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
Logan’s POV.I heard something move behind me and I cocked my head to the side, crouching and ready to lunge at the threat. "Come out right now!" I growled, my claws protruding. Kane walks out, putting his hands up and bending his neck in submission, showing that he's not a threat and also means no harm. "Were you trying to sneak up to me?" I asked, sarcastically "So you can rip my head off? Nah." He chuckled, throwing a pair of shorts at me. "I've been trying to mindlink you, but you blocked me out." "Apparently, you blocked everyone out because Valerie asked about you, said you weren't responding to her and as the good Beta that I am, I came to check if you're good." "Thanks man, I'm good." I replied, putting the shorts on. "How long have you been here? The boys on patrol said you had come back from your run a long time ago." "Not for long, I guess." I replied, clearing my throat and walking back into the castle. The truth was that I had lost track of time and didn't know h
Lily’s POV I groaned as I stretched my body, feeling sore all over. "I shouldn't have slept on the floor." I thought to myself as I tried to massage my stiff shoulders. I slowly rose up and went into the bathroom to put on some clothes. I didn't want Logan to walk in and see me stark naked. I didn't have a proper look at my bathroom yesterday because of how tired I was but now that I can, I liked what I saw. It is very small and cozy and I loved the way everything was arranged. It brought a smile to my face. Just next to it, there was a small demarcation and I wondered why there was such a space. I moved closer to check it out and I let out a soft gasp. It was a space for clothes. I went through it to realize they were all in my size. I checked the small cupboards to see underwear and socks. I've never had that much clothes before and I smiled happily as I grabbed a dress to wear.After having my bath, I tried to tame my wild hair by brushing it up to a bun, glad that my bruises
Lily’s POVI stayed in front of the kitchen doors for a while, wondering why Logan told me not to leave the kitchen. He looked serious saying it and I decided to listen to him and not leave until he came to get me himself. I didn't want to piss him off. I opened the door to see the kitchen bustling with quite a number of servants busy with different things and brushing past each other. The kitchen was very busy unlike the last time I was here. I didn't know what to do or where to go so I just watched everyone do their thing. "Hey, you! Why aren't you doing anything?" An old woman who looked like the head cook asked me. I was about to respond when she pointed her spatula at me. "There's a lot to do today and the Alpha’s visitors are already here. We need to feed them immediately." "Come and stir these eggs together and fry them." She added before turning to another servant, telling her to fry the chicken well. I guessed right, she was the head cook. I furrowed my eyebrows together
Lily's POVEveryone in the kitchen gasped as soon as Valerie mentioned that I would be serving the Alpha’s cousin. "That won't be possible, Luna. I don't think she'll be able to do that." Avery said to Valerie. "The Alpha gave me an order to make sure I'm the one that gets to serve his cousin. I'd be going against his orders if you decide to assign someone else to do it." Valerie scoffed. "You worry too much, Avery. I'm just coming from Logan's study and he told me to be in charge here. Relax, you won't be going against his orders." "As for you." She said, pointing at me again. "You'll be serving the Alpha’s cousin just like I said earlier." "I will not be doing that." I said firmly. Logan had told me not to leave the kitchen no matter what and there's no way I'd listen to this bitch trying to make me get on his bad side. "I'm your Luna! The true mate of the Alpha. When I order you to do something, you do it!" Valerie growled out, her wolf almost coming out. "Just do as she wa
Logan’s PovFrom the moment Lily walked into the dining hall, all I felt was anger. I had warned her not to leave the kitchen and I didn't know what I was thinking, expecting that she would listen to me. I was so angry that I didn't want to see her face. She wasn't supposed to reveal herself to the park members yet. To make matters worse, she walked all the way to Caleb's table, serving him his food.I had told Avery to make sure she's the one that serves Caleb his food, not the female servants and definitely not Lily. Caleb was the main reason I had told Lily to stay in the kitchen. It was the only safe space I could think of where Caleb's prying eyes wouldn't reach. I knew the purpose of his visit was because he knew that I had found my mate and she was a rogue. How the information got to him, I didn't know because we don't stay in the same park and he wasn't here when I found Lily. Leo wasn't happy that I ignored the fact that Lily was in the hall with us but I wasn't ready to
