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
Azalea's POVMy eyes followed Grey's movement as he paced around sweating like someone who had just lost a child. I whispered to Henry was standing by if he knew what was wrong because Grey suddenly just called and asked for me to come over.“Azalea!” Grey matched to me before Henry could answer.“Um…you are acting strange honey.” I said in a low tone.“Has August been doing anything shady? Has he been meeting anyone!!” Grey yelled at my face and I flinched.“I think you need to calm down,I don't even know what your m are talking about.” I retorted.Grey saw me panicked,he then went to sit down. He kept tapping his feet on the ground in a dangerous manner before looking at me.“I just lost my goods and my money.” He looked at me painfully.It was then I got it,he was angry because of the wolfsbane my dad and August burnt. I heard it cost a lot of money.But why was he asking about August in that manner?Is he suspecting him?“Oh…I'm so sorry.” I faked sympathy.“You don't…know how har
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
Isabella's POV“We are here.” Logan announced as we walked inside Zoe's apartment.We were having breakfast when a call suddenly came in and Logan Informed me that Zoe just found out something important about my bloodline and origin.I was so excited to the point that I didn't finish eating even though I was hungry. Zoe stood up and pulled me to a hug,I noticed Emma waving at me in the corner,I waved at her back.“Good to see you Luna.” Zoe greeted me as she pulled away from me.“Good to see you too.” I greeted her.While Zoe was busy greeting Logan,I walked up to Emma and pulled her to a hug.“I missed you.” She murmured amidst the hug.“Me too.” I whispered.“Emma gets the guest some refreshments.” Zoe ordered.Emma pulled away and went to carry out her mother's instruction,I smiled at Zoe and went to sit next to Logan whose legs were crossed and waited for Zoe to start the conversation.“You wouldn't believe what I found and how I found it.” Zoe's eyes bounced from me to Logan.“Is
Logan's POVMy mouth widened in shock and surprise when Isabella's wolf form,it was a big white wolf which was an incredible sight to behold. I wasn't expecting it ,I mean no one was expecting that she would turn into a wolf considering the fact that she was a hybrid.“Shit!” I muttered when Isabella jumped down the window.I leaped down and my wolf tugged that I should let him take over, seeing how fast Isabella was. I couldn't chase her. I nodded and allowed him. I shifted and chased Isabella all the way down to a river bank separating our pack from another pack.She growled at me when the twig I stepped on snapped,I shifted back to my human form so she could see that it was me and I meant no harm.“Isabella shift.” I said calmly as I tried to approach her.“Isabella?” I called again.She snarled at me and I frowned,she shouldn't be reacting like that. She wanted to take a leap and run into the water,I growled at her making her freeze in the spot.“ISABELLA SHIFT NOW!!” I used my Al
Isabella's POVI didn't know how to go about it,my palm was sweating and I kept wiping it clean. Logan hadn't returned from work because of the meeting he was having with the elders and according to what Vanessa said the meeting would determine the fate of her father.For someone who had been looking for every means to unite with her parents, I can say I can relate with Vanessa's pain of not wanting to lose her father.I stood at the front door contemplating whether to leave the house and go to the meeting or not. After I was so sure my plan would work,I stepped outside but I was soon blocked by one of Logan's men.“Where did you come from!” I was startled.I gaped at the hefty man standing in front of me,he was so tall and muscular,I looked around to see if he was the only one.“I'm sorry if I caught you by surprise Luna.” He bowed.“I have to see Logan,can you take me to him?” “I have orders not to let you leave the house ma'am.” He replied calmly.“It's important.” I tapped my fee
Vanessa's POVI was a person trained to follow principles and doctrines,my father was the only relative I had and the only one who had ever understood me. He believed or I should say we believe the strong should be the one to to rule and take positions in pack.When I first found out that Logan had found his mate,I was disheartened and saddened I always loved Logan from when we were young and I believed the feeling was mutual until recently. My father had also believed and had always told me that I was meant to be Luna, that our bloodline was meant to take charge as the next Alpha of the pack.I never knew him to be a backstabber or someone that would endanger the lives of the pack members.“I will give you five minutes to talk some sense to him.” Logan said and left the cell.I wiped the tears that had trickled down my eyes,I went closer to the iron bars. My dad stood up from the door weakly and came to the iron.“Why?” My voice broke.“I…did…it for you.” He muttered and I slammed m
