It was supposed to be my birthday, not like it mattered, but yeah. I paced around my room, feeling uncomfortable. I had just come home from work and was feeling grumpy.
Maybe it was because mom and dad had not bothered to see me for the past two years, which made me feel unwanted.Mommy and daddy had gone off to one of those late-night parties at a country club, I mean my foster parents, so it was just me at home.The boredom and the eerie silence added to my discomfort. I hurried into the bathroom and took a quick shower, but I still felt uneasy. I had a strange feeling that I could not explain, a feeling of unease and sickness that was not going away somehow.When I could not take it anymore, I dressed nicely and went out into the cold street with only my bag in my hand.I thought about where to go since I had no friends. Going back to the restaurant even though my shift was over for the day was not a good idea as I knew my boss would not be happy if he saw there after my work hours. He was a strange man.Then I heard a voice whisper something in my head. I should go to the club. Well. I had never tried it, maybe because I was not of age then, but I guess there was always a first time. I could drink myself into a stupor.It might just make me feel better. Maybe it might help me get rid of those strange feelings I had. The next day was a holiday, so I had nothing to worry about. I could sleep all day.I flagged down a cab and hopped in."The nearest club, please," I told the driver and leaned my head on the seat foam.The driver looked at me and shook his head as he smiled mischievously. He might have thought I was an irresponsible teenager who was going to waste her life in a club that night, but that did not bother me at all.I looked out of the window and admired the stars as they twinkled in the sky. It was a full moon, and that reminded me of my home.The night of the full moon was something special to werewolves. It meant a lot to them, but I was a human, so I paid little attention to their customs and beliefs.The car stopped, and I jerked out of my thoughts. I looked out the window to see a club full of life and fun."Here we are," the cab driver informed me with a smile plastered on his face.For the first time in a long time, I did not return a smile of my own. I just paid the cab fare and got out.There were many flashy cars parked in the club's parking lot. One of them caught my eye. It looked somehow familiar. But I ignored the thought.The chance of running into someone familiar at that place was very thin because the few people I knew were not the party type.I made my way to the door of the club and suddenly froze. My heartbeat became louder and faster as a strange scent wafted into my nose. My uneasiness increased, awakening strange emotions in me.Maybe coming here was not such a good idea, but as I was already here, I decided to go in.I entered the club and realized that the stench of alcohol wafted everywhere and filled the air. Half-naked women were dancing to appease rich, drunken old men. Some couples were kissing, both straight and gay. The music was loud and the light bulbs emitted different colors of light.'So that was what the clubs were like? Hmm.'A few men looked at me with a smirk. I made my way to the bar, ignoring all the eyes on me, and encountered a half-drunk bartender.Strange that even the staff were drunk. How would they be drunk and work?"Hello, pretty lady, what can I get you?" he asked with a coy smile. His breath smelled of whiskey."Um, anything strong enough to clear my head." I knew little about alcohol, so I let the bartender choose.It was the stupidest decision I had made in my life.The bartender pulled out a small glass and gave me a shot of a colorless drink. I was sure it was alcohol, but I thought it was too small to have such a big effect on me?I raised my eyebrows meaningfully at him as I scrutinized the glass. He gave me a nod of approval as if he understood my question. What did he take me for, a baby?I confidently drank it all in one gulp and was about to order one more, but suddenly I felt a burning sensation in my chest. I coughed out loud, with my face scrunched up.Great. I thought it was supposed to make me feel less groggy and stop the discomfort I was feeling, but that strange feeling did not go away. Instead, I started coughing.I turned around and my burning heart froze the moment I saw those dreamy blue eyes.He was sitting not far away, on a long couch. They probably reserved it for VIP clients.He looked dapper and hot in a black suit with a red shirt inside. He looked drunk as I noticed there were three empty vodka bottles on his table, which were made of short glasses with delicate designs, looking different from the rest in the club.It had been several weeks since I had seen him because, although I fought the urge not to approach him, he always seemed to be irritated by my presence.I