Author's POV...
Kara approached the council of elders alongside Diana. "You have requested to meet with the great council and claim you have a matter to discuss which is of great importance," one of the elders ascertained. "Yes, sir, it is true. What I am about to say before you is of great significance and might threaten our very own existence," Kara said to the council. "Ok, we are listening," the second elder replied "Sire, I am here to inform you that we have all been lied to, deceived and played by Alpha Logan, who has been running this pack whichever way he sees fit," Kara stated. Her statement raised tension among the elders as they looked at each other and exchanged small talks. "With the help of my faithful, loyal and very good friend, Diana, it has come to our notice that Alpha Logan had lied about banishing Alexa, the daughter of a well-known retard and killerAlexa’s POV...I could not sleep all night as I twisted and curled my body, looking for the perfect sleeping position haunted by nightmares of the past. Last night was one of the longest nights of my life, the loud sounds of the rain falling on my roof and the heavy thunderstorm disrupted my plea for a peaceful rest. The more I moved, the more my lower abdomen hurt. I began to get a vision of my childhood, a vision I best not remember. It haunted me for hours, I prayed for day rise, but it was like the more I prayed for dawn, the further away it became. I was restless throughout the night. A couple of times, I screamed out my lungs in horror and was thankful I was just dreaming.Finally, morning came. My eyes were heavy from not having enough rest from the previous night. I sat on my bed leaning against the wall, scared to death that if I fell asleep, it would be another nightmare playing all over again. The grand maester opened my doors
Author's POV... The day's chores are nearly over, but Selena shivers, remembering that she got three other slaves to put up with. She never thought her life could be as miserable as this. Since Logan separated her from Alexa, her days have been filled with back-breaking work, and her nights have been worse. Every night made it seem like her end was near. As she was back in the slave's room, her three roommates made it a duty to constantly torment and bully her. She never got the strength to fight back as she saw herself being too weak from all the chores, not to talk about all the trauma she faced with her rapists. This night wasn't going to be an exception. Fear grasps her as she hears the laughter of her fellow slave. "Hey...miss Selena..." Diva called out as she stepped into the room. They all walked up to her as she pretended not to hear their conversation. Another of them grabbed her by the hair. "We called you," the second slave said. "I didn't mean to ignore," Selena crie
Author's POV... "What are you hiding from me, Selena?"Shock overshadowed her as she never expected to see him here. Not knowing what to do or how to answer, she began to weep. Simon, looking confused, throws away the knife and pulls her closer in an embrace. He let her cry on him for a minute before questioning her."What the fuck, Selena. Why would you try to do that to yourself?" He asked. She was silent. She didn't want to tell him about the past few days, the beatings, torture, and the countless number of rape. What if he didn't believe her, or worse, went to question the men about it? "What are you hiding from me, Selena?" he asked again."Tell me," he demanded, his tone becoming firmer. Upon seeing that harshness wouldn't get her to talk, Simon decided to try a different approach. Pulling up her face to look at him, he told her. "I don't know what made you distance yourself from me so much, but you must trust me, Selena. Remember, there was once a time you trusted me with
Author's POV...Selena got to the room she shared with those who made her life miserable. Her thoughts trailed as she knew she may not wish to stay here for a very long time. She decided to put on something less exposing right after she washed up. She recalls how Simon pulled her into an embrace while she wept. She couldn't help but smile. Who wouldn't want to be embraced by a Beta? Not just a Beta, a man that is as handsome as the moon, he has a nice body structure. His hands... She imagined those fancy hands of his trailing her bare body. She shivered at the thought of them holding her. She quickly dressed as she heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and a knock on the door followed. "Come in," she said while adjusting her dress.Turning to face the door, she realized it was Simon. Her heart skipped, and her cheeks became hot. Simon came closer just in time to notice her blushing."Why are you smiling?" He asked."Nothing.""We both know that you love hiding things," he answe
Author's POV...Simon decided to take care of her for the main time till she recovered fully. With her still in his arms and holding tight to his shirt, he thought to lecture her on how to defend herself when she was about to be molested."Next time, if there will ever be one, when someone tries to force himself on you, scream out loud. Not only that, I'll teach you some fighting skills which could help you," he said. "But you'll have to rest for a while; you're not ready.""I am," She told him."Not now, Selena. You need to heal first.""Okay," she nodded in agreement."Feel free to ask of anything as long as you're here," he said, " and the bathroom is the other way. Go freshen up, or I could help you with that," his lips curved into a smile.She blushed so hard at the thought of it. Letting his hands work magic on her body would feel good. She was tempted to accept the offer as she hurried into the bathroom.He smiled at her reaction. She gently took off her clothes in the bathroo
Author's POV...Logan walked around his quarters, inspecting the environment. This was also what he enjoyed doing, aside from passing judgements and settling countless disputes.Just as he was about to enter his room, he saw Simon approaching him."How is Selena doing?" He asked."She is fine now, slowly healing," Simon replied. "I came to discuss an issue with you if you don't mind?""Sure, go ahead."He jumped straight to the point. "What's this I hear about you wanting to make Kara Luna?" Logan became speechless. This was why he never wanted Simon to know about the pressure the elders were putting on him. He knew Simon would never agree to it. Slowly turning towards Simon, he could see the anger in his eyes."I never said that, Simon.""You don't need to say anything before the people can predict your next moves, Logan. We both know that Kara isn't capable of becoming a Luna. If you give her any more power than she already has, she will go about killing people just to have her way
Logan’s POV...I have been unable to think straight for a while now, I really needed someone to talk to, but Simon was nowhere to be found; he just deserted me.“How can I get myself together before it’s too late?” I asked myself as my mind wandered across multiple theories, but all were futile and had no happy ending.“Things are falling apart, and if I don’t do anything about it, I will end up losing everything I have and everything I have ever worked for,” I poured myself a cup of wine, staring into a blank space for minutes as I thought of how to make things better.I already knew what to do; I just found it hard to execute. I sighed as I took another sip of my wine; it was like I was beginning to lose my sense of taste; the wine no longer tasted as good as it used to. I guess this was the effect of my current dilemma.I stood up, pouring the
Alexa’s POV...“I will try, forgiveness is a process, and with time, I will try to forgive you,” I replied.Logan moved closer to me, sitting close to me and caressing my hair, I looked straight into his eyes, and I could see the regret in them. He clearly was feeling remorse for how he treated me. Even if I was willing to forgive him at that spot, I was filled with doubt about things that could go south if I let my guard down so easily.Logan sat beside me for the first time in a long time as we both looked into each other’s eyes, and my heart pounded severely as our gazes locked. Logan leaned in and gave me a faint kiss. My heart dived into my stomach as I tried to resist the urge to kiss him more aggressively.“I think we should not be….” I tried to resist before he shut me up with another kiss which felt even more intense than the first time.
