The next day when I came back from my fake illness, I considered that day the best day because an angel encountered me. And that angel came by my locker again today. "Aphrodite?" I was surprised by a sudden voice that had me speaking a bit, thinking it was Logan. I know that's not his voice. I was expecting to start another day this morning, but as I closed my locker and faced the person behind it, I was stunned. Paul Walker My ass. I wish it's possible, but Paul is in a better place now, and even if we're still alive and had a son who looks just like him, then I wouldn't be joking around - but he has a brother. Although, he wouldn't be a high school student. No, the person talking to me was my high school's pretty boy, top of his class and overachiever, not to mention Paris's boyfriend, Clark Mason. "H-hi-h-hi..." I was stammering and stuttering. I think both are the same expression I'm giving off Clark, and he's looking at me as if I'm having a seizure. I mean, it's Clark Mas
It's been a long time since I could talk to someone and nothing happened to her. I worried that she would get hurt if she got too close to my personal space. I let people out of my life, expecting them to ignore me. But, the only people that had somehow cracked a hole in my invisible wall were Logan and Lily.I hope everything between Lily and me isn't going too fast that we would hang out now that she talked to me."Hey, can I have your number?"I looked at her and told her, "No.""What? Oh, come on." She whined. "Don't be so cruel. I thought we were friends here.""We are," I admitted, re-reading the lines."Then why can't you give me your number?'"Because it's broken, my replacement won't arrive until tomorrow," I told her. After Hurricane Athena ended, I had to call for a replacement, and luckily we have insurance in case something would give the carrier to provide us with a brand new phone. But, it doesn't arrive until tomorrow morning. I'm stuck being phone-less."Oh, then I ca
Students in the hall all pass by, but their eyes would land on us while they walk by."Clark Mason," Lily whispered in shock, like how I was when he started talking to me. Her eyes and mouth were wide open to let the bugs fly in. Then when she snapped out of it, she started nudging my arm. "You talked with Clark Mason? How is he talking to you?"I ignored Lily's excitement that the school idol was talking to us, but he approached us because he only came for one person."Hey, Aphrodite," he smiles, "going to sixth period?"Well, duh, Sherlock, it's the last class.This guy has been bugging me since I said no to dating him, and now he thinks it's okay that we talk like buddies. I mean, since he spoke to me first as we talked like friends, I felt he was coming on to me strong, and a gut feeling tells me that he would never quit.Not once did he listen to me each class yesterday when I told him to stop following me to my classes. Talking about the Supernatural only made the awkwardness be
"Run by me that again?" Logan's voice became dark as he asked. I heard Liam whispering to his twin to stop, but that didn't help."That's right, Aphrodite and I are dating, and as her boyfriend, I suggest you get the hell away from her, or there will be consequences." Clark threaten."Oh, brah, you don't know the meaning of consequences because that is what I intend to do when I rip your throat out." His husky voice means that he is serious about hurting Clark. Logan is twice his size because of all the abs he's packing, and I don't think Clark has a chance. So, words are his offense and defense."Well, brah, if you don't want to get in trouble like from your old school. You don't want to give tension to your new friends. So, I suggest you back off."Even with the pain, I had turned slowly to take a peek at Logan and saw he didn't hesitate to tackle Clark. Even with the same age range, Logan is so much bigger and could physically hurt Clark, but mentioning his old school had to stop t
Ugly.That's what I see.Standing in front of my mirror wearing the ugliest outfit I had ever come up with made me regret agreeing with this date. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I have no clothes to wear on one date. Just a precise date, and I'm overbearing on what I will wear. Clark texted me earlier, and he's taking me out to someplace fancy."Dress nice and sexy for me.""Ugh!" I scratched my hair, frustrated I caused the whole house to shake, then a loud knock on the door made me jump."Effie?" My sister opened my door. "What's wrong? Why are you yelling?" She blinked. "What are you wearing?"I turned from the mirror and gave her my sad puppy look expression made her worried. "Athena~ help~."Twenty minutes later, I told her everything. Athena sat on my bed, and I sat on the floor, looking glum for a first date."I see," she rubbed her chin, thinking seriously. "So, you're going on a date with this Clark Mason guy to get Logan jealous?""I did not say jealous!" I bellow
It wasn't long before our date took us to a classy, expensive diner downtown. It was a quiet restaurant with a few people who wanted to enjoy and soft music from the pianist played as we ate. Between bites, Clark and I talked about a few things similar or what we like and dislike, and honestly, I enjoyed myself with him. Clark can be a tease, but he's sweet and does live up to his title as a Prince at school."Well, isn't this a surprise," I heard a female voice as I looked up to see Heather Seely wearing an elegant black gown that fits perfectly around her slim body made me ashamed of my wearing a loose dress? "Clark, I didn't know your here and with a date. You must be the girl he talked about. I'm Heather, his cousin.""Yeah, I know. Nice to meet you.""Heather, our table is over there," My body stiffened once I heard that familiar voice as it made it freeze. "Effie?"Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap!"You know her, Logan?""No, not really," I felt a pang in my heart when he said that. "But
