** * * * *Lucy’s POV * * * * *
I paced around in the room after Logan walked out on me.
I can’t believe what has happened. The strange scent on him and the look in his eyes prove that he was with someone else, but which female will dare to seduce my soon-to-be mate?
I won’t spare whoever it was that did this. I have been working so hard to get Logan to bed, I just want to bear pups for him, so that my position as Luna will be assured.
Now some random wolf comes out of nowhere and tries to rob me of that. I can’t sit back and watch that happen, she has to be punished severely for that.
After pondering over it for a while, I walked out of the bedroom.
Logan must be in the sitting room. I walked out of the long corridor and passed the sitting room, I could hear some sounds coming from the sitting room which means Logan was still awake.
I didn’t bother to check on him. I will deal with him later, right now I need to take care of the female that dared to seduce him. I see she has a deathwish, and I will grant her wish.
I walked out of the main building into the large compound. The whole place was very dark already, if not for the little light the stars emitted, the moon has already hidden its face.
There was no one out in the compound, but I had my doubts that whoever seduced Logan had left. She has to be somewhere in here.
I should probably ask the lazy gateman, he might have seen something.
I walked to his little cottage. The door was already locked from the inside.
What a foolish man! His job description is not just to close and open the gate, he was also a security guard so he has to stay up all night and guard the castle, not sleep like a log of wood.
I knocked loudly on his door but there was no reply. He must be in deep sleep. I had to knock two more times before he opened the door.
He walked out, rubbing his eyes with his palm to get rid of the sleepiness.
“Good evening ma’am,” he greeted.
I replied to his greeting with a tight slap that produced a loud sound. He staggered back almost falling down, then he grabbed the door frame to support himself. The sleepiness must have left his eyes by force.
I was a werewolf and he was human, so I’m sure that my slap must have hurt him badly. I don’t care anyway.
He looked up at me with a teary eye. If I wasn’t so angry right now, then I might have burst into laughter.
The poor man was about to spill tears over a single slap, how pathetic!!
“What were you doing? Sleeping when you should be on duty, I see. It’s because Logan treats you all like family, so now you have forgotten your place and your duty in this Castle” I barked.
“I’m sorry ma’am, it won’t happen again” he said in an unstable voice.
“It better not!!”
Even though it was dark, I could still see the red mark my slap had left on his cheeks.
“Did you see any strange female in here tonight? Or see Logan with anyone tonight?” I queried
“No… No Ma’am!!” He replied almost immediately.
“Foolish, how would you see them if you are busy sleeping” I cursed.
I quit wasting my time with the fool and continued my search for the seductress.
I won’t sleep peacefully tonight if I don’t spill her blood. I went to the servants quarters but they had all gone to bed.
I walked around the little building but there was no one there.
The garden!!
I think they might have met in the garden. What better place to have a secret romantic affair if not in the cover of flowers, they could hide themselves in its shade and scent. I might find her there, or at least something that would lead me to her.
I walked to the garden and searched the whole place but once again I was disappointed.
I decided to go back to the servant’s quarters and search their rooms one after the other.
I didn’t find any stranger there and I knew none of the servants was beautiful enough to attract Logan, that is if they even had the nerve to stare at him, talk more of seduce him.
So who could it be then?
After I had searched the entire Castle with no success, I dismissed the servants and sent them back to bed.
I headed back for the main mansion but halfway through, I caught a strange scent. Feminine to be precise!!
“Bitch!” I muttered.
It must be her. I followed the scent quickly and it led me to the backyard. My eyes darted around in the darkness and I found the intruder.
She was on a white shirt which made it easier for me to detect her. The werewolf took off the moment she saw me and I ran after her, she jumped out of the broken fence behind and I followed suit.
Before long I caught up with her. It wasn’t that difficult, I was an Alpha’s daughter and she was of lower rank.
I grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the floor.
“Let me go!” she screamed while trying to break free from my clutch.
“If you think you can seduce my mate and get away with it, then you are wrong, I won’t let that happen” I yelled as I choked her on the throat.
She tried to speak but I didn’t give her a chance to. Soon she quit struggling and passed out, but I knew she could wake up later so I went further to break her neck.
Making sure that she was dead, I dragged her lifeless body to the woods and disposed of it there.
Now that’s how far I can go to keep the position of Luna to myself, whoever stands against me or tries to steal my mate would have to pay with their life.
I walked back to the Castle feeling satisfied. When I got in front of the main building, Logan was standing there.
Was he waiting for me?
“Lucy, where did you go and… And whose scent is on you?” He queried.
So he is the only one allowed to go out and come back with a stranger’s scent?
“It’s nothing Logan, and I apologize for my behavior earlier”
“Come on Lucy, you don’t need to apologize, let’s go to bed,” he said with a smile.
Thank god he wasn’t suspecting me. But if I go with him, he will detect the blood on me and might raise questions which I wouldn’t be able to answer.
“You can go on Logan, I will join you soon” I said
“Are you sure everything is alright?” He asked with wrinkled eyebrows.
“Yes totally!” I gave an assuring smile.
“Alright then, I’ll go to bed now,” he concluded and I nodded.
He turned around and walked in. I sighed in relief.
Once again, I was at peace. Logan is mine today and forever. No one can take that from me.
To be continued!!
