“Leaving already Al..” A loud growling shuts him up and has him taking a step back, he holds his hands up as if in surrender. I can feel Logan’s chest vibrate and I know the growling is coming from him.
“Hey, I’m just joking Logan, you got to calm down dude. What’s going on?” I just glare at him, and Logan starts growling again, and despite my best efforts to remove his arm from around me, he pulls me even closer to him.
“None of your business.” Comes my short reply, Dom just looks from my face to Logan’s.
“Logan?” he questions, but all he gets in return is more growls.
“Huh, you are leaving already. Mind me asking why?” he asks, sounding a little shocked that I would actually be wanting to leave.
“Yes, I mind, and I want to go home. Tell him to let me go.” Logan’s arm gets impossibly tighter, any more and I won’t be able to breathe. Much to my annoyance Dom starts to chuckle to himself.
“What exactly about this situation do you find amusing?” To which he just smiles even more and Logan just growls even more, and I do mean actual growls. If I didn’t know that they were coming from him I would have thought there was an animal here with us. Well I suppose there is really.
“A few things actually... Logan, calm down. I’m just talking to her.” He stops talking to me and concentrates on the beast behind me.
“Are you crazy? How are you having a conversation with him, don’t tell me you can understand the growls? And stop smiling, this isn’t funny. Oh God, this is so not funny” I tell him.
“I can understand him, but that’s for another time, look what you really need to do here is calm your mate down. You are the only one who is going to be able to that, so unless you want him to shred this place apart I suggest you do something.”
“No, I’m not his... I can't be his... he doesn’t even want me to be.” I look up to where I can hear scratching and wood splintering and I can see that Logan’s hand on the door isn’t his normal hand anymore. There are actual claws where his nails should be and his skin has much more fur than I would like. I take a deep breath in and swallow.
“That’s what you think, that he doesn’t want you? Darling you have completely gotten the wrong idea here.” He shakes his head and looks down, contemplating what to say next.
“Look Logan I know you don’t want her to leave but turning all wolfy on her isn’t exactly helping matters here, you’re making it worse. Alex, I’m deadly serious here, you need to calm him down. Despite what you may think, trust me, you have obviously misunderstood something, but you are actually the only person right now who is going to be able to make him calm down”
“I don’t know how. I don’t know what you mean.” He looks at me with nothing but kindness in his eyes.
“You need to let him know that you aren’t going to walk out that door the minute he lets go of you. If there’s a door left of course. Give him chance to explain, he said something, you misunderstood, I get it, just give him a chance. Talk to him. Your touch calms him, like his does to you, but his wolfside is more in control right now. Wolves dont reason as well as humans do. You have to bring Logan back.” With that he walks slowly away and leaves us there.
A quick glance around shows me that the people I passed on the way down the stairs have all gone too. It’s just him and me.
Even though he is holding me against my will and refusing to let me go, I’m still not as scared of him as I probably should be. I don’t fully understand why but I know he wont hurt me. One look at the hand on my waist to the one on the door shows me that. They are two completely different looking hands. So I know he has some control, despite what Dom says, if the hand on my waist had claws like the hand on the door, I’m not too sure I’d be alive right now.
I slowly start to turn around in his tight embrace and put my hands on either side of his face. His eyes are glowing pure molten gold. I try to hold in my shock at seeing his mouth. His teeth have extended over his bottom lip and he has two pointy canines peaking out. This is why he said I should be scared of him.
“Logan, I’ll stay for now, I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself more. I ... I just freaked out.” He doesn’t say anything just stares into my eyes, then he lowers his head to my neck and inhales, I move one of my hands further around his neck and lightly stroke my fingers through his hair.
“Logan?” I say again after he doesn’t move or say anything after about a minute. He takes his hand from the door and he runs a normal human hand through my hair, he bends slightly and scoops me up bridal style making me gasp. I look into his face again, and with the way he is holding me our noses are almost touching, I can see that his teeth have returned to normal too, but