"Effie," I looked up and saw Clark. "Can we talk?""I'll see you later," Lily left, leaving me with Clark."I got nothing to say to you." I scowled and started walking off when Clark stepped in front of me."Effie, please just let me explain.""Explain? You want to explain why all of a sudden your cousin went to the same restaurant with Logan." I snapped. "Are you trying to piss me fucking off?""I thought you didn't like him.""I don't!" I heaved and calmed my nerves. "I don't. But, you could have told me she would be going to the same restaurant. There are plenty of others, and they picked the same one.""I didn't know she would go to the same place we went. I swear.""Forget it, I'm tired, and I want to go home," I said while rubbing my face. "I had a great time, but Logan being there just ruined things for me. I could get over him and like you but seeing him with Heather...forget it. Bye, Clark."He didn't say a word and knew right then he was guilty. I walked around him again whe
"You okay, Aphrodite," Logan's voice softens as he holds me. I shivered in his arms, covering my face away from the scariest thing that had happened to me.Just take a breather. Breath in and out.I told myself as I gathered much of the air around me until my body was calmer and my heart was steady. And the alluring scent coming off from Logan's own body makes things faster for me.Damn, he smells so good.Okay, wait - no, do not think about how good Logan smell in this situation.Aphrodite, focus. Focus!I was almost raped, and if Logan hadn't been there to save me, then living shouldn't be my priority. I will kill myself and save the trouble of being humiliated."Damn, you pack a punch, Wolfe," I heard Clark coming out of the closet. I turned my head to see him picking up his pants and pulling them up as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. "I guess those muscles aren't for showing off after all."Logan growled.I could feel his muscle jerked, trying to keep himself held
Hello to my readers! This chapter is the last chapter for LOGAN and just to warn you it's a bit longer and I don't want to split it in half because this is an epilogue. I deeply apologize and would like to say thank you for joining me on this journey with completing book 1 of The Wolfe Brothers series. See you guys in book 2! It had been a week since the incident with Heather, and I was ready to return to school, acting as if nothing had happened. The next day I treated it like any other ordinary day. Forget about the past and move on with the future. After spending my recovery at my grandfather's home for a week, some students think I had an accident. Although I'm healed, I had to get a weekly check-up to see if I'm fully recovered to do anything. I contacted Lena and told her part of the truth as to why I was missing that weekend, and she forgave me and requested I work extra hard. It turned out she will be planning to have my EP album out soon for Christmas with original song
"Effie, what's wrong, baby?" Logan came out of the bathroom as quickly as he saw me taking out the comforters.My leg throbs, but I didn't want to leave my virgin blood on the silk covers."We need to burn these sheets," I said, struggling to remove the comforters while naked, and Logan was enjoying the view. "Can you not stare and help me.""I could see this every day," he smirked, leaning on the bathroom door frame - naked. His cock was still erect after making love."Why don't you take a picture?" I told him with a grunt."Why should I when I have the real deal," he chuckled."Logan, please help. I just had sex with you for the first time, and I'm a bit sore down there." I hissed from a slight pang. "Oh... Wow""Yeah, you will get used to that," he chuckled and was amused by my glare. "Here, let me do it-," Logan said as he tried to take the blanket, but I jerked it away."Go take the other end.""Damn, you're so bossy. Did our lovemaking change you?" He asked as a joke."No, it's
Logan got off the bed, removing his pants and boxers, while I quickly did the same with my clothes and took off my bra and underwear. I sat naked on the bed, staring at the beautiful creature.Logan stood there all whole naked specimen looking mighty fucking fine. Logan was a living working art, his olive skin so tempting to touch. Every move gave away his strength. Every inch of his body was drool-worthy; his abdomen was a sculpture to perfection as his six-pack popped instantly, giving off the impression that he was reborn once again as a Hawaiian God. In his past life, he must have been a warrior, strong and loyal. His biceps were the size of my head. For an eighteen-year-old guy, he worked pretty hard to earn those muscles.But what caught my attention was his cock that sprung. I swallowed hard as my eyes grew wide. I know what I'm getting myself into, but should I wait? His cock was huge, and I didn't think it would fit me.Logan took something from his wallet that appeared to b
