LOGAN'S POV I had truly wanted to keep kissing her all night long, but unfortunately, I was being very careful as not to push her away. I stayed awake for the rest of the night, watching her as she slept. Oh, goddess! She was sooo beautiful. Her full black curls spread out on every angle of the pillow where she laid her head, as her breasts rose and fell softly with each breathe she took. I looked at the sharp line of her jaw and the pointed structure of her nose, forcing myself not to touch her face. She was a light sleeper, and any little touch could wake her up. Suddenly, my last discussion with Alpha Ryan resurfaced in my mind, and a small frown made its way to my face. I quickly looked away from Audrey's sleeping face, and turned to the other side of the bed. I didn't want to look at her, while those thoughts ran through my mind. Ryan had asked me to be careful around Audrey. Apparently, he suspects she and her parents may be involved in Sebastian's plan. But then again

AUDREY'S POV I watched as the two guards carried the iron cage into the field and dropped it. The squirrel continued scratching against the cage, trying to set itself free. Oh, poor thing. "Here you go." Logan grinned at me, and I shook my head in disbelief. "Do we have to do this?" "Of course, we do." He nodded in conviction. "We need to get our tricks ready for the coronation." He chuckled, but I could see his struggle within. It became clearer to me that Logan was only using this as a form of distraction from his real problems. Deciding I would be that distraction he needed, I played the part. That was the least I could do for him. Moreover I was a major part of his predicament, and it killed me every passing day that I thought of how helpless I was. I cared about Logan, but I was also scared to jeopardize the safety of my parents. "Alright!" I grinned. "Should we freeze the squirrel with my stare?!" I yelled, expecting to get hyped up. "Yes!!" He actually hyped m

AUDREY'S POV The purposeful hums I heard in my ear, made my eyes slowly flutter open. There he was, actually humming into my ear with a smile on his face. "Today it is your birthday, and I sing to let you know..... that you would be queen for the day, whatever you say goes!" He sang, and it dawned on me. "Logan? What's today's date?" I asked, unsure if he was correct, regardless of the fact that I knew he was. "The eleventh day in march..." He sang, making me chuckle at his childlike behaviour. It was indeed my birthday!! Today was my birthday!! How come it skipped my mind? 'Seriously?!' My wolf muttered. 'With the looming problems over our heads, you expect to remember our birthday?' That was true. I had a mission to carry out this morning, and the earlier I got to it, the better for me. I couldn't help the look of sadness I had on, and Logan quickly noticed it. "What's wrong?" He asked, cupping my cheeks. I simply shook my head, hoping to somehow alleviate his wo

LOGAN'S POV I was so elated! It was Audrey's birthday, and I finally got to tell her how I truly felt about her. Even though she may have given a discouraging response if Alara hadn't interrupted our discussion, I was still glad that I told her and it was finally off my chest. As I took my time washing my body clean, I thought about my time at the cold moon pack. I couldn't believe that I had actually harboured the slightest thoughts that Audrey would betray me. I mean, if nothing else made me see things much clearly now, then the passionate night we spent writhing in pleasure that was provoked by each other, was enough to. Audrey would have never let me do such a significant thing with her, if she wasn't loyal and looking to build something great with me. But then again, I could help the slight feeling of jealousy I felt within, knowing I wasn't her first. It made my mind wander through inappropriate paths. It got me thinking if she had also been with Sebastian so intimately

LOGAN'S POV In tears, I walked out of Sebastian's chambers and the moment the door closed shut behind me, I hastened my steps. My head pounded with each step I took farther away from his chambers, and just when I heard her scream my name, I took to my heels. Call me weak for running like a scared animal, but I couldn't bear looking at her in that moment. To be honest, I didn't think I would be able to look at her lying, scheming face ever again. Running towards nowhere in particular, I kept going in the direction my mind told me. Funnily, it landed me at my mother's shrine, and I sardonically laughed at the irony of things. Here I was, running away from the woman who broke my heart, only to find myself running into the shrine of the one who abandoned me. Nonetheless, hiding away in the shrine seemed like a better option. As I stepped into the shrine, I was shocked to see the entire place up in smoke.... or fog? What was going on? And just when I thought I had seen enough
