When I woke up I was back in Logan’s room. My hair was still wet against my back so I couldn’t of been out long. I glanced around the room and saw Logan talking to some one with, what seemed to be florescent blue hair. How odd..
“Yeah, I know.. I’m Alpha over you Anton. You can’t tell me what to do. What I say goes.” I could only hear Logan‘s voice and not the blue haired ones. “Yeah she is doing fine actually. She has only been out for about an hour now.” Logan sighed, “No, you are not coming in to ‘snuggle’ with her.” He sounded disgusted. I wondered what the person looked like, all I could see was blue hair just over Logan’s broad shoulders. Also, what did he mean by ‘snuggle’? Sleep with me? Ha! Nope, not going to happen.
“Damn it I said no, now go away Anton before I make you.” And that’s when the door shut and he turned around. Logan looked down at me and it looked like he couldn’t register what he was looking at. He blinked those dark blue eyes at me, and I knew what it was. He didn’t know I was awake. He stepped closer and sighed. “Did I wake you?” I looked at him and smiled then shook my head. He smiled back and sat next to me. “Anton is a pain in the a**. He likes.. To sleep with everyone who is new to the pack. So they bond to him, and not people who are stronger and can help.” He spoke of matter-fact.
“Ah, I see.”
“You do? Are you positive you do?”
“Nope, not really.” I smiled again. He smiled back, I was betting he couldn’t help it. He leaned down, for a second I thought he was going to kiss me, silly me. He blinked.
“What? What is wrong?” He was confused, Great.
“N-nothing.” I lied. But he only grinned. Oh god, did he know why my throat was filled with my hammering pulse? I hope not! He leaned down again but towards my neck, that’s an intimate spot to go, but he didn’t touch, just took a deep breath and let it slide out on my skin. It made me shiver just from it touching my skin. Damn.
Logan chuckled, it was a low chuckle, he sounded happy, I don’t know why. “You smell of fear, what is wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong.” I could hear it in my own high pitched voice. While his head was close to my face I could smell his shampoo and a slight musk, like the outdoors was imprinted on him. It was intoxicatingly good. I noticed I was blushing and I both looked away from Logan and rolled to my side. Logan laughed then picked me up. He picked me up off the bed and stood. His six-foot-3 still made me feel tiny compared to him. I squealed, I don’t take to being picked up easily. I hate being picked up, I guess that’s because I’m scared of heights.
My hair was over both of my shoulders and I realized I had a tank-top on and a pair of very short shorts. Where have the shorts come from? I could tell the tank-top was Logan’s it smelled of him and it was to baggy.
“Liar. I can tell your Lying.” He held me tight against him and when I was going to struggle it didn’t happen. He wasn’t just strong, he was mellowing. He bit me, right in the back of the neck and I totally relaxed in his arms. I tried to squirm but his grip tightened and he bit slightly harder. Damn, I couldn’t tell if it felt good or bad. Was this bad? Bad as in being alone with him? I didn’t know him that well. He’s seen me naked more then any boyfriend that I’ve had. Is he just another guy who wants in my pants?
I tried to talk but it was a breathy whisper. “You caught me.” I said it to mean two things. One, he was right, I was lying. Second, because he found my spot. The one that I would collapse against anyone I knew and drop all my guards about anything down. He laughed with his deep voice, his breath brushing against my neck and making my breath in turn stop coming. Damn, I needed to get out of this predicament. I went to tell him to stop but he changed biting to a bit closer to my shoulder and growled. My thoughts blew out the window with that sensation. I was washed over by how that growl felt against my skin and I could tell he was enjoying my reactions because he didn’t stop. He went to the opposite shoulder and did the same damn thing. A small sound escaped my throat and I blushed. I didn’t even mean to make any sound. And he laughed slightly.
“What does doing this do to you, Amara?” He asked in a voice that didn’t sound like his. What it’s doing to me? Lets see, it has me making small sounds, which is involuntary. Another is it feels to damn good. Should I tell him? I’m almost not able to talk. I guess I didn’t talk for long enough cause he stopped biting the back of my neck. He set me down so I was standing then turned me to face him. He grinned, “You’re red.” He said. Darn it, I felt the blush creep up my face more and I moved my head just enough for my hair to cover most of my face. Practice makes perfect.
