*Logan* The sand beneath my feet is cool, a stark contrast to the heat racing through my veins. It’s been an endless journey, moving through those dreams that felt more like trials, each one a step closer to... what? Healing? Or my ultimate downfall? The fields, the forests, the ghostly city… all of it seemed like a twisted path laid out by fate, or perhaps by my own fractured psyche. My wolf, my on and off companion in this inner world, has been silent lately. He warned me, urged me to face my demons, to heal not just the flesh but the soul. I thought I was making progress, even felt strength coursing back into me. But now, that strength wanes, leaving a weariness so profound it feels like chains around my limbs. And then, suddenly, there's Hadley. My beacon in the darkest night. Her presence on this desolate beach is a balm to my tattered heart. “Logan,” She calls, waving at me. “There you are my love. Come here.” The sight of her, the sound of her voice, it's everything. I r
*Hadley* The chaos unfolds with a speed that leaves my heart racing, the medical team's swift movements a blur around Logan's bed. I'm frozen, watching through a haze of fear as they work to stabilize him, the beeping of the machines escalating into a frenzy that mirrors the panic in my veins. LZ's grip on my shoulder is both a comfort and a reminder of the reality we're facing. "He has to be okay," I whisper, more a plea than a statement. The thought of losing Logan, of a world without his strength and love, is unbearable. But something suddenly hits me and beneath the layers of fear and desperation, anger starts to simmer…a fierce, burning rage against Ryan for orchestrating this nightmare. Once the immediate frenzy subsides and the doctors manage to stabilize Logan again, I pull LZ aside, away from the prying eyes and ears of the hospital staff. “What is it, Hadley?” He asks, clearly having read something on my face. "This is Ryan's doing, it has to be" I say, my voice low
*Hadley* “When are we going to be there ?” I look out the window of the bus, but there is not much to see. We are in the middle of nowhere, somewhere outside Austin in Texas and it’s dark outside. There had been a big accident on the freeway and after being stuck for hours our driver suggested taking the back roads around the traffic jam to get us there. “Patience sweetie”. My manager Ryan says with a sleazy grin. “We will be at the hotel soon enough”. Suddenly I have no real desire to get there or to have to do what his eyes tell me will come. Okay you better get my story, just to understand everything clearly, so you know who I am and my life and such. My name is Hadley King, I know it sounds all fancy, unfortunately my early life was anything but that. I was abandoned as a baby, with no idea who my real parents are, found by the backdoor of a burger king in New York, that is how I got my last name, someone seemed to find it funny or cute. I grew up in foster homes, I gues
*Logan* “What the fuck was that ?” There is a sound like a small explosion up on the road about a mile away. We are sitting around one of the fire pits out in the backyard, but Being a werewolf it’s no problem to hear the sound at this distance, especially not at night with only the sound of the flickering flames to muddle it. Jax turns his head towards the sound .. right then there is a new sound. “Sounds like something crashing ... an accident maybe”. “I think we better go check”. AJ says, getting up ... stretching like he expects to be able to see something. “Someone could be in trouble”. I nod. “Yeah ... you are right, let’s take the pickup”. We hurry out to the car, my dog Luna on my heels and I let him come too, sitting in my lap as Jax takes the wheel. It would have been faster to change to our wolf form, but then we would arrive naked and that tend to raise a lot of questions “It’s a bus”. AJ comment as we get closer. “Looks like ... a tour bus or something ... it’s in
*Logan* “You think they are triplets ... or sisters ?” AJ mumbles in a low voice, nodding towards the three very similar girls walking a bit ahead of us chatting excitedly. I shake my head. “Nah ... they are just like fashion clones ... doppelgangers in matching puffy jackets”. I hear a chuckle from the other side of the road where Lee is trotting along.. he hasn’t said a word while we walked.. but he has been throwing a stick for Luna and scratched him behind the ear, so my dog is trotting happily along beside him, a stick in his mouth. “Not sure if I find them scary or weirdly attractive”. AJ sighs, looking after the girls. I chuckle and Lee lets out a snort ... I think it was an amused sound. Then I shake my head. “Whichever it is ... better stay away AJ, you’ll just get burned ... also they are what twenty-one … Twenty-two ... just nah”. “Hey, I am like almost ... half your age .. but yeah, okay, you are right ... as always”. He shrugs. “Not really my type ... types ... wh
*Logan* After we unloaded all their bags and got them inside, which took some time as there was quite a lot of stuff. I talked a bit to Ryan, even though he still annoys me and told him they can stay in the tents tonight, it will be easier for them to get help tomorrow. “Have you seen my phone ?” I ask AJ as I walk into the living room. He shakes his head. “No, not since before your shower”. “Hmm I might have put it in my room”. I turn to walk out again. “Hey Logan, by the way Lee is using your shower, just so you, don’t just walk in”. He calls out, and I give him a nod to say I have heard him. I walk down to my bedroom, the door is slightly ajar, and I can hear the water running in the bathroom, so I expect he is in there. Okay so no problem just taking a look if I left the phone on my bedside table. Slipping into the room I freeze, and it takes me a moment to realise what I am seeing. Lee naked, his back to me. “Shit sorry man, I didn’t mean too ...”. I cut myself off when I
*Logan* Normally I am not really a morning person, but honestly I woke up after some weird ass dreams about Hadley that I can’t really shake and Luna was whimpering to get out, so now I am finding myself on my back porch letting her out on the grass shortly before 7 am as the sky is growing red in the east. “Go on out girl”. I slide open the porch door, shivering slightly from the cold wind ... but well cooling down a bit is what I need, some of those dreams were ... lets just say pretty R-rated. Luna runs out on the grass, but turns to look at me, making a whimpering sound, making me shake my head. “No girl, daddy is staying here ... run along and do your thing”. She makes a sound and I swear she is calling me a wanker making me chuckle. I look towards the tents, she is in there, right there, in her bed wearing ... stop Logan ... fuck why am I so attracted to her ? I mean she is pretty ... beautiful even and those legs ... stop it ... what I mean is that I meet a lot of stunning
*Hadley* “Where the fuck have you been Hadley”. Ryan says as I walk into the tent. He is pacing with his phone pressed to his ear. The snear makes him almost look like the demon he is. I make sure not to look him in the eyes, but not look away either. “I was outside watching the sunrise ... I couldn’t sleep”. “Hmm make sure you are ready to go when I get hold of some transportation”. He says, turning his back to me. “Uhm Ryan ... about that. I have an idea ... for the video”. I bite my lips. I need to sell this. I am not ready to go. I can’t leave Logan just yet. I can’t give up hope. “What about we shoot it here -.. imagine the contrast to the outfits, the song and then this grand beautiful nature, it will be breathtaking and very different and Logan will let us stay for free”. He looks thoughtful for a moment. “You got something there ... all the pop videos right now are shot at clubs or cool places ... this would stand out and you are famous enough to stand out ... We coul
