LOGIN"It means there is a record of it," Logan said. "So that if Drake tries anything again, it is not the first complaint, and perhaps Drake can be punished."Monty considered that. He didn't say yes or no. He just looked like he was thinking about it properly for the first time. The door opened and one of the attendants came in carrying a small tray with food and a cup of something warm. The attendant set it down on the side table near Monty's bed and left without saying anything.Monty looked at the tray. He didn't move toward it."Eat," Logan said."I'm not hungry.""Eat anyway."Monty looked at him with a slight expression that was somewhere between annoyed and amused. He reached for the cup and held it in both hands. He took a small sip and winced again when he swallowed."My jaw hurts," he muttered."I know," Logan said. "Eat the soft things and leave the rest."Monty picked at the food slowly. Logan stayed where he was. He wasn't in any rush to go back to the omega quarters. The mo
Logan woke up in the morning before anyone else in the room. He lay there for a moment staring at the ceiling. The other omegas were still sleeping. He could hear some of them breathing loudly. One of them was snoring from the far end of the room. He reached under his pillow and checked that the picture and the map were still there. They were there. He pushed them further under and sat up.His first thought was Monty. He got up quietly and put his shoes on. He didn't bother changing. He smoothed down his shirt and walked to the door, opening it carefully so it didn't make noise. The hallway outside was empty. The palace was still quiet at this hour and most people hadn't started moving yet.He walked in the direction of the room they had taken Monty to the night before. He remembered the way. He had followed closely when the attendants carried Monty out and he had paid attention to every turn they made. That was a habit from his days as an alpha. Always know where things are. Always k
The first few lines were off and he could see it clearly but he kept going. After a moment, Silas stepped closer and looked at what he was doing."Your grip," Silas said.Logan looked up. Silas reached over and took Logan's hand. He adjusted the way Logan was holding the pencil, pressing his fingers into a different position. His grip was firm but not rough. He guided Logan's hand and made a smooth line across the paper to show him the difference in how the pencil moved with the adjusted grip."Like that," Silas said.He didn't let go immediately. He kept his hand over Logan's for another second and guided him through another line. Logan focused on the paper. He focused on the line. He told himself he was focusing on the technique and nothing else.But there was something about being guided like that which felt different from anything he had experienced in a long time. It felt steady. It felt like someone was paying attention to him in a way that wasn't about what they wanted from him
Logan was back in Moon Valleys.He knew it immediately. The smell of the pack, the familiar layout of the buildings, everything was exactly how he remembered it. He was standing in the middle of the pack house and the sky above him was dark.He looked around. Nobody was there.Then he heard footsteps. He turned and saw Caine first. Caine was walking towards him with his usual expression. Griffin was right behind him. Logan tried to step back but his legs didn't move. He looked down at his feet and they were stuck to the ground."Trady," Caine said.Logan opened his mouth to say that he wasn't Trady. But when the sound came out, it was Trady's voice. He raised his hand to look at it and it was Trady's hand. He was in Trady's body again, completely, and there was nowhere to go."You didn't think we would find you," Griffin said.Logan said nothing. There was nothing to say. They were already close enough.Caine grabbed him first. He threw him against the wall and Logan felt the impact a
Logan stood still by the window for a few seconds after leaving Silas’ room.He looked at his reflection again.“I couldn’t possibly enjoy such nonsense,” he repeated, while rubbing his head like he could wipe away the effect of being in Silas' room.He rubbed his lips as well, trying hard to wipe away whatever the kiss had transferred to him. In spite of his belief that same sex intimacy was bad, he was scared for himself that he wouldn't get irritated by what happened.“What is happening to me?” He muttered once more.He repeated it once more, slower.“I cannot enjoy that.”A scoff escaped his lips as he remembered what Silas told him, that he would be the one to beg him to fuck his hole. The thought of it alone made his skin irritate him. He shut his eyes and took a deep breath. If Silas wasn't going to force intimacy on him, then that was good. He had enough time to be free from the lunacy of Silas' world and investigate the maps.He turned away from the window and started walking
He couldn't exactly tell the age of the map, how long it had been around or how many times it had been used. But the one he held at the moment looked fairly used. It had a few scuffs at the right edges, but the left side looked bright and new. Silas had left the room, leaving Logan alone in the spacious bedroom.Wind blew in from the window, making the room chilly in the evening and the hairs on his body stood as he got goosebumps from the cold. He spread out the map again and stared at it.He didn't know how accurate the map was, but the regions on the map were almost unrecognizable. He saw some thick wavy lines drawn on the map which showed that there was a wide body of water, a sea perhaps, surrounding the regions on the map. Although, the only body of water he knew around the Lycan and werewolf territories was a small stream of water at the border of Hericon. Moon Valleys was not known for having bodies of water. Like the name Valleys implied, it was more of a valley land.Logan i
