LOGAN


    The day had finallye to an end after again being on the phone most of the day. I knew Olivia


    had taken Rose out to visit her grandparents, and she had mindlinked when they were back.


    When she told me she was getting a very tired Rose to bed, I let her know to meet me at my


    personal gym. After wrapping up onest call, I went up to my room to change into a pair of


    sweatpants and a T-shirt before I walked into my gym.


    I froze when I entered. I knew she would be there, but. One I had not expected her to bring dressed


    in only a tiny pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Two, when I entered, she was deeply


    concentrated on working out the punching bag. I couldn''t help but stop and admire how easily she


    went from on a series of hits to put in a kick here and there, both knee and feet. And it did not slip


    my attention how her body moved as she was moving.


    Fuck, I muttered to myself when I realized she had air pods in her ears, so she could not hear me.


    Then she made a move that made her turn around, and she saw me standing here looking at her.


    She stopped and took out her air pods, and I smiled, trying to push every other thought away right


    now.


    “You have some very fluent moves when you fight. It is impressive,” I tell her, making her blush a


    little.


    “Thank you. I had a good trainer.” She answers, and I smile. She is right, though. Her dad was


    phenomenal, and he had actually made me sweat a little at our friendly fight yesterday.


    “I agree your father is amazing, but you would have to have some talent to be so advanced or really


    dedicated,” I tell her.


    "He wanted me to be able to protect myself. Unlike my mom, who was more of a party nner than


    a fighter. She hated to fight.” She tells me, and I nod my head.


    “Well, no matter who or how it is easy to see you are a great fighter. I don''t think I can teach you a


    lot of new stuff. But I will be more than happy to improve whatever you feel needs improvement.” I


    tell her and smile.


    “Thank you. Given my situation and the reason we moved here, I want to have a better chance of


    keeping myself safe.” She says seriously.


    “I can understand what you mean. But I do hope you know that you are safe here.” I tell her just as


    seriously, and she nods her head. I walk onto the mat and look at her.


    “let''s spar,” I say, and shees to join me.


    The following 45 minutes go with hitting and kicking at each other. I winch inside a few times. When


    I could see on her face, I hit too hard. I never want to hurt her. But she never as much as gave a cry


    of pain.


    I grab onto her locking her in my arms with her back against me, and she struggles for a bit. Then


    she stills andughs.


    “I might be god. But not much I can do with an Alpha holding me like this. You''re just too strong.”


    Sheughs again. I chuckle and loosen my hold on her, only for her to drop to the ground before a


    round kick sweeps my legs away from under me. She had just not anticipated I would fall in her


    direction, but I was fast enough to block the fall with my hands so I didn''t fall on her.


    Holding myself up, I was hovering above her and crocked an eyebrow. I could have seriously hurt


    her. But at the same time, I can''t help but like the position we are in right now. Both of us were


    breathing hard.


    “Sorry, I didn''t think that one through.” She says, realizing she could have gotten hurt. I move and


    lay on the mat next to her.


    "Was a good move if only I hadn''t almost crushed you,” I say and smile.


    Wey here for a while talking. She told me what she had done together with Rose all day. And I


    could hear how much she enjoyed being with her, which made me happy.


    “Is it okay for me to ask something? you don''t have to answer it.” Little does she know she can ask


    me anything, and I will tell her.


    "Of course, you can,” I tell her, and I move to lie on my side, looking at her. God, she is beautiful.


    "What happened to Rose''s mom?” she asks. I had known she would ask at some point.


    "She left when Rose was a few months old,” I tell her.


    "What? Just like that?” She sits up, but I stay where I am, fighting the urge to pull her to me. I nod


    my head.


    “She said she didn''t want this life, being a mother or Luna. She chose to reject me, the family bond


    to Rose, and the link to our pack, then she left.” She looks at me.


    “I am sorry, but what the hell? She must be stupid to leave her baby and her mate.” She burst out.


    Then she looked apologetic.


    “I am sorry. I didn''t mean to insult your mate.” She says. And I chuckle darkly.


    “She is not my mate anymore. Don''t ever hide what you really want to say, Liv. I like your honesty.” I


    tell her. I was looking at her.


    Shey down again on the side facing me. None of us say anything for a long time. She yawns and


    thenughs.


    “I should get to bed.” She says, and I smile and jump to stand before reaching my hand down to


    pull her up.


    She stumbles when she goes up, and I hold on to her, which makes her stand close to me. My heart


    is beating fast. Some of her hair fell out of her ponytail, and I pushed it behind her ear. Feeling the


    sparks, I know she most likely doesn''t feel. But she blushes when I touch her, and I smile.


    “You are a beautiful girl Olivia. Whoever your mate is, he is a lucky guy,” I tell her. Not telling her I


    am that guy that feels lucky. She blushes.


    "Who knows, maybe he won''t like a mate as trained as me.” If only she knew, I would tell her how


    much it turns me on knowing she won''t just break. I look into her eyes and smile. Without noticing,


    we have both moved, so we stand close together.


    “If not, he is a fool,” I tell her, and she smiles. I can''t entirely stop myself, and I gently run my thumb


    over her lips, and she doesn''t stop me. I bend my head down. I was drawn in by her delicious scent


    and beautiful eyes.


    “A really big fool,” I whisper, then I capture her lips with mine, and she does not push me away.


    Instead, she holds onto my arms, and I ce my hands on her face, holding her gently as I feel and


    taste her sweet lips. I let my tongue run over them, and she gave me ess to taste her mouth and


    let my tongue y with hers.


    I know I need to stop, that I should stop. But when she doesn''t protest, Iy my hands on her waist


    and lift her up. She automatically wraps her legs around my waist, and I gently push her up against


    the wall. And I feel her handsing to my hair as we stand here kissing each other, tasting each


    other. As she raised her arms a little, her oversized t-shirt moved, so my hands were on the skin of


    her waist. She moaned a little, and then she pulled her head away and blushed heavily.


    “I... Uhm.” She whispers. I interrupt her and give her another kiss and smile.


    “I know, and I won''t push it. But I like you, Liv. You are a special girl.” I say, and she blushes again.


    “I... I like you too. You always make me feel good, and for some reason, it feels like you calm my


    wolf.” She whispers. I smile. But instead of answering, I kiss her again


    We stand here for a while before I leave the room and take her to my bedroom. I gently put her on


    my bed, hovering above her as I bend down and kiss her. God, I can’t get enough of her lips.


    “Alp. Uh, Logan. I, I need to go shower. I smell of sweat.” She stammers, and I chuckle before


    moving to be next to her.


    "Shower with me? Then sleep here next to me. I won''t do anything, I promise. One word, and I will


    do whatever you say.” I say, looking at her.