Lily’s POV My body was on fire and I didn't know why. It all started from when Caleb had his arms wrapped around my waist, the touch felt wrong and revolting. I closed my eyes to get rid of the disgusting sensation I was feeling but by the time I opened it, Logan had pinned Caleb on the table. I thought he didn't care but why did he attack him? He confuses me a lot. I couldn't pay attention to what they were saying because of the pain I started to feel but I could hear whimpering sounds, not knowing that it was coming from me. "Was it because Caleb touched me that I'm feeling this much pain? Or, what's going on?" I thought to myself. I couldn't bear it anymore and walked up to Logan, begging him to let go of Caleb to see if he'd notice that something was off with me. He didn't let go of him the first time and after telling me to take me out of the dining hall must have noticed something was wrong because the next thing he did was lift me up and run out of the hall. I felt my bac
Instead of fear, I felt something else. My eyes went to his face, his body. He looked too good, too powerful and I felt my cheeks heat up.What the hell was wrong with me? This man could kill me, infact, it looks like he wants to kill me and I was checking him out? I must be crazy. “Why don’t you fear me?” he asked, voice low and dangerous. “Is that another power of yours? No one talks back to the Lycan King!”I rolled my eyes. “It’s not like I’m not scared of you. I just… I don’t know. I’ve spent most of my life afraid of everything. Hiding and begging. As a rogue, that’s the lifestyle. Maybe I’m broken or maybe I’ve lost my mind. Who knows?”“I heard the mate bond can mess with someone when they’re away from their mate. Maybe that’s what’s happening to me.”I laughed bitterly, sounding a little crazy.“I am to be feared!” he growled. “You have to fear me!”Then, without touching me, he raised me into the air and slammed me against the headboard. Pain shot through my back, and I let
This place was messed up. How the hell did a bathroom suddenly turn into a room?I stood in shock, staring at the door I had just opened. I was sure Simeon told me the bathroom was right through here. He said all I needed to do was open the connecting door and yet… this was the only door in the room.I was confused, then got irritated.I had looked forward to that bath. I desperately needed it, glad I could finally get all the dirt off my body but now this jerk standing in front of me had ruined everything.“I don’t know what you’re doing here or what you’re looking for, but you just interrupted me and I need to take my bath. It is very important to me. So whatever you’ve done to this room, you better fix it. Because I heard this was supposed to be a bathroom.”He didn’t budge. Just stared at me with that unreadable look before speaking, voice gruff and cold. “We need to talk. Now.”I let out a dry laugh. “No, no, no. Absolutely not. We’re not talking. I’m going to bathe, I’m going t
“By the way, Simeon…” I said, clearing my throat. “I won’t be staying here long. I have plans to return to where I was before the Lycan King kidnapped me.”“I’d rather call it saving your life, not kidnapping,” he responded calmly. “And besides, why would you want to return to a pack that treated you horribly and a mate who rejected you? Why not stay here, where you’ll be safe and treated well?”I stopped walking, caught off guard by his words.How did he know that? And why did he speak like someone much older than his age?Before I could even ask, he opened yet another door, this one leading to a long hallway.“And yes, before you ask,” he said, glancing back at me with a knowing look, “everyone already knows what happened. News spreads really fast around here. You really can’t hide things in this place.”“Everyone? What do you mean by everyone?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “There are people in this place? How come I haven’t seen any?”Simeon let out a small laugh. “There’s more to t
