Logan’s POV "Leo, I need you to find Lily." I spoke to my wolf, but he didn't respond. "I know you're in there and this isn't the time to give me an attitude. We need to find Lily. I think she's badly hurt." "So, now you care?" He growled at me. "Leo, I want you to try and reach her wolf, right now!" "I can't Logan. She's in there but I can't reach her." Leo whined. "Nothing must happen to mate." "Oh, fuck!" I muttered to myself as I ran out of Valerie’s room to the training ground. I got there and took in a deep breath, trying to locate her scent but it was pretty difficult to. It was the training ground, a lot of scents were mixed together with the smell of sweat. I looked around, trying to see if I'd find her, but I couldn't. I yelled out in frustration, I could still feel the pain in my hand. "Leo, I need you to take over and try to locate Lily, I can't smell her." "Alright, Logan." Leo replied, taking control. "If anything happens to mate, I won't forgive you." "Just fi
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Lily had so many bruises covering her body. Her ribs were evident and I saw that two were broken. She looked so small and frail. I kept staring at her until a nurse walked up to me and told me I had to leave, which made Leo furious because he hated being told what to do and also, he didn't want to leave his mate. Before I knew it, I started to shake vigorously, almost on the verge of shifting. I tried so hard to fight it, but Leo wanted to be in control. "Logan, Logan! You need to calm down" Kane said, putting his arms around my body and holding me tight. The doctor just needs to work on her, if he doesn't, she won't get better, so get a grip of yourself." "I am staying! I'm going nowhere." I growled out but Kane was already dragging me out of the room. When she was out of my view, I stopped growling and faced Kane angrily. "Don't you ever try what you did inside there with me again." I sneered. I'm your Alpha and you don't get to touch me
Lily’s POV Pain, that was all I could feel. My entire body was on fire, especially one of my hands. I wasn't expecting to wake up, because I thought my body had given up on me. I felt myself struggling to stay awake, and when I did an old man was in my face, calling me a fighter. I didn't understand what he meant until I looked at my body. I soon figured out that he was the Doctor treating me. He also explained to me where I was before he left, making me calm down because I had started to panic. I groaned as I tried to adjust myself on the bed. Memories of what happened hit me hard. Valerie tried to kill me. She wanted me gone at all costs. I heard the door open and Logan walked in but I just glared at him and looked away. He didn't say anything to me, instead he grabbed a cup and poured me some water. "Here, you need to drink water. Your throat must be dry." He said, holding the cup in my face. I acted like I didn't hear him and stared at the wall, making him growl lowly. "Dr
My head was spinning and I started to hyperventilate. The machines around me also started to beep crazily. I felt the nurse hold my face, telling me to calm down but it was like I couldn't control my body. I was having a panic attack. The nurse gently laid me on the bed before rushing out to call the doctor. He ran inside the room and the nurse started to explain to him what had happened. He held me firmly to the bed and started to speak to me. "Lily, you need to calm down. You're fine, your hand is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. You just feel that way because of your injuries and it's going to get better with time." He yelled and I started to feel my body cooperate with my mind. The Doctor continued to repeat himself and the beepings around me started to sound normal. I started to feel calm and I could hear the doctor's words perfectly. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with me? Am I going to be fine? I'm not paralyzed?" I cried out. "No, Lily. You're not paralyzed an
Lily’s POVI stared at my feet and wriggled my toes. I've not tried to walk since I had been in the park hospital and I was starting to get tired of being in one position. I felt choked up in the room, doing the same thing everyday and I wanted to just go for a walk. The truth was that, I was scared. I didn't know if my legs would cooperate with me, or I still have to wait for some days before I'm able to use them. "Enough of the hesitation, Lily." I muttered to myself and pushed myself to stand on my feet. My knees buckled and I tried to keep them straight but I was shaking, I took a step forward, forcing myself to walk when my legs failed. I was about to hit the floor when strong arms wrapped around my torso, holding me. I felt my back pressed firmly to a toned chest. I licked my lips as electricity zapped through me, making me shiver. Logan was here. I heard him take a sharp breath and we stood in that position for a minute before he pushed me roughly back on the bed. "What th
Hearing his voice so close to my ears sent shivers down my spine. I enjoyed the feeling and didn't want it to stop. I should be scared but I wasn't. I tightened my fist, trying not to moan out. All of a sudden, he grabbed my neck. "I asked you a question." He sneered.I gulped, still trying to get over the sparks that were running through my body. "I'm.. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight…I didn't mean to." Logan chuckled. "I can smell your arousal, rouge."My cheeks reddened." Tell me it doesn't affect you." I said softly, looking into his eyes. His eyes were still dilated and I could tell he was being affected."It does nothing to me and if you're not careful, you'll have males running after you just to get a taste and I promise you, I won't stop them." He replied with a straight face, stepping away from me like I have a disease. "Trying to attack the Alpha of the park is a very big offense and you can get killed for doing that but since you didn't know about this rule, I'll l
