Aella's dreams were as riotous as her life. She dreamt first of the woman in the picture frame: Logan's mother. The woman stood before her in the pack's garden, among the white tulips and with a beautiful smile on her face. "Keep my son safe." She whispered.Then Logan's mother morphed into Aella's parents in wolf form, standing.a distance from her in a deep dark forest. "Run, Little One." They called out "He will soon be here." But before she could do anything, a great black wolf came from behind and attacked her parents, tearing them into shreds.Her screams of terror were shut down by Kylie, whose hands were clamped down on her mouth. The woman's eyes shine amber with rage. "You can never be loved by the alpha." She growled. She thrashed around and screamed inaudibly as Kylie held down her mouth–And woke up in a pool of her own sweat, her mouth panting and her heart racing away. Aella groaned as a splitting headache attacked her head and she grabbed her head convulsively."Fuck, f
"Hold her carefully," Logan said to the maid who was supporting Aella with one hand."It's fine, Logan. I can support myself." She snapped at him. "I told you, I don't need anyone's help.""Well, better safe than sorry." He murmured and she gave him a glare of anger.She had been discharged from the pack's clinic and was being moved back to her room: the room she had slept in when she was a scullery maid for the alpha. They got to the door of her room and she stopped abruptly as her eyes took in the sight.Four burly, heavily armed guards were standing at her door. She could see that more latches and locks had been added to her door too. She turned to Logan with a disbelieving look."Really?" She asked. "Really, Logan? Is this your own form of torture?""Anything to keep you from escaping like the last time." He answered, not meeting her eyes. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep you here."Aella rolled her eyes. "Ugh! You're so insufferable.""It doesn't matter what I am. As long as yo
Logan adjusted his boxing gloves as he stared at the boxing bag determinedly. He wiped the sweat off his brow and started hitting the bag again, turning all his pent-up anger on it. He was tense and under a lot of pressure, and he felt like he needed to release a lot of it.He continued to hit the bag with a lot of grunts and sweat and did not notice Louve walk in with Aella. "Hello, dear alpha!" Louve called out to him and he turned abruptly. He had specifically told everyone to exit the gym room for him so he could practice his boxing in peace, so he was ready to tell the person off. But he stopped when he saw who it was."What do you want, Louve?" He asked, frowning sternly at his cousin. "As you can see, I'm a little busy here.""I didn't dispute that." Louve crooned. "And we're not going to disturb you either. We only came here to gym.""I told everyone to not disturb me. And that includes you." He muttered."Well, we aren't disturbing, are we?" Louve asked, then turned to walk t
A few days after this encounter between Aella and Logan, the atmosphere was booming with celebration as Casper and Louve were getting married. Preparations had started in earnest and Louve could often be seen in a flurry of activities, followed by Aella her new best friend.Meanwhile, Logan tried to avoid the wedding fever as much as possible. The only contribution he made to the whole thing was to give Louve permission to use the foyer of the pack house for her wedding. He always stayed holed up in his room or in the strategy room, trying to block out the noise of squealing maids and Louve's loud voice giving commands. Sometimes he wondered why they were rushing to get the marriage rites done but nonetheless, he was happy that Louve had finally found someone that made her happy.Today he was in the strategy room, trying to stay away from all the frenzy. He couldn't handle it; the sight of balloons and confetti everywhere reminded him of how different his relationship with Aella was f
Aella came down from the staircase and walked to the newlyweds. Louve hugged her with tears in her eyes admists whoops and cheers from the crowd. Logan watched the two of them hug, amazed at his mate's beauty.Soon the foyer was cleared of the chairs and makeshift altar and the whole room was converted into a dance hall. The lights were dimmed and a soft waltz blared from the nearby speakers. Couples took to the dance floor and began moving to the rhythm waltz, and soon the whole room was filled with slowly swaying bodies.Logan on the other hand, sat by the makeshift bar and calmly took sips of whiskey from his cup. His eyes were on Aella all through the night as she was so beautiful that he didn't want to let her out of his sight. She was on the other side of the room, sitting by another makeshift bar and watching the dancing people. Her sleek blue gown caught the bright swirling light and her thick black hair shone with a thousand different colours. He watched her happy face, prayi
The immediate feeling of satisfaction was unexplainable. Both Logan and Aella felt like that one kiss was what they had been waiting for all their lives. Aella closed her eyes and leaned in closer, letting Logan further capture her own mouth in his.Logan backed her up until her back touched the wall. He kept kissing her, crushing her lips with his, plundering every corner of her mouth with his tongue. He needed her so much that the desire clouded his sense of judgement.He needed her so much.His hands slipped from her face and skimmed her body. She was so little, yet so full. Wide, full hips jutted out from a slim waist, Small, pert breasts that were barely covered by the sheer blue gown that she wore."You're so beautiful, baby." He whispered, his voice already husky with desire. He skimmed her body with his bare hands touching her clothed body. His hands went to her boobs and cupped them. She wasn't putting a bra on but her boobs fitted into his palms perfectly.He began to knead
Aella awoke to the sound of birds chirruping happily. She stretched lazily and opened her eyes, peering at her surroundings like a newly born baby. The morning felt and looked so alive and young. The light that filtered from the window was golden and felt surreal, and a tree close to the window cast soft shadows inside the room.She felt unusually happy; her heart felt like it was floating in the air or she was bouncing around on balloons. She realised that she hadn't felt this kind of happiness and satisfaction since she joined the pack. In fact, since she became a wild wolf. It felt as though she had finally found her purpose after several years of aimless searching.She sat up and looked around properly, realising that she had woken up in Logan's room and not hers. Soon all the memories from last night began rushing back and she smiled sheepishly. She hugged her knees to her naked chest as the thoughts of what had ensued the previous night came back to her. The way the night had en
Logan and Casper his beta were on the training ground with about a dozen teenage werewolves. He looked at each of their innocent, eager faces. They were all so young; they reminded him of an earlier version of himself.He hated sending them out to the battlefield so young but he had literally no other choice. His men were so depleted that he was very sure that they could not stand against any form of opposition. He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling the hot morning sun beat his face.Sometimes Logan felt the ominous sense of danger hanging around the pack's surroundings. His spirit was not at peace: he kept feeling like something would happen soon but he could not say in particular what would. All he could do is prepare his people and wait.When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Louve and Aella had entered the training field and were watching them from a distance. The two most important women in his life, he thought. They were so alike, yet so different.Louve, in her very enthus
