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. The warmt
Alexa's POV...It was morning already. Yesterday night was wild, Logan slept in my room, and we both fell asleep naked after so many rounds. I was unwilling to wake up early because of how my body hurt. Even when Logan got up, I remained in bed, partially conscious.Logan kissed my forehead and caressed my hair, "good morning, my love. I have to go and attend to some things now, but I will keep to the promises I made to you. There'll be a surprise waiting for you when you get up."He must have thought I was fully awake because of how I tossed and turned, but I wasn't. I could hear him, but I was too tired to respond, so all I let out was, "hmmm..." before I turned in another direction.He smiled, giving me another kiss before leaving the room.Last night seemed so strange to me. I still wondered his reason for coming to apologize to me all of a sudden. I still wondered why he wished to make amends.Not long
Alexa's POV...I thought about all the things Selena had said concerning the elders being obsessed with making Kara their Luna. If they keep mounting the pressure on Logan, it won't be long until he capitulates to their request. He will be forced to lock me up all over again. Is it just me, or have we been going in circles? I shook my head; no, not this time, I am going to make the first move, and I won't be a pun in this game."What did Logan say about their request?" I asked inquisitively."He asked the elders to give him more time before he has to make his decision," Selena responded. Now it all makes sense. Logan feels guilty about having to marry Kara, and he knows he does not have much time left, so he decides to come to make peace with me. Selena noticed how my mood changed immediately after telling me about the elders' ambition to force Logan's hand into marrying Kara."What is the problem? You have been
Logan's POV...I thought it best to make things right and be at peace with the people who meant the most to me. I started by settling my differences with Alexa, and finally, we are on the same page once again, so this leaves me with Simon. He is mad at me cause of my poor judgement, and how it had affected Selena, someone Simon really cared about. I don't blame him; I would react the same way, too, if it were me, who would not?I walked to Simon's chambers and knocked on the door, still unsure about what I was going to say to him, but I still proceeded. I guess I hoped I would put my words together in the heat of the moment."Who is there?" Simon asked."Hey bro, it's me," I replied. This was the only answer my brain could come up with at the moment.I walked into the room, and I found Simon sitting. He tried not to pay any attention to me."What do you want, Logan?" Simon grumbled.
Author's POV...With the expectation that Kara would become queen, Alexa's disappearance was no longer a shock in the pack. However, this got the elders wondering who could have helped her escape. They decided to find out how and the reason behind her escape."Who could have helped Alexa escape?" elder Marcus asked."We are all surprised as you are," elder Daniel replied."We need not worry. The Alpha will be the best person to give us a better answer," Albert, the eldest of all the elders, replied."Also, the Alpha hasn't given us a reply about making Kara his Luna," elder Daniel reminded."I am sure he has his reasons," elder Albert said."What reasons? He is well aware of the pack's traditions; every Alpha needs a Luna for himself. Without a Luna, he is incomplete." elder Daniel stated.All elders had agreed and picked Kara to be the next Luna of the pack. Despite her attitude, they all saw her fit. They all felt the pack woul
Logan's POV...I got back to my quarters to relax after the meeting. The next couple of days would be stressful, no doubt, so I had to prepare myself for it. I sighed at the thought of what I was about to do, something I thought I would never do in all my years of being an Alpha; turn against Kara. I had avoided doing this for so long, but I had no choice at this point. I sure as hell didn't want to marry that witch, and I'd already lost Alexa. I couldn't lose Simon too. Regarding settling the elders' complaints, I have pondered and contemplated it for the past few days; the only way to resolve this without giving them what they want would be if the elders rejected Kara themselves. I have to make them see her in a bad light. They would never force me to marry her if they knew who she was. Exposing Kara was the last resolve, and I had only three days to do it, so I had to act fast. Alexa or not, I never wanted Kara to be my Luna. She was evil. I had tried to explain this to Simon be
Author's POV...Upon letting Kara know his intentions, Logan wasted no time. Before she retaliated, he called some trusted guards in the corridor near her room. "Yes sir," three of them answered. "None of you should dare to disobey me. I will chop off your heads if you do. Am I clear?" Logan said. "Yes, Alpha," they chorused. "She is there now. Go in and take her to one of the secret cells. No one will be able to see or hear her there, and you must do everything possible to ensure that the news of her arrest does not spread. Apart from us, no one must know, especially the elders," Logan instructed. After giving his command, he stood by the side, watching them enter the room to retrieve a screaming Kara. Her mouth was hurriedly covered, and she was forced to inhale from a white handkerchief to be sedated. This was all to ensure she didn't make a sound. Alpha nodded as the guards lifted her body and carried her through a small passage he had intentionally cleared to ensure no one
