Ethan's P.O.V“Axel?” One of the elders gasped. “Tell me you don't mean the same Axel Nightshade we know.”“I'm afraid the person I talk about is none but the same Axel Nightshade.” I replied gravely. “I believe he has taken Logan and every second that passes, every minute puts Logan at risk at the hands of the madman.” I said.The room fell silent for a while and the elders brought their heads together again and began to whisper rapidly in the same strange language that none of us could understand. They knew fully well that we were all werewolves there and anything they whispered would be heard clearly by everyone and I think it was because of this they had to fall back to whatever language they were speaking whenever they had to speak privately.While the elders talked, I turned slowly to look at Isabella. She sat rigidly with her eyes on me, watching carefully with her observing eyes, when our eyes met, she nodded slowly, a sign of her approval of what I was doing. We both knew t
Isabella's P.O.VTogether, I and Ethan returned to the manor after that long and tedious meeting with the community elders and Alphas and I couldn't help but feel happy that I was finally out of that room and away from the sharp eyes of the men. After the meeting, we had stayed behind to greet and talk to a few Alphas but that didn't take long as I expected since everyone was eager and desperate to leave for their own pack, especially the Alphas who had come from very distant packs.It was nightfall when we finally got back within the safe confines of the Manor. I quickly discarded the heels I wore, the heels which only added to my torture aside the dress that Ethan had bought for the meeting. Ethan himself was on the couch staring blankly into space as if his mind was still occupied with the happenings of the day. I approached him carefully and sat down opposite him.“Thank you for what you did back there Ethan.” I said lowly and softly.Ethan's eyes turned to me. “What did I do?” H
Ethan's P.O.VThe thoughts of Isabella weighed heavily in my mind when I left the pack that morning. I just couldn't bear to look her in the eyes and say good bye so I left her a letter instead, for all I know I'll never get to see her again and she had made it clear and plain that she didn't doesn't want me and would not stay at the pack no matter what.I tried my possible best to forget about Isabella so I tried to think of other things, other pressing matters like the mission I was currently taking, rescuing Logan from the clutches of Axel. I decided I'll make a quick stop at the Ravensong pack before I move on so that was where I was headed presently. I would stop at the Ravensong pack and gather more information before I would continue on my mission and I intended to comb the whole forest in search of Logan.I intended to return only after I've found him and as for Axel... Well, the community had demanded that Axel be brought in alive but I really saw no need for that and while
Ethan's P.O.VThe men were surprised when I mentioned Axel Nightshade, a look of surprise quickly passed through them before they turned their focus to me again.“You mean Axel is with the rogues we're hunting? You mean Axel presently has Logan?” One of the men asked in what I believed was astonishment.I noticed the man said 'Logan' instead of Alpha Logan but I didn't bother bringing that into light so I only nodded. “Yes, Axel had Logan and I intend to find him.” I said calmly.“Well, we would like to stick around then.” The man who was speaking appeared to be the leader or captain of the pack guards I met. “We would really like some helping hand in these parts.” He added.“Okay..” I replied simply. “That won't be a problem considering that we're both on the same side. I am also out hunting for Logan and I intend to leave only after I've located him.” I said.The men exchanged another look and some of them nodded knowingly too before their captain spoke again. “Very well then. Le
Ethan's P.O.VWith the threat that faced me clearly neutralized, I turned my attention to the rogue settlement before me. I knew if this was where Logan was held, Axel would be there which meant the place would be under strict watch too.I slowly inched closer and closer to what appeared to be a cave and at the same time making sure to approach downwind so I wouldn't be smelt out. Once I inched just a little closer I could hear the rogues and smell them clearly but besides the rogues stench, I perceived Logan too!I hastened my speed and approached faster, momentarily allowing my feelings to take the better part of me as I stepped on a few broken twigs on the forest floor. The cracking of the twigs wasn't that loud but to a werewolf it was loud enough.I paused in apprehension and watched the rogues up ahead of me. They were still talking freely and making rude jokes but one of them began to scan my direction and I knew he had heard my movements. I quickly ducked under the cover of t
Logan's P.O.VEvery single molecule of my body screamed out in agony as I hung there on the cave wall. My wounds hurt and ache terribly while my stomach hurt with hunger and my throat dry from thirst. My consciousness kept slipping in and out as I hung there pleading for death to rescue me from that fate.It was one of the moments where I passed out that a loud voice jolted me out of my dreamless sleep. “Attack!” The voice reverberated throughout the cave and continued to echo in my ears for a while. Even in my weak state, I managed to look up, it was just a quick and weak glance but I believed I saw someone at the cave entrance confronting the rogues. The prospect of a savior fueled me with more energy and I looked up again in order to try and decipher what was going on. That was when I saw him, it was Ethan! He was at the entrance of the cave and he was alone.The light of hope that had lit up in my soul was immediately doused by doubt when I remembered my recent disappointment
Ethan's P.O.VWith Axel finally neutralized, a sense of relief washed over me suddenly. Axel was the one person in the whole werewolf community and the wastelands who could go head to head with me, a lot of people actually believed that Axel was the werewolf who had the ability to defeat me but with the results of the fight that had just come to an end, it was obvious that I was yet to find my match.“Come on and free me.” Logan's voice came out hoarse and strained. In my relief I had momentarily forgotten about Logan. His voice made me look up and for the first time since I had come to the cave, I stopped to look at him clearly, taking in his bloodied and mangled form as he hung there on the cave wall.Without a word, I walked up to where he was, and with my sharp claws, I quickly lashed out and cut off the chains that held him in place. Once the chains were off, Logan moved forward, unable to stand and was about to fall but I reached out a hand quickly and held him in place.Logan
Isabella's P.O.VThe dirt road was narrow and dusty, sending cloud after cloud of dust whirling up as our small car drove forward. It's been a while since the last time I was out in the wastelands and coming out this day stirred a lot of mixed emotions and feelings within me.Emily sat beside me grimly with her eyes fixed on the window. Her face was blank and devoid of emotion, giving me reason to believe that she was going through the same thing I was passing through.The car that carried us was driven by one of Ethan's servants, the man was supposed to drop us off and then return to the pack as soon as possible. What really ate me up was the fact that we didn't have the time to say farewell to Ethan before I left.Well it was pretty obvious that Ethan didn't want to relieve the pain of seeing me leave so he left the pack without even saying anything to me, all he left behind was just a note, a farewell note that only threatened to bring tears to my eyes, making me feel guilty too.“
