Chapter 109 The Slip Off MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian watched as Logan fussed over the documents on his table, mumbling incoherent words to himself. The moment Logan had arrived looking like a sour ball, Kyrian knew the day would only have to be saved by a miracle to not end up being disastrous."What exactly are you searching for?" He asked.Logan hissed out loud as he facepalmed himself. "I forgot the document for the contract deal we are to have with the Arabian company at home."Kyrian stared at his wristwatch instinctively. They have less than an hour to get the meeting started and one thing about these new partners of theirs; they don't take lateness or clumsiness lightly. Logan kept muttering profanities that weren't so colorful to the ears. Kyrian was surprised at how clumsy he had become all of a sudden."What do you intend to do now?" Kyrian asked."I can't have any of us go back home, knowing when they come around they would like to see the both of us on seat. So
Chapter 110 Point of realization MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS THREE WEEKS LATERJovy sat up on the hospital bed waiting for Arlo to finish up with the paperwork to take her home. She has been trying really hard to hold back the tears threatening to fall, most especially she wouldn’t want Arlo to meet her in such state but they keep coming. Her tears isn't that of sadness but of anger and frustration and the thoughts swirling in her head made her feel dizzy. It had taken her a second shot at death to realize that it was time to get a life and move on from her misery.For three weeks, Logan didn't bother to call or visit her at the hospital despite him being the reason she ended up at the verge of death. His excuse as Jovy had heard from Arlo was that she wasted his time by not sending the file in quickly. So he acting unconcerned about her predicament was his way of punishing her.Before now, whenever Alice, Amelia and Arlo bring up the topic of her leaving Logan, Jovy h
Chapter 111 The Dictator GOLD PACKHanging up the phone in excitement, Amelia almost jumped out of her skin when she turned around to find her mother staring at her keenly. Ava stood in her intimidating frame with her arms folded against her chest."You scared the living daylights out of me mom, what is all of this about?" Amelia hollered at her."Who were you talking to on the phone?"Amelia couldn't resist the urge to scoff at her mother's face. Ever since she had allowed her back into her life, Ava has been trying to act her bossy self which doesn’t sit well with Amelia. After Amelia had heard from Jovy as told by Alice that Ava had become a laughing stock at the Midnight pack, she couldn't just leave her by herself. After doing all she could to find her, Ava finally joined her at the Gold pack. Despite everything that had happened to her, Ava still wasn't over her usual attitude which only puts Amelia on the edge. She wasn't interested in letting her mother control her life l
Chapter 112 A New Life GOLD PACKJovy inhaled the nice air that Gold pack emitted, she could almost envision herself doing great things in the pack and her life taking a new turn. For the first time in her eighteen to almost nineteen years of living, she made a decision on her own. A life changing one at that.Days back when she had revealed her intentions to Arlo to prevent her from changing her mind, Arlo had insisted Jovy leaves the house the same day she got discharged from the hospital. Lodging her in a hotel and inviting Alice over and the two nights she spent there were the best moments of her life. Alice couldn't help being herself and she made it all fun for them.After deliberating with Arlo and Alice, they also thought it would be better for Jovy to be away in an unfamiliar place. That way it might be hard for Logan to find her, that is if he ever bothers to look for her. Luckily, Amelia is just the right person to call.Alice had insisted that Arlo make the call
Chapter 113 The Journey GOLD PACK FEW MONTHS LATERNadia sighed tiredly as she looked out the window of the restaurant. She glanced at her wristwatch again, it's unlike Anastasia to be late. It has been ten minutes since Nadia arrived to their usual meeting spot and she still hadn't called to cancel or arrived yet. She was famished and would have ordered but didn't want to yet until her daughter arrives. The kind waitress that had been assigned to attend to her table came again. Nadia couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looks."Jovy." Nadia muttered at the tag on the waitress chest. "You have a nice name." She noted.Jovy smiled. “Thank you ma'am. Would you like to order now?"Nadia shook her head. “Not yet, I would like to wait for my daughter to arrive.""Alright then, call me when you need me." Jovy said before turning away.Nadia caught sight of a dark mark peeping underneath the shirtsleeve Jovy wore but it was so evident. Her thoughts got divided when
Chapter 114 Chef Jovy GOLD PACKJovy hummed delightfully as she prepared herself for work. Never would she have imagined freedom to feel this good. All the time she had worried over what will become of her when all that was needed was a leap. It has been a good ride ever since she started working at the restaurant alongside Amelia. Aside Ava whose hatred seem like it wouldn't simmer down anytime soon, everything else was fine. Also, Arlo and Alice are coming to spend the weekend with her. Jovy felt like her insides would burst with joy.Picking up her bag she headed out of her apartment to flag down a taxi to get her down to work. She got to work just in time for the restaurant to open to customers. Being a kitchen assistant and waitress does have its downsides as regards stress but she didn't mind. Every process was fun, the more she learnt the basics of the restaurant the more she gets better in the art. She was more excited because today was her last day at work before h
Chapter 115 The Birthmark GOLD PACKNadia looked deflated as she sat down in the restaurant looking around. It was just a minute past noon and she already wanted to retire back to bed. The pressure was becoming a bit too much for her to bear. The pack house doesn't exactly seem peaceful like it should. The time she gave the pack council and Xavier had lapsed.They are beginning to doubt her words since she has nothing to show for the delay. However, Nadia wasn't about to drop her last option yet. Even though she had been coming around to the restaurant for two days without setting her eyes on Jovy. The other days had been used to observe her and be sure she wasn't about to make a mistake. Despite the long rides and having the choice to stay at Anastasia's instead, she wasn’t ready to give up yet.Nadia decided it was best to satisfy her curiosity first before telling anyone about her thoughts. Scanning the restaurant with her eyes, Jovy still wasn't in sight. Today, nothing
Chapter 116 The Alpha Baton GOLD PACKJovy stood up groggily, wondering who it could be at her door so early in the morning. She had hardly gotten any sleep and had even cried herself to sleep. Jovy almost fell back in shock when she opened the door. She was surprised to see Arlo and Alice by the door. She blinked rapidly when Alice moved past her and walked into the apartment while Arlo in his usual respectful state locked the door behind him."What are you both doing here so early?" Jovy asked, running to check the time on her phone. "It’s barely morning.""Well we took the night train and arrived at the first cock crow." Arlo beamed. "Did I get that right?" He asked.Alice stuttered. “Who cares about your vocabulary? Come here baby." She patted her free side of the couch gesturing for Jovy to sit next to her.Like a zombie, Jovy moved like someone on remote control. "Why are you both here? Did Amelia call you? Arlo?" She called out to him."A minute please." He responded, tur
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
