LOGINI was shocked by the number of people up here. Jordan didn’t give me the chance to look around. I was hoping I could find that man again. Then again, that’s not why we were here. Again, that pit in my stomach pulled me down. Burning anxiety scratched at my throat.
“I have you,” Jordan whispered in my hair. That helped me relax as we reached Joel’s private office.
Jordan knocks twice before entering. As I walk in behind Jordan, I notice Joel has stopped what he is doing and is tracking my every movement. Jordan leads me over to the couch in the corner of the room, and I sit down. Takeout containers are all over the table in the middle. Judging by the smell, it was fresh. I must have interrupted their late-night meal.
 
The wolf from my dream was here. It was physically here. It was massive, with glowing blue eyes. He looked pissed. Monica shook next to me. “Holy fuck…. I can't do this!” Monica's voice was laced with fear. She dropped the knife she held at my side. She turned to flee. Before she got the chance. The black wolf pounced on her. Chad was nowhere to be seen. Of course, P.O.S. The wolf growled in her girl's face. Monica began sobbing. I couldn’t let her die. WHY SHE WANTED YOU DEAD. A deep, angry male voice sounded in my head. I stood in disbelief. The wolf was looking at me. Cold fury in his eyes. I knew he wasn’t mad at me but, I froze on the spot. We stared down each other. No one is budging. I think he was waiting for my answer. I AM Holy crap, this was crazy. “Because she wasn’t acting alone. There is something bigger going on.” I tell the wolf. I think I lost it. This couldn’t be real.Explain “Give me a minute. This is cray.” I tell him trying to get my thoughts in order.
Stars exploded across my vision. Pain burned through my face as I fell to the floor. Soon, my attacker was lifting me to my feet. I couldn't breathe. I was trying to wrap my head around what was going on. I was being choked. My head was swimming. I think I heard a voice? “FUCKING DIE ALREADY!” A female voice was fuming with anger. Who was that? I couldn’t think straight with the pain. I have never been hit before, and the lack of oxygen didn't help. Something had to be done by me. I couldn't move. If something didn’t happen soon, I was going to die. Maybe I was okay with that. No more pain. No more losing people. That sounded nice. NO! YOU WILL NOT DIE! A voice sounded. Snapping out of my thoughts. I had people to live for. I would not die. I dropped my hands from my attacker's wrist. I felt the wall for something. I could not see. But I felt something on the table. I mentally smiled. It was the plate that Matt filled up with food. I grabbed it and prayed it would save me. I some
I can’t believe I just left them. How could I leave them? Trusting Joel was necessary, as he said he'd get Jess and the twins. Joel said Luka can handle himself, so I had to trust him. Trying to calm down, I stopped crying and took slow, deep breaths, as taught in grief therapy. I felt more in control of my emotions as I turned around. I pulled the hood over my head and breathed in Lukas's scent. It helps calm me. There was no way someone could have hurt Luka. He ran into a burning building to save my mom for me. He could get through whatever he was after. I told myself, and I might have been a bit delusional in my thoughts, but until otherwise proven, I held onto those thoughts. “Don’t worry, Danni. It will be okay. Luka is a badass.” Matt tried to reassure. I nodded my head in wagreement. Spoken words were still too hard. I noticed that Kayla was staring at me. I guess staring would be the wrong word, more like glaring, and if she could, she’d probably shoot laser beams at me.I di
I watch in slow horror as Luka moved through the night towards the shadow that seemed off. I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it. What was going on. My phone started buzzing in my pocket. I looked at the call ID. I was surprised that he was calling. “Joel?” I answered. “WHERE ARE YOU.” Joel barked out. “Why?” I asked. I continued watching Luka move slowly but swiftly from one spot to another. “WHERE ARE YOU!” He yelled more frantic than angry. “A few houses down from the Robins,In Luka’s truck,” I answered. A slew of curses came from Joel's mouth in a very chaotic manner, especially for him. “For the love of god tell me Luka is with you at least” Joel responded. “Uhh…” How did I answer that? “Danni don’t tell me he left you alone!” Joel seemed pissed. “I am in his truck and I can see him” I tell him hoping that will help. “YOU CAN FUCKING SEE HIM” Joel is fuming. That seemed to make things worse. I dont answer. I have no idea what to say to that. “I am sorry Danni, Luka
I give Luka step-by-step directions. As we approach the street, the feeling of dread deepens. I shiver. “Are you feeling cold?” Luka asks. “A little, by the way, the net street is the one we want,” I tell him. I was a little cold, but the dread I felt was what made me shiver. I didn’t see any cars coming and going from the street. He drove past the street once and didn’t see anyone coming down. Turning around, he went down the street. He parked about 5 houses down. I saw Jess in the living room with the twins. I texted her we were coming down the road and didn’t see anyone, as we passed she must have read my text. I saw her shoulders sag in relief. I hated this feeling and it didn’t help that she clearly felt off. Something was wrong. “You okay beautiful?” Luka asked “No.” I tell him. “Something feels wrong. I don’t like it.” I admit. “I agree. Something feels off.” Luka seemed tense. The feeling grew and grew. All of a sudden, headlights appeared. “Ge
I scream NO!!! As I wake up from my sleep. Startling Luka. Heat flushed my cheeks as soon as I realized I was screaming out loud and no longer in my dream. “What is it, beautiful?” Luka asked, worry furrowing his brow. “Nothing, just one of my recurring dreams I have sometimes.” “You have a recurring dream? Tell me about it?” He asks. I felt unsure about telling him. Was it really the recurring dream? It had the same wolf as always, but this time it was very different. “Well, I do, but this one was different. I am usually running through the woods. Like I am being chased by wolves.” “By wolves?” He asks. “Yeah, I think there are multiple, but I only ever see one. It's this beautiful white wolf with green eyes like mine.” “Oh really?” Luka seemed so captivated as he waited for me to continue. “Yeah, I usually wake up when it jumps at me, but it wasn’t the case this time,” I tell him, and he just lifts a brow for me to continue. “This time, me and t
