~Gray~Left to me, I would never have thought of taking this route, but they left me no other choice.Azalea and August would surely not succumb to whatever I say unless I took it the hard way. Well, maybe they would come to their senses this time and realize that I will always have an edge over them.Now I have the support of the grand alpha, and not just that, I also have them both at my fingertips, making it easy for me to crush them at will.As soon as I was out of the prison room, I went out to feast with Zoe. How could I possibly forget her? She has been a crucial part of this journey right from time, and it's only right that I take her along in every aspect.Thankfully, I met her right before the king's throne room. From the look on her face, I could tell that she had also been searching for me.“How's she coping? I hope she won't be a threat to us later on?” She asked, a bit of skepticism etched across her face.I offered her a warm smile, hugging her to myself. “Of course not
~Gray~As I remembered Zoe's words, I knew I had no choice but to say what I had in mind. Who knows, Bruce might just be of help in the best way possible. And clearly, I needed his help more than I ever have.“I’m out on my way to have her and every single thing that belongs to me which August has taken from me. I can't afford to sit back and watch him have it all.” He sucked in a deep breath, his gaze menacing and at the same time, oddly calm. His brows furrowed as his dark eyes bored into mine.“Is that so?” He quizzed, his voice barely a whisper. He took a step forward, his bold frame towering over me. “Do you realize Azalea also belongs to me? What do you intend to give to have her?”I froze on the spot, his words echoing in my head. “I… I thought—” I choked out when I heard his cocky voice.“Thought what? That I would leave her for you on a platter?” He quizzed, his voice dripping with amusement. He shook his head and cupped my jaw, tilting my head up to face him. “Listen to me
~Bruce~My eyes stayed glued to Gray's, and at this point, I was no longer holding onto Zoe. I had to embrace myself for whatever his theatrics were.I sat up, watching him with amusement. I bet he has forgotten quickly how I warned him earlier. Now isn't it clear enough to him that I had the ultimate power to get whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted it?I've been waiting for this opportunity all my life, after lying to almost everyone that Zoe and I were cousins. But right now, I can't hold back my feelings anymore. Zoe is clearly everything I have been searching for in a woman.Gray aimed at me, anger seeping through his veins. But before he could get any closer, I trapped his legs and hauled him to the ground, pinning him to the floor with one hand.“Can't you see you are in no way close to my league? Why do you keep trying when it's obvious you can't get anywhere close to me?” I quizzed, trapping his neck with my leg.He twisted and turned, desperate to free himself from my gri
~August~I had come to the conclusion that no matter what the consequence might be, I must go to the Grand Alpha and ask for his help.Right now, I no longer care what it was that might have transpired between us both in the past. All I was keen on was to get Gray to stop all those stupid rumors he was spreading about me.I also knew he had Azalea, but that was the least of my problems right now. My company was at stake. My pack also—every single thing was crumbling right before my eyes, and despite everything I had tried to convince everyone of my innocence, they didn't seem to see the truth in what I was saying.As I stood there in front of the Alpha, Bruce, I couldn't help but crawl on my knees, rolling desperately at his feet—all for his help.But when I raised my head up to meet his gaze, I saw nothing but clear indifference. He obviously wasn't moved by everything I had said… not even a bit.“Is—is anything the matter, my King?” I asked, my voice shaking as I desperately sought
~August~“Of course. Why else would I be here if I wasn't serious about everything I just said?” My voice rang out, desperate and determined. “I want to know how you managed to get so much information about me, and I mean every bit of it.”I hated myself for sounding so vulnerable and desperate before a mere butler. But at this point, I didn't really care about anyone's position anymore.That same butler I was looking down on initially is the same person fighting and going all out of his way to make sure that justice was served in my case.I didn't mind answering to him or obeying each of his words, just as long as he was willing to find a solution to all my incurred problems.“Okay fine.” He said and sucked in a deep breath. “Those men whom you saw here earlier are all experienced private investigators. But I didn't get them here on my own accord, Azalea did.”My breath hitched.Azalea? How's that even possible?“She has been planning for a day like this, and as such, she decided to
~August~When the waiter went off to get the requested drinks, I stood up, taking an excuse to visit the restroom. “I'll be right back.” I said, offering Zoe a tight smile before I finally made my way out.I was already stepping out, going back to meet her when I felt a person's hand on my shoulder. Fear gripped me, and I shuddered, turning around slowly.But I was rather relieved when I saw the spy standing behind me.“What are you doing here?” I muffled under my breath, turning around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on us. I lowered my head, my voice barely a whisper. “Aren't you supposed to be there watching her every movement?”“Of course, yes. That's the exact reason why I'm here.” My eyes flashed with disbelief, his words echoing in my ear repeatedly. I nodded and leaned forward. “Okay tell me, why are you here?” “It's about Zoe.” He started, making my anxiety rise. “She… she has just drugged your drink. I don't know what she's up to but you have to act fast and smart.” A
