Lily's Pov. The room was very hot and I laid in my own sweat and tears. I was sticky all over and I wished I hadn't locked my windows earlier. I perked my ears up whenever I heard a sound, hoping it was Logan coming to free me but it was never him. I have waited for so long and I was starting to get tired. I couldn't just sit and wait, I had to do something. I brought my wrist closer to my mouth, and pulled on the knots of the rope with my teeth, trying to loosen it. It was very uncomfortable and my neck was hurting badly but I still continued to try. I tried to reach my wolf again, so we could combine our strengths and work on escaping together but she didn't respond. I needed my fangs badly and there was no way I could shift without connecting to her. I didn't give up because of that but continued to gnaw on the rope. I didn't know how I was going to escape from the room but I just wanted to be free from the ropes on my wrists. I chomped on the rope harder, ignoring the pain t
Lily’s POV "You've been staring at me for a while. Are you going to give me an answer or not?" He said, bringing out a small key and dangling it in my face. "I can unlock these chains and set you free if you want." "How did you get that key? Did Logan send you here to do this on his behalf? Or why exactly are you doing this? Why are you trying to help me?" I asked, curious and confused. "Why are you asking so many questions!?" He sneered as he bent to my level ahd I could tell he was glaring at me behind the mask. "Just answer the damn question with 1 yes or no." "I'll answer after you answer my own questions. You don't just expect me to accept your offer just like that. If I had agreed to say yes, I'm very sure there's a condition attached to it. I want to know why you're helping me and what you want in return.""Oh, nice. You're actually smart. Minutes ago, I thought otherwise. I'm just trying to do you a favour here. With the way the Alpha treats you, I'm sure you're tired of h
Lily’s POVAfter running for about an hour, I stopped to catch my breath under a tree. I sat down and ignored the splinters of dry woods cutting into my skin. I rubbed my wrists together, smiling as the raw bruises had started to heal well. In about two days, there would be no sign that I had an injury there. These are the perks that come with having your wolf. Everything becomes different. Your senses become heightened, you heal faster and become stronger. You just become complete and I was really glad to have my wolf back. My stomach growled in hunger and I realised that I hadn't eaten. "I should have eaten before I left." I muttered to myself standing up and looking for trees with fruits. Few hours later, I hadn't found anything to eat. The fruits I was seeing looked really sus. Either they had a weird shape or colour and I was being careful not to eat something that would take my life. There was no one out there to help me if I got poisoned. It is better to starve than eat some
"Run as fast as you can because if we catch you, you're coming with us." I heard one of the rogues sneer as he chased after me. I ran as fast as my legs could but it felt like it wasn't enough. “They can't catch up with me. I can't escape my former life just to end up in the hands of rouges. I've been hiding pretty well for a year, hiding my scent. How did they find me?” I thought to myself. "We can do whatever we want with her." Another one laughed out loud. "It feels so good to see a rogue that's a girl. I can smell she's not from any park. What a good find!" "We're all rogues, we don't have to run from each other. You're just a lone wolf wandering around. Join us and you'll be safe." Another one chimed in. I tried to block out their conversation as I ran faster. I tried so hard to change into my wolf, but it wasn't working. "Please, please. I need you!" I spoke to her mentally, but nothing happened. I felt sharp thorns cutting my face and legs, causing me pain. I co
I've not run for a minute when a hand grabbed me by my neck from behind, making my head snap back. I screamed in pain, my head fuzzy.That was when I felt it, the sparks. I could feel electricity on the part of my neck he was holding. It felt amazing and made my toes curl. I hit his hand and I jolted from the sparks. The scent I smelt earlier surrounded me strongly and I could feel my wolf going crazy inside me, trying to come out. My hands pricked as I tried to stop him from choking me. I struggled to open my eyes and the moment I saw his face, I let out a gasp. He had curly long hair that was styled in a stylish way. His face looked like it was carved by angels and his cold gray eyes stared at me with no emotion. He was very handsome. My wolf was trying to communicate with me, but since it had been so long since she spoke with me, I couldn't hear her well. After so many trials of trying to connect with me. I heard it, it was very faint, but I heard it. "Mate." My wolf whispered.
