Alpha’s Bewitching Regret
Swear on your name

" So, do we have a deal?” Turning her attention away from Elder Hopkins as she shot a questioningglance at Logan, she wasn't going to get anywhere near his car without getting the confirmationthat she needed.

Logan stared at her long enough to make the hair on the back of her neck stand and when she wassure he was going to refuse her, he watched her nod his head. “ We do, if you can break Lily's curse,I will set you free.”

"You swear?" said Levy as she crossed her arms in front. “ I do not trust your word, don’t blame mefor that but I do know just how sweet you were to Mavis, I don't trust you. What if I wake Lily up bybreaking her curse and you come ambling down at me saying that I haven't suffered enough? Icannot risk that, I was a fool once but I won't repeat the same mistake twice.”

"You dare—" started Elder Hopkins but Levy didn't give a chance to aggravate her even furtherthan she already was, this was supposed to be her long-awaited freedom and now she was onceagain tied with the man whom she despised with a very, very stubborn bone in her body. Badenough to slit him from his throat down to his sternum.

"Yes, I dare..and in case you have forgotten I am the only one who can wake your sleeping princessof a daughter, so you better put some respect to my name,” snapped Levy without letting ElderHopkins degrade her any further, then she turned to look at Logan who was staring sharply at herand tipped her chin up. “ Swear on your title, I do not wish to be bounded to you any more than Ihave been already, I do not want you changing your mind at the end of the deal and pulling me intoanother hell hole.”

He stared at her as if he was waiting for her to drop her guard and then take her down in oneswoop, he didn't have to though, he was far stronger than she was and if he wanted he couple dealwith her even when she was fighting against him with all her strength but that was under thepremise that she didn't use her magical powers, maybe that was why he hasn't lunged at her withhis claws unsheathed.

Logan was indeed thinking about slitting Levy's throat and ending the entire thing once and for all,he didn't need to lower his head in front of this woman, the one who was a constant reminder ofwhat he has lost and how, he could always look for much better options, maybe even try a fewhuman doctors to see if they can wake Lily up but he also knew that he couldn't just use Lily as aGuinea pig.

Just because he felt his anger stir every time he looked at Levy's face he couldn't just leave Lilyuntreated, though he didn't want to admit it but Levy was indeed a very powerful witch like hermother. God knows how many curses Selina have broken when she was alive, he hasn't forgottenher and Levy was Selina’s daughter, she must have learned a good deal about magic and cursesfrom her mother. If there was someone who could deal with Lily's curse at the moment it was Levyand even if he desired to kill her, he couldn't do it—

Not when she was the only option that he had in his hands and his gaze skimmed over herextremely thin figure before she was wearing a loose cotton t-shirt and that was why he couldn'tsee it but now that she has discarded it, he could see her ribs almost poking out of her skin.

He could have snapped her, limbs and head but something held him back maybe it was the littleteaspoon of gentlemanliness that he had in his body but he did not have any desire to hurt a femalewho was sickly enough to be blown by the wind.

" Fine,” after thinking it over once again, he looked away from Levy's frail figure. She did not deservehis sympathy, not after what she has done to him and Mavis, if anything she should have stayed inthe frost gate prison until his pain eased a little more because seeing her face only reminded him ofwhat his life could have been if not for her. “ I swear on my title as an Alpha, that I will let you goonce you are done breaking the curse but do remember that if you make a mistake, it will be yourhead and my claws.”

Levy waited for the spark of relief to ignite in her after hearing his words but all she felt wasemptiness, her wolf laid her head down on her front paws with a low whine rumbling inside her. Sheshouldn't have been surprised at his desire to save Lily more than to stay with her since she knewjust how much he adored Mavis but it would be a lie if she said that she didn't have a bit of hopethat he will reject her.

At least with their mating bond, he should have been a bit hesitant to let her go but nothing, shedidn't see an ounce of regret in his eyes. “ Okay, then.” It was fine if he didn't need her, it wasn't thatshe wouldn't replace her happy ending without him right?

“Let's go,” he shot her another look before he turned around and walked towards the car that wasparked at a distance from the entrance of the frost gate prison. Levy followed him without sayinganything, after all, there was nothing she had to say to him after seven years, she walked behind himsilently with her head lowered as she stared at the snow that has been trampled on when suddenlyshe felt something drop on her head and the world around her went momentarily dark.
