Chapter 91 Bitter truth MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSTaking steady and caution steps, Arlo held up his breath to avoid running into Logan. He had intentionally come into the mansion knowing he would be at the office. His mind has been on Jovy for a while and all he wants to do is see her and talk to her most especially because he knows she would need the company really bad. Logan would have set out his rules and Jovy would partially be living like a prisoner in her matrimonial home."Good afternoon, Sir Arlo." One of the maids greeted as they almost bumped into each other.Arlo almost leaped out of his skin cause he had totally forgotten that there are people around and he would surely meet them. He cleared his throat and stood upright. "Afternoon to you too. Is the Alpha around?" He asked despite knowing the answer."He left for work already.""And the Luna?""She should be at the garden. I will excuse myself sir, thank you." The maid mumbled before walking away.Arlo heaved a si
Chapter 92 A new leaf MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS"I mean it Arlo, you should taste the cream. I am sure I mixed it well." Jovy pleaded, lifting the mixing spoon in hand for him to taste from.The both of them had taken the kitchen to themselves just to test out Jovy's cooking skills. She has been learning for close to two weeks with the help of the laptop Arlo bought for her. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as she had imagined.Arlo made a face at what he just tasted. "I will just pass, it looks superb though."Jovy laughed heartily. "You liar."He joined her in laughing hard. "I can't believe you still haven't learnt how to make cream cheese after a whole week of learning.”Jovy shrugged nonchalantly. “You can't blame me. I have been trying my best, but it seems not to want me." She pouted. "At least my bread is out of this world.""What is the essence of bread without the cream cheese?""Errr, toast it instead..." Jovy suggested with her eyes dancing playfully.Arlo was abou
Chapter 93 Nothing but a trash MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSLogan and his partner jerked away from each other at the sudden interruption, he was not expecting anyone to come into his room without his permission. Looking back to see who the fearless person was, he wasn't too surprised when it turned out to be Jovy.Her glare lingered on the lady he had brought over and despite Jovy's pale and small look she was still able to scare the lady who definitely was in her late twenties to scamper out of the room. Logan didn't bother to call her back. He couldn't bother himself all the same but his anger was being directed differently with the adamant look on Jovy's face like she would love to lash out at him. A smirk appeared on his lips as he hoped for her own sake she wouldn't dare to."Why are you so shameless?" Jovy blurted. Every part of her body was shaking due to what she just saw but she has no plans to back away so easily. "Is it that bad to keep your acts together even when peopl
Chapter 94 The reminder MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSThe trail of the vodka down his throat made his insides shiver as it hit the expected spot. Early morning drinking was so underrated if only everyone knew just how nice it makes one feel. Logan slumped into the chair. He has been away from home for three nights and only return to get his work clothes which means he hasn't set his eyes on Jovy since that day when she had placed herself as important.The thought of everything that ensued that day made him sneer. The audacity she possessed had him boiling. She really was lucky that he doesn't beat women if not he would have drilled in some sense into that empty head of hers. The conversation made him more disinterested in wanting to have anything to do with her. Her stay in the house which might eventually get to him would have to be taken care of before she becomes more of a pain in the neck.Logan just couldn't think of him ever falling in love and not just with anyone but someon
Chapter 95 Underlying diseases MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSArlo stared at Jovy, she looked so pale like she would fade out, her skin cracked and it scared him. He hadn't seen her for close to two weeks but had tried hard to maintain contact with her and Jovy never told him anything about being sick."What has been going on with you, Jovy? You look weak. Are you okay?" He asked.Jovy heaved a sigh as she rested her head on her outstretched arm. For two weeks she has been plagued with early morning fatigue, feeling nauseous at the smell of food and her sleep pattern has changed so much."I don't know Arlo. I have been feeling really different from my usual self for two weeks now." She replied."Did you check at the infirmary to get tested?" Arlo inquired with a worried look on his face.Jovy turned her head towards him. "I have been trying to talk to Logan about it but he rarely comes home and when he does he never talks to me. It's evident Logan wants nothing to do with me. Also, I
Chapter 96 The Delusion MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSThe entire journey back home was quiet, Jovy didn't know what to feel exactly and Arlo was shocked beyond words. He didn't know if he should be happy for Jovy or to cry for her cause pregnancy news for married couples are meant to be good news but hers is quite on the opposite.Jovy didn't wait for Arlo to come open the car door for her after he packed the car in front of the Fortress house before she got down and hurried towards the entrance."Jovy!" Arlo called out to her.Jovy stopped on track without turning to look at him. "I promise Arlo, I am fine. I just want to be alone."Arlo let out a sigh before nodding his head in agreement. He clearly understands how and what she was possibly feeling and thinking. “Sure. But please let me know if you need me." He said. Arlo got back into the car and drove out.When Jovy returned to the safety of her room, she looked through the test result in her hands again. Her hands instinctively r
Chapter 97 A beast and a saint MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian woke up feeling exhausted after receiving Jovy's call. He had been unable to sleep which prompted him to go for a run in the woods. Despite falling asleep the moment he got back to bed, he still felt like he had been beaten to pulp the night before."Someone looks like he needs to go back to bed." Arlo teased when Kyrian sat by the dining table looking disoriented. He downed the cup of coffee that had been placed in front of him.Kyrian sipped on the second cup before he decided to respond to his silly nephew. "I thought I trained you better. Is that how to greet your ever present uncle a good morning?"Arlo rolled his eyes, pushed back the chair and stood up. He raised both of his hands and he bowed alongside his entire upper body. "All hail your Majesty." He croaked.Kyrian knocked him on the head as he also tried to keep himself from laughing. "Why are you such a silly goose?”Arlo ended up laughing hard at his o
Chapter 98 His terms and conditions MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSJovy inhaled and exhaled as she tried to get up the stairs after stuffing herself with a full plate of food. The hunger got the best of her and it even prevented her from taking it to the room along with her. Ever since she got to know about her pregnant state, Jovy has been excessively hungry and has been eating every thing she lays her hands on.Opening the door to her room, she got there just in time to find her phone ringing out loud. She hurried her way towards it and a bright smile appeared on her face when the caller turned out to be Alice. She picked up the call only for her to breathed heavily into the receiver.‘Alice! What happened? I have been so worried about you?’ She cooed.Alice sighed into the receiver. ‘I'm so sorry, Jovy. I don't know if you would ever forgive me. I had no intention to stay away for so long. We have had the most craziest four weeks of our lives ever.’Jovy sat on the edge of the b
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
