Logan’s POV

I entered the pool where I relaxed during the evenings, then swam across it, allowing the water to caress and relax my skin. Being born into wealth was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

Which explained why I didn't only have a pool to myself, but also a hot water tub where I could go to wash off properly later.

I did the butterfly stroke, then swam towards the shallow part of the pool. Shaking my hair to allow the water to transcend down my body, I smiled.

The events of the past few hours returned to me.

The news had confirmed it. My Uncle, Jayson Holmes was dead. He was gone. That meant one down, a few more to go. That was the significance of money. Being able to buy a war completely, being able to use money to win a war.

“Logan! Logan! I order you to leave that pool this instant.”

I sighed. I knew that voice anywhere. It was my father's. And yes, he sounded angry. What did I do wrong this time?

“Leave the pool, dad? I come here to relax every evening. Th

    Collins’s POVI ran a hand through my hair as I let Ace control the car. I knew I was supposed to stay back and allow my sister to take care of my injuries, but I had to do something important.First of all, I told Kingsley the news. It was simple. I had a few suspects, but Rex King and Logan topped the list. And I had chosen Logan. He was a young adult, he was fearless and he was daring. Even Rex King wasn't going to dare attempt such a feat because he knew what it meant. I had thought Kingsley would instruct my men and I to attack, but the reverse was the case. He opted for peace, which I had to accept even though it wasn't my wish. And now, I knew that I had to confront them. If I didn't, I was never going to sleep properly. The car came to a halt in the Botech industries. Parking, I slipped out of the car. My hand was covered in bandage and blood, but I had managed to hide it by wearing a coat Ace had provided earlier. “You can't go in without a certified pass, sir. I'm sorry

    Marie’s POVI finished bathing, then made sure that I applied my make-up as soon as possible. I was already late for work at the Eleven. In charge of finance, I already knew that my work had piled up in a corner, waiting for me. It wasn't easy to control the finance affairs of a big bar like The Eleven, but I was getting used to the ropes. At least, I thought I was. Putting on a blue gown with floral imprints, I made my way to the room where Elena normally kept the twins. She was in there with them, they lay on the bed, and she was smiling at them. “Aunty Marie! Good afternoon aunty Marie.” It was Kanu's shrill voice. In a setting where he was placed with his sister, he was always the first person to greet. I smiled at him, then went ahead to stroke his head. “How are you, Kanu? Kiana? Y'all are getting better, I hope? There's something called the flu, and I hate it just as you do.”“Yes, Aunt Marie. The flu does nothing but bring more harm than good!” They chorused. Laughing, I

    Marie’s POV I watched the car go, the dust settling on me. No one had noticed what had happened. And even if they had, it was a very lonely road, not a single soul was in sight. Finding my cell phone, I proceeded to call Clark. “Clark? Clark!”His reply was typical Clark. Funny but caring. Despite everything, I always felt lucky to have him by my side. “You've got to come see me now!” I began to cry, unable to hold it in any more.“Marie? Calm down, alright? Talk to me, what happened?”“I was attacked by some men, just a few hours ago. Oh, Clark. You've got to be here now. I'm sorry, you have to be here as soon as possible!”“I'll be there. Just give me a few minutes.” The call ended, and I found my way to the bench next to the street. I knew I wasn't supposed to go back home. I owed that to Clark. I knew how desperately he was trying to hide anything that could traumatize Elena. Who were those men, and why had they attacked me?Elena'S POVAs soon as Marie left the house, the do

    Elena’s POVI wanted to smile, but I was finding it difficult to do so. How did I know that he was telling the truth? How did I think I could be a lover to a man who hid most parts of his life from the public eye? “If you say so…”At that moment, the door opened, revealing a sweaty looking Clark.“Elena, have you seen Marie? Do you have any idea of where she is?”What was he doing, looking like a man who had lost his way? Why was he so sweaty and distraught?CLARK'S POVI stared at the scene before me in surprise. It wasn't as if I was trying to blame Elena. Apparently, she was in love and couldn't control it. I knew how that went. I was also in love. But did she know that her friend was in trouble? I doubted that. At that instant, I knew that if I wanted to prevent Elena from worrying, I had to hide the incident that had just happened to Marie from her. She was sensitive, and she reacted to things without thinking about it. I didn't want to destroy Rex's plan to continue keeping

    Clark’s POV “Alice? Oh my days. Let me call the babysitter. Why all the bloodshed? Was it a robbery?”I shook my head, then shrugged in reply. I couldn't give her the answers she required. She was going to have to ask the man that she had always been trying to avoid. That man was Rex king, the father of her children. Rex'S POVI was waiting for Clark to come in, so that I could find my way back to the house and at least take a bath. I smelt like shit. I had been in the hospital for hours, sweating profusely next to my mother's bed. I hadn't left her side in hours. Just like Clark had said, he had gotten her a new phone, and a laptop which she was tapping furiously in an attempt to control business in Cleveland all the way from New Kingston. She was my mother, a very hardworking woman and I respected that a lot. The door opened, revealing Clark and a woman I thought I would never see until this was over. Elena and Marie. “Elena?”Before I could complete my words, she was flying

