Soul Mates

Still broken

Friday. August 30, 2019

*Logan's POV*

I've been trying really hard to give Mia some space but it's been four days. I tried immersing myself in pack business, there have been reports of rogues near our territory. I sent three scouting teams to search the areas where the rogues were supposedly spotted but if they were ever there, they were long gone.

Rogues are wolves without a pack. They have no allegiances and no loyalties. Not all rogues are bad, but most are disgusting animals. They're known for kidnapping unmated young females to fulfill their sexual needs. I will not tolerate any rogues in my territory.

I also found myself writing new songs. I haven't been this inspired in years. Cindy was excited to hear this. I still haven't told her, or anyone else in the pack that I found my mate. I want to wait until she bears my mark, which I'm confident will happen sooner rather than later.

Even with all of this work, Reagor is still restless. Every day he gets angrier at Mia and I am starting to get angry as well. What does she want from me? I apologized. I told her the truth and she didn't believe me. She's my mate, she should be able to tell I'm being honest. I opened up my heart and she stomped on it.

She's probably with Steven at this very moment. Is she sleeping with him? That's it! Enraged, I grab the keys to the Acura and drive off. The keys had shown up in my mailbox and the car in my garage on Tuesday.

I get to Mia's house and knock loudly on the door. Raegor is almost in control by now and I can smell Mia inside. AJ answers the door and I can feel the hate coming from him. I remind myself that this is my future stepson and try to push Raegor back.

This is the first time I pay attention to him. He's as tall as me, with his mother's beautiful green eyes and his hair is dark brown mixed with dark red. I hadn't noticed how much he looks like his mother until now. Even the hatred in his eyes towards me mirrors his mother's.

"I will only let you in because she ordered me to but know this, my mom has suffered a lot. Most of it at your hand and if you ever hurt her again, I WILL CHALLENGE YOU!" Then he pushed passed me, shifted into a dark brown wolf and ran off into the woods.

I should have been angry, but I was somewhat proud of his power. In a few years he'll be a force to be reckoned with. Besides, I couldn't fault him for protecting his mother and everything he said is true.

*Carolina's POV*

I listen as AJ threatens Logan and then runs off. I never meant for AJ to hate anyone. Jacob always tried to instill forgiveness and compassion into his heart. Jacob was the kindest person I've ever known, he even allowed rogues to stay near our territory as long as they behaved. AJ used to admire that and he was just like his father, until that same compassion got Jacob killed. 

I was in the shower when Logan's scent came in through the window. I ordered AJ to let him in and leave. I get out of the shower and dry as fast as I can, but I've barely managed to put on a robe when Logan barges into my room. I was expecting an apologetic Logan, but as I look into his bright amber eyes I realize this is angry Logan. Fucking A!

As he takes me all in, his eyes reflect a mixture of rage and lust that is very appealing to my wolf. Ignoring him, I walk to my closet and pull out a summer dress. "Do you mind?" I ask pointing at my robe. I expect him to turn around but he licks his lips, sits on the bed and says "Not at all."

Feeling uncharacteristically brazen, I turn to face the closet and drop the robe. In the same movement, I slip the summer dress on. Then I feel his arms around my waist as he stands behind me. I can tell my little taunt has messed with him, his body is telling me how much he wants me.

I can feel him smelling the top of my head, like when we were younger. It would be so easy to lose myself in his arms, to forget the past, to believe him and just be his mate. I allow myself three seconds of this bliss and then I step away from him.

He pulls me back, face to face this time, and growls at me. "Why do you fight this? We're destined for each other. Why won't you forgive me? I know I hurt you…" I push him with all my strength and he stumbles two steps back. "Hurt me? No, you didn't hurt me. YOU BROKE ME!"
