Author's POV... ***TEN MONTHS LATER***Selena sat at the edge of the bed. It was a small medical unit in the pack house, and she had just been briefed by the doctor during her final session. After months of therapy, he told her she was fine and ready to go on with her normal life. She could feel her inner wolf longing to be out in the open and enjoy the serenity that the forest offered, to breathe in the sweet-smelling air of the forest and bask in the warm sun rays. According to Alexa's request made before she left, Alpha Logan checked up on her occasionally to ensure she was fine. It's been so long, but she missed Alexa a lot and wished terribly that she was right there with her. Therapy had taken a whole lot of time for Selena, but now she was healed. She was ready for things to go back to normal. She missed dining with the other wolves and couldn't wait to begin training with the guards, as Simon had set her up for self-defence lessons. Her life was fine now, but it still felt

Logan's POV...The air was a little warm, and although I was a good distance away from the kitchen, I could still smell the odd aroma of raw meat being fried. The smell of burnt blood did things to my nostrils that I could not just explain. Maybe it appealed to my inner wolf.I had missed dinner with the rest of my men at the pack dining room. I was more concerned with my heart, which was beating a little out of control, than my grumbling stomach.Simon had joked once or twice about my current state of loneliness and how he thought it was affecting my productivity - whatever that meant. To me, I was doing perfectly alright, and there was no reduction in my productivity. I trained when I had to, I was always available for patrols, I did rounds in the territory and I tried to make sure everything was perfect. I still could not understand why Simon thought I was not performing at my best.Simon tried all he could to cheer me up, but I noticed that Simon and

Logan's POV...I could categorically say that the event was a success. Or at least, even if it was not as successful as I thought it would be, it was not a total failure like the fear I had pictured in my mind.It was past midnight when I finally retired to my chambers, but I was not alone; I was with a woman, finally.The night had been swift; there was no drama and even for the large number of women that assembled, I was surprised that it was not a total madhouse. They were well-behaved and impeccably mannered. I could even confess without feeling too guilty that one or two of them actually caught my eye.From the beginning of the event, I tried to ensure that not too much alcohol went around; I had learnt pretty early that women and alcohol were not such a good mix, especially when there was such an amount together in one place.The men that mounted the gate ensured everyone who came in had their IV with them. The men, of course, attempted

Alexa's POV...Alvin, my baby, my joy, my pride, my world had just turned one month, and it was a big deal for me. Most times, Ginny made fun of how much I dotted on him, that I was smothering him with attention, and it was not the best thing to do.But then, I could not quite understand her. How could I stay away from my baby when I had waited a full nine months just to meet him? But she was right; in just a matter of one month, I had lost so much weight that the elephant weight I was concerned about putting on was no longer an issue; I had lost all the extra weight.This, according to Ginny, was because I was not taking good care of myself anymore, I was missing my meals just to make sure that the baby was not awake and looking for me, and she also pointed out that since I was breastfeeding, I had to eat enough and healthy for the both of us.In my defence, I tried, but then it was difficult to look away from the child, from such cuteness that he exuded

Logan's POV...I could finally admit to myself that I was getting miserable. All the men I had to send out to search for Alexa returned with anything but the woman herself.It was getting increasingly uncomfortable for me, and the council members had somehow gotten air of the fact that I was still looking for Alexa. The elders had sent someone to me for a meeting later that evening, but I had no intentions of showing up.Selena and Simon were both very supportive. Selena had taken it upon herself to travel to other territories, which she thought were the possible places where Alexa would settle down because she had always mentioned how much she loved to visit the other packs. However, nobody knew if she was there because they were yet to find her.I was short of posting her face on paper, writing missing person and pasting it all over and beyond. It seemed like some force in the universe was very bent on separating us. It was like the more I searched, the