“So?” I said as I looked at him through my hair.
He pushed my hair behind my ears and looked down at me, “Did I over step my boundaries?” He asked in a voice that was so low it made my breath catch again and I felt it rumble in my chest. I let out a slow breath now, what is wrong with me?
“No.. It’s just..” I couldn’t really even talk straight. My voice was shaking. He looked at me and cupped my face in his hands. A worried expression turning to concern covering his face.
“Just what? Is something wrong?” There it is again, that low voice and that question. Was there something wrong? Yes, I just lost my father and only had a Grandmother left. I also didn’t know him that well..
What is it that wolves do with in a pack? They have an Organized Society. Alpha is the top, Beta is the second in Command, the ones that help the Alpha’s. The third is the Omega, the last, the one that brings up the rear. But, this doesn’t feel like a real wolf pack.
Logan shook me slightly, “Stop frowning, what were you goanna say?” He asked as he sat us back onto the bed.
“I was just thinking of my father…Also, what type of Pack system is this? Like is it real wolf society? Alpha, Beta and Omega?” I was dead interested in the Society now. The sudden change was to fast for Logan and he was caught off guard. He hunched his shoulders and must have been thinking hard because it looked like he was going to give himself a head ache.
“Well.. Umm.. Roland isn’t just Alpha, he is Amaroq, the calm leader. Our second is me, I’m not called a Beta though. I’m called, Nero. The one who holds the Pack in check when our leader isn’t here. Ray is our Third. No, he isn’t an Omega at all either.” I was intent on listening to him that I was curled up in the bed, staring at him. He just smiled and continued, “Ray is the Dengeki, He helps me and is some one who handles Rouges. He takes care of the bad members of the Pack as well. Nick though, he is the fourth, more like a subordinate. He is Kóme, he takes care of watching some of the new ones that come to the pack.” He took a deep breath and let it out. “Okay, that is most of it, well all the hard stuff.” He laughed slightly and I smiled.
“I see, I like the name System.” I sat up, “So your Nero. That’s interesting.” I watched him and he grinned. “Since Nick takes care of the ‘new’ pack members, does he take care of me?” I grinned and he frowned. I smiled more to being able to stump him.
“No, I was told by Roland I get to walk you through everything.” His grin returned as he spoke. My stomach growled suddenly and I blushed as I put my hands over my stomach and laughed nervously. “I see your Hungry, come on. We’ll go to the Kitchen.” He stood up and I did the same. We both walked out of his room, me trailing behind.
Walking down the hall we first walked and back into the area were the front door was. Now that it was light outside and windows I hadn’t noticed, filled the room with a soft glow. I glanced to the floor to find it was stained wood, nice. Logan was getting farther away when I looked up so I jogged to catch up to him, he chuckled. He walked forward a bit more then was suddenly going down and I realized it was stairs.
I felt more playful so I jumped onto his back and his whole body tensed. I smiled as I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He stopped on the stairs and looked back at me. I didn’t care for the look he gave me, I just smiled and I could tell my eyes were full of mischief and he grinned. His body un-tensed as he continued down the stairs.
When we cleared the stairs we were standing in a huge dining hall. I mean, it was massive, could hold 3 busses, side by side.
“I still think Roland over did it on this room.” He laughed.
“No kidding.” I said and laughed with him. He walked through a door with me still clung to his back then set me down on a counter and I watched him. “So what is there to eat?” Even though I had an Idea.
“Well, we can eat anything.” He smiled then opened the fridge. The first thing I saw was a crap load of apples and that’s what came out of my mouth.
“Apple! I want an apple!” I sounded childish so I blushed from embarrassment. He just laughed, I think he got a bigger kick out of it then I did. Bad Logan, no laughing at the innocence. He tossed an apple at me, catching me off guard and I yelped then caught it. Logan coughed and knelt in front of the fridge. “Not funny, Logan!” I said as I held the apple. He looked at me and I could see that humor filled his face, it made him look young. I wondered how old he was. “Logan?” I asked softly.
