OLIVIA


    I hurried home and ran to my room and bathroom before turning on the water. Stepping in under


    the shower, I can no longer stop the tears from escaping my eyes. I get mad at myself. I am not this


    girl. I decide to let it go and go on as ifst night had not happened.


    As I get dressed, I feel a mindlink. Thinking that it is dad, I open it.


    “Liv?’ I go quiet when I realize it is Logan, not my dad.


    “Alpha.’ I answer.


    “Liv, nothing is going on with Sandra. She just." I don''t let him finish.


    “Alpha, what and who you do it with is none of my business. You already had a mate. No one will


    judge you. You can be with who and how many you want to. But I am not that kind of girl, and I


    don''t want to just be one between others. I wille by tomorrow and see if you still want help


    with nning Rose''s birthday.’ I tell him.


    "You are not one between many, Liv. Will you at least listen to what I say?" He asks.


    “Did you still want help with the nning?’ I ask, not answering, and it goes quiet for a while.


    Yes, I would like that." He finally answers.


    “Okay. See you tomorrow then.’ I answer and then close the mindlink.


    I begin to cry again. I had not realized how much he had found his way into my head and my heart.


    Iy in my bed for a while when my phone tells me I have an iing call, and I see Anna''s name


    on the screen.


    “Hey,” I say when I answer the call.


    “Jason is driving me into town. Do you want toe? You mentioned the other day you wanted to


    get Rose a birthday present.” Anne asks.


    “Sure, that would be nice,” I say.


    "Awesome. I need to meet some ssmates fast, but Jason will be there. Meet us by the packhouse.


    Jason''s car is there today.”


    "Okay, see you soon,” I say, and the call ends.


    I get out of bed and look in my closet. I find a pair of skinny jeans and an off-shoulder shirt with 3%


    sleeves. And then my sneakers. I let my hair hang freely today. Then I grab my phone and wallet and


    leave the house. It doesn''t take me long to reach the packhouse, and I see them standing next to a


    silver Porsche.


    “Hey,” Anna squeals, and Iugh.


    "Hey Liv, awesome you want to join us,” Jason says and smiles.


    "Hey, yeah. Thank you for letting mee with you. Just need to let my dad know.” I say, smiling.


    Just then, the door to the packhouse opens, and dades out together with Logan. They see us,


    and I walk over.


    "Hey Alpha, hey dad, I am going into town with Anna and Jason. I need to get some things.


    Anything we need at home?” I ask. I am fighting myself not to look at Logan.


    “No, we have everything thanks to Alpha Logan,” Dad says, and I nod. Just as I am about to speak, I


    hear Sandra


    "Hey, Alpha, are you free now?” I can''t stop myself from looking, and just as I thought, I regret it


    when I see her hand on his arm.


    "We are going. I don''t think we will be back for dinner. Anna has a small meeting with some from


    her school, so Jason and I will wait for her. I say. I don’t miss the small growl that Loganes with,


    but I don''t look.


    “We eat here tonight, so if you make it back, just find us here,” Dad says, and I agree and Leave


    before I cry again.


    LOGAN


    Fuck.


    Liv took what happened earlierpletely wrong. Sandra caught me off guard when she jumped at


    me, and I automatically held on to her. I know it looked wrong, way too wrong, and mow, she


    refused to even look at me.


    I had hoped to spend a little time with her after lunch. But left the training quickly, and when I


    mindlinked her, shepletely blew me off. On the bright side, she will be here tomorrow, so


    hopefully, she will let me exin.


    I had a meeting with us and Luca, and both knew about Liv being my mate. I chose to tell them


    we were getting closer. And I wanted their help making sure that packmembers would not begin


    talking behind her back. After the meeting, Luca left, and I had a private conversation with my future


    father-inw. I wanted to know her better so that I could better get her to open up and trust me.


    After the meeting, I followed him outside, and I had to hold back a growl. She was here outside,


    standing next to Anna and Jason, next to his car. When she saw use out, she ran over here,


    greeting us, without looking at me. Then she told her dad she was going to town with Anna and


    Jason. She said Anna had to meet some ssmates, but she and Jason would wait for her. The


    thought of her spending time alone with Jason made me want to growl. I tried to stop it but failed.


    I couldn''t keep my eyes off of her, she looked amazing in those tight skinny, ripped jeans, and her


    shirt both hugged her body and showed off her delicious curves. I still have the mental pictures of


    her naked body that I had seen and touched. So I knew exactly how fucking beautiful and sexy it is.


    Then fucking, Sandra had toe to make things worse. By talking as if I have ns with her. I see


    Liv get into the car, and they drive off. I turn, walking inside.


    "Alpha? Did you wantpany?” Sandra''s annoying voice sounded. It got too much, and I snapped,


    feeling Titan take control.


    “No, I do not fucking want YOURpany. I am saying this for the LAST time. I do not want you,


    Sandra. So stay the hell away from me, don’te near me unless it has something to do with the


    pack. Understood? Keep crossing the line, and I will fucking banish you.” I growled. Not caring that a


    lot of packmembers witnessed this. She whimpers and hurries away from the embarrassment.


    “Get back to your own business,” I order and walk up the stairs, not stopping before I am inside my


    gym. Needing to work some anger off.