I could feel my heart break into pieces as I heard the words come out if his mouth. My mate just rejected me. I looked into his blank eyes as he let go of me and I just crumbled on the floor, My wolf howling in pain. “What…What did you just do?” I cried out, placing my hands on my chest, breathing heavily. He smirked as he looked at me. “I told you, I'd rather let you wish for death than kill you. You will die from the pain of having no mate and it will be slow and agonizing.” “How could you be so evil? The moon goddess didn't make us mates for no reason. You should have just killed me!” I screamed out. “Sulking and shouting won't fix anything. Now stand up, we need to leave.” He replied, looking bored and uninterested in whatever I was saying. “What do you mean by we should leave? Haven't you done enough? I'm not going anywhere with you.” I said, hugging my legs to my chest, sniffing. “You really think I reject you and just let you go?” He laughed coldly. “You might not be o
“How dare you speak back to me! You filthy rouge. Don't you know what you are in this park? You're nothing and you're about to live your worst life ever here. You're going to die and I'll make sure it's by my hands.” I smirked, spitting out the blood that was forming in my mouth and glared at her, not backing down. She got more furious and growled at me, claws coming out of her fingers, ready to attack me when Logan grabbed her by her waist, nuzzling his nose in her neck. “Calm down Valerie, you don't need to get angry because of a bitch like her.” “You need to punish her, Logan. Did you see the way she looked at me? I'm sure she plans to do something evil to me later. I don't like her and I want you to kill her immediately, right now!” Valerie whined. I rolled my eyes as I watched them, disgust evident on my face. Logan looked up at me, angrily his eyes changing colors. He growled and stalked towards me. “How dare you disrespect my mate and Luna of my park? He yelled, making
“What do you mean by that? What mistake did I make by coming here? How do you even know my name?” I asked, curious, confused and disturbed. “How did you get in here? Show your face, you coward.” I said, trying to act stronger that I look.I stared at the man squatting in front of me, trying to figure him out but I couldn’t. His voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t place where I heard it from. “You’re in no position to ask me questions, rogue. You came here at the wrong time and if you think you can ruin my years of hard work, you’re wrong. I’ll kill you before then.” This park is no place for you to be and if you think you can have the alpha as your mate, you are very wrong. Rogues are to be killed and soon, you will be!” He said, his hands tightening around the cage bars with rage. “Can you just explain yourself better? I have no idea what you’re talking about and how did you know we’re mates? Who exactly are you and—?” I didn’t complete my statement before he was away in a

Lily’s POV. My wolf whined inside me as different images ran through my mind. "Why is Logan holding chains? What does he plan to do with it?" I asked myself like I didn't know already. I staggered back, hiding myself behind the curtains hoping it would hide me from him. Logan stalked closer to me like I was a prey, his eyes full of anger, disgust and hatred. "Stay away from…me! Stand back!" I stammered weakly but my wolf had other plans. She tried to take control, fangs popping through my gums. She was angry with Logan for protecting another female and also won't allow him to tie her down because of her. Logan dropped the chains he was holding and pulled on my hair, yanking it hard and making me feel a sharp pain in my head. It became worse because I hadn't healed from the first injury. "Listen close to me, rogue wolf, I'm not here to play like that. If you dare try to flash your fangs at me again, I'll tear you so fast into pieces." I forced my wolf back inside of me and my