walked over to him and sat down next to him, feeling nervous. I hoped he would not make a scene there. Since I did not know anyone else around, I needed his company. Maybe a little chatting and alcohol would make the uncomfortable feeling go away."Logan," I called him, and he looked in my direction.As soon as his gaze met mine, that strange feeling became more apparent. Then my whole body felt restless. Something itched in my head as I felt confused about what was happening to me."You?" he muttered in a half-sober tone. It was obvious that he was drunk."Um, can I sit here with you, please? I feel like talking to someone and I don't know anyone else here except you. I promise I won't bother you," I asked.He grunted as he looked at me. He seemed to be contemplating his answer."Hmm. So why did you come here?" he asked."Um, I wanted to clear my head and thought this would be the right place. How about you?" I replied to him."Same," he replied with his usual poker face.How was I supposed to know if he was happy or sad? His face was always devoid of emotions. Wait, why did I care about his feelings? I should have gotten drunk and gone back to my cozy bed.We had a brief discussion about each other, and then, at one point, I found myself staring at him endlessly. His long, erect nose, his blond hair tousled, as well as his little sideburns. I think he had not shaved in a while because his cheeks were usually bald, but not that day.Then he was staring at me. My hand was trembling, fighting the urge to touch him.Slowly, I moved over and sat next to him, as he had his gaze fixed on my face, saying nothing. Our shoulders touched as I turned to him.Unconsciously, my hands wanted to caress his cheeks. I felt my body acting of its own volition. I could not fight the impulse to touch him anymore.My hand came into contact with his face, and at that very moment, my discomfort disappeared.That strange sensation bothering me was no more there, but soon a new feeling replaced it. I felt my body enveloped in warmth and my breathing quickened.I stroked his impressive cheekbones and, unable to help myself, I moved closer to him.I could not control myself, and he was too drunk to stop me.As I caressed his face, I suddenly felt a strong desire for... sex? My thoughts and desire surprised me.It was beyond my control as I felt my body was doing things on its own, things my mind did not approve of."What are you doing?" he stammered in his half-drunk state.Although I did not know what I was doing, I still did it.Suddenly, I leaned forward for his lips. I found myself stuck to his body as I savaged him with my lips. It was a brutal, hungry desire for his lips and his whole body.At first, he tried to resist me and my kiss, but I could not stop. The more he moved back, the more I leaned my body on him.My hands were exploring his body as I struggled with his shirt buttons.Unable to resist me any longer, he too responded to my kisses. His hands went behind me and massaged my back. Then his broad hands supported my spine and pulled me closer to him.I did not understand what his touch did to me. I felt sparkles of electricity run through me and the heat increasing with each kiss he planted on my neck.Soon we were both in a dark room. I did not even remember how and when we got there. I just found us there.I helped him take off his clothes while he took off mine. Even though the room was dark, I could still see the lust in his eyes, but it was nothing compared to the desire in my eyes.I made him sit on the bed, then pushed him down gently and got on top of him.I massaged his broad, manly chest and kissed his nipples.I did not know what happened to me, but whatever it was, I had become a monster. A horny monster and I could not help it.I moved my right hand down to his manhood and caressed it as I kissed him. He moaned like an animal.His lips made my body ache so much between my legs, and I wanted him inside me immediately. I could not wait any longer.Slowly, I got up and sat on his already erect cock. I felt something snap inside me and a painful moan escaped my lips.It was huge, and it was my first time. Soon the feeling of pain dissipated, and I felt like I was on cloud nine. I let my body adjust to him before I began to move my hips slowly, then gently bobbed my body up and down, riding him as if my life depended on it.Our moans filled the air. I felt as if a strange spirit had possessed me, but I had never felt better.He rolled me over and took control, thrusting hard into me as I moaned. After what seemed like hours, I felt him release his seed inside me as I also had my orgasm, and then he climbed off me.