~Azalea~

I froze from the weight of his words, my legs feeling suddenly heavy like the whole world was underneath them.

His face turned serious, sending my mind spiraling in thoughts. Now I had suddenly forgotten how to express myself to him. It was as though his words had gotten me completely dumbfounded.

“Azalea.” Bruce's calm voice broke through the silence around me again. He crouched beside me, gently cradling me in his arms. His touch was steady, and reassuring, and his presence alone eased the fear.

My whole body suddenly eased up, feeling like it had been consumed by a whole different energy entirely.

“Are you okay?” he asked, stroking my hair and surprisingly, I was. His touch soothed me and the fear was no longer there. Only the aftermath of that beast's visit, and a slight headache.

I nodded, flashing him a huge smile as I felt his warmth around me. “Yes, yes. I'm fine, just that… You know what, forget about it. I have something more important to tell you.”

His eyes narrow

    ~August~I was still unable to get over Azalea's flight from the packhouse. It was as though my bond towards her suddenly increased as soon as she was gone.Now there was obviously no way to get her back because she was in the hands of the Alpha King.I still wonder what he had seen in her that made him decide to harbor her and even fight for her like his whole life depended on it.No matter what, I had to find a way to bring her back. She belongs to me and no one is going to stop that from happening, not even the almighty Alpha King who thinks himself a Lord over us.Following Zoe's suggestion, I came to the conclusion to go into the king's palace secretly and capture her without his knowledge.But while we were still at it, thinking of the best way to go about the plan, I began to notice a growing sense of attraction between Zoe and Gray.At first, I overlooked it, seeing it as a friendly bond between two people who get to meet themselves through me, but soon I realized it was way m

    ~August~At that instance, I was both dumbfounded and scared, my head spinning from the sound of his voice.Before finally summoning the courage to look up at him, I took a shaky breath, feeling his hard gaze on me.“Alpha I—” I began, my voice trembling. “I…I really do not know how else to make you believe me, but you really need to believe me on this. I know absolutely nothing about Azalea, her whereabouts or whatsoever. I know nothing, I promise.” He roared in laughter, his face twisted in a menacing smile. “Oh really? You really do not know anything about her whereabouts, huh?” I nodded, not knowing what to expect next. But something within me kept telling me that King Bruce was not here for jokes. I couldn't get over this voice which kept urging me to just give in already.But what if I did? Will that make Azalea come out of her hiding place? Will that finally convince Bruce that I was innocent after all? Of course not! Doing that would only cause more harm than good, as Bruce

    ~August~“Come on. Quit pretending already. You should have grown past this by now. Why are you doing this to yourself?” Gray repeated his exact words, shocking me even more.Amidst the argument between the both of us, Bruce remained mute, his eyes unwavering and his anger boiling with intense anger.I could feel it from his gaze, how furious and upset he was at this point. I bet I'm as good as dead already. If Gray could be bold enough to do the same thing Zoe had done to me, then it only means one thing—Bruce would never spare me, not for any reason.The only intervention I could get at this point to stop him from unleashing mayhem on me is if Azalea could show up in the middle of this heat.But clearly, that's not possible. Azalea had left and left for good, and I doubt if she's going to return, especially when it's clear that she had left for her sanity.So apparently, all hope seems lost already. I suddenly gave up trying to prove myself right as it was no use anymore. Bruce tur

    ~Azalea~My eyes widened as I saw people approaching the house. They looked exactly like the palace guards. What could they be here for? My curiosity piqued when I saw August in their midst.I was enveloped with fear knowing that they were obviously here to search for me. I stayed still for a while, staring in their direction to confirm my suspicion.It was indeed August and those guards worked for Bruce. My stomach churned. There was obviously no need to waste more time further. These men were certainly up to no good, and I wouldn't sit back and let them capture me—one more time. I guess I had suffered enough. I couldn't even imagine myself returning back there to cohabit with them.Before they could get any closer to the door, I quickly made my way to father's special hideout—the underground which looked exactly like a marble floor.I bet no one would ever find out there's an opening there, let alone a hideout, unless they had seen it being opened before them.As soon as I climbed t

    ~Bruce~Azalea was smarter than I had ever imagined. How was it possible that she made it out of the house before our arrival? How else was I supposed to explain that she had some mysterious powers within her?I shot a glare at August, feeling my anger return back with its full force. Somehow, I still believed that he had a hand in whatever was happening. I was so sure that he had an idea where Azalea was, and that's the exact reason why I had made up my mind to come with him to this same place when he had mentioned it to be her house.But after a thorough search in the large building, it was confirmed that she wasn't anywhere around the building.Somehow, I could still perceive her scent, and that only meant she was close by, probably even watching us.Unfortunately, I wasn't in for any more searching at that point. The nighttime was quickly falling upon us, and if we eventually got caught up in the woods, it would only mean disaster as we might blindly step into some hidden traps si

