Logan went into the woods in search of his mate, he could feel the significance of her presence fading away by the seconds and before long he could no longer smell her scent.
He kept running until he came out on the highway but she was nowhere to be seen.
Who was she and where could she have gone?
This was his one chance to put an end to all the drama in his life, the very solution to his problem.
If he had met the goddess’s chosen one today, then everything would have been clear. Hr might have finally found the answers to his unanswered questions.
Logan wondered why she had shown up and disappeared like that.
Did she come in search of him or did she only tease her arrival?
As he was about to leave, he saw a spot on the soil with disruptions, it was wet and had footprints in it.
On a closer observation, he noticed that it was a female’s feet. He guessed it must belong to her, she was here but which way did she take?
He could no longer catch her scent so maybe it wasn’t a good idea to go after her blindly, so he decided to turn back and return to his castle.
At least he knows that his destined one has shown up which means he could not get rid of Lucy for good.
He had a valid reason to break his contract with her.
Logan turned around and headed back into the woods, he did not know if he should be excited or sad about his mate’s appearance.
It was both good news and bad news; the good news was that he could get rid of Lucy and he was now certain that he had a destined mate, but the bad news was that his destined mate could turn out to be someone else than Crystal, then he would have to choose between his soulmate and his heartthrob.
He had never loved anyone like he loves Crystal.
Logan arrived at the fence and jumped in, he noticed that Lucy was still standing at the same spot that he had left her, he decided to confront her and dissolve his contract with her back that very moment.
“Logan, you did not find anyone right? I told you that there was no one there, you must have been mistaken,” Lucy spoke in a hurry.
She was glad that Logan did not find Crystal, which means she still had a chance of keeping him away from her.
“No Lucy, I know for a fact that she was here, my soulmate has appeared but I don’t know where she went or why she left.”
Lucy felt dejected to hear that. It looks like she would not be changing his mind so easily, he was persistent on what he had seen.
“But I was here the whole time, I could not see or sense anyone, believe me Logan, you are mistaken about this!” Lucy insisted.
Logan shook his head sideways, not accepting her words.
“Stop trying to convince me that she was not her because she was, I also found evidence of that in the woods. Since she is here now, I’m afraid that the contract my parents had with your Pack is no longer relevant,” Logan announced.
“What? What are you talking about Logan? I don’t understand,” Lucy said.
She knew very well what he was talking about, but she could not believe he was saying that.
Even without seeing his mate with his own eyes, he had come to that decision already.
She refused to be treated that way.
“You know what I am talking about Lucy, you can no longer be my mate because I have a soulmate and she is here in this city, I can not Mark someone else while my destined mate is alive.” Logan replied.
The both of them remained quiet, staring at each other, then suddenly Lucy burst into laughter.
Logan was confused on why she was laughing, he did not find this funny at all.
“Is this some sort of joke Logan? What do you think you are saying? It is practically impossible, you can’t get rid of me whenever you feel like. Our packs had an agreement, you make me Luna and we give you our support. You can’t go back on your words now,” she stated with anger flickering in her eyes
Logan already knew that she would not agree so easily, she would certainly put up a fight.
“Yes we did have that deal Lucy but everything changes with the appearance of my soulmate. I cannot have two mates which means I would have to dissolve the marriage contract.”
“Do you even realize what you’re saying? Look, if you decide to dissolve our marriage contract, if you decide not to place your mark on me, if you decide not to make me your Luna as we had agreed, then believe me… My pack would also withdraw from our own part of the deal.
We will no longer support you in any way, my parents would no longer be on your side and our warriors would no longer fight alongside you, we would also withdraw from the park business that we run in your name. Trust me Logan, your park would face a lot of difficulties without ours!” Lucy warned .
Logan sighed and looked downwards while Lucy smiled. She believed that she had got him where she wanted him.
The New Dawn Pack had been so great in the past five years, making significant changes and impacts in the werewolf society and it was all thanks to the support of the Crescent Moon Park.
Lucy believes that Logan would not want to lose the support of her Pack since his Pack was getting a lot from it but the Alpha proved her thoughts wrong. It came as a complete shock to her.
“Alright Lucy, I guess that is it then. You leave me and take your Pack with you,” Logan said bluntly and walked away.
Lucy was stunned, she could not believe that he had said that. He was going to cancel an agreement made over 5 years ago because of a woman?
But she was not going to give up either, this was something she had worked hard for all these years, to be mated to the Alpha of New Dawn pack. Now that it was almost achieved, she would not let anyone rob her of that position, she had to try and convince Logan somehow but she was not going to let him go.
She walked out of the backyard, heading for Logan’s Chambers. She felt like someone was watching her but when she turned back, she saw no one.
Well if someone was watching her then she had no doubt that it was Simon, but she would deal with him later, she had more important things to take care of and Simon was not a priority right now.
But what would she say to change Logan’s mind now?
How can she stop him from dissolving the contracts they had?
She realized she had made a mistake in the past, she would have asked her parents to make the contract irrevocable but she had no idea that things would turn out this way. She did not know that his mate would show up at the last minute and ruin her plans.