I gaze at the girl in the mirror. The looking glass wall-mounted, encircled by a frame of threadlike strands of silver, interlaced together in a mock-cable arrangement.The luminosity of the light shone through the whole bathroom as I studied myself. After a long shower, I called for cleansing. Three days I have not bathed, and it's revolting.I turned over, wiped the fog off the mirror, and stood there looking at myself, taking in every detail, shape, size, and color. The mirror shows me what the whole world can understand. A girl with scars, long black hair, and silver eyes; covered in scars and the faded purple bruise around my abdomen where Heather kicked me at the same place. It doesn't hurt nearly as much now.Everything I've been through since that accident was full of fright, frustration, and loneliness. Then through my teenage years, however lonely, isolated, and neglected by others who saw me as a threat. Meeting Lily changed my thoughts about people; we became loyal friend
While the mood goes too emotional, I spotted Terry not getting into this happy moment. I pulled back from the family hug. "Hey guys, can you leave for a moment? I want to talk to Terry."Everyone saw how serious my tone was and walked out. Before he left with the others, Logan planted a quick kiss and told me he would be outside if I needed anything.Once everyone left as Logan closed the door. It was just Terry and me.I say straight up as Terry stands there with his hands behind his back. It was quiet and awkward. Honestly, I'm nervous, but I got to let it all out and ask. I want to know if Terry's the person from my childhood. Pivoted flashbacks in my mind as I remembered the older girl."Terry?""Yes?" He answered formally.Where are you from?"London.""You don't have an accent. Where were you born there?""No."I bite my lower lip. "Okay, where were you born?""Long Beach."I inhaled and let out the air. "Have you lived in a foster home with a family called the Brayden?"I waite
Tears were falling from my eyes before Athena said the words. "But dad said his parents died. How? How can this be?""You know dad didn't like to talk about his family," Ares said with a snort. "He makes things up to lie.""Effie," sat back down, taking my hand while Odin had the other. "I know it's a shock to you, but think about it. The time you spend with him, don't you feel a connection when you spend time with me? Most people say he's the spitting image of me."I thought about it the first time I met Odin at the bus stop trying to go home. "At first, I thought he was stalking me."A snort was made, and I saw it was coming from Seth, who pursed his lips. Terry stared at him and glared. Don hit his older brother in the head, making Seth snarl at his younger brother."I only followed you because I thought I saw a replica of my Lorraine," Odin added. "Athena looks like your mom, Ares has your dad and mine good looks, but you," he touches my chin gently on his fingers. "You have your
"Oh my god, Effie," Thea was the first to embrace me with her fragile-yet strong arms. She squeezes me. "I'm so glad you're okay."Everyone who burst through those doors shocked me that they all waited for me to wake up. Seeing all of their faces warms my heart."How long was I out?" I asked."Three days," Ares replied.Three days!No wonder I felt so weak, and my hair smells like I haven't bathed in years, which is gross.Thea was squeezing me tighter. I gasped for air. "Thea, I can't breath."Thea did not answer but only felt her body shaking uncontrollably; I know it was not the pregnancy but her fear of losing her baby sister and another family member.I rubbed her back and laid my head on hers as she cried softly."I was so worried about you," she sniffled and pulled back. Her silver eyes were moist with tears. "When Clark told us that his cousin is back and explained how obsessed she was with Logan, I knew right then something bad was happening."I looked over at Clark, who was
Twelve years ago at The Brayden's Home - Foster Home. "Haha," Kenny laughed, pointing a finger at me. "You are a nobody and were left here. Nobody wants you." I hugged my legs, hiding behind the house of The Brayden, owned by George and Maggie Brayden. They were friendly, but the way they greeted me felt like those weirdo parents who kept their children sanitized from everything they touched. George was no muscle but short and tubby-like a gnome with a Super Mario mustache, and Maggie wore heavy make-up looking like 99 cents cheap doll. They were friendly, but I felt uncomfortable talking to them. Since I arrived without Ares and Athena because they were sent to different homes, I was scared. I was alone for the first time. "Look at those ugly scars! Ewww!!" He and the other kids older than me chorus, looking disgusted at my accident scars. I tried to cover them up, but my body was so small I could go up and run away. I went inside, and they followed me into the house and called m
Twelve years ago...Long Beach Memorial Hospital - Patients Room.Feeling as if minutes passed by, I weakly opened my eyes to see nothing but blurred with a bright white dot, and all I could think was Tinkerbell. I fluttered my eyes a few times to clear my eyes, and finally, the light bulb came to view. I looked up at the ceiling and made my eyes burn. I squint. I woke up in an unfamiliar room of only white, no peels or dirt. There is no decoration except a borderline of pink and blue bunnies jumping in a line over light green grass.Two windows at my side with pink drapes covering the sun's brightness. Next to it was a water bag connected to clear tubes that drips water and beeping machines that mommy calls heart monitors that track your heart rate. A needle poking my arm with many stitches wrapped around it like long princess gloves, and seeing them made my stomach ache. I breathe only to find a tube in my nose that shoots air from another machine.The pain from my head hurts so b
