Lian's POV "You worry too much, Renae. You were all over the place this morning… who knew this was… You almost lost it. You should be more careful henceforth," June reprimanded Renae and I stepped on her toes as I conjured words to lighten the mood. Renae wasn't looking happy about the news. "Those little soldiers are way too big for me. I can't wait to hold a tiny version of myself, cuddling and rocking them," I said as I held Renae's pale hands. "Congratulations Renae. Thank you for bringing goodness to the life of my son," My mother said with a smiling face. "Thank you, Mother," Renae replied to Mother and looked around for her husband. The royal physician had Just confirmed that Renae was a few weeks gone. She had fainted when she was on her way back from the Law School. At first, we thought it was just exhaustion, but when the royal physician examined her he confirmed that she was pregnant. My mother summoned Logan immediately, and when he came over we broke the news to hi

Logan's POV I sat in my office with a heavy heart. Last night, Lian told me about the strange man she encountered in the palace who was disguised as one of the soldiers. The alarming part was that he varnished around Jennifer's chambers. This just confirmed my assertions about strange men visiting Jennifer's chambers in disguise. Last night, Renae didn't sleep well. Her sleep was riotous, she tossed her body here and there, muttering in her sleep. Her murmurings were deep reflections on how she met me by chance and fell in love with me. I couldn't help but smile. The other part was scary. They were reflections on what transpired between her and Jennifer at Eden's grave. My knuckles turned white and I held her in my arms all through the night. Jennifer was a piece of trash to me. It takes me nothing to chop off her head. But I need a reason big enough to justify such action, otherwise I might live with the guilt for the rest of my life. I needed to catch her red-handed. But she

June's POVRenae had been sleeping all day long. If she hadn't resolved her issue with Alpha Logan I would have thought she was sleeping because of her anxiety.I was glad when she told me that she had told Logan about Jennifer's threat. I felt a huge lump fall off my neck. When Alpha Logan summoned me the previous day, I was too overwhelmed to talk. Moreover, I always like to respect Renae's opinion. Although in this case I knew that delay might be dangerous, I still waited for her and I was glad that she did the right thing.She told Logan and she even devised a means to outsmart Jennifer.Logan accepted her plans but felt it was too risky. He was all lovey dovey, saying he couldn't risk the life of his mate. After much thought he came up with another plan that seemed less risky.We were at the Queen mother's chambers with about three maids. All other maids were locked out and no one knew that we were there except those of us that were inside.We were all grounded at the Queen moth

Logan's POV At this point, I could only pray that things worked out as planned and nothing would boomerang on us. After hearing from Lian, I realized that my plan just failed woefully. I should have seen into Jennifer's mind. But who knew what the psychopath was planning? All my focus was on saving Renae and our pups. I should have known that Jennifer wouldn't just go all the way out to attack only Renae. Since I knew that she had a grander plan, I should have seen it happening. Well, I am out here and I can't be there either. I just have to trust my men. I was glad that I left Tera back at the palace. He wanted to come help me out here but I told him to stay back. "Tera, listen and listen carefully. The palace has been infiltrated…" I mind-linked him and told him the situation. I gave him the order to act as he deemed fit. When he told me that Alpha Noel was around, I felt at ease. I knew there wouldn't be any problem and I could concentrate on the deal before me out here. The

Logan's POVI didn't mourn Jennifer's death but a deep sense of sadness fell over me. Perhaps, she meant something to me after all. Memories of the time we spent together as children flooded my mind every day, leaving me sick and sad.Her delusion and greed were her doom. Yes, we were playmates and we were friends because her father was my father's Beta. But that was all. I never saw her as a lover and I never made such inclinations towards her. Thinking back now, I realized that there were signs that she had fallen for me, she did not hide it, but I was too busy and insensitive to take notice.I was always away from the Packhouse and when I returned, I hardly saw her.Flashes of the moment she walked into the cave where Renae saved me, posing as my savior flooded my sight. I shut my eyes as I remembered how I tried to love her despite having feelings for the small doctor.Sometimes we determine our fate and sometimes what will be will be irrespective of our determination. It all de
