Lana’s POVMy mouth falls open as I stare at him, unsure of what he just said. He repeats the words, telling me that I lost consciousness, that my heart just suddenly stopped. How I scared everyone, that everyone was afraid of losing their Alpha.“That doesn’t make any sense.” The words come out all croaky and I realise how dry my throat is. Without hesitating, Logan hands me a glass of water. “Lana. What the hell happened out there? Did you eat something? Did you take something? Did Hallen give you something?” He was firing these questions at me, like I knew what had happened. I didn’t.All I remember is shifting and running, how each step started to hurt and how I felt cold. Even now, I was freezing.“Did Hallen do something to you Lana?”“No, well I don’t think so.” I wrap my arms around myself as the cold seeped in.“Freya has worked hard. She has been trying to figure out what happened to you.”“How? How am I alive?”He clenches his jaw, turning his gaze from me. Whatever it was
Logan’s POVHer brown eyes fill with tears as she stares at me. It was the truth. I couldn’t get her out of my head.When her heart stopped, pain ripped through me, worse than I had ever felt before.I may have jumped at the deal with Abby a little too quickly but I was not ready to lose Lana. Now she was marked by a vampire. A vampire that wanted to recreate a Blood Pack.Lana sits quietly. Little sighs escaping her. She hadn’t said anything, not since I told her that she was all I thought about.The clock ticking was driving me nuts. Every second seemed to last forever as I waited for her to say something.Her lips part, like she was going to say something. But she soon closes them again. Her eyes continue to remain on me, neither of us moving, neither of us speaking.“Why?” she finally chokes out.“You are asking me why I care?”“Uh huh” her head slowly moves up and down, her eyes wide like she is in some sort of trance.“It would seem like the bond is making my feelings for you gr
Logan’s POV“What was all the noise about?” Her words are quiet. She blinks a few times and I see how her eyes are shaking. Just a little, but enough for me to notice as she turns her head in my direction.“Lana, are you okay?” It was a stupid question. It was obvious that she wasn’t.“I’m fine….” she wobbles slightly. Her hand reaching out to the door frame to steady herself.“Lana. I know you’re not.”As the blanket falls from her shoulders, she reveals her blood soaked pyjama shirt. There were slits in the material, just over her stomach. Like claws had raked over her.Uncle Liam rises from the chair as I demand to know what happened.“I did it.” She mutters as I run my fingers over the wounds. They were healing, just very slowly.“Why would you do this to yourself?”“I thought… I thought you had gone.”The whites of her eyes were dimming as she struggled to stand upright.“What do you mean? I’m right here.”“It hurts.” She mouths as she stumbles forward, crashing into me. Her eyes
Lana’s POVFreya was sat on the end of the bed humming. I could tell it was her by her scent but for the life of me, I had no idea what song she was trying to hum, but it was the most annoying thing ever.“Hey, how are you feeling?” She smiles as I rub my eyes.I had woken up yesterday. Mortified to find myself in the pack hospital. It was only made worse when I found out I had been in for an entire week. Freya pretty much never left unless it was to go use the bathroom, shower or change. Sam would pop in now and again to check on us but Logan was nowhere to be seen. Anytime I asked, they would find a clever way to change the subject.“I guess you are not going to tell me where Logan is today, either?!”“Maybe you need to stop worrying. The doctor said you should be able to leave today. Everything is back to normal. Everything is looking good.”"Tell that to my body." Everything still ached. “So I will see Logan?”“Uh, probably not today.”“Why, where is he?” I knew he had to be on p
Lana’s POV“You’re mad!” I mutter as I follow his finger. Looking out at the empty packlands, I couldn’t work out why he was seeing things differently to me.“Lana. It’s not me, it’s you.”“There is no one here!”He spins the wheelchair around so that I am facing him. “Lana, you are not making any sense.”Over his shoulder, I could see the pack's hospital. The one that I had just been in. It looked like it had been abandoned, much like the rest of the pack. The windows were broken, vines grew up over the building along with ageing cracks in the walls.Caleb follows my gaze, peering at the pack hospital. He looks to me and then back to the building. “What are you frowning at?”“You just brought me out of there?”“Yes. It’s where you have been for the last week.” His head keeps flicking back and forth between me and the hospital as he frowns.I didn’t understand. Nothing was making any sense. Why was Caleb seeing things differently to me?“It looks abandoned.”“What have you taken?”“N
Logan’s POVI hated the fact that I was the one making her ill. Just one step inside of her room and she couldn’t even handle that. Her face screwed up from the pain and she even lied. Trying to tell us that she was okay.“Is that what Hallen said?” Freya questions me, her hand remaining tightly gripped on Lana as I retreated.“Not in as many words, but yes. He isn’t going to stop until he has Lana.”“I will never agree to it. I will never go with him.”“I don’t think he will give you a choice, Lana. I know Hallen, I have lived with him for years. He doesn’t just let things go.” Freya tells her. “I think you need to tell Logan the other thing.”I almost stepped back into the room, hoping that I would catch a whiff of her spicy scent. There was still nothing. Sam’s hand presses against my chest stopping me from entering. We were mates that couldn't even be together.“Tell me what, what’s happened?” I demand, trying to keep my concern out of my voice.“Nothing, yet.” I mutter, glaring a
Logan’s POV“All of us were.” Anger was the least of my problems. My mom, my father. Our entire Pack. Liam and her sons, we had been nothing to her. We had all been used for the last two decades.“This needs to stay between us. Kendra betrayed a lot of people. Who knows what else she has lied about.”“Do you want me to speak to Dad?” Sam offers.“No, I think it will be better coming from me. Though it might be helpful if you are there.”“Sure. I still can’t believe she had a secret life.” Sam mutters as Freya is busy looking through the potions.“She may have played you all, but she was definitely ready for every scenario.” As she spins around, I see her holding vials in her hands. “Maybe it’s best if these go.”“What are they?” They looked like little pots of water.“Wolfsbane. She had enough to take you down, Logan.”“Wolfsbane doesn’t affect me in the same way as it does the others.”“Maybe not, but this much will probably do you some damage. It’s pure liquid wolfsbane. This woman
Lana’s POV“Well it clearly worked. You are holding her hand!” Freya sounded happy, but she was right. Someone’s hand was holding mine.“She still hasn’t woken though, has she?! How can you be sure it's worked?”“You are very impatient, Alpha Logan. Look at it this way. Her heart is not in vibration mode, it is steady. she isn't coiling up in pain. She will wake up when she is ready.”Wait, Logan was holding my hand. When he had moved towards me, he had made me feel sick. Pain had buzzed through my head until I passed out. How was he now holding my hand? Freya must have found a way to help.“Logan?” I mumble. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe they weren’t here at all.“Hey. How are you feeling?”“Confused!” I peek at him with one eye. It was definitely him, he was sitting on a chair next to my bed. His hand gripped around mine, a small smile played on his lips. He looked relieved.It takes me a moment and I realise that I could smell his minty hot chocolate scent.“See, told you it would wo
