Logan: Alpha Alliance Book I のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Logan--“Yes, I broke the door down! What if she had been in danger? I knew she was safe in my condo, but tell my wolf that! I broke down the door and that freaked her out more, and she started talking about infections and having to go to the urgent care and she just… reeked of terror. She was scared of me. Because I drew her blood and broke down a solid wood door. I just wanted her to calm down. She was so worried about infection… so I told her I was a wolf shifter and she didn’t have to worry about that. That…. Didn’t go well.”Derek jumps in and talks over whatever James was going to say. “You told her you were a werewolf after you bit her and drew blood? After she was already afraid of you because you were acting like a crazy person? You busted in with your already questionable sanity– from her perspective– and claimed to be a creature that she doesn’t think actually exists? What did you expect to happen, Logan? What would you have done in her situation?” I’m not sure. I just wan

Emory--“We had a great night, Cora. There were some moments that were weird, or off, but the sex was so good that I just didn’t think about it. I didn’t even realize I had this wound on my shoulder until I went to the bathroom to pee this morning.” What red flags had I missed? How had I let this happen to myself? “Weird moments? Can you elaborate on that for me, sweetie?” Under the concern on Cora’s face I can see the insatiable thirst for any kind of news or gossip that’s just so Cora. I indulge her, like I always have. “Well, besides the bites, which I didn’t even really notice happening, I kept seeing weird things. Like his eyes would look strange for just a second, or his teeth or nails. And he kept growling just like the guys in those books that I read. At first I thought it was just because he was so good;” I blush at telling her out loud about Logan’s prowess, “that I was imagining it, or that it was a trick of the light and the stars in my vision. Like maybe some guys real

Logan--What a goddamn disaster. Why does my fated mate have to be friends with a freaking tabloid hack? I glare through my window. The stars sure have a sick sense of humor, pairing the sweet, naive best friend of a gossip monger to a wolf shifter who is wholly dependent on secrecy from humankind. I look back at my computer screen. James, Oliver, Derek– they’re all ashen-faced and grim. I’ve fucked over all of us, now. This won’t blow back on just me. If this gets out, we’re all going to be under microscopes, if only because we’re well-known to be friends. I’ve ruined not only our lives, but my brother’s and my pack’s. I think of little Lexi with her missing front teeth, of headstrong Mason. I have to get this contained, now. “Considering the look on Emory’s face when I told her, I really doubt she’ll even tell her friend about it. In addition, she…. Still doesn’t know my last name” I run a hand through my hair, then scratch at my chest where the beginnings of a mate bond are tethe

Cora--Once I’m finally able to extricate myself from Emory’s sob fest, I realize that it’s a good thing she ruined all that perfectly good tequila with her carton of cellulite. This whole trip would be way more annoying if I had to wait for a damn cab on top of everything else. I do my best thinking while I’m in traffic, anyway. There’s obviously something going on with Logan Úlfur. If I’m very, very lucky, it’ll be multiple somethings. I convinced Emory to let me snap some pictures of her worst bite mark ‘for the police’ to use in an exposee about Logan being an abusive lover. I’ll have that, if nothing else. This nonsense she’s spouting about werewolves and teeth and claws is absurd, but she was afraid enough that I’m willing to investigate if he drugged her, like she was thinking. I think my first stop will be finding out where he lives and doing a stake out. If I can catch him red-handed buying some kind of hallucinogen it’ll be the breakthrough of my career. If not, I’ll just s

Emory--“Hey sweetie! It’s been weeks since I heard from you! Life in the big city gettin’ too exciting? Don’t forget your momma in all the hustle n’ bustle, now. What have you been up to? Did you start that diet?” I think about the takeout in the fridge. Not quite, Mom.“Uh, kinda. I actually just need to vent a little, Mom. I miss you.” I try to hold back my sniffle, but I know she hears it in my voice, anyway. She makes the same “Mom noise” she made when I was a kid running a fever. “Oh, no, honey. What happened? Did your boss say somethin’ to you?” She pulls the phone away to yell, probably from the kitchen to Dad’s man cave. “Bill! Fire up the computer, we need to get plane tickets!” I can’t stop the panic as she comes back to talk to me again. “Tell me all about it, Emmy-Jo. We’ll get ‘em.” “No, no Mom! Nothing happened at work. Well, not really. I just… I met someone. I really liked him, but it fell through and it turns out he owns the company I work at. I just don’t know wha
