Misery would love company

It took them a long night to leave the ice-cold dungeon. A long ice-cold nights that left him wondering what the hell was wrong with Were country this far-east.
For Logan, the worst part was that he spent a night in the dungeon, without any idea what had happened to Emily and with Bruce who was complaining half the time.
" it is cold and damp, " he murmured again for the umpteenth time.
Logan sighed, he was aware of the fact, that they had no food or water, and there was nowhere to relieve themselves.
Logan was certain that Alpha Zavi was doing this to get on his nerves and he was trying to make it abundantly clear that he ran this place. He understood the man but if he laid a finger on Emily then he would kill him.
He was used to the treatment, it was far worse than when the Dark Moon pack had been under Zavi's father. Logan remembered the horror stories and the several meetings to soothe riled pack members or the way they treated those not a part of their pack.
Logan tried to comfort himself that if they treated him and Bruce this way then they wouldn't harm Emily or Aspen
By the second day, Logan was so weak with worry that he wanted nothing more than to break through the door and find Zavi and break his nose and face into a million pieces, unable to help it any longer Logan stood from the floor and stumbled toward the gate and his legs wobbled
" Jesus man will you stay still for once in your life" Bruce muttered
" I can't " he muttered, his ribs ached and he winced, with every movement as everything turned shades of gray and black behind his eyelids. The guards had roughed him up more than a little bit to show their authority probably but he couldn't blame them. They would follow orders and when would they ever have a chance to beat up an alpha?
The door flew open and someone rushed inside, Logan didn't know who it was that burst in there. Bruce rose from the floor and joined him bear the door, Logan chose to stand there in silence, they wouldn't answer his questions anyway
" You are awake," a voice said and Logan looked at the man who was speaking, he was short and he didn't remember him much, his eyes were a dark blue the more Logan looked at him he realized the boy was young maybe twenty or twenty-five with his reddish-blond hair, that looked at him with thinly veiled annoyance.
It was an emotion Logan was used to seeing and it did not surprise him, no one had ever worried about me before the people who did were mostly dead or with me in this.
" The alpha had asked for you," he said. Logan paused and then froze, that couldn't be right, he remembered the cold gaze of the alpha Zavi had met yesterday, he couldn't be worried about him. So what exactly did he want from them, his palm was almost sweaty but he rubbed them over his trousers.
He showed him and Bruce out of the cell and to a bedroom on the corner and shoved him into a bathroom
" You stink take a bath," he mumbled shoving some clothes on the bed.
Logan got into the shower and let the water glide over his body as it did. He needed to take his time and think of a way to get them out of here once and for all, banging in the door had him jerking to reality
" Do you have to be that loud?" he asked and Bruce scoffed
" You're hogging the water " he laughed, grateful for his friend's presence. He wrapped a towel around his waist opened the door and walked out where he saw him waiting.
" Have your fun" he mumbled as he stalked to the room..he looked at the bed and the selection of clothes which wasn't much, a thin white shirt, black cargo trousers, and a multi-coloured shirt. He took the white, Bruce stalked into the bedroom and hissed
" You have got to be kidding " he muttered grabbing his arm
" Why do you get the white shirt"
" Because it's my size" he answered
" Bullshit " Bruce countered and he smirked
" Because I came out of the bathroom first " he replied as a knock sounded on the door
" Get dressed rainbow boy" he mumbled walking to the door and opening it, a girl with the same strawberry blond hair as the man who had released them from the cell.
" They're waiting for you sir" she muttered and he nodded
" Hurry up" he called out to Bruce who joined them at the door
" We're here," he said and the girl nodded for them to follow
She led them to the dining room, which was a large room with a cafeteria-like setting, she led Logan to the alpha's table, who looked at him head to toe but Logan wasn't paying attention to him, his eyes scanned the room looking for Emily, she was sitting at the table next to Aspen and flushed a crimson red when she caught his gaze, he then looked to Aspen arching his brow in a silent question, she was sitting next to Emily and she nodded slightly in answer.
" Gentlemen, welcome, join us for dinner" Alpha Zavi looked up at a man with a large broad chest and a forbidden look.
Logan nodded and sat down gently
" I see you have enjoyed your time in isolation" he mumbled
" You can't be serious" Emily scoffed shooting him a harsh look and he sighed
" What! I can say what I want " he huffed, He looked to the table and then hummed
" Emily, Aspen move to the head of the table. I want us to be able to converse without shouting" he said softly. He looked at a slim woman at the side of the table, she was pretty of course I expected that from his woman
" Darling will you move down the table a bit"
The girl's eyes widened in shock at his request.
