~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

    ~AZALEA~“Aug…August?” I managed to choke out, my voice trembled, feeling the entire world crash around me. Time seemed to stretch endlessly and I thought he was bluffing until I saw some men marching towards me boldly.They grabbed my hands and pinned my knees down to the floor, forcing my head up.My eyes locked into August's once again, but this time, it looked like nothing but betrayal. I could feel the remaining pieces of my heart being shattered as I met his gaze.I waited earnestly to see if he would go back on his words and tell these hungry-looking fellows that he never actually meant what he had said earlier.But none of that happened. Instead, he nodded in approval, and it was as if that was the only thing the men were waiting for as they lifted me to my feet and dragged me out of the meeting arena.“Where are you taking me?” I asked in tears, not minding what the repercussion of my question would be. At this point, they had done their worst, and there was absolutely nothin

    ~August~I felt so fulfilled as I returned to the packhouse with Zoe by my side. For us, it was a mission accomplished. We had finally gotten rid of Azalea and that was obviously the best decision I had ever made in a long time.When we arrived, Gray walked up to us. At first, I was worried, seeing him in the packhouse at such an hour. I never expected him to be here, let alone sitting patiently and awaiting our arrival. But I maintain my composure, approaching him with a smile.“August, where are you coming from?” He asked, looking around restlessly like he had lost something. His gaze came resting on me all of a sudden, and he paused, grabbing my clothes. “Where is Azalea?”My eyes narrowed, reeling in suspense from what I just heard. I raised a brow at him, expecting that he would rephrase his statement, but he never did. His eyes were like a burning fire, fierce and filled with intense anger. “Where the hell is she?!” He asked once again, pushing me slightly.I staggered and man

    ~August~“Okay, what now?” I asked, keeping my eyes glued to the paper like my whole life depended on it. I couldn't help but wonder where he was trying to go with all these.Gray sighed and locked his eyes in mine. “I was just thinking we could come up with something. You know, maybe we should restrategize and make out a way to capture the real culprit—the man behind that face in the picture which Azalea was found in. What do you think?”“Oh. Of course, that's a good idea. But I'm still skeptical about how we're going to achieve this considering the fact that they are also on the lookout for us. I mean, we are literally a prey before them.” Gray nodded, hand slightly inclined below his chin. He remained silent for a while before raising his head to speak.“Well, in that case, I would only advise that we carry it out in the smartest way possible.” He said, staring at me for affirmation. “We need to be extra careful this time, and we need the guards also to be on the lookout. We can't

    ~August~Zoe withdrew her gaze, obviously shying away from me.I was trying so hard not to believe that she had said anything about Azalea's whereabouts to Gray, but it was clear enough that she really had.My fists clenched in my sides, my gaze fixed on her. Then I turned to Gray who was still fuming with anger. “Gray, I–”“Save it!” He cut in, shooting a terrifying glare at me. “Save yourself the stress. Why did you have to lie to me when you knew fully well that the person in question was no longer in the pack? Why?!” “Listen, I was about to. But—” “But you didn't deem it fit to tell me? No, go ahead and say it. Just tell me I wasn't supposed to know about it.” His voice laced with venom as he raged out and went on his feet.He turned towards the exit, his heels clicking on the marble ground as he walked away.I walked up to Zoe at once. She had a lot of explaining to do concerning what just happened.“Why did you do that?” I asked, gradually losing my patience. “Talk to me, Zoe

    ~August~“What just happened in there?” She asked, her voice calm yet demanding.I shot her a puzzled look, wondering if it was really me she was speaking to. “What do you mean? I just saw your father in bed with my mate, yet you stand here and ask me what happened? Are you serious right now?”“Your mate?” She asked, feeling no ounce of shame in what her father had done. “Do I need to remind you that she is no longer your mate? I am your mate, not her!”“Is that what you think?” I asked boldly, closing in the gap between us. For the first time since her arrival in my life, I felt fulfilled telling her my mind.Her eyes narrowed, anger brewing in her eyes. There was no doubt that those words had hurt her deeply.She turned on her heels and walked away, not sparing me a second glance.I headed back at once to the king's chamber, but this time, Azalea was not there.I walked up to the king, and as I got closer to where he was, I couldn't shake off the anger I felt towards him.He had ju

    ~Azalea~August's eyes remained glued to mine, and at that point, though I was still upset with him for the way he had treated me, I was determined to tell him everything that had transpired behind his back between Zoe and Gray.I lowered my head slightly, anxiety clawing at my chest all of a sudden.“It’s about Zoe and Gray.” I started, not sure if I had said the right thing. I could feel my legs trembling from the weight of his stares. “What about them?” His voice, deep and coarse, resounded in my ear, creating a lasting effect of panic on me.I was suddenly growing cold feet towards telling him about it. What if he doesn't believe me? What if Zoe steps out from nowhere and twists the story to her favor?It's no longer news that August had changed drastically since that woman came into his life. He had turned into a nuisance entirely and no one could tell when he would get out of her spell.After a long thought, I finally mustered the courage to say something—anything. The least he

I couldn't peel my eyes off her body,my eyes trailed up her spine until it landed on a mark on her left shoulder.It was a crescent moon mark.“Heyyyyyy!!” Isabella threw her clothes at me.I looked away from her,but still pondered on what I had seen. I cleared my throat when Isabella stomped her feet on the ground.“I'll drop you off at school.” I told her before walking out.“Pervert!!” She yelled at me as I left.She came out after she was fully dressed and prepared,I caught her stealing glances at me when our eyes met she hissed.“So have

