View MoreLogan's POV
I couldn't bear the excitement a fortnight ago when I received the order to return home.
I had always been away from my pack since I had my first shift. But this was the first time I had spent almost a year at once outside of my pack.
My father prided himself in sending me on missions outside the pack's territory. It's safe to say I am a wayfarer.
I saddled my horse into the cold evening with about four guards trailing behind. I was supposed to meet Beta Peter at the borders, my father had promised to send him down.
The troops at the garrison of the new pack which I had helped to build saluted as I galloped away. The pack was still new and a high level of security was needed. It was a time when rogue wolves were running wild. They invaded and destroyed new packs easily.
"Stop!" I ordered the few guards that were with me as we neared the borders. They halted immediately, and I addressed them.
"I will go alone from here. Go back and reinforce the security around your pack," I declared.
One after the other they dismounted from their horses and bowed. Their faces were clad with emotions and I looked away from them.
"We are in a perilous time. The road is dangerous my Prince, we have chosen ourselves to lead you back to Moonlight Pack. We can't watch you go on your own," one of them said with one knee on the ground and one hand on his sword.
"The pack needs you more. My father has sent his Beta with some of his men to lead me home. I will meet them as soon as I cross the border. You should go!" I declared.
"Safe trip, my Prince!" They chorused in unison and mounted their horses. I watched them gallop away before I crossed to the other side.

"Prince Logan! Welcome home!" Beta Peter's voice boomed into the air, he was already waiting with his men.
"It's been almost 8 months, my Prince," he said cheerfully.
"You are good at keeping records," I responded with a dry smile.
"How is the new Pack doing? Beta Peter asked.
"We have no time to waste. The Night is fast approaching. Let's talk when we arrive at the palace."
"Pardon me, my Prince, I was too elated to think straight. It's been almost a year," he said and I nodded.
"Giddy up!" We yelled. Our horses galloped into the night, with the Beta's guards leading the way.
We had just covered a few grounds when the horses receded.
Beta Peter and I, who were riding side by side glanced at each other as the horses came to a halt.
"We are surrounded!" One of the guards exclaimed and we disembarked from the horses immediately.
The woods broke into life as men jumped down from the surrounding trees.
"Rogues!" I snarled.
I moved back slowly until I came in contact with the rest of my men. We stood back to back, in formation. We all retrieved our swords from their sheaths and waited, eyes peering into the darkness.
We didn't wait much. They came at us at once and we were ready for them.
A man rushed at me blindly. With my free hand, I whipped my fist around. His jaw cracked and he went down.
This seemed to have enraged his group as they all charged toward me. Beta Peter and his men retaliated and a fierce battle ensued.
I took a glance to see Beta Peter cut a man in half with one clean swipe. The other guards were holding up pretty well. While I looked around, somebody barrelled into me, tossing me to the ground.
My back barely touched the ground, I leaped back up and dealt my attacker a deadly blow, he went down with a thud.
I sprang to my feet only to behold another rogue swinging a dagger at me. Easily, I parried the blade and caught his hand. I twisted the hand forcefully until I broke his arm, and he went down screaming.
Another rogue charged at me, I rolled away from his kick, stole his momentum, and slammed him to the ground. Whipping out two short knives from my waistband, I made quick slashes and tore out the ankles of another rogue.
I lost focus as I looked around for Beta Peter. When I came around, I ducked a high kick aimed at my head from another rogue, slashing his thighs and stabbing him once in the chest.
"Retreat! Logan! We are outnumbered!" Beta Peter's voice boomed into the air but I wasn't done.
Beta Peter's order distracted me. Someone came at me stealthily from behind and before I could react, I was knocked off by a heavy punch to my temple. I rolled and stood up feeling dizzy.
"Ahhhh!" I groaned in pain as an arrow hit my chest. An excruciating pain sizzled through my body and instantly, I knew that it was a poisoned arrow.
Turning around, I located the one who shot the arrow, he was preparing to take another shot.
Howling in rage, I charged toward him like a deranged dog. I bit into his arm, making his bow fall.
Mustering all my strength, I lifted him and threw him against a huge rock. Blood splattered from his broken skull and his eyes clamped shut.
I staggered around and could hardly stand. I had exerted too much energy and I was out of breath. The venom was slowly circulating through my body, making me weak.
I was losing it. Everywhere was getting darker. My eyelids were getting heavy and I couldn't hold them open.
I fell to the floor and felt myself roll down and over the cliff. My bones cracked and merged and I shifted in mid-air as I fell.
With a heavy thud, my body hit the sharp jutting rocks at the bottom of the cliff, it was a great fall.
The dark sky and the twinkling stars were the last things I saw before I was enveloped in darkness.
