FAZER LOGINLOGAN'S POV I stormed out of the healer's quarters, crushing the paper in my hands. The symbol of disrespect that had just been sent to me. A deadline.How dare they choose a date without my permission?Kieran followed me quietly, pushing the door open when we arrived at my fortress. I headed to my office.“This should be against the law!” I growled immediately as we stepped into my office. “This should not be possible!” Kieran's head dropped low. “Alpha, you need to calm down.” My body was shaking, not from fear but fury. I wanted to march down to their territory and chop off their fingers for daring to send such a message. My wolf prowled within me. Like a wounded animal in a cage. “I am an Alpha,” I snapped at Kieran. “I can make decisions myself.” He nodded quickly, “Yes Alpha.” “Is there no way to stop this?” His eyes held mine briefly. “In all honesty, I don't think you can do anything.”I balled my hands into fists to avoid punching him for being blunt about it. He sho
BIANCA'S POV.“The bleeding won't stop.” The young woman said frantically as her eyes dashed all around the healing tent.“Sit down and hold her.” I instructed her. This was the third burn this week and it was beginning to get me worried. She had said her daughter played with fire but it shouldn't bleed as much as it did.The girl's eyes were wide open as she stared at the blood, her lips trembling. I picked up a wet towel and cleaned the blood gently. The wound wasn't as bad as I imagined. I let out the breath I'd held since she stepped in with the child.“It stopped.” The mother cried, her eyes glistening with tears. I smiled at her and got to putting the bandage on the little girl. That was a relief. It would have been worse if she didn't come in on time. The bond pulsated beneath my skin like an uninvited guest. I closed my eyes and tried to push it down. There was a knock at the door before it could subside. I dropped the bandage carefully and walked to open the door. Alpha
LOGAN'S POV.Bang! Bang! Bang!Someone knocked on my door with so much pressure and urgency. My wolf let out a growl as I jumped out of bed, every nerve in me wide awake, I tightened my pants and opened the door, the day had barely begun, judging by the darkness that hung outside.Why was someone at my door this early?Kieran bowed as my face came into view, his eyes dropping to the ground immediately.“I bring news, Alpha.” Bad news, I could instantly tell. “What's wrong?” Kieran raised up his head gently. Only then did I notice the plaque in his left hand. The one the council sent each time there was a meeting. “The Council? Are they…..?” I spat, wishing he would say otherwise. Instead, he nodded, still unable to meet my eyes.“They called for a meeting,” his voice was hoarse and I hated how he avoided my eyes. It only meant trouble. “I thought they would wait but they insist it is of great importance and are already seated at the council room.My hand gripped the door hard as I
BIANCA'S POV I winced as the steam from the cauldron spread across my face, slightly stinging. “Oh, Moon goddess.” The scent of the last herb I prepared filled the room as I lifted the cover of the cauldron. A smile spread across my face. After a few days, I had finally prepared a herb to heal fever in children. All they needed was a small portion. “Did you hear?” A voice whispered outside. I dropped the cover quietly and listened. If there was one thing I had learnt since I arrived. It was the fact that nothing stayed a secret in this pack.The maids knew more than they should and most of the information I had been able to gather had been from their gossip.“What is that?” Another voice replied. The breeze blew the flap at the entrance of the door, revealing two young ladies in the maid's uniform. They had big bowls in their hands. “Word has it the Alpha's mark flickered in the garden.” I gasped as I covered my mouth. That had happened in the absence of the maids when I was a
LOGAN'S POV.“There's been an update on the borders.” Elder Liam said, rising to his feet.Six elders and my Beta. Three days after the last gathering, I was sitting cross legged, my arms sprawled over the wooden chair with a patience that was thinning out.There had better be. I had enough of the conversations that led nowhere.He glanced at the men at the table before facing me. “We've put the last instruction you gave into work and more men have been stationed at the borders.” I nodded for him to continue. That couldn't be all. I didn't leave a bunch of paper work just to be told they had obeyed me.“Also,” he continued hesitantly, his throat bobbing as he swallowed. “A thief was caught.” I leaned forward, my face hardening. If a thief was caught, it meant the guards were slacking.“A thief?” I asked. “Yes, Alpha.”He replied.Silence settled over the table as they all glanced down. I shook my head, “Bring him in.”The door opened as the guards pushed him in. He fell to the gro
BIANCA'S POV. My hands clasped over my mouth as I stared at the flowers scattered on the floor in the healing wing.Rosethorn.One of the most expensive and hardest herbs to harvest and brew. It had taken me hours to find the flowers to make them in the forest on the outskirts of the pack.My hands still hurt from separating them from the thorns despite the careful use of a knife and now they were all scattered on the floor.The flowers I had painstakingly separated from the thorns. I sucked in a slow breath through my nose, fighting the urge to scream. Beside the basket was a maid I didn't know. She narrowed her eyes at me as I stepped in, clenching my fists.“Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?” she asked, tucking her hair behind her ears.“What happened here?” My voice came out shakier than I had intended. She wasn't supposed to be in here. The maids didn't bring me food. I had eaten at the Alpha's table for the past few days. I didn't allow them in and of all days to st
