August's POVZoe didn't believe me until I showed her the evidence,her hands trembled as she gave me back the phone.I made space for her so she could cry her heart out, I went back to my seat and waited for her to be calm.Zoe's twin Chloe,was one of Grey's acquaintances that went missing some years back after going on a mission,I hadn't found who Grey was at that time but I was aware about Chloe working for him,my secret investigation on him made me find the truth.Grey was involved in some illegal tracking of wolfsbane, Chloe found out about Grey's mischievous schemes and threatened to reveal the truth to the council.Apparently that didn't go well,I was surprised and shocked when I saw Zoe coming out from Grey's quarters.There was only one deduction I could draw from it and it was that Grey has something he wants from Zoe.“Do…you…know where she is buried?” Zoe asked painfully.Sadly I couldn't answer that,the only person who had the answer was Grey.“I guess you will have to ask G
Azalea's POVI rummaged through Grey's study in search of files or anything that could give him up but the man was uptight, seeing that there wasn't going to be any useful I decided to link his system with mine so that I could track his research and recent docs. After I was done with that I planted a secret camera on his shelf,I was able to do that to his car.When I was satisfied with my work I snuck back outside breathing a sigh of relief in the process that no-one saw me.My phone rang and I was shocked to see that it was my dad who was calling. My heart skipped a beat the last time he called in my past life was when Grey got to him.What day was it?“Dad are.. you okay?” I panicked as I picked his call.“I'm fine, Azalea come back home this instant.” He said in an urgent tone and hung up.I dashed into my room and picked up my jacket before storming out of Grey's palace. Our house was some miles away. It took me about an hour to get there.“Dad!!” I yelled as I rushed inside hurri
Azalea's POV“Calm down babe,I had to tell him so we could get him to be on our side. I never knew he was going to tell you to move away…” August pouted.I went to meet August at his palace, demanding a reasonable explanation for his actions.“I just thought we were supposed to share everything, not to even mention that it was my father that was involved.” I uttered.“I know, I'm sorry.” He said softly while playing with my hair.“Um…there is one more thing you should know.” I adjusted my position so I could sit properly on his lap.“Zoe is in already.” He said.“Really?” “Yes,I told her everything and she is going to do her best to help us.”I felt excited at that point. I really could tell that this time we were going to win against Grey. We were turning his men against me one by one if I could get my hands on another piece of valuable information.“How did she take it?” “She blames herself for not seeing the truth, for being blinded she said something about going to Chloe's pla
Azalea's POVI had to convince August to postpone the mating ceremony,I don't want us to complete the mating bond with Grey still alive. He didn't agree to it at first but saw the need to after I gave him a ton of reasons to.“Good morning Lady Azalea.” I heard a male voice from where I was standing.I turned to see a familiar face but couldn't pinpoint where I had seen it. He walked slowly to my side and gave me a slight bow.“I'm Henry.” He Introduced.“Oh!” I mouthed.“When did you get here?” I whispered.“Yesterday,but you weren't around.” He smiled.I looked around to see if Grey's workers noticed us but they were busy walking to and fro,I dragged Henry by the hand and went to the storage room.“Is something wrong?” He asked worriedly.I shut the door gently and turned to Henry offering an apologetic smile.“I’m…sorry it's just Grey shouldn't know that you and I know eachother.” I chuckled nervously.“Oh.”“August told me some days ago that you will be joining me and I'm sure he
August's POV“I thought you said she was with you,if you had told me you were taking her to your freaking brother's place I wouldn't have allowed you!!” Otis yelled at me while I was driving.“I know, it's my fault.” I replied feeling so guilty.I had run down to his place for help when Azalea hung up,I couldn't think properly her phone wasn't reachable. I was glad I had put a tracker on her phone secretly,it was what we were using to track her location.The rain poured heavily beating the windscreen,I maneuvered the car when the tracking system stopped beeping. Apparently Azalea was somewhere around here,I couldn't see properly because of the rain and drizzling.“Do you think she is in that cabin?” Otis pointed to something.I wanted to stop driving but slowed down when I saw Grey's car.“That is Grey's car, Azalea should be somewhere around here…we have to get down.” I told Otis.I parked the car and we came down to search for her. I spotted Azalea's car and ran to where it was, gla
Azalea's POVI couldn't stop sneezing, August must have heard my noise because he came knocking I the midnight,I was angry at the both of them,he and my dad. I hated the fact that they were being over protective, the only way we can stand a chance against Grey was by staying close with him.And that's where I come in now they want me out of the equation, what now do they expect me to do?Sit at home and watch TV?“What?” I frowned at August when I opened the door.“You've gotten a cold, you have to go to the hospital.” He answered not minding my sassyness.“I don't want to, you know how much I hate hospitals.”August ignored my reproach and entered the room,he waved for me to come and sit. I rolled my eyes and went to sit he brought out some pills for me to use.“Are you still angry?” He asked as he gave me a glass of water.“Do I have a choice? Apparently you both have concluded that I'm a burden.” I taunted.“Azalea.” He warned.I took the pills and swallow the water,my throat burn
