I felt hope building within me that there was a possibility he would finally be willing to admit that he cared for me – perhaps even loved me. "Grey, please... don't do this," I heard Logan say once again, and I didn't like the way that panic rose in his voice.. “I have to marry Madalynn. As much as I wish that wasn‘t so. James has given me a clear order, and I am going to obey it. His mate can not have children, and my child will be the heir to the throne one day. I have to have à respectable Luna, Logan.” Hearing Alpha Grey say that he didn‘t think I was respectable cut deep into me. I came from a royal bloodline. My mother‘s family were from the old world, and even though I was the last of their line, I still was an Alpha‘s daughter. Regardless of how I had come to Alpha Grey. The one problem was: no one knew of my mothers bloodline. It had been kept a secret for so long, because of the tales of horrible things people did to her family generations ago. I didn‘t know all of th

Logan's POV The conversation with Grey hadn‘t gone as I had expected the other night. I had tried several times to make him reconsider, but he was now more adamant than anything that we were going to go through with the plan. No matter how much he tried to deny that he cared for Avalyn, I knew he did. And if I could get him to realize that maybe I could save her. I couldn‘t allow him to kill her. I had to do something. But I was stuck in a position that was far from ideal. “Logan!” My sister‘s voice screamed from the other side of my door, pulling me out of my own thoughts. Quickly, I opened the door, I saw her fuming face on the other side for a moment before she pushed her way past into my room. “What‘s wrong?” I asked, feeling confused. “Did something happen? Is Avalyn okay?!” “ Like you care,” she replied coldly, looking at me with a deadly stare. “Excuse me? I‘ve been worried about her the last couple days just like you. I just don‘t understand what happened to make her

Avalyn POV“I want you, Rosalie." Grey's soft whisper wrapped around me as we lay tangled in the sheets, our bodies molding together in heated passion."Don't leave me.” I begged him.He forced me to look at him. My fingers ran though his jet-black hair, and my gaze met with his clear blue eyes.He was my gorgeous Alpha. He was my world.Over and over again, he made me come undone around him. The feeling of him sliding in and out of me made my mind spiral.I wanted him-all of him, always. His hands brushing over my bare skin sent shivers through my body."You are mine forever, Ava- and I am forever yours.”His declaration made the love I had for him grow. I knew there was no way that I would ever get over how he made me feel. Yet, as the passion grew between us, he suddenly felt so far away.His body was sliding away from me, leaving mewith an empty feeling inside."Grey?"My panic-filled voice drifted in an endless sea ofdarkness, and the sound of whispers drew meout of that pla

And I just needed a way to make him realize that.I had to do something."Logan!" My sister's voice echoed from the other side of my door along with a knock, pulling me from my thoughts. Quickly, I opened the door. Clearly she was upset. Before I could ask whatthe matter was, she pushed her way into my room."What's wrong?" I was immediately on high alert."Did something happen?"Her expression was sad and angry. I knew she had gone to check on Avalyn …I had a bad feeling about it."Is Avalyn okay?!" | urged."Like you care.” she replied coldly,

Avalyn POVLunch with Georgia and Becca was lovely being able to do the things I wanted to and not having to worry about following anyone's orders was lovely.However, the joy vanished as soon as I was bymyself. My mind could not escape from thethoughts about Alpha Grey.How could he be so cold-hearted?I didn't know whether I would feel better or worse had he never shown me his gentleness.He gave me hope, but that made it worse.Never had anyone caused me so many emotions that I didn't believe could co-exist fear and pleasure, pain and……. love.The gentle ways he touched me showed me hecared, but he also acted as if the affection we had was nothing more than a business transaction.Since the first day I met him, I was attracted him.
