AryaI open my eyes and scan the environment around me. The only thing I have been able to smell is vampires for the last god-knows-how-many hours or days I have been here. I have lost track of time, I am always in and out of an unconscious state. I don't feel myself at all. I think I have been poisoned, but I don't know how. My wolf has been silent as if she has left my body. I don't understand anything.The last time I saw Penny and Ella seemed like ages ago. My head feels heavy and my thoughts are clouded. The last thing I remember was Eric's cries and the others whom they took out of the car. I know they have killed him. That is probably what they were up to.Those heartless ungrateful beasts! They killed my brother!Tears start welling up in my eyes. I can't stop them, I don't have to. He was my only close family left. I lost all my parents and now my only brother is gone. Hot tears run afresh down my cheeks. I start to sob and convulse at the same time.This is all I have been
LoganAs per Donovan's instructions, I am supposed to come on my own. I am not stupid though. I have brought my backup. Jordan and Jex have come with me, but they have remained in a vehicle a good distance from the building.Following the directions, I find a white two-story building on the outskirts of the city. Surrounded by a small area of wood and a remote human settlement.I am ushered inside by a redhead vampire without any word exchange. Donovan is waiting for me inside, fitted comfortably on a green couch in the center of what seems to be the living room."I am glad you made it," he says when I come in. A smile spreads on his lips. You must be glad you mother-fucker!"Have a seat," he offers, waving to the other empty sofa in front of the one he is."I would rather not. I didn't come here to a gross in a warm conversation and enjoy your company, you see. I have no time to waste. If you don't mind, I would prefer that we go straight to the issue at hand," I respond calmly."I
Logan I place Arya on the bed and she is sound asleep. Penelope woke up in the middle of the ride and Eric's mate is still equally as traumatized as Arya. We found Eric waiting for us in the living room, and he was so overjoyed to see his mate and sister safe. He carried his mate into his arms and cuddled her in his chest on a sofa in the living room trying to wake her up gently. He missed her though he was trying to be calm and not make her the issue of concern when we were planning to rescue them. Jex carried Kate away to a room. I don't know what is between them but I guess they are friends since they are both Arya's friends. Arya coils immediately when I put her on the bed. I can't imagine the kind of trauma she has been going through for these last two days. She looks like she hasn't eaten or drunk anything for that look. Her lips are dry and cracked, her skin is pale and bruised with small wounds on her arms and legs that seem to be healing so gradually. The blue dress is s
AryaHe is pissed off? Huh? He has no right to be mad right now. After conniving with the vampires to kill my brother and destroy my pack, he still thinks he has the right to go around ordering me and expect me to respond like some idiot.Where the hell does he get the nerve to act normal after all this?He wanted to kill Eric and then saved him? what is that? A sick joke, alright, and he expects me to believe that?I bury my face in my hands in frustration.What am I supposed to do? Act along like everything is fine? Like he was never a part of this?I look at the green dress he has given me to wear. Dinner with my brother.What if he is yelling the truth? Well, there is only one way to prove it.I get up from the bed and decide to get dressed. I apply Logan's lotion and comb my messy hair. The door creaks open and Logan comes in. He slowly approaches me with one hand in his jeans pocket. Despite my anger towards him, he still has the composure of a God. I have been leaning agains
LoganAfter the meal, the first guests to live are Cole and Kurt with their mates. It has been a successful evening, except for my mate pitching me to her friends. I have decided to take it lightly but the empty seat next to mine has made it impossible. I don't get her attitude toward me. I don't understand why on earth she is being so repellent to me.I have managed to keep a jovial hosting mood, and all my guests look satisfied. The next guests to leave the table are Jordan and Katherine."I think we should get going. Thank you for the meal, alpha," Jordan says, pushing back the chairs they were sitting on."Arya, can we meet and talk tomorrow? You can call me and let me know if you are up to it," Katherine tells Arya, a bright grin on her face."I will. Thank you for coming," Arya responds, getting out of her seat and moving to her. The two ladies embrace themselves, being overdramatic, I think, on Katherine's side. "Good night. Take care of yourself," Katherine says to Arya, kis
AryaLogan's eyes penetrate through mine, searching for the truth. I have never seen him so... Hurt? Or is it the wine making him look so sad?I just look at him, speechless. My sense of speech has certainly abandoned me."He picks up the glass of wine and sips looking absentminded for a moment. I stare down at his shirtless body, the muscles of his body tight and bulgy against his frame. There is a dirty trail of hair from his breasts down to his stomach up to his happy trail. My fingers itch to touch him.He looks back at me, his eyes very dark, I can't tell if it is because of being tired or sleepy. He looks so miserable. He looks like a sufferer."Logan, I...," I mumble."You don't have to explain yourself. I understand why you are like this. Now go ahead and carry on, assuming that I wasn't here," he cuts me off and towns on the drink, emptying the glass. "You know, I can't do that," I murmur, feeling totally helpless."Just go away," he whispers, struggling not to bark. His ja
Logan I went to the gym immediately after managing a few hours of sleep. I felt completely exhausted after the sleepless night. I could feel the effect down to my bones. After a complete hour in the indoor gym, I feel refreshed and much better. The events of last night haunted me the whole night. It still disturbs me that my mate has such a mindset about me. I didn't intend for last night to end up the way it did. I had hoped for better. I had hoped for a warm and intimate night so we can make up for the time we lost, but it turned out otherwise. Arya had to run away from me once more. I didn't stop her this time either. She will have to learn on her own that running away from one's problems doesn't make them any less, it just makes them bigger. I know she went to her boyfriend. I wonder where she would have run too if she wasn't here. Oh, she has another friend. He would have been more honoured to host her. Arya has the most effective ways to get on my nerves. I won't deny that I
Arya"I want to make your dreams come true," Logan whispers into my ear while carrying me into the bedroom.Placing me on the bed, he climbs up and hovers over me. He unwraps the towel off me like a child unwrapping his Christmas gift. I lean my head on a pillow and tentatively place my hand on the soft patch of hair over his sternum. His strangled moan arouses me like nothing else.He buries his head in my neck, kissing and sucking and biting me, before trailing his nose up my chin and kissing me, his tongue possessing my mouth, his hands moving over my body once more. His lips move down... down... down to my breasts, worshipping as they go, and my hands stay on his shoulders and his back, enjoying the flex and ripple of his finely honed muscles, his skin still damp from the shower. His lips close over my nipple, pulling and tugging so that it rises to greet his glorious skilled mouth.I groan and run my fingernails across his back. And he gasps a strangled moan."Oh, fuck, Arya,"
