Chapter. 32 Marked by Logan

Caroline’s POV

I don’t know what Logan wants. So much so that he asked me to come to the palace tonight. However, according to mom’s words. Logan looked very strange this morning. Just because he heard that I wanted to go to Rookan Pack for a few days. He looked panicked and anxious. I’m sure mom misinterpreted the expression on that man’s face. Why would he worry about me? What was he worried about? I can’t possibly do bad things to this Pack there? Or maybe...

I shook my head quickly at the thought. No way. The second reason compelled me to disregard it from my thoughts. Because that won’t be possible. Alright. I’ll find out soon when I meet Logan at the palace.

I quickened my footsteps. In order to get to the palace quickly. However, as I passed through the deserted road at the edge of the forest. Suddenly someone pulled my hand into the forest. I immediately tried to fight him. But, I quickly undid it because it turned out to be Logan.

“Logan! Why do you like to surprise me so much? Didn’t you call me to the palace? Why are you pulling me into this forest now? What are you really thinking right now?” I asked him a lot of questions. But, instead of answering. Logan pushed my body and locked both my hands on a large rock. “Logan! Logan, what do you want to do?” I asked, which Logan no longer ignored.

The man continued to aim for my lips. I kept trying to fight him off, but it seemed like Logan was currently in Heat. That means he really wants to mate with someone. But, why me. Doesn’t he already have Grace?

“Logan! Logan don’t! I’m not your mate anymore. You already have Grace.” I tried to push Logan’s body away from me, but his strength was enormous in heat like this. In fact, a male werewolf can have dozens of times more energy than usual when he’s in heat like this.

I couldn’t resist his power this time. Until finally he got what he had been after. He managed to kiss my lips. I was silent for a moment trying not to be affected by Logan’s stimulation. However, my defense ended. When the man started playing with my lips so gently. Honestly, I really enjoyed it at that time. My hands that were originally holding his body from sticking to me. Now it’s hugging him.

I felt completely defeated now. Logan managed to master my body in just a matter of minutes. I let him enjoy every curve of my body. Even though I knew this would be the beginning of Grace’s hatred for me. I’m sure Logan doesn’t want to mark me. He must just need a release tonight.

Suddenly the unexpected happens. Logan flips my naked body over on the rock. Then he tries several times to join himself to me. I kept resisting. I didn’t want big trouble to happen after this. Instead, Logan bit the back of my neck. Where the scent glands are located.

I groaned loudly as Logan also managed to bond with us. We were bonding. In fact, I had rejected Logan and Logan had intended to reject me. Logan mated with all his might and for a long duration. He seemed to really enjoy this moment. In fact, I felt his pounding so strong. We were sweating all over our bodies. Sharing it with each other. Like how we were feeling right now. I looked at Logan who seemed to be enjoying his game. We stare at each other for a while. I shook my head slowly. Begging Logan to stop this madness. However, he doesn’t want to hear my request. He grabbed my head and kissed me passionately. I drifted back into his seduction. I reciprocated every action. One side I was enjoying this, but the other side I was afraid of the trouble that would follow.

Finally, we felt the knotting. I shed tears as I felt my body doing well. My womb accepted all of Logan’s mating juices that were spilled in there.

What if I get pregnant? I was still thinking about that when Logan released the union. He lay beside me. Because his strength was gone.

“Carol.” Logan tried to touch my face. But I brushed it away.

“Are you happy now?” I asked harshly. “Now you’re signing me up and getting married to Grace. Really, you’re the most evil man I’ve ever met, Logan!” I saw Logan looking confused as he watched me cry in front of him. I quickly grabbed my clothes and put them on again. Before I finally left Logan alone in that place.

“Carol wait!” I heard Logan’s very soft words. Because surely his energy had been drained. While I, still have a little to walk home.

****

I left the house early in the morning. I was afraid Logan would see me. If I didn’t leave in a hurry. I was still angry with him because of last night. Frans, who knew my bad mood, chose to follow all my wishes without asking many questions.

“We’re leaving first, Mom,” I said while kissing the back of her hand.

“Yes, dear. You be careful on the road. It’s still early. In fact, the sunlight hasn’t even appeared yet. I’m afraid there are bad people who want to disturb you on the road,” I said worriedly. I grabbed her hand and gripped it.

