"Riley wait up" i hear Ashley call from behind me. I slowly turn around to face her. "Can we talke" I nod in response and we continue to walk out towards the courtyard.
"What is it Ashley" i say already knowing what she wanted. We sat under one of the few trees in courtyard. For late September it was oddly warm out.
"I know how you feel about Logan and I know its breaking his heart. All he ever wanted was to find his mate and now that he did, he is starting to change for the better" she says. "Riley I know Logan hasnt always been nice to you. But please know he would never hurt you. The way you are acting towards him is breaking his heart".
"Ashley im just to scared of him. He has done some really awfull things to me and i dont know if i can just forget that.We arent even in the same pack, hell our packs hate eachother" i say just above a whisper.
"Riley Logan needs you! He is going to have to take over our pack at a younger age then most. Our father is unwell he does not have much time left. Logan and betta Blake have been having to make all of the decisions for our pack as of late" she said i could hear she was trying not to cry.
"I will try Ashley, but i am not going to make any promises. It will just take some time. I am sorry your father is unwell, I will keep him in my thoughts" i say reaching to hold her hand. Logan and Ashley just turned 18 a few weeks ago and i know in my heart that Logan is not ready to take over his pack. "Can you go get Logan or mindlink him to meet us here. I think we should talk"
"Of course" i can tell by the look in her eyes that she was mindlinking him. "He is on his way. Thank you for talking with me Riley" she says standing and walking out of the courtyard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sit here wondering if my father knew the current situation with the battlefang alpha. That is something i am going to have to share with him when i get home.
"Riley" i hear Logan say. He startled me, I was lost in my thoughts so much i didnt see him walk up.
"Logan" i say as he sits next to me. "I figured we needed to talk." i take a deep breath. "Logan i dont know if this is going to work between us. How you have treated me in the past is kind of hard to forgett. I know you are under alot of pressure right now. Ashley told me about your father and im deeply sorry. But do you really thing we could ever be mates"
"Riley I know in the past i was a huge jerk to you and that was not fair. I want to get to know you better, i will protect you with my life. I would give you the world and you dont even want to give me a chance. WE are mates and my cureent title is being questioned because my father isnt going to be around to train me. My pack is going to need there luna once my father passes. I will need my Luna" he says trying to hide a sob that was fighting to slip out of his lips.
"I will try Logan but i cant promise you anything you hurt me" I say the mate bond is pulling me towards him. I am trying to stop the urge to pull him into a hug. But he beats me to it, he pulls me into his lap rocking me back and fourth. I can feel myself instantly relax. It felt like i was where i belonged. Wrapped in my mates arms.
Riley's POVThe rest of the school day was quiet. Thankfully i dont have many classes with either Logan or Ashleigh. I am headed to my last class of the day which is History. Upon entering the room i see Logan and Ashleigh already seated and there is only one empty. Of course it has to be between Logan and Ashleigh.I take my seat and take my notebook out of my bag trying to avoid eye contact with either of them. "Hey" Logan says drawing my attention to him."Hey" I say just wanting this conversation to be over as fast as it started."Hows your first day back going" is he for real trying to actually have a conversation with me. I have no interest in talking to him. I wish he would just leave me alone."Its fine" is all i say. I stare at the teacher pleading him to start class. That was the end of our discussion as class begins. The finale bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and headed from the front doors. I made sure to have everything i needed so i didnt have to make an extra stop a
Rileys POV It has beem 2 years since i went to regular school. Being home schooled was a blessing but also a curse. Starting today i agreed to return to the regions highschool untill graduation. It has also been 2 years since I have seen Logan Hall and since the milk incident. I agreed to return because i miss my friends and i wanted to graduate with them.I grab my backpack and head downstairs to have breakfast with my dad and Ryker. They are sitting at the table waiting for me."Good morning honey are you ready for school" it was my father who spoke first. We start passing the plates of food around. We where having eggs and bacon, this is my brothers favorite breakfast food. It is rare that my brother who is here for breakfast. Ever since he found his mate he is rarely here."I believe so, i am just going to keep my distance from the Hall family period" i say taking the orange juice from Ryker."That sounds like a great idea. I had Jasmine make you a bag lunch so you can avoid the
Logan's POVThe next day at school i stil held out hope that Riley would show up and I could avoid going on her packs land. Mate or not i dont belong there and even with the Alpahs permission it doesnt feel right. I started to gain my wolfs sense when i was 12. My pack is nitorius for having there wolfs especially the alphas gain there sense's at an early age. my father got his at the age of 10. He knew who his mate was at the age of 15. Ashleigh hasnt spoken directly to me since the milk incident. I dont blame her at all, I was wrong for what I did. I really dont think I have completely forgiven myslef. I can even tell my wolf is mad at me.When the final bell rang I headed out with my friends to the front of the school. To my suprise Riley was sitting under the tree infront of the school.Ashleigh is behind me and I heard her gasp we both didnt expect her to meet me here, "Logan" Ashleigh says. I ignore her and head stright to Riley.She stands and meets me half way. "What do you
Logan’s pov My anger got the best of me and it got me suspended for 10 days. I hate her, why her presence bothers me this much. School says I have to apologize when I got back to school. Ashley say Riley Ward hasn’t been at school since that day. “Son” my father calls me as I pass his office. “Yes alpha” I know I am in trouble. I was raised better then this my mother would castrate me if she knew what I did. “You go back to school tomorrow and I expect you to apologize to the girl. And from now on if there is another incident with the 2 of you. You’re going to be an omega. Do you understand? I am done with this crap” he says. He has been furious with me. My training the last 10 days has been hard real hard. “Yes sir” I say and bow my head. Tommorow is the day I make things right with Riley! —————————————— I arrive at school the next morning and stand out front with Ashley. We wait until the first bell rings but Riley never shows up. Damn I knew it I knew there was a reason I
Riley’s POV4 years agoI have never disliked someone as much as I dislike Logan hall and his pack. Today he pushed me into my locker and I cut my arm. My brother isn’t in middle school anymore so he can’t protect me.I keep my head down while me and my best friend Aurora head to class. I trip and land on my knees, there’s laughing.“Stupid dirty omega watch where you’re going next time”. There he is again, why can’t he just leave me alone.I get to my feet and look him straight in the eyes. “Leave me alone Logan Hall you are disgrace to your pack and I hate you” I scream in his face.“Logan let’s go” says his sister Ashley she is trying to pull him away from me. “If anyone is a disgrace to there pack it’s you. You’re nothing but an Omega. I am the future alpha of my pack” He is dragged away from me and I just go to my next class how can he treat me like that it’s not fair. ——————————-It’s now lunch time and I am in line for food. Of course directly behind me is Logan and his sist
It was Ryker who offered the ride. I turn and look at Katie who nods in agreement.“ Ok if it’s ok with her then it’s fine with me” Logan says giving my hand a tight squeeze. He turns kisses me on the cheek and whispers in my ear “if u need me call me”With that he is out the door. I turn to my family who seem to be watching me closely“So how have things been” I say looking over to my dad.“They have been good. We do miss you around the pack house though” he says looking at Kayson in his arms.“I didn’t expect to be a Luna. Especially for Logan Hall he is the person I ever expected to be my mate” I say looking Kayson. “Alpha Logan is your mate we all understand that. But Riley u need to give him a fair chance. You keep pushing him away and he keeps fighting for you 2 just love him” my dad says glancing at Ryker who tenses at his words.“I am trying he just wants me to forget everything that happened between us when we were young” I say handing Kayson to Katie. “ I think I am ready to
