Logan and Lucy had got onto the bed. With Lucy’s help, he stripped off his shirt and climbed on top of her. He was about to unbutton his pants when they suddenly heard a loud smashing sound.
That moment, Logan felt like he had been released from a spell, he regained his wits immediately and jumped up from Lucy.
He stood, staring at her in surprise, trying to understand what was going on.
“Logan, are you alright?” Lucy asked, putting on an Innocent face.
“Um… What… what happened and what is that noise?” He asked with wide eyes.
He felt confused as he could not explain what made him act the way he did.
“It’s probably a cat or something, come on Logan, let’s continue with what we are doing.” She smiled.
She sat up and took Logan’s hand, trying to draw him back to the bed but Alpha Logan pulled his hand off from hers with force and her face went sour.
Logan turned away from her and his eyes darted to the window, where the sound had come from. He tried to figure out what was wrong but he could not make it out, he was having this strange feeling in him that he tried to familiarize with.
He knew that feeling but he could not explain it.
“Why are you so worried Logan? I told you it’s a cat,” Lucy said again, trying to convince him.
She had seen Crystal through that window when she ran off in tears, she felt that she had already accomplished the goal of sending her away from his life, now she also wanted to use this opportunity to lure Logan to bed.
If she can get pregnant for him, then she would have killed two birds with one stone. Crystal would be out of his life and she will be the Luna and mother of the next Alpha.
That has always been her goal, she never cared about Logan’s feelings. All that mattered to her was being the Luna of the New Dawn pack and mother of the next Alpha.
Logan sniffed in twice and once again, he caught that pheromone that had given him a sleepless night. He knew what it meant, his mate was near.
“Mate!” He muttered subconsciously and his eyes darted around the room.
Lucy was disappointed but as a smart young lady, she decided to use it to her advantage.
“Again? Which means I am your mate, I mean I am the only person in this room and I was also the only person in the backyard the other day you felt her presence, so it could be me?” She said, trying to act excited.
Logan replied with a growl. “It’s not you,” he said in a stern voice and her smile disappeared.
“Then who is it? Think about it Logan, there is no other female around, the maids are all on leave, so who else could it be?” She asked.
“I said it’s not you!!” Logan barked in an angry voice and she moved backwards in fear.
He snarled and turned to the door. “I will be back, I need to find her.” He said and walked off.
Lucy felt disappointed, her plan had failed again. She just prayed that Logan does not find Crystal or that would be a double failure for her.
She had seen how Crystal ran off in tears and she had no doubt that the poor girl’s next move would be to leave the City.
Now, she just had to think of a way to convince Logan to get in bed with her, so that even if Crystal returns in the future, she would have already bore an heir for the Alpha.
Lucy stood up from the bed and got properly dressed, she wanted to go and see what Logan was up to, she got to the door and opened it but the moment she stepped out, she collided into Simon and bumped heads.
“Ouch!” Lucy yelled.
“Oops, sorry.” Simon apologized, then his face brightened all of a sudden.
“You know what they say, when two people bump heads together, it means they are meant to be together.” He smiled.
Lucy hissed. “No one says that and stop dreaming, we can never be together!” She retorted.
“Ouch, that hurts more than the head bump.” He said and held his chest, being all dramatic.
“Quit your drama and get out of my way, I need to see something,” she half-yelled. “And why are you even here?”
“Well, you know I follow you wherever you go, just like you are following Logan around like a fly.” He mocked.
“Arrrghhh!! I will deal with you later,” she groaned and pushed him aside, then headed out of Logan’s Chambers.
“There will be no need for that, I am right behind you sweetheart,” he laughed and followed behind her as they walked out of the hallway.
“What do you want from me?” She yelled and groaned.
“You already know what I want, but let’s not talk about that for now. We could always discuss that in the future, I saw what you did out there. Was that your big plan to make her leave Logan?” He laughed in mockery.
“Laugh all you want, at least it worked, she’s gone for good and you will be next,” Lucy threatened.
“Just because you saw her run off doesn’t mean that she is gone, I mean it’s not the first time she left in tears but she always came back and she will come back again.”
Lucy stopped immediately, she grabbed him by his collar and pinned him to the wall.
“Say that one more time and I would make sure you never speak again,” she threatened with gritted teeth.
Simon chuckled. “I love it when you hold me like this, now please go ahead and kiss me sweetheart.”
“Arrrghhh!! You are crazy!!” She yelled and pushed him away in anger.
“Come on, that ended too quickly.” He laughed and ran after her.
They walked out of the chambers and Lucy looked around. Logan was nowhere in sight, so she decided to go to the balcony upstairs and find out what Logan was up to.
Simon followed as well, he kept stalking her like a fly who had seen a rotten fruit.
* * * * * *
Logan has come out of his chambers in search of his mate, he knew for a fact that she was nearby. He could smell her pheromone not far away.
Logan was upset that he had tried to get intimate with Lucy, even though it was a mistake caused by his body going into heat, he still blamed himself.
He now clearly understood what had happened. His mate’s pheromone had made him go into heat and Lucy tried to take advantage of that.
He could not believe how desperate she was. Now he even hated her the more for what she had done.
Logan searched around the whole building but he could not find her, he went to the bush in the backyard but there was no trace of her or any other life either, so he headed to the front gate.
As he approached it, he could smell her pheromone get stronger, his nose flared with her scent.
He increased his pace and got to the gate, then he opened it and stepped out.
That moment, his eyes caught something and he froze. He could not believe it, he rubbed his eyes twice with the back of his palm to make sure he was seeing clearly.
Was this really true?
So he was not really imagining things?