***LOGAN'S POVI woke up with a terrible headache. As I opened my eyes, it surprised me to see Crystal sleeping peacefully on my chest. We were both covered by a white blanket.What the fuck!!!I pushed her off of me but she did not wake up. I jumped out of the bed and grabbed my pants.At that moment, some scenes from the night before flashed in front of my eyes. No! No! No! No! It cannot be true!"Crystal!" I shouted angrily, as I wore my suit pants.My loud voice startled her, and she woke up immediately. As soon as she woke up, she grabbed the sheet and wrapped her body in it, then got out of bed."Why did you do this?" I yelled at her."Do? Do what?"Was she still sleeping, or was she blind?"Don't play innocent. You seduced me last night so you could finally achieve your goal, didn't you?" I yelled at her.I could not believe she went that far just to become my Luna."No! No, I...""You what? That's the reason you've been stalking me all these months? You've been waiting for an opportunity like this so you could come into my life?""That's not true, Logan, I-""Don't say my name!" I spat at her.Tears formed in her eyes, but those crocodile tears of a cheap lady who had no morals could not fool me."You saw last night that I was drunk and vulnerable. So you seduced me. Are you this shameless?" I was furious.I could not believe I had mated with a human, something I had been avoiding for years. She might have used some kind of special potion on me or I would never have consented to that!"Logan. I know what happened between us isn't right, but you're getting it all wrong. I didn't seduce you. It... It just happened." She protested.I felt irritated at the sight of her. How could she stoop so low?I ignored her pleas and put on my clothes and threw cash at her from my wallet."I don't care what happened between us last night. Use this money to pay for the room and keep the rest as pay. I don't want to see your filthy face again, you shameless cunt." I spat and left as she cried behind.I cursed the day I met that girl. I always knew she would be trouble in my life. If anyone in my clan found out about that one-night stand, it would not be good for me.I thought of leaving the country. I had the Asian branch of my company to concentrate on and expand. California had brought me nothing but trouble.TBC!Crystal's POVI hurried out of the restaurant and flagged down a cab. My work shift was over for the day, so I headed to the university. I had got admission to study for a three-year course, and it was my last year at the university.Those three years since the embarrassing incident between Logan and me happened were the most difficult ones. The result of that incident was the birth of my son, Aidan.Our tragic one-night stand had led to me getting unexpectedly pregnant. I thought it was the end of my life then. My birth parents were very disappointed in me, not like they ever loved me. Logan already hated me for being a filthy bitch, which I was not, and wanted nothing to do with me. The birth of Aidan brought nothing but shame to my family.Life became hard for me, and I had no one to ask for help. However, my step-parents were still supportive.After that horrible night, I never saw Logan again. I used to stand outside the restaurant waiting for him to come out from his castle, bu
*****Crystal*****"Mummy!!" I heard that alluring tiny voice scream in sheer happiness as I walked into the house."Hey Aidan!" I smiled and spread out my arms for an embrace.He ran towards me and I lifted him in the air and embraced him while he giggled."I heard you have been a naughty boy today, is that true?" I asked, feigning anger."No mommy, I promise I behaved, now can I get that candy you promised" he asked pouting his lips."Awwn, now how can I say no to that cute face" I said, pinching him softly on his cheek. "You can have a candy"I put him down and brought out two Candy bars from my bag, then gave it to him."Thanks Mommy" he exclaimed in excitement, revealing his missing tooth."Wow my arm hurts after lifting you, I think you are getting heavier every day" I said, messing up his tousled blonde hair with my palm. He gave me one of his breathtaking smiles.I guess he took over the smile thing from me, but every other feature he possessed was taken from Logan.Speakin
** ** ** ** ** Crystal's POV ** ** ** ** ** **"Sir! Sir please don't do this to me, I really need this job" I pleaded."I am sorry Crystal, but you can not continue to work here," he announced.I was shocked, how is this possible? Everything was fine yesterday, and even this morning, although I was a bit late to work but the boss had exchanged greetings with me, he had been very nice to me and didn't even question me for the lateness, so why is he firing me all of a sudden?I pleaded for half an hour but he did not change his mind, the same man who had always been very nice to me, even though he was strict with other workers, he hardly found issues with me, so what could be the reason behind his sudden change of attitude? his actions!I took the envelope and walked sluggishly out of his office. I went straight to the locker and carried my bag in tears. Ignoring Mrs Maggie's call, I