Frustration gnawed at me as I raced through the deserted streets. The babysitter had assured me the twins were finally asleep, but the delay left a knot of worry twisting in my gut. Every missed text from Lucas amplified my unease.Reaching the bar, the address he'd sent, I skidded to a halt on the sidewalk. The sound of crashing glass and muffled shouts sent a fresh wave of panic crashing over me. Pushing open the creaky door, I was met with a scene of utter chaos.The dimly lit bar resembled a battlefield. Furniture lay overturned, glasses shattered on the floor, and a thick haze of dust hung in the air. But amidst the destruction, the sight that truly stole my breath was the two figures locked in a brutal fight.Lucas and Logan.They moved with a feral intensity, their faces contorted in primal rage. Each blow they landed, each guttural growl that escaped their lips, ripped away a piece of the normalcy I'd begun to believe in. This wasn't the controlled transformation Lucas had des
SKYLARI feel Lucas' lips on mine, his tongue probing my mouth as I moan against him, my back pressed against his solid chest, Logan's body pressed against my front. I can feel Logan's fingers slip inside my shirt, pinching my nipples, and I gasp, my body trembling with desire.The scent of my arousal fills the whole bar, and Lucas pulls away, his eyes dark with desire. Logan stops, and I lean on them, barely able to hold myself up. Lucas' idea of a threesome fills my mind, and I can't help but feel a surge of intense arousal.Logan hesitates, but Lucas tells him that he can go home if he doesn't want to do it. He tells him to smell my arousal, and Logan agrees, his eyes filled with desire.We make our way to Lucas' house, our bodies pressed together, kissing and groping each other. Lucas and Logan are hostile and rude towards each other, but I remain calm, my mind focused on the pleasure we're about to experience.As soon as we're inside, Lucas pushes me up against the wall, his lips
LOGANA dull ache throbbed behind my eyes, a constant reminder of the previous night's chaos. Groaning, I pushed myself up,wincing as a sharp pain flared in my shoulder. Dazed, I looked around the unfamiliar room. Sun peeked through a gap in the curtains, casting long shadows across the worn furniture.Then I saw them. Skylar, nestled between me and Lucas – Lucas, still fast asleep, his face peaceful in a way I hadn't seen in years. A wave of emotions – confusion, irritation, and a flicker of something else entirely – washed over me.Untangling myself from the tangle of limbs, I gently placed a kiss on Skylar's forehead. Her eyes fluttered open, a look of surprise, then relief, washing over her face."Morning," I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.She smiled, a warm, sleepy smile that sent a strange warmth through me. "Morning," she whispered back. "How are you feeling?""Like I wrestled a bear," I admitted with a grimace. "And maybe lost."A flicker of amusement crossed her eyes, bu
LUCASA cold dread settled in my stomach when I couldn't find Logan in the bedroom. The house, once filled with the comforting presence of Skylar, now felt empty and ominous. A surge of protectiveness washed over me, the primal instinct to protect kicking in.He was in the hallway, his back to me, his gaze fixed on a framed photograph. The familiar image of our mother, a radiant smile illuminating her face, tugged at the threads of my composure. He hadn't changed a thing in this house, a silent testament to the past that refused to die.I stood beside him, the weight of the shared memory pressing down on me. This was the only thing that remained, a tangible link to a time before the world shattered."We need to go," I said, my voice low. The words hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of the reality beyond these four walls.Logan didn't respond, his gaze still locked on the photograph. A flicker of something, perhaps pain or regret, crossed his face before the familiar mask of indif
SkylarA dull ache throbbed in my head as consciousness slowly seeped back into my senses. The soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the curtains created a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Stretching out, I realized I was alone in the bed.Groaning, I pushed myself up, my body protesting the unfamiliar surroundings. Where were they? A wave of panic washed over me as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. The house was eerily quiet, the only sound the ticking of the clock on the nightstand.I pulled on Logan's oversized shirt and Lucas's shorts, feeling strangely comfortable in their borrowed clothes. The house was still quiet, an unsettling silence that made my skin crawl.Venturing into the kitchen, I found Lucas at the stove, flipping pancakes with an almost domestic grace. Logan stood by the window, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his gaze fixed on the street below.The contrast between the two was stark. Lucas, the responsible older brother, taking care of
SKYLARSitting at my desk, I sift through reports, my fingers tapping a rhythmic pattern on the keyboard. The soft hum of the office is my only companion until Angela bursts in, a whirlwind of energy and curiosity."How’s the love life, Sky?" she chirps, her eyes twinkling with mischief.I glance up, a small smile tugging at my lips. "Fine, I guess."Angela perches on the edge of my desk, leaning in conspiratorially. "Guess what? I’ve heard some juicy rumors.""Rumors?" I raise an eyebrow, feigning ignorance."About you and the two L's. Spill it, girl."Taking a deep breath, I look her in the eye. "Okay, okay. I had sex with both Lucas and Logan."Angela's eyes widen, then she claps her hands together in glee. "Finally! Took you long enough. So, how was it?"I chuckle, feeling a bit more at ease. "It was… amazing. But, I’m a bit worried.""Worried? Why?""I don’t know how to handle this. I mean, what if they find out about each other?"Angela tilts her head, her expression turning ser
