* * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
I sat on my bed and sighed in relief after Lucy had left.
I am glad that I was able to convince her, I had to lie and say terrible things about crystal just to save her life.
I could see the anger and hatred in Lucy’s eyes, if I had not stopped her, she would have gone ahead and killed Crystal.
I regret every word I said. I could never think of Crystal as a substitute, she was the only one I really wanted, but society and choices that my late parents made can’t let us be together.
I could also never think of hurting Crystal or killing her baby like I had promised to Lucy, if in any way Crystal should conceive a child for me, I would accept him or her.
I would not care what society would say or what rules I have to break but I would never abandon my baby’s mother, especially when it’s the woman I love so much. I just don’t know what to do.
Should I go ahead and cancel the deal my parents had with the Crescent Moon Pack?
Doing that would create a new meeting between the two packs and I don’t want that, I haven’t been the best Alpha lately when it comes to handling the Pack’s issues, I have been running away from my responsibilities so it would not be fair if I also got them involved in a war which they are not to be blamed for.
I stood up from the bed and walked into my dressing cabinet. I slipped out of the formal wear and wrapped a robe around my body then I sluggishly pulled myself into the bedroom.
I drowned myself in the jacuzzi, lost in my own thoughts. Why does love have to be so difficult?
Why are lovers always bound to suffer?

* * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
Logan and I had returned from the office, he went to his chambers while I went to take my wages from Mr Noah.
Arriving there, I found out that Mr Noah was out and according to the gateman, he would be back in minutes.
I decided to go to Logan’s Chambers and wait for him there. I could also use the opportunity to spend more time with Logan.
In fact, I think I should tell him about Aidan right now.
It’s obvious that he really loves me, he has proven that to me. Even after we had sex yesterday, I was scared that history would repeat itself, but he was still nice to me and confessed his love over and over again.
Today at his office, he kissed me so passionately that I am dying to have more of his lips. I could never get enough of that taste of liquor and mint.
I walked into the hallway leading to Logan’s Chambers, a few steps away from his bedroom, I heard some voices.
One of them I recognised as Logan and the other as Lucy’s voice.
So that witch is back?
Well, I should go and see how Logan reacts to her.
This would probably be his last test to know if he really loves me, if he passes this one… Then I will tell him about Aidan right away.
But what am I even expecting him to do? Send her away?
Well, that won’t be right as it would cause conflicts in the Pack.
I got close to the door and froze on the line of words that I heard. I could not believe my ears, I must have heard wrong..
No… No, no. This can’t be true! Logan will never say things like that.
I was still trying not to believe that I heard him call me a sex tool, a substitute for Lucy, when his next line of words struck me.
“I would only accept the baby born for me by you and would kill any baby that she gives birth to.”
I felt pain engulf my chest, the pain of betrayal
Tears trickled down my eyes. I can’t believe that Logan did this to me, he had you used me for the second time!
This is what I feared, this is why I had refused to give in to him all this while, but that is not what hurt me the most.
What pained me the most was that he had threatened to kill any of his babies born by me, which means like I had feared, my Aidan’s life is not safe.
My suspicions were always true. How could I let myself be deceived a second time?
More salt was added to my injury when I heard them talking dirty and kissing. Why are men like this?
They consider women as toys for satisfaction that they could use and dump whenever and however they wish. This was all my fault, I should have never believed his lies in the first place.
Unable to stand the scene, I turned around and ran out of his chambers in tears.
Just an hour ago, he had made me smile and now he has hurt me again.
Why do men have to do this? Why do they make it so hard to trust them?
Just when you decide to put your faith in them, they will betray you.
I thought he was really in love with me, the way he had made love to me the other day, I couldn’t think otherwise.
Silly me, I even felt bad for having to make him wait for so long and this is what I get in return.

I went back to the servants quarters. Mr Noah was now available, I took my pay from him and walked out feeling bitter.
I wish I could just quit this job right now and never come back, but then what happens to my Aidan? How would I take care of his expenses?
As I was leaving the servant’s quarters, I saw Simon: the pack’s gamma mumbling inaudible words to himself. It seems like he was pissed off about something, but that’s none of my business.
I came in front of the main castle, and contemplated if I should go and tell Logan that I was going.
No! There is no need for that and I don’t even want to see his face or that of his annoying soon-to-be Luna.
I should just go home and cry to my heart’s content. I turned around to leave and I heard that annoying voice call out to me.
“Speak of the devil,” I muttered to myself.
I should just pretend like I did not hear her and keep going. I ignored her and kept walking towards the gate…
“Hey, you fool! Are you deaf or what?” She yelled.
I stopped and turned around to face her, wearing a long face.
She better not say anything stupid to me or it won’t end well for the both of us. I don’t care if she’s a werewolf
She approached me with a stern face and I wasn’t smiling either.
To be continued!