ran out of the restaurant.What am I supposed to do now? My step parents don't earn much to take care o
** ** ** ** ** Crystal's POV ** ** ** ** **"I am sorry ma'am, but there is no vacancy left" the bald-headed man replied.I felt very disappointed."Alright thank you" I muttered and walked out of the office.As a college student, finding a decent job in California is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.I have tried at several establishments but it's either they don't hire part-time workers or they need only men, or even worse, there ain't any vacancy left. Why is life so difficult? I really need to find a job soon, my saved income has run out and I need to get Aidan's food. I don't even have enough for the daily necessity, talk more of my fees, what am I supposed to do now?Walking out of the industry, I noticed a red car that looked familiar to me. I have been seeing that exact car everywhere I went for the past two days. Who could be in it and what does he or she want with me?My phone started ringing, it was Rhea calling."Hey girl" I said after clicking the g
** ** * ** * Crystal's POV ** ** * ** *I slumped onto the couch the moment I arrived home.Today was yet another day of disappointment, I was unable to find a job.I can't believe that old man was making advances at me just because he was going to offer me a job as a cleaner. How shameless!Although I am desperate, I also know where to draw the lines." Mary" I called softlyI wonder how Aidan is doing. I have been so busy searching for work lately that I don't want to spend much time with him again.Mary walked into the sitting room rubbing her eyesWas she sleeping by this time of the day?"Welcome ma'am""Yes Mary, where is mum-two and Dad-two" I queried"They had left for a meeting" she replied"Oh okay, what about Aidan?""He has falling asleep ma'am"I was glad to hear that, at least I won't have to bother about him till tomorrow."Ma'am, Aidan's milk is running out quickly, and there is no money to get another," she added.That was the bad news I have been dreading. My b
* * ** * * Crystal's POV * ** * * *When the cab stopped and I got done, I was dumbfounded.I recognised the Castle, it's the same Castle opposite the restaurant where I used to work, the Castle where Logan lives.I was now in a dilemma, I had to either go there and face Logan or go back home jobless, but when I remembered that Aidan's food had finished and I was already owing a lot of people, I had no choice but to knock on the castle gate.After two minutes, a man opened the gate. I recognised him too.He was the same gate man working here the other time I had come to deliver food.I greeted him and told him why I was here, he let me in and asked me to wait in the compound to get the supervisor.I stood admiring the big compound, I did not take a good look at it the last time I was here.There were two sculptures of a large Wolf standing at both sides of the entrance, behind them were too long pillars that were up to the roof.The pillars were decorated with red bricks.In the

Crystal was very excited, her current payment for a day was what she earned in the restaurant for a full month.Although the job is very stressful, she intended to do it for a few weeks then she would resignShe walked out of the castle gate with a smile plastered on her face.Since they lacked food stuff at home, Crystal decided to trek to the small market and buy a few things.She intended to get some provisions, some fresh tomatoes to make stew and some necessary spices.The money she had was enough to buy those things and have some change.In order to get there faster, she decided to take a short road.As she was approaching the market, she saw a spot where people gathered watching a scene.Getting closer, she recognised the young man being bullied by another man.It was Blake, the Beta of New Dawn pack. She remembered see

He was at fault in the first place so she had done nothing wrong."Is he blind or what?" The male who had saved her half-yelledCrystal froze after hearing that voice, she had not even seen the face of the man who saved her life.She turned slowly and her eyes met with his, even though it was dark, she still recognised him.Why wouldn't she recognise her baby's Daddy? Logan Stewart!She was surprised that Logan had just saved her life, this was the same man who said that he didn't want to ever see her face again."Are you alright?" he asked, while cleaning the dirt off his shirt."Ye… yes" she stutteredEven after three years, his presence still had that effect on her.Logan paused for a while and stared at her face closely, that was when he realis
* * * * * 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

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

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.

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.

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
