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 88 The call MIDNIGHT PACKLinda paced the room with her heart beating above its usual rate. Nothing seem right and her wolf feels really unsettled. It was past eight and Tommy wasn't back as promised. The both of them had arranged for everything and the agreement was for him to sort out whatever else is needed and they all leave the pack together with the children."Mummy, where is daddy?" Tyrone the youngest of the boys asked.Linda lifted him up and kissed his forehead. "Daddy should be here soon baby. Just go play with your toys." Trying to steady her breath, she tried his line again and it still isn't reachable. "I told you this was a bad idea Tommy. I warned you." She moaned in despair.He had lodged them in a hotel just five minutes away from the airport to avoid being caught up in the house. What worries her is her inability to reach him. "Where in the world are you, Tommy?" Linda groaned.A slight knock was heard from the door and she moved swiftly to the k
Chapter 89 Consummation MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSLogan watched as Jovy shyly sat on the bed feeling pretty. Since the Fortress council members had insisted on him getting married to his Luna almost immediately, especially because the full moon chooses to be out the same week, he had asked Kyrian to make arrangements for the third day after Jovy's arrival.The wedding ceremony had been brief like he had requested and the last part of it all that he really despises since it was almost like he was being forced against his will all because of custom was to consummate the marriage. As regards to custom, the Moon Goddess blesses the Alpha and Luna who consummate their marriage under the full moon and it makes their reins a blissful one for the pack.It bothered him much because he was becoming more irritated by Jovy's presence. Even if he would have a Luna, she should be at least able to stand for herself but then her weakness is the only reason behind her presence in his Fortre
Chapter 90 Come to me MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSJovy sighed with her heart heavy as she tried to engage her mind. Her phone was irrelevant since she had gone through every page that could entertain her. She even tried reading but it wasn't working. What made her so unstable was her inability to reach Alice and she had no other idea on how to reach her cause Anna’s line isn't reachable either.It has been a week since she became Logan's official Luna. The ceremony was so short that she almost didn't remember how it went. It was almost like Logan couldn't wait to get it all done with. Even though the night had been amazing and he had shun her off the next day, she had decided to put it all behind her. All through the week, he hasn't spoken to her or touched her and as crazy as it might sound, Jovy craved for his touch.She knew something was definitely wrong with her for wanting a person who clearly hates her. Jovy's heart sank at the thought of her spending the rest of her li
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
