Love Hurts

Chapter 21

Everyone just stares at me, shocked. Except for my mom and Kat who are both sobbing. Ariel growls. "We have to make him pay!" She is the first to speak. Dakota wraps an arm around her and pulls her against him to calm her. I nod. "I'm going to kill him." I growl lowly. I see Zach look at me surprised. "Never seen you like this brother." He states. I ignore him. I look to see Kendall walk back in with her parents. "Did you show them the other thing?" I ask. She shakes her head. "I thought it'd be easier to show them all at once." She admits. I nod slowly. She pulls her hair away and shows the giant bruise where he had tried marking her. Ariel growls and steps closer. "He tried to mark you?!" She asks her best friend. Kendall moves her hair back and nods slowly, staring at the ground. Ariel looks at me and frowns. "What about you? What did they do to you Logan?" She asks. I sigh and slowly I grab the shirt I'm wearing. I pull it up and over my head. Everyone gasps and I look up to see my mother and father staring at me with horror. I look down at my chest. I'm covered in slashes from Peter's whip. I turn and show them my back which has the worst and most recent cuts. More gasps. I turn and face everyone again. Kendall is staring at my body with sadness. I throw the shirt back on and stare at the floor. "Kendall and I are going to our rooms.." I say, looking at Kendall who quickly nods. "Alright, both of you get showers and clean clothes. We will burn those ones." My father says, nodding to me. I take Kendall's hand and lead her upstairs. "My room is across from yours..." She tells me. I nod and we walk up to the rooms. I stop between our rooms. "Go get a shower, take as long as you need ok? I'll keep my bedroom door unlocked incase you want to come in after." She just nods slowly. I watch her go into her room and close the door behind her. I slowly make my way into my room, closing the door but leaving it unlocked. I grab some clean clothes and walk into the bathroom. I turn the water on before slowly taking off my clothes. I stare at myself in the mirror. The cuts will more than likely leave scars since it was silver that cut me. I sigh and step into the cold water. I growl as the water runs down my body, touching my cuts and making them sting. I slowly wash my body, ignoring the stinging pain. I finish, then step out and dry off. I pull on my new shorts and shirt then walk out. I see Kendall laying on my bed. I look around and see a couple boxes and I look at the closet and see her clothes there. I smile and walk over to my mate. "Hey you moved your stuff in here." I say. She sits up and looks at me. "I don't think I'll be able to be alone anymore..." She tells me. I nod in understanding. I look at her clothes. She's wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt. "I'm gonna go do something. I think you should stay here and get some sleep." I tell her with a small smile. She just nods. I hug her before helping her with the blankets. I leave the room and make my way downstairs. Dakota sees me and follows me as I make my way to the dungeons. I follow Demetri's scent into his cell. I open the door and he looks up. He is chained in the middle of the cell with his arms spread out to both sides. He starts laughing. "You think this is funny?!" I snarl. I hear Zach walk in behind Dakota and I. Demetri keeps laughing. "I think it is. I broke her, didn't I." He doesn't say it as a question but as a statement. I snarl and punch him in the face. He spits up blood but continues laughing. "You won't be laughing when I kill you." I snarl in his face. He just smirks. I turn to my brothers. "Leave. I need to speak to him alone." I growl. They both step out of the room and close the door. "How far did you take it you bastard." I growl as I turn back to the man who raped my mate. He starts laughing again. "Has she not told you yet?" He asks. I frown and look at him, confused. "Tell me what?" I growl. He look up at me with a smirk and cold eyes. "Maybe you should ask her." He says. I glare at him then punch him straight in the chest. He gasps as the air is knocked out of him. "What'd you do to my mate?" I snarl loudly. Good thing these walls are soundproof. He continues laughing, making me even more mad. "If you don't tell me now I swear I will give you the most pain you've ever felt, you'll wish you were dead." I say in a dedly tone. He keeps laughing but looks up at me. "You haven't heard the second heartbeat? Of an unborn child?" My heart stops. I snarl and punch him, hard, knocking him out cold. I leave the cell, snarling in anger the whole time. "What happened?" Zach asks but I ignore him and walk up and out of the dungeons. I make my way up to my room where my mate slept. I walk in and quietly shut the door. I walk over and kneel down beside the bed. I listen to her soft heartbeat but then hear a second, smaller one. I frown and stand again. I throw myself onto my couch and lay my head in my hands.

Kill it! Our mate is not to hold a pup that doesn't belong to us!

Kai snarls in my mind. He had come back to me when we got home, making me relieved, but now he was going to argue with me about this.

Kai we can't just kill an unborn baby. That's cruel.

Logan I swear if you say we will let our mate keep that thing inside her... I'll never speak to you again.

I refuse to hurt my mate Kai. It's her choice not ours.

With that said I block him. I look over at Kendall's sleeping form. A werewolf pregnancy only lasts 5 months, instead of 9. This is because a wolf child grows faster than a human child. The pup would be able to walk and talk a year or less after it's birth. That's why most of us look to be 19 or 20 when we're actually 15 or 16. It's strange. I watch as my mate sleeps peacefully and I think of what to say when she wakes.
