“ You could have pleaded guilty you know?” said Jacob as he held her chains and dragged her to the hell that was going to be her home for the next seven years.
Levy looked up from her hands that were bounded by shifters resistant handcuffs and stared at her brother in incredulity. “ I haven’t killed her why would I plead guilty?” Then she thought about it and added, “ If I have pleaded guilty he would have killed me not pardoned my supposed to be sin.”“ It would still have been better than this wouldn’t it?” said Jake without much emotion on his face, he has always been like that towards her ——-detached and cold. Being the good son of their father, hating her was something he was bound to learn even if he didn’t learn it from the womb of their mother, for as long as she remembered, Jacob has never cared for her. No, at first when they were children, he cared for her but then after he was caught by their father, he was severely punished by him… after that, her brother stopped caring and simply watched her suffer from the sidelines.So, it came as a surprise that he was willing to say these words to her. “ Now what, do you pity me?” she asked and when she saw annoyance flash in his eyes, she finally understood why he said those words. “ No, you don’t pity me… you have never pitied me. The reason you are saying these words is because you know that I am not guilty and yet you have to drag an innocent to the prison isn’t that it? You are upset because this is against your beta values—— against your righteousness, right?”When panic flashed on Jacob’s face she knew that she was right, she turned to look at Jesse who looked away clearly feeling guilty for his actions. He was the head enforcer and just like Jacob he was supposed to be the mascot of honesty and justice but here he was sending an innocent witch like her to prison.Mockery flashed in her eyes, as she turned her head to look at Jacob before she sneered. “ So, you wanted me to die? Right, you would have wanted that, if I have died then you would have somehow justified your silence by making excuses, won’t you? I never thought that you were such a coward Jakey.” She cooed making Jacob’s face flush as he whipped around and looked at him. “ Don..Don’t you dare call me a coward.”His eyes flashed wolf as he took a step forward. “ You have no idea how hard it is for me, you don’t know… you have never known anything, so don’t stand there and judge me like you have even the slightest bit of idea what I have gone through because of you …. What I am going through because of you.”Levy watched his face turn red and purple before she leaned in closer as she coldly whispered, “ I don’t need to know anything, you know why? Because I know one thing and that's my brother stood silently on the side while I was being punished for a crime I didn’t commit… when he knew that I wasn’t guilty.” She head-butted him as the humans from the prison came charging at them before spitefully cursing at him. “ So, f*ck you and your self-righteousness, Jacob. You better pray that I don’t die in there because if I do, I will haunt you forever.”The woman dressed in a long black cloak and a veil that covered her face stormed through the snow and clutched her chains before pulling her along with her. “ And if I die, you both better remember that your cowardice was what that killed an innocent before you speak of righteousness ever again!”Because she was struggling the female warden raised the magical version of a shock stick and placed it on the back of her neck. Levy jerked violently and before she fainted she realised one thing and that was——the rumours of shifters being treated like a stress reliever weren’t a lie at all.That f*cking bitch adjusted the shock stick to the maximum level.Levy woke up with a jolt when chilling water was thrown at her, as a wolf shifter she hated cold. Teeth chattering she looked at the female warden who was looking down at her, or at least that was what she thought they were doing since she couldn’t see their faces in the dark like of the prison and with their faces covered in a black veil. “ Ah what a shame, she woke up … I was going to use my latest shock stick on her.” said the woman on the left as she raised her brand new stick. “ It would have given a dramatic effect, water + electricity = boom!” “ Who says you cannot do that anymore?” said the one on the right with an amused chuckle. “It's not like she can rush off and complain to her mommy can she?”Both of the women laughed out loud at the poor joke, their laughter reverberating in the dark prison. Levy stiffened as she watched the woman with the shock stick coming close to her, her clothes were dripping with water and if she got electrocuted then she might not even make it o
Levy felt like she was dreaming, there was no way that Logan will come looking for her, right? If this was her old self, she would have been happier than ever, even foolishly believing that he came for her, that he realised his mistake but after seven years in hell, where she had to sleep with an eye open worried that the warden would make a move when she was asleep. But now that seven years have passed, she no longer held any hope. She knew it in her heart that if he wanted to save her, he would have done that for seven years, he wouldn’t have waited till the day she finished serving her sentence. She took a glance at him just for a moment though and realised that the teenage boy has grown up to become a flawless man. With those sleek muscles that were neither too buff nor too lean, he looked even better than before, dangerous even not that Levy cared anymore but her wolf——That pitiful animal, who still had some hope left when it came to her mate whined inside her head, her whine