I caught him off guard, “Yeah?” He asked with a look that showed he thought something was wrong.
I watched him, “How old are you?” I couldn’t help but grin now.
“Okay, better then what I thought you were goanna ask.” He went back to digging in the fridge. He was ignoring me. He pulled back from the fridge holding, a chunk of what looked like pepperoni. He set it on the counter next to me and looked at me. Had I hit a sore spot? His age?
“You don’t have to tell me.”
“No, it’s not that, makes me wonder why you asked.”
“I saw humor fill your face and you looked young. Young like 20 or my age.” I said, truthfully.
He smiled slightly, “Your age? I don’t even know how old you are.” Damn, I never told him.
I took a deep breath, “I’m twenty-two.” He blinked then looked from my feet up. That was an odd way to look at some one.
“Okay, You fit the age.” Fit? What the hell did that mean? He grinned, “So I looked young? Are you implying that I’m old?” I blushed, I didn’t mean it like that. So I told him.
“No.. Not what I meant, you know that.” I said, he grinned more.
“Yes. I’m twenty-five.” Twenty-five? He didn’t look it, I would of said twenty-three. I smiled and looked at him then bit into the apple.
“Okay, I want peanut butter to.” Logan made a face and I laughed. “What? Never had apples and peanut butter?” He shook his head then reached up into a cabinet and grabbed a jar. He handed it to me. “I need a knife to, silly.” He laughed slightly and handed me a knife. I cut a piece of the apple off then scooped the peanut butter out and put it on the apple. I ate that and he made another face. I almost choked from laughing.
“I don’t understand how that tastes good.” He said as I ate another piece. He ate a chunk of pepperoni as he watched me finish the apple and peanut butter.
“It’s filling and tastes fine.” I smiled as I put the peanut butter where he grabbed it from.
Roland walked in, my eyes darting to his strong figure. He then gave us a closed lip smile. “She eats. I hope you don’t mind the shorts. There Sandra’s, she is about your size.” I shrugged.
“They fit fine, I wonder who put them on me though.” I looked at Logan and he smiled wide. Roland laughed which brought my attention back to him and his captivating voice.
“Logan did, as you can guess. He has taken a liking to you, Amara.” Logan’s face flushed, was he blushing? I looked back at him and he turned away. I pat the top of his head and he looked back at me. “Don’t be shy, so I heard Anton was bugging you. Wanting to bond with her I take it?” He asked.
“Yes, sir. He wanted to, I quote him. ‘I want to snuggle into her and make her mine.’ un quote.” Roland made a disgruntled face.
“You are already popular, Amara. So I suggest staying close to Logan for awhile.” Staying close?
“Why does every one want me, Roland?” I asked in a voice that was to high for it’s own good. Logan looked at me and his eyes turned yellow. It’s still awkward to look at his eyes when they do that.
“Because my Mate wanted you. Who she wants they want.” He sighed. “Just, don’t let anyone touch you but Logan, Ray, Nick and myself. We’re the trust worthy ones.” I nodded and hugged my knees to my chest.
Logan stood straight up instead of leaning into the counter, “Sir, I would like to take her out back.” Roland nodded and watched me as Logan set me on the floor and we walked back through those doors and up the stairs.
“He isn’t Social is he?”
“No, he isn’t that Social, wait till you get to know him better.” I wanted him to say more, but he didn’t. So I let it go and we headed to the front door.
Logan walked along the porch me behind him once again. I looked past him to see Ray stretched out in two chairs. He moved his sunglass to look at us then sat up in one chair and smiled. He tipped his head in a dog like fashion then reclined back in the chairs.
“You actually have on more then a T-shirt, yet.. No Bra.” Gees. He spoke in a voice that sounded lazy. But that one comment made me blush and Logan give a throated laugh. It’s sad to be the only girl around guys. Ray had a smug look on his face as he held a hand out to me. I would be damned if I took his hand so I slapped it and he laughed.