“Did you forget who Carol is? Carol has had many encounters with rogues or other evil creatures. Mom, don’t worry. We can protect each other. Right, Frans?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m also strong enough to fight the bad guys. So, you don’t have to worry,” Frans added.

“Yes. I believe you will make it safely to your destination. The Moon Goddess will surely protect you both. Leave now. I’m willing to let you go, dear.” I hugged mom for a while.

“Thank you, Mom. You’re everything to me. I promise, after all my business is done. I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes, dear. I’ll always be waiting for your return.”

We released the hug. Then Frans and I strolled away. Damn it! I didn’t know that Logan had set up a guard patrol to prevent me from leaving this pack. In the end, Frans and I had to hide. To find a way when they had left.

“Will they guard this area like this every day?” Frans asked in a whisper.

“No, it’s not. It seems that someone wants to thwart my plans to go to the Rookan Pack today,” I replied in the same tone.

“Really? Who is it?”

“You don’t need to know. He’s someone who can’t tell the difference between power and self-interest,” I half-satirized Logan. Who else would do this but him? But, I don’t have to worry. I was born and raised here. So, I know the most hidden places in this pack.

“Come, come with me!” I took Frans through the hidden path that I used to take with my father to reach the North end. As a child, it often took me on adventures with my father who was on patrol. That’s why I admired him so much and wanted to be a great warrior like him.

It’s just as I thought. We could escape the guards and reach the north end faster than usual. Now we have to walk along the river upstream using the only tools we have. Fortunately, Mom had brought a rope and a machete in our backpacks. So we could cross the river and walk through the forest against the fast flowing water. Frans also didn’t know the exact direction he had gone. Because at that time the current carried away him and was unconscious.

All day Frans and I kept walking. We deliberately rested only briefly. In order not to spend time on the way. The more we walked up, the more trees there were and the more lush they were. There were even some large trees that had never been seen before. I felt curious and wanted to research it with my mom when we got home. Who knows, some of these trees contain medicine that can be used to cure members of the Black Moon Pack’s rare diseases. That’s why I took a minor part of the tree trunk. To be stored in the box that I had prepared earlier.

At midnight, Frans and I had yet to find any sign of the Rookan Pack village. Even then, part of the journey, we used the form of wolves to run faster. Finally, we decided to rest. Because it was very dangerous if we continued our journey in a state of exhaustion. Frans and I made a campfire with twigs and dry leaves. We ate the food our mother gave us while telling stories about our lives.

“I am the third of four children. My two older brothers and I are boys. My sister is a girl. Since we were little, we have always lived in a hidden place. Because your life was always in danger. When I started to grow up my first brother was taken out of our hiding place. One week after that, he was killed by Rogue, who infiltrated the palace,” Frans began the story.

“Are there no guards guarding the palace?” I asked curiously.

“Many. But no guard managed to catch him. Because his abilities are so great. Far above our guards.”

“Then what about the fate of your other brother?”

“They killed my second sister after she had been in the palace for three days. But it was no worse than my younger sister. She died in the hideout.”

“That means your hideout isn’t safe, either?”

“Yes. Rogue managed to find it. They immediately killed the guards, as well as my sister. Right at that moment, I was on my way home. I was safe that day. But not the next day. When I went hunting, they chased me until I finally fell and met you. The Moon Goddess seemed to have intentionally saved me in that way. So that I can still live until this moment.” I smiled in concern at the complete story.

“If they attacked the Alpha family members. Then what is the fate of the Omega pack members?”

“Not much different. They often come suddenly. Asking for our possessions and even our crops. And if we resist. Then we will become victims of their crimes. As an Alpha family who should be able to protect Pack members. I often feel guilty. For not being able to guarantee their safety.” Frans said with a face full of guilt. I patted his shoulder lightly.

“You’re not guilty, Frans. You did your best for your Pack. If I had known from the beginning. I would have brought the warrior team to participate.”

“No, you wouldn’t. I don’t want you to get involved with them. All this time, we’ve been waiting for our savior. She is the werewolf of the Moon Goddess.”

“Is waiting enough? I think we should do something until your hero arrives.”

“Should we?”

“Of course. Even when my Pack is safe. Father will still practice fighting. Because it will increase his strength and abilities.”
