~Gray~

As I remembered Zoe's words, I knew I had no choice but to say what I had in mind. Who knows, Bruce might just be of help in the best way possible. And clearly, I needed his help more than I ever have.

“I’m out on my way to have her and every single thing that belongs to me which August has taken from me. I can't afford to sit back and watch him have it all.”

He sucked in a deep breath, his gaze menacing and at the same time, oddly calm. His brows furrowed as his dark eyes bored into mine.

“Is that so?” He quizzed, his voice barely a whisper. He took a step forward, his bold frame towering over me. “Do you realize Azalea also belongs to me? What do you intend to give to have her?”

I froze on the spot, his words echoing in my head. “I… I thought—” I choked out when I heard his cocky voice.

“Thought what? That I would leave her for you on a platter?” He quizzed, his voice dripping with amusement. He shook his head and cupped my jaw, tilting my head up to face him. “Listen to me

    ~Bruce~My eyes stayed glued to Gray's, and at this point, I was no longer holding onto Zoe. I had to embrace myself for whatever his theatrics were.I sat up, watching him with amusement. I bet he has forgotten quickly how I warned him earlier. Now isn't it clear enough to him that I had the ultimate power to get whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted it?I've been waiting for this opportunity all my life, after lying to almost everyone that Zoe and I were cousins. But right now, I can't hold back my feelings anymore. Zoe is clearly everything I have been searching for in a woman.Gray aimed at me, anger seeping through his veins. But before he could get any closer, I trapped his legs and hauled him to the ground, pinning him to the floor with one hand.“Can't you see you are in no way close to my league? Why do you keep trying when it's obvious you can't get anywhere close to me?” I quizzed, trapping his neck with my leg.He twisted and turned, desperate to free himself from my gri

    ~August~I had come to the conclusion that no matter what the consequence might be, I must go to the Grand Alpha and ask for his help.Right now, I no longer care what it was that might have transpired between us both in the past. All I was keen on was to get Gray to stop all those stupid rumors he was spreading about me.I also knew he had Azalea, but that was the least of my problems right now. My company was at stake. My pack also—every single thing was crumbling right before my eyes, and despite everything I had tried to convince everyone of my innocence, they didn't seem to see the truth in what I was saying.As I stood there in front of the Alpha, Bruce, I couldn't help but crawl on my knees, rolling desperately at his feet—all for his help.But when I raised my head up to meet his gaze, I saw nothing but clear indifference. He obviously wasn't moved by everything I had said… not even a bit.“Is—is anything the matter, my King?” I asked, my voice shaking as I desperately sought

    ~August~“Of course. Why else would I be here if I wasn't serious about everything I just said?” My voice rang out, desperate and determined. “I want to know how you managed to get so much information about me, and I mean every bit of it.”I hated myself for sounding so vulnerable and desperate before a mere butler. But at this point, I didn't really care about anyone's position anymore.That same butler I was looking down on initially is the same person fighting and going all out of his way to make sure that justice was served in my case.I didn't mind answering to him or obeying each of his words, just as long as he was willing to find a solution to all my incurred problems.“Okay fine.” He said and sucked in a deep breath. “Those men whom you saw here earlier are all experienced private investigators. But I didn't get them here on my own accord, Azalea did.”My breath hitched.Azalea? How's that even possible?“She has been planning for a day like this, and as such, she decided to

    ~August~When the waiter went off to get the requested drinks, I stood up, taking an excuse to visit the restroom. “I'll be right back.” I said, offering Zoe a tight smile before I finally made my way out.I was already stepping out, going back to meet her when I felt a person's hand on my shoulder. Fear gripped me, and I shuddered, turning around slowly.But I was rather relieved when I saw the spy standing behind me.“What are you doing here?” I muffled under my breath, turning around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on us. I lowered my head, my voice barely a whisper. “Aren't you supposed to be there watching her every movement?”“Of course, yes. That's the exact reason why I'm here.” My eyes flashed with disbelief, his words echoing in my ear repeatedly. I nodded and leaned forward. “Okay tell me, why are you here?” “It's about Zoe.” He started, making my anxiety rise. “She… she has just drugged your drink. I don't know what she's up to but you have to act fast and smart.” A

    ~August~Henry let out an exaggerated laugh. “You're joking right now, aren't you?” He asked, somewhat drawn aback by what I had said. “Where do you intend to take her this time?”“Well, we'll find out tomorrow.” I remarked, sighing in resignation as I bent down to pull Zoe out of the car. The same way, I hauled her onto my shoulder, holding her legs firmly as I took her into my room. ~Next Morning She jolted awake with a startled snort, her eyes drifting off like she was daydreaming.“Where am I?” She choked out as she wiped her face with her palm. I couldn't help but laugh, clapping my hands at the same time to gain her attention. “Wakey wakey.” I teased, approaching her.I raised my face over hers, watching her with a victorious smile. “Surprised, aren't you?” I asked, shoving a strand of her hair gently to the side. She winced, her puffy eyes glaring at me with a heated intensity.“What am I doing here?” She sat up and began to access herself. Then she returned her gaze at me

    ~August~ As we approached the palace, I already sighted Bruce from a distance. He was seated as usual in his manor, but this time, it seemed as though he was in the company of someone. The moment he saw me approaching, hauling Zoe behind me, he sprang up to his feet, his eyes burning with a raging anger. “What's going on here?” His voice rang out, fierce and enraged. Then he walked up to Zoe, accessing her carefully. His gaze spun to me, his face boiling with anger. “I demand an explanation for this. Why is she being dragged this way to my palace?” Just then, I heard a soft hum behind me. Turning back, my eyes reeled with disbelief the moment I saw Gray. He didn't look fine—not one bit. He looked like he was in duress. He kept his gaze ahead, acting blindly to my presence. “Gray?” I called out his name, but still no response. Worried, I released Zoe and crept up to him, hauling his clothes aggressively. “You must think you're wise huh? After rendering me useless with your mistre

    ~August~“Why does the king seem to despise you so much?” He asked, his eyes turning pale and concerning. It was as though he was reading my mind all along. This is exactly the same question I've been asking myself since Bruce suddenly started acting funny towards me. I could swear that I had no idea why he was that mean towards me.What was more surprising was the fact that he had now gotten close to Gray more than he was with me. It made me wonder how Gray possibly managed to maneuver his way into his life and make him get fond of him all of a sudden.Well, that's nothing to worry about anymore as it's obvious the deed has been done already and the only thing I should be worried about now is how to get my way back to Bruce's life.And now, with Henry asking me this question, my determination only grew. I shook my head, my voice low. “I also have no idea why he's acting that way. But I promise you, I'll make sure I get my way back by all means possible.”Henry froze. His eyes spelt

    ~August~“Azalea?” I called out, still finding it difficult to believe my eyes. How come she's here all of a sudden when I had barely even stepped foot in the palace? “How…how's this even possible?”My voice was shaky now, showing just how confused I was. “Calm down, August. I'll tell you everything you need to know.” She muttered as she took my hand and led me towards the palace.When we were settled, she leaned close to me, her eyes both confusing and disturbing.I was getting hell sick of her silence already. “Can you say something already? Why the hell are you still quiet until now? You're keeping me in the dark.” “I understand, but you need to be patient. I'll definitely tell you everything you need to know.”“Then go on!” I blurted out, completely unconscious of my tone. “Go ahead and say something. I'm tired of this suspicious game you're trying to play.”Her eyes darkened and she leaned back, a tight frown on her face. “I heard everything that happened back there between you

    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

    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 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
