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 82 Escape route MIDNIGHT PACK: CLARK’S HOMEAlice chewed on her nails really hard almost drawing blood from it. She had been awake since the middle of the night. She had gone into the woods, shifted and ran several miles. It still didn't stop the anxiousness she felt. She felt the urge to scream out into the heavens and wake up from what she considers a dream. As the dawn drew near, Alice wished she could do something to stop it.The thought of Jovy being taken away from her to an unknown place where her life might probably end, made Alice wish the world would come to an end to save her beloved friend from the impending ruin of her life.Anna stood by the stairs watching her daughter move around with her head bowed in despair. She hadn't been able to sleep either. Alice’s wolf had stayed awake all through the night wailing silently. She could sense it as Alice had been loose with her emotions not bothering to guard herself. Anna wished she could help ease the pain h
Chapter 83 It’s time MIDNIGHT PACK: FINLAY’S HOMEJovy opened the house door with her spare key and moved with extreme caution as she walked into the house. She had first thought of announcing her return but then she decided to head to her room instead.Amelia stared from the kitchen doorway as Jovy came into the house. The sound of the door opening had made her peep to check who was at the door. Amelia watched her heading stealthily towards the stairs. She had come in a bit to early than expected. Diving back into the kitchen, Amelia dropped the bottle of water she had come to fetch from the fridge on the kitchen island.Amelia paused for a moment as she stepped out of the kitchen. All the years that Amelia had spent living with Jovy she had despised the girl for no actual reason. However, she felt different seeing her now knowing Jovy was going through so much for a girl of her age.Amelia had been disgusted by her mother's reaction when she had entered into her room last nig
Chapter 84 Her New Home MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSTommy sat in the car trying hard to control his breath but it just didn't feel the same. He had thought it would be the usual sort of feeling for him like the times he beats Jovy up. However, he feels heavy in his chest knowing that he just sent her on like a suicide mission. At the same time, Tommy is still attempting to assure himself that he was doing Jovy a whole good by not having her killed.‘What difference does this make?’ His wolf whispered.Tommy shut his eyes tightly and he tried to focus on something else. Tommy's heart went on a speedy race the moment his eyes caught sight of Jovy walking out with her luggage. He saw Amelia behind her wiping off a tear. He definitely wasn't the only one feeling bad.Jovy opened the back seat to drop her bag. "Where should I sit please?" She asked, not wanting to assume and end up getting a backlash.Tommy sniffed as he stared out of the window cause his eyes was acting funny. "Y
Chapter 85 World crumbling MIDNIGHT PACK: FINLAY’S HOMETommy slumped into the couch in the living room staring into space. His head ached badly from the ride back. After dropping Jovy off, he had practically driven round the Mystic Shadows Fortress and back to his home just to play away time. However, he was back at square one with his thoughts the moment he stepped into the house. Excusing himself from going to work would bother Linda but he doesn't care too much at this point.His conscience ate at him so deeply and he could almost feel them like an army of worms denting his heart wall. What was he thinking to have listened to Ava and those awful step brothers of Elena? He could have acted better and sent her far away to somewhere she would never have to worry about getting caught. As much as he wasn't anywhere related to Jovy, she had been his supposed actual daughter for four years before he got to know and he had loved her with all of his heart. Finding out that she was
Chapter 86 His Luna MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSPatting the car steering as he got stuck in traffic, Logan tried to think of many ways he could start up a conversation with Arlo without sounding defensive. One thing renowned about Logan's character is how much he doesn't give a damn about explaining himself to anybody. But Arlo just has his whole remote in his hands. And if he had been a girl most people would have doubted the expression to just be ordinarily natural. They would think he was in love with Arlo.It's not like he felt actual guilt to having Jovy instead of Arlo but Logan just couldn't help the thought of being on Arlo’s bad side. The boy makes him feel a bit of liberation as to the life he is living. The actual truth is, Logan loves Arlo beyond words and would do anything to protect him.Getting to the airport car park, Logan got out of the car and his heart rang a bell when he sighted Arlo by the waiting line with his bag. It appeared that he was just about to
Chapter 87 He wants to love MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSArlo sat rigidly all through the rest of the ride like he couldn't believe what Logan had just told him. His mind reeled over the possibilities of Jovy putting herself in such horrible fix. It still doesn't seem right that she would want such a life for herself no matter how in love she must have claimed to be. He has a bad feeling about the outcome of it all.Giving Logan a side glance, it sort of scared Arlo that he sat down with so much confidence and unbothered about whatever might be happening. It was all cool that Logan was the rigid and cool kind of uncle he has and had always preferred him over Kyrian. But, as time went by and they had an encounter as regards Jovy, it had him really worried about his choice of a role model.Arlo didn’t want to believe probably Logan was only trying to pull his legs. "What you said earlier…” He paused to think of the proper words to say. "Is it true? Or you are just trying to joke with
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
