** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
I was through with work in the kitchen, but Lucy had not stopped calling, she had already given me twenty-nine missed calls.
When I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to answer her call and warn her off.
I clicked on the green button and her voice came in, raging like a psychopath
“Hey! How dare you hang up on me? What gives you the right to do so?”
“Quit rattling and also, stop disturbing me! I already told you that I am not interested in working for your mate, so please let me be” I retorted
“And I already told you that you don’t have a choice, you are going to resume work immediately, that’s final!”
I was shocked at her audacity. Who does she think she is to make such demands? Queen Elizabeth?
“What exactly are you going to do to me if I don’t, you can’t control my life and I owe you nothing, so why do you think I would obey you?”
I could hear her chuckle from the other side of the phone. An evil chuckle!
“If I don’t see you at the castle this evening, then I will find you and kill you. You can take my word for it, it won’t take me more than 2 days to find you or your house, your family. I could do terrible things to them so think about it before you make a decision,” she threatened and hanged up
My heart started to beat fast after hearing her mention the word family. All I could think of is Aidan!
What if she meant her words?
What if she finds out about Aidan?
What if she hurts him?
These wolves can be heartless at times, so I have this feeling that she meant her words.
But what exactly does she want from me?
Why does she suddenly want me to come back and work for Logan?
How is she supposed to gain from that?
I am scared of going back there for so many reasons. The first is that…
I don’t trust their intentions towards me, especially Logan.
The second and most important is that…
I don’t want Logan to discover the existence of my baby, or he will kill my innocent child.
The third reason is that…
I don’t trust my heart around him, even though I don’t want to be with him. I try to despise him but the moment he gets close to me, I get intoxicated by his presence and that’s when my mind goes dumb.
Just a little touch from him weakens my body and forces me to submit to his control. His blue eyes make my mind freeze and my body shiver.
As much as I hate to admit it, his presence has a lot of effect on me. I can’t deny that.
But yet, there are reasons why I also needed to go back to that job.
I needed to continue that work because I need the money desperately, and I wouldn’t get a better opportunity than that.
Also, being close to Logan might help me find out his real intentions. He said he doesn’t enjoy fighting with me, and that he cares about me, but how true are his words? And why do I have the urge to find out?
It doesn’t matter what he thinks of me, if he finds out about Aidan, then I’m sure that he is certainly going to kill him.
** ** ** **
I lay on my little bed and faced the ceiling. I was in deep thought…
Maybe I should go back to the castle. I mean whether I like it or not, whether I stay close to Logan or far away from him, it doesn’t change the fact that Logan is my baby’s daddy.
I groaned, feeling confused. I was at a crossroad right now, any decision I take would have consequences but which is better to choose…
After thinking it through for an hour, I decided to go and meet Lucy. I can’t risk my family’s life. These werewolves have made life really miserable for me.
** ** ** ** ** **
Even though the weather was hot, I felt like taking a hot shower, so I did just that…
The heat from the water to my skin reminded me of how Logan’s touch makes my body feel. I wish I could resist submitting to his touch.
After dressing up, I hurried to the castle. I knew Logan would still be at work by that time, so I wanted to be out of there before he returns.
Arriving at the castle, I called Lucy and she instructed me to come to Logan’s sleeping chamber.
I walked into that hallway and a feeling of nostalgia washed through me. I don’t understand why!
It’s only been a few weeks since the last time I walked through this hallway, but now it feels like I have returned after so many years.
I knocked at the bedroom door, there was no response for a few minutes so I went ahead to knock a second time.
Just then, I had a sluggish “come inside”. It was Lucy’s voice.
I pushed the door open and walked in, she was lying comfortably on Logan’s bed. Dressed in nothing more than a big baggy shirt and undies.
Seeing her on Logan’s bed made me feel jealous, but why should I be? Logan and I are not even a thing and I… I don’t like him!
That bed also reminded me of the first time Logan tried to be intimate with me, after he had returned from Asia.
He had almost succeeded that day as my clothes were almost off. I’m glad I was able to stop him on time.
“So have you come to a decision?” Lucy asked, while scrolling through her phone.
She was not even looking in my direction. So disrespectful!!
“Yes, I will do it!” I said in a mutter.
It was really difficult agreeing to that, but I had to do it for my son.
“Good, I am glad you have come to your senses. Resume as soon as Monday and listen attentively, if you try to spread such unfavorable news about Logan again, then I will kill you!
I don’t care if it’s true or false but the moment you try to tarnish his reputation or betray me, then trust me I will end your life, is that clear?”
I growled inwards. This lady is threatening me a lot, does she think I am that helpless?
If it wasn’t for Aidan’s safety, then I wouldn’t be here. I mean if it was just me, then her threats mean nothing to me, they don’t scare me.
“Yes,” I muttered reluctantly.
“Good, you may leave!” She said smugly, and waved her hand at me in a disrespectful manner.
I hissed softly. Although I am sure she had it, she is a werewolf after all.
I opened the door and walked out to The long hallway. Before I could get to the main door, the lights went off leaving me in darkness.
I quickly dipped my hand into my handbag, searching for my phone but I couldn’t find it.
Oh great! I had connected it to a charger back at home, I must have left it behind.
There were no windows in the hallway which made the place very dark in the absence of light.
I wonder what caused the power outage.
I started to take steps slowly, one leg after the other and suddenly I bumped into something, not actually something but someone.
I couldn’t see his face because it was dark but I am certain it was a man.
My heartbeat started racing. Could it be him?
Alpha Logan Stewart?? I hope not.
To be continued!!
