“ You have to be kidding me?” Rachel looked at Logan with eyes that were wide with disbelief. “ What have I done wrong? That man has been getting close to Levy, he is a mage .. a mage who has his eyes locked on our territory but instead of blaming Levy, you are punishing me? What have I done wrong?” “ Are you questioning me?” Logan raised a brow staring at Rachel whose eyes were flashing defiantly at him. He knew that Rachel wasn’t someone who liked submitting, under him she was more than willing but when she was in presence of other shifters where she knew that her pride mattered the most, she would show her defiance side to him. He didn’t find it likeable, it was nice that she was willing to fight but she always fought for the wrong causes and wrong reasons. It was one thing that she has abandoned her duties but it was completely another thing that she has tailed after Levy. She might like to pass it off as, ‘Oh I did it for the pack,’ but Logan knew that there was more to that, s
“ What kind of dumb superstition is that?” Leo who was walking her home closed the door of the restaurant behind him and then looked at her with an arch of his brow. “Just because you sneezed someone is cursing you? Are you being serious right now?” Levy looked at him before shaking her head. “ This is why you are so alone and single till now, you should be you know what listening to what the universe is telling you, make sure to pay attention to the signs and prepare yourself for what is going to come.” “Oh yeah?” Leo raised a brow as he looked at her after closing the door behind him. “ And what is the universe telling you?” “It's telling me to be prepared.” “ For what exactly?” He asked raising a brow as he pointed to the man a few feet away from them. He was rummaging through the trashcan and looked up when Leo pointed at him. “Let's say that man is planning to rob me off and yet instead of telling me what’s going on in the mind of that man, the universe just sends me a sneeze
Levy pulled up her mental bootstraps before she closed the door behind her and then turned to look at Logan, he seemed so effortlessly at ease but at the same time, she could sense that there were certain fluctuations in his eyes. He was tensed yet he was trying his very best to act as if he was unbothered, the same could be said about her bother, the latter seemed to be in fight-or-fight mode as if he was preparing himself to fight a battle that he was going to lose somehow. What the? Just what happened when she was gone? It seemed like forever before the door closed behind her and she hitched up a brow, though Logan’s silence was agonising, she couldn’t show it on her face, if she made it look like she was scared of him, Logan will only come at her even stronger. She has to make sure that no one caught hold of her weakness, this was something that she learned in the prison, the second you show weakness was the moment you lose your battles. “ What's up?” She ignored the way her pul
“ Yeah, you are not stupid enough to let me roam freely but you are wise enough to bring me here no?” scoffed Levy as she rolled her eyes and turned her head to look to the left. Seriously, what was wrong with them? Can’t they see that they were contradicting themselves? Moira’s face flushed but she didn’t say anything turning her head to look at Logan who parted his lips and asked, “ Did you meet with O’Neil?” Talk about jumping straight to the matter. Levy heaved a breath and then turned to look at Logan with a smile as she said, “ I did meet with him but——”“ You heard that? She just said that she met with O’Neil what else do you want?” Moira chimed in with a clipped voice as she turned to look at Jacob with a victorious expression as if she has just won a super hard criminal case. “ And maybe you didn’t pay attention to it but she is still talking,” retorted Jacob with a slightly annoyed expression. She understood Jacob’s feelings, for the first time she felt that she and her b
Levy curled a side of her mouth as she glanced at Logan, her eyes lacking warmth. “ Of course, if you are going to punish me then I have no other choice but to accept it, after all, it won’t be the first time you will be wrongly accusing me of something that I did not do.” He looked back at her and this time she could see that he was really looking at her, not the unwanted responsibility that was pushed on him or the woman who might be responsible for taking away the female he desired, this time his gaze met her head on with curiosity and assessment. She waited for him to say what he wanted to say with her arms dangling on her side awkwardly, she didn’t say anything nor did she interrupt him from speaking. With her mouth tightly pursed, she waited for him to speak, for once she wanted to hear what he really thought of her past his ill feelings.“ Leave us alone,” he finally said sitting up straight as he looked at his enforcers and asked them to leave. Levy frowned slightly, there wa
“ What…What did you say?” Levy double-blinked her eyes as she looked at Logan, not believing what she just heard. Did he really say what she just thought she just heard, was it true? She looked at him with a confused expression on her face and repeated her question, “ What did you just say to me?” “ I said I believe you,” Logan took another couple of steps back, his eyes staring right at her face. “ I might as well regret it but I will trust you this one time.” Levy did not say anything, she just stared at him long and hard before she burst out laughing, loud and harsh laughter echoed in the office. She didn’t know how long she laughed but she did know that she laughed for a long time, Logan didn’t stop her maybe he knew why she was laughing. Taking a long breath, she shook her head as the smile dropped off her face. “ Do you know that the word ‘trust’ sound really disgusting in your mouth? I guess you didn’t huh, or else you would not have dared to say that word in front of me.”S
Because of the agitation, she was feeling, Levy’s voice ended up getting a pitch higher. She couldn’t understand, she really counted…why was he looking at her like he was trying to understand something? Why was he saying things that she no longer wanted to hear? If only he has said the same thing seven years ago, she would not be like this, they wouldn’t be like this. “ You can hate me all you want without me giving you any more reasons to do so,” Logan blinked his eyes, his voice as soft as if he was trying to lull her to sleep. With a quick raise of his hand he pointed to her webbed eye and said, “ As long as this is here, you can hate me as long as you want. Don’t forget what you went through just because I gave an ounce of my trust, I still hate you just as much as I did seven years ago.” “ Of course, you don’t have to tell me.” She scoffed taking a few steps back and turning around to leave the room altogether, Levy was worried that if she was to stay another few minutes alone
“We use to come here when we were young, you remember it right?” Jacob brought her to the fried chicken restaurant that they used to go to every weekend with their mother. Levy looked at the big building with a flashy signboard that read —— Chuck you and for a second she couldn’t even compare it to the small wooden shack that she used to visit when she was ten or twelve. “ It has developed so much,” she murmured as she curiously looked around the entire restaurant, when she used to come here, it was a small building with a few tables and chairs stuffed in a small hall, an elderly grandma with her granddaughter used to fry the chicken nuggets and leg pieces in her special sauce right in front of them but now the entire building went over such a sudden change. The small open kitchen was now replaced by a food counter and the small hall was now big enough for at least a hundred people to fit in. “ You remember the small girl, the one who was called Sharon?” Jacob said as he headed to t
