Chapter 092
Logan's POV
"Fuck... Akira..." I rushed to her, "Akira..." I called out to her but she had already passed out just like the first time she saw my wolf.
"Logan?" I heard Meredith calling out to me
"Hey, what are you doing here? you are supposed to remain at the Packhouse,"
"Yes, but Austin and I thought you might need a helping hand, so we decided that I followed since his cousin alpha Casper called that you shove him away,"
"That damn wolf, it's all his fault that he brought her to the wolf den and goddess knows I will haunt alpha Morgan down if he is responsible for this,"
"You will deal with that later Alpha, here, you need to wear something," my mind had blanked out that I was nude after I shifted, I grabbed the clothes Meredith stretched to me, after grooming myself, scooping her in my hand while I run with her back to the car, I needed to bring her to somewhere safe.
We were back at the mansion, I called for a doctor to examine her, "how is she?" I asked.
"Just the bruise on her wrist and ankle, I think she should be up any moment from now." He said after examining her.
"Thanks..." I said to Dr. Phil, he nodded before he gathered his stuff and left, I was waiting for Akira to wake up when Austin's mind linked me.
'Hey Alpha, is she up, Meredith told me, that you were able to get her before those wolves attacked her,'
'Yeah, Dr. Phil said she would be up in no time and that she didn't sustain another bruise apart from the ones on her wrist and ankles,' I said examining her hands.
'don't worry with time the wound will heal,'
'I know that but the truth is, I don't know how to face her, I don't know how she will react seeing me here when she wakes up, what if she doesn't want me, what if she wanted nothing to do with me because I am a wolf? I love her, I don't think I could let her go easily,' I murmured the last parts.
'I understand alpha, but you should tell her and I am sure, she wouldn't push your way,'
'Austin, you don't understand, you were there, you needed to see the terror in her eyes when she saw me transform before she passed out, she looked at me, like some monster,' I hissed at my words, I have never hated myself, the way I hated myself right now.
'c'mon Alpha...'
"Wolf?" I heard Akira scream and ended my mind fast rushing to her, my hands went to her shoulders trying to calm her.
"Akira, there are no wolf, it's just..." She swatted my hand from her body
"You? Monster?" She called me a monster again, I kept a distance from her, and I ran my fingers through my hair, the muscles in my forearm rippling under the strain. My jawbone clenched tight, and the veins in my neck stood out as the words crashed through my heart, Akira was seeing me differently.
"I am not a monster, I am just a man with a wolf, a werewolf," I struggled to say those words, they break my heart and it's tearing me in pieces. "Yes, I am a werewolf," I said and Akira's gaze was focused on me, that terror in her eyes hadn't melted a bit, I understood the hurt, the man she had claimed to love for these past weeks and thought that he is just some CEO turned out to be a monster.
"Logan, what are you saying?" Her voice trembled slightly, she didn't use that name, Wolfie anymore, I knew she must have felt there was something different about me, something that set me apart from anyone she had ever met, yet she was falling for me.
“I’m saying, Akira...,” I murmured, my voice low and rough, like gravel underfoot, “...that I’m not just a man, Akira, I’m… I’m a werewolf.”
"No, you are not a werewolf," she shook her head and blinked several times, I could hear the thudding of her heart in her chest. "A werewolf?" she echoed, disbelief coloring her tone. "That’s impossible. Werewolves don’t exist, Logan,"
“They do,” I said, my voice steadier now, though still thick with emotion, it's now or never. I took a step closer to her, sitting at the edge of the bed, she dragged her foot, to her chest, she was disgusted with my closeness, but I ignored her and the pain her actions were causing my wolf in my head, “I do. And not just any werewolf. I’m an alpha. The leader of my pack.”

Akira's POV
"No...no..." I screamed shaking my head that image was creeping into my head again, my mind was reeling, trying to process the words that didn’t make any sense. How could he be a werewolf? The man I had fallen for, was a werewolf, this can't be, I don't want him to be one, a man is a man and a wolf is a wolf, "you are not one," I yelled at his face.
“Please, just listen,” Wolfie pleaded, his voice softening as he reached out to touch me, but I shifted from him, my instincts telling me to put a distance between us. The hurt that flashed across his face was like a knife twisting in my heart. I couldn’t bring myself to hurt him yet I couldn't let him touch me.
"Akira, I’m telling you the truth. I’ve wanted to tell you for so long, but I didn’t know how. I didn’t want to scare you and the night before I left I also wanted to tell you.” He sighed deeply, running his hand through his hair again. “But I can’t hide it from you anymore. Not now.”
“Why now?” I asked, my voice more of a whisper. “Why tell me this now?”
“Because you deserve to know the truth, you’re my fated mate,” he said, the words mate came up again. “In my world, that means you’re the one destined for me. The one I’m supposed to spend my life with, protect, and love till my last breath, you are my mate, we are bound together, what you humans called marriage is the word mate.”
My breath hitched in my throat as I stared at him, trying to find the lie in his words, but there was none. His eyes were flicking white, just as the things I read in those books Vida gave to me.
“Your fated mate?” I repeated, the words were foreign and strange to me. But were they foreign and strange to me? Vida told me a thousand times, that Wolfie is a werewolf, yet I was in denial.
“Yes,” he said, his voice filled with pain. “It’s a bond stronger than anything else, stronger than love. It’s the universe’s way of telling us that we’re meant to be together, that our souls are bound, by the moon goddess our creator, she created all werewolves.”
I shook my head, trying to make sense of it all. “Logan, I don’t… I don’t understand. How can you be sure? How can you know that I’m… that?”
"It's Because I feel it, and my wolf is hankering for you,” he said simply, placing his hand over his heart. “Every time I’m near you, every time I touch you, it’s like… it’s like I’m complete. Like nothing else matters but you. It’s a pull, a connection that I can’t ignore. And I know you feel it too, Akira. That is while you are drawn to me.”
I swallowed hard, unable to deny the truth in his words. I had always felt something different with Wolfie, something more intense than with anyone else but even Ethan, my ex-boyfriend. He was always there for me.
“What does this mean?” I asked, my voice filled with uncertainty. “For us? For me? And thing on my neck what does it mean?" I asked pointing to my neck because I knew it was still there.
“It means that you’re mine, I branded you, that is our mark on each other neck,” he said, pulling the collar of his shirt and the place he said I left hickeys on was still there. “But it also means that I’m yours. That I accepted you as my mate and you also did and that I will not have another female except you, the same goes with you.” he pointed at the mark on his neck, "my wolf wouldn't lie, he always saves you, right from the start, when he smells you,"
"It's the wolf from the other night, why didn't you tell me?" I asked, he parted his lips to say something but I beat him to it, "I want to see him, if he wouldn't hurt me."
