* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *Before I went to bed that night, I called my step parents and informed them that I would come and pick Aidan early in the morning.Once I hear the cockcrow, I will carry my luggages, pick up Aidan and say goodbye to the city. I might never come back here again to avoid Alpha Logan Stewart finding us. I would die before he kills my son.As I went to bed that night, my whole body ached due to the terrible day I had. Logan had really caused me a lot of stress.The next morning when I woke up, I quickly took a bath, got dressed in a simple gown and headed to my step parents house with my luggages.I know they are going to be sad that I am leaving, but I have to go. It's important that I do.Michael tried to call me a few more times the previous night but I had ignored his calls, and at a point switched off my phone.I will call him after I leave the city else he might succeed in making me change my mind.I arrived at my step parents house and for som
* * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I returned from the pharmacy and made Aidan take the drugs. The symptoms of his illness seemed strange to me, if it was what I suspect it could be, then I don't see what could have caused it.Anyways I was not too worried about it, that was the only advantage I saw in being a werewolf, his health would improve quickly.I am sure that in two days he will be very healthy again. I climbed down the stairs and sat on a couch in the sitting room. I was feeling so weak and tired due to the stress last night.I heard some footsteps and noticed it was my stepmom coming down the stairs. I had left them with Aidan up in my room. I guess Dad was still up there with him.My stepmom climbed down and walked to me in the sitting room, she sat down on the couch next to me and faced me.I know she had something to say but I wondered what it would be. I hope she doesn't ask me why I want to leave the city because I do not want to talk about that now."Crystal, I want
* * * * * Omniscient Narrator * * * * *Two Days later, it was Monday. Logan had not gone to work, not to his business or school office, he decided to stay at home and rest for the day.Ever since that night with Crystal, he felt that she was still hurt by his words so he decided to give her some space for the meantime.He did not go to her house on Saturday or on Sunday and he did not try to call her either.Although staying away from her made him feel incomplete, he was so used to being around her that two days without seeing or communicating with her took a lot out of his body.To worsen it, his wolf had been very restless. The animal was tired of submitting to his depression, it wanted to be let out and would not let Logan have peace of mind until he did so.Finally Logan couldn't fight it anymore, he couldn't oppose the beast's demand so he decided he was going to let it out.The wolf which he had named Zach was super excited, when he let it know his intention of letting it ou
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *It felt like someone was watching me from the woods but whenever I looked in that direction, I saw no one.So I decided to quicken my pace and ignore whoever was there.The highway was quiet today with few cars passing, the sun was up and blistering but yet my body felt cold as the East wind emerged from the woods.I was having this strange feeling and goose pimples were awkwardly all over my body.I don't understand why I feel this way, it's really strange.Suddenly I heard a loud screeching sound behind me, I turned around to see Logan leap into the road just between me and the car that had been trailing behind me.It looks like the car was about to hit me but he blocked it with his body. His strength was able to knock the car to another direction but he also got pushed away by the impact of the strike.He rolled off and before I could see it coming, his hand hit me making me fall to the ground while he rolled forward.The man in the car looked
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I arrived at the front door of my step parent's house. My heart was still beating loudly as a result of what had just happened.Was my actions wrong?Leaving him out there in that condition. He deserved it anyway, so why should I feel bad? Why should I feel guilty?Now come to think of it, he is a werewolf. He would heal very fast and I would not have been much of a help to him anyway, I mean what could I have done? Carry him home or heal his wounds with sorcery? I couldn't have helped him in any way so I should stop feeling bad.I looked at my bruised knee and elbows, they were still bleeding. I wonder who would want to kill me, take aside the psychopath I pissed off months ago, I don't remember getting myself into trouble with any other person, so why the heck did that man try to kill me?If he was contracted, then who the heck hired him to kill me and why?At first I thought it was all arranged by Logan, but then after thinking it through, I a
* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"Mum, what do you want from Logan? I don't see why you would need any help or favor from him," I said."Actually Crystal, I want you to ask the Alpha Wolf to use his Alpha blood to awaken the wolf clan sword of our Pack, that will make our wolf clan greatly enhanced."What?How could she even think of that?First, I don't see myself requesting anything ever from Logan, secondly that's a very strange request.If Logan does that, it would cause damage to his body. Awakening the wolf clan sword with his blood would make him very weak, he won't be too far from an ordinary man."What are you saying mum? You know that it's dangerous," I half-yelled.She came closer to me and sat on the chair, then placed a hand on my shoulder."It's not that dangerous Crystal, it won't kill him, it would only take strength out of him. Also, why are you even concerned about him? I mean you hate him right? He's your enemy and he has been taking advantage of you, so use t
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself several times to confirm that this was not really happening, that I was probably dreaming.How could this be the woman that has raised me since I was eight?She was always caring, nice and selfless, she was never greedy or desperate for power like this.Now she acts like she has been possessed by an evil demon or someone has cast a spell on her, but what if I was wrong all those years?What if my idea of her was not the actual truth? Perhaps I never really knew her, maybe this is the real her but she has only been pretending all these years.I used to look up to this woman as a mentor, she taught me to value the little I have but today she wants me to hurt someone else just for the sake of power.Someone cannot become this evil in just one day which can only mean that this is how she has always been, this is her true nature, how come I never saw it?"Because it's not right Mum, I can't do it," I repliedAltho
** * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I am yet to get a response from my stepmom. Why is she so quiet? Are my suspicions correct? I know that they are."I asked you a question Mum, are you responsible for the recent attacks on me? Did you pay the man to run me over with his car? Answer me honestly Mum.If I am wrong, then please tell me that I'm wrong but don't just keep quiet like that, say something!" I half-yelled.I cannot believe this is happening, I wished it was just a bad nightmare and when I wake up in the morning, that I would find my loving, caring, selfless step mum back again."Listen Crystal, this is also your mission so don't take it like I am asking you for a favor, it's your responsibility too!"I see! So she just ignored my question and preferred to lecture me instead. By the way, how exactly is this my mission?The Alpha in question is not a rival to my parents pack and even if he was, it's not enough reason for me to do what they are asking of me.We have alread
