** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
Now it is all starting to make sense, I think my stepmom is telling the truth.
I remember two years ago when I was eighteen, I was feeling very strange on a moon night. For the first time, I decided to visit the club which I still find strange. Why a club of all the places I could go?
Why did that idea come to my head?
But now I finally have the answer to that question. I was feeling restless because I was a werewolf, the full moon forced werewolves to shift to their wolf forms but I couldn’t because my powers were sealed off.
Then Logan, meeting Logan in that club on that very night was not a coincidence, it was destined to happen.
I mean, fate had brought us together because… Because he’s my mate!!
How come I had not realized this earlier? Alpha Logan Stewart is my destined soulmate, that is why we were unable to control ourselves that night.
We had mated because our wolves wanted that.
That must be the mystery behind that night, fate had led us to that very spot and nature made us matt even though it’s not what our human side volunteered for.
Oh my! I guess Logan would have been confused as well, he wasn’t in control of his body so that’s why he thought I had used a special method on him, that’s why he called me a seductress!
I had hated him for three long years because of what happened between us that night, but that was the wrong thing to do. I mean none of us was at fault, okay maybe a little of it was his fault, he shouldn’t have called me a seductress but he has apologized for that anyway.
I guess that is why he kept coming back and that’s why I kept forgiving him, no matter how much we hated each other the anger eventually disappears and we end up getting back together.
That is why my body reacts the way it does around him, that is why he was ready to lose his immortality just to mate with me, he could not fight the urge.
I made him wait for a very long time, I wondered about the pain he had to endure. I don’t know much about werewolves but I’m certain that some males find it difficult to resist mating with the female, some go ahead to Mark and mate right there and then they find each other so it must have been difficult for him, especially since he is an Alpha male.
“So do you believe me now Crystal? Would you do as I have said and convince Logan to awaken the sword?” My stepmom asked.
“Martha, she is bleeding so please clean her wounds first before we can talk about that.”
That was my step dad’s voice, I looked towards the entrance of the sitting room and he was standing there. How long has he been there?
Wait, so he also knows about this? They knew I was a werewolf and lied to me all these years.
“Sorry Crystal, I will get the first aid box now,” my step mum said and walked out.
If Dad-two had not said it, she was more concerned about having power than caring to treat my wounds.
Now I feel like I don’t even know this woman, how can people change so suddenly or be in a disguise for so long?
After discovering these, I don’t think there is any other news that can come to me as a shock, this discovery was the greatest shock of my life, one that I will never forget.
“So how did you incur that injury?” Dad-two asked as he walked to me with a glass of water.
He is being nice to me, how am I sure that this is not another one of their acts? Pretending to be nice to people just to get what you want from them.
“Oh, I was almost hit by a car but I was saved by Logan, however I got injured in the process,” I replied.
“Oh,” he muttered. “Sorry about that,” he said and handed me the glass of water.
That reminds me, Mum-two has not answered my question regarding the attack. Her silence to that question can only tell me that she is guilty of the offense?

Sadiq ran back to Count Rohan and offered him the cup of fresh blood. The vampire drank to his fill and bleached delightfully.
There was nothing he loved more than a fresh cup of blood, it lightened his mood and felt way better than taking alcohol.
The satisfaction he derived from it was more than the ecstasy of cells or sweetness of wine.
“Sir, I also have another news,” the young Vampire uttered nervously.
Count Rohan turned to face him, he had a haunted expression on his face.
“Tell me what the news is,” he said bluntly.
“Sir, Grand Elder was here last night.”
“What?!” Count Rohan screamed and stood up from his golden armchair. “Grand Elder has risen?” He queried.
The Young vampire could see fire flickering in the eyes of his master, he had totally expected it.
The Grand Elder was an ancient vampire. It is rumored that he sleeps in a coffin and wakes up once in a blue moon.
The last time he appeared ten years ago, he had given the clan leaders a task to do or they would lose the leadership of their clans.
Count Rohan was still a young vampire, the other clan leaders were above hundred years so the task given could be easily accomplished by them.
But Count Rohan did not have enough power, he needed more power at that age in order to accomplish his mission.
It would have been easier if his father was still ruling but he had lost his father in a war between werewolves and vampires, so automatically he became the next count and leader of his tribe.
“Yes Master, he has dropped information that if you do not complete your task in the next two months, he will take away your position and give it to Draco.”
“Shut up!!” Rohan yelled in anger and the vampire quivered in fear, his legs wobbling.
“Take this cup and get lost!” He ordered and quickly Sadiq fled the scene.
Once again he had made it out alive but how long will he last before his head is ripped off his neck and hung on the castle wall for decoration.
Count Rohan paced around in the hall, he realized that he did not have much time left. He needed extra powers to achieve his goal so he should work harder to get it.
That werewolf girl was his key to securing his tribe, he needed her powers but for that he had to get her to trust him first.