Levy pushed herself off Logan’s face and then turned around to leave, she was in no mood to care about anything that Logan has to say to her, he was seven years too late and from the looks of it..he wasn’t even here to apologise to her. Her wolf whined in a low voice, telling her to give Logan another chance but she didn’t, instead, she walked away without looking back, not once did she look at Logan who was left behind, and maybe she wouldn’t have ever if he didn’t stop her. Again. “ Levy Harlow, you can say whatever you want but you are still alive aren’t you? And I hate to repeat this but I have never renounced my claim on you nor have I permitted to leave the pack, if you leave now then you will be branded as a traitor along with being a murderer is that what you want?”Logan called out pausing Levy mid-track as she turned her head and cursed him inwardly in her head for not letting her go even after torturing her for so long.She knew she couldn’t leave, no matter what —- not whe
Wow! That was the only thing that came to Levy’s mind after she was done listening to Logan. Her wolf let out a rumbling snarl at his audacity for asking help after what he has done to them, but Levy was certain that most of her wolf’s anger was due to him mentioning another woman. “ And what makes you think that I will just do as you are asking me to do?” she said ignoring the way her gut twisted when he looked at her. Those grey metallic eyes pierced right through her and Levy almost felt her knees give up before she drew in a breath and calmed herself down. No, she cannot afford to make the same mistake as she did before by trying to get closer to him, not when she knew that the guy only cared about Mavis, so it was better to draw a line before she messes up the situation because of the pull of the mating bond. Narrowing her eyes, she tilted her head. “ I mean what does this deal have for me?” “ What do you mean by deal?” Before Logan could reply, Elder Hopkins jumped up again
Logan shifted his attention by taking a calming breath most probably he was feeling like that because of the mating bond, or maybe it was his wolf that was feeling a bit intrigued by the woman who defied him for the first time in his life. There was no interest, not like the one he had for Mavis especially not for a woman who took her away from him, his eyes cooled down and he raised his head to look at Levy, their eyes clashing causing the air between them to crackle. “I will not repeat what I have said, its an order for you to treat Lily and put her right,” he said looking away from those cobalt blues, that were so dark they almost looked black, ignoring the way her corkscrew curls fluttered in the air like blazing flames. “ This is not a two-way option for you.” If he thought that he can just put her in her place by smacking her with ‘grrr, I am your Alpha..grrr you will have to listen to me,’ then he was hella wrong because that’s not how things were going to work. Jutting out h
“ So, do we have a deal?” Turning her attention away from Elder Hopkins as she shot a questioning glance at Logan, she wasn’t going to get anywhere near his car without getting the confirmation that she needed. Logan stared at her long enough to make the hair on the back of her neck stand and when she was sure he was going to refuse her, he watched her nod his head. “ We do, if you can break Lily’s curse, I will set you free.” “ You swear?” said Levy as she crossed her arms in front. “ I do not trust your word, don’t blame me for that but I do know just how sweet you were to Mavis, I don’t trust you. What if I wake Lily up by breaking her curse and you come ambling down at me saying that I haven’t suffered enough? I cannot risk that, I was a fool once but I won’t repeat the same mistake twice.” “ You dare——” started Elder Hopkins but Levy didn’t give a chance to aggravate her even further than she already was, this was supposed to be her long-awaited freedom and now she was once ag
“ What in the blazes you are doing?” she cursed pulling down the jacket that was thrown at top of her head out of nowhere. “ What in the hell does this means?” “Not as sweet as you were seven years ago, eh?” He commented before turning around to look at her, his huge build towering over her. “ I do remember that you didn’t like using curse words the last time I saw you.” “Why don’t I kick you where your sun shines and show you how sweet I am? Don’t worry I won’t kick you hard enough to break your nuts.” She smiled at him sweetly before throwing his jacket back at him, wasn’t as sweet as she was? Maybe if he hadn’t thrown her in a shit hole for seven years, she would still be the same. Naive, sweet and so in love with him. Levy brushed past him but Logan stopped her, as he threw his jacket back at her. “ Put that on, I do not wish to smell the grimy scent of your body while sitting in the same space as you.” “Yeah because you smell like a god damn bath bomb do you?” She snapped b
“What do you mean by I can’t go home? Where else do you want me to go?” Levy couldn’t believe him, he was stopping her from going back to her home, so where did he want her to go? Was he expecting her to live on the territory like a rogue? Knowing him, there was a good possibility that he might as well ask her to live on the territory under the shelter of the trees. Eyes narrowed she immediately pulled the hood of the jacket from his hand. “ I am not going to live in a tent if that’s what you have prepared for me.” Logan arched a brow and then smiled at her ‘not the genuine’ kind but instead, he smiled at her like he was seriously considering the idea of letting her live in a tent on the pack’s grounds. “ It’s not a bad suggestion but fortunately for you, I can’t let you live in a tent.” “ Then where will I live if not my house?” She asked looking at him in incredulity. “ With me.” After he spat those two words, Levy waited for him to say ‘hah, did you think that I will let you l