LOGANPacing around the living room, I straightened the photos on the wall for the tenth time. Everything had to be perfect. Skylar had to like it. She just had to. My heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of my steps. The door creaked open, and I heard them."Logan, we're here."I plastered on a smile and walked over. "Welcome, Skylar. Lucas."Skylar smiled, and Lucas gave a curt nod. Ignoring him, I focused on her. "Dinner's ready."We moved to the dining room, and I pulled out Skylar’s chair, gesturing for her to sit. She smiled again, and I felt a surge of relief. Lucas rolled his eyes but took his seat without comment. I took my place at the head of the table, the seat of authority, making sure Skylar was settled next to me.Dinner began smoothly enough. I made sure to give Skylar the best portions, my eyes darting to her plate more often than necessary. I wanted her to feel special, to see how much effort I’d put into tonight. Lucas watched, his gaze hard, but he said n
LucasThe moment I stepped into Logan's house, I felt the tension. His passive-aggressive demeanor was suffocating, and I had to hold myself back from punching him right then and there. He pretended not to notice me, barely acknowledging my presence. I had given up an important meeting for this, and Logan was doing everything he could to make it harder.The search at the pack entrance was just the beginning. Making me late, wasting my time—it was all part of his game. I clenched my fists, trying to stay calm. At dinner, he had me seated far from them, treating me like an outsider. My blood boiled. I was this close to standing up and knocking the smug look off his face. But I knew better. Logan had always been irrational, acting without thinking.As dinner ended, they escorted me to a bedroom. I had to admit, it was impressive. Logan had gone all out. But then, of course, he had to ruin it. He pulled Skylar to himself, kissing her right in front of me. My teeth gritted in frustration a
LucasIt was taking longer to get home, and I began to worry about what had happened to Skylar. I urged Logan to drive much faster. "The children are in the car. We should be more cautious about how we accelerate." Logan told me."Skylar is home and in danger. We should be more cautious about how we handle the situation." I answered, and he let out a deep sigh before accelerating the car. I was considering urging him to slow down the car, but I had previously challenged him once. Something ruptured the tires just as we were about to drive down the next street, causing the control to veer unevenly.My eyes widened as I clutched the children closer to me. I closed my eyes, and Logan struggled to handle the car until we collided with a tree and came to a stop. Logan's head rested on the driving wheel, and I could feel myself fading away gradually. After what felt like a lifetime, I awoke from my daydream, and it appeared like Logan was also waking up. We clambered out of the car as ou
Skylar I dropped the call, and turned to face Freya, pretending I hadn't heard that she orchestrated the plot. I took a few long breaths and proceeded to sit right next to her, but the look on her face was unsettling. "Have the kids been found?" Freya inquired, but I simply giggled in an attempt to disregard the question. "I know the kids have been found." She spoke shortly after. "Then why did you have to ask me?" I responded, attempting to draw away from her, but she pushed closer, her eyes glistening with horror. "I could even sense that from your demeanor.""But why are you doing that? Freya, how dare you? I challenged her, knowing she was aware of my knowledge of her role in the kidnapping plot, but she reacted with a gruff giggle."I don't need a reason," she continued, her voice as calm and gloomy as possible. "I despise you with all my soul and would like you to experience pain.""You are not at my standard at all, so how do you hope to have great things?" I questioned her
LoganI expected Lucas to talk about notifying Skylar about this, but as I picked up my phone to call her, Lucas stopped me and showed me. He turned up the volume on the speaker, and we could all hear it perfectly. "Hello, Skylar. Are you fine?" I asked, trying to keep my comments as quiet as possible so she wouldn't suspect anything yet. "I am fine. I feel great. How is the situation now?" She inquired, her tone full of desire. "Skylar, guess what?" I questioned, about to tell what was on her mind, but I sensed she was either thinking we'd seen the kids and rescued them, or that we'd arrived and discovered they were dead."Skylar!! We found the kids!" Logan yelled, and she could hear the two boys behind her speaking quietly. She screamed with pleasure over the phone, and the sound deafened me as I pondered how she would have raised her voice from where she was. I pulled the phone back to my ears, taking it from the loud speaker as I spoke sincerely with her, glancing at Lucas the
