LianI looked at the old man with disdain, hatred beaming in my eyes as I tried to restrain myself from slashing him in the neck."You vile and evil man! How could you!? She is your daughter for crying out loud," I yelled, pointing at my guard who was fast disappearing with Renae clutched in his arms."The small doctor is nice and I hope she did not inherit a bit of your wickedness!" I blurted. "So you know, Renae Hart is dead as of today!" I repeated firmlyThe old man remained unfazed, he stood there looking coldly at me as I ranted. My blood boiled and I tightened my grip on my sword, using all my strength to stop myself from slashing the vein on his neck.My gaze darted around and I stared at the woman and the lady beside her. Instantly, I concluded that she wasn't Renae's mother. No mother would watch or do this to her daughter.I wanted to talk but I was short of words. I shook my head slowly and staggered away.I returned to my carriage and ordered my men."Return to my chamb
Logan's POVI shrugged as I watched Lian leave in the company of her guards. I had thought Mother would be able to stop her from leaving the palace but she couldn't. She only ensured that Lian was dressed like a Princess and she was in the company of her guards.Going in the company of her guards was all for her safety which was quite important, but it wasn't really my concern. I didn't want her to meet the small doctor yet. I wanted to find things out on my own.Knowing Lian well, I have a strong feeling that she wouldn't lay low. She would go out of her way to investigate the attempt made on her life and I knew it was exactly why she wanted to meet the small doctor.I walked out of my chambers watching her carriage vanish into the thin air.Not knowing what to do. I pulled out my horse from the stable and mounted it in a hurry. I have to stop them from meeting."My Prince!!!" My guards and horsemen chorused. When they realized that I wouldn't stop, they jumped out of the way. I saw
Logan's POVAll through the ride, Leon and I were excited. Jennifer's scent was making us go insane and we couldn't help it. As I sniffed her scent noisily, I pulled her closer to my body with my arm that was holding her middle.Slowly, I dragged my fingers through her stomach, tickling her. She giggled, trying to peel my arm off her body. "Logan… we are on the horse… it tickles… stop it," she giggled, her voice sounding funny in the slow moving wind."The horse is steady and going slowly… You are in safe hands," I said huskily, brushing my teeth against her ear lobe."Logan!" She hit my legs softly, and shifted away from me."You have nowhere to run to," laughing hard, I pulled her back into my chest and she flinched, giggling too.We laughed heartily and I continued to taunt her. I was still tickling her when I rode past Lian's carriage.I blinked hard as I saw it waiting by the roadside. Guards were dispersed around it, guarding with all alertness.What the heck is Lian doing? Wh
Lian's POV With a big smirk on my face, I returned to my chambers. I was neither happy nor sad. "Jennifer is good enough for him," I repeated like a mantra. My voice sounded abrasive, I could feel the uncertainty underlying it. It is no news, I disliked Jennifer and she disliked me too. I couldn't bear to think that at some point someone like her would be the Luna of the Moonlight Pack. My maids trailed behind me as I walked into my living room. After I had dismissed them, I slipped into my bedroom and escaped into my secret chamber. Targon was still on guard. I smiled as I beheld his shining sword. He bowed and I gave him a thumbs up before looking away. My head maid had a sore smile on her face. She wasn't happy that I made the royal physician treat a commoner but she knew she had no say in the matter and she couldn't defy my orders. The physician was still at work. The small doctor's face was still and calm, her eyes were clamped shut. A steaming bowl of water was right be
Logan's POVI remained in the bathtub for what seemed like an eternity, shocked and weakened by the revelation. At first, I wanted to deny it, I wanted to believe I was wrong. But who am I kidding? The evidence was staring me in the face.Like a dream, all that I had believed turned out to be lies. I recounted how I had tried to love Jennifer when I felt nothing for her. I put up with the irritation because I felt guilty that I took her virginity and because I felt indebted to her for saving me and nursing me through the night. I must have looked like a pathetic fool to her.My forehead heated up like I was having a fever. My skin burned and the water in the bathtub became warm and uncomfortable.Heaving a sigh, I braced up myself and stepped out of the bathtub. I patted my body dry with a towel. Of course, I did it shabbily, I was absent-minded."Damn it! Her virginity was still intact!" I rasped. She was definitely not the same girl I had slept with and she wasn't the one that took
Lian's POV"What are your findings? Father's voice boomed through the air."I haven't found out anything," Logan responded casually."What the heck have you been doing!? This is an urgent matter!? An attempt was made on the Princess' life!" Father said heatedly but Logan remained silent."Why did you visit the hospital?" Father demanded."Beta Peter told you all about it already," Logan responded grudgingly."He said you went there for frivolities, but I think there is more to it," Father said but Logan kept mute."Was it part of your investigation?" Father pressed and Logan said nothing."Why did you interrogate Renae Hart? I heard she is pregnant and you manhandled her. Given the relationship you two shared- she treated you. It's unlike you to do that," Father challenged."How did you know?" Logan responded with surprise but his voice trailed off almost immediately and I couldn't hear him well."I am the Alpha. I have my sources. Why did you question Renae Hart? Does she have anythi
Logan's POVI couldn't believe Lian dragged me down to the woods to show me her wolf. Well, she did well. I was able to take my mind off my worries and enjoyed some exuberance.With the full moon in its full glory and our wolf eyes shining bright. The night was as bright as day. But I knew the night was far spent as we had spent much time in the woods.Realizing we were deep in the woods, I began to lead Lian back. It was time to return home.We raced through the woods like the beast that we are. Our wolves panting and making zoomie moves.Before I knew it, we were back at the field of lilacs and I was standing in front of the cave where it all started. It was where I was saved by a woman and deceived by another.I groaned, relishing my anger. I felt deja Vu down my spine. It all felt like yesterday and I was compelled to revisit the cave- maybe I could remember some of the missing puzzles.Apart from realizing Jennifer's deception, I still needed to track down who poisoned Lian and w
Logan's POV It was dawn and I couldn't feel more grateful when the cock crowed. I had stayed up all through the night wallowing in my worries. It was a sleepless and turbulent night for me. Jennifer could have been my perfect bait. All I needed was to ask her some leading questions, but having known that she was as sly as a fox, she would catch on easily, she would realize that I had caught her. Without putting on the light in my room, I gropped into my bathroom. I spilled some water over my face, brushed my teeth, and changed out of my pajamas. I flipped on my disguise which consisted of an overflowing cloak and a hood. Securing the hood, I made my way out of the palace through the secret tunnel. Guards were securing the secret tunnel, but I knew the security wasn't always tight. I scurried around, making use of the shadows cast by the lamps. In no time I was by the tunnel. As far as my eyes could see, there were only two guards in sight and they were both asleep. Good, I mut
