** * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
My stepmom got the first aid box and started to clean my injury. I felt a stinging pain as the methylated spirit touched my bruised knee and I groaned softly.
I kept a steady glare at my stepmom’s face, she was avoiding eye contact with me.
So she really tried to kill me in order to get me out of the picture? It’s still a surprise to me.
Now she wants me to hurt my own mate. Even when I did not know I was a werewolf, a few minutes ago when I had no idea that Logan was my soulmate, that we were destined for each other, at that time I still had no intentions of doing her wish.
Even though I despise Logan, I would not dare to cause him such pain, so how about now that I know he is my mate? Now that I know my real identity as a werewolf?
Does she think I will dare to cause my mate harm? Then she better think again, because she is thinking wrong.
I will not do what she wants from me. Perhaps she thought that if she revealed my identity to me, then I will trust her and do what she wants from me.
I am glad I have found out the mystery surrounding my life, the questions I have been asking since I was eight have finally been answered. I can’t believe I had been a werewolf my whole life yet I never knew, why would my parents do this to me? Their reasons are not good enough to make me go through all this.
I think I should tell Logan. I wonder how he would feel when he finds out all of these secrets, he would finally get the answer to his questions.
But is he even going to believe me? I don’t even show a single feature of a werewolf. I can’t mind-link, I can’t shift!
Nah, he is never going to believe me if I try to tell him.
“Does it hurt?” My stepmom asked while cleaning the bruise on my elbow.
Well it wasn’t hurting much this time because I was absent minded. I was lost in thoughts, reminiscing all the related things that have occurred since my childhood.
“No Mum, it doesn’t hurt much,” I replied with my gaze locked on the TV.
I was not really watching what it displayed, my eyes were there but my mind was far away.
There were a lot of things going on in that container called a mind.
“I will go and get you lunch now,” my step mum said and walked away.
She can be nice to me as much as she wants, but I’m still not going to ask Logan to awaken their clan’s sword.
Since my step parents know that my parents sealed off my powers, it means that they also know how to release my Werewolf power.
I should use this opportunity to blackmail them into doing it, so if eventually I decide to tell Logan then I could show him proof and apart from that, I can at least know what it feels like to be a werewolf.
“Crystal, please come over to the dining room. Your food is ready!” My stepmom announced from the dining room.
Yes, once again she was being the loving step mum that I used to know, it’s quite unfortunate that I would not be deceived again. I have already seen her true colors and it’s nothing close to kind or loving, she is a heartless power-hungry Luna.
I walked to the dining room and took a chair. My stepmom had prepared Caesar salad and bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizers.
Let me eat my fill first, then I can tell her my decision.
* * * * *Logan’s POV* * * * *
I opened my eyes slowly, my head was spinning as my eyelids blinked twice trying to get adjusted to the light.
I looked around and noticed I was in my bedroom. How did I get here?
Oh! The accident!
Well, that did not look like an accident to me, that man knew what he was doing, he was going to hit her on purpose.
Just then, the last scene replayed in my head. I had put my life at risk to save Crystal and she left me out there on the streets.
Why did she ignore me like that? I thought everything was ok between us so why would she act that way?
Does she not love me?
No! She loves me, I could see it in her eyes.
The way she screamed my name and ran towards me, it proved that she had feelings for me but then why did she stop halfway? Why did she ignore me?
Maybe she is still upset about the Lucy thing, the words I said to Lucy had really hurt her but I already told her that it was all a lie, so why does she still hate me? She’s driving me insane!
“Am I really that small Logan?”
I heard Blake’s voice. I looked towards the left and saw him seated on the small couch. I had no idea that he was there.
“Hey Blake, what happened?” I queried and groaned as I felt a little pain in my head.
I tried to stand up and Blake came to assist me, he helped me sit upright on the bed with my head relaxed on its wooden frame.
“You are asking me what happened, I should be asking you that,” Blake replied.
If I was not in pain, then I would have smacked him real hard.
“Were you in an accident or did you get beaten by thugs? When I found you, you were laying in a pool of blood. You passed out in the streets Logan, I had to bring you home and call the pack doctor to check on you, so tell me what happened to you ?”
“Crystal,” I muttered.
“Crystal?” he queried. “What about her?”
“She was about to be hit by a car and I jumped into the road to save her, I got hit in her place and that’s how this happened,” I narrated.
“Um… Are you sure it was Crystal you saw? Because when I came there, I saw no Crystal,” he replied
“I know Blake, I was still conscious when she walked away , she abandoned me out there and I need to find out why,” I said and tried to sit up.
“No, no, no!” Blake protested and stopped me from standing.
“The doctor said you need a lot of rest so until you are fully recovered, I am not letting you leave here.”
“What? I am the boss here,” I grumbled
“I don’t care boss, you can only leave after you recover, that’s final!” he persisted.
I was surprised. “Arrrghhh!!” I groaned.
No one is scared of me these days, not even my Wolf, I will deal with them later.
I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, only one person was on my mind- Crystal Lennox!
To be continued!!
