** * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
“Lucy?” I muttered
“Logan! What is this I am hearing? Don’t tell me that it is true?” she said and stood up from the bed.
So she is even thinking of the possibility of it being true, someone who is about to become my Luna and yet she doesn’t know what I can do and what I wouldn’t.
She was putting on a skimpy orange gown made of satin material, the gown revealed a lot of her cleavage, it stopped Midway her thighs.
Why do I get the feeling that she is here to seduce me?
She noticed I was checking her out and smiled.
“Logan you can feed on me later, just tell me what exactly is going on here, who spread such news about you”
Feed on her later?
He, I should just pretend like I didn’t hear that.
“It’s Crystal, I don’t understand why she did it” I replied and closed the door.
I looked towards my wardrobe and I could see her luggage.
It looks like she’s going to be staying for a long time.
“Who the hell is Crystal?” she asked me.
Oh! How could I forget that Lucy had not met her before, the last time she was here Crystal still worked at the restaurant.
“She is my personal maid,” I answered.
Her expression changed immediately. She crumpled her face.
“You have a personal maid? Is she a werewolf?” she suddenly asked.
I could sense the jealousy in her tone.
I waved my head in the negative, and she looked relieved to hear that.
“You have to fire her Logan, no one disrespects the Alpha like that, she wants to ruin your reputation” Lucy advised while caressing my face.
It’s strange that my soon-to-be Luna’s touch doesn’t affect me in any way, but whenever I make contact with Crystal, my wolf leaps in excitement.
What should I make out of this?
“I don’t know if it is right to send her way, I already…”
“You have to expel her, Logan, some Alpha’s would even have her killed if they were in your place” Lucy mentioned.
I turn to face the door, debating within myself.
Then I came to the conclusion that Lucy must be right, Crystal has wronged me twice for no good reason, who knows how many more times she will try to damage my reputation.
It’s best I get rid of her from my life, she doesn’t deserve my pity.

** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
I came back from college and lay flat on my bed. It’s been three weeks since I quit working for Logan and I am already running low on cash.
I tried hard to find work but to no avail. Only if I wasn’t in college and I didn’t have a baby to take care of, then it would have been easier for me.
I could have accepted one of the full-time jobs that I had found.
Part-time jobs are very difficult to find and the few I found paid very little money.
There is no way I could take care of myself and my baby with the little they offered.
To make things worse, Aidan has a super appetite, he consumes a lot of food and I can’t blame him because he’s a werewolf. An Alpha’s baby at that, it was completely normal.
I walked to my little cupboard where I keep his milk, it was almost out.
What do I do now?
I have bothered my step parents a lot in the past and I’m sure they won’t want to help me again, my own parents do not even want to see me and I don’t understand why.
I had chosen this for myself, so I have to bear the consequences. Staying away from Logan was the only way I could protect myself from my baby.
I don’t know what his motives are but if he could make me lose my job and ask his servants to bully me, then he can do worse than that.
I closed the cupboard and went into the kitchen. I warmed the leftover food.
Let’s hope that it will be enough for Aidan today. He could eat it after he comes back from school. As for me, I have no other choice but to go hungry for the rest of the day.
If I don’t do it that way, my cash will run out completely soon and Aidan and I would starve.
I don’t know where else to seek a job, I can’t go back to my job at the restaurant and even if I could, it’s just a matter of time before Logan asks my boss to fire me again.
I checked the time and it was past 3 p. m.
Aidan will be back from school soon, I had pleaded with my neighbor who has a kid in the same school to pick Aidan up along with his son, that will help me save cash for transport
My life has become very difficult!!

Back at the castle, Logan felt bad that he had to fire Crystal. Even though he despised her, he felt guilty because he had taken her first job away from her.
He just couldn’t understand why Crystal did what she did. He considered calling her back but then he wouldn’t want to hurt Lucy’s feelings by doing so
Lucy had been with him in the Castle for weeks now.
At work Logan also missed having Crystal around him, she was always very efficient with work and at the castle too, she would always take good care of him and now no matter how hard the other maids tried, he feels that they are not good enough.
The worst part of it was that even though he claimed to despise her, he badly desired Crystal, he could not stop thinking of her or the intimate moment that they shared.
Even though he had been mating with Lucy within those days, he never got the satisfaction he received from just kissing Crystal.
Logan already knew that Lucy was not his destined mate, it was just an arranged marriage, but neither was Crystal.
She was a human and the Moon goddess has no control over the lives of humans, so why does she make him feel this way?
Lucy on her own side was vain. Her only desire was to bear a pup for the Alpha so that she could secure her position as Luna, and mother to the Future Alpha.
She was not really in love with Logan. As an Alpha’s daughter, she believed she had to be great and what better way is there than becoming the Luna of the most powerful pack in California.
The Luna of Alpha Logan Stewart!
His pack was the largest in the country, and even though most of the 21st century werewolves live their lives more like humans, they were still very recognised by the other wolf clans.
