* * * * * Lucy's POV * * * * *Logan looked surprised by my sudden outburst. Perhaps he wasn't expecting it.Did he really think I would not find out?That he could succeed in keeping it a secret from me?Well, too bad I had already found out."Lucy, what is your problem?" He asked calmly and dropped his suitcase on the small couch."What is my problem? You cheat on me and yet, you ask what my problem Is?" I yelled.His face went pale after hearing that. I am certain that he now knows that I have found out his dirty secret."How could you do that to me Logan? How could you cheat on me with that pathetic excuse of a woman?It would have been a bit better if you had cheated on me with an Omega, but a woman? So cheap and disgusting!You know what, I'm going to make her pay for this, I will kill her for having the guts to seduce you!" I yelled"No Lucy, you won't do such a thing!" He rebukedI could see the guilt in his eyes. So he wasn't even hiding it?"Why not Logan? Tell me why I
* * * * * Logan's POV * * * * *I sat on my bed and sighed in relief after Lucy had left.I am glad that I was able to convince her, I had to lie and say terrible things about crystal just to save her life.I could see the anger and hatred in Lucy's eyes, if I had not stopped her, she would have gone ahead and killed Crystal.I regret every word I said. I could never think of Crystal as a substitute, she was the only one I really wanted, but society and choices that my late parents made can't let us be together.I could also never think of hurting Crystal or killing her baby like I had promised to Lucy, if in any way Crystal should conceive a child for me, I would accept him or her.I would not care what society would say or what rules I have to break but I would never abandon my baby's mother, especially when it's the woman I love so much. I just don't know what to do.Should I go ahead and cancel the deal my parents had with the Crescent Moon Pack?Doing that would create a new
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"How can I help you?" I asked bluntly, trying to hold back my anger.I just hope she doesn't send me on any silly errands this evening, because I would not even consider doing it."I called you here and gave you a job!" She said,Ha! Like she had done me a big favor."Then what? You stabbed me in the back and tried to steal my mate. Where did you even get the guts to betray me? I thought I warned you not to try and betray me?" She yelled.I just remained silent watching her ramble, I was too sad to fight with anyone right now, especially someone as senseless as her."Why are you quiet? Did the cat cut your tongue? Huh? Why did you not say no when he asked you to have sex with him? Do you have any dignity at all? You are so cheap!" She spat.Maybe she was right. Maybe I really have no dignity, maybe I am too cheap.I just stood there and let her rain insults on me. Silence has always been the best answer to a fool, I even doubt that Logan isn't us
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I was still watching in amazement as Michael brought out his phone from his breast pocket and dialed a number, then got on a call with someone."Yes, do you think you can have a position for an undergraduate who will be available mainly in the afternoons?.... Yes she's smart and a good friend of mine too."I was flattered. But is he really going to get a job for me so easily? The person hasn't even seen me or asked for my qualifications, so how would they offer me a job over the phone?"Oh alright, hold on a bit, let me know if she's comfortable with that position or if you should find something better."What?Does that mean he already found something over a single phone call?"Hey Crystal, how would you like to work in a library or would you prefer to work as a secretary in an industry? If you're not ok with any of those, I could make more calls.""What? I will take the one at the library," I spoke immediatelyI can't believe he has found me a j
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *After lectures were over for the day, it was already 5 p.m. in the evening. Michael and I walked out of the school gate and headed for home, things were still awkward between us ever since he tried to kiss me.I was actually feeling bad about how I had pushed him off, not like I wanted to kiss him but it made me feel ungrateful. I mean he had just found me a job, something I needed desperately and yet I couldn't let him kiss me.But come to think of it, why did he try to kiss me in the first place? What should I make out of this? Does he want us to be more than just friends? Is he in love with me?If so then I am scared that I would end up hurting him, I only like him as a friend. He is very nice and always makes me laugh like he did today, he has made me forget my worries."Crystal, I want to apologize again for today. I should not have done what I did, it's just that I couldn't help it," he finally broke the silence as we walked home.He couldn
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"Crystal, do not test my patience, open the door now!" He yelled while banging on the door.Quickly I started to put away everything that belonged to Aidan, throwing them into a large basket. I did not want Logan to come in and see any of that or he would discover the existence of my baby. I discarded everything that could raise suspicions, Logan is quite smart so with any little hint, he could put my whole secret together.I had put everything away just in time before I heard a loud bang on the door and it opened.He had broken the door open. What kind of a man is this? Actually animal!!He walked in and stood staring at me angrily. What does he think he's doing? If there's anyone that should be angry here, it's me. He has no right to be mad at me."Crystal!" He growled. "Why haven't you been picking up my calls?" He asked in a loud voice.I wonder what the neighbors would think if they heard the noise from all this drama. I had been living pea
