Chapter 15 Alpha without a Luna
MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS
Kyrian had a wide amused and surprised grin on his face as he stared closely at his friend and Alpha. “Feel free to take offense at this Alpha. I have known you to be a bit loose headed but I didn’t realize it was this bad.” He stated.
Logan stared at him dead in the face with his eyes giving off no emotion. “You might care when I get your ass thrown into the dungeon.”
“Wow! You would really do that to me?” Still not believing his ears, Kyrian watched as Logan immersed himself in the files in front of him frowning at whatever page of the file didn’t sit well with him. Never had he heard in the history of his friendship with Logan that keeping a woman he had only met at a random party not just for a night but planning a whole two nights to be with her. His eyes doubted the person sitting in front of him.
“Quit burning holes into my skin with those terrible eyes of yours.” Logan said without looking up at him.
Kyrian let out a snort as he watched him in amazement. “Please tell me all that you just said now is just a figment of your imagination.”
Logan rolled his eyes as he felt the urge to flip the files at Kyrian’s silly face. This was one of the reasons he kept most things to himself. Having Kyrian meddling in all of his businesses, with the dumb look he had on was still a strong reason to never tell him a thing ever again.
His Beta had been at the house as early as he can to make his life miserable as always. The moment he had sighted Jovy, Kyrian had taken it upon himself to keep rambling about it.
“Is it what I am thinking?” Kyrian stated his thought loud.
“You really are getting ahead of yourself. It’s only for sex and nothing else.” He said.
Kyrian shrugged as he sat with a mischievous look in his eyes. “I never said it wasn’t just sex. I know how you get with the female gender. But my question is, how fucking good is this young lady to be able to get you melting this way?”
Logan threw him an intense glare. “I do not melt in any way.”
Kyrian shook his head in disapproval. “I have always heard young ladies of today know how to make a man go nuts. I guess your case have just proven that.”
“I can really break your head, Kyrian.” Logan huffed.
“You should consider opening a boxing ring since all you do is blow threats at me all day. You have got nothing better to do?”
“I might if you find yourself some quality and reasonable thing to do.” Logan snapped.
“I hate you for one thing, just a tiny bit of a thing. Do you want to know?”
Logan raised his brow in question.
“Your lack of emotions and inability to fuel someone else’s own.” Kyrian sighed as he sank deeper into the chair he sat on. “To think I was so excited to hear from you what exactly had went down last night. You are such a kill joy!” He pouted.
Logan fought hard to keep the smile threatening to form at his friend and Beta’s dumbness. “I have so much to do. I don’t want to deal with you right now, Kyrian.”
“Me neither, especially with a sour kind like yours!”
“I am still your Alpha remember so watch your tongue.”
Kyrian faked a gasp as he placed a hand on his chest. “Oh! I am so scared right now!” He said rolling his eyes.
Logan slammed the files on the table. “I have had just about enough of you. Get the hell out.”
Kyrian shook his head in disagreement. “No…no…not so fast. We have some Fortress issues to discuss. Thank you.”
Logan rubbed at his forehead. “To think you had to push so hard on my reaction button before talking about the business of the day…you are an asshole, Kyrian.”
“It’s not like you make life any easier for me. What did I ever do to deserve this is sort of Alpha? My Goddess! Have mercy upon me!” Kyrian did a dramatic wail.
Sometimes, Logan wished he could dispose Kyrian into the deep sea and never set eyes on him again but he would be left with the problem of explaining to the pack members what had happened to their beloved and loving Beta.
“Have you thought it through yet?” Kyrian asked looking all serious now.
“What are you talking about?” Logan questioned with a confused look on his face.
“You need a Luna, Alpha. You know how these things work around here so don’t act oblivious to it.” Kyrian responded.
Logan let out a hiss spitefully. “You already know my stand on that.”
Kyrian rolled his eyes in effect cause he definitely knew what Logan was talking about. Growing up to watch how his mother was treated all for the sake of love, he had become recluse to situations like keeping relationships or finding love. Not like he judged the man, he had every right to feel the way he did. Logan Odell had experienced a tough childhood and that had shaped him to become the cold hearted being he was at the moment.
But at the same time Logan Odell has duties perform, being the Alpha of the Fortress and that includes having a Luna and bearing pups to continue his legacy. As his Beta, it was Kyrian duty to ensure the Alpha does the right thing as expected of him.
“I really hate to do this, Kyrian. I don’t want it.” Logan stated.
“No one is asking you to love it. But it is a necessity man.”
“Maybe I just need a lady to act as a front and bear some pups.” Logan spoke up after some minutes of silence.
“Now, you sound more like an Alpha who is interested in the betterment of his pack…no Fortress.” He corrected himself immediately knowing Logan might come at him and he did.
“Shut the hell up!” Logan roared.
“Whatever! I am just trying to do my duties as the Beta.” Kyrian retorted.
Logan sat still as he got lost in thought for a moment. He had no intention of ever getting married and the thought of owning a family has never occurred to him. He was fine just being by himself and fucking whomever he wants to spend time with in a night.
But Kyrian did have a point, it would be unheard of that an Alpha has no Luna and also not interested in keeping up with the legacy of the Fortress. All he needed at the moment is a she wolf who can put up a front as his loving Luna and carry out the duties as necessary as possible without getting in his space.
Logan concluded that he just needed someone he can subdue and not get worried about her running her mouth.
“What’s on your mind?” Kyrian questioned.
“Thinking of ways to get some lady to play Luna.” Logan responded with sarcasm dripping in his tone.
Kyrian snorted. “Just because I am kind hearted I would ignore your attitude.”
“How do we go about it? It might work out just fine.”
Kyrian sat upright with a wide smile on his lips. “How about you let me handle that for you?”
Logan shook his head in agreement. If not anything he trusted Kyrian to ensure to do whatever it takes in favor of the Fortress.
“Just take it as me repaying you for watching Arlo.” Kyrian grinned.
“And how about you get the fuck out of my office now!” Logan growled with no remorse on his face.
Kyrian looked pained. “Wow! I can’t believe you are having me tossed out of here when I am willing to help you.”
Logan stood up and grab his suit. “I need to handle something urgent.”
Kyrian furrowed his eyebrows. “Something urgent like having your dick being choked on.”
Logan let out a faint smile. “I will pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“You really are something you know!” Kyrian laughed. “Here I am burning my ass off for you to not get tossed out of your position as the Alpha but all you can think of is a damn pussy?”
Logan looked unbothered by his words. “You think that would move me?”
Kyrian heaved a sigh as he placed a hand on his head. “How on earth did I end up with you again?”
“You should ask your dead father that question not me.”
“You…You…” Kyrian stuttered as he tried not to mouth profanities at his Alpha.
Logan looked on still feeling unbothered as he headed to the door. “I thought so too.” He said.
“I hate you, Logan!” Kyrian groaned.
Logan let out a dry chuckle as he left Kyrian to kick in the air in annoyance.
