* * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
I walked out of Crystal’s house feeling relieved. I am glad that I had settled the issues with her and we were back together on good terms.
I have been worried since morning when she did not show up at work and she was not picking my calls either. We had dinner plans today and I was really excited about it but when I did not see her in the evening I had the feeling that something was wrong.
I suspected my so-called soon-to-be Luna had done something silly so I decided to confirm by visiting Crystal.
On my arrival to the building which I believed was where she lived, I saw her not too far away, she was walking away from the house and I wondered where she was going.
I dialed her number so that I could inform her that I was waiting for her back at home but to my surprise, after seeing her phone ringing, she threw it back into her bag, she totally ignored my call and that’s when I was certain that there was something wrong.
Why else would she ignore my calls?
* * * * *
I clearly remembered that we were on good terms the previous day, we had even returned to the castle together in my car before I left her to take her wages from Noah, then I walked in and met Lucy.
* * * * *
At that point, I decided to follow her and know where she was going, that’s how I ended up here.
I don’t understand why she lives in two houses and also she never told me about this house. This must be where she came from the other night when I came to her house and she claimed that she went to buy stuff from a grocery shop.
Maybe she did not want me to know she also lived here, but what could she possibly be hiding?
Anyway, I am glad that she no longer has a misconception of me, she now understands my true intentions and she still loves me.
Thanks to Lucy, I will no longer be able to work alongside her, she has robbed me of that opportunity.
I’ve become so used to Crystal that I am not sure I would be able to handle everything on my own, forget about work… I will no longer have the opportunity to be close to her. I am really going to miss her a lot.
Lucy is the only reason why we can’t be happy, but how do I get rid of her without causing problems between the two packs and disrespecting my late parents’ decision in the process? I was in a dilemma.
I left her house in my car and headed back to the castle.
* * * * *Crystal’s POV * * * * *
After I had confirmed that Logan was gone, I slumped onto my bed in thought.
I don’t know what to do now. I hate you Logan Stewart, I curse the day I met you.
I was so filled with hatred for that werewolf, he has made my life very difficult.
What did I ever do wrong to him as to deserve this torture? He has ruined my whole life.
I paced from one end of my room to the other feeling bitter.
For how long do I have to suffer this?
How long exactly do I need to go through this pain again and again and again?
How long would I have to leave a life of misery?
How long will I have to live a lie? Hiding away Aidan whenever he’s around.
I have had enough and I know just what I have to do, I need to leave this city, go somewhere Logan will never find me, somewhere I don’t have to worry about Aidan’s safety all the time.
He could live freely like a normal kid and I would go on with my life, as for my education… I would write an application to the state’s educational board and request an immediate transfer to another college.
I would be through with college in less than four months and then live my life the way I want, but how do I raise money for the transport and other expenses?
Yes, I should request a refund from the landlord, I would leave very early in the morning and by noon I would have settled in a new city.
Luckily for me, the owner of the house stays in the building next door. I quickly went to his house and explained my situation to him, he understood me and refunded the rent for ten months to me. I have only lived here for a month and two weeks so the remaining months were refunded.
Quickly I started to pack all my stuff, I wanted to be ready in the morning so that Logan will not meet me here if he eventually comes searching for me.
While packing my stuff and that of Aidan, I remember that Mike had found me a job and I was supposed to resume tomorrow. I don’t think I will be needing it anymore since I am leaving the city.
I found my phone where I had flinged it to out of anger when Logan would not stop calling me earlier. I was surprised that after that it did not break.
I dialed Michael’s number and he picked after the first two rings.
“Hi Michael,” I said solemnly.
I remembered what had happened between us today when he tried to kiss me and I pushed him away. I hope he has forgotten that.
“Hello gorgeous,” he said and I’m pretty sure he smiled over there.
I wonder how he would feel to know that I am leaving, I know he will be hurt.
“Um, I know this might come as a shock to you but I am leaving the city tomorrow and I might never come back.”
He was quiet for a while then he burst into laughter.
“Really? That’s a good joke,” he chuckled. “I can’t believe you called me this evening just to prank me.”
Prank him? He probably thought this was a joke.
“Michael I am being serious here, you are a good friend of mine that is why I decided to tell you, please tell my new boss that I had quit the job,” I said
“Crystal, you can’t be serious. Why are you leaving?” He asked in a more serious tone now.
“Michael, some things are better off as secrets, just know that I value our friendship and I am really going to miss you. Thank you for being a part of my life.”
“No Crystal, stop this joke right now!” He said. He sounded angry to me. “Tell me, where are you? I will come there right away,” he said
“There will be no need for that Mike, I will call you some other time with a new number. Goodbye and take care of yourself,” I said and hung up the call.
I slumped down to my bed and broke down into tears. My whole life was messed up and it’s all thanks to Alpha Logan Stewart, I hate him and his very existence.
“Did you hear that Alpha Logan Stewart? I hate you!” I yelled amidst tears like a lunatic.
