Chapter 12

Beats, lights, humans, vampires, werewolves, music, happiness, booze, shots, strippers, and everything that brought happiness to the nightclub were present as the club was jampacked with everyone having fun. Logan's stand was present in the ocean of people making sure they were all having a good time.





After the interview he conducted three years ago; his club had increased their profit margin, he could see the impact of publicity on a business even though he recalled joking about it telling Ashley that it was because of her magnificent prowess in writing that had made the write up reach its full potential, for if he had written it no one will even care to read it. Though the hybrids had a different opinion about it, they always wanted their businesses to be in the dark, Logan tried to make them see the reason why with the change in a generation came their need to move with time and go in line with growth, for you can't continue to do the same thing for a long period and expect a different result.



"Logan does not blow our cover, for you know what is at stake when the whole city knows who you truly are," was the last word the elders of his clan had said in the meeting. Though he had promised them that he won't, they all nodded their heads in affirmation though deep down in his heart he could sense that they believed him not. His business has been booming more than any other enterprises that were run by hybrids in the central city but the silver lining in the way they did their things was that they all came together to assist one another and for that reason, almost all hybrids lived comfortably in the central city.



"Leave me alone," Logan sighted a lady struggling to break from the grip of a giant. With his hybrid ability, he was at the scene almost immediately.



"Leave the lady alone," he commanded immediately, glaring at the man who rough-handled the woman.



"And who are you?" The man asked as he snorted.



"Nobody, just a passerby that believes you shouldn't treat a lady that way."



"Is she your wife or your sister? I know the answer so fuck off."



"What if I don't?" Logan said, daring the man to challenge him.



"I am going to mess your pretty face up," the giant said with a smirk on his face.



"Will love to see you try it," The giant pushed the girl to the floor, faced Logan, and threw a punch at him.



Logan caught the punch and said, "Let us take the fight to the backyard."



"Fine, since you want to be beaten in private." Logan noticed he had a bunch of friends with him, as they went towards the back door





Finally, in the backyard, five men stood at the back of the giant, they were all hefty men, "I am gonna hurt you pretty bad" he threw an unexpected punch toward Logan and hit his jaw. Logan spat blood out.



"Who is the tough guy now?" The giant asked.



"You are!" The hefty men behind him yelled.



"Confident and strong; what a worthy opponent," Logan uttered sharply.



"You have a big mouth for someone who is about to die," the giant threw another punch this time Logan bent a little and the air was the one to suffer the attack this time.



Logan raised his head and kicked the giant, and the giant got angry, releasing his fangs to reveal he was a hybrid. Logan stood his ground in his hybrid form and battled all the men with the sole aim of teaching them a lesson, after close to thirty minutes of vampires sprawling over the place, destroying the large dustbin and making the backyard wreckage.



The fight was over with Logan being victorious although he suffered lots of injuries. He strolled towards the man who lay weak on the floor, held his hands, and said, "I will break this hand, to remind you not to ever use it on a lady again," and twisted the hand to the back and left it after it made a sound that signified the hand being broken.



"Better kill me, if not I will make your life a living hell!" the giant threatened

"As you just did right?" Logan laughed and went back into the club.

Ashley screamed as she saw her lover in a condition she never expected.



"What happened?" She looked worried wondering what fight must have gotten him to look that horrible.



"Nothing serious, I handled it," he gave her a reassuring smile but Ashley didn't look convinced.



"Did you?" She asked knowing he was in a terrible condition. Ashley walked towards Logan and began to examine his body, "You know much as not to fight anyone, you are a leader you just act like it."



"I know," Logan sighs as he struggled to seat down on a chair in Ashley's living room.



"I never knew you were coming over today," she responded, walking into her kitchen to prepare him some hot tea and getting back a few minutes later to hand him the cup filled with tea.





"With the way, I was feeling, I could only think of one person," Ashley walked towards her first aid kits, and took out some antiseptic and a ball of cotton wool to treat Logan.
