* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *"How can I help you?" I asked bluntly, trying to hold back my anger.I just hope she doesn't send me on any silly errands this evening, because I would not even consider doing it."I called you here and gave you a job!" She said,Ha! Like she had done me a big favor."Then what? You stabbed me in the back and tried to steal my mate. Where did you even get the guts to betray me? I thought I warned you not to try and betray me?" She yelled.I just remained silent watching her ramble, I was too sad to fight with anyone right now, especially someone as senseless as her."Why are you quiet? Did the cat cut your tongue? Huh? Why did you not say no when he asked you to have sex with him? Do you have any dignity at all? You are so cheap!" She spat.Maybe she was right. Maybe I really have no dignity, maybe I am too cheap.I just stood there and let her rain insults on me. Silence has always been the best answer to a fool, I even doubt that Logan isn't us

* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *After lectures were over for the day, it was already 5 p.m. in the evening. Michael and I walked out of the school gate and headed for home, things were still awkward between us ever since he tried to kiss me.I was actually feeling bad about how I had pushed him off, not like I wanted to kiss him but it made me feel ungrateful. I mean he had just found me a job, something I needed desperately and yet I couldn't let him kiss me.But come to think of it, why did he try to kiss me in the first place? What should I make out of this? Does he want us to be more than just friends? Is he in love with me?If so then I am scared that I would end up hurting him, I only like him as a friend. He is very nice and always makes me laugh like he did today, he has made me forget my worries."Crystal, I want to apologize again for today. I should not have done what I did, it's just that I couldn't help it," he finally broke the silence as we walked home.He couldn

* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *I thought I was the only one good at lying, but here I found someone who is an expert in the field.Does he really want me to believe his words?Does he want me to trust him again?Does he think I would fall for his lies again?Then he better think again, because that's not going to happen. I have been deceived one too many times to be fooled again in this lifetime, especially from the person of Alpha Logan Stewart.So he wants me to believe that he had only said those words to save me?What do I look like? A fool?"Please tell me that you believe me Crystal, tell me that you see the love I have for you. Look into my eyes and tell me that you don't see it, the feelings are true and it's clearly written in my eyes."Look into his eyes indeed.He knows very well that his eyes are intimidating to me, the moment I look into them, I feel weak and find myself submitting against my will, then he takes advantage of it to make me love him again, only for him

* * * * * Crystal's POV * * * * *Before I went to bed that night, I called my step parents and informed them that I would come and pick Aidan early in the morning.Once I hear the cockcrow, I will carry my luggages, pick up Aidan and say goodbye to the city. I might never come back here again to avoid Alpha Logan Stewart finding us. I would die before he kills my son.As I went to bed that night, my whole body ached due to the terrible day I had. Logan had really caused me a lot of stress.The next morning when I woke up, I quickly took a bath, got dressed in a simple gown and headed to my step parents house with my luggages.I know they are going to be sad that I am leaving, but I have to go. It's important that I do.Michael tried to call me a few more times the previous night but I had ignored his calls, and at a point switched off my phone.I will call him after I leave the city else he might succeed in making me change my mind.I arrived at my step parents house and for som

* * * * * Omniscient Narrator * * * * *Two Days later, it was Monday. Logan had not gone to work, not to his business or school office, he decided to stay at home and rest for the day.Ever since that night with Crystal, he felt that she was still hurt by his words so he decided to give her some space for the meantime.He did not go to her house on Saturday or on Sunday and he did not try to call her either.Although staying away from her made him feel incomplete, he was so used to being around her that two days without seeing or communicating with her took a lot out of his body.To worsen it, his wolf had been very restless. The animal was tired of submitting to his depression, it wanted to be let out and would not let Logan have peace of mind until he did so.Finally Logan couldn't fight it anymore, he couldn't oppose the beast's demand so he decided he was going to let it out.The wolf which he had named Zach was super excited, when he let it know his intention of letting it ou