    ~Azalea~I maintained a stoic gaze, leaning back in my seat as I fought back the sting of tears welling up in my eyes. Bruce's words had only ended up getting me emotional, but I couldn't afford to let out my emotions before him.Though in doubt, I still had this weird feeling that he was here for good. Everything about his presence got me suddenly drawn to him once again.But I wanted to be sure I wasn't making a mistake by returning back to him. I just hope I won't end up in regrets once again.A lump formed in my throat as I braced myself to face him. His warm hands holding deeply onto mine, was just the reassurance I needed to reconsider him.I guess this is the point where I have to tell him everything that had transpired between us—August and I. I wanted him to know every single thing, so that he would understand why I was being skeptical all this while. There was just something odd about him that made me choose to trust him once again, even though I had been betrayed by werewol

    ~August~Bruce returned to the palace, somewhat excited than he was when he had left earlier. It was strange and at the same time questionable because I could still remember how he had yelled at me, furious and troubled by Azalea's disappearance. What could be the reason for his sudden excitement this time?I had been turned into his personal slave, pending when Azalea finally returned. As he marched into the palace excitedly, I dropped the items I was cleaning with, approaching him to receive his bags as usual.But to my surprise, he hesitated, pushing me away from his side. His once excited face suddenly switched into a full-blown aggressive look.“Don't you dare!” He roared, shooting me a sidelong glare. He hissed and continued on his way towards his room, leaving me lost in thoughts.My eyes fluttered, my mind wandering off in thoughts. This was really strange of him. He was excited at first, but then everything suddenly turned sour when I offered to help with his bag.I soon wave

    ~Azalea~August let out a tight frown as soon as he saw me, but I paid no attention to him. He's obviously blaming himself right now, so there's obviously no point stretching things further.I wrapped my hands firmly around Bruce's, heading with him into the palace when August's voice brought us to an abrupt stop.I cringed when I heard him ask Bruce to fulfill his own part of the bargain by letting him out of the dungeon. That alone made me understand why he had visited my home earlier. No wonder he was so particular about finding me at all costs. My heart not only bled for the second time, I was also deeply disappointed in him.Hearing him speak, I just knew he was never interested in finding me for his own personal reasons, but that of the King instead. How could he?I shot him a sidelong glance as we approached the manor. I was certain he surely understood what that look meant, judging from the way he rolled his eyes and lowered his head. Guilt was written boldly all over his fa

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

    Isabella's POV“I….I…didn't want to tell you about it, because I thought I had it covered.. 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 went to give her a hug and she whisp

    Logan's POV'You should have asked her about it.’ my wolf stated sadly.I had taken Isabella down to the training center for the pack members,she excused herself to use the restroom and seeing that she was taking longer than expected,I went to check how she was doing and then I overheard her conversation with Avalon. 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

    Logan's POVI stared at Isabella who was still sleeping,I checked where I had bitten which was still swollen,I brushed her lips with my fingers. I couldn't withhold myself last night,the fact that I was her first gave me this possessive feeling and I badly wanted to claim every single part of her.“Good morning.” I smiled, when Isabella opened her eyes.“How are you feeling?” I asked knowing how I made her pass out.She casually glanced under the cover,she looked back at me and covered her face with her hand. I smiled at her cuteness and removed her hand gently. Her eyes were still shut and I nudged her to open them.“You don't have to be shy or embarrassed Isabella.”“I love that it was your first time.” I said softly and she removed her hand.“I'll help you take a bath.” I pecked her lip and stood up.I went in and ran the water for her,the weather was cold so I made the water warm for her. When I went back inside she was already about to stand up from the bed,the duvet wrapped arou

    Isabella's POV“Thank you Isabella.” Logan whispered,his eyes were still dark.His breath became uneven and I was worried I stood up from the bed and I sat upright and looked at him,his countenance had changed.“Logan?” I called worriedly.“You should go to sleep now, I'll sleep on the couch.” He said all of a sudden and turned his back.“Why?” I stood up.“Logan?” I called again when he refused to look at me.“Logan.” I went closer and touched me.“You should keep a distance from me Isabella, it's hard for me to control myself and I don't want to hurt you.” His eyes had returned to its normal colour.I felt hurt by the statement,it was like he was saying I was a doll that he didn't want to break,I felt it was because I'm different from the other girls he used to be with that was why he was holding back.“Is it because I'm not like the wolves of your pack?” I felt my self esteem lowered.“No.” He frowned.“I guess it's because I don't have the body shape men tend to go crazy about.” I

    Isabella's POVI bit my finger nervously and in fear as soon as I heard growling,the fear I had for rogues prevented me from following Logan inside,I was scared to the point that my whole knees were trembling. I heard a loud bang on the door and I ran down the stairs. I waited for Logan to show up but he never did.I screamed when I felt a strong hand pull me and I could feel a claw on my neck.“LOGAN HELP!!” I screamed when I realized that one of them had found me.“Keep shut!” He growled and I whimpered.I heard another growl and I saw a very big black wolf, its eyes red. I have never seen any of its kind before,it walked slowly to where we were with caution and I felt that presence.Logan's wolf?“Don't…come…any…closer…or.. I'll KILL HER!” The rogue threatened Logan.Logan's wolf stepped backwards,my heart thumped loudly, I decided to do something unthinkable, my eyes lowered to the rogue's hand that was still on me.