“Careful Ray, Don’t make her mad.”
“Yeah, careful Ray.” I stretched his name out and he looked cautious now. I only smiled down at him and sat in the chair across from him. Logan took the chair next to him and his buddy sat up so I wouldn’t be near his feet.
“Damn girl, you smell like you’ll try to do something.”
“She would, she already pushed me into a tub then tried to drop me on the way down the stairs to the Kitchen.” That made me grin and Ray took his sunglasses off. I saw his eyes and they were a bright brown. A nice smooth color that matched his shoulder length brown hair that was curled at the tips. He looked like he could have been all curly if his hair wasn’t that long.
“That grin..” He paused, “What do I expect you to do to me?”
I only grinned more, “The un-expectable.” Is what I said to him. Logan coughed trying to hide a laugh then slouched in the chair. Ray shrank back into his. Nice to know you can make a guy worried, when he is sooo much bigger then yourself.
“I was wonderin,” Logan stretched. “Would you like to walk out in the woods with us, Ray?” He gave a bit of a pout to his lips as he asked. Ray looked at him then at me.
“Us? Sure, why not, but hell if I’m droppin my guard around her.” It made me and Logan both laugh and Ray frown. Logan stood up with a grace that made me gawk. He looked down at me with an arched eyebrow and I looked away as I stood up. Ray joined us last.
Logan started to walk and Ray followed him with me at the Rear. Just looking at there backs and the muscle move under them made me happy I stayed in the back. I graced a look down to there buttocks and I grinned more. They both had asses that fit there pants nice and snug. I hate pants that show no one has a butt. It didn’t seem, pleasant.
Logan dropped down and kept walking but along the side of the house. Ray jumped down but before he could look back I had launched myself at him, taking us both to the ground. He said, “s**t!” With meaning as he hit the ground on his back with me riding him all the way down, grinning. Logan had watched the whole thing. I had a feeling he knew I was up to something.
“You sooo let your guard down, Ray.” I said as he looked up at me with his light brown eyes. His hair was spilled around him as he went to sit up but then froze. My hair moving to form a slight curtain around us.
“You’re right, I did.” He looked at me, “What are you thinking?” He asked.
“The un-expectable.”
“Amara, are we going to do this walk or not?” This from, Logan. I looked at him then jumped to my feet, leaving the big man to help himself up. Yeah, it seemed mean to just leave Ray on the ground and go to Logan. I was caught off guard by being suddenly air born. I screamed, I knew who it was, Ray had grabbed me around the waist then launched me into the air. The scream wasn’t one of fright, it was a girlish scream showing my amusement.
I was coming down now and I was in a wash of my black hair. Then I was caught and I clung. I was so not being heaved into the air like a rag doll again. Ray was laughing, who caught me? Logan had. I looked up into his face and he set me down.
“I pushed him out of the way so I could catch you. I figured if he caught you, he would of sent you into the air again.”
“Damn straight I would. I’m still going to think of a way to get her back for dropping me to the ground then leaving me.” He was smiling so much I could see his teeth. I stared, I couldn’t help it, I only saw glimpses of his teeth when he talked, but I saw fangs. All his teeth had small points on them. “I see you saw my teeth, oh well. I’m not telling you how I got them.” He watched Logan. “Are we walkin or goofin?”
“Walkin,” Logan said then started to walk and I stayed on the opposite side of him from Ray.
The woods were lush and full. It was also very, very old. Walking through the forest made me want to explore it more. I walked past Logan and jumped onto a fallen log. Beyond that I could see more fallen trees but covered in a small layer of moss. I took a deep breath then leapt to the log below the one I was standing on. I crouched on that log and watched as a small mouse ran to cover.
I dropped from that log to a small trench and looked under all the fallen logs. It was all sorts of greens out here in the forest. Dark, light, bright. It brought a smile to my face as I scrambled back up the incline and onto another log. I totally forgot about Logan and Ray as I walked along that log.