Lily’s POV We got back to the castle without any of us talking to each other. I was trying to get my mind off the fact that he had sex with Valerie without feeling remorseful while all I felt was pain. How long do I have to deal with this? He doesn't want me but he's keeping me around and messing with my emotions. I hated that mate bond is making things pretty difficult for me because I couldn't get him out of my head. I sniffed, wiping my tears. There's no way I would waste my tears on someone that wasn't worth it. We got to the front of his room only to see Valerie standing there. As soon as she saw me, she smirked at me before running to Logan. She pressed a kiss on his lips, smiling. "Where did you go? I woke up to see that you have left. How could you leave like that after the hot night we spent together. I wasn't even done with you and there's more to come. I'm also sure you want more of me." She purred, rubbing her hands over his chest. My wolf was scratching against me, s
Lily’s POV "What is wrong with you!? Why can't you just listen to me that she has nothing to do with this. I forced her here, so take me instead." "The man who was holding Hannah stood in front of me. How dare you question the Alpha." He snarled and Logan shoved him off, telling him to leave immediately. He glared at me once again before he dragged Hannah with him.I wasn't just going to let him take Hannah with him so I followed them, only for Logan to hold me back. "Let go of me right now! Leave me alone." I screamed, thrashing around but he just flipped me and pinned me to the ground. My face was in the dirt and he held my hands tightly behind me. I cried out, watching the man drag Hannah away with him till they were out of sight. After Logan was sure they were gone, he pulled me back up. "What is wrong with you? Why are you acting up?" "Why did you hold me back?" I sniffed, cleaning my tears. Where did he take Hannah to? Are you going to lock her up and beat her just like you
Lily’s POVI and Hannah both went still as the footsteps got closer. "Didn't you say the soldiers don't reach here when they're on patrol?" I asked, trying to stand up but only for me to realize that I've sprained my ankle. "They don't. They really don't." Hannah replied, rushing to my side to help me up. "You're hurt, you need to sit down and let your leg heal." "I can't! Someone's out there and we don't know who, what if it's a dangerous animal?"Hannah rolled her eyes. "Really? Have you forgotten that we're actual wolves? The 'wild animal’ stands no chance against us. I'll bring it down with a swipe of my claw." "This isn't the right time to joke hannah. We can't be caught or we'll be in trouble." I said, rubbing my forehead. "Why would we be in trouble? It's not like this place is actually out of bounds like the forest next to the training ground. The Alpha would have informed us if he didn't want us to run here." "Hold on. The forest next to the training ground is out of b
Lily’s POVThe night went by pretty fast and that was thanks to Logan's sister who I later found out that her name was Mia. She is the complete opposite of Logan and I felt better after we talked. I wished she could just start living with us in the castle but she told me she couldn't because she had her own park and mate but she promised to visit and check up on me often and I was glad. We couldn't continue our conversation about Logan because Hannah came into the kitchen to start prepping some meals for the day so we had to put a hold to it. I didn't bother going back to my room because I knew that there was no way I was going to sleep after seeing Logan and Valerie have sex so I just joined Hannah in prepping the meals as soon as Mia left. When we finished, Hannah served us some food and asked me to follow her. She led me towards the back door of the kitchen and when she opened it, I saw a number of servants sitting on patches of grass, talking to each other and laughing. They s
Lily’s POVI dragged my feet back to the castle naked, not caring if anyone sees me. I was exhausted from shifting and my body was sore. I forced the thought of how Logan pushed me away like I had acid on my body out of my head. I didn't want to think about it. I got to the front of his room, took in a deep breath and opened it. His scent wasn't strong which meant that he wasn't in the room. I was relieved and disappointed. I shouldn't be, but I was. I quickly had a shower and crawled into my bed but I couldn't sleep. I kept turning and tossing. I was restless. I could tell Logan wasn't back because I left the door of my room opened so I could hear when he walked in."Argh! Why can't I sleep?" I pulled on my hair before pushing the covers off my body and groaned out in frustration before leaving the room to go on a walk, to see if I'd be able to clear my head.I didn't know where I was going because I wasn't totally familiar with the insides. The plan initially was to go to the kit
