It had been six good years that Logan had been searching for Anita. He went to every pack looking for her, but it all was a futile effort.
He would go to a lone wolf settlement asking for a pregnant young lady but no one could give him what he was looking for.
Sometimes he had flashes of how he dealt with her when she was in his pack and he hated himself for it.
Logan wondered where she could be. He desperately needed to make amends for his errors. He wanted to create a new beginning with her, but her disappearance wasn't helping him because he had become a shadow of himself.
He concluded that she wouldn't have been able to cope in the woods and that could have led to her death.
…………..
Logan's pack, Wilderolf, and a neighboring pack, Martusia, have had several pack fights for years.
There is a piece of land that has demarcated the two communities and this land has been a bone of contention due to ownership rights.
Pack elders from both communities have met together to solve the unending killings and have resolved to give peace a chance.
A peace treaty meeting was organized in Martusia with the presence of every Alpha in neighboring communities.
One of the elders stood while addressing the rest, " You are all welcome to this peace treaty meeting. This is organized to see to the peace and unity of every werewolf in the district."
"Alpha Logan and Alpha Jameson. This is a time for you to sheath your swords and embrace peace."
"The land in question causing this unnecessary fight will be shared equally between Martusia and Wildereolf"
"No, there is nothing to share, this land has been for us since time immemorial, allowing the Martusia wolves to hunt in our land has brought us to where we are". Logan interrupted the Elder.
Jameson laughed mockingly "When you are tired of barking, you will learn to respect everyone seated here"
" You are not the one that will tell me who to respect. I have no reason to be at this meeting in the first instance. If you are not fools like you, you won't have the audacity to talk back at me."
At this point, almost everyone present wanted to contribute to the matter, as some of the Alphas were already taking sides.
A very old elder grunted and stood up, to calm the tense environment, "Logan and Jameson, you are the future of our settlements. Posterity won't be kind to us if we kill ourselves. Let's embrace peace and share the land between you both, and live in unity"
As he continued talking, Jameson's mother walked in to serve some refreshments with Anita behind her.
All eyes were fixed on Anita. Logan couldn't believe who was before him, it was like his eyes were playing on him. Her beauty was intoxicating, her green eyes were still dark, and her skin was smooth as silk.
Alpha James was surprised to be seeing a new maid in his territory, much more in his house. He called her attention and decided to inquire about her.
" Young lady, are you new here?"
"Yes Alpha" she replied, as she bowed her head, trying to avoid the gaze of the rest of the Alphas.
"This is my first time seeing you in my pack. In Martusia we know each other because this is a relatively small community."
"I came in yesterday. I have been a lone wolf for a long time, and I decided to identify with Martusia"
Logan couldn't control his excitement as he gazed at her, his wolf had growled within him, mate! Mate! Mate! repeatedly.
He fidgeted on his seat as he gawked at her, her skin was so shiny, with her red hair lying on her waistline. She had changed so much in 6 years, and the silhouette figure before him wasn't the one he met 6 years ago.
" Who approved your stay here?' Jameson queried.
" I was told that you weren't around, so Beta Mark gave me a temporary stay until your return. "
Her eyes met with those of Logan as she was talking to the Alpha. She ignored his stares and focused on Jameson, who was at this time trying to reach his Beta.
Anita had not expected to find Logan in Martusia just a day before her stay. She had chosen to stay in Martusia because of their rivalry with Wildereolf.
She expected to find solace in their rivalry and there would be no way she would have been seen by anyone from Wildereolf, well, she had made up her mind that Logan won't be a father to his son, after all, he wasn't aware that she was pregnant when he left.
She was done serving the refreshments and was about to leave when her son ran into the meeting hall.
"Mum, I was looking for you. Where have you been? I am hungry".
" I warned you not to leave the room."
Jameson interrupted their discussion." Is he your son?"
"Yes he is"
Logan looked at the young boy before him, he knew exactly that he was his son, he was his replica, with large eyes just like his grandfather.
He tried to create eye contact with Anita but she avoided his gaze and focused her attention on Jameson.
"What about his father?"
"His father?" The question took her off balance. This was the first time someone would be having an interest in her life since she became a mother to Damian.
"His father is dead, he died before I gave birth to him."
Logan gawked at her in disbelief. What did she mean that his father was dead?
"Oh sorry for your loss", Jameson stated.
"Thank you Alpha, My son has been without a father and has not had a loving role in his life since birth"
"Don't worry about that, I will be a father to him. You are welcome to stay with us here in Martusia", Jameson assured her.
Logan rose to talk but he couldn't find his words. He sat down looking apprehensive as Anita walked out of the hall.
