Chapter 055
Logan's POV
"Trust me..." I whispered, my voice was low, her face was badly hurt, and I thought her nose was broken, because of my stupidity, this wasn't the first time she was hurting because of me, although her eyes were still open I could feel the pain she was going through and her bleeding was becoming unbearable, I know she wouldn't have to hold on this long if I didn't share the pain, I wanted to take the pain completely but it would be suspicious if she is bleeding and not felt any pain, she is human.
My desperation becomes unbearable and she was slowly shutting her eyes, "Fuck it..." I swear, before I knew what was happening, my wolf was taking control and he was fighting desperately to come out, I felt my wolf within me stirring, eager to heal our mate.
I leaned in, my tongue flickering out to taste the blood on her face, my heart hammering in my chest. I try to gain control, fighting hard not to reveal my true nature to Akira, fearing her reaction, and risking the chances of letting the world know who I am.
Just as my tongue made contact with her skin, a voice echoed in my mind, and a hand fell on my shoulder almost immediately
"Logan, stop!"
It was Meredith, my beta, my gaze moved to him.
"What are you doing?" Meredith demanded, his voice laced with panic. "She doesn’t know, Logan, have you forgotten that? She doesn’t know what you are!"
"I know, I am just going to erase her memory of it,"
"And fall into a coma again?" He asked
I signed, frustration and desperation mingling in my chest. "I don’t care, Meredith! She’s dying. I can save her!"
"Can you stop, she is not dying, she just had a broken nose and for once think about the consequences!" Meredith’s voice was insistent, urgent. "If she wakes up and sees you like this, what do you think will happen? You’ll lose her, Logan, she’ll be terrified, and she already suspected that something was off."
My mind was clouded with emotion. I looked down at Akira, her face serene despite the pain she must be in. The thought of her waking up to see me almost shifting to a scary wolf, 'I am not scary?' My wolf, thunder growls in my head, I smirk and I think he reasons it out with Meredith because he withdrew to the back of my mind.
"Come on let's bring her inside, we could treat her with human assistance." I shut my eyes, my breath came in ragged gasps, my body trembling with the effort to hold back my urge to save her.
I scooped her into my hand and brought her into the mansion, "Hold on, Akira," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.
I sat there, watching the doctor take care of her, my heart was racing and worry was killing me.
"She is fine," the doctor said pulling his hand cloves, "Let's give her thirty minutes to one hour, she should be fine, she wasn't badly hurt just that her nose was broken but she is fine, no damage done," he said, and smile at me, Mr. Maddox had always been our family doctor, even though he is a human, he is aware that we are wolves and his sister was married to one of us.
"Thank you, you are a lifesaver," I said shaking his hand.
"It's fine, and I am glad you trust me," he said. I nodded moving back to the bed where Akira was lying, I grabbed her hand, intertwining my hand with hers.
"Why are you fucking stubborn?" I asked pulling her hair from her face.
"It's because you are always getting in my way," her voice came out stronger like she wasn't hurt before and my eyes dilated, I thought Dr. Maddox said that she would be up almost in an hour. "Stop holding my hand like we are lovers and you are afraid of losing me?" Her teasing voice came up that was when I realized my hand was intertwined with hers, "or are you falling for me?" She added tauntingly, and I withdrew my hand, I heard my Butler and Meredith choke behind me, I felt embarrassed, and I stood from the side of the bed. "Hi, Meredith..." She said smiling at him and my naughty beta, flashed her that ugly boyish smile, it's annoying.
"You should rest you are not strong enough to chitchat," I scoff.
"I wasn't chitchatting, and I am fine, it's like nothing happened to me," she said popping her body up, her gaze suddenly became stronger on me, I looked at her confused
"Did I do..."
She interrupted me, "Where you about to lick up my wound?" She asked, "Can your saliva heal?" she asked again before she gestured for me to come closer, sat on the bedside again, looking at her even more confused than before, she pulled my lips too suddenly for me to know what she was about to do before she forces my lips open, she used her fingers to poke my tongue, I just let her do what she wanted to do, then she pulled it a bit too hard. "Ouch..." I let out a soft scream.
"Sorry... It's just that..." She paused
"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked, my eyes scanning her face, I could tell something was troubling her.
She nodded slowly, but the expression on her face was enough to show she was still trying to come to accept the thought that might be flogging her head. "Yeah..." She shrugged her shoulder before she ruffled her hair, contemplating whether to ask, she sighed, "...It was just so weird. Right before I passed out, I thought I saw your tongue... like, really long," she said, her voice tinged with confusion, I gulped my saliva, did she find out already? I shook the thoughts off my head before I masked my emotions and chuckled. "My tongue? Seriously?"
She twitched her lips, realizing how strange it sounded. "I know, it sounds crazy. But I swear, it looked like it just... plunged out of your mouth, and it was about to lick me," she said almost not sure of what she was saying or probably not convinced about what she saw.
"Oh, was that the reason you were pulling my jaws?" She lowered her gaze feeling embarrassed. "You could just ask me and I'll prove it to you. Here," I said, sticking out my tongue as far as I could.
I was expecting her to ask me to stop but she didn't, she leaned in, her curiosity getting the best part of her. She examined my tongue closely, her expression darkened and she was more confused. "It's not that long now," she murmured, her brows furrowed.
'stupid, how can my tongue be long in my human form, unless she wanted me to transform,' I said mentally before I shrugged, pulling my tongue back. "Maybe you were just imagining things. You did faint, after all."
Akira sighed, feeling a bit embarrassed but also relieved. "Yeah, maybe. It just felt so real," she admitted, rubbing her temples.
I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, it's alright. The important thing is that you're okay. You shouldn't be running away like that, you should tell me if you want to go out." I said with a warm smile.
It seemed she remembered something, "Where is my phone?" She looks around the bed, getting desperate again.
"It's with me for now..."
"What the fuck? Give it back. Did anyone call?" I shook my head, "thank goodness, let me have my phone, I have to go to my mom," she said swinging her legs from the bed, and I grabbed her hand.
"You can't go, it's dangerous, don't go meeting up with that woman, she is only going to put you in danger..."
"She is my mom and she had my necklace, I need to retrieve it, that is the only way I could get my..." Her words were interrupted when the news of someone looking for a necklace came up, "that's my necklace, it's mine and I am not giving it out, I need to retrieve it from my mom," she screamed, I grabbed her shoulder.
"Relax, you are not giving it, no one will force you to," I try to reassure her.
"Will you help me look for the person looking for the necklace?" She asked her voice almost inaudible, "I could do anything, don't just let them take it from me, it might be the only link I had with my mother...promise me, you will help me look for her,"