Someone was shaking me.I swatted the person’s arm away, annoyed that my sleep was being disturbed, but they were persistent, continuing to jostle me with light taps.“I just want to sleep,” I mumbled, frowning. “Leave me alone.”“You need to wake up, miss. It’s already getting dark,” a small voice responded, still tapping my arm.That definitely wasn’t the voice of the Lycan King.I opened my eyes slowly and sat up, rubbing the sleep from them. A petite boy stood before me, staring with wide, curious eyes that looked too big for his face but from his soft features, I could tell he was still quite young.Who was he? How did he get in here? “Sleeping on the floor for the rest of the night isn’t the best idea,” he said, offering a gentle smile. “It gets really cold here at night.”I returned the smile weakly, rubbing the back of my neck, suddenly aware of how disheveled I must’ve looked. I had been so exhausted from everything that had happened earlier, I didn’t even realize when I’d d
What was happening?I turned my head slowly toward the Lycan King.He was staring at me, his eyes pitch black. Was he doing this? Was he controlling me again? And then, pain. Sharp, excruciating pain. That’s what I felt. It felt like something was tearing my wolf away from my body, like we were being forcefully separated. My wolf and I howled together, screaming in unison, both terrified.The pain lasted about a minute—one long, torturous minute of shaking, screaming, and burning from the inside out.And then I collapsed.When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t inside my wolf. I was staring at her.She was standing in front of me, her eyes filled with pain and confusion, mirroring mine.Was I… dead?How could she be here, separate from me when I hadn’t even shifted?She stepped closer and rubbed her face gently against my body, purring softly.I reached out and ran my hands through her fur. She was beautiful.Seeing her like this from this perspective took my breath away. I’d never seen any
I took a step back, shaking my head. What the Lycan King just said didn’t make any sense. Was he trying to mess with me? How could our wolves have the same fur color? That’s only supposed to happen with mates and even then, it’s not always identical. I’ve never heard of mates having the same fur color. All this time, I thought the black that suddenly appeared on half of my wolf’s body came from Logan. His wolf is black, after all, so it made sense. But now the Lycan King is saying something completely different, something that just doesn’t add up.“So you’re saying you shifted once and were a white wolf, and then you shifted again and suddenly turned black and white? Are you trying to mess with me? Let me make it clear to you. I’m not in the mood for your games.” he asked, his voice rising with anger.“I should be the one asking questions right now,” I hissed back. “Because it seems like you know more about me than I do. How do you even know what my wolf looks like?”“Because that’s
Suddenly, the air around me changed. A force lifted me off the ground and threw me out of the room. The door slammed behind me, and I landed hard on my butt.Did he really just kick me out like that?I stood up fast and went to the door, grabbing the handle but the moment I touched it, a sharp jolt of electricity shot through my arm. I cried out, fell to the floor, and shook from the shock.“You fucker!” I shouted once I could talk again. “Just because you have powers doesn’t mean you can use them however you want! Screw you!”The door burst open, and he came out looking furious. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me up, shaking me.“I could kill you right now,” he said through gritted teeth. “So you better keep that mouth of yours shut. You don’t know what I’m capable of so don’t test me.”I knew I should be scared but all I could do was stare at him.He was… beautiful. Too beautiful. His eyes were sharp, his face perfect, and when he pulled me closer, I forgot how to breathe.Our faces
The Lycan King picked up his pace, and within seconds, it felt like we were gliding through the air. Floating fast and smooth. I should have asked questions or just said something but I couldn’t. My body felt weak and my mind was heavy. I should have been relieved and happy that he took me away from that hellhole. But all I felt was… emptiness, sadness and embarrassment. Why did I have to act like that?Why did I scream and beg right in front of him after putting up such a strong front? I had told him I’d never go with him, and now here I was… in his arms, heading to God-knows-where without a single fight.“You can let go of my shirt before you rip it to shreds,” he said, voice low and rumbling from his chest.I flinched.“Sorry,” I muttered, loosening my clenched fist. I hadn’t realized I was gripping his clothes that hard. The fabric beneath my hand was already torn.“You can put me down,” I said quietly, trying to shift away. “I can walk.”“I’m not sure either of us wants that,”
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
