Rex's POV.I drove into the garage as I rushed out to open her door as well. Clark had given me a thumbs up thrice already. "F*ck!!" I growled as I ignored him. "He will definitely get seen and what next? Ruin my perfect night with Elena." I snapped as I pressed the elevator's button as we used it to get to the top floor. "Welcome!" I said with a smile as I opened the door as she walked in. I felt my heart racing really fast now and at some point, I felt this was completely a wrong idea."Here! Have a seat." I muttered as I stood directly opposite her now. I loved how beautiful her lipstick was and it perfectly suited her red gown and brown hat, which hung one-sided. "How have you been?" I finally broke the silence as I looked at her. I felt her heartbeat pause for a while as she raised her eyebrows, looking right into my eyes which only made my heart to flutter again. I gradually felt uneasy again. I was getting nervous."I have been fine." She responded briefly, still had a
Rex's POV.I quickly prepared pasta with bacon which happened to be my favorite dish with eggs and added parmesan cheese I had bought earlier on. Did I fail to mention that she was the reason I fell in love with bacon and scrambled eggs? And when she left, I had to fall for Clark's bacon. He was a pretty good cook. I looked at her as she ate and every time I had something to say, I always had no other option than to let it slide. I couldn't stand ruining our dinner today. No way!! I exhaled sharply as I kept looking at her."Did she love it?" I muttered as I waited to hear her compliments like before. During my time off work, we spent time together in the kitchen, learning and trying different dishes.I couldn't wait to welcome my first child into the world and then my second and third, but then, it never came. Looking at her right now, I wished I was patient enough. If I was just a little more patient, I wouldn't have lost her. I wouldn't have been here in New Kingston, leaving
Rex POV. I jolted up from the sofa chair I had slept on throughout the night as my phone rang repeatedly. Clark yawned as he rubbed his eyes as he squinted them like he was trying to read. The sun was piercing through the curtains which lit the room. "How come I slept here?" He muttered as he got up from the table. "Did you use alcohol in your pasta?" He scowled as he rubbed his eyes again and opened them wider this time around.My phone rang again and this time, I had to search who the caller was. It was my mother. "Why was she calling?" I scowled as I rubbed my eyes before picking up the call. "Are you okay? Why do you look so tattered?" She sneered as she wore her glasses. "Have you been drinking, Rex?" She queried as she frowned her face. "No, not at all, mother!!" I responded in a defensive tone as I sat upright. "Don't tell me you are just waking up!?" She scowled angrily this time around."Definitely yes!!" I rolled my eyes as I yawned. "Is this you plan on getting her b
Logan's POV."Logan, are you being serious here?" Alphonso snapped as he looked at Logan. "Why New Kingston College? What about other prestigious schools in New Kingston? What will people say when they see you in a public school?" He scowled in disapproval as he relapsed on his swivel chair. "That is what I want, father." I sighed as I rolled my eyes. "This is about me, dad. I can cope and I clearly remember that I just turned 18 and can make decisions for myself too, dad." I said, rolling my eyes again. "I can take care of myself. I can control my wolf too, just let me be dad, please!?" I groaned this time around as he wasn't ready to grant me my wish."I can't, Logan. I have to keep you safe at all costs. How do you expect me to protect you from my enemies? Cancel your plans of schooling at the New Kingston College, Logan." He shrugged as he looked at me.“I am not going to cancel it out. You let Liam do as he pleases and when it comes to me, I don't get to have a say. I am not a k
Alicia's POV "Hey, Alicia?" Amelia snapped as I was going through my Economics textbook. "Didn't you see the new guy the principal walked into our class earlier today?" She muttered as she grinned from chin to chin. "And what about him? What is actually so special about him?" I asked her as I raised my eyebrows. "There's absolutely nothing so special about him, and you literally don't expect me to throw myself on him." I scowled as I continued perusing my textbook."Do you even know who he is? You have to see when he drove in. He drove into the compound in a black flashy Ford GT car. He's a hot cake, Alicia, come on!!" She shrugged in a defensive tone as she rolled her eyes."Oh, spare me Amelia!!" I snapped. "I am fully aware of who he is and whose son he is and also, whose brother he is as well, Amelia." I scowled as I continued going through my text book. "Currently, he is every girl's dream and yeah, including mine." She blushed at the thought of Logan."Like, who wouldn't fall
Logan's POV."Are you sure you want to eat here, young master?" Othello asked as I ordered him to pull over. "Is there anything wrong with my choice?" I sighed as I looked at him from the rearview mirror. "Is it bad eating from any restaurant?""We could go to the bigger ones. I doubt if this restaurant would have good customer service. And also, their dishes may be awful as well." He condemned.I sighed as I looked away. It was at the heart of New Kingston and the view was completely beautiful, the walls which were decorated by synthetic grass and the chairs well arranged at the front of the restaurant. "That's not your problem, Othello!!" I scowled as I had him pull over. "If your dad finds out that you had your lunch here, I will definitely get into his trouble for letting you eat here." He groaned as he parked the car over. I stepped down and he wouldn't stop trying to dissuade me and then, before I could even walk in, a lady had bumped into me, making my wolf to growl lightly
Rex's POV I sat down at the edge of the restaurant as I watched the two love birds. And from the other end, I could clearly hear the voices of the girls that were drooling over the young teenage boy who just walked into the restaurant. "Oh my God… Logan Bohen is the true definition of beauty!!" I heard one of them blushed as she looked at him."Bohen?" I whispered in shock as I turned to look at the young teenage boy. "How could I have easily forgotten?" I cursed as I shook my head in disbelief. "But then… why was he… he really looks different from the others." I couldn't control the thoughts that came in. "But… but was is he doing here?" I scowled as I found it hard to understand why a young teenage boy from a powerful and not just a powerful werewolf family but a highly wealthy family would drive all the way down here to have his lunch.""Oh, yeah!!" I rolled my eyes as I remembered how I saw the waitress bump into him and the way he stood still looking at her."He never flared
Liam's POV. "Are you insane? Huh?" Grace scowled as she looked at me. "How did you expect me to know that that scoundrel would be there?" I snarled as I looked at her. "Is this how you intend to rule our family some day? Is it?" She fired back at me as she got up from the sofa chair. "What if you have gotten Pedro killed? You said he is an Alpha, an Alpha you know nothing about and yet, you went ahead to lay an ambush on the one woman he told you not to dare lay your hands on before?" She growled angrily as she looked at me."I will make him pay for this, mother. I will." I said in defense as I looked at her. "How? Pedro is still trying to recover from the alpha's mark. One thing you must understand is, whenever an Alpha, who happens to be powerful, marks you, it's either you die or you suffer the unending torment until you recover from it. That could take weeks and even a month, Liam." She growled angrily. "Then let father make me an Alpha. He is already of age, mother. If he pa
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
