After the college hours were over, Crystal and Michael walked out of the school gate and bade each other goodbye.
Just then, Logan arrived at the school gate, he was in time to see Crystal and Michael walking together before they parted ways. Michael went in a different direction.
Logan ordered his driver to stop at the spot where Crystal was standing and the driver obeyed immediately.
Seeing Crystal with another male made jealousy scorch his heart, he never imagined that it would hurt him this much just to see her with another man. So what if he actually saw them holding hands or maybe kissing, then he would have certainly killed the other male.
It was very clear to him now that he was in love with this woman, but why was he so possessive of her?
In his heart, he felt like she was meant for him. But how could she be the one? She was just human and his Wolf did not recognise her as his mate.
Not like it matters anyway, he has never cared what the animal wants, he never listened to it, so the creature was forced to go to slumber.
Other Alphas’ shared deeper connections with their wolves, but despite being an Alpha, he enjoyed living like a human. Maybe that is why he was attracted to this human, because he was more human now.
He handled more of his business in the human territory than the pack business which he left for his Beta and Gamma to handle.
Logan came down from the car in his exquisite three thousand dollar suit. Everyone passing by were left drooling at the mesmerizing sight of the god-like man, even Crystal fell into a daydream at the sight of him.
* * * * *
She knew he must have gone home earlier, because this wasn’t the attire he was wearing when she saw him earlier in the morning.
Her jaws slacked in amazement but she quit drooling when she saw the angry face of the Alpha Wolf.
“Who was he?”
That was the first statement he made after alighting from the car.
Crystal was surprised by the unexpected query. At first, she did not know who he was talking about.
“Um… Who was who?” She asked back and Logan growled.
“The guy you were walking with? The one that just left,” he said pointing towards the direction Micheal had gone.
Crystal realized that he was talking about Michael who was already out of sight, he had left moments ago before Logan arrived but what puzzled her most was the look in his eyes. He was jealous!
She kind of liked the idea that she made him jealous, but if he was jealous then perhaps he was really in love with her.
Could she have been blind not to see this all this while or were her assumptions wrong
She was just scared of making the same mistake she had made in the past.
“Answer me Crystal,” Logan growled.
* * * * *
Even though he was trying to control his emotions, following the previous night’s event, it was not easy for him. He couldn’t stand the thought of Crystal being with some other man.
“Relax Logan, he’s just a friend I met today. A new classmate”
* * * * *
Crystal did not want to go into details.
If the Alpha Wolf was jealous, just because he saw them walking together, then she imagined what he would do if he found out that the two of them were together last night, and they had a pleasant dinner.
She wouldn’t want him to know that the guy she met recently had already been allowed into her house, while he had known her for a long time, she never let him in.
That would have raised suspicions and Crystal did not want any drama this afternoon
“Are you sure about that?” Logan asked, with a searching face.
* * * * *
Even though she had told him the previous night that he had no right to question her, he still found himself doing just that and he couldn’t help it.
He intended to show her how much he loved her and was determined to have her.
“Yes boss, he’s just a friend… Trust me,” Crystal smiled.
She had teasingly called him boss to remind him of his position.

Meanwhile, Crystal’s step mother had caught a glimpse of Alpha Logan’s car when he drove off earlier that morning. That was after Logan had picked Crystal up at home.
Her step mother had informed her husband and it made the both of them wonder what relationship their step daughter shared with the Alpha.
They thought of a way to find out and decided to come to her school. As a back-up plan to get the Alpha’s attention, they brought Aidan with them.
Even though Crystal had clearly told them that she didn’t want Alpha Logan to find out the existence of his first son- Aidan Stewart!
However her step parents had plans of their own and they were determined to achieve it even if it had to be at the cost of little Aidan’s life.
When they had arrived close to the school gate, they were just on time to see Logan and Crystal standing closely beside the Alpha’s car.
Her stepmother looked at her mate and he smiled, then passed some inaudible messages to her.
They knew if they went to Crystal with Aidan, she would blame them for exposing her secret. So in order to get the Alpha’s attention, without losing Crystal’s trust, they came up with a clever plan.
They made Aidan see his mum and asked him to call out to her from the other side of the rowdy road, while they stood beside him, pretending like they could not see her.
* * * * *
Crystal was discussing with the Alpha when she heard Aidan’s little voice calling out to her. She felt her heart jump that very moment.
Aidan? Where was he and what was he doing here?
“Mommy!!” Aidan shouted from the other side of the road.
“Did you hear that?” Logan asked and he shook her head nervously in denial.
She tried to give her step parents eye signals to take Aidan away but she realized that they could not see her, they were looking around in search of her while Aidan kept screaming her name.
Logan was about to turn around and look to his back where the couple were standing.
Crystal knew that if he saw Aidan, her game would be over instantly. The Alpha would certainly recognise his son, given that Aidan was calling Crystal mummy.
Her heartbeat picked race and fear gripped her body. She was confused and had no idea what to do to stop Logan from seeing Aidan, then an idea crossed her mind.
It was her last chance and she had to do it.
