* * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
I walked into my bedroom and sighed. What the heck is going on? Why is my life so difficult?
I really do feel bad for Lucy, I know it must be painful for her but I think what I am doing is for the best. She is not the kind of woman who I want to spend the rest of my life with, she has never been and it doesn’t seem like she would ever be.
But take that aside, my soulmate is here now, so it’s necessary I cut things with her to avoid complicating things further, then I can now choose between Crystal and my soulmate.
But why is the goddess putting me through all these tests? I already have a lot on my shoulders and now this
Ughh!! I feel like leaving this country and never coming back, because my life here is so stressful and complicated.
I went back to my initial plan of having a cold shower. I got into the bathroom, peeled my clothes off and got into the jacuzzi.
The cold water drizzling on my body from the shower was quite refreshing. I started to think about Crystal and all the intimate moments we have had in the past.
I chuckled as I remembered when I had made her beg me to have sex with her, the look on her face that day and her voice had been imprinted in my mind.
I don’t think I would ever be able to forget that moment, it was a moment that solidified our relationship and brought about some major impacts on us.
I got out of the jacuzzi and dried my body with a towel, then I put on underwear. I found one of my robes and put it on.
The robe reminds me of the few good moments I have had with Crystal. I remember that day she had come into my bedroom to take the bathrobe so that she could send it to the laundry, but I blocked her path and requested that she give me a kiss before I let her go.
She had resisted that day, she tried to refuse my request but her boldness disappeared the moment she tried to look into my eyes. She just stood there and let me ravish her lips.
I still remember that amazing taste of her lips. I can’t say what it tastes like because it’s spectacular.
I opened the bathroom door and walked into my bedroom. I was not surprised to see Lucy sitting on the bed, I knew she would follow me in.
What I don’t understand is why and what she was doing in the backyard earlier, could she have seen my mate? Did she try to hurt her like she had tried to do with Crystal in the past?
Lucy stood up and walked to me. I could see she was sad and I understood her pain. Anyone in this situation would be hurt but what can I do? This was bound to happen someday, the mistake was made by our parents.
She came to me and placed her right hand on my chest. “Logan, you have to rethink your decision, you cannot do this to me, this is not fair at all.
Think about my feelings too, I understand that your mate has come for you but then what happens to me? I would become an object of mockery in the werewolf society, please Logan rethink about this,” she pleaded with teary eyes.
“I also understand your feelings Lucy, I know how you feel and what you are going through right now, but we both know that once the goddess’s chosen one shows up, then I can only be with her.
It’s better we end this now at the early stage before we both regret it, I really do care about you but we both know that no one can take the place of a soulmate in a werewolf’s life, please forgive me Lucy but we have to end our relationship,” I replied.
She hugged me immediately and started crying. “Please don’t do this to me Logan, I am begging you… Please don’t.”
She was shedding tears on my body and that was making me feel guilty. What else am I supposed to do? I can’t have three or two mates at the same time, not that anyone would question me but still this is the 21st century, it’s not advisable.
Even if it was, the other mates won’t consent to it, especially the soulmate. They’re extremely jealous and would go as far as killing in order to keep their mates to themselves.
Suddenly, she stopped crying and looked up at me. She had that look that says ‘I have an idea’. What could she be up to now?
“Okay then, in order to make things fair, let’s keep it this way. When I find my soulmate just like you have found yours, then I will take the initiative to leave, I would end the relationship and the marriage contract as well. Isn’t that fair enough?” She asked.
Well, I think she’s right but for how long would I have to wait? What if she doesn’t find her mate at all, then what?
“Alright Lucy, I don’t know if it is a good idea, so we don’t have a deal on that, but we can suspend the break off for now. Since my destined soulmate has come, let’s watch and see if yours shows up as well. I mean the goddess is wise after all, she knows how to do her stuff,” I replied.
“So you are not going to send me away?” She asked while wiping her tears.
“Yes, I mean not yet, but at some point we would have to go our separate ways.”
“Okay, that is fair enough. Thank you,” she replied.
That’s the first time I had seen these emotions in her eyes. Fear, anxiety and pain coupled together, it was all visible.
She finally stopped hugging me and took a step back.
“Should I help you get an outfit?” She asked.
“No, I will manage.” I smiled.
“But I insist,” she retorted.
That is strange, she only used to care about getting me undressed, not the other way round. But now she’s acting all caring.
“Alright, but it has to be my favorite color,” I said.
“Okay… um, sure.”
I could see the uncertainty on her face. This would be fun.
She walked to my wardrobe and after searching for minutes, she brought out an orange shirt and came back to me.
“Is this good?” She asked.
“Yes but I said my favorite color,” I replied.
“Oh I forgot,” she said and I smiled.
Forgot indeed! What does she take me for? A fool?
I know that she does not know my favorite color. After all these years with her.
She returned again with a green shirt and I shook my head.
“This is nice too, but I only want to wear my favorite color today,” I said with my smile still in check.
She forced back a smile. I could see she was getting frustrated already. She went back to the wardrobe and came back with a red shirt this time.
“Lucy Lance, do you know my favorite color?” I asked, with a blank expression on my face.
The look on her face said it all. She had no idea what my favorite color was.
“Um… Well you see Logan… The thing is that…”
“What is wrong? Why are you stuttering?” I asked, interrupting her.
I can’t believe we have known each other and dated each other for five years, but yet she doesn’t know my favorite color.
Crystal knows my favorite color and even Blake does too, but my soon-to-be Luna has no idea on what it is.
