The person was none other than Logan.A wave of relief washed over me as I watched him coming toward my cell. But I was a little shocked to see him here, especially after the poison Lizzie had injected into him. Also when she told me that Logan was as good as dead, I thought she was able to subdue him.But that might not be the case, because Logan was standing in front of me, looking at my busted head he came toward me, his desperation and determination evident in his eyes. He attempted to break the chains restraining me, but the metal held firm. Frustration marred his face.“Y..Yo..You can’t do this with your bare hands. The poison that Lizzie gave you was potent and had made your wolf a little weak. We have to do this the old-fashioned way. Go find some tools.” I said, my voice still raw, but I managed to form some sentences.He looked at me, hesitating to leave me alone but then nodded, thinking that this was the only viable option for us, if we wanted to get out of this miserable

Grace’s POVI was looking at Xander in complete shock, Lana howled inside me and I could see flashes of Lucas’s desperation in Xander’s eyes. If Xander had not been holding me, I would have fallen down on the floor.In that electrifying moment, Xander shook off all restraints, his hands cupping my face with a fierce tenderness. His voice boomed through the room as he powerfully roared, "Mate!" to me, the word resonating with a force that left me breathless.I gazed into his eyes, my heart swelling with a love I never thought possible. A tear of joy and relief slipped from my eye, and I smiled at him, my voice quivering as I whispered, "Xander."With a soul piercing howl, I leaped into his arms hugging him tightly, I wanted to mold his body into mine if it was possible. I wanted him to be with me, and the word “mate” from his mouth for me, was my undoing.I couldn’t believe that just a few moments ago I was reeling from his betrayal, was ready to go to any length to make him miserable

When we reached home we were welcomed very enthusiastically by Mason. Our home was full of maids and packmates, who came bearing gifts and wishes.The environment was overwhelming and I felt loved.“This is a little weird,” I told Xander through the mind link.“How so?” he asked.“Sometimes pack members look at me like they can’t believe that I am your mate and sometimes they look at me like they are blessed to have me by your side. It gives me whiplash.”This earned me a hearty laugh and I narrowed my eyes at him.“Most of my pack members just love you and some like the Elders have this notion that old traditions should be maintained and that includes my pack’s rivalry with yours. They don’t understand that I was yours the day you looked at me, in that forest,” he replied.“You tried to kill me,” I snorted at him.“No, I held you under my body, like I want you now. You felt my length and I felt your plump body, you had me under your palm.” he purred.My face reddened and I started ta

Xander had me pinned by the wall and was ready to devour me, but then I caught a sign of a little spark behind us, and my eyes widened.“Oh, hell, no.” I cursed under my breath.“What happened?” Xander asked and turned to look behind him.There Daisy was standing with blazing eyes and she had turned the whole tree into a pile of ashes.I rushed toward her, “What happened?” I asked her, I could feel the rage pouring from her, but when she looked at me, I was shocked.She grinned at me like nothing happened.“I powered up.” She chuckled and left the three of us with shocked expressions, but Mason was a little scared too.I wanted to ask Mason what happened but thought it was better to leave things as it is, no good would come out if we escalated things.The four of us, Me, Xander, Daisy, and Mason headed back to the courthouse. The trials were supposed to happen this afternoon, but what I found funny was Daniel was the one who would be accusing Lizzie of her crimes as if he wasn’t part

But instead of answers, Daniel was greeted with another mocking laughter.“What do you think you are doing over here, Daniel? You are doing nothing but digging your own grave. Instead of asking me the questions, why don’t you ask them to yourself, and let’s be honest, we both know what the consequences would be if you did that.” her vicious words dripped with venom.Daniel growled his anger evident in his voice, but it was his wolf whose rage was filling the environment. It was as if his wolf was in the front seat of this trial, and not the man.“Stop this fu*king act. You are a hypocrite Daniel. Do you think I used some magic to make you lose your mate, yeah maybe I did. But you were the one who gave me that ammunition. Do you think I would be that stupid to attack a pack’s Luna, no my first choice was someone else completely, but I saw that you wanted an out when Ariana got weaker. It was you, who gave me this whole idea. So I did just that. You wanted a stronger mate, you wanted to
