I did as you asked

Wow! That was the only thing that came to Levy’s mind after she was done listening to Logan. Her wolf let out a rumbling snarl at his audacity for asking help after what he has done to them, but Levy was certain that most of her wolf’s anger was due to him mentioning another woman. 

“ And what makes you think that I will just do as you are asking me to do?” she said ignoring the way her gut twisted when he looked at her. Those grey metallic eyes pierced right through her and Levy almost felt her knees give up before she drew in a breath and calmed herself down. No, she cannot afford to make the same mistake as she did before by trying to get closer to him, not when she knew that the guy only cared about Mavis, so it was better to draw a line before she messes up the situation because of the pull of the mating bond. 

Narrowing her eyes, she tilted her head. “ I mean what does this deal have for me?” 

“ What do you mean by deal?” Before Logan could reply, Elder Hopkins jumped up again momentarily forgetting those fiery canaries that were flying around Levy’s head like a solar system or maybe he was confident enough to think that she wouldn’t make a move against him just because he was hiding behind Logan. 

Did he not know that she hated Logan just as much? 

Her crush leading to infatuation and later heartbreak has long been extinguished, in place of it was nothing but hate. She wanted to move on and forget but the pain she went through was something that left a forever mark on her skin, not one to be seen but it was there and every time she looked at Logan that mark would twitch and scald like she has been burnt.

“It's your responsibility!” elder Hopkins nasally voice as he jumped up and down in indignation causing his pants to slide down only to be pulled back again. “ You are the reason why my daughter is like that, it's your black magic that has caused my daughter to become what she has today! Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself? First, you murdered my elder daughter and then you cursed my youngest one. What do you have against my family?——”

It happened before anyone could stop it, the fiery canaries that were flying over Levy’s head like a golden ring …paused before they all turned to face Elder Hopkins who stopped moving as soon as the fiery canaries did. 

Logan frowned as he stepped forward. “ Don’t you dare, Levy.” 

Too late. 

The canaries shot at Elder Hopkins like fiery cannon balls with shrieks that could have woken up the devil. Elder Hopkins screeched in terror as he turned around to run but the canaries were faster and wilder before he could even take a few steps away from them, they reached him. 

Making sure to peck at spots that would hurt the most.

“ Get them off! Get them off me, I said!” Elder Hopkins flailed his hands as he tried to get off the canaries that were pecking him. “ I said get them off me! I am the Elder of the pack how dare you to treat me with such disrespect?” 

Levy shrugged as she casually rolled back her shoulders and watched the show without batting an eye. Seven years… she was sent to prison for seven years because of this man who blamed her for something that she has never done. 

Getting him pecked by a bunch of fire canaries wasn’t even worth the agony that her toenail got when it banged into something. To think that he will have the audacity to blame her after he has made her suffer so much. “ The only reason that you are standing out here jumping and hopping is that you are the Elder of the pack if you were someone else I wouldn’t have bothered setting fiery canaries at you, I would have set you on fire.” 

“ Levy Taylor Harlow! That’s enough!” Logan’s voice which was brimming with anger and laced with authority snapped at her like a crack of a whip. His icy blue eyes stared at her as if he was wishing to eat her alive.  “ You might want to deny my authority as your Alpha but nothing can change the fact that I am indeed your Alpha. You cannot defy my orders unless I take my protection of you.” 

His protection? 

Levy downright sneered then and there but then her wolf felt a pressure that couldn’t be denied making her spine stiffen. She raised her eyes to look at Logan who was bearing down his Alpha vibes at her and snorted before snapping her fingers. 

The fiery canaries exploded in a puff of heat and black ash, causing Elder Hopkins's face to turn black because of the smoky smudges.

“ Levy!” 

“ What I did what you asked me right?” said Levy with an expression of picture-perfect innocence as she looked at Logan. He asked her to pull the canaries back and she did what he asked what was with him. Snapping at her like that. 

Logan felt a temple throb in his head upon seeing Levy acting as if she hadn’t just attacked someone in front of him. He expected her to go even more timid than she was seven years ago but his expectations seemed to have been turned into smoke—— that girl who lowered her eyes when he looked at her was gone. 

Now she was staring at him with a challenge in her eyes that caused his brows to furrow. Not because he was annoyed but for the first time in his life, his wolf that has always turned a blind eye to a woman raised his head and looked at Levy with a slightly interested glance. What the hell? What was his beast even doing? 

This woman was the one who took Mavis away from them!
