Chapter 68: Without her
Logan
"Tell me, Logan, what do your brothers do?" Oscar asked me while Vera watched intently. The alpha and the Luna seemed stranger to me every day, I had known them all my life - he practically raised us - but since the human arrived, I noticed that something strange was happening.
"Are you serious? Why don't you first explain why you agreed to a trial against me before the Council? And you forced me to be with her! Like I was a damn puppy!" I asked angrily.
My brothers had gone to rest; probably to seduce the human. They were desperate to have her close. And I still couldn't forget how she had run to greet them, delighted, excited, frightened, happy to see them.
"She was happy to see us, too," Morgan said. Yeah... of course.
The truth was, the more time we spent around her, the more the bond pulled us in, trapped us. Damn it.
"You put yourself in this situation, Logan. You're the oldest, supposedly the most coherent, the wisest, the most responsible. There was no other choice," my uncle yelled at me.
It wasn't the first time he tried to get information from me about my brothers. He liked to pamper and privilege me so he could take advantage of me and make me reveal something about them, their plans with the Night Wolves, or now with the human mate.
I wanted to tell him he could shove his questions where the sun didn't shine, or that, as my brothers often said, I was only a few minutes older; that didn't give me wisdom. Those stupid minutes and seconds put a burden on my shoulders, a responsibility I didn't deserve.
"I don't accept it, I won't tolerate it, I want to have my mate just for me! Like you only have one!" I shouted. Vera looked at me, but said nothing, and my uncle sighed.
It was supposed to be one of the great privileges of being an Alpha: having an exclusive mate, one of the few benefits, if you could call it that, since everything else was a burden and a responsibility. In my uncle's and my father's time, while women were scarce, but it wasn't as bad as it was now.
Now we were at a critical point, and that's why everything exploded: the rogues, the humans, the other packs. Jealousy, possession, power, the growth and strength of the packs, everything centered on mates, on women to balance the equation, on feeling loved, on their strength and support, not just on procreation. We all knew it.
"Look, kid... you're going to tell me what's going, what did those scoundrels know?"
"Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong," I reply angrily. My body ached, I wanted to sleep and wake up with good news. I was deeply bitter.
"You're going to tell me whether you want to or not, you damn boy!" he shouted, grabbing me by the neck. His look was cold and sick, he was no longer the Alpha who avoided decisions and conflict. My uncle had beat me and my brothers to kept us under control, but this was different.
"You should have started ruling and getting involved in the problems! Not just be a mere spectator!" I shouted, struggling with him.
"Oscar!" Vera shouted firmly, and my uncle seemed disturbed. He let go of me immediately and straightened his suit. She looked at me seriously; this was getting out of hand.
"This is the last time you lay a hand on me. You're the Alpha for now, remember, you're just taking care of my position. Understood?" I shouted.
"Be careful what you say, Logan. Don't dare to threaten me," he growled. He was a powerful Alpha, but an old one. I was the oldest of the Three Dragons, with two brothers who would be on my side no matter what, or so I hoped.
"That's not a threat, that's a fact!" I walked out of his office.
I was so angry and wanted to avoid everything, I left the pack house and let Morgan take control, as if letting my body and mind drift for a moment would help. Maybe it would for a few hours.
Morgan ran, feeling the forest, listening to the sounds of the night until dawn. He hunted prey, chased the moon, howled and showed himself to the forest as the great lord, the great ruler, the most powerful creature.
"Logan... come with us, with mate," I heard Dominic's voice through the mindlink. He sounded agitated, I assumed they were taking advantage of her.
"Leave me alone," I said and closed the link.
I almost wanted to find a rogue, an enemy, Gerard, Mafia and his cronies to show up. But the pack was quiet, as were the borders. Beyond them were my warriors, watching from afar as I took over these lands, the lands of my parents and ancestors.
I couldn't let all this fall into the hands of a human Luna, or half-human heirs, I couldn't allow it. Much less could I let it fall into the hands of the enemy, all those worms waiting to take advantage of our misfortune.
No matter how much the human got into my heart, how her brown eyes reached my soul, how she seduced me without thinking. I had to plan something.
But when I came home in the morning, something was different. I smelled the smell of the human and my brother's mixed together, and my heart skipped a beat.
"No, it can't be," I growled, and Morgan howled. When I opened the door, I found them naked, calm, happy, wrapped in a big hug, clothes scattered on the floor, and the delicious scent of her arousal.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what happened when Kurt got up and covered the human, pulling the sheet over her.
"Logan? Damn, you scared me," he said.
"Really? I can't believe it! After everything that's happened!" I shouted and within seconds Dominic was standing in front of me in his boxers.
"He smells like her... deeply," Morgan sighed.
"What's wrong with you? I tried to reach you, you idiot," he asked, dragging me into the hallway.
"Did you really fuck her?" He looked offended.
"A mate isn't fucked!" he replied like an idiot.
"Now we'll be more connected to her. We'll become weaker! You've never been with a woman like that before, both of you! Idiots!" I roared.
"You mean you will get weaker because you are not with her, because you do not share this with us. And we'll get stronger until we mark her, of course. And clearly, she should be our only woman, not like others..." he hissed through his teeth.
I don't know what bothers me more, that he's right or... the jealousy. Damn jealousy.
"Asshole!" I yelled angrily, and he stopped me, grabbing my shoulders.
"Respond, Logan. We are powerful triplets, alphas, with a mate chosen by the moon goddess. She's trying to forgive us, she's human, yes... but we won't share her with anyone else. She's ours... she wants to be ours, to give herself to us," he said seriously, and my heart skipped a beat. But then I reacted.
"You made the worst mistake! You'll pay for it!" I said, full of anger. I couldn't be near them, near their scent.
They... fuck her, possessed her. I should have imagined it, listened to what he said when he called me, and... stopped this mistake.
But maybe I knew, if I was here... I would fall at her feet. I would be her foolish subject.
I have to find a solution. Now!
