~AUGUST~

I ran out of the manor as soon as I heard the guard's announcement. As I left, I couldn't help but wonder what the problem might be this time.

Upon arriving at the gate, my eyes widened at the person standing before me. Gray was standing right in front of me, and the most surprising part of it all was that he didn't look like he had come to cause trouble.

He was as calm as a storm, and I couldn't help but stare at him in awe.

“Gray?” I muttered slowly, trying to be sure I wasn't actually dreaming.

He nodded, a welcoming smile on his lips. He stretched his hand for a handshake and I immediately grabbed his hand, not thinking twice.

“May I come in?” He asked, gesturing towards the entrance.

“Of course! After you.” I said in excitement as I made the way for him to pass.

I was quick to notice the shocked expression on Azalea's face the moment Gray walked into the manor.

She fidgeted, hands trembling as she suddenly lowered her head.

To my utter surprise, Gray ignored her com

    ~AZALEA~My eyes traveled from where Gray was, then to August, my heart racing with fear. How was I supposed to explain to them that he was one of my father's workers? They would surely rip me apart for being related to their killers.I gulped hard, noticing August's hands clenched into fists. I was aware of the fact that he now despised me badly, following Zoe's reappearance into his life.I lowered my head and took a second glance at the corpse, terror washing over me. Realizing the kind of trouble I would put myself into if I attested to the fact that I knew who this man was, I came to the conclusion that I would deny him.That seemed to be the only way out of this looming trouble. There was no way they would find out if I lied to them, right?“I don't know who this is.” I said, masking my initial fear with boldness.August exchanged puzzled glances with Gray, their faces shone with disbelief.Doubt was written all over August's face, but he chose not to go further with the questio

    ~AZALEA~He turned to face me, a mischievous smile creeping on his lips. “From the picture which I have just shown you all, it's obvious Azalea here is related to the man in the picture. And since the man in question is a human hunter, I suspect she is working with him underground, and is obviously planning to get us all captured.”The hall erupted into a loud noise as everyone turned their gazes on me, their mouths wide agape.It felt like the whole world was crumbling on me as their stares lingered around me.I slowly turned to face August, and I was met with the coldest reaction I have ever received.His face stiffened, his jaw clenched in anger as his eyes remained glued to me. “Azalea, is this true? Tell me this is all a joke.” He yelled, anger seeping through his voice.I was both ashamed and frightened by his words. I lowered my head in fear, unable to clear my name off these accusations, because they were actually true.But how was I ever going to say that to them? How was I g

    ~AUGUST~This was the highest humiliation I had ever received in my lifetime, and I swear never to let it slide this time.Zoe was right about Azalea after all, but I was so blinded, thinking she was only speaking from a side of hatred and anger. As soon as the guards had locked Azalea in the dungeon, I dismissed the rest of the pack members, rescheduling the meeting for another date when I must have made my decision on what to do next concerning her.But something surprising happened after she had been locked up—Gray, who used to be solely against me, was now weirdly close to me and always visited my packhouse more frequently than I can count.It got so strange to the point that he became a vital part of us in no time. Everyone in the pack respected him and sang his praises for saving the pack from such a huge damage despite our differences.Things took a great turn following Azalea's detainment in the dungeon. It was as though she had been a barrier hindering the pack's progress al

    ~GRAY~That was a close catch, I guess. My legs trembled as August questioned me repeatedly. I felt hot within me and I prayed silently that he doesn't find out about anything that happened between Zoe and I.Well, it was as though the moon goddess listened to my prayer instantly. The fact that he didn't bother anymore with the questions was what baffled me most.He instantly gave up asking further the moment I made him understand that Zoe was no longer in the packhouse.I couldn't imagine what would have become of me if he had found out that Zoe and I had a hand in everything that was happening to Azalea at the moment.I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I saw him off to the gate, and as soon as he had left, I dashed into the manor to fetch Zoe.“You have to leave right away because he is just on his way to the packhouse, and he would be worried about you if he gets there and doesn't find you.” I explained as soon as I saw Zoe come out of her hiding place.Her eyes rolled in panic as t

    ~AUGUST~Barely a few minutes after I had returned back to the packhouse, the guards ran up to me and announced Azalea's disappearance.At first, I didn't believe it, but when I got into the dungeon and saw things for myself, reality hit me hard. She was indeed missing! Where could she have gone?Panic coursed through me as I made up my mind to seek Gray's assistance on this. He was obviously in the best position to help me at this point.But I was disappointed instead as I was met by his absence when I finally arrived at his packhouse.“He made a trip into the woods with some of the guards, and we're not sure when he would return.” His guards had said to me.I felt disappointed, desperation clawing at my veins. I made up my mind to wait for him. He was my only hope left and there was no way I could leave without seeing him. I can't even imagine it.Barely a few minutes after I had made up my mind to wait, I was alerted by some footsteps, as though a group of people were approaching u

