But where was the justice in that?Even Logan knew that I wanted to prove I deserved what was supposed to be mine.Even in the cool wind of the night, a warm and fuzzy feeling washed over me. Thinking about Logan made me feel better than Micahel did.Although our relationship was cold and contractua
Third Person It was tradition in Titanfang pack that Lunas become familiar with their Alphas affairs. This helped them understand the workings of the pack before marriage so that when they stepped into their role, they knew what to do.At least, that’s what Logan told Emily.She was skeptical. She
Emily“Eat first, then you can have this back.”“This is the first time someone has ever dared to speak to me like that.” Logan frowned, his metallic eyes burning cold as they gazed up at me.“It’s my duty as your fiancée to make sure you’re taking care of yourself.” Logan’s gaze continued to grow c
Third Person POVThe envelopes were thick and government-stamped. Their weight hit the marble countertop loud and heavy as Chloe slapped it down. She stared at it, her heart stuttering in her chest.There were four: one for her, one for her mother, and one for her father.The Crowley family had offi
Despite everything, Chloe didn’t actually want to hurt Logan. She wanted him. She wanted to be at his side.“It’s not poison,” Hannah said, waving a hand. “It’s an aphrodisiac. It’s made from all natural ingredients. One dose and Logan won’t be able to keep his hands off you.”Chloe’s breath caught.
LoganFrom my desk in my office, I watched Emily work.Emily sat at her oak desk outside my door, her fingers dancing across her keyboard. A calm intensity was written in every line of her body. Her hair fell over one shoulder as she tilted toward the screen, her jaw set as she focused.She was beau
EmilyThe night started with a dress.It was a beautiful, pale-blue thing that hugged my waist and floated around my knees.I wasn’t used to soft fabrics or silver zippers. I was used to sensible shoes, high ponytails, and reliable, muted colors. But when I saw myself in the mirror, I didn’t see the
The second half of the show passed in a blur. The crowd rose in applause, the performers bowed, and the audience began to file out into the night.I followed, arm lightly looped through Logan’s, as if I was a well-placed accessory in the Alpha’s public tableau.Inside, I felt like a wilting flower.
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
