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
August's POV“You did what!” I growled at Azalea.She stepped back, cowering in fear my wolf was already on the edge at the fact that she went behind my back to meet Grey. But Azalea had to make things worse by accepting Grey's proposal to turn against me.The worst part and painful was she told him that she loved him all in the name of revenge.“August…you…need to calm down.” Azalea whimpered.I shut my eyes tightly trying to calm my wolf down,I reopened them and saw Azalea standing like a scary cat. She had never seen me acting this way.“I’m sorry.” I whispered.“Me too,but we can't keep playing safe ... .we need to take greater risks and steps.” Azalea said before she started sobbing.I watched as Azalea bent down and broke into tears,my heart clenched when I saw her remorseful state. I bent down to persuade her to stop crying but the tears flowed down heavily when I did.“Azalea.. I'm sorry.” I confessed.It was wrong for me to act that way,but my anger clouded my thinking.“I…w
August's POVThe guy's family wasn't staying in any of the werewolf packs, he was staying in the human territory,my men were already there waiting for me. “Alpha August.” They bowed immediately and I stepped down from the car.“Where are they?” I asked the one I put in charge.“Over there.” He pointed to one of the apartments in the tall building.“Let's go then.” I followed them.The building showed the financial state of the guy's family. What I still didn't understand was why they, being werewolves, would want to live amongst humans.My men knocked on the door and the door opened revealing an old woman who was almost bent over.“Who…are you?” She asked in a very low voice.I looked away from her to the one beside me and whispered. “I thought you said his family?” “Yes sir,we are in the correct building.” He looked up to confirm the number again before nodding at me.He came closer to me and asked the old woman. “Is this where Jack lives ma'am?” He asked her.“Are.. you one of his
Azalea's POVI take back every word of not wanting to associate myself with people or to keep friends. Meeting Zoe personally and having conversations with her shows me that she really is a good person.Since then we've bonded and kept tabs in eachother, August himself was surprised at our closeness, which he didn't counter.“So what are you up to?” August asked me as he served the pancake.“Going to Zoe's.” I answered, spreading the mayonnaise on my bread.“But before that am I likely go to Grey's palace,he said something about wanting to see me.” At my words, August slammed the plates on the table.I whispered sorry to him softly before taking a bite on my bread,I watched as he took his seat with a deep scowl on his face.“Don't go there Azalea.” He warned. “Whatever you want to discuss,do it on phone.” He said sternly,not sparing me a glance.“What if he gets suspicious and later find out that I was lying to him.” Grey was a smart person avoiding him will just prove my words otherw
Azalea's POVI sent multiple of pictures to August as Zoe and I planned on entering,she said she found out about the house one day when she stumbled on Grey and Sebastian conversation.She said something about Grey and I coming here but Grey was the only one who entered.“Shouldn't we wait for Alpha August?” Zoe glanced at me when we were in the front of the door.I tapped my feet slightly on the floor,my curiousity was getting the best of me at that moment.“Your curiosity is getting into you right?” Zoe said.“We are going in.” I told her before pulling out my hair pin.I bent down and tried to work my way Into thelock,Zoe bent down also but this time she just watched with keen interest on what I was doing.The lock clicked and I smiled, Zoe gasped when I opened the door. I was about to step my foot Inside but she pulled me back.“What if Grey is inside?” She asked.I looked past her to the back but there wasn't a car around, there might be possibility that he was Inside the house
August's POV“This can only be the confirmation of what's going on.” I paused and looked at the twinkling pairs of eyes.“Apparently Chloe was Grey's mate.” I told them and they gasped.Zoe was fazed. I took the picture frames from Azalea and returned it back,my instinct kicked in warning me that Grey or someone else might be coming here.“We have to go.” I stood up from the bed to the bathroom.A series of coughs left my mouth when I entered. After picking the air freshener I bolted out and came outside, Azalea and Chloe were already standing, their eyes landing on the bottle in my hand.“To clear our scent.” I told them. “Grey knows all three of us, so he can tell that we came here and that wouldn't be good for any of us.” I finished talking and went ahead to spray the room.It was when we had successfully left Grey and Chloe's supposed house and we were in the car that I got to tell them about Jack and the evidence we found at his place.Zoe didn't keep her cool any longer. She wep
Azalea's POVMy eyes followed Grey's movement as he paced around sweating like someone who had just lost a child. I whispered to Henry was standing by if he knew what was wrong because Grey suddenly just called and asked for me to come over.“Azalea!” Grey matched to me before Henry could answer.“Um…you are acting strange honey.” I said in a low tone.“Has August been doing anything shady? Has he been meeting anyone!!” Grey yelled at my face and I flinched.“I think you need to calm down,I don't even know what your m are talking about.” I retorted.Grey saw me panicked,he then went to sit down. He kept tapping his feet on the ground in a dangerous manner before looking at me.“I just lost my goods and my money.” He looked at me painfully.It was then I got it,he was angry because of the wolfsbane my dad and August burnt. I heard it cost a lot of money.But why was he asking about August in that manner?Is he suspecting him?“Oh…I'm so sorry.” I faked sympathy.“You don't…know how har
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. 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