  • The Alpha's Human Mate    Chapter 25

    ~AZALEA~I gritted my teeth in pain as the guards howled me back into the same place I had tried to escape from. This was not just any kind of pain. It was an indescribable pain of agony and regrets—a pain of not being able to get out of my bondage and probably meet my father once again, a pain of being drawn back to my worst nightmare when I thought I was finally out.At this point, I gave up trying to leave the dungeon ever again, as it was clearly obvious that I was never going to get a chance ever again.August didn't look like he was going to let me out of his sight once again. He was so determined to make me pay dearly for attempting to leave at the first instance.I still wondered how he had changed so quickly, just within a few days of Zoe's arrival. If only he knew her real motive of being with him. If only he had an idea that she was in a relationship with his brother and not him, and that they were only using him as a tool to achieve what they wanted.How could he be so bli

    ~AZALEA~Of what use was it speaking up anyway, when no one would be willing to listen to what I had to say? Not even August would take me seriously if I told him that Zoe's intentions towards him were not genuine.How else am I supposed to go about this if not keeping my lips sealed—at least for now? As much as I wished to save August from the trouble he was about to get himself into, I couldn't just lay down my life in exchange for his safety.The following morning after the encounter with Zoe, I woke up only to find myself lying next to August.It was hard to believe it at first but after taking a close glance at the person lying beside me, my suspicions were confirmed. It was indeed August.His hand was crossed over my shoulder, pinning me in a possessive manner.I rolled my eyes in disbelief and quietly rolled his hand away, but that was before his eyes went open.I scampered in fear, rolling myself quickly away from him. His eyes trailed mine cautiously, his hands scribbling the

    ~AZALEA~As we marched on to the entrance, it became clear enough that the person walking towards us was no other person but Zoe!My eyes widened as they traveled to August. I was expecting him to give an explanation for this. Why was Zoe in the supposed place of relaxation he had brought me to? Why does she have to show up now?I was terribly shocked to my marrow as August extended his hand and shook her, offering her a smile. He seemed to have forgotten so soon that he was actually here with me. He was so absentminded that he got lost in a discussion with Zoe, and soon, they were heading towards the entrance door, leaving me behind with the guards.My jaw clenched, a mix of anger and fear engulfing me as I watched them leave. I suddenly felt a bit relieved when August turned around, locking his eyes with mine.He gestured to the guards, pointing an index finger at me. “Bring her with you. She is the sole reason why we are here.” He said and returned his hand to rest on Zoe's shoulde

    Logan's POVMy mouth widened in shock and surprise when Isabella's wolf form,it was a big white wolf which was an incredible sight to behold. I wasn't expecting it ,I mean no one was expecting that she would turn into a wolf considering the fact that she was a hybrid.“Shit!” I muttered when Isabella jumped down the window.I leaped down and my wolf tugged that I should let him take over, seeing how fast Isabella was. I couldn't chase her. I nodded and allowed him. I shifted and chased Isabella all the way down to a river bank separating our pack from another pack.She growled at me when the twig I stepped on snapped,I shifted back to my human form so she could see that it was me and I meant no harm.“Isabella shift.” I said calmly as I tried to approach her.“Isabella?” I called again.She snarled at me and I frowned,she shouldn't be reacting like that. She wanted to take a leap and run into the water,I growled at her making her freeze in the spot.“ISABELLA SHIFT NOW!!” I used my Al

    Isabella's POVI didn't know how to go about it,my palm was sweating and I kept wiping it clean. Logan hadn't returned from work because of the meeting he was having with the elders and according to what Vanessa said the meeting would determine the fate of her father.For someone who had been looking for every means to unite with her parents, I can say I can relate with Vanessa's pain of not wanting to lose her father.I stood at the front door contemplating whether to leave the house and go to the meeting or not. After I was so sure my plan would work,I stepped outside but I was soon blocked by one of Logan's men.“Where did you come from!” I was startled.I gaped at the hefty man standing in front of me,he was so tall and muscular,I looked around to see if he was the only one.“I'm sorry if I caught you by surprise Luna.” He bowed.“I have to see Logan,can you take me to him?” “I have orders not to let you leave the house ma'am.” He replied calmly.“It's important.” I tapped my fee

