“ The man the one who gave you this bouquet by any chance was he called Derek O’Neil?” He watched Levy closely though she was an ace in hiding her emotions now he threw that question out of nowhere. She was bound to slip up and she did, as soon as he asked the question her face went slack and her gaze sharpened as if wondering how he knew the name of the admirer who came looking for her. Logan clenched his fingers, his wolf snarling inside his head. Derek O’ Neil… one of these days he was going to shred that man into bits and ——- he closed his eyes, why was he reacting like this? So what if Derek was approaching Levy? It didn’t concern him. Of course, he knew that it didn’t concern him but Logan couldn’t help but grind his teeth when he thought about how that sneaky man was trying to cosy up to his mate. He knew that it was unjustified that he was trying to stake his claim on Levy when he had no intention to claim her but she could have done better than this right? Even if she wante

Levy woke up the next morning feeling drained and tired, she couldn’t remember when was the last time she had a good night's sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, the screams of the prisoners of the frost gate prison would echo in her ears, followed by the memories of being zapped or hit with the electric baton every time she closed her eyes. And then Levy would wake up with her back drenched in a cold sweat. “ Damn my eye,” she rubbed her blind eye that was itching while the feeling of little pebbles stuck inside her intensified as she rubbed it with her knuckle. Levy sighed and dropped her hand, there was no point in troubling herself with this, even if she was to rub it throughout the entire morning, she wouldn’t be able to get rid of the prickly feeling. From time to time her bad eye would hurt and even though it felt painful, Levy had gotten used to it. She pushed herself off the bed and then looked for the eyepatch that she has made with her old clothes. She found it deep in

Logan didn’t bother to answer Levy’s question, he seemed to have realised that the more time he spent with Levy, the more his head became messed up. It was cowardly of him to run from a female, especially the one he believed he can take down at any moment but he knew that he couldn’t do it. He still needed Levy for Lily’s sake, she was the only one who was able to find what was wrong with Lily after so many years when no other mage could, harming her would be equivalent to harming Lily’s chances at survival. If he wanted to keep a straight head on his shoulders and not be affected by the stupid mating bond then he has to make sure that he stayed away from Levy as much as possible. Because the more he stayed with her, the more she messed with his head. He turned his head away and picked up a styrofoam cup from the cabinet before filling it with coffee. He planned to sit down at a chair and take his own leisurely time to finish his breakfast but not today, he couldn’t stay in the sam

Jacob smiled with a sympathetic look in his eyes as he slowly said, “ It has been seven years Levy, times have changed. The things that were here seven years ago are no longer here.” That’s right, it has been seven years ever since she last visited that library most probably it was boarded by now and might have a bunch of termites singing hallelujah within its wall. “ Oh, I see.” There was nothing else she could say or think —— she knew in her heart that times have changed but every time she found out something like this, she couldn’t help but feel that someone has smacked her straight in the face. The time lost suddenly felt so real and gone.Jacob might have understood that he said something he shouldn’t have because he too cleared his head uncomfortably and then looked at Levy with a hesitant look in his eyes. “ So, why not let me drive you?” Honestly, taking his offer was the right thing to do but—— she raised her head sharply and glared at him. “ This does not change anything

“ I will return around noon, you cannot skip eating lunch.” Jacob stared at her with an old father’s worried look on his face while nagging her nonstop. She was sure that he was going to almost nag her about how skinny she was but he was smarter than that, he knew that if he said something like that Levy will certainly say something heartless to him, so he only told her again and again that he would return around noon for her and then the two will have lunch together. If she wanted she could borrow some books from the library to read at home. Levy very much wanted to tell him to stop nagging but upon thinking about the pitiful balance she had in her pocket, she could only agree with Jacob. Last night she only got a two-dollar or three-dollar tip and it was after working for an entire night that she collected ten dollars. She knew that she couldn’t buy anything filling with that meagre sum, so she chose to have breakfast at the lodge. Jacob asked her to wait for him at the library pa
