Alexa's POV...
"Fine, I will, but you must not let anyone know; this will be hard."
The old maid finally accepted to help. My eyes beamed with happiness. "Thank you, I will be very glad if you would help me," I appreciated. She smiled. "I am doing this not because I just want to but because you really need to leave; Alpha Carl is someone you can't stay with, so when do you intend to leave?" The old maid asked, bringing down the volume of her voice."Today, I mean now," I whispered, and she gave me a surprised look."It will be challenging to leave since Alpha Carl calls for your presence. He will suspect the both of us." "How many minutes does it takes to get into the woods?" I asked. She began some calculations."Approximately five minutes, but it will be more than that because you will have to hide from many guards. I will only help you out of our pack house; I can't go beyond that." She stated. "There's no proAlexa's POV…As I proceeded to take a step, someone trapped my hands and placed a sword on my neck.I froze that instant.I knew instantly that I had been caught. Shit!"If you try anything stupid, I will slit your throat open this instant, so stay still. You were trying to escape, right?" A masculine voice asked. I hardly gulped as I began shaking."I told you, but you won't listen. It won't go down well if Alpha Carl finds out about this. Why are you just so stubborn? Just try to free yourself from the guard and run as fast as possible. That's the only way you can escape Alpha Carl's wrath." Kim whispered, and I breathed out heavily.The guard is not sure if I am escaping, so maybe I would just put up an act."What are you doing? I just sneaked out to receive fresh air. Anyone in their right senses knows it's difficult to escape from
Logan's POV...After reading the letter Alexa sent to Selina, I began to have second thoughts. Earlier, Alpha Carl promised me he would surely get Alexa, though he said it ironically. Alexa stated in the two letters that she needed Simon to help her without me finding out about it. Now I am getting it slowly; that bastard lied to her that I sold her off to him! But something else still astounds me, the letter Alexa dropped in my chambers after she disappeared. Does that mean she wasn't the one that wrote the letter? Did someone else write it? "You should remember that I told you something was wrong somewhere, she didn't write the letter you found in your room. Someone else wrote it, so you won't have to get the impression that she was kidnapped. I think Alpha Carl kidnapped her; she is passing through hell under his custody, and that's why she sent those letters. Alpha Carl must have told many lies, including you selling her off to him. You should do the needful before you lose he
Logan's POV..."If you come close to both of us, I will slit her throat this minute just like I did to that thing on the floor!" Alpha Carl threatened, and that was when I noticed a strange lady who lay dead on the floor.So he killed the lady, and he is planning to kill Alexa. Has he gone nuts?I decided to calm down. If I did otherwise, I might end up losing Alexa.I looked at Alexa and noticed her fearful expression. She must have been scared to death as Alpha Carl placed the sharp sword close to her neck.Alpha Carl slowly pulled her up and held her to himself, still placing the knife on her neck."What has gone into your head? If you hurt her again, I am gonna kill you." I threatened, and he laughed instead."Why are you here? I thought you sold her to me. I told her everything already. Let's not breach the rules of our contract,"
Alexa's POV…I couldn't hide my shocked expression when I saw Alpha Logan and Beta Simon. They were the least people I expected would come to my rescue. Although I sent a letter, I thought it would never reach them.I wasn't expecting them to come so soon, gosh! I am touched.My joy was cut short when Alpha Carl pulled me up and placed a sword on my neck; it was so close to my skin.Fear gripped me then, and I began shaking, almost peeing my pants.What is he trying to do? Did he want to slit my throat just like he did to the old maid, Sakura?I was wrong; he used me to threaten Alpha Logan and Beta Simon. He threatened to kill me if they came close, my heart began racing so fast.It got worse when he finally placed the sword on my throat, and I kept gulping. I was so afraid when he asked me to choose between going back wit
Author's POV…Alpha Logan carried Alexa on his back till they got to his horse; she still couldn't recover from the shock, wondering why he would so much as want to carry her.Simon watched them, unable to make sense of what was going on in Logan's mind."I will convey her back to our pack on my horse; the rest of you will follow behind closely."After giving his order, Alpha Logan carried Alexa and placed her gently on his brown horse.He climbed on it in front of her and whipped the horse; it trotted fast into the woods.Beta Simon sighed slowly after he left. He got on his own horse and rode away into the dark night, and the two remaining guards followed. As Alpha Logan rode his horse, Alexa kept shifting on it. She wasn't balanced on the horse because she wasn't holding onto anything for support, but Alpha Logan kept riding the horse fast, unaware of what was happening behind him.
Logan's POV…."You did it, right?" I suddenly asked Kara. She appeared astounded at first but immediately switched her facial expression to a confused one."What are you saying?" She asked. I could sense the pretence in her voice. With Kara's behaviour lately, I knew she was hiding something from me."Alexa's kidnap, you teamed up with Alpha Carl and planned everything with him, right?" I asked, trying not to raise my voice at her.She stood up abruptly. I guess she was pissed off already."How could you accuse me of such? What has come over you these days? You don't trust me anymore, and you keep accusing me all the time; you keep hurting me. If you don't want me in your life anymore, you should tell me instead of hurting me. You don't know how it hurts when you're wrongly accused." She shouted at me and soon began crying.There she goes again with her pretentious tears.I shouldn't go soft on her to get the truth from h
Author's POV…My favourite necklace, the special one, I found it on Alexa's neck. She was putting it on," Alpha Logan revealed.Simon gasped. "What the hell? You found your missing necklace on Alexa? How's that even possible?" He was confused at the same time, surprised."That's what I have been thinking for some minutes now; I will have to wait until she wakes up. She'd better have a good explanation for everything," Alpha Logan said, emphasizing his last words.Simon was speechless. How can Alexa be putting on Alpha Logan's necklace?Did she steal it or what?Gosh! He will develop a severe migraine if he keeps thinking about it."Did she escape and get into the hands of Alpha Carl or what? This is not funny at all," Simon muttered as he flexed his knuckles."How's everything going in the pack? Hope everything is in order?" Alpha Logan inquired."You still have cases to handle," Simon reminded
Alexa's POV….**THE NEXT MORNING**I slowly opened my tired eyes, slightly yawning. My sight was blurry at first, and as I slowly moved my hands, my left hand met with another."Alexa, oh, moon goddess! You're awake," I heard a feminine voice call out. It sounded familiar, though.My sight slowly cleared, and I saw a female figure sitting on the bed, holding my hands."Open your eyes; it's me, Selina!"Upon hearing that name, I returned to my senses, and my visions cleared completely."Selina?" I called out to be sure as I strained to sit up.She helped me sit on the bed I was lying on.I immediately recognized her face when I saw her and pulled her into a warm embrace.I was back to the red Lotus pack once again, finally able to leave Alpha Carl's custody.Gosh! I am relieved that I could escape from him, all thanks to Alpha Logan and Beta Simon; they came to my rescue at the right time."I missed yo
"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