Chapter 111Lucas's POVLogan did not ask me what I did to Jackson, but the look on his face indicated I had possibly killed him. We understood ourselves well, but we didn't relate. I'm sure he knows I killed my Beta to defuse the situation. Sparing someone that horrible would only wreak disaster. What tempted him to do that shit with Freya?The children trembled in the car, and their lips shook violently. They were exhausted from the bindings around their necks, and their lips appeared lame."Can you speak, Andrew? If you can't, don't say anything just yet. We genuinely care about you and do not want anything terrible to happen to you." Logan spoke from the driver's seat. "Yes, I can," Andrew exclaimed. I was ready to hear him out now. Logan turned his attention back to see the kids' expressions as they explained what they had in mind "It happened when Mum gave us to someone who would drive us to our destination as usual. And then we recognized the man driving us wasn't Lucas, but
SkylarMy stomach churned as I gripped the walls. I'd been feeling weak for quite some time, especially since Logan and Lucas had gone ahead to find the kids. I was also silently praying that nothing bad happened to them. I prayed they wouldn't get lost while trying to save those who had gotten lost. If there was one thing I was truly afraid of, it was my children being killed, harmed, or even lost in the hands of someone I did not know. The more I blamed myself for putting the children's lives in danger by failing to check who was driving, the weaker I felt. Dana met my gaze, and I nodded briefly. She rushed to meet me, dropping her head."I did not call you. I was just staring at you. Anyway, what are you up to?" I asked, sighing heavily. "Actually, Angela is about to leave, and I'd like to accompany her and make something for lunch. You haven't eaten in days, and it's definitely affecting you. Just be patient while we go and come back. We won't take too long," she replied, and m
FreyaWhen I realized how far I'd gotten with my dark arrangements, a big grin spread across my lips. The morons around me believe the deception, but just now, I was overjoyed that my plan had been fulfilled. I had no idea when mom entered the living room and stood in front of me, wondering if I had gone insane. "Why are you zoning out?" She questioned suspiciously. "Oh, mum, you're here," I murmured, rising to my feet before settling back into the chair. I was literally hyper, and I knew why. "I had an absolutely fantastic day. "Isn't it worth smiling at?" I inquired, a huge smile forming on my chin. She shrugged her shoulders and took a step nearer, focusing her eyes at me as if she suspected something else. "I love you so much and truly mean it. If there's anything I can do to assist you deal with the bitch, please let me know. I'll definitely help you," she murmured, but I stroked her back while she stroked mine."Huh?" She inquired again, possibly assuming I didn't recogniz
LucasWe argued for several minutes about who was to blame for our relationship's issues, but he never agreed. He had made some claims that were all lies!We ultimately arrived at where we would park our cars. I took a big breath as we both exited the car. Suddenly, we were working together again. Our current motivations had shifted. "Please keep your composure as we enter. Logan told me, "This is the main reason we came here." I nodded. We both pushed a smile to our faces to indicate that we were no longer annoyed with one other, at least for the time being.Then we crept into the place. The location that the signal sent us to. My sight shifted to the figures at a close range. The boys were truly tied up and crying."Oh my goodness!" Logan muttered, pressing his fists to his chest as he went to untie the children. I looked around to check if anyone was around, but I couldn't see anyone. I rushed into this haven, ensuring that my pistol was still in my pocket, in search of Jackson.
LoganI'd been on the road for a few minutes, and Lucas's question was nagging me. I wanted to offer him the most accurate answer, but do I even know what it is? "I'm actually surprised that you're asking me this," I remarked to him, reducing the car's acceleration now that we were so near to our destination. "I do not hate you, and I never have. When it comes to leaving you behind for an extended period of time, I believe you should also discuss yourself. You're too busy to join me for lunch or dinner. Wait, why would we even do that?""That is exactly my issue. You don't care about it, and you've did not make an effort to make this work between us.""Do not state this as if it were a girl-boy relationship. We should be close to one another. Of course. However, I believe that efforts to achieve this should come from both sides, not just myself. Don't you understand what I am saying?" I spoke back to him. "Of course. Skylar has always been busy, but taking her to lunch was somethin
LucasI walked home when I couldn't find the signal, as we had previously agreed. I took several calm breaths and returned home, where I listened to the toys transmitting radio waves. Skyler was there alongside me, but she didn't know how these things worked. "Did you find anything yet?" She inquired, her tone filled with concern and dread."Please be patient. Logan is also investigating, and we'll get to the bottom of this soon." I said, took a big breath, and ultimately received the signal. When she noticed my eyes widening, she realized I'd spotted something which had captured my attention.Logan entered as well, and that was the very first thing I mentioned."I found the signal!" I said, and a huge grin formed on his lips just as he was going to lean back on the sofa and take a break from a lot of hard work "We need to get going now. We don't have the time to waste." He spoke to me, and Skyler moved closer to us. I clutched her waist and planted a fast kiss on her chin. She smi
