Ethan's P.O.V"What makes you think you can just walk in here and make rules?" Elena demanded hotly. We were out of the pack house now and walking slowly towards the Alpha's manor. "Who do you really think you are, Ethan?""I'm Ethan Bloodmoon, Elena and my orders are clear, you won't be leaving the pack until I find Logan." I replied with a smile. Elena was pissed off. She tried to play it off on the fact that I was limiting her movements but I knew the truth behind her anger. I knew she was only frustrated because she was cornered with no way to reach her brother Axel, who I was positive had taken Logan. "You're not even a pack member here." Elena snapped. "You're just a nobody. There's no way my guards will stand there and watch you give commands and orders as if you're the Alpha here!"I laughed out loud at her statement. "You really think they'll go against me?" I asked her, clearly amused at her ignorance. "I'll order them to attack you if possible." She said with all serio
Ethan's P.O.VThe tracks I followed were quite deceiving and aimed to confuse. Axel had really done his job well. I found myself admiring him. As much as the tracks were confusing and misleading, I followed on, and I believed I was on the right track. My tracking led me further and further away from the pack and deeper into the forest. I was relentless in following up on these tracks no matter how far they took me and that was when I heard voices ahead and I could perceive a fire burning as well. I hurried forward, hoping to find the one whom I sought but when I got closer, I could tell that the men I heard were actually rogues. I quietly approached the rogues until I was just at the edge of the clearing but in the shadows. They were six men altogether and they had set up camp here without even setting up a perimeter. I would have skipped around and went my way without disturbing their little revel but the tracks I followed led me straight to this place. I was sure I would get my an
Elena's P.O.VI sneaked out through the window. I made sure to put on black clothes in order to blend in with the night but before I left, I made sure to pay a visit to the power box down in the basement where I flipped off the lights. I knew that the backup generators would kick off in five minutes tops so I made haste. I quickly sneaked out with relative ease in my black pants and black sweater. The guards were all huddled at a single place where they were chatting away loudly and I slipped away making sure that they didn't catch my scent. I began to walk as fast as I could while at the same time keeping as quiet as possible. I knew that once I entered the forest, I'd be gone for real and my heart yearned for the Forest's embrace and sanctuary. "Going somewhere Elena?" My heart almost stopped and a chill went up my spine. I wheeled around quickly to see him leaning casually against the wall with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry. Didn't mean to startle you." Ethan said sarcastica
Logan's P.O.VMy captors kept me in a spot by day and moved me by night. This continued until we reached our destination which was a huge cave in the mountain side a very long distance from the Ravensong pack. This cave was house to not more than twenty rogues whom I suspected to be Axel's personal army, they were his inner squad ready to do anything for him. Axel had played me earlier like I was a mere toy. My escape was orchestrated by him as a plan to torture me the more. I knew for now that I was indeed hopeless and lost. There was just no way anyone would reach me here in the mountains. I was lost forever. All these only played in my sub consciousness. What really stabbed my heart real deep was the fact that I was kidnapped by Elena's brother which meant that Elena knew about this! She lured me into the forest for her brother. I should never have trusted Elena. I was too stupid and a fool to trust someone with a track record of betrayal and backstabbing, but it was too late n
Isabella's P.O.V"Bella... Bella.. wake up." I opened my eyes to his face looming over mine. His mouth curled into a smile immediately when I opened my eyes. "Rise and shine. Good morning sleeping beauty." Ethan greeted me.Even as I was still dazed by sleep, I blushed at his words slightly and he noticed this too. Leave it for Ethan to notice everything."Don't just blush there, come on. We have a meeting to attend in the next hour." He said.I was left trying to deduce when he had returned. Ethan had a flair for disappearing and appearing whenever he chooses. The man was like a magician. But on the other hand I knew why he was here. The reason for his sudden return was Mila's letter which we received the previous day.As Ethan moved off to take care of other things, I grudgingly rose up from bed. It was way too early in the morning and I had a late night sleep. After Brian had bluntly refused to grant us entrance to see Emily, Taliia and I had returned to a late night party where I
Isabella's P.O.VI turned to Ethan immediately and noticed the smile on his face. "Family reunion?" I asked him with a hard stare on his face."What? Ethan didn't tell you?" His aunt asked immediately."I wanted it to be a surprise for her." Ethan replied with a shrug.Yeah damn right, it is. I said within me. Why would he trick me into attending his family reunion as if I was now part of the family? Well I was, In a manner of speaking but what we shared was a contract marriage, I hoped Ethan wasn't really going too far with this.Ethan's Aunt laughed out loud. "Oo Ethan. Leave it to my nephew to be dramatic." She said, "On the other hand, he's quite a charmer." She gave me a wink."Yea yea. He is." I replied with a forced smile. "Well come on, people are arriving already." The woman invited us in and we got in after her. The hall was wide and beautifully decorated. Paintings hung on the walls along with a chandelier at the center of the ceiling. In the middle of the room was a huge
I felt a smile of giddy happiness stretch across my lips as Logan strolled confidently towards me down the aisle. Yes, he was late, and it wasn't customary for brides to wait for their grooms at the altar, but I couldn't care less. I was finally marrying the man of my dreams, and a little tardiness wasn't going to ruin my day. I expected to see the same look of unbridled joy on Logan's face, or even one interspersed with a mildly nervous expression. When Logan was close enough for me to study, however, the expression on his face wasn't one I could decipher. Our eyes didn't meet as he came to a stop in front of me and the stately priest who cleared his throat self-importantly and began the ceremony."Cutting it pretty close, aren't you?", I joked in a whisper, smiling besottedly at the man who would make me the happiest woman on earth. His eyes stayed firmly affixed on the ground, not even giving the slightest response to my attempt at breaking the sudden tension between us. With a co
It was late evening when I stood from where I'd lain curled up on the wooden floor.Silently, I put my hands up to my hair and tugged, sending the tiny pins holding my hair up in the intricate hairdo pouring to the ground.I tossed the veil pinned to the back of my head away, not even caring where it landed and walked to the small door at the side of the church. The little field outside was deserted and I thanked the Goddess for that. I wasn't sure I would be able to stand seeing any sneering gazes.Thankfully, the church was near one of the woods that bordered Ravensong and my parents pack, Stormfang.With a final gaze at the Ravensong Pack house in the distance, I trudged into the woods, the lengthy train of my dress dragging behind me sluggishly. I walked for what seemed like hours, but was really only just a few minutes.Stormfang was very close to Ravensong. My eyes were swollen with tears and they stung anew whenever I thought of what had happened.I couldn't wait until I was