I trashed around, screaming as he put me on his bed. "No no, let me go. Someone, please help me. Please!" I cried out. Logan climbed the bed, stalking towards me and I tried to run away but he grabbed my legs, spreading them apart before he laid on me. He was fully on top of me. I continued to trash around, blindly, hitting him on his chest and face. He held my hands, putting it over my head and keeping it in place with one of his hands. His second hand trailed up my leg, to my thighs and I started to squirm out of his hold. He growled loudly, barring his teeth at me and I looked into his eyes to see that it was pitch black."No, no. Please don't do this. Please." I cried out. "You were aroused for me minutes ago, I could smell the warmth that had pooled in your core. You clearly wanted this." Logan replied, a sick smile on his face. "That was a mistake. It wasn't supposed to happen. I don't want this anymore so please stop. Don't do this to me." I replied, sniffing. "Too bad
Logan’s POVI stood outside my room for a moment trying to calm myself and my wolf down but it wasn't working. "I need to go for a run." I muttered to myself trying to force my body to leave where it was and head to the woods but it was like it had a mind of its own. "Don't leave mate, Go back to her." My wolf said, panting heavily. "I can't, Leo. You almost took control and marked her. I can't have you doing that.""Don't put the blame on me alone. You also wanted it badly just as I did." Leo growled. I didn't say anything because he said the truth. Lily smelt so fucking good and all I wanted to do was sink my teeth into her soft skin. I shook my head, getting the idea out of my head and ran out to the woods. I didn't trust myself to stand there for a long time without breaking down the door and claiming her. "Argh! She's a rouge. I'll never claim her as mine." I roared out as I shifted into my wolf. The shift was very fast, my body changing from having two legs to four. Imm
The Lycan King lifted me effortlessly back into his arms, staring down at me as if waiting for some kind of apology or a thank you. I gave him neither. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest and turned my face away. I had a thousand things to say but I’d rather stay silent.“Exactly what I thought,” he muttered after a pause.He turned to leave, carrying me like a ragdoll, when a familiar voice filled the air.“Stop right there!” Logan yelled. “You know the rules,” he barked, stepping forward. “You can’t just take a pack member without the Alpha’s permission. And also, she’s not just anyone, she’s my true mate. You can’t separate us. She belongs to me, and I won’t let you walk away with her!”His voice shook, but whether it was from fear or anger, I couldn’t tell and it wasn’t like I did care.Instead, I laughed.A bitter, broken, pained laugh that echoed through the field and made heads turn. Everyone stared like I’d finally lost my mind.“Shut up, you lying bastard!” I snapped, n
“Take who away?” I asked, stepping back instinctively. This had to be some kind of joke. Maybe he’d pull out a red nose and announce it was all a prank. But the hard line of his jaw and the way his eyes didn’t waver told me he was dead serious.“I won’t say it again, wolf. I didn’t come all this way for an argument. I don’t want to be here any more than you want me here. So make this easy and come along quietly. Don’t make a scene.” The Lycan King’s voice was flat, almost bored.He turned his back on me, clearly expecting I’d fall in line like some obedient pet. But I stayed right where I was, my feet glued to the floor. He hadn’t explained anything to me and he thinks he can just command me? How did I supposedly summon him? And now he expected me to follow him blindly? What kind of backwards kidnapping method was this?“Now,” he said over his shoulder. A hint of frustration showing on his face. “No,” I said, loud and clear, keeping my gaze locked with his.His eyes narrowed dangero
“Why stress that little head of yours trying to figure things out?” the man said, folding his arms across his chest, his biceps bulging beneath his shirt. “Just ask. I’m right here. Ready to explain anything you want to know.”I blinked and shook my head, trying to focus. Trying to stop staring at him like some starstruck fool.Get it together, Lily.“Who are you?” I asked, voice firmer now. “And how do you know me?”He smiled. Then, with slow, confident steps, he backed away like he was preparing for something dramatic. And when he spoke, his voice echoed with power.“I am the Lycan King. The Alpha of Alphas. The one no one dares to cross without paying the price. The protector of those who call out in need.”I stared at him, stunned.The Lycan King?No. It couldn’t be.There were many Alphas across the world. Dozens of packs. But only one Lycan King. One ruler above all others. And he was standing right in front of me.No wonder Logan couldn’t match him. No wonder the Alpha tone did
