Aiden's POVThe journey to the other pack was longer than I had envisioned and that was largely because we had kids on board with us. And with them, it became more of a road trip than an actual journey because we had to make occasional stops other than the ones we made so we could sleep at the motel. One thing that surprised both Ava and I was how good and well behaved the children were. They didn't throw unnecessary tantrums and their arguments didn't last long either– though I'll attribute that to their mum as well. One question they didn't stop asking though was "Are we there yet?" And everytime our answer was "not yet" and then it changed to "Almost." When we finally arrived, the kids were fast asleep and no one seemed to notice that the Alpha was back, which was good because it meant that my Beta and the other staff handled the news of my return with uttermost discretion just the way I had instructed. "Logan, this place is beautiful!" "I know right? It's even better than how I
Aiden's POVNash shrugged and Nathan got up pretty fast so it was his turn to wake Nash. "Nash, come on! You'll miss the ride to our new house!" Ava and I laughed at the kids and continued our ride in silence until Ava said "Wow Logan, your system must be pretty solid for it to even work in your absence." "Of course. That has always been my goal and so I worked towards making that happen. My people know I trust them and they always do everything in their possible best to not break that trust. Also, I made myself accessible to them so that they not only see me as a leader but we can converse and relate as friends and as normal people as well." "Why did you do the same thing with Aiden's pack as well?" "The problem there was that they were in shambles when I arrived. My goal wasn't to destroy them but my goal wasn't also to build them up somi had to be strategic about it. I might not have saved his pack from crumbling because it was always bound to crumble but I was able to save t
Ava's POVAs soon as we stepped into the house, a man whom I guessed was the butler walked over to where we stood and greeted us as he gestured to some staff to go and get our smaller bags from the car. "Alpha Logan, it's such a pleasure to see you again after such a long time." "I know right? It's been a while." Turning to me, he continued "Good evening my lady, it's a pleasure to have you. I'm Kendrick the butler." He was visibly older than Logan and I put together but he was still as agile as ever. I took his extended arm and proceeded to introduce myself. "Well, there's not much introduction to do. I'm Ava Silverpelt but you can call me Ava." Smiling, he turned to Logan who smiled back and then he turned back to address me. "As you can visibly see, I'm a man of age," he chuckled, using one hand to cover his mouth as if he didn't want Logan to hear what he was going to say next he continued, "But I'm young at heart." We all laughed and then he picked up from where he stopped.
Ava's POV When Logan opened the door, we were able to see the interior of the house, which was a harmonious combination of contemporary and tradition. Upon entering the foyer, my senses were welcomed with a subtle combination of earthy tones and the faint perfume of wood that had been polished on the surface. The interior design successfully combined aspects of the rustic style with those of the contemporary style, as evidenced by the elegant furnishings and ambient lighting. There was a massive stone fireplace in the living room, and it was flanked by sumptuous leather seats. The living room stood out. There was a collection of artwork that had been meticulously collected and displayed on the walls, with each piece expressing a story about the rich history of the pack. The technology of the smart house was able to coexist inconspicuously with the classic furnishings, providing both convenience and a reference to the present simultaneously. The contemporary kitchen, which served as
The personal study of the Alpha contained both old books and cutting-edge technology in equal measure. It was a silent strength that emanated from the chamber, which was a metaphor of his leadership as Alpha. Not only was the palace a place of residence, but it was also a dynamic combination of legacy and innovation, which reflected the determination of the pack to embrace the future while still paying homage to its origins. As soon as we got back downstairs, a man whom I guessed was the butler walked over to where we stood and greeted us as he gestured to some staff to go and get our smaller bags from the car. "Alpha Logan, it's such a pleasure to see you again after such a long time." "I know right? It's been a while." Turning to me, he continued "Good evening my lady, it's a pleasure to have you. I'm Kendrick the butler." He was visibly older than Logan and I put together but he was still as agile as ever. I took his extended arm and proceeded to introduce myself. "Well,
Logan's POV "Can we just skip dinner?" "No we can't. We'll hurry with our bath and then go down for dinner. Whatever we want to do can wait till after dinner." "But babee.." "No ifs or buts Logan." She laughed and skipped into the bathroom and I was left there unsatisfied and all by myself. We got down for dinner five minutes after it had been served but that didn't stop the aroma from filling the air and satisfying our sensory organs. The chef had gone all out for us and prepared a three course dinner. For starters we had chips, salsa and guacamole. Chips, salsa, and guacamole all presented a colourful and texturally varied assortment of flavours and condiments. Each and every bite of the tortilla chips, which were golden in colour and lightly salted, had a delightful crunch. Because they were arranged in a rustic bowl, they served as the ideal canvas for the delectable dishes that were served alongside them. The salsa, which was a colourful combination of red and green,
Logan's POV For the side dish, we were served Mexican rice. The rice grains glistened with a subtle sheen, hinting at the savory broth in which they had been simmered to perfection. Diced vegetables, like confetti, adorned the dish—bright pops of red from tomatoes, emerald green from cilantro, and the earthy tones of sautéed onions. The aromatic blend promised a symphony of tastes, while the fluffiness of the grains suggested a delicate balance between texture and flavor. This Mexican rice not only tantalized the taste buds but also added a visual feast to the table, embodying the essence of traditional and flavorful cuisine. They informed us that there was dessert just as we were on the verge of concluding our meal. There was also a Tres Leches dessert for that occasion. By virtue of its ethereal attraction, the cake, which was sitting on my plate, beckoned to me. A delightful mystery was concealed within its surface, which was a canvas made of golden sponge. Each piece of the cake
Logan's POV"Do you have to?" "Yes. We have to. So what theme do you want it to be? Forest themed? Angel? All-white? Outdoor? Starry night? Name it and that is what we'll do!"Okay, slow down! How about an All white party with an angel theme and then for the guests, they all have to come with a date or a plus 1?" "Okay, sounds good but what about the kids? Should they have a separate party? Because there would be a lot of adult things going on.""Of course they would. It would be an avenue for them to also mingle and make new friends before school starts." "So what theme would we have for them?" "I think we should ask them." I agreed and then we proceeded to call the kids downstairs. When they arrived, they all sat down and Ava gave me the sign to go ahead. "So darlings, mummy and daddy are planning a party for.." as soon as they heard there was a party, they all started squealing with excitement and Nash even climbed the chair and was about to jump on it when Ava stopped him and
