Serpent Wolves (Sequel to The Serpent wolf)

14.

A week pass, we're still plan-less, still stressed and still far from a victory or at least a happy medium.

"So, what? You're just going to go and try to talk to her? Babe last time you saw her she shot you." Sweet-Pea asks me, we'd been lying in bed talk about what to do about Gladys.

"Well technically she shot Betty, I just got in the way." I say.

"I don't want you to, Logan." Sweet-Pea sighs, tapping his fingers on my bare skin nervously.

"Pea, we're plan-less and so long as you and Betty hang around you're in danger-"

"Logan, YOU'RE in danger. Gladys wants you dead. She's planning something, and I know it. It's been a week. She knows where you live, where you go, what you do, and she hasn't struck. Something's not right." Sweet-Pea says, his heart beating faster. I lean up and kiss him.

"It's going to be okay, babe. We're going to get through this." I say.

He goes to respond when my phone rings, making us both jump.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Logan? It's FP. Listen, Gladys just came around here, she told me you were dangerous and that I needed to get Jughead away from you. Obviously, I told her she was being ridiculous and SHE told me you were a werewolf. I tried laughing at her and denying it but she told me if I didn't save Jughead she would." FP says, by now I'm sit completely upright.

"Shit, do you know where she's headed? If she's coming here?" I ask.

"I don't know. She just said 'you'll see the truth' and that she was going to save us all." FP says.

"Thanks for the heads up, FP." I say.

"Please stay safe Logan." FP says.

"I always do." I say.

I hang up, getting out of bed and quickly getting dressed and throwing my hair in a pony tail.

"What's happening?" Sweet-Pea asks.

"JUGHEAD GET IN HERE." I yell, Sweet-Pea's still confused.

"What do you want? I get you're pleased you got revenge on me for all those times with Betty, but you could at least let me sleep in- wait, what's going on?" Jug asks, drowsily entering my room.

"Your dad called me. Your mom is up to something." I say.

"What do you mean?" Jug asks.

"She went to your dads this morning and told him I was a werewolf. And to get you away from me." I say.

"What do we do?" Jughead asks.

"Well first we need to get Betty." I say.

"She hasn't spoken to me or answered my calls since I dropped her off yesterday." Jug says.

"That's... odd." I say.

"I'll go around to her house." Jug says.

"Where do you think your moms headed?" I ask.

"She's telling the people closest to you that you're a werewolf, Logan. I think she's trying to isolate you, so she can kill you." Jug says sadly.

"If Gladys wants a war, we'll give her one." I say.

"You two stay put, I'll be back soon." Jug says.

Jughead leaves to get Betty, and I sit on the side of my bed, Sweet-Pea leans over and rubs my back.
