Two Days later, it was Monday. Logan had not gone to work, not to his business or school office, he decided to stay at home and rest for the day.
Ever since that night with Crystal, he felt that she was still hurt by his words so he decided to give her some space for the meantime.
He did not go to her house on Saturday or on Sunday and he did not try to call her either.
Although staying away from her made him feel incomplete, he was so used to being around her that two days without seeing or communicating with her took a lot out of his body.
To worsen it, his wolf had been very restless. The animal was tired of submitting to his depression, it wanted to be let out and would not let Logan have peace of mind until he did so.
Finally Logan couldn’t fight it anymore, he couldn’t oppose the beast’s demand so he decided he was going to let it out.
The wolf which he had named Zach was super excited, when he let it know his intention of letting it out after so long.
Logan left his castle, there was a woodland by the sides of the pathway after his castle, the same way that leads to Crystal’s house.
It wasn’t much of a highway but cars took that road anyway. Logan walked into the woods and stripped off his shirt, then he let his Wolf take over.
His wolf was very large in size and height which was very usual for an Alpha, it had amazing gray fur with few brown patches on its face and back, it also had a black spot just to below its belly.
It had dazzling yellow eyes which was very rare.
Zach howled and then took off, stomping its paws against the hard floor.
The last time Logan let this Wolf out was on the previous moon night, sometime last year, back then when he was in Asia.
Logan tried not to go too deep into the woods, he was running not too far from the highway, his Wolf had his clothes hung to its canines as it ran.
After running for a while, he stopped to rest. Just then he caught a familiar scent, it was coming from the highway.
He did not need a seer to tell him who the scent belonged to, he was just surprised that his wolf had recognised her.
Zach let out a loud howl and then shifted back to human form. Quickly he dressed up and started walking towards the highway.

Crystal was on her way back from school grumbling about having to spend more days in the City. Aidan was doing better now but unfortunately she had spent most of the money she got from the refunded rent.
So once again she was trapped in this city. At school today, she had met Michael who assured her that the job position was still open for her in case she changed her mind.
She did not really want to stay but if it came to worse and she was forced to, then she will take the job.
While Crystal was walking down the highway, heading to her step parents house, she felt like someone was watching or following her.
At one point, she turned and looked back but there was no one behind her. On her left was a little forest reserve, more like the woodlands. It was made up of long trees.
Behind her, a few cars sped past from that direction. She noticed a particular car that was coming slowly from behind, then it stopped completely.
She thought that the car must have broken down.
“The poor man, he won’t be able to find a mechanic that will repair his car anywhere close.”
Once again, Crystal faced her front and kept walking, it was none of her business and she wasn’t a car mechanic either so she should rather concentrate on her own problems.
She was thinking of a possible way to raise money before Logan came knocking on her door again. She had tried borrowing from her parents but they did not have much and she still owes them anyway.
She knew the one person who could help her now was Michael but she did not have the courage to beg him, also she doubted he would give her considering what she wanted to use the money for.
He did not want her to leave the city so why would he give her transport fare to do so?

Logan was almost out of the woodlands while tracing her scent then he saw her trekking down the highway.
He stood there for a few seconds watching her as she passed, she looked towards the woods and he hid behind a tree immediately.
He didn’t know if to make himself seen or not, he just hid with his back against the tree.
When he looked towards her again, he found out that she was moving so he followed her slowly from his position in the woods.
He walked gently in the cover of the trees to avoid getting noticed.
“What am I even doing?” He muttered to himself.
“Let me guess, losing your mind!” His Wolf mocked and he sneered at the animal.
“Just shut up Zach, don’t take my ignorance as weakness,” he groaned
“Really? You treat me like I’m a subordinate, we are damn equals man,” Zack grumbled.
“Wrong, I am the boss. You are just an animal that lives in my head,” Logan retorted.
This animal was pissing him off.
“Oh really? How many animals can speak human language?” Zach queried and smirked.
“Shut up! You don’t speak human language, you can only do that while in my head because you’re using my features,” Logan debated.
Now the argument was getting heated by the Alpha and his crazy wolf.
“That’s a lie, if you doubt you can let me out, bet I will still speak human language without you,” Zach replied with a mischievous grin
“Haha, nice try but you already had your day. Am not letting you out for the rest of the year, that’s your punishment for being a pain in the ass!”
The two of them kept arguing and suddenly Logan froze.
“Look Zach, don’t you think that is strange?”
“You mean the fact that you keep staring at her from behind trees?”
“No you dummy!! I mean the car following her, it looks like he’s about to… Oh my goodness!”
Without saying another word, Logan ran into the highway, just in time to stand in between Crystal and the incoming car that was about to hit her.
The car hit Logan and he accidentally pushed Crystal out of the way while his body rolled on the concrete floor, scratching and peeling as he tumbled continuously without control.
The car driver who had collided with the Alpha was quick to ignite his car and speed off.
There was no doubt he had done that intentionally.
Crystal, who had fallen and bruised her knee and elbow in the process, stood up in shock.
She could see Logan groaning in pain not too far away.