Logan's POVI didn't mourn Jennifer's death but a deep sense of sadness fell over me. Perhaps, she meant something to me after all. Memories of the time we spent together as children flooded my mind every day, leaving me sick and sad.Her delusion and greed were her doom. Yes, we were playmates and we were friends because her father was my father's Beta. But that was all. I never saw her as a lover and I never made such inclinations towards her. Thinking back now, I realized that there were signs that she had fallen for me, she did not hide it, but I was too busy and insensitive to take notice.I was always away from the Packhouse and when I returned, I hardly saw her.Flashes of the moment she walked into the cave where Renae saved me, posing as my savior flooded my sight. I shut my eyes as I remembered how I tried to love her despite having feelings for the small doctor.Sometimes we determine our fate and sometimes what will be will be irrespective of our determination. It all de
Logan's POVI lost communication with almost everyone as we sped back to the palace. I mind-linked my mother, Lian and Renae but they didn't respond. Tera, my guard didn't respond either. Fear gripped my heart and like a lunatic, I tore through the wild leaving my men behind.I broke into the palace and I saw the ruins. The first place on my mind was my mother's chambers. My men had caught up with me and they sprinted behind me.A small group of people came into view as I got closer to my mother's chambers. Drawing nearer, I realized that it was Jennifer and her men.I didn't know if she was just going in or if she was done with my family already. Her sword was bloody and I fretted.Hatred and disdain shone in her eyes as she saw me. She snarled and at the swipe of her hand, a few of her men charged into my mother's chambers while she led the remaining men towards us.Now, I had my answer, she sent her men in because she hadn't dealt with those inside. With renewed spirits, I gave
Logan's POV At this point, I could only pray that things worked out as planned and nothing would boomerang on us. After hearing from Lian, I realized that my plan just failed woefully. I should have seen into Jennifer's mind. But who knew what the psychopath was planning? All my focus was on saving Renae and our pups. I should have known that Jennifer wouldn't just go all the way out to attack only Renae. Since I knew that she had a grander plan, I should have seen it happening. Well, I am out here and I can't be there either. I just have to trust my men. I was glad that I left Tera back at the palace. He wanted to come help me out here but I told him to stay back. "Tera, listen and listen carefully. The palace has been infiltrated…" I mind-linked him and told him the situation. I gave him the order to act as he deemed fit. When he told me that Alpha Noel was around, I felt at ease. I knew there wouldn't be any problem and I could concentrate on the deal before me out here. The
Jennifer's POVI sat in my facade waiting for the best news ever. I pushed the small table in front of me out of the way and rose to my feet to make my declarations."Tonight, the cup of their sins is full and I, Jennifer Tower, will avenge the blood of my father and his men on the royal family of the Moonlight Pack. I will destroy the royal family and even in death, Logan will realize the anger of a woman deprived of her love!" Of course no one could see me and one one cared to listen but it was a matter of time, tonight! I sipped from the whiskey in my hand before pouring libation to the death. Those that were long gone and those who were surely going to die tonight.I resumed my seat, waiting for the news. Then Renae came to my heart. Oh! Poor Renae.I knew Renae was obedient and easy going but her virtues won't help her this time.She had later sent a letter to me telling me that she was leaving the pack with her pups just like I had ordered.Good! Good! Good! It was a nice move
June's POVRenae had been sleeping all day long. If she hadn't resolved her issue with Alpha Logan I would have thought she was sleeping because of her anxiety.I was glad when she told me that she had told Logan about Jennifer's threat. I felt a huge lump fall off my neck. When Alpha Logan summoned me the previous day, I was too overwhelmed to talk. Moreover, I always like to respect Renae's opinion. Although in this case I knew that delay might be dangerous, I still waited for her and I was glad that she did the right thing.She told Logan and she even devised a means to outsmart Jennifer.Logan accepted her plans but felt it was too risky. He was all lovey dovey, saying he couldn't risk the life of his mate. After much thought he came up with another plan that seemed less risky.We were at the Queen mother's chambers with about three maids. All other maids were locked out and no one knew that we were there except those of us that were inside.We were all grounded at the Queen moth
Lian's POV I was sitting in front of my chambers thinking about everything that had happened recently. Renae's return was indeed a blessing, but it had made Jennifer bring out her claws. I had decided to spend more time in my chambers than at Renae's or mother's chambers. My chambers gave me a better view of Jennifer's chambers. I had men who were watching over her, but I felt better spying on her too. I need a break tonight. I would go on my hunting trip. And I just have a feeling that it would be a big one. I was going to catch a big game. "Targon, prepare my full hunting gear, we are going to the hunting range tonight," I said to my guard. "You mean we? Am I going with you?" Targon asked. "Yes, tonight," "On it, my princess," Targon said and vanished out of sight. What a good boy he had been. I lay down on the sofa on my porch, trying to catch some sleep before the night fell. I had hardly closed my eyes when my guards announced. "Alpha Noel has arrived!" "Alpha Noel!? Oh
