LoganWhen I left my conversation with the other Alphas, I saw that Emily was in the middle of a confrontation with some of the other ladies. Among them was Eric’s wife, Pam.I had no doubt she would try to stir up trouble the same way Eric did.As I approached, prepared to interrupt their conversat
EmilyAll we did was stand there, locked in each other’s gazes. With Logan standing a step below me, we were eye to eye for the first time.The heat between us was intense. The closeness of our faces made our breaths mingle.Whenever we were together, and especially when we were alone, the air felt
I bit my lip to stop that uncomfortable new feeling.Logan didn’t seem to notice the blonde maid’s curves as he turned his eyes to me. A wry smile curled his lips for a moment.“It’s fine like it is,” he said. The low tone of his voice sent an electrifying shiver down my spine. He continued back out
EmilyBy the time the reporter had left, my head was spinning. At every step, Logan surprised me.He was rumored to be cold and logical. He was supposed to be the kind of businessman who’d ruin others if it brought him up higher. Everyone said so.The real Logan didn’t live up to the rumors.He was
The press conference was at the media outlet’s main building in the capital. The place was practically a skyscraper, its shimmering windows reflecting the sun’s rays.We were having the press conference at a soundstage within the building. A stage was set up along with a blank backdrop, stage lights
EmilyApplause erupted through the few reporters watching the live show, and the internet went crazy.As soon as I realised what I’d done, the tips of my ears turned red. I’d lost myself in the moment, and somehow my impulse had been to kiss Logan.I turned away quickly, trying to act casual and as
Amy looked down at her feet as she continued to speak. “I’ve been taking a potion to hide it. It makes it seem like I have a wolf, but it’s been taking a toll on my health. I’ve always been too afraid to stop taking it though, even if it hurts me in the long run.”“Why would you do that? If it’s mak
LoganAs soon as my father left, my chin fell to my chest. There was never a moment of peace so long as my father was around.I had hoped our efforts had been enough to prove that Emily was fit for the role of Luna, but he was insistent that I eventually reject her.I had originally intended to do t
Emily’s hand squeezed mine under the table. Before I had the chance to interject, she answered Eric calmly.“I don’t think that’s the proper way to behave around the dinner table.”Eric scowled. “It was just a joke.”“Regardless, it was in poor taste.” Emily took a bite of her food. “Unlike this ama
LoganI couldn’t stop thinking about our almost-kiss.It replayed in my mind like a looped song I couldn’t turn off. I vividly remembered the way the candlelight had caught in her hair, how her breath had hitched as I leaned in, and the quiet moment before I stepped away. The look in her eyes had be
“Okay,” I said slowly. “Thank you.”True to his word, he made an effort. They were clumsy efforts, but efforts nonetheless. He loaded the dishwasher incorrectly, and I corrected it when he wasn’t looking. He wiped down counters with too much force.He tried, and I tried to soften. I did my best not
EmilyMoving into Logan’s house felt like stepping into forbidden territory. It was his personal space, designed exactly how he liked it, and it didn’t seem like anyone else had been welcomed before.The place was stunning and immaculate. It had high ceilings, polished wood floors, and a kitchen tha
EmilyBy morning, the sting had dulled.It had taken hours to coax myself out of the spiral. I wasn’t the jealous type. I wasn’t the girl who stormed away from whispered rumors and veiled stares.Seeing Chloe kiss Logan, seeing him stand there, impassive and infuriatingly unreadable chipped at somet
Third PersonWhispers swirled like leaves caught in a current. Chloe had cracked something open, and now everything felt unstable. At the pack house, in the meeting halls, even at the training fields, the air held a strange static and an anticipatory hush.A storm was coming.Chloe knew exactly what
EmilyThe next morning, I didn’t knock when I entered his office. I opened the door and walked in, reminding myself to be confident as I clutched the folder of evidence against my chest.He looked up from his desk, startled. “Emily?”I stayed by the doorway, tension wound tight around my spine. “We
LoganI had always believed I was capable of handling anything that came my way.It was in my nature. I was more than an Alpha, I was a man in control. Only now I was faced with a fire I wasn’t sure I understood. The worst part was, it wasn’t my enemies setting the blaze.It was Emily.I hadn’t been
I didn’t have to strain to hear them.The hush of conversations when I passed didn’t stop even when I was right in front of them.“… never thought she’d last this long…”“… Logan hasn’t really fallen for her, has he?”“… it has to be a fake relationship, especially with a wolf like hers…”Each word l
