Logan’s POV
Uncle Liam links me before I even make it to the training ground. Gut instinct tells me that he is about to ruin my fun!
“I need you to come see me, now.” I roll my eyes, ready for the warning he was going to give me.
“I’m on my way to training. ”
“There is no training taking place today.” There’s worry in his tone. It wasn’t like Liam to ever be worried. He was usually so chilled.
“You need to come to my house. Now!”
“Fine, I am on my way!” I snap through the link
Taking a detour, I make my way to his house, where he is sat nursing a glass of whisky. His eyes flicker up to me as he kicks out a chair and tells me to sit. His brow is wrinkled as he concentrates on his glass. His frown makes him look old. Is this what Alpha life held for me?
“Where are the others?”
His house was normally packed with the rest of his brood, but he was here, alone.
“You’re aunt has some news about the twins.”
“Aunty Kendra is helping?” I was shocked because I was more powerful than her and yet I wasn’t allowed to join in the search. Aunty Kendra wasn’t really my aunty, she was mom’s best friend since I was a baby. She was also the one who taught me to control my gift.
Uncle Liam nods his head and takes another swig before refilling the glass.
“If she doesn’t make it back!”
“I know, I know. You will blame me.” I grumble. Not everything around here was my fault.
He shakes his head at me.
“I will never forgive myself.”
There was a huge change in the atmosphere and I take the seat.
“Well, what is it and why haven’t you told my father? I am not the Alpha yet.”
“Because it will break him. Logan, you are the future Alpha, you have to keep a level head. None of us know what’s in store for you.”
“So you wanted to give me a pep talk. I thought you said you had some news on the twins?”
“Kendra thinks they are dead.” He comes straight out with it and I feel my jaw drop.
“Huh?” He couldn’t be talking about them. He would have gone to my father, not me.
“Logan, you know exactly who I am talking about.”
“No! She is wrong!”
“Logan, she is certain.”
“No. I would know, I would be able to tell If my sisters were dead. Where is Aunty Kendra? If she thinks they are dead, I want to hear it from her. Not from the husband!”
He slams the glass down on the table. The glass shattered as it made contact with the wood. The shards piercing his hand.
“She’s….” His eyes glaze over before he has a chance to answer me. I felt sick, something was wrong. Something with the twins. Aunty Kendra couldn’t be right. But I knew deep down that my aunty does not make mistakes.
Standing up, I go to leave when I feel it, I feel the pull on my heart followed by the nausea that hits my stomach. I struggle to catch my breath as I try to stand. An ache spreads through every inch of me. Someone was tearing my family apart as I stood here, wasting time.
The twins' screams echo in my head, I could feel their pain, how scared they are. But it wasn’t just them, my link to Lana opens, she was with them. A link that I had no control over. The last time it had opened between us, she had been in danger. She was with them, was she about to die too?
Liam steadies me as the pain radiates through my body, making my muscles spasm. Almost like my wolf was trying to come forward.
“FUCK!” I roar and turn, stumbling as I leave. I had to get back to the packhouse!
Everything starts to spin and I feel trapped. Pulling the bracelet from my wrist, I shove it in a pocket. I don’t care what my father said. I am finding them before it is too late!
Crashing in through the door, I find mom sobbing against my father. His eyes glance to me and then down to my wrist. He nods his head in approval. I didn’t need his approval, I was going to find them. I was going to find all three of them, no matter what it took.
Using the office, I toss the bracelet on the desk, I wouldn't be wearing it again. Concentrating on the photo my father had of the twins, I search for them.
It was dark, the image distorted. I couldn’t see them at first. But as the blur became clearer, I could see the disgusting state that they had been left in. Their heads had been removed from their bodies. Every limb broken, but they had still tried to hold on to each other in their final moments.
I was too late.
They were in a building of some sort, a building that I didn’t recognise. It was run down, the ceiling caved in in places, broken windows, some were boarded up. The twins bodies were alone.
Where was Lana?
As I look around, I suddenly see her. My mate.
She wasn’t injured, not a single thing seemed out of place, but she was standing over the twins, her brown eyes focussed on them. She had never been the one in danger, she was the one who had killed them.
Why was it her? Why was she with my sisters? Rage floods through me as I struggle to think clearly.
How could I be mated to someone so vile? To someone that kills her own kind?
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!” I scream at her through the link. I see her panic, her eyes wide as my words rattle through her head.