She paused and held her head with force like she was feeling a pang on her head.“But you know it's actually a tricky offer.” She bit her finger.“I know right.” I sighed. “He offered to pay your tuition also.” I told her and she gasped.I didn't know what came over that made me snap at Logan like that,I know I'm not rich but I just felt threatened when he said those words it made me look cheap like he could just buy me.“Why don't we give it a second thought?” Mandy teased and I glared at her.“I already made things clear to him,I still don't get why he wanted me,there are tons of girls that would gladly do more than that for him regardless of what he's offering.”“That's true…it's kind of suspicious though.”“Hey, that reminds me! we are going to Richardo's birthday party right?” “I'll pass.” I shook my head.Mandy was about to retort when we heard a knock on the door,we looked

I must say she is beautiful.I stood up since she refused to take further steps,I took her hands in mine and led her to sit on the couch.“Hi.” She greeted sadly,her hands fiddling with each other.“You didn't reply to me.” I sat down.She didn't answer so that clarifies that she did it intentionally. “You said you wanted to see me.” She said quickly and I could tell she wanted nothing more than to leave.“Have you eaten? There's a restaurant close by, let's eat there.” I stood up and went to take my keys.Isabella stared at me,her mouth parted in surprise. She stood up and we left the office. When we got to the restaurant,I was indeed hungry so

    Isabella's POVI had no idea where I was, but I was surrounded by tall trees. I was not alone. I could hear strange noises but that wasn't all,I could feel someone was watching me and I wasn't safe. Following my instinct I made a beeline and as I did I heard growling and the sound of footsteps.I peered at the back and saw a pack of wolves chasing after me, gnawing their teeth. I ran as fast as my leg could take me, the fear that they would get to me made me run faster.But I was unlucky. I tripped on something and fell, making me roll over a log of wood. Before I knew it I was surrounded by them and they each took a bit of my flesh. My scream echoed in the woods and I snapped back to reality.I sat upright panting heavily that wasn't all o was covered in sweat and I could still feel the pain in my body.“Mandy,do you understand dreams?” I asked Mandy as we were heading to the gross laboratory.The dream feels so real that I was frightened that it might happen for real.

I had ordered Frank to get them for me,I wasn't satisfied with the way I dealt with them and my wolf didn't want them breathing either.“This one here is Luke.” Frank pointed to the one with the red hair.“Matt.” He pointed to the muscular one.“Fred.” The one with a lot of piercing.I sat on a stool,Frank passed a file containing their details,they were Into drugs and they belonged to a street gang. I closed it and gave it back to Frank.“Who sent you?” I asked them.The three of them scrambled to a corner at my voice,they shook their voice. I stood up in anger and they bursted into tears. They couldn't move further due to the pain they were feeling.Frank had already tortured them and they hadn't healed from the wound I gave them some days back.“ANSWER ME!!”“Noooooo one one sent us,we just wanted to teach her a lesson.” Fred was the one who spoke up.I looked at Frank who nodded that they were saying the

This wasn't my room and what was Logan doing here? I tried standing up from the king size bed but he pulled me back.“You can't go yet.”“Why?” I fronwed.“Because,the doctor haven't cleared you.” He replied,his eyes were on my lips the entire time.I scoffed and he frowned,all of them are the same, this time I stood up quickly walking faster to reach the door, Logan sped in front of me blocking my path. I could swear that he was faster than normal.“You are quite stubborn Isabella.” He folded his arms.“Why did you save me?” I retorted, ignoring his comments.Logan stared

The frequent nightmares was getting to me,I slid out of the bedroom to rinse my face and prepare for my early morning run.For some reason which I still didn't know why,I have been having a relapse of nightmares about Isabella getting killed,the image of the knife plunged into my heart still scares me,I could still feel the pain in my heart when I had that dream.After running around the pack and did some exercises,I went back inside to freshen up before going to take my breakfast eating in silence and alone in the dinning.

I even thought of stripping and wiping myself clean with a napkin,I kept on sniffing myself,no matter how hard I sniffed I couldn't smell anything foul coming from me and that alone made me cry the most.“Isabella.” I froze when I heard his voice from outside.He kept knocking softly until I opened the door, almost bumping into him in the process. He tried to move closer and I stepped back.“What are you doing here Mr Logan?” I fumed angrily.“Were you crying?” He tried to touch my cheek and I held his hand.“What do you want Me Logan?” I asked coldly before releasing his hand.Logan stared at me as if I had grown two heads,but I didn't care. I looked at him with so much determination to say my mind,if I perish I perish.“You haven't answered the question Mr Logan!,let me guess my stench can't make you tal

I gave the file back to Frank who was sitting next to me.“What do you plan on doing with Logan?” He took the file from me..I hadn't come to the conclusion yet,but I had to reject her. I would be risking a lot of things if I accepted her.“I'm rejecting her.” I replied and he spilled the water in his mouth.“Are you crazy!” He yelled and I glared at him.I took the napkin and wiped my hands and mouth,rang the bell and the maids came in to clear the table.I stood up and Frank did the same. I walked out of the dining room with Frank walking beside me.“You are going to get yourself killed.” He said in a whispering tone.I didn't reply,we just kept walking till we got into the car.
