Love Me For Who I Am

Chapter 26

Recap:

“Logan?!” I asked panicked as I crouched down to his level

He looked so lost as one hand clawed his chest and the other at his ear “Maisie it hurts” he howled

“What’s happening?! What can you hear” I cried

“My father…he’s dead”

Chapter 26

My breath caught as the words slipped out of Logan’s mouth. The chatter around me faded out as I fully focused on making sure my mate was going to be okay. Logan’s face was still scrunched up in pain as he clutched his chest.

I grabbed his hand that was over his heart. As I did this Logan seemed to relax a little “Everything is going to be okay” I whispered as I pulled him into a tight hug.

His arms wrapped around my body “It hurts Maisie” he whimpered into my ear

Tears spilled out of my eyes as he sounded like a lost little boy, my heart broke for him “Let’s get you out of here”

Logan let me pull him out the room, leaving the shocked class behind us, and led him to his car. “I’ll be back in a bit I’m going to tell the principal where we’re going” I gave him a quick peck on the lips and shut the door.

I rushed back into school and knocked hard on the principal’s door. “Come in!” sounded through the other side

I pushed the door open and walked into the room “Maisie? What can I do for you?” he smiled

“Sir, Logan just found out that his father has died so we’re going to leave” I said, my voice filled with sadness

He touched his chest slightly and nodded with understanding “I knew something didn’t feel right. It’s okay for you to leave. Give Logan my condolences” he gave a sympathetic smile

“Thank you sir”

I turned and hurried back to Logan who was sat in the car not moving at all. He jumped a little when I opened the driver door “Let me drive” I said softly

Logan nodded and slide out of the car. The drive home was filled with silence. I had no idea what to say to him as I’ve never lost a close family member before.

When we pulled up at the pack house there seemed to be an atmosphere of sadness. My brother ran out of the house when we stopped and pulled Logan into a ‘man hug’.

“I felt it man. I’m sorry” I heard Noah mumble

Logan gave a forced smile ‘Thanks. I just need to know what happened. Excuse me” he brushed past Noah and walked into the house

“Something don’t feel right Maisie” Noah frowned as we both watched Logan disappear

I nodded with understanding. I’ve kept quiet until now because I didn’t want to freak Logan out, but I know what he means. There is something twisted and wrong about Logan’s father’s death.

“What do you think has happened?” I asked in return

“I don’t know” he mumbled with his head down

I sighed and walked after Logan. I found him in his office, talking on the phone. I quickly walked over to him and sat on his lap when I saw the tears flowing down his face.

I hugged him as he continued to talk on the phone “What happened mom?” he asked as his voice broke

There was silence on the end of the line. No one spoke but the silence was deafening. “I’m not going to tell you on the phone. Why don’t you come to the palace?” I heard Logan’s mom say on the other end of the phone.
