Chapter 74 Council meeting MIDNIGHT PACKAlpha Adrian smiled widely as he leaned into his chair. Coming to the office had never felt so good like it felt at the moment. Finally he was going to have some relief in his leadership prowess. Despite a part of him trying to remind him of how unfair it was to push Elena's child to a world so full of darkness, he keeps shedding the thought off, saying he is only doing it for a good cause and for the betterment of the pack.He was more happy too because since the first time in long years, Maribel asked for his forgiveness and made a promise to act better. Even though he knew she was definitely going to act mad again, he decided to enjoy the moment while it last. All morning he has been trying to reach out to Ava but she hasn't really been responding.A pack council meeting was to hold today and he wanted them to have some time to themselves before people begin to troop in. They had been unable to finish the other day. His thoughts
Chapter 75 You deserve better MIDNIGHT PACK: CLARK'S HOMEAlice and Jovy walked into the house to find Anna in the kitchen making some nice dish. Anna turned around when she heard their footsteps. "Hey girls, how was school today?" She called out to them."Very fine ma'am." Jovy responded, pulling out a stool next to the kitchen island to sit down."Why are you the one cooking?" Alice asked, wondering what had gotten into her mother all of a sudden and why the in house chef isn't around."Oh, I asked the chef to take a break. I would like for us to eat together and maybe talk." Anna replied as she checked the oven for what she placed in it."Hmmm, what are you cooking? It smells really nice." Jovy commended.Anna chuckled lightly. “Roasted chicken and some Italian pasta.""I can't believe you went all out." Alice noted while her eyes sighted something. "Are those muffins?" She asked, pointing at the set pastries on the far end of the kitchen island."Yes but you aren't suppose
Chapter 76 The Deception MIDNIGHT PACK: CLARK’S HOMESeeing Jovy’s expression, Alice and Anna ran towards her with each of them on her side. "What's the matter Jovy? Why do you look like you had heard from a ghost." Alice inquired, shaking her intensely.Getting a hold of herself, Jovy stared at them. "My dad wants me to be at a place by five.""Did he state any reason why?" Anna asked."No, he only said to meet him at an address he would forward to my phone now. And I shouldn't be a second late.” Jovy replied.Alice went to Jovy’s bag to dig out her phone, unlocking the phone she went straight to her message. Her brows twitched in confusion. “Why would he send you an address to the Council?"Jovy and Anna moved to Alice. Anna took the phone from her. "This is where the Alpha and the rest of the pack council members meet and converse."Jovy bit on her lips hard as she tried to keep still. "Do you think I have been reported to the Alpha by my dad?"Anna nodded. "Maybe.""Ma
Chapter 77 Why so many why’s MIDNIGHT PACKJovy screamed like a maniac, trying hard to wake herself up from the dream. When she had walked into the board room, she should have known it wasn't going to be a good deal for her. Looking towards her father, she couldn't believe he would go to such length just to get rid of her.No one had seen the Mystic Shadows Alpha before but he is described to be ruthless and cruel in his actions. For years, his fortress council members had been on a search to get him a mate and it had been a futile search as no one was interested in becoming a victim of torture and depression. Jovy felt like her whole world was crashing down on her and the ache she felt in her chest was explosive.The Alpha and his pack council members stared in awe at Jovy’s reaction as she kept screaming and throwing out her legs like she would go mad. They knew she would be unsettled with the deal but none of them expected her to loose her mind this way. Letting out all
Chapter 78 Bride to a monster MIDNIGHT PACK PREMISESLogan and Kyrian shared a look when their eyes landed on Jovy. Logan’s wolf had been restless the moment they entered the premises, almost like it could feel the presence of a familiar person.Jovy looked weak as she stood, almost like she would pass out. The moment she moved trying to walk towards Logan, he made a swift turn towards the room. Logan ignored her like they had never met before. She blinked back the tears that threatened to fall at his attitude. Jovy wondered what Logan was doing in the premises and also heading into the board room. It made her curious and for a moment she forgot about her own troubles. Seeing how messy she looked, she headed down the hall in search of the rest room.The look on Logan’s face looked like it would slice through every existing soul in the room. He had clearly told Kyrian that he wasn't interested in coming to the said meeting. However, Kyrian had insisted on him seeing the girl f
Chapter 79 Her betrothed MIDNIGHT PACK: CLARK’S HOMEAlice paced the room back and forth, feeling uncomfortable and a dark sensation keeps hovering over her thoughts as she moved around. Anna heaved a sigh as she sipped from the cup she had in hand."You should have some green tea baby. It would help relax your mind.” Anna offered.Alice threw her head back in frustration and she let out a loud groan. “There is no way I can keep calm mom. I know what Jovy’s father is capable of and I can affirm it to you that they are about to do something cruel to Jovy’s future. My wolf’s instinct is never wrong.”"I really wish there is a way for me to help, but it's not in my place to interfere."Alice walked up to her mother and knelt down in front of her. "You can still do something mom. You have just about enough resources. You can adopt her."Anna sighed. “This isn't the human world baby. Here we don't question parents and what they do with their children especially when the Alpha is inv
