All Chapters of Alpha Logan's Mistress: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

GUAPOI hadn't recovered from the news of the probability of Reina being alive. The words replayed in my mind like a curse, refusing to let me rest. It was like a glaring loophole that settled in the middle of every one of my plans. My chest tightened each time I thought about it, the uncertainty cutting deeper than any blade.It was almost as though she was bidding her time, watching me, waiting for the perfect moment to resurface and ruin everything I had worked for. I knew I had convinced the pack to disbelieve whatever she came up with, to treat her as nothing more than a ghost from the past. But knowing Reina, I was not certain that everything would turn out well. She had always been clever, more clever than I had given her credit for. And clever enemies were the hardest to kill.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring into the dimly lit room, lost in thought, when Giovanni barged in without knocking. He walked into my room like he owned the place, as if my boundaries meant nothing

LOGAN“You didn’t have to do that,” I murmured as Seraphina and I walked away from the servants. My voice was low, sharp, meant only for her ears. “That was totally unnecessary. Nobody’s dragging the throne with you.”She stopped mid-step and turned her head, looking at me as if I had just uttered the most offensive, absurd words in existence. Her emerald eyes glimmered with indignation, and the stiff line of her jaw told me she wasn’t going to let this go.For a moment, the silence stretched between us. I clenched my fists, trying to keep my temper at bay, because the last thing I wanted was a screaming match in the middle of the corridor. But Seraphina was not one to yield to silence.When she finally spoke, her voice was sharp and precise, and each word sounded like it was meant to slice through me. “You are acting like a cheater who just got caught, Logan. Do you realize how pathetic that looks? If that servant girl truly meant nothing to you, you would not be jumping to defend he

REINAIt hurts.Mina sat right beside me on the rough wooden bench, holding my head gently as she dabbed at the cut with a piece of damp cloth. Her face twisted with worry, her brows knitted tightly as if my pain was hers. The swelling on my scalp burned with every touch, but that was nothing compared to the fire raging in my chest.The ice pack sat cold against my head, numbing me, but I still felt raw. Betrayed. Used. Worse than that, discarded like I was nothing.What hurt the most wasn’t even Seraphina’s cruelty. I had already expected it from her. What crushed me was the realization that I had allowed myself to hope again. I had given up believing I could matter to anyone, then Logan walked into my life and stirred that fragile part of me. And now he was marrying Seraphina. The very woman who treated me like filth. The very woman who had just smashed a glass on my head.“Wicked snake!” Mina raged, her hand trembling as she pressed harder on the cloth. “She’s evil, Reina. Evil! If

REINAWhen he mentioned the West pack, I went still, but I suddenly remembered that he still didn’t know where I came from, and I didn’t want anything to hint at it, so I masked my expression. But my heart started to race in my chest, so I knew I had to leave.He looked like he didn’t want me to go, and I really wanted to stay back, to experience his comfort, but I couldn’t. I quickly slipped out from his chamber and scurried down to the small room he had given me when I first arrived here.Soon as I stepped into my room, I shut the door, making sure it was locked properly. Then I fell to the floor, scrunching my knees up to my chest as my eyes became wet with tears.I shut my eyes tight, desperate to hold the tears back, but when I did, all I could see were shadows from the past, everything playing out like it was happening again.---The cold stones pressed into my back, the damp smell of rot clinging to my hair. My arms shook as I tried to push myself up, but my body was too weak.

SERAPHINAI can’t stand that girl. Mina, or whatever ridiculous name she goes by. I can’t stand her one bit. She struts around with her chin up like she’s someone important, when in reality she’s just a maid. A servant. Nothing more. The arrogance dripping off her makes my skin itch. I don’t know why she thinks she can get away with speaking to me the way she does, but let her grow her little wings while she can. Once the marriage rites are completed, I’ll be there to clip them right off.“My lady.”I turned at the sound of Tara’s whisper. She dipped her head politely, her voice low so the others wouldn’t overhear. “Your parents have arrived. They’re heading to the throne room. Alpha Logan isn’t there yet.”My heart jumped, not out of nerves but out of excitement. Finally, my parents were here. The first of our wedding guests, the most important ones. Everything about the wedding was supposed to show strength, elegance, and unity. And it started with them.I sprang up immediately. “Le