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I thought I was the only one good at lying, but here I found someone who is an expert in the field.Does he really want me to believe his words?Does he want me to trust him again?Does he think I would fall for his lies again?Then he better think again, because that's not going to happen. I have been deceived one too many times to be fooled again in this lifetime, especially from the person of Alpha Logan Stewart.So he wants me to believe that he had only said those words to save me?What do I look like? A fool?"Please tell me that you believe me Crystal, tell me that you see the love I have for you. Look into my eyes and tell me that you don't see it, the feelings are true and it's clearly written in my eyes."Look into his eyes indeed.He knows very well that his eyes are intimidating to me, the moment I look into them, I feel weak and find myself submitting against my will, then he takes advantage of it to make me love him again, only for him
* * * * Logan's POV * * * * *I walked out of Crystal's house feeling relieved. I am glad that I had settled the issues with her and we were back together on good terms.I have been worried since morning when she did not show up at work and she was not picking my calls either. We had dinner plans today and I was really excited about it but when I did not see her in the evening I had the feeling that something was wrong.I suspected my so-called soon-to-be Luna had done something silly so I decided to confirm by visiting Crystal.On my arrival to the building which I believed was where she lived, I saw her not too far away, she was walking away from the house and I wondered where she was going.I dialed her number so that I could inform her that I was waiting for her back at home but to my surprise, after seeing her phone ringing, she threw it back into her bag, she totally ignored my call and that's when I was certain that there was something wrong.Why else would she ignore my
* * * * * Omniscient Narrator * * * * * * The werewolves defeated the Vampires that night. The blood moon Pack recovered their Lunar moonstone and Crystal took the wolf clan sword of her step parents, and they returned to their respective homes happily.Their victory was proudly celebrated by the werewolves. The incident made Crystal very popular, she was a role model to all the housewife lunas. With her actions, they understood the power of a mate and the influence she can have on her Alpha.The New Dawn Pack recovered and rose to the first position, with Logan as their Alpha. The Blood Moon Pack was in second position and they had a lot of respect for the New Dawn Pack.Crystal did not only become the mate of Alpha Logan but the next Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, that helped her get more popularity in the werewolf society. Her Pack was the third in line to the highest rank.The Crescent Moon Pack was the fourth most popular. Lucy realised that she had no chances of being with Logan
* * * * * Omniscient Narrator * * * * *It was night and darkness had covered the environment already. As planned, the werewolves of the Blood Moon pack and the New Dawn Pack teamed up and burst into the vampire Lord's Castle.Some in their wolf forms, while the others preferred to stay humanoid. They were surprised to meet warriors from the vampire clan who were readily waiting for them, the two species clashed in a horrible war.Screams, wails and howls could be heard as they dug their canines into each other in the brutal assault.Heads were flying off, necks were snapping and blood flooded the castle. The scent of death filled the air.Crystal, who had made it into the castle with the help of Blake, ran into Rohan's sitting-room.Blake was in his wolf form. His wolf was small but very strong as strength runs in his family blood.He walked behind Crystal, protecting her. As they stepped into the mansion, a vampire made to attack Crystal but Blake dived on him and bit off his hea
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I returned to the castle and met Blake and Simon standing in front of the building. I could smell the scent of a stranger in the Castle. It was not anyone from the New Dawn Pack as they all had a similar scent."Crystal, you are back." Blake said and took my handbag from me."Yes, who is here?" I queried."Oh! It's the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, he got here just a few minutes ago," Blake replied and smiledSo he honored my invitation? Well of course, I knew he would. He is just as helpless as we are.I checked my wrist watch and it was still afternoon. I thought I had instructed Blake to tell him that the meeting should be in the evening, well since he is here now, I should just go ahead with it."Where is he?" I asked."He is in the main sitting room.""Alright, please take my handbag to Logan's Chambers, then come and join me in the meeting." I instructed and he noddedBlake turned around and headed towards Logan's Chambers. I took a step fo