~August~Henry let out an exaggerated laugh. “You're joking right now, aren't you?” He asked, somewhat drawn aback by what I had said. “Where do you intend to take her this time?”“Well, we'll find out tomorrow.” I remarked, sighing in resignation as I bent down to pull Zoe out of the car. The same way, I hauled her onto my shoulder, holding her legs firmly as I took her into my room. ~Next Morning She jolted awake with a startled snort, her eyes drifting off like she was daydreaming.“Where am I?” She choked out as she wiped her face with her palm. I couldn't help but laugh, clapping my hands at the same time to gain her attention. “Wakey wakey.” I teased, approaching her.I raised my face over hers, watching her with a victorious smile. “Surprised, aren't you?” I asked, shoving a strand of her hair gently to the side. She winced, her puffy eyes glaring at me with a heated intensity.“What am I doing here?” She sat up and began to access herself. Then she returned her gaze at me
~August~ As we approached the palace, I already sighted Bruce from a distance. He was seated as usual in his manor, but this time, it seemed as though he was in the company of someone. The moment he saw me approaching, hauling Zoe behind me, he sprang up to his feet, his eyes burning with a raging anger. “What's going on here?” His voice rang out, fierce and enraged. Then he walked up to Zoe, accessing her carefully. His gaze spun to me, his face boiling with anger. “I demand an explanation for this. Why is she being dragged this way to my palace?” Just then, I heard a soft hum behind me. Turning back, my eyes reeled with disbelief the moment I saw Gray. He didn't look fine—not one bit. He looked like he was in duress. He kept his gaze ahead, acting blindly to my presence. “Gray?” I called out his name, but still no response. Worried, I released Zoe and crept up to him, hauling his clothes aggressively. “You must think you're wise huh? After rendering me useless with your mistre
Logan's POVI groaned when the bedsheet was pulled away from my body forcefully,I opened my eyes and grunted when I saw that Isabella was fully dressed and was waiting for me.“When did you wake up?” I didn't hear a single noise.“An hour ago…C'mon we'll be late for our flight.” She pulled my hand.“You really want to go back home that bad?” I sighed and stood up from the bed.“I miss everyone,I don't know why you don't miss them.” She pouted and I rolled my eyes.If it was left to me I would have stayed for two months, going back meant I was going to fully resume work. Frank has been disturbing me with calls and texts,he wanted me to get my ass back to work so badly.“I'll make you breakfast!” Isabella exclaimed after successfully pushing me to the bathroom.The airport was crowded as usual, eyes were on us, some even congratulated us as we were walking. I bet it was because of the couple of clothes we were putting on,I didn't miss the beam of excitement that was on Isabella's face.
Isabella's POVI squeezed Logan's hand tightly when a ghost suddenly showed on the screen,he chuckled at my reaction and I blinked. It was a horror movie. I still didn't get how he wasn't frightened by it.“Why.. aren't you scared?” I sat down properly.“I can't.” He shrugged and filled my popcorn bowl.I looked behind us and sighed, Logan had rented the whole auditorium just to see a movie. We were out of the pack,on a romantic trip I didn't know he was serious about it until we got into the plane.“Argh!!” I screamed when the Intestine of a young girl was ripped out of her stomach.I was really going to have a hard time clearing these scenes from my memory. After we were done seeing the movie we stood up and exited the auditorium.“What's wrong?” Logan asked as we went to where the car was parked.“I don't like the ending of the movie.” I frowned,the villian are not supposed to survive while the good ones die.“I'm hungry, let's go have something to eat.” He yawned and opened the do
Logan's POVThings were now back to normal, Isabella returned back to her med school since we didn't have any Avalon running around anymore,her friend Mandy had moved in the pack since her mate was Frank which was very surprising but I was happy for them. At last Frank got someone who would teach him to be mature.“Come in.” I announced as soon as I heard several knocks on the door.Frank walked in with a beam of smile on his face,I shrugged and continued with what was in front of me.“Those that sided with the North Pack are now begging for forgiveness,they want to be in alliance with us.” Frank said.“That wouldn't be possible.” I countered.Those Alpha's were a selfish set of people,they sided with Avalon because of the things he offered them,they didn't seek the truth before they all started attacking my pack and now they want forgiveness that won't be possible.“I'll cancel all pending meetings with them then.” He replied and I nodded.“Um..can.. I ask you something?” He scratch
