Azalea's POVI couldn't stop sneezing, August must have heard my noise because he came knocking I the midnight,I was angry at the both of them,he and my dad. I hated the fact that they were being over protective, the only way we can stand a chance against Grey was by staying close with him.And that's where I come in now they want me out of the equation, what now do they expect me to do?Sit at home and watch TV?“What?” I frowned at August when I opened the door.“You've gotten a cold, you have to go to the hospital.” He answered not minding my sassyness.“I don't want to, you know how much I hate hospitals.”August ignored my reproach and entered the room,he waved for me to come and sit. I rolled my eyes and went to sit he brought out some pills for me to use.“Are you still angry?” He asked as he gave me a glass of water.“Do I have a choice? Apparently you both have concluded that I'm a burden.” I taunted.“Azalea.” He warned.I took the pills and swallow the water,my throat burn
Grey's POVMy blood drooled over my hand,I looked at the wall in anger there was the stain if my blood on it but that didn't move me,I growled loudly before marching to seat.Stupid August!I have everything planned out until when I received August's call,and the son of a gun wouldn't let me talk to her,the mating ceremony wasn't around the corner meaning she had like some few weeks to stay with me and some few weeks for me to convince her that she was mine.Or did I do anything to offend her? I doubt that.The last time I saw her she was looking radiant and I'm an hundred percent sure that I didn't do anything to offend her.Then why on earth will August not want her near me?A knock on the door made me stop thinking,I stood up and went to see who it was.“What the heck do you want!” I growled at the new butler I had just hired.“I'm sorry sir for coming at a wrong time but I wanted to inform you that lunch is served sir.” His lips trembled as he spoke.“I don't have apetite.” I ans
Azalea's POVAugust wasn't around,he had a meeting with some of his pack members,the elders specifically demanded why he had postponed the mating ceremony.I was alone in his quarters almost biting my fingers off contemplating whether to go to Grey or not. It wasn't like I was desperate to know what he wanted to say about August because I knew everything that comes out of Grey was lies.After I had made my decision,I left the house in a hurry. I planned on getting back to the house before August arrives.The restaurant Grey booked was a private one and expensive,I was surprised to see that he rented it out for the entire night. I had a tiny change of heart about his attitude at that point but my wolf warned me against my emotions.The only one for us was August.From where I was standing I could see Grey sitting casually as he gazed outside like he was in deep thought.“Let's get this over with.” I whispered as I walked over.The sound of my heels diverted his attention,he stood up fr
August's POV“You did what!” I growled at Azalea.She stepped back, cowering in fear my wolf was already on the edge at the fact that she went behind my back to meet Grey. But Azalea had to make things worse by accepting Grey's proposal to turn against me.The worst part and painful was she told him that she loved him all in the name of revenge.“August…you…need to calm down.” Azalea whimpered.I shut my eyes tightly trying to calm my wolf down,I reopened them and saw Azalea standing like a scary cat. She had never seen me acting this way.“I’m sorry.” I whispered.“Me too,but we can't keep playing safe ... .we need to take greater risks and steps.” Azalea said before she started sobbing.I watched as Azalea bent down and broke into tears,my heart clenched when I saw her remorseful state. I bent down to persuade her to stop crying but the tears flowed down heavily when I did.“Azalea.. I'm sorry.” I confessed.It was wrong for me to act that way,but my anger clouded my thinking.“I…w
August's POVThe guy's family wasn't staying in any of the werewolf packs, he was staying in the human territory,my men were already there waiting for me. “Alpha August.” They bowed immediately and I stepped down from the car.“Where are they?” I asked the one I put in charge.“Over there.” He pointed to one of the apartments in the tall building.“Let's go then.” I followed them.The building showed the financial state of the guy's family. What I still didn't understand was why they, being werewolves, would want to live amongst humans.My men knocked on the door and the door opened revealing an old woman who was almost bent over.“Who…are you?” She asked in a very low voice.I looked away from her to the one beside me and whispered. “I thought you said his family?” “Yes sir,we are in the correct building.” He looked up to confirm the number again before nodding at me.He came closer to me and asked the old woman. “Is this where Jack lives ma'am?” He asked her.“Are.. you one of his
Azalea's POVI take back every word of not wanting to associate myself with people or to keep friends. Meeting Zoe personally and having conversations with her shows me that she really is a good person.Since then we've bonded and kept tabs in eachother, August himself was surprised at our closeness, which he didn't counter.“So what are you up to?” August asked me as he served the pancake.“Going to Zoe's.” I answered, spreading the mayonnaise on my bread.“But before that am I likely go to Grey's palace,he said something about wanting to see me.” At my words, August slammed the plates on the table.I whispered sorry to him softly before taking a bite on my bread,I watched as he took his seat with a deep scowl on his face.“Don't go there Azalea.” He warned. “Whatever you want to discuss,do it on phone.” He said sternly,not sparing me a glance.“What if he gets suspicious and later find out that I was lying to him.” Grey was a smart person avoiding him will just prove my words otherw
Azalea's POVI sent multiple of pictures to August as Zoe and I planned on entering,she said she found out about the house one day when she stumbled on Grey and Sebastian conversation.She said something about Grey and I coming here but Grey was the only one who entered.“Shouldn't we wait for Alpha August?” Zoe glanced at me when we were in the front of the door.I tapped my feet slightly on the floor,my curiousity was getting the best of me at that moment.“Your curiosity is getting into you right?” Zoe said.“We are going in.” I told her before pulling out my hair pin.I bent down and tried to work my way Into thelock,Zoe bent down also but this time she just watched with keen interest on what I was doing.The lock clicked and I smiled, Zoe gasped when I opened the door. I was about to step my foot Inside but she pulled me back.“What if Grey is inside?” She asked.I looked past her to the back but there wasn't a car around, there might be possibility that he was Inside the house
