* * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
It felt like someone was watching me from the woods but whenever I looked in that direction, I saw no one.
So I decided to quicken my pace and ignore whoever was there.
The highway was quiet today with few cars passing, the sun was up and blistering but yet my body felt cold as the East wind emerged from the woods.
I was having this strange feeling and goose pimples were awkwardly all over my body.
I don’t understand why I feel this way, it’s really strange.
Suddenly I heard a loud screeching sound behind me, I turned around to see Logan leap into the road just between me and the car that had been trailing behind me.
It looks like the car was about to hit me but he blocked it with his body. His strength was able to knock the car to another direction but he also got pushed away by the impact of the strike.
He rolled off and before I could see it coming, his hand hit me making me fall to the ground while he rolled forward.
The man in the car looked out of the window with a disappointed face, then he sped off.
Was he an assassin? He probably had intentions to hit me and run but who the heck was he?
I stood up and felt a stinging pain on my knee, I noticed it was bruised and later I noticed my elbows too.
They were bleeding but not profusely. I picked up my bag and that’s when I noticed Logan who was bleeding and groaning in pain not too far away from me.
His shirt was torn and blood-stained, I noticed his forehead was also bleeding. He must have hit his forehead on the ground after the car knocked him away.
“Logan,” I muttered and ran towards him, but just before I got to him, I froze on my tracks and my expression changed.
Why should I be worried about him?
Why should I even care?
I said he was my enemy and I really despise him so I wouldn’t mind if he was to die, he deserves worse than that.
He probably did this just to win my trust, it’s not the first time he’s doing something like this, he will put me in trouble then he comes and rescue me so that he can look like a hero.
I mean he has asked his servants to bully me in the past so that he can come and save me, that is right after he made me lose my job and then offered me a new job to look like he was a lifesaver.
Isn’t it the same thing that happened when he saved my life from that lunatic who was about to hit me with his car?
He did not do that because he cared about me, he only wanted to win my trust just to shatter it again.
I am not falling for any more of his lies, not ever again!
He was trying to sit up while holding his stomach, groaning in pain but I didn’t give a damn how he was feeling right now.
I walked past him like he wasn’t even there.
“Crystal?” He called amidst groans.
He sounded surprised, perhaps he did not see this coming. It’s good he knows my true intentions towards him.
Unlike him, I am unable to play this game of pretense and anyway the only reason I had let him kiss me the other night was just so that I could put away Aidans milk bottle.
“Crysta… are… are you… arrrghhh! Are you going to walk out on me just like that?” He queried while fighting to catch his breath.
I could see he was seriously injured. I paused on my tracks and took a deep breath.
“No Crystal, you should just walk away, you should not fall for his deception one more time,” I said silently to myself…
Without looking back, I quickened my pace and ignored him.
He’s a werewolf after all, I’m sure he will be fine. At least now he knows my true intentions towards him, it’s good that he now knows I am not under his deception anymore. I hate him and that is the solemn truth.
* * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
I groaned in pain and watched as Crystal ran off.
The pain I felt by seeing her leave was more than the pain caused by my injury.
I was hurt really bad, my body was bleeding and a few bones had been dislocated.
I can’t believe she would abandon me, she just ignored me and walked away.
I thought everything was fine between us. Was I really that wrong?
What could be going on in her mind?
“Good job Logan, you injured yourself for someone who doesn’t even care about you?” my wolf said in mockery,
He always knows how to add salt to my injuries.
“Shut up Zach, start the healing process immediately.”
“Oh really? So now you admit that you need me?” He laughed.
The goddess better save this Wolf because I’m going to kill him if he doesn’t shut up.
I tried communicating with Blake, his mind link was rolled up but I had to break through with my Alpha abilities.
“Blake!’ I yelled in his head.
“Ahh!” He screamed, probably startled.
“Don’t act like a scared cat, get in the car and come pick me up on the highway, I’ve been injured.” I growled.
“Logan, is that you?” He queried.
“Of course you fool, who else can come into your head without your permission and by the way don’t you recognise my voice?!” I yelled angrily out of frustration.
Everyone is pissing me off today.
“I am sorry Alpha, I’m on my way,” he replied.
I broke the connection and pushed myself to a corner of the road, I don’t understand why Crystal would act the way she did.
I had risked my life to save her but she did not even care a bit.
Does she hate me that much?
“Zach, try to fix my ankle first, it’s hurting a lot,” I said to my Wolf mentally.
“Hold on Logan, I’ll try to heal you quick but it won’t be so fast because I exhausted my energy in the run.” He complained.
“Great, this is why I prefer not to let you out. Just two hours run and you claim to be exhausted, just start from the smaller ones then when we get home, I will take some drugs to help the healing process.”
I was so in pain right now, my heart was hurting badly.
Crystal’s life is in danger, I know that man had tried to hit her on purpose but what could be his problem with her?
Few minutes later, I could see Blake getting closer in my car. I managed to raise my hand with the last strength that I had, then slowly it dropped to the floor.
My eyesight got blurry, everything started fading away and then it was over.
Silence took over, no more noise, no more pain, no more feelings.
My eyelids shut down and darkness took over. I had lost consciousness!!
