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
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
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 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 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 p
Renae's POV My name is Renae Hart. I am the illegitimate daughter of Alex Hart. I have no knowledge about my biological mother and I can't ask either. Any time I asked, my father always beat me up, mercilessly. My stepmother, Lucy, despises me. Not only her, I believe my father hates me too. My existence is a shameful reminder of his reckless youth. Despite my mother's absence, he never showed me fatherly affection. Even though I shared half of his DNA like Alice, my step-sister, he never treated me the same way he treats her. All he wanted was to push me out of his life and he did it. On my twelfth birthday, we had a visitor. I was made to serve him and even as young as I was, I noticed his keen interest in me. The visitor had a discussion with my father behind closed doors and when they were done, I was dragged away by a guard that came with the man. I was dragged down to our pack's hospital where I realized that I had been sold to the traditional medical treatment department
Renae POV It was twilight. Eagerly, I fixed on my sneakers and walked into the cold evening. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my faded jeans while the loop of the hoodie of my hooded sweatshirt was fastened around my neck. Slowly, I walked along the creek that led to my secret hideout in the woods. The earrings June gave me whispered in my ears, tinkling with a clear sound. They were silver metal hoops with a half-moon and a string of stars hanging from them. The two moons on either side could be joined to form one, with the letters R and J engraved on their backs, symbolizing that we are always together. I truly loved my sunshine lady. Finally, I caught the pleasant scent of Wild Lilac. I knew I had reached my secret hideout. The spot has been my refuge over the years. The first time I found it, I was on the brink of death. I had taken a lethal poison made from cobra venom and without the antidote, death was nigh. Was it the scent of the wild lilac? How I survive
Renae's POV The pain of my first shift was still fresh and my body was sore. When I was done, he looked better and his whimpering stopped. He breathed evenly and I was satisfied with the job well done. "It's worth the stress," I muttered and rose to my feet, yarning. Looking at him, I eyed his large body and fur. I was exhausted and cold, so I laid on top of him to sleep. "Hmmm…" I moaned satisfactorily as soon as I pressed into his body. His fur was soft and warm, easing away my tension. I breathed noisily as his strong hazelnut scent wafted into my nose. An unprecedented sense of comfort swept over me, making me feel safe. Slowly, my eyes fluttered and sleep took over me I woke up startled in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a dream. I tried to stretch out my body but I felt restrained. My back was crushed against the hard floor and the soft fur beneath me was gone. "What the heck? Where did he go?" I thought and my eyes fluttered as I became wide awake. I f