Chapter 80 Not a bad idea MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS"I want to believe I am dreaming right now. Did you set this up Logan?" Kyrian inquired as he took a seat opposite Logan, still in awe that Jovy had been the chosen bride.They had just returned from Midnight pack and were seated in Logan’s study. Logan blinked without saying anything."Wow! Just wow! You bad wolf! How did you do it? You knew she was the one all this while?" Kyrian grinned. He sounded like an excited five years old who has just been given a candy.Logan growled inwardly. He was getting tired of hearing his Beta whine all day about him knowing Jovy was the girl chosen for him. He is just as surprised as Kyrian was, even though he was more good at hiding it. There was no way he would have thought it to be her, he was more curious as to why she was the one given away as the bounty price.He had noticed some faint scars on her body the number of times they had sex. If her wolf wasn't latent she would have h
Chapter 81 The inheritance MIDNIGHT PACK: FINLAY’S HOMETommy paced the room back and forth with his hands trembling. He wished Linda was near him cause he would have found comfort in her presence but nothing seem right at the moment as it felt like his heart would flip out of his chest.Jovy’s reaction at the end of the whole discussion made him really scared and bothered. The thought of Jovy bailing out on him and having the brothers on his neck made him shiver. To clear his doubt, he had asked one of his men to follow Jovy and ensure she never leaves Alice’s house until she is heading back home the next day.Sitting on the edge of the bed, Tommy pulled at his tie feeling uncomfortable. He felt the urge to call Linda so bad at the same time he didn't want to expose himself with Ava showing up when he least expects. There was the need for someone to assure him that it would all be good. Tommy had made plans to leave as soon as he can the moment he hands Jovy over the next
Chapter 143 Epilogue NINE MONTHS LATER"She looks so much like you, Logan. This is so unfair!" Jovy whined as she stared at her newborn in the cot. Logan wasn't responding, the sight of his daughter had him so engrossed and he had zoned out completely.Kyrian snickered laughing. “He is smitten by her. You have gotten yourself a competition."Jovy giggled. She couldn't complain cause her miracle was lying cute in the cot. Due to her previous ectopic pregnancy history and the lack of a full wolf, it had been really hard to carry her new pregnancy and despite the suggestion of the doctors to probably abort the child and consider surrogacy later on she had refused. With the continuous support of her family and friends, adequate treatment and following the laid out rules, it had helped her pull through. Jovy gave birth to a healthy four pound baby girl. Keisha was the most beautiful soul she had ever set her eyes on.The door opened letting in Nadia and Anastasia. Nadia looked li
Chapter 142 Sincere apologies GOLD PACKLogan and Kyrian didn't arrive at the Gold Pack until noon the next day. Jovy was almost losing her mind as the day of the meeting drew nearer. It scared her that the Moon Stone and Xavier might never be found. Despite everyone assuring her that Logan would find the Moon Stone her mind was in turmoil. And when a maid came to inform her of their arrival, Jovy almost tripped on the stairs but had been held back by Arlo."Do you intend to kill your child?" He rebuked.Jovy smiled shyly. “No, I’ll be careful.”Logan's eyes shone brightly at the sight of Jovy. Logan almost couldn't hold back but he kept his cool."You found him?" Jovy inquired.Logan nodded, looking towards Kyrian who had Xavier dragged out of the car booth. He looked terrible. "Yes, he was found hiding at the Southside."Everyone gasped. Nadia had a disappointed look on her face. "Xavier! Isn't that the same place Marcel banned you from visiting? Why would you do this
Chapter 141 The Connecting Stone MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian and Logan had returned to the fortress house to pick up the connecting stone that every guardian assigned to the stone owns just incase something like theft occurs. Over centuries there has never been a cause to use it. However, due to unforeseen circumstances was why the Moon Goddess had provided an intending way out.As soon as Logan opened the sacred room where the connecting stone was kept, he coughed out loud alongside Kyrian. There was just about enough dust in the room. However the tiny stone sat pretty on the expensive shawl looking as neat as ever. Logan ran his hands through it with a small smile on his lips."How do we use this?" Kyrian asked out of curiosity."You see this transparent ball." Logan pointed at the rounded ball next to the stone. "The connecting stone would be placed on it. You would be surprised to find it standing just right. It would lead us to wherever the culprit is.""How does