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I arrived at Logan's Chambers and walked into the bedroom. Aidan was still sleeping, I dropped my handbag on the table and slumped onto the bed.Perhaps I am cursed or I bring bad luck to good people. Logan had to go through all this because of me.First, he lost his strength in order to protect my son from my evil step parents and now, he has been imprisoned by a vampire because of me.Whatever special powers it is that I have, they have caused me more pain than good.I don't know what to do right now. If I don't give Rohan what he wants, then he would kill Logan but I can't do it.I don't care much about losing my powers, rather I am hesitant because of the way through which he intends to take it.He was going to mate with me, perhaps not even a one-time thing and I can't let any other man touch me, if not Logan.Apart from that, if I decide to give him what he wants and he lets Logan go, he might try to hurt Logan in the future. I mean, the tw
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"Logan!!" I screamed, while wandering around in the woods.I refuse to believe that something has happened to him, he has to be around somewhere."Please listen to me Crystal, we need to return to the castle, Logan is not in the woods and it's not safe for you here. We can come up with a plan to locate him when we are back in the castle," Blake suggested."No Blake, he needs our help so we need to find him." I said in panicI am sure that my step parents have a hand in this. Who else could have abducted Logan and where have they taken him to?I should call my parents!!I brought out my phone and just then it started ringing. It was Michael Calling and I wondered what he was calling for.Did he think I still had no idea of his true intentions towards me?I decided to ignore his call but on second thought, maybe I should just pick it up and know what he wants to say.I accepted the call and put it on loudspeaker. "I have your mate, come to my house
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * * I woke up in the morning and saw Logan pacing around in the room with his phone in his hand. He looked worried and I understand there are so many reasons to be worried at this moment, but which one of them is keeping him worked up right now?I got down from the bed and rubbed my sleepy eyes, then I walked towards him barefoot.He noticed my presence and turned to me. "Hey, you are up," he said, and then looked towards Aidan who was still sleeping."Yes, good morning. What are you so worked up about this early morning?" I queried and hung my arm on his neck."Crystal, I have been trying to contact the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack since last night, I want to warn him about your step parent's plan but he is not picking up his calls," Logan grumbledI could see he was uneasy. They were not on good terms with the blood Moon Pack but he still wanted to save them, that is really thoughtful of him."Do you have any idea why he wouldn't want to pick your
* * * * Crystal's POV * * * * * "What are you doing here?" My stepmom asked with an angry face."Oh, I had come to see you too. I came to say congratulations now that you have succeeded in your evil plans, I hope you are happy now?" I spoke with gritted teeth."Yes dear, we are very happy because our wolf Clan's sword has been Awakened and it would have never been possible without you.Logan's father was the one who made our clan lose its worth in the past, I bet you never knew that." She laughed evilly."So that is why you decided to get revenge?" I queried"Yes, we got our first revenge by arranging the accident that killed them.""What?" I gasped. "You were responsible for their death?""That is right, and guess who we wanted to kill next… Um nevermind, I'll tell you. It's his son Logan, but it was difficult to achieve that and that's why we were excited when we heard that he was the father of your child.We could finally get our revenge on him and it's all thanks to you. The re
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * * "Mummy, where are you going?" Aidan asked me, as I stood in front of the mirror combing my hair backwards."Aidan, I want to go to the house and get some stuff," I replied."What? No mummy, do not go there… Grandpa and Grandma are bad people!""Don't worry honey, I will be fine, okay?" I replied and smiled."Aidan is right, you shouldn't go there." Logan said as he walked in.I could notice he was worried. Did the meeting not go well?"Relax Logan, I will be fine, I can take care of myself and it's not like they need me for any other thing," I replied."You can't be sure, those people are heartless, they might have other plans.""And I will handle it, I have been with them for years. I know how to tackle their problems. Forget about that, why do you look so worried?" I asked and dropped the comb, then turned to him."I don't know what to do anymore Crystal, the news has already spread throughout the clans. Our pack is in a state of crisis, every
* * * * * Omniscient Narrator * * * * *Crystal's step parents were seated in the large dark sitting room, they were in Count Rohan's Castle, they had actually known the vampire from beginning as the both parties needed something from each other.Crystal's step parents wanted to attain the highest position in the werewolf society, while Count Rohan needed Crystal's special powers to secure his tribe from falling into the hands of his illegitimate half-brother, Draco."Martha, please call him and let him know that we are here," her mate, the Alpha of the red moon Pack said to her.She nodded and grabbed her handbag to get her phone, but was surprised it was nowhere to be found. She had misplaced it."What is wrong?" Phillip queried."I... I think I left my phone behind," she replied with a worried face."But you made use of it right before we left, check properly." He advised.She searched over and over again but it was nowhere to be found."Don't worry then, we should just wait for