August's POV“This can only be the confirmation of what's going on.” I paused and looked at the twinkling pairs of eyes.“Apparently Chloe was Grey's mate.” I told them and they gasped.Zoe was fazed. I took the picture frames from Azalea and returned it back,my instinct kicked in warning me that Grey or someone else might be coming here.“We have to go.” I stood up from the bed to the bathroom.A series of coughs left my mouth when I entered. After picking the air freshener I bolted out and came outside, Azalea and Chloe were already standing, their eyes landing on the bottle in my hand.“To clear our scent.” I told them. “Grey knows all three of us, so he can tell that we came here and that wouldn't be good for any of us.” I finished talking and went ahead to spray the room.It was when we had successfully left Grey and Chloe's supposed house and we were in the car that I got to tell them about Jack and the evidence we found at his place.Zoe didn't keep her cool any longer. She wep
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
Isabella's POVI kept on crying as Avalon forced me Into the boat,I was so scared about Logan I hope he didn't suffer much Injuries. Avalon had hit him seriously with his car when he was chasing after us.“You should stop crying,I hate tears.” Avalon said and I turned to glare at him.“He is going to find me in no time, it's not too late to end your shit!” I flared up.“That he marks you doesn't mean you belong to him,he will get worn out and choose another mate when he doesn't find us.” He replied calmly.I looked away from him to the moving waters,and in a moment I doubted Logan's love for me, if he would really get tired of searching for me and choose another.“Isabella.” Avalon called softly and draped his Jacket on my shoulder.“Can't…you accept me?” He bent down in front of me and stared into my eyes.“I.. can't.” I blinked.“Why?” He reached for my face and touched my chin.“It's because I don't love you.” I said coldly.His hand froze midway and he clenched his fist,I shut my
Logan's POVI had my men surround the area of the house,Dan described where Avalon might me. I sped Inside furiously attacking all the men that threw themselves at me. I trailed Isabella's scent down the basement,my heart leaped as I got nearer to the room.I knocked down the door and as I did I dodged a punch that was almost thrown in my face.“Al...pha!” It was Vanessa.I growled at her and she stepped back in fear,she fell to the ground and bowed her head. I looked around in hope to see Isabella in the room but unfortunately I didn't see her,I growled in pain.“He. took…her.” I heard someone say and I looked to see who it was.“Mandy?” “Avalon took her some minutes ago,it was like he knew you were coming.” She added.I clenched my fist and turned to look at Vanessa one more time.I wished I could just end her but I couldn't for unknown reasons.Vanessa and Mandy are in the building,get them out safely. I'm going after Avalon.’ I sent a mindlink to Frank.'On it.’ He replied and en
Isabella's POV“You.. should have told me…the truth.” Mandy sobbed on my shoulders.I was relieved that she was still alive, Avalon had locked the three of us up, Vanessa,Mandy and I. “I wish for that too, but I couldn't, Logan threatened to hurt you.” “I never knew Mr Avalon was this kind of person,one would have thought Mr Logan was a wicked person.” Mandy said and Vanessa growled in a low voice.“She…is…scary.” Mandy said and I chuckled.That was the first impression I had of Vanessa surprised how Mandy shared the same opinion with me.“We need to find a way to escape.” Vanessa stood up from the ground and walked to the window.“If we can break through or something?” Mandy added.We heard the door knob rattle and our eyes darted to the lock,the door finally opened and Avalon with his men walked in.“Avalon.” I gritted my teeth.“Honey, you need to eat something.” He said and walked slowly to me.Vanessa was quick and blocked him from coming closer to me,But that made Avalon angr
Logan's POVI growled loudly which resonated with the sound of the thunder that was striking,the whole building shook. I snarled at Frank as I tried to break the chains that they used to tie me down.“I want my mate!” I yelled bitterly.I should have known when she hugged me, kissed me and thanked me for everything. I should have held her down and pressed her for her motive but I was too blind to see that it was her saying farewell.I lost it when Brown came to ask Me if I had really given Vanessa the permission to escort Isabella to the house,it was then I connected the dots together but it was too late they had already gone far,I chased after them but I was too late.I swear that when I get Isabella back safely,I would behead Vanessa for betraying me.“LET ME OUT FRANK, I'M YOUR ALPHA!!” I ordered.“Well I don't need an Alpha who is going to kill all his pack members before nightfall, Poor Brown might not be able to use his legs again because of what you did to him!!” Frank yelled a

Isabella's POVClaws came out of my hands as I watched the video of Mandy who was strapped to a chair,her face was red and swollen . I couldn't believe Avalon would stoop so low to get to me.He had kidnapped her and his only demand that he wouldn't kill her was if I surrender myself and walk straight into his pack.The screen turned off and I looked at who interrupted.“You are bleeding.” Logan pointed to my hand.I looked at where he pointed,I clench my hand so tightly that my claws pierce into my skin. Logan sighed and went to his desk he Brighton out his handkerchief and came to clean my blood.“We'll get her back,I promise.”“He…is.. going to kill her,if I don't go to him.” I muttered.The last thing I wanted was Mandy dying because of me,I would never forgive myself.“My men are out there, we'll launch a secret attack on his pack and get her out safely.” Logan said.Logan's assurance didn't still make me feel relieved, launching an attack would make Avalon kill Mandy without hesi
