{~~Avery Sterling~~}We were working from home this afternoon, given that Logan and I had both signed up for the night shift so the team could monitor and conduct our first test on the LDS patient. I hadn’t realized that until we went upstairs to take a bath and to get everything I needed to go to work. Checked in with a fellow nurse and she informed me that we were signed in for the night shift.I changed my clothes during the time logan went out to make his call, because clothes aren’t clothes. What I wear to work, I cannot wear to just lounge around and do nothing.Now back to work, and the grumpy bastard of a patient.His name is Martin Miller- yes yes, I finally learned his name. I am such a great nurse. Learning my patient’s name two, three days after he was brought in. Currently Logan was busy working on the first method we would use in testing him, while I finalized some paperwork and made sure all our protocols were in place. Our equipment was arriving tomorrow night, and we

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I got up from my seat, stretching my bones that had been in one position for far too long. The tension in my back and neck released with a satisfying series of pops, and I let out a small sigh of relief. It was time for a break, and more importantly, it was time to make some lunch for Logan and me. The thought of preparing a meal together brought a smile to my face. There was something incredibly intimate and grounding about cooking with someone you care about. I’m like a queen of romance. I mean I do want him to fall in love with me. Hopelessly.As I headed to the kitchen, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the soft click of Logan closing his laptop. He rose from his seat and joined me, a playful glint in his eyes. It made me blush, feeling like my heart rate was about to spike up."Need any help?" he asked, leaning against the doorframe with a casual, yet inviting, demeanor. His bare muscular arms wrapped above his firm pecs."Absolutely," I replied with a grin,

{~~Avery Sterling~~}Logan and I shared a steamy shower... sue me, i don’t care. And changed into our scrubs.We headed to the hospital for the first testing, our hearts full of anticipation and determination. The lab looked quite empty right now, but tomorrow it would be amazing. We weren't spending a dime of the donated money on ourselves; everything was going into this crucial project.As we entered the lab, I felt a surge of pride and excitement. The equipment had been set up meticulously, ready for the groundbreaking work we were about to undertake. This isn’t the new equipments though. These are just some of the equpments we could get our hands on to start the testing. Logan immediately began explaining his plans to the others, his voice steady and authoritative. He outlined the procedures, the safety protocols, and the goals for tonight’s testing. The team listened intently, their faces a mix of hope and resolve.I excused myself from the group, feeling a tug of responsibility

{~~Logan Grey~~}The first testing was about to begin, and I felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. The lab, now a hive of activity, was a testament to the countless hours of preparation and planning that had brought us to this moment. Every piece of equipment, every test tube and microscope, was ready to be put to use in our quest to find a cure for Lycanthropic Decay Syndrome (LDS).Martin Miller, our patient, lay on the bed in the observation room, his body weak and his eyes half-closed. He was barely awake, but we were committed to keeping him as comfortable as possible, ensuring he was fed and hydrated throughout the process. The one-way glass allowed us to monitor him without causing any additional stress, giving us a clear view of his condition. After the rage, the violence, the victims of the LDS are left with pain, hollow feeling and wishes of death.I took a deep breath and glanced at Avery, who was by my side, her face set with determination. Together, we had put everyt

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I slept for a while on Logan's chest, the most comfortable place in the world. His steady heartbeat was my lullaby, and the warmth of his embrace was my cocoon. I was in a deep, dreamless sleep, cocooned in his arms, completely oblivious to the world outside. Hours seemed to pass by in mere minutes, and I only woke up when the rain began to slow down and he gently nudged me awake.It felt like we had been there for ages, wrapped up in each other’s warmth while the storm raged outside. A simple check to my phone... my phone! Where was my phone? Panic surged through me as I frantically patted my pockets and rummaged through my bag. "Crap, Logan, we have to go back to the hospital. I can't find my phone."He glanced at me with a calm demeanor that I envied. "It's in your bag. I saw you place it in."I mouthed an "O," feeling sheepish. I hadn't expected that. Sighing with relief, I thanked him, grateful for his attention to detail. I just wanted to sleep, to sink back

{~~Logan Grey~~}The warm body sliding up against me made my breath hitch, and if I hadn’t had plans for today I would taken the invite her body was giving. Although I’m not sure she was aware of how her body was grinding into mine. I exhaled softly and opened my eyes so I could see the woman in front of me. I couldn’t connect her to Ava. She looked so different when she was sleeping. Like the world couldn’t bother her. Like everything was okay.I rolled out of bed before i did something stupid like kiss her awake. Stretching my bones, I grabbed my phone so i could call my mother. It’s time we did something else right with Avery but first, I had to speak with them.I went into the hotel bathroom, locking the door behind me. As though some spirit was watching me, my phone started to ring right away. I glanced at the unknown number and weighed my choices before choosing to answer it.I was hit with immediate regret. “Logan.” Ava. God, why is it that the moment I decide to move on she su

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I rushed out of the taxi and headed straight for the cafe doors. I would have been here sooner but logan had turned a quick shower into let’s have a quickie and now he’s headed to the hospital- where I’ll need to be in an hour- and I’m hurrying to meet with a soon-to-be widow. Um, I mean.... a disgruntled woman. Who has been through so much?To my luck, it seemed like she was just arriving so perhaps she’d lied to get me here quicker. I couldn’t blame her. I wouldn’t want to wait to discuss my dying husband’s illness or my missing daughters. I took a spot while she was at the counter, and asked myself to breathe a little better. I might be able to pull off being here earlier thing.She turns, scanning the room. And when she spotted me, I waved a little. She smiles, but her eyes are sort of empty. Even though her husband was an asshole, I believe he wasn’t always like that. This disease, it truly fucks with a person. Turning a once good man or woman, although it is

{~~Logan Grey~~}She’s late. She should be done by now. I turned on the tracker I had on her phone and found that Avery was headed towards the hospital. Not wanting to seem desperate I took the stairs so by the time I got to the last floor her taxi would have arrived. I looked forward to talking to her. We didn’t get much time together.I stepped out of the time. Just in time. But she was frozen in the spot, not hearing a single thing I said. Following where her horrid expression was aimed, I spotted something that stole my happiness. And that thing was pregnant.“Hi, Logan,” Ava said. Her bright smile aimed at me. But all I could notice was her big round belly, and how the alpha in me wanted me to grab Avery and run for the hills. Instead of doing something that pathetic, I emptied my face and looked at her.“Ava, I didn’t think you’d return.”“I told you I was in town. Can we talk in private?” she made a small gesture with her eyes towards Avery.Avery seemed to snap out of her shoc
