* * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
“What are you doing here?” My stepmom asked with an angry face.
“Oh, I had come to see you too. I came to say congratulations now that you have succeeded in your evil plans, I hope you are happy now?” I spoke with gritted teeth.
“Yes dear, we are very happy because our wolf Clan’s sword has been Awakened and it would have never been possible without you.
Logan’s father was the one who made our clan lose its worth in the past, I bet you never knew that.” She laughed evilly.
“So that is why you decided to get revenge?” I queried
“Yes, we got our first revenge by arranging the accident that killed them.”
“What?” I gasped. “You were responsible for their death?”
“That is right, and guess who we wanted to kill next… Um nevermind, I’ll tell you. It’s his son Logan, but it was difficult to achieve that and that’s why we were excited when we heard that he was the father of your child.
We could finally get our revenge on him and it’s all thanks to you. The real reason for Awakening this sword was in order to kill Logan, you and your son assisted us in making the Alpha fall easily, you helped us take him down.” She laughed.
I was stunned. I think she’s right, this is all my fault. I am the cause of Logan’s destruction.
A mate is supposed to bring happiness, but I only brought him pain. I should have trusted Logan earlier, I should have warned him about my step parents and this would have never happened. This is all my fault.
“You might have succeeded in taking away his strength and ruining his Pack’s reputation but I promise you that you will not be able to kill him. As Long As I am alive, I will protect him, I will do whatever is necessary to protect him.” I stated confidently.
“Correct, which is why you will do whatever we ask you to, because if you don’t, then we would kill what is left of Logan,” my step dad threatened.
“That is right Crystal, we want you to get mated to Rohan. If you don’t, then we will kill Logan and your son,” my stepmom threatened
I was surprised. So this was their next move, they wanted to get me mated to that vampire.
What would they gain in exchange for this?
“You know, I have really underestimated you two for a long time, I didn’t know you were this selfish and evil. My parents trusted you to take care of me, but you choose to use me to achieve your selfish goals. If I may ask, how much is the vampire paying you to betray your tribe?” I asked and my stepmom laughed.
“Paying us? You think we are doing this for money? Well, you are wrong. We don’t care about money, because we think of much bigger things than that, we are not doing this for money, we are doing this for power.
We want to get the highest position in the werewolf clans, which is above the Blood Moon Pack and to achieve it, we need to destroy their Pack like we had destroyed Logan’s.
But unfortunately, we don’t have enough strength to. The Blood Moon Pack has remained powerful for years, because of their special lunar moon stone.
Our Ancient sword Is not enough to take them down, that is why we sought alliance with the vampire. With his help, we will take down the Blood Moon pack and climb to the first position,” my stepdad explained and laughed evilly.
So this was their plan, they also wanted to take down the Blood Moon Pack, they were not content with what they had already achieved. Well, their greediness will be the reason for their downfall.
“You two are very heartless, you won’t mind killing your own Brothers for the sake of power and you sought help from the rivals, you went to our sworn enemies for help. Just remember that the goddess is watching, she will pay you back in your own coins for all your evil deeds.” I cursed.
They laughed again. “Who cares about the goddess? We only care about achieving our goals, so prepare to get mated to Count Rohan or your loved one dies.” My step dad threatened.
“No Dad, you’ve already done the worst you could do to us. If you struck a deal with that vampire over me, then you better go and terminate it because I’m not going to get mated to him for any reason, and that is final!” I stated angrily.
“Hahaha, do not test me Crystal, I spared Logan yesterday, but if you don’t listen to what we tell you to do then I would kill him,” my step-dad threatened.
“Do your worst.” I spat and grabbed the two bags, then headed for the door.
“Crystal, you better listen to us or you will regret it!” My stepmom yelled, but I ignored her and left the house.
Tears were already streaming down my eyes. I have caused Logan a lot of pain and it looks like I’m still going to cause him more in the future.
Maybe I should have never come into his life in the first place, because I have only brought him suffering and troubles. I got into the car and headed back to the castle.
I think I should convince Logan to leave the city, we should just go away and never come back. We could live a happy life away from all these troubles, we could live like humans and adapt to their way of living , rather than suffer in the hands of our own kind.
I arrived at the castle and rushed to Logan’s Chambers. He was playing with Aidan on the bed when I walked in. My presence got his attention and he turned to me.
He stood up from the bed and rushed to me. “Sweetheart, you are crying. What happened? Did your parents try to hurt you?” He queried.
“No Logan, but we should leave this city immediately, we need to start packing.” I said in a hurry.
“What? Why? What is wrong?” He asked with a worried face.
“My step parents are up to something bad again, they have sought help from a vampire in order to take down the Blood Moon Pack.”
“What?” Logan muttered in surprise.
“Yes Logan, and in exchange for the Vampire’s help, they are going to give me to him, to help increase his strength. They want to get me mated to him,” I announced.
I could see the look on Logan’s face change to anger.
He clenched his fist. “I would kill anyone who tries to touch you, but how would getting mated to you increase the Vampire’s powers?” He queried.
“Logan I… I have special powers and that is why my parents sealed my werewolf abilities. They wanted to protect my powers from getting into the wrong hands but it looks like the people they trusted the most, turned out to be the wrong hands. My step parents are giving me to the vampire so that he can have my powers, which is why we need to leave this city.” I said in tears.
Logan wiped off my tears and kissed my forehead. “You don’t need to worry about anything Crystal, I will protect you with my life, I swear,” he said with anger flickering in his eyes.
“No Logan, this is not about me, it’s about you and Aidan. My step parents have threatened to kill you two if I don’t agree to their decision, they would harm you again Logan. We really need to leave, please Logan.” I pleaded.
“No Crystal, I cannot flee from this city. I have already failed my father by ruining the value of the Pack, I cannot run from the soil that gave birth to me.” He replied.
“But Logan, they would…”
“I understand Crystal, but you don’t need to be worried. We would all be safe and we would survive this, I promise you,” he said calmly.
“But how are you so sure Logan? You know these people are dangerous.”
“I know that Crystal, but I have strong faith that everything will be alright and justice will prevail. We just need to be patient,” he assured.
I hugged him tight in tears. “Please forgive me Logan, I have caused you so much pain.” I cried.
“No Crystal, please don’t say that… You have not caused me any pain, it’s not your fault at all, okay? So don’t blame yourself. Everything will be fine,” he stated.
Aidan jumped down from the bed and ran to us, then he hugged our legs and I chuckled. Logan carried him up and I hugged both of them.
“Aren’t we one cute family?” Logan asked with a smile.
“Yes we are, but Dad is the cutest,” Aidan replied and we laughed.
“Really Aidan? Is your daddy cuter than me?” I queried, with a frown on my face.
“Yes he is, and he also said I’m a cute prince.” He chuckled and I waved my head, then pinched those chubby cheeks.
“You heard my prince, I am cuter.” Logan said and stuck his tongue out at me like a child. Aidan laughed.
“Silly,” I muttered and walked to the bed.
