“ Are you all right?” Jesse raised his head to look at Logan when the latter came striding inside the office with a loud bang. What was even more, his face was twisted to the point that he might have as well auditioned for playing the role of a demon." I am fine," there was no way Logan could have told anyone about the humiliation that he just faced. What was he supposed to say anyway? That he completely embarrassed himself in front of Levy? That would be adding salt to his wound!“ Then why are you looking like you want to eat someone alive?” asked Jacob as he placed the documents that he was reading on the table and looked at Logan with a frown, “You look like you want to commit cold-blooded murder. “'It's your sister’ was what Logan wanted to say but he somehow managed to hold himself back as he simply looked at the documents on the table and said, “ Is O’Neil here?” “ He came a few minutes ago,” answered Jesse with a frown. “ I told him that it was rude of him to come to our te
“ What did you say?” Logan was sure that he heard something wrong, there was no way that this man just said what he just said right, surely he misheard him, right? However, even though he pretended as if didn’t hear a thing that Derek said, Logan still intensified his alpha vibes, maybe it was because of anger at the audacity of this man looking down at him or maybe it was simply him being annoyed by the presence of this mage in front of him. “ Won’t you sit down? It’s going to be a long conversation,” said Derek as he placed the cup in his hands back on the saucer and then snapped his fingers as another cup appeared in front of him. He picked up the teapot and poured a generous amount of tea into the cup before sliding it to the other side. “ Offering tea is basic courtesy and so is drinking it but I can see that you do not trust me in the least that’s why I won’t ask you to drink it but the least you can do is sit down and have a proper conversation like a decent gentleman.” “ You
Derek's smile widened as he leaned forward on the table and hummed softly. “ What else? I heard that she is a rather strong witch, if so doesn’t it make sense for her to be with a mage? I see no reason as to why she should even bother mating with a wolf and degrading the magical blood flowing through her veins. Don’t you think so too?” Jacob would have lunged at Derek if not for Logan holding him back, his beta glared at the man in front of him and let out a bone-chilling growl. “ Do you mean to say that you are going to use my sister as some sort of breeding cow? Is that what you are saying?” “ Isn’t it still better than her staying with the man who ruined her life by throwing her in the prison for more than seven years?” Derek unclasped his hands and placed the back of his palms on the picnic table as he raised his brow at Jacob. “ I might sound a bit disrespectful but I can assure you that I will treat your sister nicely at least,” he turned to look at Logan. “ I will take care o
“What about it?” Logan did not know why Derek brought the wizard association out of nowhere but he knew that the man wouldn’t have come here without a backup plan and sure enough a second later he heard him say, “ I heard a very fascinating thing a few days ago,” getting up from his seat, Derek straightened his jacket as he looked at Logan with an expression that could neither be counted as smug nor could it counted as amused. “ From what I heard you sent Levy straight to the frost gate prison without any concrete evidence, is that right?” His gaze wasn’t inquisition, it was certain and confident as he stared up at Logan before smilingly patting Logan on his shoulders. “ What if this small information ends up reaching the association? You might not know this but because of the increasing number of witch hunts and mage murders, the association is clearly very sensitive about any sort of injustice happening to a witch or wizard, in fact, they are even going around the city making round
“ Enough!” Logan turned to look at Jacob and Moira, his head was already throbbing enough and yet these two were fighting like cats and dogs. Wheeling around he swept his cold gaze at the two before whispering in a deadly voice, “ Is the trouble not enough that you two have to join in the fray as well?” Both of them lowered their heads but Logan could sense that Jacob wasn’t willing to let go of the matter, his dissatisfaction with him coursed inside him through the pack bond causing Logan to look at Jacob with a slight frown, hands behind his back he peered at his beta before parting his lips and speaking softly, “ If you had so many things to say then why didn’t you say anything before? After seven years why now?” Jacob raised his head though he didn’t unleash his dominant vibes the defiance in his eyes was pretty visible. “ How was I supposed to say anything? Would you have listened if I said anything to you back then? You didn’t even give Levy a chance to defend herself. You wou
“What are you doing here?” Jacob too noticed Levy standing outside the main building, he walked closer to her after climbing down the stairs completely ignoring Moira’s haughty scoff. He didn’t want to start anything with her again and especially not in front of Levy, he came to a stop in front of his sister feeling a pang of guilt when she raised her head and that webbed eye pierced right into his eyes. Levy too noticed the guilt that flashed in Jacob’s eyes, though she would have blasted him off for looking at her with that sympathetic gaze in the current situation Jacob’s guilt worked just fine for her in fact it would be nice if he could throw in a bit of pity as well. “ Why can’t I come to see you?” she asked while twisting a lock of her flaming red curls. “ I thought that you said that I can come and see you whenever I want to, didn’t know that I had to book an appointment to see my brother. If you are busy then I can leave——” she even turned around as if she was going to walk
Levy heard footsteps coming after her, at first she thought that the one following her was Jacob but when a familiar scent wafted over to her nostrils filling up every fibre in her body, she stiffened and increased her pace. She was afraid that if she was to stop right now, she will really pounce on Logan, not because she was feeling something tingly in her abdomen but to scratch the f*ck out of his face. This dumbass!“ Did you really do something? Is that why you are running away from me?” His voice called from behind causing Levy to pause suddenly, she was furious enough to beat the heck out of him and here he was fuelling her anger to the point where she felt like she was being goaded by the devil himself. “ What do you mean by that? What did I do?” She whirled around to face him, her face full of annoyance. She didn’t have time for him nor did she have the time to worry about him being a pain in the ass either. “ Jacob.” He spat her brother’s name as if he was announcing her gr
“ What do you mean that it works too? How in the world does this work?” Leo returned with the tray and placed it on the kitchen aisle with a bang, his sharp eyes cut to Levy and he snapped in annoyance. “ We hired her to work here, not show a bunch of magic tricks! If she does the work like this then what are we paying her for?” Kyle raised his head and looked at Leo with exasperation, Levy too could understand why he was annoyed by Leo’s action. It was true that Levy was hired for working in the kitchen but neither of them said that she couldn’t use magic to finish her job and it wasn’t like she wasn’t doing a good job. The dishes were being cleaned faster than they would have been by hand, so there was no need to make things complicated.“ Leo, can you keep a reign on that straight lace attitude of yours?” questioned Kyle as he handed the newly plated dish to the other server and wiped his hands on the clean apron. “ What matters is that the work is getting done, there is no need f
