I woke up with a scream and I had to force air into my lungs so I could steady my breathing and stop the tears that were falling freely down my face.My first coherent thought was to run to Logan and I had already made my way to the door when I remembered yesterday’s events and I had to push that urge down and force myself to walk over to the bathroom.I splashed water all over my face hoping it would wipe away the remnants of the dream but nothing was stopping the images from flashing through my mind and with it came the fear.It started out as a memory of what happened at the pack house when I saw Hunter and I tried to tell myself that it was an imagination but it was like the more I told myself that, the closer and clearer he became.Then all of a sudden he started to chase me and I ran but the walls seemed to get longer and narrower and I just couldn’t seem to find an exit. It was like running in a maze.I thought I had lost him but then I felt him grab my shirt and I felt his bre

“Logan,” Diana said in an almost too cheerful tone.He narrowed his eyes at her and she had a deer caught in headlights look.“What is going on here?” he asked and when he saw the opened box he turned to me, “Who sent that?” “You apparently,” I said in a whisper and he turned to me in confusion.“What are you talking about?” “I think we should take this to the other room,” Diana said with a quick look at the children who were crawling around and squealing. “I’ll get the twins to watch the kids.”She rushed out and Logan and I sat in silence until she returned with the twins trailing behind her. She picked up the box and the violin and we made our way into the other room that we usually use to store the bags for all the babies.“Now can someone tell me what the hell is going on?” Logan asked. “The package came about half an hour before you arrived and the delivery guy said you asked for it to be given to Charlie,” Diana said, “I opened it of course to make sure i

“You haven’t eaten anything,” Logan noted from across the counter and I just shrugged.I had another nightmare again and honestly food is the last thing on my mind right now. I really want to tell Logan about them but I know he’s going to just blame it on stress but there is something real about those dreams.“Earth to Charlotte,” Logan said snapping his fingers in front of my face and I blinked up at him, “You should eat something.” “It’s alright,” I shrugged ignoring the frown growing on his face, “I’m not hungry.”“That’s bullshit,” he said, “You didn’t eat anything at all yesterday. What is going on?” “Nothing; I’m fine,” I lied, “Can we drop this? I thought we had somewhere to be.”“We’re not leaving here until you eat something,” he said and I narrowed my eyes at him, “You can look at me like that all you want but my decision stands.” “I can’t,” I said softly and he shrugged.“Then we’re not going,” was his simple reply, “I could really use a day off

Logan was going to drop me off at home before going goddess knows where with Greg and he had barely turned into the driveway when a thought popped into my head and I gasped out loud.“That is totally not a weird sound to make out of the blue,” Greg snorted and I slapped him on the arm, “What I’m just saying.” “Shut up,” I rolled my eyes, “I just remembered something.”“And what might that be?” “You know a witch,” I said and all eyes turned to me, “She might be willing to help.”“I’m sorry but what witch are we talking about?” “The one that helped me with my potion,” I said and his eyes widened.“Look as far as I know, she’s an herb and potions witch,” he said, “I don’t think this is her area of expertise.” “What’s the harm in trying?” I asked, “We just need to ask first.”“Listen sweetheart,” Greg began, “You don’t just go to witches and ask for help.” “Yeah you do,” I said, “You went to her for the potion.”“No,” he said with a small shake of

Greg was munching on one of the pastries with his left hand while keeping the other one on the steering wheel.“You’re supposed to use both hands while driving,” I muttered under my breath and he raised a brow at me through the mirror and deliberately took another bite. “Would you like to take over?”“If I die then my ghost is going to haunt you forever,” I said with a pout. “If you die then I’m dead as well so there’s no haunting for you.” He said and I rolled my eyes, “I’ve been driving for years Charlie calm down.”“How old are you anyways?” I asked and he scoffed. “I find it insulting that you don’t know how old I am.”“Are you going to tell me or not?” “Is this how we’re going to spend the entire ride?” Logan cut in, “With both of you bickering like children?”“Well I’m still a child,” I said with a shrug. “You’re nineteen,” he deadpanned, “You’re not a child.”“Yes she is,” Greg said with a small snicker, “Look how she’s sitting i

