Logan's POVI launched out of the cave like lightning. My body was ridden in pain and I couldn't contain my rage, all I saw was red.No doubt, if I set my eyes on Jennifer, I would tear her into pieces. She played me for a fool and rubbed it on my face. I tried to mind-link Renae but I knew that it was of no use, she wouldn't answer. Earlier when she mind-linked me, it felt so close that I thought she was standing beside me and speaking out loudly.I didn't even know if she was doing fine or not. It was pure torture. It was better when I didn't know the truth, now I knew and I couldn't stay calm. My mate and child are missing… they are in danger.How did I miss the signs? It was Renae Hart all along. She was close to me and I didn't know. Remembering how I had bashed her on two different occasions when I went to interrogate her, my heart sank. I wondered how she must have felt. Different scenes flashes through my head and I gnash my teeth.I tore down my courtyard frantically and a
Logan's POVMy hands were covered with blood. The blood was a mixture of Mr Hart's blood and mine. I was shaking violently as I hit the oak tree non-stop.Some stranger rescued Renae? Who could it be? That old hag, he surely knows something. It isn't over, I would surely get the truth out of him.Suddenly, a hand seized my arm as I aimed at the oak tree again.Turning around, I beheld about four guards. They were my father's men."Let me go!" I yelled, trying to free myself but I knew it was of no use.They grabbed me and I cooperated as they bundled me down to my chambers.They pulled me in and bowed before taking their leave."Bastards! What a mocking bow!" I yelled after them."Get me some water," I commanded coldly. A few minutes later, my guards brought a bowl of water down to me. I washed off my bloody hands and wiped them dry.Earlier, it seemed that my father caught on that I was responsible for Renae's pregnancy. He must have figured it out because of my outburst.Fuck! I sh
Renae's POVI was almost sleeping off when a voice woke me up."Renae, Renae, are you there?"My eyes widened as I realized who it was. It was Prince Regan. He must have figured it out after I mind-linked him earlier."... I know you can hear me… I am really sorry for not recognizing you…I just found out the truth today. You should have come to me. You should have told me…why did you keep to yourself? Did Jennifer has dirt on you? Did she threaten you not to talk? Are you there? Please talk to me…" he said and waited for my response. But when I did not talk, he continued."Where are you? I will find you and our baby. Are you safe? I heard a stranger rescued you from your father…." He continued on and on. Funnily, I felt a sense if comfort and relief and in no time, I fell asleep while he was still talking.*****It was dawn and I was just waking up. I felt a tap on my leg and I jumped up from my sleep. I was surprised and alarmed to see the Princess.She flicked on the oil lamp in my
Jennifer's POVI hid myself in a suitable spot while my men went into the Princess' chambers. I had waited for the Princess' to leave before I launched my attack. I had decided to get the small doctor after the Princess had left for her hunting.My father and I had made a league this morning. While l led some men to finish up Renae and the head-maid who snitched on the Princess, my father sent some of his men to the Pack's hospital.He was worried that if left to live, Renae's father would open up about the person who rescued Renae. We had a perfect scenario to pin his death without any stress.Although we did not know how the Princess had Renae in her custody, if the Princess was the one who rescued her, it would be complicated. It was better to silence the man before he revealed it.With the man gone, the Princess won't be able to reveal that Renae was with her all the while even after we killed her up. We could hold it as a leverage against the Princess and control her to do our bi
Lian's POV"Cover the Princess!" A soldier yelled as an arrow flew past the side of my face."Go low!" Noel screamed and I bent while the horse sped off. Right behind me was Noel. Suddenly, the sound of his horse's hooves ceased and just as I turned around. A loud cry tore through the woods. "Noel!" I yelled in horror as Noel tumbled down his horse bleeding profusely with an arrow buried in his chest.Shit! Noel took the hit for me. With the speed of light, I jumped down from my horse and squatted beside him.Soldiers circled us in formation all aiming wide."Noel! Stay with me!" I yelled as his eyes began to flutter."Logan! Noel was hit by an arrow. Return now," I mind linked Logan, I was shaking violently and I knew I was barely audible."Alpha Noel!? Was he in the hunting ground?" Logan yelled. Fear evident in his voice.I was too flustered to talk. I mumbled frantically not knowing what to do. Noel was bleeding and his consciousness was draining away. We prepared well for the e
Logan's POV"Father, Alpha Noel was shot by an arrow at the hunting ground. I am not sure if he took the hit for Lian or if he was the target. You shouldn't have allowed him to join us," I mind linked my father as the horse galloped out of the woods."What!" Father thundered."We are on our way to the hospital.""What about Lian!?" Father yelled."She is in the company of the soldiers and guards. They are heading back to her chambers.""Good, I will send more soldiers her way. Luna Nina would be waiting at her chambers. Do not expose Noel's identity. I will head down to the hospital right away. Reduce the number of horse riders escorting you," father instructed.I dropped a veil over Noel's face and we proceeded into the hospital.A gunnery was already waiting. Noel was retrieved from the horse and placed on the gunnery. I remained beside him as he was taken down to the royal center of the hospital.When we got in, they stopped me from entering the theater.I waited in the waiting roo
Renae's POVWe had not covered much distance when my ears caught certain strange noises within nearby bushes. At first I discarded it thinking it was some animal. But the sound grew louder and louder.June and I locked gazes and we began to walk faster."How far away are we from the secret path?" I demanded."Not too far away. Hurry!!" She yelled looking back. We began to run but I couldn't do much.My ears twitched and it was like the whole forest became alive and it was in pursuit."Eden? Eden?" I tried to mind link him but there was no response.I was getting tired as the terrain was hilly."June I can't do it anymore," I said and fell on my butts."Renae, please someone is following us. Let's…" she was still speaking when I heard a swoosh from the side of the bush.It was a fierce looking man. In his hands were weapons. He approached us aggressively and I knew there was no escape. He was sent to take me down. By who? The question rang in my head.June crept towards me. She stood i
Jennifer's POV It turned out that Lian wasn't a spoiled brat like I had thought. Who could believe that that hunter of a girl would have the nerve to keep Renae in her custody? She was brazen enough to make her roam about freely.Renae could have been caught. Is she wise or reckless? I had my suspicions, I was just too slow to act. It would have been a different ball game if I had revealed Renae's identity. Renae would have been branded as a criminal, despite her acclaimed pregnancy. Lian would have been penalized for harboring a criminal and the Prince would have also been downgraded for impregnating a commoner. I would have been able to crush the three all at once. All ll I needed now was for Renae to disappear. I don't need her pheromones anymore. My aphrodisiac incense and my baby were all I needed to get Logan under my feet. I smiled, caressing the lump growing in my stomach. Walking out of my room, I looked at the entrance earnestly, waiting for reports. Who knew that sl
