In front of us was Ethan staring at us with daggers in his eyes. “What the hell are you doing here?” He frowned curling his fists in anger. “Well I- I got lost and Edna helped me out, she’s not at fault here.” I quickly explained pulling Edna behind me to prevent her from getting hurt, I had witnessed the feeling of his claws and if I wasn’t an alpha too I doubt I would have been able to survive that easily. “Leave.” He ordered Edna who immediately walked out of the room without hesitation, the air became even more tense and I could no longer hold our gaze and averted my eyes elsewhere. “What are you doing snooping around here?” He questioned, his body towering to me in an intimidating manner that sent chills down my spine. “I wasn’t, I just told you I got lost while looking for you earlier and landed in here,” I explained but he didn’t seem to believe the story. “I want you to keep in mind that although we’re in the same house you would not go into any room nor touch anything tha
Furrowing my brows I squinted my eyes trying to figure out what or who’s he was pointing to. “What do you mean?” I finally questioned when I didn't spot anyone in sight. “My aunt is watching us from her room so we need to be careful, remember we are newly weds and need to act lovey dovey.” He explained still gazing at the house and I finally saw the figure from one of the windows staring at us. “Oh.” I muttered scouting for him to have a chance to sit beside me but made sure to keep a safe distance between us. “So….” He trailed off staring into the garden. “I apologize for earlier, I should’ve minded my business instead of being curious.” I mouthed averting my gaze back to the flowers. “It’s fine, I guess I overreacted.” He shrugged still with a stern gaze. I had the urge to ask him who the woman was, seeing me in that room seemed to have been quite bothersome for him “There you are!” A woman’s voice shrieked, drawing both our attention, turning the source of voice, it belonged
Logan’s pov Slumping into my study chair, I sank back and let out a heavy sigh. My gaze drifted aimlessly around the room, lost in a sea of frustration and exhaustion. Today had drained me to the bone, leaving me feeling utterly defeated. The news of Isabella's marriage struck me like a sudden thunderstorm on a clear day. For days, I had wandered around, consumed by the need to find her and beg for forgiveness for the mess I made on what should have been our wedding day. The weight of my actions is pulling me down and my heart is heavy with the burden of guilt that I now bear. I began to wonder if I truly loved Elena . Whenever I think of her, I realize I never truly liked her. I only married her because she got pregnant, and I felt trapped in the moment, unable to leave her. “Any idea who she got married to?” Logan questioned the guard standing silently in front of him. “Not at all sir but I heard that it’s someone powerful.” He replied. Someone powerful? If this person held re
Isabella’s pov Lately, Ethan had been scarce around the house, leaving me with idle hands and a wandering mind. Having exhausted the books at my disposal, I found myself aimlessly pacing the familiar corridors. It was then that I decided to pay a visit to his study, hoping we could sort things out. As I approached the door, I gently rubbed my knuckles against it, pausing to lean in and listen for any sign of his presence on the other side. I knocked lightly and waited nervously for his response. "Come in," his voice resounded. I hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside, closing the door behind me with a soft click. He glanced up, a mix of displeasure and surprise flickering across his face as our eyes met. It had been a while since we'd exchanged more than a passing glance or a curt nod. Lately, it seemed like we were worlds apart, each lost in our own thoughts and emotions, unsure how to bridge the growing divide between us. “What are you doing here?” He questioned whi
Logan's POV I stood gazing upon a massive pool of blood. The sight filled my heart with sorrow and fury, for it was a cruel reminder of the devastating loss suffered by my men, taken down by rogue wolves. My face was masked in anguish and determination to take revenge on whoever it was, my face etched with lines of sorrow and furrowed brows, as I mourned the fallen and contemplated the vengeance that burns within myself. “This is no doubt an attack from the rogues who have been attacking recently.” My beta Zain confirmed while observing the injuries of my men. “Keeping silent right now isn’t going to help.” I clenched my jaw, feeling the weight of responsibility settling on my shoulders. “What do you suggest I do? Waging war on those feral idiots would do us no good as they have nothing to lose.” I pointed out “And we have everything to lose if we choose to remain silent to their threats, more lives would be taken, and even worse they could kill you and take over the pack.” Zain
Isabella’s pov “Have a good night you two.” Aunt Abby smiled tugging my hair behind my ear while holding my hand, we had a wonderful evening meal together even though it was mostly awkward around Ethan. “I know he’s a huge pain in the ass but keep supporting him okay? He’s still my good boy.” “Are you gossiping about me again Aunt Abby?” He feigned ring annoyed outing his lips at her. “It’s not fair.” Seeing this playful part of him was very much weird and at the same time pleasing, my heart pounded as I stared at him quietly before averting my gaze when I noticed him staring at me. “We’ll just be good to her, she’s a lovely woman and most importantly get me nieces and nephews.” Aunt Abby huffed, at that moment the tension between Ethan and I hung in the air as I tried not to react to what she had just said but for a reason, my heart skipped the best hearing that, I mentally pleaded for him to get me out of this situation before she would say even more awkward things. “We would be
Logan's POV A knock on the door echoed through the hallway, making me tear my gaze away from the documents scattered across my desk. "Enter," I called out, my voice steady despite the turmoil churning within me. The door creaked open, revealing the imposing figure of General Greenfield. His presence commanded respect, a testament to his years of service and experience in the field. " Alpha Logan," he greeted me with a firm handshake, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "I trust you're well?" I returned his handshake, though my grip felt weaker than usual. "As well as can be expected, General," I replied, forcing a smile that took over the crease of nervousness on my face which was later replaced by the look of surprise and relief. The truth is even though I asked Brian to summon General Greenfield, I didn't think he would be here this quick since he is a quite busy man. Now that he is here, a sense of relief and calmness washed over me, knowing he can help us stra
Logan's POVI stood there watching my men train hard each day for fear of their lives, a sense of guilt enveloped me. As an alpha, I should be able to defend my people even in their sleep, but with the current situation, we both need to protect each other but still, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. I somehow felt I had let them down. “Alpha Logan”,” Alpha Logan”. I heard a voice call through the haze of my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. "Alpha Logan," one of my guards called out, his tone respectful yet urgent.I turned to face him, my brow furrowing with concern. "Yes, is there a problem?" I asked, my heart skipping a beat at the possibility of bad news.The guard shook his head, his expression reassuring. "Not at all, Alpha. You have a guest""A guest?" I echoed, surprise flickering across my features. "Where is he?""He's in the waiting room, Alpha," the guard replied with a bow before stepping aside to let me pass.I made my way to the waiting room, my pa
