the child. But my mind was made up. I was leaving alright, but what she did not seem to understand was that I was neither leaving her behind nor was I willing to leave the child.The next day after that one-sided conversation, I could feel her withdrawal. She slept in for so long, and when she did emerge from the bedroom, she was not wearing the brightest lookAlexa's POV...The cot was rocking from where I lay. The blanket was draped across my stomach, my breasts were bare, my legs were already getting cold, but I was too weak to move a muscle or just throw the blanket over my whole self.Last night, Logan had done everything different with me. He was different with me; he was almost thankful, almost pleading with his touches, it was a new dimension, and it was slightly odd to feel that way like I was being worshipped, not just possessed and taken to all the realms of pleasure but taken care of. He did not care about himself; all his attention was on me. He gave me all and took none. I was not even aware of when I went to sleep with him hovering over me, kissing every inch of my face and whispering every good thing to my ears. It was an amazing night.There I was, lying all relaxed and sated and staring at the cot, which was moving, Alvin was certainly awake, but I could not have cared less. At least he was not
Logan's POV...When Alexa told me how futile her attempt at convincing Ginny was, I knew I had to give it a shot. I did not exactly know what her fears were, but from what Alexa had told me, she was scared of being left alone. Of course, she naturally felt like Alexa had betrayed her by wanting to leave her and follow me back to the red Lotus pack.I could not blame Alexa for telling her everything she had gone through in the pack. It was my fault that I could not protect her from all that hurt. I should have tried more to shield her.If my assumptions were correct and she had told Ginny of all her experience, it was no doubt that the old lady did not want her to leave and clearly said she was not in support of it.On the third day, after all efforts to talk to Ginny proved abortive, I decided it would be best to take her with us. That way, she could still be close to Alvin, with whom she had formed a bond and see for herself how much I would take goo
Alexa's POV...Life in the pack seemed a little different than what I could remember. The first day I arrived, I could see strange faces among the security at the entrance of the pack house.Selena was nowhere in sight; Simon welcomed us at the first gate and led us into the house. He also assisted in packing our things into our room. I was still clutching onto Alvin when Logan led me to the large mistress room in the house. The room was painted plain white, the walls decorated with several antique pieces of furniture, the floor was covered with a fluffy coffee-coloured rug, and every piece of furniture in the room was either some shade of brown or some shade of white or cream.The large king-size bed at the centre of the room was covered in a deep blue bed sheet, and the pillowcases were also a shade of blue with beautiful designs. There was a cot at the left corner of the room, and at the right corner, there was a small playing spot for A
Alexa's POV...Selena was one of the most skilled warriors I've ever known, she was not only good, but she was strong and willed. Every move she made seemed to flow with her body and her mind, her soul was part of it all, and I loved her for it.She was a strong woman, and I admired her a lot. Little wonder that our minds clicked, and we were best friends. Selena was one of my favourite persons in the world, and I treasured every moment I got with her. I had missed her greatly these past months. She knew how to lift my spirits and what to say to cheer me up, she was an amazing person, and I loved her for that."She'll come around," Simon said. He was seated just right beside me on the bench. He was sweating and holding a can of water, as he'd just gotten off his training with Logan. While Logan went to meet with the elders in council, Simon remained, watching the men and women in the field as they trained.Most mornings, the fitness room w
Logan's POV...Love was not easy. Love was not swift or fluid like the novels said. Love is more difficult like science. The more you're in, the harder it gets, and the less you feel like you have a shot at success.Love is not beautiful, but it can add beauty to one's existence. Love can be treasured, it can be wonderful, it can be the reason you wake up every morning and go to bed at night, and it can add colour to your day and bring you smiles at night.But then, all this is not without work or war, for loving Alexa had proved to me that war was inevitable for every love union. For her, I had fought. I had to be strong enough to overcome all the battle that was waged against us.The council of elders had summoned me two days after Alexa's arrival in the red lotus pack. I had tried to delay the meeting as much as I could, but then I knew it was only a matter of time before I was called to order. It was inevitable, I had to appear b
Alexa's POV...The time you're least afraid is when the demons come to remind you why you should fear them. That was the case with me. I was back home with Logan. My child was healthy and happy, and my grandmother, whom I never really had the time to know as a child, was right here with me.I could have said I was comfortable, in fact, almost happy. Selena and I had reunited, and she was dotting on Alvin, playing her role of godmother perfectly, almost like she had some form of experience before. The baby was among the people that loved him the most, although Logan was getting really busy that he rarely had the time to be with us.It was right here, when I thought I should have been happy, content and satisfied with my family, that the demons resurfaced. The nightmares plagued my dreams and kept me up at night, enough that in the morning, I felt like I hadn't slept at all.Kara.She was my demon, and although I
Logan's POV...I had successfully gotten the elders of the council to keep their hands off Alexa's case. It was not a very easy task, but with the help of Simon and some other council members who trusted me secretly, I was able to direct the old men's attention to other pressing issues in the pack.I had yet to decide when I would banish Kara from the pack. The mere thought of her seemed like I still had some connection to my past, and I didn't want that to be the case. I wanted to be free. I already had a family, something I had not enjoyed in a very long time.Since the demise of my parents, all I did was take up duties as the Alpha of the pack. I became a leader and a man every other person was looking up to, but nobody seemed to care how I was doing myself; that was the main benefit of having a family of your own, someone to care about you, someone to see you as not just an object of authority or symbol of power but to also see you as a perso
Alexa's POV...Sometimes, the price you have to pay for the ones you love could seem too much for you, especially because you may not be able to afford the hurt it will cause them if you do not pay that price.Ginny was very worried about me. Most nights, she would come into my room pretending to tuck Alvin in, but what she really wanted to do was check up on me. It was very evident that she was worried about me. It became so bothersome to the point that I regretted telling her about my nightmares and sleepless nights.Ginny felt like she owed me some form of duty. She knew and believed I was her responsibility, never mind that I was a full-grown woman with a child of my own. Without her having to say the words, I knew she regretted agreeing to come to the red lotus pack with Logan.Before I had arrived at the black orchid pack, my stay at this pack was very traumatizing, combined with the experience of my childhood with Danister. During my early we
"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