“I had forgotten how careless you could be when talking to witches,” Greg said after about twenty minutes of silence. “She agreed to help us,” I said, “What’s the big issue?”“How did she know your name?” Logan asked and Greg beat me to an answer. “Because little Miss. I like to talk to witches told her,” he said and I rolled my eyes.“I didn’t know that we weren’t supposed to tell her,” I said, “I was trying to be nice.” “Well now she’s way too into your head.” Greg complained and I rolled my eyes.“I have nothing to hide.” “It’s not just about you,” he yelled and Logan let out a growl that made me jump slightly.“Don’t yell at her,” he said in a dangerously low voice and Greg went silent, “Apologize.”The expression on Logan’s face is one I’ve seen only a handful of times and because of how nice he is I sometimes forget what he’s capable of. He isn’t the Alpha of a pack for no reason.“I’m sorry for yelling at you,” Greg said and all I could manage

“Possessed,” I squeaked out and she rolled her eyes. “Don’t turn into a broken record right now,” she said then turned to Logan, “Open the cell.”“He’s rabid.” He argued “He’s unconscious,” she corrected, “Open the cell so I can perform my spell.”He muttered some expletives under his breath before signaling for them to unlock the cell.“I need everyone out except the both of you.” She said and everyone scurried out; apparently scared of the tiny witch.She walked into the cell and knelt on the floor; apparently not caring about the piss and blood lying everywhere.She began to chant but almost immediately snatched her hand back as if she was burnt.“You were his best friend right?” she asked Logan and he nodded, “So get over here and place your hand on him.”Logan clenched his jaw at the order but followed her and did as she asked.“For this to work I’m going to have to browse through your memories,” she said and he nodded stiffly, “I need your name.”He told her his n

Logan came in about a second after she had finished speaking and her eyes snapped to his.“I am leaving now,” she said, “It was an honor to be here.” “Thank you,” he said and she nodded.“You might want to work on gathering allies,” she offered over her shoulder as she walked out. “That wasn’t weird at all,” I muttered and I heard Logan chuckle.“Let’s get you out of here,” Logan said as he offered me his hand, “You have blood and piss on your knees.”I made the mistake of looking and cringed, “I’m burning these.”“I’ll bring the lighter,” he added and I gave him a smile.********************************It has been two days since we got Jake back but he’s still unconscious. Logan relaxed the curfew till ten to give the people a sense of safety.I’m also back at the pack house albeit not permanently. I think I’ve scarred those children enough so I just hang around Logan’s office and help wherever I can. I’m better at math than him so he lets me do anything that has to d

Logan didn’t say a word until we got to the hospital.He didn’t speak while I took Amelia back to the day care and he didn’t speak through the car ride; he just held my hand in his.“Are you sure you don’t want to go in alone first?” I asked and he shook his head.I didn’t say anything else because I knew it wouldn’t help the situation. I just let the nurse lead us into the room where Jake was held.I took in his figure lying on the bed and couldn’t help but notice how starkly different he is from when I first met him.For starters his facial hair has grown out making him look more wild and rugged, he is a lot thinner and he just looks worn and tired. I noticed the silver cuffs holding him to the bed and held back a wince.“I would be upset about these,” Jake said with a nod at the cuffs, “But I think I understand,” his voice was so hoarse from lack of use but I cleared my throat. “Hi Jake,”“Charlie,” he began softly, “I am so sorry for everything that happened.”I took a ste

Jake was discharged within a week and almost immediately he went back to his beta duties although he hasn’t taken over completely. Diana seems to have forgiven him although Greg is still a bit reluctant to come around which explains why he is shooting daggers at Jake from the corner of his eye. “Are you sure we made the right choice by leaving them together?” I asked as I peeked through the kitchen door. “Relax, Logan is there,” she said, “He’ll be sure to play peace maker.” “He seems more likely to leave them to brawl it out,” I commented and she thought about it for a second before nodding. “I think you’re right.” “I think we should intervene,” “Relax Charlie,” she grabbed my arm, “If they start fighting then Logan will just kick them both out.” “Fine but I’m not cleaning anyone’s blood off the floor,” I mumbled. “The only person whose blood is going to spill is Jake,” she deadpanned. “I can’t believe you’re betting on who is going to
