A scream left my lips as the truck went over the side, hitting a rock that rolled the car and sent it tumbling down the embankment. The seat belt kept me in place but I banged my head against the door window and another window shattered as it made its way down the hill.
The car finally came to stop on its side, the driver’s side door down on the ground.
I could feel the darkness pulling me under. I kept trying to move but my head just felt fuzzy and everything was blurred. I needed to get out.
One thought on my mind.
One person.
I utter one word before I let the dark consume me. It barely came out in a whisper.
“Logan...”
◆◆◆
I open my eyes slowly to a pain in my neck and a throbbing head. My vision was still un clear, like I was looking through a frosted window. I looked around as best I could and tried to free myself, but my legs were trapped, the car must have taken more of a beating than I thought.
Looking though the cracked front window I saw shapes and images coming toward me. As they got closer I realised they were animals.
Wolves.
Panic once again started to creep in and I tried with all my might to free myself. That crash didn’t kill me but these three wolves might do. Come on Alex time to get moving.
When they got closer though I recognised the larger middle wolf.
It was black. It was her wolf.
Some of the fear sub sided but it didn’t go away. I still had to get out. I could feel my energy draining though and once again I felt the pull of unconsciousness.
I fought desperately to keep my eyes open but they failed and closed for a few seconds. I battled them open and focused on the wolves. I must have been hallucinating.
There weren’t three wolves anymore. Just two light brown ones.
Running toward me in place of the black wolf was a man.
A naked man.
I must have hit my head harder than I thought. Either that or it was just another dream. I spoke the second word to pass my lips since I crashed.
“Logan.”
Chapter Eighteen
Ice- Cream
Logan’s POV
“Alexia...” I barely managed to get my words out. I was losing her. I wanted to rip O'Connor to shreds right about now, but I reined my animal side back knowing that if I was to ever have a chance of redeeming myself with Alexia I couldn’t do that.
She looks me in the eyes and places her hand on my face, bringing us closer together. I can see the tears ready to fall from her eyes. I feel like I’m about to fall apart inside. She’s not even said that she is rejecting me, she doesn’t even know that she can, but this pain is bad enough though, I don’t ever want to know what the actual pain of rejection will feel like.
“Let me go” she tells me. Every fiber of my being wants to just hold her tight, snatch her up and run away with her. Somewhere where it will just be the two of us. No distractions, no interruptions.; but I can't do that. She wouldn’t understand. She has to come back to me on her own. When she is ready. I know the mate bond is working. I can feel it. That’s why it’s hurting us both right now. We are denying ourselves each other. Denying our destiny. Going against the pull of the moon.
I can see her nodding her head slightly, I’m not sure if she is trying convince me or her that what she is doing and saying is the right thing. I let go of her arm and just pray that she comes back to me. One day.
I watch her walk away and he follows after her, not with out turning around and smirking at me though. He thinks he has her now. Well, we’ll see about that because I’m not about to give up on her. I could never give up on my mate. Alexia was meant for me and we will be together I just need to give her a little time and then explain everything to her. Hopefully she won’t be to scared of me and will still accept me.
I stand still, not knowing what I’m waiting for. But when I hear his car drive off I head back to my own and drive back home.
I park and walk in to the forest, taking off my clothes as I go. I need to run; I need to release some anger, some hurt. I need to go hunting, I feel like I could take down a bear without even trying. I strip off my boxers and crouch down on all fours letting the shift take place. Within seconds I am running through the trees loving the feel of the run. The freedom.
After a while I head back to the pack house. I run into Dom, next to Caitlyn he is the best friend I have and if and when I become Alpha, he will be my beta. He knows something has been up with me for weeks but he wont push me more for answers. He knows better. Dom is two years older than me and has already left school so he hasn’t