One year laterLana’s POVI never heard from Blake after that day. It was impossible for him to link me after I broke the bond between us. But it didn’t stop his wolves trying to locate me.For the first six months, it even made the news. That there was a new Alpha of Alpha’s. They gave my name and description, promising a reward if I was returned to them. But as time went on, my appearance on the news became less and less. The humans were losing interest. I was never spotted. I had had my hair permanently relaxed so I didn’t have to deal with the curls. I wore shades when it was sunny or brown contacts when the weather was rubbish. If I went out, I never went out alone. I was always with Dillon. A human.It had taken a couple of months before we officially became a couple. Though that didn’t stop us fooling around before then. Not once did I feel pressured with him. Not once did I feel like he was hiding something. He never hesitated to answer a question. He was different, he wasn’t
Lana’s POV“I already know that.”“No you don’t. Not entirely.”Switching off the car engine. I turn to look at him properly. “What do you mean?”“Blake controls what he wants to control.”“I don’t follow.”“You really are naive, Lana. They told me that you were hard to convince. That you didn’t understand pack life. But you really can’t see what is right in front of you.” He pulls open the jeeps door, grabbing my hand, he places it on his chest. Just like Blake, he had no heartbeat.“How?” I mutter“We are all the same. Anyone that is under Blakes leadership ends up like us.”“Why would you follow him?” “Because it’s always too late. By the time we realise, there is no turning back.”“I don’t get it?”“Holy shit, Lana.” He shakes his head at me. “Are you just not willing to see it, is that it?”“See what? Blake said he made a deal.”“And you didn’t think to question it. He is the reason you killed Logan. He is the reason you chose him. He is the reason for everything.”“Why?”“Becau
Lana’s POVLogan leans into me, gasping for breath. The Blade slips further into his heart. I couldn’t believe that I had done it. That I was the one to kill him. That I was the one to finally stop him.Xavier had told Blake that I was in the back of the car. Blake had talked me through the plan. He made it clear that I could not speak back to him. That if I were, it would give me away. That Logan would know.He told me that they were tracking me, that I would have to take a chance and throw myself from the car. I did exactly what I was told. The moment my feet hit the ground, I run into the forest. Logan had been steps behind me. If he had lunged forward, he probably would have got me. But Blake somehow pulls me away. Lifting my feet off the ground as he placed a hand over my mouth. He wasn’t alone. I could just make out Xavier and Abby hiding among the trees. Abby's eyes were looking in the direction I had just come from. Her lips moving.As Blake hands me the dagger. I felt the sa
Logan’s POVShe had given herself to him. I could smell his stench all over her as I held her close. But she would be mine again soon enough. She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t fight me, even when I pin her against the door. She doesn’t even try to link Blake. In fact she does everything that I ask. Pulling her out of the window, I drop us to the ground. Checking that we were entirely alone before heading into the forest.Blakes men were stupid. They were easy enough to get past undetected. It helped that Lana followed me like a sheep. That she did everything I asked.Pushing her into the back seats of my hidden jeep, she still remains quiet. There was no heavy breathing, there weren’t even any tears. She looks back over her shoulder as I drive away from the new pack that Blake had created.“Don’t you dare link him.” I warn her. If she had already done so, there would be no chance that I would get out of the pack grounds alive.Her head moves up and down. Her brown eyes wide as they lo
Lana’s POVHe was so angry. The grey of his eyes deepened as he snapped at me, pointing to the door. He must have seen the vision too. It was the only answer as to why he was so angry.“I don’t want to see Freya. I want to know what the vision means. I know you saw it too.”“It’s you.” He takes a step back. “It was never Logan. It was always you.”“I don’t know what you mean!” I did though. He had seen it as clearly as I had. The dead bodies piled up underneath me. The blood that was streaked across my face. How he and Logan were both looking up to me.“You know exactly what I mean Lana. Don’t try and play the fool now.”“I’m not… I…” I had no idea what to say and sit myself back down in his office chair. “I would never.”“Wouldn’t you? It’s not like you are sin free is it? You have killed wolves in your bid to find him. Your aim was to stop him.”“I didn’t, that was Abby. I was just… just there. I don’t want to do that. That isn’t me.”He lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me. “I
Blake’s POVIt was like we had never been apart. Everything came flooding back. Every inch of her body was just as I remembered.Hurrying up the stairs, I run into Freya. She frowns and then asks if I had seen Lana. She didn't normally speak to me unless Calvin or Lana were around.“Yes, I’m just retrieving some clothes for her.”Her frown deepens until her brows suddenly shoot upwards, a big smile on her face. “Could you just tell Lana that I need to speak to her, like urgently.”“Is there a problem?”“Not exactly. Maybe, I guess. Nothing to do with Logan or anything thats happening.”She spins around and I catch the extra scent on her. She was pregnant.“You want me to tell Lana that you’re pregnant?”She turns back to me. Her eyes wide. “How did you know?”“I’m not stupid, your scent has altered to accommodate the hormones.”“I know you don’t like me Alpha Blake, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Not now, not ever.”“Have you told Calvin?”She shakes her head at me.“Then maybe start
