Alpha East: Contrition (Unedited Version)

Chapter 13. Truth Is (Unedited)

Logan

Goddess! He was in big, big trouble. Deducing that was the understatement of the decade, he tried not to shift uncomfortably in his chair.

Fuck it! He would just have to hold on and ride the rough tides coming his way. Letting her go was out of the question. He would sooner tie her to his bed and worship her from there. No escape for his precious Luna.

Stoic as always, his severe, serious expression not giving anything away. The discussion carried on without any of the men knowing his dire situation.

Letting his impatient beasts rule him, despite common sense yelling at him to stop, was no excuse. Indulging through the weekend had guaranteed the outcome his wolf had been aiming for.

Tied to him in all aspects. Had no clue her DNA was changing and she would only have two weeks to adjust to her new supernatural life. Plus, she may already be carrying his pup.

She is, human. His wolf's smug voice interrupted his musings. East blocked him again. Irritated with his constant mockery.

To be honest, he couldn't fault his beasts. They were as eager as him to start a family right away. But the coming days would not be easy. Nor pleasant. Wondering what he had to do to pave his to her good graces once she found out.

Still, Logan was over the moon with the happiness he felt.

A Luna, a mother to his heir and pack.

Deliberately omitted to tell her two important things, his mate would be thoroughly pissed no matter how enamored she was with him.

Talk about his big ego. Had yet to tell her he loved her. That she was his life. His heart and soul. He had to. And very soon. There would come a point where he could no longer contain his feelings for her.

Alpha East had vowed to himself that he would do everything in his power for his mate to forgive him. Be on his knees, worshipping her every night if he had to. Though it wouldn't be such a chore. He adored every part of her delectable body. Her sweet addictive taste and heady scent were embedded in him forever.  

What could Antonia be doing now? Closing the bond from her, he couldn't read her thoughts. But he could feel her joyfulness while she was working. No other man had made her feel like this. He made her happy. 

Logan felt like dancing. He was actually considering it if not for the presence of the leaders in the room.

Anxiousness was squeezing him hard. To top it off, he was having a bad day without her by his side. Newly marked and mated, it was too soon to be away from her.

His beasts though, in a protective mode, were clawing to be released. Not very keen with the distance and barriers their human had erected.

Especially now. Nevertheless, he was still cautious. Not wanting to rub his good fortune on the unmated alphas, his best friends, who had yet to find their mates.

After a lot of intense input and strategy, they decided to take a much-needed break. The meeting took almost half the office hours and he was becoming more restless.

If this had been a normal pack discussion, she should have been present. His Luna's input was very valuable to their people.

But no. This was a war council. Planning the next defensive attack took precedence. The last time the Royal Pack had been attacked, they were taken aback by the force they had dealt with.

The king had taken steps to ensure that would never happen again.

His mate had no idea what was happening around her. His fault entirely. Fuck! This was becoming a long rap sheet, his sins.