Isabella's POV“You look beautiful darling.” Logan whispered as he hugged me from behind.I turned around to face him and helped with his type. He pulled me close,his hands rested on my waist.“I'm nervous, Logan.” I told him.Things were moving faster between us,today was my coronation ceremony as the Luna of the pack and I was nervous,I still don't think his pack members had fully accepted me.“Hey.. you don't have to, they will love you.” He said but that still didn't make me feel better.There was a knock on the door, Logan pulled away and went to check who it was. I stood still staring at the mirror to see if anything was odd in my appearance,the red strapless gown I was wearing complimented my skin colour, or had a little touch of make up done but I could say I was looking beautiful tonight.“It's time,the people are gathered.” Logan came back inside.“Okay.” I held the hem of my dress.I curled my arm around Logan's hand and he led me outside,the curtains to the podium were rai
Logan's POVI wanted nothing else than to make her forget those memories and if I wanted to,I wouldn't go easy on her even if she begs,I was going to make every inch of her body familiar with only my touch no one else.“Lo…Logan.” She gasped as I dipped another finger in.She was still damn tight.I pulled out and she groaned,I stood up from her to pull off my boxers,she gasped when my dick sprung up and quickly sat upright. “I know right.” I smirked.She yelped when I dragged her by the feet to lay her back on the bed.“Spread your legs.” I ordered.She spread them at my words,her chest came up and down,I could see her liquid dropping on the bed. She was freaking wet for me,a smile crept on my face.“Wider.” I demanded and she obeyed.She spread them wider, giving me full entrance. I laid on top of her,my knee spreading her legs as I positioned myself in her entrance.The head of my length rubbed against her ckit and she choked out a moan. I used my fingers to spread her folds widel
Isabella's POVMy scream made Logan run inside the room,he rushed to my side and checked me worriedly,his voice shook as he spoke. I was glad that it was just a nightmare that Avalon didn't survive and never found me.“Isabella?” He called worriedly.“I'm…sorry I…had…a nightmare that Avalon came back for me.” I touched my heart which was beating faster than a drum.Logan pulled me to a hug and kissed the crook of my neck. “It's…just a dream Isabella,he can't rise from the dead.” “How about we do this?” He pulled away from me.“Do what?”“Let me take you to where his head is being hanged, so you can have a rest of mind.” He proposed.I didn't think it was necessary since it was dark already but nevertheless,I nodded in agreement and he pulled me up from the bed. “Ma..Mandy?” I took a glance at him while he was driving.“She is fine,she is staying at Frank's for the most time.” He answered and I relaxed.When we got to the pack border, Logan took my hands and we walked to the erected
Logan's POV“Logan you should get some sleep, I'll watch her tonight.” I heard Zoe's voice and I turned to glance at her.We had moved back to the pack,I had Gaius treat her at home. I didn't want to leave her alone for a second and that would be possible If she was admitted at home.Different pack rulers, elders and Alphas are trooping in to have a meeting with me, after Avalon's head was hanged in front of the pack border. It was a warning to those who were still after Isabella to breed them heirs.I knew what the people wanted. They wanted to be on the same boat with me,for fear that I was coming after them one after the other but I was too busy to attend to them.I had Frank take charge of pack matters till Isabella woke up.“Logan.” Zoe called, pulling me out of my thoughts.“I'm sorry,I was lost in thought, you were saying?” “Logan.” She sighed deeply. “Let me watch her for tonight, please get some sleep. Isabella wouldn't forgive herself if she woke up and found out that you fe
Logan's POVAfter the Alpha of the Eastern Pack called that he had Avalon and Isabella in his pack,we set out at once. I was so surprised that Alpha Gabriel could rat out Avalon but I knew he did that so I would be indebted to him and so guessed he didn't want trouble for his pack since they were just a group of healers,they weren't trained soldiers. Going against my pack would be the end of them.As Gabriel led me to the place he had settled them in,my heartbeat spiked and twisted in agony,I could feel Isabella around, and she was in pain. I told Gabriel to speed up because things might be getting out of hand, and I was right it did get out of hand.A loud growl escaped from my mouth when I saw Isabella lying naked on the bed and tied down hardly,I looked over and saw Avalon also naked.Son of a gun!I shifted to my wolf form at once and charged at him and he charged also. The battle was an intense one.I had strained my body while trying to look for Isabella so it was kind of diffic
Isabella's POVMy heart beated loudly in my ears as the sun bid its way and the moon gradually showed, soon it was dark. I thought of killing myself but I wasn't bold enough to end my life.I stood up and walked to the bed. I hit my leg hard on the wood. “Shift!!” “Please shift to a wolf!” I yelled as I kept hitting my leg on the wood.I moved from the bed to the wall of the room,I hit my hand on it so hard that I fell to the ground because of the intense pain,I heard myself growl and I saw my claws come out. I whimpered when I felt my bone breaking.I was beginning to shift.“Isabella” The door flung open and my moment was interrupted.The claws that were out had now gone back inside,I no longer felt any pain in my leg. I panted heavily and yelled at Avalon in anger,he was taken aback he sped to me but I shifted back.“What's wrong with you?” He asked while trying to touch me.“Leave me alone!” I ran to attack him.He managed to dodge my attack,I gasped when I didn't see him in fron
