"What…what do you mean by that Valerie?" I stuttered. "I don't think I have to fight with you. I don't want to fight with you, I'm good.""Are you scared?" Valerie teased. "I don't care if you want to spar with me or not. Come into the clearing and let's get started." She said sternly, "I don't see a reason why I should. I'm not even dressed for a fight. How am I supposed to fight you in a gown? It won't be a fair fight because you're fully dressed for this and I'm not." "You're talking too much, rouge." Valerie said with a fake yawn. "I didn't ask for any stories from you. Why are you explaining so much? Do you really think I care? Get in here!"I clenched my fist as I looked at her. We both knew the sparring wasn't going to be like a normal one. She had another agenda and I could see it in her eyes. She was going to beat me up. "We don't have all day, rouge. I have to get ready for my party later tonight. If you're going to be my servant, I need to know how you can protect me. I
Logan’s povI groaned out as I ran my hands through my hair. These past few days have been frustrating for me. I found my mate but I rejected her. I just had to.It was a different thing if she was just a weakling but she wasn't just that. She is a rouge and I can't deal with that but why haven't i been myself these past few days. I should have just let her or go or just kill her on the spot. "You will do no such thing. My wolf snarled at me. I could feel her wolf when we found her but because you rejected her, I can't anymore." "She has a wolf?" I asked, surprised. "Yes, she does. You dumb ass. How could you reject mate?" He growled. I ignored and shut my wolf out before he started to lecture me on how I wasn't supposed to reject my mate. He of all people knows why I hated rogues but all of a sudden he wants me to accept Lily. Nothing was going to change my mind. I'd have Valerie as my mate, not one pathetic weak rougue. The only problem I was fighting was the mate bond. It's
Logan’s POV "Leo, I need you to find Lily." I spoke to my wolf, but he didn't respond. "I know you're in there and this isn't the time to give me an attitude. We need to find Lily. I think she's badly hurt." "So, now you care?" He growled at me. "Leo, I want you to try and reach her wolf, right now!" "I can't Logan. She's in there but I can't reach her." Leo whined. "Nothing must happen to mate." "Oh, fuck!" I muttered to myself as I ran out of Valerie’s room to the training ground. I got there and took in a deep breath, trying to locate her scent but it was pretty difficult to. It was the training ground, a lot of scents were mixed together with the smell of sweat. I looked around, trying to see if I'd find her, but I couldn't. I yelled out in frustration, I could still feel the pain in my hand. "Leo, I need you to take over and try to locate Lily, I can't smell her." "Alright, Logan." Leo replied, taking control. "If anything happens to mate, I won't forgive you." "Just fi
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Lily had so many bruises covering her body. Her ribs were evident and I saw that two were broken. She looked so small and frail. I kept staring at her until a nurse walked up to me and told me I had to leave, which made Leo furious because he hated being told what to do and also, he didn't want to leave his mate. Before I knew it, I started to shake vigorously, almost on the verge of shifting. I tried so hard to fight it, but Leo wanted to be in control. "Logan, Logan! You need to calm down" Kane said, putting his arms around my body and holding me tight. The doctor just needs to work on her, if he doesn't, she won't get better, so get a grip of yourself." "I am staying! I'm going nowhere." I growled out but Kane was already dragging me out of the room. When she was out of my view, I stopped growling and faced Kane angrily. "Don't you ever try what you did inside there with me again." I sneered. I'm your Alpha and you don't get to touch me
Lily’s POV Pain, that was all I could feel. My entire body was on fire, especially one of my hands. I wasn't expecting to wake up, because I thought my body had given up on me. I felt myself struggling to stay awake, and when I did an old man was in my face, calling me a fighter. I didn't understand what he meant until I looked at my body. I soon figured out that he was the Doctor treating me. He also explained to me where I was before he left, making me calm down because I had started to panic. I groaned as I tried to adjust myself on the bed. Memories of what happened hit me hard. Valerie tried to kill me. She wanted me gone at all costs. I heard the door open and Logan walked in but I just glared at him and looked away. He didn't say anything to me, instead he grabbed a cup and poured me some water. "Here, you need to drink water. Your throat must be dry." He said, holding the cup in my face. I acted like I didn't hear him and stared at the wall, making him growl lowly. "Dr
My head was spinning and I started to hyperventilate. The machines around me also started to beep crazily. I felt the nurse hold my face, telling me to calm down but it was like I couldn't control my body. I was having a panic attack. The nurse gently laid me on the bed before rushing out to call the doctor. He ran inside the room and the nurse started to explain to him what had happened. He held me firmly to the bed and started to speak to me. "Lily, you need to calm down. You're fine, your hand is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. You just feel that way because of your injuries and it's going to get better with time." He yelled and I started to feel my body cooperate with my mind. The Doctor continued to repeat himself and the beepings around me started to sound normal. I started to feel calm and I could hear the doctor's words perfectly. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with me? Am I going to be fine? I'm not paralyzed?" I cried out. "No, Lily. You're not paralyzed an
Lily’s POVI stared at my feet and wriggled my toes. I've not tried to walk since I had been in the park hospital and I was starting to get tired of being in one position. I felt choked up in the room, doing the same thing everyday and I wanted to just go for a walk. The truth was that, I was scared. I didn't know if my legs would cooperate with me, or I still have to wait for some days before I'm able to use them. "Enough of the hesitation, Lily." I muttered to myself and pushed myself to stand on my feet. My knees buckled and I tried to keep them straight but I was shaking, I took a step forward, forcing myself to walk when my legs failed. I was about to hit the floor when strong arms wrapped around my torso, holding me. I felt my back pressed firmly to a toned chest. I licked my lips as electricity zapped through me, making me shiver. Logan was here. I heard him take a sharp breath and we stood in that position for a minute before he pushed me roughly back on the bed. "What th
Hearing his voice so close to my ears sent shivers down my spine. I enjoyed the feeling and didn't want it to stop. I should be scared but I wasn't. I tightened my fist, trying not to moan out. All of a sudden, he grabbed my neck. "I asked you a question." He sneered.I gulped, still trying to get over the sparks that were running through my body. "I'm.. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight…I didn't mean to." Logan chuckled. "I can smell your arousal, rouge."My cheeks reddened." Tell me it doesn't affect you." I said softly, looking into his eyes. His eyes were still dilated and I could tell he was being affected."It does nothing to me and if you're not careful, you'll have males running after you just to get a taste and I promise you, I won't stop them." He replied with a straight face, stepping away from me like I have a disease. "Trying to attack the Alpha of the park is a very big offense and you can get killed for doing that but since you didn't know about this rule, I'll l
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
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 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. 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