Chapter 140 Baby Father GOLD PACKJovy couldn't believe the news of her pregnancy, all through the night she cried her eyes out and beat herself up for always getting caught in the middle of a burning furnace. She didn't get a hang of herself until two days after she had heard of her present condition. She would have stayed put in her room if her friends and cousin hadn't shown up to pull her out of her depressive state. Nadia was worried of what she might do to herself which was why she made the call."Why do you always act like it's an offense to make mistakes?" Alice rebuked looking displeased.Anastasia rubbed at her neck with guilt written all over her face. “This is all my fault. I should have told you what it was."Arlo shook his head. “You did right by not telling her. She was smitten by him and would have mentioned it along the line."Amelia heaved a sigh. “Don't think too much about it, Jovy. We can't condemn you cause none of us has ever been in your shoes."Jov
Chapter 139 The Guardian GOLD PACKJovy sat down staring into space and her heart ripped out with each passing second. She was sure the Moon Stone had been kept safely in there and she had been sure to not allow anyone know of the password except her. How then did it go missing?Beta Kyrian and Jovy returned to the living room as it appeared the study seemed suffocating. Harry hissed out loud. He had suspected something fishy was going on the moment his spy had called him. There was no doubt Xavier knows something which was why he didn't care about calling Nadia late in the night and he had ordered her to fly back to the pack by morning.The front door opened letting in Nadia with a flushed face. "What is going on?" She asked, rubbing at a dazed looking Jovy's back."Xavier has eloped with the Moon Stone." Harry blurted out.Jovy's head jolted up. “No, Xavier knows nothing about it. I am very sure. I never told him the password.""Why is his line not going through?" He asked
Chapter 138 It is gone GOLD PACK"Can you stop pacing, Xavier. You are making my head turn." Savannah mumbled, attempting to calm him down.Ever since the early hours of the morning that he had asked her to come around, she was worried someone might notice her since she only sneaks in at night. However, it turns out the Luna and his aunt weren't around. Xavier was fuming so hard, he couldn't still hold back the thought of Jovy playing him. All through the night he had been twisting and turning. He couldn't stop thinking of what to do to liberate himself and ensure the Alpha seat becomes his.Savannah stood up and made an attempt to massage his shoulder. "What's the matter, baby? Why are you so worked up?"He turned to face her. “She is seeing someone, Savannah. And now she has been avoiding me since the engagement.""Oh." Savannah mused as she returned to her sitting position. “I didn't know that was what had you bothered."Xavier scoffed. “Are you really reacting jealousl
Chapter 137 The Sound THREE WEEKS LATERNadia sipped her tea, dipping a cookie in her mouth as she flipped through the magazine in her hand. She had resorted to relaxing by one of the living room couches. Her side eye caught Xavier making his way to the door. He must have been engrossed in his thoughts to not have noticed her."Xavier!" She called out.Xavier cursed under his breath and he let out a low sound that showed that his wolf was grumpy. He was in no mood to have any pretentious conversation. But then, he couldn't be pissed at his aunt.Xavier faked a smile as he turned to her. "Good afternoon, aunt. I didn't see you there."Nadia snorted. She could tell he was in no mood to talk. However, she has been wondering if the complete members of the family still lived in the pack house. Aside her brief discussion with Jovy and Xavier the next day after their engagement, she hasn't seen much of the couples."Come here, let me talk to you for a second." She urged.Making his
Chapter 136 The Mark GOLD PACKJovy hissed to herself as she rolled in bed feeling uncomfortable, her emotions were mixed and she could not tell which exactly was at the forefront. Her insides tingled all the way through the entire night after Logan left. He had taken so much from her and she felt like world’s dumbest fool to let him make a fool of her.At the thought of him the mark on her neck tingled. She would have thought the sex was just one of her wild imagination but the mark reminded her of the awful moment that she wasn't suppose to let happen. Tears trailed down her eyes onto the pillow, her engagement with Xavier was today and her mood was in the ruin. She couldn't imagine looking Xavier in the eye after having sex with her ex-husband and there was no way she can mention his name after swearing her past into secrecy. It was more annoying to think of considering how to much she had enjoyed every bit of it. Jovy felt dirty.The constant ringing of her phone brought
Chapter 135 Alpha Logan’s Charm MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSLogan stared into space, perplexed as to what to do with the sudden change in his life. Jovy had made do with her promise to bring him down and he is practically left with nothing but it still won't shake him. However, staring at the tabloid in front of him that reads on Jovy's engagement to Xavier had him fuming hard. To think she wasn't yet totally free from him and she intends to move on with another man without considering him. He definitely wouldn't let that happen.Logan’s eyes glazed at the bold writing and their picture together of how happy they were. After their engagement, the two of them are to mate to become the Alpha and Luna of the Gold pack. A snort escaped Logan's lips. He still thinks Jovy is only joking and wouldn't dare to play around him like that. The anger he had subsided rose in full force when the slated date for the engagement was the next day.Logan stood up in a hurry and grabbed his car keys