Grey's POVMy blood drooled over my hand,I looked at the wall in anger there was the stain if my blood on it but that didn't move me,I growled loudly before marching to seat.Stupid August!I have everything planned out until when I received August's call,and the son of a gun wouldn't let me talk to her,the mating ceremony wasn't around the corner meaning she had like some few weeks to stay with me and some few weeks for me to convince her that she was mine.Or did I do anything to offend her? I doubt that.The last time I saw her she was looking radiant and I'm an hundred percent sure that I didn't do anything to offend her.Then why on earth will August not want her near me?A knock on the door made me stop thinking,I stood up and went to see who it was.“What the heck do you want!” I growled at the new butler I had just hired.“I'm sorry sir for coming at a wrong time but I wanted to inform you that lunch is served sir.” His lips trembled as he spoke.“I don't have apetite.” I ans
Azalea's POVAugust wasn't around,he had a meeting with some of his pack members,the elders specifically demanded why he had postponed the mating ceremony.I was alone in his quarters almost biting my fingers off contemplating whether to go to Grey or not. It wasn't like I was desperate to know what he wanted to say about August because I knew everything that comes out of Grey was lies.After I had made my decision,I left the house in a hurry. I planned on getting back to the house before August arrives.The restaurant Grey booked was a private one and expensive,I was surprised to see that he rented it out for the entire night. I had a tiny change of heart about his attitude at that point but my wolf warned me against my emotions.The only one for us was August.From where I was standing I could see Grey sitting casually as he gazed outside like he was in deep thought.“Let's get this over with.” I whispered as I walked over.The sound of my heels diverted his attention,he stood up fr
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. Without hesitation I bite fiercely into his skin. He yelled in pa
Logan's POVI watched as Isabella stirred in her sleep,her hands always rested on my chest whenever we were sleeping. I used my finger to try the crook of her neck where my mark will be, she shivered at my touch but didn't wake up. I could say she had accepted me but I still wanted to hear it from her.I stood up from the bed gently so I wouldn't wake her up. “Alpha Logan?” I could still hear Frank yawn from the phone.“I'm working from home today, make sure you do a thorough checking of the patrol roaster.” I glanced at Isabella before entering the bathroom.“Okay, is anything wrong?” He asked worriedly.“No,I decided to stay home with my mate.” I answered.“I really have to find my own mate.” He giggled.“Also,I need you to start finding anything suspicious on Jacob, I'm sure he has had his hands dirty before.” I told Frank.Since Jacob wasn't going to back down easily I needed something strong enough to force him to back down by his own will.“Okay,did he do anything again?” “He
Isabella's POVIt took all the pleading tactics I could muster to stop Logan from going after Jacob. If he does then the story would be different entirely. I still hadn't told him about Avalon's message,he would throw a fit if I told him I just decided to keep it a secret and block Avalon from communicating with me.“I told you I'm fine.” I huffed, when Logan insisted that Gaius did a check up.“It's better this way.” Logan nudged me in the direction of the room.I sighed since it was just an x-ray scan and there wasn't any syringe test when I entered the room. Gaius did the screening as he was instructed,I went back to meet Logan outside, Gaius said the test results would be available the next day. “You are done?” Logan asked and I answered.“Are you sure you are-”“I'm fine Logan!” I said before he could finish his words.I didn't feel anything unusual,I felt strong unlike before. It was like the tree incident never happened, speaking of which I didn't know what later happened to t
Logan's POVMy eyes roamed around my trainees, they were strong indeed but still had a lot of work to do on their reflexes,I caught a glimpse of Vanessa approaching me and I returned my attention back to the young men.“Logan.” I heard her voice and I turned to look at her.“Vanessa.” I greeted.“I'm sorry for the trouble my father caused you.” She said in a guilty tone.“Don't blame yourself,I already made things clear the other day. He wouldn't bother me again,I want us to focus on the war at hand.” The North Pack had begun to get reinforcement from another pack,the last message Avalon sent was to send Isabella over and there wouldn't be bloodshed. Who the hell was he kidding,I would teach him a lesson.Isabella belongs to me no one else.And why is he so bent on having her?I suddenly felt a numb feeling,and an excruciating feeling in my chest. I held my chest in pain, Vanessa noticed it and held me,she looked at me with a worried look.I saw Frank running in with a phone held to
Isabella's POVThings had pretty changed when Logan confessed that he loves me,I wasn't expecting like I didn't even imagine that he would fall for someone like me. Although I felt relieved and somehow happy by his confession I had thought that his heart belonged to Vanessa.“Someone is smiling more than usual.” Emma nudged me and I rolled my eyes.She sat down on the grass and helped me with the packing of the children boxes. Sending gifts to the young children was another tradition they did here and for unknown reason I was glad that I'm part of it this year.“So?” Emma sang.“What?” I chuckled.“Luna you've been beaming with joy more than usual,even the birds and nature can testify.” She said and I bursted Into laughter.“Logan confessed that he loves me.” I whispered and her eyes widened. “I've been having these doubts lately about our relationship but I'm willing to give it a try.” I told her.“I'm happy for you!” She said excitedly and hugged me.Our goody time was cut short w
