The Luna's Law Chapter 53
*Logan*I lay in my bed, propped up on the pillow that smelled of apple pie, and watched both my girls sleeping, curled on the massive bed, holding each other's hands. An intensely red, warm quilt with Christmas gift patterns shines in your eyes like the glow of a burning fire in the fireplace. Vampires know no moderation in decorating, playing, eating, drinking, or in life in general. Their fortunes are always countless, their estates are exaggerated, and their tastes are tacky, starkly contrasting to my simple, balanced life.My quarters in Andrew's grand mansion remained consistent, always the smallest yet still resembling a luxurious suite. However, they eschewed the use of gold embellishments, Persian rugs, and furniture from the Baroque era. I appreciate simplicity, but they went overboard in adorning my room, leaving it resembling the epitome of a picturesque scene from a Christmas magazine.'What's wrong with the decorations? It's Christmas.' Gunnar reminded me while making h

*Rose*I stared at my fingernails, a stark reminder of the day I fled my home. The once pristine nails, now chipped and almost to the point of bleeding, mirrored the upheaval in my life. I never imagined I would be fighting for my life in my own home, nor did I anticipate the drastic changes it would bring. But it did and transformed me in ways I could never have foreseen.I knew my journey would be difficult, full of traps and monsters. Tanner told me many stories about his kind and what they are capable of, but I didn't believe him, not at first, at least. I sniffed as his handsome, smiling face flashed in my mind.Our meeting was a twist of fate, or so he claimed. My art gallery was closed that day, and I had grand plans. But all that changed when I discovered my flat tire. I called my friend for help, but he was out of town, so he sent his friend instead. I waited, and my life took an unexpected turn when a black SUV rolled down my lawn.I had never seen such a handsome man before
The Luna's Law Chapter 56
*Rose*I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths before the stinging sensation vanished, and I washed away all the remnants of the dried blood, paint, and sweat. Azize stood from the chair, and the man everybody referred to as a Highlord took his place. He looked like a carbon copy of Azize but had more eyes like the azure ocean. They smiled at each other, and Azize grabbed a heavy oak chair and dragged it across the beautiful oriental carpet, leaving traces on it. I widened my eyes, but she just shrugged her shoulders, placed the chair next to me, and sat down, crossing her legs, revealing her naked porcelain leg covered with several flowery tattoos."The pretty royal boy must find a chair himself." She mocked the incomer and placed her hand on my armrest."We are ladies; I am her moral and emotional support." She pointed at me and straightened up in her seat.My heart beat faster, fearing that her offensive comment might cause trouble, but the man before me chuckled, and the one

*Logan*"Is he alive?" I asked after I closed the door.I knew that whatever they came here to report would impact Rose, so it was better to discuss it without her, avoiding a potential meltdown.Andrew's shades are known for not beating around the bush. That's how they're trained. They are supposed to be guided by reason, not emotion, so my question was answered, although they reported not to me but to their Lord."He was alive when we received the update. At least, that was his status for the last ten hours. He was seen near the reservoir the girl mentioned before they took him away. He had a cut and one stab wound near his sternum. He was put into the back of an SUV and driven off towards the access road to Larch Groove Pack, but they never got there. The car disappeared about forty miles before the pack's border and turned up burned in a garbage dump about a hundred miles east of the city." One of the shadows reported, but nothing he said indicated Tanner's survival.I walked back

*Logan**August 13th. The following delivery went as planned, with Seamus requesting a double dose of the opioid for his hallucinogen, which slowly began to lose its potency four days after the test subject took it. Motor skills are fully preserved, but after two days, they start to suffer from convulsions and have a slight limp.I don't know how much longer I can look at all this without trying to save these people, but I know I won't be able to do anything against twenty alone, and that's just a drop in the ocean. Seamus has recruited not only his members but also rogues and humans who are even willing to do this crap for money. I must get this to Poppy quickly because my time as her informant is running out.*September 24th. I almost got caught today carrying vials out of the Larch Creek Valley lab at the old disused mill. I managed to slip away unnoticed by the men armed with Wolfbane-loaded rifles, but I dropped two of the three stolen vials and could not retrieve them. This

*Poppy*I knew that these days, I would have to challenge myself, push my limits, and even agree to do things I would never imagine. But I also knew that sometimes, we must sacrifice our beliefs and do everything to stop evil from spreading. I wasn't expecting to be part of some mission impossible that involved spying, risking my life, and, above all, playing a role that I wasn't sure I would be good at. I wanted to help, but as soon as I heard what role I had in it, Logan himself had problems letting me go alone with Azize."Don't worry about your boyfriend. He's more than capable of handling his mission alone, yet my brother and his two thugs will join him," Azize assured me while driving her SUV with her best warrior in the passenger seat."He's not my boyfriend. I am still mated, remember." I rudely reminded her, trying to sit comfortably in the back with my hands and legs cuffed."Yeah," she scoffed, "And I am the Queen of Kindness. Bullshit. I can sniff a relationship from mile
The Luna's Law Chapter 60
*Poppy*I requested, "Stop the car," but Azize didn't react and even increased the speed slightly."I said stop the car; I need you to lend me your friend," I repeated and gestured at the tall, lean, incredibly handsome man with a bored face on the passenger's seat."And why would I do that?" Azize nagged with an equally bored face, but I rolled my eyes at her attitude.I knew she wasn't happy with her brother's request; she was more interested in going with Logan straight to Larch Creek Valley to search for Tanner and that lab, but her brother convinced her that my part of the mission was also essential. She felt resentful as one of the best warriors in their family, and as one of the deadliest assassins known to the vampire people, she was probably not having fun playing babysitter.This woman was made of the souls, screams, and blood of the victims she killed. Her single gaze was chilling, and her quick reflexes and precise cat-like body made her a deadly and perfect weapon. Her ni

*Poppy*I winced as I wiped the blood from the busted lip with my dirty and soaked sweater. I was cold, downright freezing, but my goal of asking the assassin to roughen me up was achieved. I rearranged myself on the backseat and moaned when the bruises I received brushed against the seat belt plugs."Don't you dare to whine; you asked for this," Azize threatened while she handed me the bottle with electrolytes I requested after she took the task I gave her to the heart."I know, thanks. Remind me never to ask you for such things again." I grabbed the bottle and gulped it down while she and her right-hand man, Blaze, chuckled at my expanse."Don't worry, Blondie. Next time, I'll handle the task instead," Blaze joked as he lit his cigarette and opened the front window."How long have we until?" I asked, exhausted from the trip, the beating, the coldness of my clothes, and the frosty air from the now-open window."About an hour. So, better rest for a bit." She replied before scolding he
