Aella awoke to the sound of birds chirruping happily. She stretched lazily and opened her eyes, peering at her surroundings like a newly born baby. The morning felt and looked so alive and young. The light that filtered from the window was golden and felt surreal, and a tree close to the window cast soft shadows inside the room.She felt unusually happy; her heart felt like it was floating in the air or she was bouncing around on balloons. She realised that she hadn't felt this kind of happiness and satisfaction since she joined the pack. In fact, since she became a wild wolf. It felt as though she had finally found her purpose after several years of aimless searching.She sat up and looked around properly, realising that she had woken up in Logan's room and not hers. Soon all the memories from last night began rushing back and she smiled sheepishly. She hugged her knees to her naked chest as the thoughts of what had ensued the previous night came back to her. The way the night had en
Logan and Casper his beta were on the training ground with about a dozen teenage werewolves. He looked at each of their innocent, eager faces. They were all so young; they reminded him of an earlier version of himself.He hated sending them out to the battlefield so young but he had literally no other choice. His men were so depleted that he was very sure that they could not stand against any form of opposition. He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling the hot morning sun beat his face.Sometimes Logan felt the ominous sense of danger hanging around the pack's surroundings. His spirit was not at peace: he kept feeling like something would happen soon but he could not say in particular what would. All he could do is prepare his people and wait.When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Louve and Aella had entered the training field and were watching them from a distance. The two most important women in his life, he thought. They were so alike, yet so different.Louve, in her very enthus
The two men apparently seemed to not be on their way to a definite direction. Walking down north and south again, before stopping at the centre of the border. In suspicion of what the two men were doing hovering around the border, Logan ordered his men to go invite the men to him so they could discuss.Looking sideways at Casper, he was thankful the topic had been submerged in the worry of the two men.Casper's thoughts drifted to what had happened earlier, seeing a display of vulnerability on his alpha's face was quite wholesome in regards to his usual temperament. "The power of love, I guess" Casper thought silently as he smiled to himself.Logan saw this brief movement, but decided to avoid questioning him on it so as not to get engaged in an awkward conversation. He looked from afar and saw his men engaged with the two men in a conversation. They seemed to be arguing about something."What do you think is going on up there?" Logan asked his beta, who shook his head."I don't know
Logan ensured that the captured man was taken to the cages meant for dogs and locked up in there. That was where very hardened wolves were kept. Logan knew that the wolf would begin to spill his darkest inner secrets within a few hours of being in those cages. After ensuring that the man was securely caged, he walked into the pack house and towards his room.A big smile formed on his handsome face immediately he walked in and met Aella waiting for him while sitting on his bed. She was wearing nothing but a sheer black singlet and shorts, with her hair let down. She looked so young and full of life; his woman."Hey Logan," she called, getting up and walking closer to him.Logan replied her by dragging her closer with her waist. He locked eyes with her before slamming his lips on her own. Aella responded to the kiss immediately as if she has been waiting for that. They kept kissing for a while until he break the kiss."Oh wow." She murmured, smiling at him. "I love this gentle side of y
Logan left the prisoner among the dogs in the cage and walked back towards the pack house with his aides. His mind was in turmoil. He was confused about the next step to take, as he hadn't envisaged a trespasser.When they got into the foyer of the packhouse, Jesse his gamma spoke up."So what are we going to do next, Alpha?" He asked.Logan frowned in thought. "This is definitely an unexpected turn of events. I think we should gather the head wolves and have a meeting on the next step to take, because I am personally very confused on what to do."They then walked towards the strategy room. Once they entered, Logan sat down on one of the chairs and fetched a guard. The guard came into the room and bowed reverently to the three leaders."Yes, send messages to all the head wolves of this pack. We need to have an impromptu meeting concerning the hostage that was taken." Logan commanded."Yes, my Alpha." The guard said and bowed again before going out of the room. The Beta and Gamma took
The sight of Kylie's dead body was terrible to behold. Logan immediately closed his eyes as a sharp pang of pain went through his body. Not Kylie, no! He thought.Like the other pack members that had been killed, Kylie was in half-human, half-wolf form. Her torso and limbs were in wolf form, but her head and neck were human, though covered in sparse fur. Her thick blonde hair was framed around her face like a halo, and her grey eyes stared lifelessly at the sky. Her torso had been slashed repeatedly. Logan could count four slashes, deep as knife wounds. Her intestines peeked from the wounds like fat red tentacles.Casper and Jesse soon joined them. Casper cursed silently as he saw the dead body. "Damn." He said. "When had this happened?"Indeed, when had this happened, Logan thought to himself. He had been on this training ground barely six hours ago. It must have happened when he was busy interrogating the rogue wolf. Her skin already looked pallid and rigor mortis had begun to set i
Aella entered the room that she and Logan now shared and looked around. The alpha wasn't here either. She had seen him walk into the pack house after the burial and had thought that he was coming into their room. But the room was devoid of him.She went into the bathroom to have a bath, then put on a black see-through slip that Louve had given her. Logan would be tearing at that slip once you show up to bed with it, she'd said. Aella wanted to test it now, to see if Logan would look at her with desire in his eyes. She washed her hair with scented soap and let it down so it billowed around her shoulders the way he liked it, then laid on the bed to wait for her mate.An hour passed with Aella patiently waiting for him but he didn't show up. She wondered where he was at the moment. Then she remembered that he was the alpha and every pain or grief that his pack member was feeling, he would feel too. Perhaps he needed a few hours to himself, to get over the collective pain that he was mos
Logan was disturbed.There was no other word to exaim the uneasiness he felt inside of him. He realised suddenly that he didn't want to be around Aella, at least for the meantime. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was fishy about her. He guessed that the feeling had been there ever since she had appeared at the thresholds of his pack's border, but it had been repressed by the love and fondness he had begun to feel for her.But now that he had seen that tattoo on the rogue's neck, then seen it on her shoulder and his mother's hand, he knew that there was really more to her than meets the eye. And he had posed that question back in his study to see her reaction. Her reaction had confirmed all his fears. At that moment she had looked like her worst nightmare had come to life.He was so confused and full of anxiety. At this point he didn't know what to believe anymore. Did that mean that his mother was a rogue wolf before she got married to his father? And how was Aella tied to