    Vanessa's POVI was a person trained to follow principles and doctrines,my father was the only relative I had and the only one who had ever understood me. He believed or I should say we believe the strong should be the one to to rule and take positions in pack.When I first found out that Logan had found his mate,I was disheartened and saddened I always loved Logan from when we were young and I believed the feeling was mutual until recently. My father had also believed and had always told me that I was meant to be Luna, that our bloodline was meant to take charge as the next Alpha of the pack.I never knew him to be a backstabber or someone that would endanger the lives of the pack members.“I will give you five minutes to talk some sense to him.” Logan said and left the cell.I wiped the tears that had trickled down my eyes,I went closer to the iron bars. My dad stood up from the door weakly and came to the iron.“Why?” My voice broke.“I…did…it for you.” He muttered and I slammed m

    Avalon's POVI wiped my tears at the portrait of Anastasia, my late mate, that was in my hand. She died three years ago during her way back from a trip. And her death was all Logan's fault,if he hadn't launched an attack against the rogues then, Anastasia would be walking freely by now but that wasn't why I hated him.I hated Logan because he always takes everything away from me,he did with Anastasia and the same thing he's trying to do with Isabella. Isabella was a life gift to me, it's not a surprising fact that she isn't only a look alike of Anastasia she was also a Hybrid.The little time I had spent with her confirms that she's the only one who can fill the empty space I never thought would be replaceable. “Alpha,Elder Jacob is here.” My Beta walked in to inform me.“Let him in.” I ordered.I went to take my seat and waited for the man to enter,the door opened and he walked in cautiously. Jackob was a sly and greedy man,I motioned for him to take his seat and he did.“What do y

    Logan's POVThe joy I had now was something I couldn't describe, Isabella was now fully mine although I hadn't named her as the Luna of the pack but it was something that everyone now knows whether I signed the investiture or not.“What's wrong?” I said immediately Frank barged into my office.“The Pack just launched an attack on our borders!” He said and I stood up from my seat.“Lead the way.” I ordered.Frank briefed me along the way. It was a sudden attack. I guessed Avalon made the attack because his ego was bruised during the last encounter he had with me.“How many if our men are down?” I asked.“Ten.” Frank replied.“How many are currently on standby guarding?” “Twenty.”“Have Gaius come over and treat them.” I ordered.Frank left the tent and I sighed ten was a good number of men and the attack on them would one way affect the pack defense system. Frank came back in with a worried expression and I frowned, praying it wasn't bad news about the war again.“There is someone out

I'm sorry too.” I told Logan.It was my fault also for not telling him about Avalon's frequent calling,it wouldn't have led to the disadvantage that happened.“Was that why you were being indifferent towards me during the training session?” I asked and he nodded.“Are we good now?” Logan asked cautiously and I nodded.He pulled me to a hug and sniffed my scent,I sighed in relief that the argument was over,last night I couldn't sleep a wink because I had never been so scared about being distanced from a person before,I thought had first that Logan would end our relationship and not want to have anything to do with me again.“I love you.” He whispered amidst the hug.“I love you too.” I replied.“Can..we go home now,my wolf didn't let me be last night?”“Sure.” I answered and he lifted me up.When we came down, Mandy was already preparing to leave the house.

I was furious that she was still in touch with him after everything,so I went back outside and waited for her instead.She came back and I expected her to let me on it, but she refused to tell me the truth and that angered me, making me lose it when I was training her. Thankfully Vanessa stepped in line before I could endanger Isabella.'Will she be able to come home alone?’ My wolf asked worriedly.I sighed and stood up from the couch,I shouldn't have allowed my anger to cloud my judgement. I took my keys and drove back to the center,by the time I got there the place was empty. 'Why don't you give her a call?’ My wolf hammered.I hesitated because she might be angry and

    Isabella's POVI stared at the mark that had a nose formed on my neck,it didn't hurt like before. The sight of it made me happy for unknown reasons, maybe because it was Logan's claim on me. According to him we were now an official couple. The only thing that was remaining was the coronation ceremony.Life is indeed like a whirlwind.My phone lit up and I picked it up,it was a message from Avalon. I glanced outside to see if Logan was nearby,I didn't like the fact that Avalon kept on disturbing me with calls and texts.“What do you want from me, Avalon?” I said in a low voice when I picked.“It's good to hear your voice Isabella, you don't know how crazy my wolf gets whenever we hear your voice.” He answered.“The fact that I picked this call doesn't mean I've forgiven you, you almost killed me, don't even think you can pretend you are a good person!”“At least I'm not like the person you call mate.” He taunted. “You don't know who Logan is Isabella and I'm here to bring you to the li
