Chapter 31 Investors
MIDNIGHT PACK
Logan tapped on the steering of his car wheel as he looked out of the window contemplating on what to do next. He had not slept a wink all through the night and had practically being moving in a whirlpool of draining thoughts as he worked all morning
The dinner with Arlo and Kyrian that had gone haywire all because of a certain girl made him really bothered. He hadn’t really thought through it much, until it was just him in his bed and all he could think of was seeing her again and fucking her into oblivion. The thoughts of her spending time with Arlo only enraged him more.
Logan loves the boy very much, however he wouldn’t take such shit. Not for anything, Arlo shouldn’t be sharing a bed with the same person he had slept with for three nights. The thought of Arlo’s hold on her only made him irritated.
What Logan couldn’t understand was why he keeps acting up towards the mere mention of her name. Why she gets to every nerve of him and he couldn’t help but react to it? Actually, there was nothing wrong in Arlo having her but the mere thought of it didn’t sit well with him. He needed to see her again and make her bend all over and probably he would be able to get a hang of it afterwards.
Logan’s eyes darted towards the entrance of the diner again as he checked his wristwatch. School wasn’t over yet so he would still have to wait longer to have a look. This was unlike him and probably the most crazy idea he has ever indulged in.
The ringing of his phone brought him out of his thought. Logan picked up the call after a roll of his eyes.
‘You had better have a good reason for why your ass isn’t glued to your office’s chair at this moment!’ Kyrian in his usual dramatic self bickered into the receiver.
Logan adjusted his seating position. He responded calmly with his eyes still glued on his target location. ‘No one told me I have a babysitter now.’ He could almost sense the smoke emitting from Kyrian’s ears as he gritted his teeth.
‘Are you trying to sound funny right now?’
‘Am I? That’s new.’
‘Logan!’ Kyrian called out in frustration.
Logan couldn’t help the chortle he let out and it turned out Kyrian wasn’t the only one good at making one’s life uneasy.
Logan heaved a sigh. ‘What is it, Kyrian?’
‘When did you become so forgetful?’ Kyrian asked.
Logan furrowed his eyebrows. ‘I don’t get you.’
‘You are meant to be on a flight to San Francisco to meet with the investors!’
Logan cleared his throat silently and a frown crossed his expression. ‘Of course I did remember.’
‘So, why then are the expected documents not signed?! And you aren’t here to coordinate the board meeting before leaving!’ Kyrian rushed out his words without missing a beat.
‘Can you take in a deep breath?’
Kyrian sounded like he would cry. ‘Only if you would let me.’
‘Oh sorry baby.’ Logan jested.
‘I really hate you!’ Kyrian blurted out.
‘The feeling is mutual.’
‘Where are you, Logan?’
‘Far away from your drama.’
‘Please I need you here.’ Kyrian uttered after some seconds of silence.
‘Is that an admittance?’
‘Stop playing right now! I am dead serious!’
Logan laughed. ‘I just can’t help hearing you say that you can’t do without me.’
Kyrian gasped for effect. ‘Why would I even say that? I just need your bloody Alpha ass here to relieve me from impending blood rise.’
‘I heard blood pressure increase is good for werewolves like you nearing your middle-age.’
‘Is it safe to curse at one’s Alpha?’
‘Only if you would love the dungeons interior. I am sure of you would love it in there.’ Logan replied.
‘I am really not keen on going for a vacation so soon.’
‘Thought so too.’ Logan let out a deep chuckled. He shook his head at how terrific Kyrian is.
‘In all seriousness now, there is a board meeting taking hold in less than twenty five minutes and it’s important you get here. One of the investors from Japan is insisting on you being at the meeting. So there is no way we can have the meeting without you showing up here.’
Logan thought for a long while before checking his wristwatch again. If he left now, he had two hours to spare until her resumption time at the diner. All he needed to do was make the meeting as brief as possible since he already knew what the investor intends to see.
‘Ok. Give me fifteen minutes. I would be around soon.’
Kyrian let out a long breath. ‘Thanks to the Moon Goddess. I actually thought you had gone dumb.’
‘Fuck off!’ Logan muttered into the phone before hanging up the call.
Logan backed out his car from the parking space he had temporarily made into his since the past two hours. He couldn’t believe he had sat his ass down in a car waiting up for a mere girl.
Logan kept the thought of coming back at the back of his mind as he drove off into the road.
********************
MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS
The meeting had taken lesser time than he had expected cause within thirty minutes everyone had dispersed. Logan on realizing he still has some minutes to head back out, he decided to hurry up with some works in his office.
Kyrian had trailed behind him, grumbling some incoherent words. Logan had ignored it like he was deaf.
“You really aren’t going to say anything?” Kyrian stated clearly finally.
Logan looked up from the sheet he had in hand. “What the hell are you talking about now?”
“Where on earth did you go, Logan?”
“What are you now? My mama?”
“Could suffice.” Kyrian replied offhandedly as he occupied the seat facing Logan directly.
Logan let out a chuckle as he tapped on his laptop. “Why are you being so nosy?”
“I am just trying to know what the Alpha is keeping away from his Beta. Knowing quite well only I can save that ass of yours.” Kyrian responded.
“My ass won’t burn so there is no need for your firefighting ass to save it.”
Kyrian laughed. “You really are so full of yourself.”
“How is he?” Logan asked out of the blue. He had been a bit worried about Arlo.
Kyrian knew what he meant almost immediately. Logan loves Arlo too much to ignore him for too long. “He hasn’t said much, seems like he is avoiding me.”
“He hardly bares a grudge.”
“Well this time we can’t be too sure. He is getting older now.”
“Still won’t change the fact that he is our boy.”
“Are you still intending to go after her?” Kyrian asked.
Logan stayed silent as he glared at his computer.
Kyrian sat up looking more interested now. “Don’t tell me she has gotten your heart.”
Logan raised a brow at him. “You didn’t mean to say that right? She isn’t even near my type.”
Kyrian clapped his hands in delight. “But you fucked her and kept her close for three nights.”
“I did that cause it was necessary. My cock needed the relieve.”
“And you still don’t want her with Arlo.”
Logan shook his head in agreement. “Cause I ain’t done with her yet.”
“She isn’t part of your properties, Alpha Logan.” Kyrian rebuked with a serious stare on his face.
Not saying a word, Logan took a deep breath as his eyes caught the time on his watch. He was minutes behind the scheduled time he had planned on arriving at the diner. Logan stood up abruptly and caught a hold of his suit.
“Where are you headed?” Kyrian inquired.
Logan looked back at him with less amusement on his face. “I could say it is none of your business. But you are my Beta so let’s just say I would be back very soon.” Logan winked. He walked out of the door.
“Remind me to poison your tea when you return!” Kyrian called out behind him.
“Do as you wish!” Logan fired back.
Kyrian gritted his teeth and mumbled some incoherent words under his breath.
