* * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
I arrived at Logan’s Chambers and walked into the bedroom. Aidan was still sleeping, I dropped my handbag on the table and slumped onto the bed.
Perhaps I am cursed or I bring bad luck to good people. Logan had to go through all this because of me.
First, he lost his strength in order to protect my son from my evil step parents and now, he has been imprisoned by a vampire because of me.
Whatever special powers it is that I have, they have caused me more pain than good.
I don’t know what to do right now. If I don’t give Rohan what he wants, then he would kill Logan but I can’t do it.
I don’t care much about losing my powers, rather I am hesitant because of the way through which he intends to take it.
He was going to mate with me, perhaps not even a one-time thing and I can’t let any other man touch me, if not Logan.
Apart from that, if I decide to give him what he wants and he lets Logan go, he might try to hurt Logan in the future. I mean, the two tribes are in enmity, so he could always get his revenge by killing Logan when he has no use for him again.
I just don’t know what to do, I am so confused. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I had not eaten in the morning, but I was least bothered about food right now.
What bothered me more was how to save Logan from the vampire.
I walked into the bedroom to have a shower. I got into the jacuzzi and felt a little itching in my head, it was Eva.
She had been quiet for a while now and it feels like there is something she wants to say.
“Eva, can you help me out? I need to save Logan but I don’t know how,” I said mentally while letting the cold shower water pour on me.
“I don’t think Logan needs someone to save him,” Eva replied and I got puzzled.
“Um… What do you mean Eva? He has been locked up by the Vampire lord, haven’t you been paying attention?” I queried
“Crystal, I can’t explain it but I think your mate knows what he is doing. The night he placed a mark on you, I could feel the confidence in him, it was like he still had hope of things going back to normal. I really can’t explain it but he has big plans, Logan is up to something.”
The wolf’s words left me even more confused. Logan had plans? Then why would he let himself be captured? What plans can he come up with when he has lost his Alpha strength by Awakening the ancient sword?
After bathing, I went back to the bedroom and sat on the couch crying. I had no idea what to do.

The next day, early in the morning. I got prepared to go and see Logan, I came out of the Castle and saw Blake, he was standing beside the car again.
“Can I drop you off today?” He asked.
“No Blake, I actually have another errand for you,” I replied.
“Errand? What do you want me to do?” He queried.
“Go to the Blood Moon Pack, send an invitation to the Alpha,” I instructed.
“What? Are you sure he would honor the invitation? I don’t think so,” Blake replied
“Yes he will, go ahead and invite him, tell him to be here this evening then summon our warriors too,” I ordered
“Our warriors? Are we going to war?” He queried.
“I don’t know, Blake but if there is a need for it, then we will.” I explained and he nodded
I left the castle immediately and took a cab to Rohan’s Castle. I could sense that he had gathered his vampire army at the Castle, I didn’t see them but I could feel their presence. The whole Castle smelled of nightwalkers.
I got to his sitting room and after a few minutes, he came out.
“Are you here to see him or to give me a response?” He smiled as he walked in.
“Let me see him first,” I spoke solemnly.
He chuckled and walked towards the hallway. “Follow me,” he instructed.
I followed behind immediately, clutching tight to my handbag as I went.
We got to the back and a small metal gate rolled up, then we walked in. It was a dungeon and I could see so many captives in different cells, they were mostly humans.
As we walked in, Logan’s scent struck my nose and my eyes darted around.
Where could he be?
Then I looked in the direction where Rohan was heading and I saw Logan. He was laying on the floor in a cell built a bit far from the others.
Rohan stopped walking and stared at me. “You have just five minutes,” he muttered, then turned around and walked off.
I rushed to Logan immediately. He must have noticed my presence and looked up. Our eyes met and he stood up immediately, then rushed to the metal bar that separated him from me.
I came closer and took his hand. A few drops of tears escaped my eyes and he wiped it with his free hand.
“Don’t cry Crystal, you are too beautiful to cry.” He smiled.
“Logan, you are here because of me. Rohan will not let you go until I decide to mate with him, that way he can have my powers.” I spoke in tears.
“Do not do what he asks you to do. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Logan smiled.
“But how Logan? You are locked up here, already bruised up and he threatened to kill you tomorrow if I don’t agree to his request.” I cried
“Listen to me Crystal, you will not do anything he wants. You are mine and mine alone, now come closer let me tell you something.” Logan muttered.
I looked around and there was no one watching, so I brought my right ear closer. He whispered something in my ear and my eyes widened.
“What?” I muttered.
“Yes Crystal, that is what you have to do.” He instructed.
“Well, I was already planning that but how sure are you that it will work?” I queried.
“Trust me Crystal, everything will go as planned. It will be over soon,” he replied
I nodded and kissed him on his forehead, not minding the blood on it, then I turned around to leave.
It was difficult letting go of his hand, but I eventually had to do it. I got to the sitting room and saw Rohan, he was standing there with his hands folded behind as usual.
This guy was completely different from the Michael I used to know. How can someone be so good at pretending?
“So, after seeing how badly he had been tortured, what is it going to be? Do you agree or would I have to hurt him more?” Rohan asked with a stern face.
“I don’t agree with your stupid demands. My powers were given to me by the moon goddess and they are not for you,” I retorted.
He frowned immediately. “I see you are still stubborn, I thought after seeing your so-called mate in that condition, you would do the right thing but no worries.
You still have a few hours to make your final decision, if you still choose to oppose me tomorrow, then I would kill him before your very eyes, that’s my promise to you Crystal.” He spoke with gritted teeth.
I ignored him and turned away. We would know who has the final laugh when tomorrow comes.
I left his Castle and headed back home immediately.