Bodies.That was all I saw when I stepped outside. Logan’s soldiers were scattered across the ground, limbs twisted at unnatural angles, their eyes wide open in death or shock, I couldn’t tell. A cold chill ran through me as I scanned the bloodied bodies, my heart racing as I searched for him.Logan.Damn this mate bond. Even after everything, my heart still reached out for him, aching with worry I didn’t want to feel. I moved through the bodies, hoping someone could explain what the hell was going on.Then I turned a corner… and froze.He stood there.A man I had never seen before, standing tall and deadly in front of a bloodied and injured Logan. My breath caught. He was… beautiful. Beautiful and terrifying. His eyes were mismatched. One a piercing icy blue, the other burning red like fire. And his body. God, it was like stone. Muscles thicker than Logan’s, veins visible, and tattoos etched into every inch of exposed skin.He wore a black singlet and combat trousers, his arms loose
Valerie looked like she was thinking it over for a moment, her eyes narrowing.“Why should I let you escape,” she said coldly, “when I can just kill you and make sure no one ever finds out?”She took a step closer, voice low and cruel.“I want Logan all to myself. I don’t like the idea of you being out there, alive. If you’re dead, that’s better for me. I wouldn’t have to worry about you returning while having some silly ideas in your head, thinking you have Logan back. ”I stared back, trying to stay calm.“You have my word,” I said quietly. “I’ll never come back. Not after how I’ve been treated. Logan already made it clear in so many ways that we can’t be together and also, I won’t beg anyone who has rejected me. I won’t stay where I’m not wanted—”Before I could finish, a loud horn blasted through the air and the sound shook the walls, loud enough to make the windows rattle. I froze, confused. What the hell was that?I turned back to Valerie but her face had gone pale, white as sn
Logan gave me one last glare before storming out of the room.For a second, I thought he’d come at me, hit me, grab me, or just do something. But he didn’t. He just walked out, fists clenched, jaw tight.Guess I hurt his pride. And I loved it. I tried to hold back a smile, but it was almost impossible. I was still aching from what just happened, but I pushed the pain to the back of my mind. This wasn’t the time to dwell on it.Then I remembered. I wasn’t alone.Valerie was still in the room with me. And she was pissed.She hadn’t liked how things played out. Not one bit. And now, I was the perfect target for her anger. Worst part? I was chained up, and there was no one here to stop her. I was at her mercy. She didn’t waste time.She dropped to the ground and crawled toward me, her claws out, eyes wild with rage. I scooted back fast, barely dodging the swipe aimed at my face. It was so close. She let out a snarl and lunged again, but this time I raised my leg and kicked her hard.
My wolf howled inside me, scratching at my insides, begging to be let out. Her pain was sharp, raw, and unbearable. But I didn’t let her out. I built a wall and forced her down.Valerie was nearly half-naked now, panting and moaning as Logan trailed soft kisses down her neck and across her chest. He wasn’t doing this out of passion, he was doing it to break me and it was working.But I wouldn’t let him see that.I cleared my throat, sharp and loud enough to cut through their moment.“You really should work on your moaning, Valerie,” I said dryly. “You sound ridiculous. Which explains why Logan Isn't even hard for you. I mean, are you sure you’re actually sexually appealing to him?”Logan’s growl ripped through the room, deafening and deadly. I quickly covered my ears, feeling the full force of his rage behind it. It was a warning. A loud one.He wanted me to shut up but I wasn’t done yet. It takes two to play.“Easy, tiger,” I said, my voice sharp as I stared at him. “You know I’m not
I was conscious, but I couldn’t move. No matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t respond. Even my wolf was silent, still and unresponsive.I felt everything, though. I knew when we reached the pack grounds. I knew when Logan carried me into his quarters, then into his room. I felt the cold bite of heavy chains as he tied me to his bedpost. Typical Logan. This was exactly what he did the last time before I escaped.I also heard the door slam shut as he left.For a while, I just laid there, completely still. I didn’t think about anything. My mind was blank and numb. I didn’t know how long I stayed like that before I eventually drifted off to sleep.I jolted awake to the sound of voices. Loud, angry , and close.I blinked and looked around, confused at first. The voices were coming from across the room. Logan and Valerie were arguing. I closed my eyes again, shaking my head before shifting into a more comfortable position.The fuzziness in my head was gone. I didn’t feel dizzy anymore
“Shift!” Logan barked, his voice full of command and my wolf obeyed instantly.“Why did you do that?” I snapped at her, angry that she gave in so easily. But she only whimpered in response.I rolled my eyes at her weakness, but I couldn’t blame her. She was still trying to heal and still learning how to live with being rejected.“Let go of me!” I snapped at Logan. He had stopped choking me, but his hand was still wrapped around my neck, holding me up like I weighed nothing. It was uncomfortable, painful even, and I needed him to let me down.“You do nothing without my permission,” he growled, his eyes burning with fury. “You are mine! I own you, and you will obey every order I give you!”“I’m not yours!” I screamed back, my voice filled with rage. “Stop being delusional, you fucking freak! We’re not mates anymore! You rejected me or you can’t remember? It’s over. Your mate is back at your pack, so go run to her and leave me the hell alone!”Spit flew from my mouth as I shouted, every
