“Welcome to heaven,” Logan teased with a wink.
“Oh Logan, who is your new friend?” One of the ladies at the other table asked.
Logan smiled and shrugged. “I have no idea.” He then laughed and nodded his head at me. “This is Clover, she is here as the alpha’s personal masseuse. She is also an amazing cook and I don’t think we will ever let her go. Not if our alpha has anything to say about it.” He winked at the ladies and helped me to my feet.
“Later.” I followed him as he led me away. He looked at mine and grinned. “They like to flap their gums but don’t pay them any mind. There is nothing between Bree and Sion. Never was and never will be. Sion..” He glanced around and lowered his head to mine. “He doesn’t like her.. at all… not even as a person. He only keeps her around because of his father, but you didn’t hear this from me.” He cleared his throat and straightened up.
He wasn’t telling me anything I didn’t know. It was obvious how Sion treated Dr. Sinister that he wasn’t remotely interested.
“Logan, is that your girlfriend?” I heard an older woman ask from her porch.
Logan laughed and shook his head. “No, but I am keeping her safe just the same.”
“Such a good boy.”
“We have a pretty friendly pack here. There are always a few bad eggs but that isn’t the majority.” Logan smirked as he listened to me finishing my drink. “Told you.. amaaaaaazing.”
“Okay, you are right, that was one of the best peppermint mochas I have ever had.” I handed him my empty cup that he discarded along with his in a nearby waste can.
It was pleasant walking around the pack territory with him. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Most of them assumed Logan and I were dating though. I’m sure Sion will love that.
We walked into a clearing where a lot of children were gathered together. I was instantly interested in what they were doing. I didn’t get to play with other children growing up and this was something I always felt like I missed out on.
“Logan! Want to play with us?” A boy with red hair and freckles asked as he waved over at us.
“Can we?” I hurriedly asked, Looking up at Logan, who looked down at me in shock.
“You mean you want to?” I smiled and bit my l!p, nodding my head. It’s the little things, right? And this was like crossing something off of my bucket list. Playing a normal child game.. check.
“Alright, let’s do this… but we need code names. I am G-man and you are Scoop.”
“Okay sounds like fun.. what are they playing?” I asked.
“We are in Knuckles! What’s the game?” Logan asked as we walked closer to the kids.
“It’s hide and seek.” The boy looked over at me.
“This is Scoop… and I am G-man” Logan announced proudly, as he patted my shoulder.
“Lester is It.” The red-headed boy said, pointing at another boy who had brown curly hair.
“So we just hide?” l asked quietly, looking up at Logan.
“Yep and don’t let Lesty here find you. What are the boundaries?” Logan asked.
“Everything east of here up to the territory fence,”
Lester said as he walked past us. “I’m counting now morons, so better run!”
The boy began counting and the children scattered. I can not explain the thrill of excitement that was going through me. I felt like I was in a race. I sprinted off and Logan jogged effortlessly at my side.
“Go hide!” I hissed at him and he chuckled. “Seriously you are much bigger than me. You’ll give me away. Get!”
“Alright, Scoop, don’t get caught.” Logan winked at me and dashed away from me, obviously showing off his speed.
A*ssh0le. I didn’t have many wolves now. Of course, he was faster than me.
I ran through the woods until I saw a rustic-looking cabin. I ran around the cabin looking around. There were several large unkept bushes in front of the cabin. It looked like a great spot to hide, so l jumped into the bushes. I could hear children screaming and the sounds were getting closer. I was concentrating on the sound that I never noticed the noise from behind me.
“What are you doing?” I looked up to see a man with red hair and blue eyes. He looked to be several years older than me. We just stared at each other for a moment until I heard another child’s squeal. It was close. Too close. I reached up, grabbed the man’s hand, and yanked him down. I held my finger up to my l!ps and he just stared at me quietly.
We stayed hidden in the bushes for a few minutes until I heard the sounds traveling away. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding and smiled apologetically at the man.
“Sorry. I can be a bit competitive. My name is Clove..
“I looked around and shrugged. “I guess l am hiding in your bushes.”
“You shouldn’t be here.” The man said, standing up.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know the area well. This is my first day here..” I raised my eyes to him, waiting for him to give me his name.
“Kai.”