    Alicia’s POV “You're not the Alicia I used to know. I'll attribute that to the fact that you've fallen in love, right? Now come on. Finish your food. We're marching into Logan's house together.”I shook my head in protest. She was a good friend, but there were things that had to be done without help. And this was one of those things. “I'll go alone, Amelia. It's just like you said. We're in a relationship, he's my partner. I think I'll see him alone. That way, he can discuss with me freely.”Amelia shrugged. “Whatever you say, Alicia. You know I want nothing but the best for you. And if Logan isn't giving you that, then we might have to reconsider his position in your life.”I smiled. It was true what people said. Maybe when you enter a relationship with a woman, you're in a relationship with her friends as well. You got to satisfy both parties, making sure that there was satisfaction and contentment all round. Standing up, I paid the bill, then kissed Amelia on the cheek. “You c

    COLLINS'S POV “I'm sorry about that. I just get in my feelings whenever I hear that song. It was one of my best as a teenager.”I smiled. I was trying to initiate trust. I had to let her know that I was a stranger, but a harmless one. “June Martins? One of the greatest reggae and blues musicians to ever exist. This is just one of the few she performed magic on. She's one of a kind, you know. The kind of things she does with her voice and her band. She's changed a lot of lives through her music.”She nodded, then looked away briefly at the scenery that was flooding past the speeding vehicle. “My boyfriend used to like that song once upon a time. Now, I don't even know who he is anymore. He's not the man he used to be.”My wolf was yiping with happiness inside of me. I hadn't even done much, and she was already saying what I needed to hear. Maybe the saying was true. Telling your problems to a stranger was better than telling somebody you knew very well. In the case of Alicia beside

    LOGAN'S POV“Good morning, busy bee. I guess that's what you are now. You're too busy to see me, you're too busy to acknowledge my calls or even return my texts. You have a lot going on in your life that you don't even consider the fact that you have a girlfriend…”“Alicia!” I practically groaned, “Is this the best time to do this? Is this the place to do this?” I asked her, glaring angrily in her direction. “You leave me no choice, Logan Bohen. You leave me absolutely no choice. I've nearly gone crazy thinking about your welfare, but I know you don't care about mine. It's ridiculous.”I swallowed hard, then taking her hand, I dragged her into the first office that was open. Staring at the man who was sitting on his chair and staring at his computer, I ordered him out of the office immediately. He scampered for safety, running out of the office. They all knew I had a very questionable temper, and I knew he was trying to protect himself and his job as well. I locked the door, then s

    Elena's POV The early morning light filtered through the pack house windows and casted a golden glow over the kitchen, while I busied myself with preparing breakfast. It was a calm morning, but I could feel tension in the air. While the battle went on yesterday, Alphonso got captured and what was going to be done with him hadn't been decided yet, but whatever decision was going to be taken will define the pack's future.I stood by the counter, stirring a pot of oatmeal while Kanu and Kiana bickered playfully over the cereal I had given them earlier. Something about their laughter and noise felt comforting and reminded me of the simple life that we almost lost. It was hard to imagine that we managed to pull through, but as I glanced at the family photo, the realisation that we had survived set in.Then, Rex walked in, looking as if he had just woken up, his dark hair a bit ruffled. "It sure smells good in here," he said groggily.I smiled at him. "I'm preparing breakfast obviously, bu

    Elena's POV The energy was electric in the pack house. Wolves in human and shifted forms moved around the courtyard with their voices conveying relief and celebration. Despite the tension everyone felt from the battle we endured, everyone felt hopeful and personally, I can't remember the last time I felt that way.Standing near the edge of the crowd while watching as pack members approached Rex to congratulate him, I noticed that he moved slowly as a result of his injuries but his presence was still as commanding as ever. He cemented his role as a leader with each nod of his head and each word he exchanged with them. "Are you okay?" A voice said from my side, breaking me out of my thoughts. Turning sideways, I see that it's Logan."I think so," I replied, my gaze shifting back to Rex."You give off this feeling of someone that's getting ready to run." Logan said with a mischievous smile, though his tone was gentle.That caused a short laugh to escape my lips, "it's just a lot. All o

    Elena's POVI woke up to the morning light filtering through the blinds of the hospital room with its soft rays washing over Rex's face. He was still asleep with his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Despite how pale he looked with the bandages wrapped around his chest, he looked like a warrior at rest after fighting a long battle.Leaning back against the chair by his bed with my body still aching from dozing off in an uncomfortable position with my hands still resting on his, unwilling to let go I closed my eyes slightly but the image of Logan walking towards me with some of Rex's blood on his body replayed in my head. The door opened behind me and I turned to see Logan walk in with clean clothes and a smile on his face while carrying two cups of coffee. He smiled at me softly as he approached before placing one of the cups on the small table beside me. "I thought you would need this," he said as he sat down on the other side of Rex's bed."Thanks," I replied gratefully

