“Logan...”
“Kidding... Just a week. And no, I’m not kidding.” He takes my hand and leads me back to his room to gather my few belongings that are there and a jacket that he insists on me wearing. With it on however it looks like I’m just wearing the jacket and nothing else.
On the ride back to my house he fills me in a little more on the pack, and explains the different ranks within it. I’m surprised to find out how many there are in the pack and how many packs there are in the world. I’m amazed by how they all manage to live a normal life in society, and not get found out. He tells me how it’s against pack law for a werewolf to show themselves to a human. Unless it’s in an unavoidable position like ours where his mate is human.
My mind instantly shifts to the other wolf that has appeared in my yard and I immediately think about something else while also trying to not send any thoughts his way. I really need to learn how to do that. He gives me a puzzled look but doesn’t push it.
Pulling up my drive he notices something before me and stiffens.
“You have a guest... Again” He says through clenched teeth. I notice his knuckles turning white on the steering wheel, and place my hand on his arm to calm him. It seems to work and he turns to face me.
“I have to speak with him. I need to explain. Its not fair on him.” All the time I’m speaking Logan is just gently shaking his head.
“No.” Is all he says and turns away from me to look out the window at the car parked there.
“Logan, you may be my mate, but if I understand right that doesn’t make you my commander. I can do what I like, and I am going to speak with him. Just speak. Nothing is going to happen.” I put my hand on his cheek and turn his face to mine.
“You don’t have to worry Logan. He wont hurt me, so I’m not in any danger, and I promised, remember?” I lean my head closer to his and place a small kiss on lips. His hands move faster than I thought would be possible and pull me back to him when I move away to kiss me again.
“Ok, I’m coming too.” He says while taking my hand in his.
“Logan be reasonable.” I answer back and pull my hand away.
“This is me being reasonable. I’ll wait in another room, while you talk to him. If he so much as touches you, I break his hand.” A small laugh leave my mouth at his words.
“That is you being reasonable?”
“Yes, I would really like to break his neck for already kissing you. This is me being... controlled. Lets go, the sooner you start talking the sooner he leaves.” He Turns off the engine and takes off his seat belt, this is not going to end well. I can feel it.
“Logan. Please just wait in the car. He’s going to be upset and I don’t want to hurt him anymore than I think I already have. He doesn’t deserve that.” I can see that he is thinking through all the possible scenarios of what could happen.
“No, I’m sorry, I wont take any more risks with you. I don’t trust him.”
“Do you trust me Logan?” I take his hand again and bring his attention back to me.
“Yes I trust you Alexia, but I” I smile and quickly interrupt him.
“Okay then great, stay in the car, I’ll go talk to him, grab some clothes and then we can go back to yours and watch that movie.” Without giving him time to answer I exit the truck and start walking over to Chris’ car. I expect him to get out to meet me but he doesn’t, so I walk round to his side and tap on the window. He gets out not even looking at me and guilt sweeps through me.
“Can we talk inside?” I quietly ask and he moves from his position leaning on his car and makes his way towards my house, he gets there before me and I have to move around him to unlock the door. He hasn’t looked up at me once yet or said a single word.
“Take a seat if you want, I’m just going to go get changed. I guess I’ll be right back.” I make my way upstairs and get changed into leggings and a sweater dress and run a brush through my hair. In all honesty I think I’m just stalling. Trying to figure out what to say. I don’t want to hurt him, but from the way he is acting I’m sure it’s already to late for that.
Plucking up some courage I go back down to find him waiting patiently for me. He starts to talk before I even reach the bottom step.
“Where have you been? I’ve been trying to call you for two days. Amber too. We didn’t know what had happened to you ” He sounds worried but I’ve gotten to know him quite well over the past weeks and I know there’s some anger in his words too. Also by the way that he wont look at me.
“I got into an accident, I’m sorry I didn’t meant to worry you” I slowly keep making small steps until I’m stood almost directly in from of him.
“What, you fell and landed right into Logan’s arms and clothes?” He says keeping his head down, looking at my feet.
“Well sort of yeah”
