"Baby girl," Logan said in a commanding tone and she instantly became quiet. That's when she opened her eyes and looked at the man hovering over her with a frown.
When Hera opened her eyes, Logan could see fear. He is confused.
'She had a nightmare?' he thought with concern.
She is shaking with fear and tears began to stream down her cheeks.
"What happened? You had a bad dream?" he asked her softly.
She shook her head, unable to speak through her tears.
Logan frowned. Even though he couldn't understand what is wrong with her, her fear is making him angry. He wanted to kill the person who put that look in her eyes. He pulled her into a hug and made her sit in his lap. On instinct, she wrapped her arms around his abdomen and rested her head on his chest. Logan slowly stroked her hair. When she finally calmed down and her shivering stopped, he decided to ask her what happened.
"What happened just now?" he asked her softly.
Hera closed her eyes when she remembered her pack Beta's face. Fear began to crawl up her spine and she began to shake again.
Whatever the reason might be, Logan is becoming very protective of Hera. He is not understanding this strange reaction towards her. But she is touching a part in his heart that he thought died a long time ago. It's as if she is giving his heart a new life.
"Shh. Baby girl, calm down. I will protect you. I promise I will help you. But you have to tell me what happened and what scared you so much" he coaxed her softly.
Hera is so moved by his gesture, she decided to tell him where her fear came from. No one has ever offered her to help even though she begged them to help her. But now, this man is offering to help her. She did not know if he would help or not, but his offer moved her heart.
"My fathers best friend is my pack's Beta. He has a son my age. But he always find reasons to touch me. Initially, I used to think that he is like my father and I tried not to misunderstand him. But the day I turned 16, he snuck into the basement where I usually sleep and tried to touch me in the wrong way. I was shocked and pushed him away and threatened him that I would scream. I was sure he never would want his reputation to be ruined. So he left that day. But since then, he always used to sneak up on me when I was alone. So I tried my best to stay within the reach of people, even though that's the last thing I wanted to do. That's one of the main reasons I decided to run away from my pack. I was scared he would succeed one day and force himself on me" she whispered the last part with tears in her eyes.
Logan gritted his teeth angrily.
'What kind of asshole would molest a girl who is of his son's age? I would kill him if at all he crosses my path' he thought angrily.
'You are right. Such a sweet girl and he tried to taint her innocence? And what kind of a father would refuse to help his daughter?' Ray fumed.
"I know it must be hard for you to trust a total stranger. But baby girl, just like I promised, I will protect you. Even in my absence, my protection spell will stay with you. It will protect you from the people like that Beta" he offered his protection.
Hera looked at him with awe.
'If he could do that, then I no longer need to be scared of anyone again' she thought, as hope blossomed in her heart.
"Really?" she asked with surprise. Her face lit up with a relieved smile, which mesmerised him.
"Really" he replied, feeling happy that she is happy.
Hera frowned.
"But, what is a protection spell?" she asked with confusion.
Logan forgot that she doesn't know anything about Lycan's. So he decided to explain. He found her cute, even though she is ignorant of Lycan culture.
"A few Lycan's can cast a protective spell on whoever he wants to protect. After I cast that spell, no one would be able to touch you without your permission. If anyone touches you and if you don't like it, then that person would suffer an unbearable pain until the moment he moves away from you" he explained.
Hera smiled brightly.
"You could do that? After that, no one would be able to touch me? I will be safe?" she asked with childlike excitement.
Logan softly caressed her cheek. She is looking so ethereal when she smiles.
"Yes, no one can touch you without your consent. Even I won't be able to touch you if you don't want me to" he confirmed.
Hera laughed with happiness. But then a thought crossed her mind.
"Wait, what if I like a guy? Will he be in pain as well if he touches me?" she asked innocently.
He smiled at her question softly.
If it's any other woman, then they would have jumped with joy the moment he proposed to give them his protection mark. But Hera is so innocent, that she is not understanding the importance of what he suggested. He wanted her to always remain so pure-hearted like she is now. She is not yet tainted with the darkness of the world. He wanted to protect her and never let her experience the horror's of the world.
"The protection spell will leave a visible mark on your body. That mark will become a part of you. No one can see it. Only you and I can see it. If you really love a guy and if he touches your heart, then Mark would know that you would welcome his touch. That would be the day my mark would disappear completely. That would be the day you would find someone who would cherish you and protect you. You no longer would need my mark than" he explained.
He intentionally skipped the most important part. Casting a Lycan spell is considered as an intimate thing between a male and female. If a male Lycan cast this spell on any female, she would be considered as his until the mark disappears.
When Hera heard about the Lycan spell, she became excited. She would no longer be scared of anyone. She can live her life without constantly looking behind her for any threats. "I like this spell..." She shared her opinion excitedly. But then, all of a sudden her excitement is gone and is replaced with a frown. Logan shook his head with amusement. "Now what? Something bothering you?" he murmured, looking at her cute frown. Hera nodded her head. "If this spell is so powerful, then it must be expensive. But I don't have any money to pay for the spell" she replied sadly. Logan couldn't help but laugh at her concern. He is one of the richest men in the world. He has more money than he can count. He could buy ten islands at once with his monthly profits. Even then a few billion dollars would be left for him to spent. He don't need money. Hera frowned. "Why are you laughing?" She asked with confusion.
