* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *It felt like someone was watching me from the woods but whenever I looked in that direction, I saw no one.So I decided to quicken my pace and ignore whoever was there.The highway was quiet today with few cars passing, the sun was up and blistering but yet my body felt cold as the East wind emerged from the woods.I was having this strange feeling and goose pimples were awkwardly all over my body.I don't understand why I feel this way, it's really strange.Suddenly I heard a loud screeching sound behind me, I turned around to see Logan leap into the road just between me and the car that had been trailing behind me.It looks like the car was about to hit me but he blocked it with his body. His strength was able to knock the car to another direction but he also got pushed away by the impact of the strike.He rolled off and before I could see it coming, his hand hit me making me fall to the ground while he rolled forward.The man in the car looked
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I arrived at the front door of my step parent's house. My heart was still beating loudly as a result of what had just happened.Was my actions wrong?Leaving him out there in that condition. He deserved it anyway, so why should I feel bad? Why should I feel guilty?Now come to think of it, he is a werewolf. He would heal very fast and I would not have been much of a help to him anyway, I mean what could I have done? Carry him home or heal his wounds with sorcery? I couldn't have helped him in any way so I should stop feeling bad.I looked at my bruised knee and elbows, they were still bleeding. I wonder who would want to kill me, take aside the psychopath I pissed off months ago, I don't remember getting myself into trouble with any other person, so why the heck did that man try to kill me?If he was contracted, then who the heck hired him to kill me and why?At first I thought it was all arranged by Logan, but then after thinking it through, I a
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"Mum, what do you want from Logan? I don't see why you would need any help or favor from him," I said."Actually Crystal, I want you to ask the Alpha Wolf to use his Alpha blood to awaken the wolf clan sword of our Pack, that will make our wolf clan greatly enhanced."What?How could she even think of that?First, I don't see myself requesting anything ever from Logan, secondly that's a very strange request.If Logan does that, it would cause damage to his body. Awakening the wolf clan sword with his blood would make him very weak, he won't be too far from an ordinary man."What are you saying mum? You know that it's dangerous," I half-yelled.She came closer to me and sat on the chair, then placed a hand on my shoulder."It's not that dangerous Crystal, it won't kill him, it would only take strength out of him. Also, why are you even concerned about him? I mean you hate him right? He's your enemy and he has been taking advantage of you, so use t
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself several times to confirm that this was not really happening, that I was probably dreaming.How could this be the woman that has raised me since I was eight?She was always caring, nice and selfless, she was never greedy or desperate for power like this.Now she acts like she has been possessed by an evil demon or someone has cast a spell on her, but what if I was wrong all those years?What if my idea of her was not the actual truth? Perhaps I never really knew her, maybe this is the real her but she has only been pretending all these years.I used to look up to this woman as a mentor, she taught me to value the little I have but today she wants me to hurt someone else just for the sake of power.Someone cannot become this evil in just one day which can only mean that this is how she has always been, this is her true nature, how come I never saw it?"Because it's not right Mum, I can't do it," I repliedAltho
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I am yet to get a response from my stepmom. Why is she so quiet? Are my suspicions correct? I know that they are."I asked you a question Mum, are you responsible for the recent attacks on me? Did you pay the man to run me over with his car? Answer me honestly Mum.If I am wrong, then please tell me that I'm wrong but don't just keep quiet like that, say something!" I half-yelled.I cannot believe this is happening, I wished it was just a bad nightmare and when I wake up in the morning, that I would find my loving, caring, selfless step mum back again."Listen Crystal, this is also your mission so don't take it like I am asking you for a favor, it's your responsibility too!"I see! So she just ignored my question and preferred to lecture me instead. By the way, how exactly is this my mission?The Alpha in question is not a rival to my parents pack and even if he was, it's not enough reason for me to do what they are asking of me.We have alread
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"Mum, do not lie to me. Is this the truth? Am I really a werewolf?" I queried curiously.A part of me wanted to believe it but it doesn't make sense enough to be believed. I mean, I don't even have any characteristics of a werewolf.Strength? Definitely not!Speed? That is not me.So how am I supposed to believe her?"Yes Crystal, it's the truth, you were born as a werewolf but your parents sealed your powers and identity, they made you human… Although, it's temporary," she repliedWhat?I am a werewolf?"Mum-two, please tell me the truth. Why would my parents seal off my powers as you have said, then send me away. They made it clear that I don't have a wolf before they sent me here, that is to say that as a human, I was useless to them and they got rid of me, so what are you saying now?""I'm sorry Crystal but that was not the truth, it's just something we agreed to do in order to protect you. Yes, your parents did not send you away to stay with u
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *Now it is all starting to make sense, I think my stepmom is telling the truth.I remember two years ago when I was eighteen, I was feeling very strange on a moon night. For the first time, I decided to visit the club which I still find strange. Why a club of all the places I could go?Why did that idea come to my head?But now I finally have the answer to that question. I was feeling restless because I was a werewolf, the full moon forced werewolves to shift to their wolf forms but I couldn't because my powers were sealed off.Then Logan, meeting Logan in that club on that very night was not a coincidence, it was destined to happen.I mean, fate had brought us together because... Because he's my mate!!How come I had not realized this earlier? Alpha Logan Stewart is my destined soulmate, that is why we were unable to control ourselves that night.We had mated because our wolves wanted that.That must be the mystery behind that night, fate had led u
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *My stepmom got the first aid box and started to clean my injury. I felt a stinging pain as the methylated spirit touched my bruised knee and I groaned softly.I kept a steady glare at my stepmom's face, she was avoiding eye contact with me.So she really tried to kill me in order to get me out of the picture? It's still a surprise to me.Now she wants me to hurt my own mate. Even when I did not know I was a werewolf, a few minutes ago when I had no idea that Logan was my soulmate, that we were destined for each other, at that time I still had no intentions of doing her wish.Even though I despise Logan, I would not dare to cause him such pain, so how about now that I know he is my mate? Now that I know my real identity as a werewolf?Does she think I will dare to cause my mate harm? Then she better think again, because she is thinking wrong.I will not do what she wants from me. Perhaps she thought that if she revealed my identity to me, then I wil
* * * * * 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
