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 was full of longing with a hint of resentment.She suppressed her wolf—— never again, will she care for this man. Once she loved him even more than her pride and what did it get her? Seven years in prison? Blinded in one eye?This much was enough to wake her up from the dream she was living in.Turning her head, she drew the denim jacket that was too small for her and why wouldn’t it be? It was seven years old after all, she was eighteen when she was pushed into this prison and now she was twenty-five.A mature woman from a young teen, what a journey.With her body bundled in a jacket that was too small for her, Levy walked past Logan who watched her go like he wasn’t even there for her. A slight pang that’s all she felt but of course that slight pang was enough to make her heart bleed, seven years and he was still the same as before—— whatever, if he was here, hoping that she will rush to him with her tail wagging like before, then he can go and suck it.“ Levy Harlow, I command you to stop.” His voice called out from behind her but she didn’t look at him nor did she stop, she kept walking. Her freedom was just a few steps away once she was off the prison grounds she will be able to use her powers as a shifter and run from this place without turning back.“ Levy Harlow, I as your alpha and mate, command you to stop!” Logan repeated his words and a sneer formed on Levy’s face, as her alpha and mate? Who was he kidding? He rejected her years ago, the very day he sent her to the prison——-The chain of her thoughts broke as her knees buckled under her and she fell with a low thump. The sound of footsteps echoed behind and then a pair of black leather shoes came to stop in front of her, stunned as ever she raised her head at Logan. “ You didn’t renounce your claim?”Annoyance flickered in his eyes as he sneered. “ Why should I renounce my claim on you? So that you can live a happy life?” Then he raised his leg and kicked Levy on the shoulder making her wince in pain. Damn that was where she was slashed yesterday.He ignored her wince of pain just like he ignored her pleas seven years ago and went on, “ Mavis didn’t get to live a happy life, why should you?”“So, that’s why you are here?” said Levy as she pushed herself off the ground and looked at him with a roaring fire burning in her eyes. “ You are here because you want to make me suffer even more, right?”“ That’s right,” he didn’t even stop for a heartbeat before answering. “ You are yet to pay for your sins, Levy Harlow.”“Sins?” Levy laughed as she took off her jacket and threw it on the ground before she started taking off her tee-shirt.Logan frowned as he stepped back in disgust. “ What are you doing? I wouldn’t sleep with you even if you are the last woman on earth.”“ And I would not sleep with you if you were the last man,” retorted Levy as she threw her tee-shirt at his face causing Jake who was behind Logan to shriek. “ What are you doing Levy? He is your alpha .”“ An alpha that I neither accept nor respect,” shot back Levy as she strode closer to Logan who whipped off the shirt of his face. She pointed to the scars covering her body and sneered, “ You see these? Did your precious Mavis suffer this much? Did she ever know how it feels to have a chunk of flesh being slashed out?”Then she pointed to her eye that has gone blind for more than five years. “ Or does she knows how it feels to have a dagger almost piercing her eyeball?” When he didn’t answer and kept looking at her as stoic as ever she pushed him ignoring the yells of the enforcers, Elder Hopkins and her brother. “ I will tell you that she didn’t but I did? You talk about sins? Forget about the sins of this life, I might have as well paid for the ones in my past life.”She nastily smiled as she spat out. “ I must have made some inhuman sins, or else the moon Goddess wouldn’t have given me a mate like you,”“ Levy!” shouted Jake. “ Don’t go too far!”But she ignored him just like he did when she was pleading with him to save her life. She stared right at Logan with a tilt of her head as she cooed, “ Now you have to excuse me if I am being disrespectful to you but you know what,” raising her hand she patted his cheek. “ Levy Harlow, your mate and the enforcer of your pack died the day you pushed her to hell with your hands, so forgive me for not being showing adequate respect to you, my dear alpha.”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
Logan ignored the low whine of his wolf along with the smallest of the hurt that flashed in his heart. There was no way he was going to feel sorry for this woman, the murderer of his beloved Mavis—— she might say anything she wanted in her defence, deny that she was the one who killed Mavis but to him, she was indeed Mavis’s murderer. It mattered not whether she killed Mavis with her own hands or someone else did. He lost Mavis because Levy wasn’t careful enough, the woman he kept in the palm of his hands was taken away from him all because Levy didn’t protect her well enough and he will never forgive her for that!As soon as he thought about the grievances that he has suffered after Mavis’s death, the slightest bit of pity that rose in his heart vanished until it returned to its usual frozen state. After all, his heart died the day Mavis was taken away from him. Now, the only reason he was alive was Lily. He needed to take care of that little girl and get her to wake up, only then
“ She is really back?” “ I thought they were joking when they said that they were going to bring her back.” “ How can he bring that thing back?” Contemptuous gazes, jeering words filled with ridicule—— Even though seven years have passed, Levy felt like she was dragged back to her past once again. Just like the last time, everyone was looking at her as if she was a criminal despite having no evidence in hands but this time those gazes didn’t hurt as much as they once did before this time she had no expectations from these people surrounding her and acting as if they were at the crime scene to witness what she did to Mavis. “ What is she doing here?” A high-pitched shriek echoed somewhere and then someone rushed towards Levy with a pace that could only be defined as wanting to trample on someone until they were nothing but a bloody pulp. “ Why is she here?” Levy raised her head and looked at the petite girl in front of her, with black as the midnight sky and eyes that were a vibr