    Elena's POV I was in a room, praying that the battle goes in like favour when a wolf rushed in agitation."What's going on in the battlefield?" I asked hurriedly."We were able to defeat Kingsley but..". "But what?!" I asked impatiently."The Alpha was wounded in battle and is being rushed to the hospital right now." As I heard that, I felt dread overcome me and without a second thought, I grabbed my keys."Marie!" I called out, my voice shaking. "Watch the kids for me. I have to go."Maria frowned in concern, "Elena, hold on!"But I was already out the door, my heart pounding as I drove towards the hospital.The drive to the hospital was a blur with my mind focused on getting to the hospital as fast as I could. The sounds of the radio faded into the background as my thoughts consumed me with the words of the wolf being played over and over again in my mind."What if he doesn't make it?"The very thought of that happening struck me hard at my chest like a punch. I had spent so much

    Elena's pov"What if you don't have to?" Alicia asked, "you don't really have to go back to how things were between you two and honestly, I don't think it's a good idea since things were pretty toxic between you two.""That is true." I said with a gentle nod of my head. "So I suggest that you both build something new." She replied.Hearing that, it was as if a door opened up in my mind as I began to seriously consider her opinion.The following morning, the Pack gathered at an open field which was the site of the meeting with every wolf on high alert.Standing before us was Rex with his commanding presence as he addressed the crowd. "Today we are here to fight for the future of our packs. Kingsley and Alphonso have both been controlling us for so long using just fear and manipulation and it's time to put an end to it."In response, everyone cheered in approval with some of them howling. I stood at the edge of the gathering with the women and children while looking for signs of troubl

    Elena's POV I, my twins, Marie and Alicia had moved to Rex's pack away from New Kingston. He had figured out that if we remained in New Kingston we'd be easily attacked by Kingsley and his cohorts.His mother was so filled with joy to see us finally return to the pack.Standing at the edge of Rex's pack grounds, I felt the cool air against my skin. All around me were werewolves shifting into their forms and patrolling the perimeter with their scouts running back and forth with one update after the other. Turning sideways, my eyes rested on Rex who was barking orders with authority which was expected since he was an Alpha and knew the weight of his responsibilities.Anyone else standing on the spot I stood would have felt nervous or utterly terrified but I felt oddly calm. I knew what was happening right now wasn't just about survival anymore but about standing for something and protecting the people that matter the most.As I busied myself with my thoughts, a voice broke me out of it

    Logan's POVThe air in the safe house was heavy with tension with Zachary pacing the small room with his footsteps creaking rhythmically on the wooden floor. On a table situated by the side, I sat with a map spread out before me as I observed the marked locations which represented Kingsley's growing influence across the packs.Suddenly, the footsteps stopped in front of me which prompted me to raise my head only to see Zachary staring at me. "We don't have much time." He said silently. "Kingsley's plan is already in motion and Alphonso's political might will protect him if we don't act now."Do you think I do not know that?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow. "Of course I do but if we move too soon, we risk exposing our hands too early. We need to hit them where it'll hurt the most-where they least expect us to hit."Zachary folded his arms in response, he didn't look too convinced by my reasoning. "And how do you think we should do that? Kingsley has access to Alphonso's resources, the

    Elena's POV Sitting down by the kitchen table, my hands trembled slightly as I stirred my cup of tea with the clanking generated from my spoon hitting the sides of the cup grounding me. It was late in the afternoon and the sun had cast long shadows with golden patterns around the kitchen. As I did that, my mind went to the words Collins uttered the previous night with each word echoing in my head. "Rex won't see it coming. Once he's out of the way, we'll have complete control. Are you worried about Elena? You shouldn't be, She's loyal for now."I couldn't believe what I had just heard. The man I had trusted my life and the life of my kids with, the same man I let into my life had been scheming all along? I could not believe it but the weight of his betrayal pressed heavily against my chest. How could I be so blind"? Gripping the edge of my table to steady myself, I took in deep breaths and I didn't notice one of my kids come close to me. "Mom!"Kanu called, startling me, which ca

    Elena's POV.Hearing the faint hum of the coffee machine in the background alongside the sound of the TV and the sound of laughter from Kiana and Kanu should have brought me a sense of peace and comfort but in the particular situation I'm in, it only brought me unease with my hand tightening around my cellphone while I stared at it.I had sent Collins a text a while ago which he had left unanswered and that made me extremely anxious. "Mom!" Kiana shouted, his voice interrupting my thoughts. "Kanu is cheating again and I do not like it!"With a sigh of exhaustion, I dropped the phone into my pocket before turning around and walking into the living room and there stood Kanu on the sofa, triumphantly holding the game controller in his hand and high over his head with Kiana by the side glaring at him with her little hands balled into fists."I am not cheating!" Kanu yelled back, while jumping away as Kiana tried to snatch the controller from him."Okay, that's enough." I said, stepping b