"But alpha Zavi, I always sit at this spot during dinner. It is my place," she protested, her voice laced with defiance. She didn't like being told what to do, she didn't like also being relegated to a corner of the conversation.
"I did not ask for your opinion, darling. If I need it I'll tell you." He huffed
" I am the Alpha of this pack, and I have made my decision. Now, stand up and allow Emily and Aspen to sit there" he ordered almost close to a roar.
" Zavi we can talk from here" Emily mumbled
Her jaw tensed, but she reluctantly rose from her seat, casting a venomous glare in our direction. Bruce leaned into me
" I think we just got on someone's bad side" Logan sighed as Emily and Aspen moved, Emily was trying not to fidget with all the many eyes on her.
Logan tried to eat, he was weak from hunger but as the meal progressed, he barely made a dent in his plate. He wanted to know what was happening around him and why he was there, the smell of the food twisted and turned at his stomach and the small bite of it sat in his stomach like lead.
It was made worse by the fact that the mistress's eyes bore into him with blatant disdain. Or was she looking at Emily then
Alpha Zavi looked at them and then frowned, he looked at her and called her name softly
" If you can't have dinner without upsetting my guest then I suggest you leave " he ordered, she hissed in annoyance dropping her spoon on the table before she stormed out of the room.
" Well then that gives us the peace to discuss what we need to," he said and Logan nodded
" Fine, so what do you want" he asked and Emily smiled
Alpha Zavi raised his hand and he ordered the maids to leave the room.
" Well the alpha has graciously agreed to let us have our space here, and look for the records we need "
" Yes aren't I so accommodating," he said and she huffed
" Yes you are, Alpha Zavi" Aspen muttered with some sort of boredom.
" Well there is one condition" he muttered
" Of course there is " Bruce hissed shoving food into his mouth
" What do you want," Logan asked and Aspen sighed leaning into the table
" He wants us to find some woman Sera "
" A priestess Sera" he huffed and Aspen scoffed
" Same difference"
" You exist to get on my nerves"
" Of course Daddy" she replied, Bruce gagged
" Please don't say that " he pleaded, Alpha Zavi paled which confused him but he ignored it
" So we have two days to find what we need " he asked and received a sharp nod
" When can we start " he asked rising from his seat, he wanted them on this and out of the Dark Moon pack immediately.
" Tomorrow, take it easy, " Emily said grasping his hand, a maid walked into the room and he looked at her
" Take them to their rooms" he ordered rising from his seat, she nodded.
We watched him walk away and Logan sighed
" Is everyone ok?" he asked
" We're fine" Aspen mumbled
" What about you " she asked.
The maid a submissive, bowed in front of them
" I'll take you to your room" They followed her, the room was a good size and the bed was big enough that he and Bruce could share, it was warm but dimly lit, Logan collapsed on the bed, too tired to try looking around the room some more.

Logan just wanted a normal life, he didn't need or want the chaos that came with trying to solve where these ghouls' problems were coming from
The door opened and he looked up only to see Emily walk into the room instead of Bruce she walked in and stood over him,
" Are you ok?" She asked and he sighed
" I'm fine" he murmured
" Are you sure" she queried. A cruel smile played on his lips.
"Are you that worried about me, I didn't expect that ." He replied, he knew he was being petty
" What do you mean by that," she asked and he shrugged
" Well considering you told me you didn't want anything to do with me" she sighed
I don't see what that has to do with this"
He rose from the bed and circled her like a predator reveling in its prey's desperation and suffering
"You rejected me, you did not want anything to do with me, I thought that's what we were doing, "he said and she scoffed
" Of course you do this, I'm not doing this with you" she hissed turning away from him but he gripped her hand and spun her around to look her in the eyes
" You don't get to walk away from me like that" she whimpered softly dragging her hand out of his grip but holding herself together.
He didn't know what to do, but he knew he couldn't hurt her more than she could hurt him.
" You rejected me first, you told me no over and over again so I decided to listen" She said.
" Oh, so when you were sticking your tongue down my throat where were those morals " he asked salaciously, he was being a bastard and he would pay for it. She made him pay immediately, her hand slammed into his face and crackled before she drew back a venomous look in her gaze
"I can worry about you physically without having to worry about your nakedness" she huffed pulling her hand away from him
" Good night, don't be late tomorrow" she hissed and stormed out of the room shutting the door with a loud bang behind her.
The door opened and he looked up as Bruce walked in
" What the hell have you done."