The next morning, Logan is woken up by an insistent knocking on his door. He groaned with irritation. He was having the best sleep after so many years, but someone dared to disturb him. He opened his eyes to look at the time. But his sleepiness is gone in an instant when he realised why he is sleeping so peacefully. Hera is sleeping with her head resting on his chest. One of her arms is thrown haphazardly over his abdomen and one of her legs is draped over his thighs. Almost half of her body is lying over his. The most shocking thing is, one of his arms is wrapping around her small waist. Logan likes to sleep alone. He never let any of his one night stands to sleep in his bed. As soon as he finishes, he will leave. He never let his flings to enter his bedroom, never alone sleep on his bed. But he let Hera inside his private cabin. He insisted that she sleep on his bed. And he is holding her as if she is the most precious thing in the
After Leo left, Logan walked inside the cabin after locking the door after himself. He looked at Hera, who is now sleeping in the place where he slept until a few minutes ago. She must have moved to his side of the bed after he left. He contemplated whether to wake her or not. But looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he decided not to disturb her.Quickly he took a bath a changed into a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt. He left a note near her pillow stating that he will be back soon. With that, he left the cabin leaving her behind. Little did he know that her father is waiting for a chance to take her back to his pack.Kael Wilson, Hera's father looked at Logan's retreating figure. He identified the person as a Lycan, but he didn't get a chance to look at his face."He left. Now is our only chance to drag her back to the pack" Kael's Beta, Jason whispered. They are too scared to talk out loud. They fear that the Lycan might hear their voices and
3 years later.... Logan punched his opponent with so much power that his opponent fell down making a loud noise. He was writhing on the floor with pain and couldn't get up. Logan is still not satisfied. He signaled the referee to send another opponent. The Lycan referee hesitated a little. Logan is so powerful as it is and on top of it, he is angry. He has been in a typical mood for the past three years. So he is fighting to vent out his anger. No one knows what made Logan Harris change drastically. But whenever he feels restless, he visits this Lycan training ground and begins to fight. Already 6 of his best Lycan fighters are injured. He is not willing to send the others to a similar fate. If this goes on like this, by the end of this day, all the Lycan warriors will be injured. Usually, Lycans heal within minutes. But Logan's punches are so powerful, it is taking them at least one day to heal completely. The referee looked at Logan's twin Leo
Alexander Harris is the Alpha of the Lycans. By default, he is also the Alpha of all the werewolf packs. Whatever he says is the law. He has the power to control anyone with just a snap of his finger. He has two sons who are also twins. Logan Harris and Leo Harris look-alike, but Logan is more powerful than Leo. Logan inherited his powers from his grandfather, who is also Alexander's father Zander Harris. So far Zander is the most powerful Lycan in the world. Logan has replaced his name as soon as he was born. An incident that happened ten years ago made Logan withdraw himself from not only his family but also his pack. He is still considered as the next Alpha of the Lycans. But Logan is not willing to take up that responsibility. "Alpha" his beta Lionel called him to attract his attention. Alexander looked at his Beta expectantly. "Do you think he will agree to hand over his daughter to us?" he expressed his doubt. Alexander sighe
"Hello, Hera" Alexander greeted his goddaughter with a warm smile. She looks just like his best friend Leila. Suddenly he felt like he has been transported back to their teenage days. His eyes became moist with the sudden onslaughter of emotions. He is a Lycan, so he could conceal his emotions really well. That's the only reason why he is not tearing Kael from limb to limb. Because Hera's clothes are worn out and dirty. It's as if she has been working as a maid in the kitchen. Alexander glared at Kael with anger. Kael folded himself into a fetal position and began to rock with fear. "What kind of a father are you? Who treats their own flesh and blood like this. You are unfit to call yourself her father" he thundered angrily. Kael flinched and immediately fell on Alexander's feet. "Please forgive me, your highness. Please spare my life, your highness" he begged pathetically. Hera never saw her father begging for anything. It
Hera is sitting in her room in the Blood moon pack, packhouse. It's been two days since she came here and so far she is liking everything. Everyone is treating her nicely. She is not sure if they are genuinely nice or they are scared of Alpha Alexander. But whatever the reason, so far she is yet to encounter a person who is rude to her. The packhouse is a huge Mansion with more than 20 bedrooms. It's only a three-story building, but it's so huge, it's spread in an area of 10,000 square feet. The mansion itself is grand with wooden floors and huge expensive looking chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. There are expensive paintings placed strategically on the walls. Flower vases placed every here and there, filled with fresh flowers. They are two sections of the mansion, the north section and the south section. Both the sections are separated by a grand staircase made with granite marble stone and a sandalwood railing. The ground floor consists of a huge kitchen, livi
Alexander decided to arrange a marriage between Hera and Leo. This is his way to protect Hera. So he decided to talk to Leo."She is my best friend's daughter. I failed Leila once. I don't want to disappoint her now. I want you to marry her Leo. I would have asked Logan, but we all know that he likes someone else. Will you consider my request son?" Alexander asked Leo after explaining everything about Leila and how she was trapped by Kael and ended up missing.Leo never thought he would agree to an arranged marriage. But his father never requested this before either. After listening to everything his father revealed, he cannot refuse his request. He understood this was something he is doing to protect his granddaughter."It's not just me who has to agree dad. She should be willing too. We cannot force her into something that she doesn't want" Leo replied.Alexander gave Leo a proud smile."I know son. I know you are charming if you want to be
