Chapter 7 Rejection
Logan POV
I wanted to reject her on the spot.
But when I saw her standing there on the stairs, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t say those words.
I saw that she was happy when she looked at me. She wanted to go to me. But she saw my cold stare and she stopped herself.
Goddess, she is beautiful. I always thought that she was pretty and hot, but now that she is my mate, she is even more beautiful than before. She smelled like strawberries and watermelon. Her long brown hair was falling freely down her back and her blue eyes were an ocean I want to swim in. Her lips were perfect. Her small body was perfect. Every curve was made for me. I just wanted to touch her.
I clenched my fists to stop myself. I shut Leon out completely because he would kill me for what I was about to do. He was so happy when we smelled her. I don’t want him to see this. I will deal with him later.
I was relieved when Andrew told her to go upstairs. I will be able to think clearly now that she is not here.
I could tell Andrew was not happy with my explanation. But he knows I am right. He knows that the pack always comes first. And his sister is a child. She just shifted today. She can’t control her wolf properly and she can’t fight in wolf form. The rogues would use her against me, and that would ruin the pack. I needed a strong Luna. Sienna would be a great Luna. She is strong and kind. Our pack would benefit from having her as a Luna.
“Andrew.” I called him after he didn’t respond.
“Fuck.” he muttered. “You are right. Sienna is strong and she would be a great Luna. But that doesn’t mean my sister couldn’t get stronger.”
“It doesn’t.” I agreed. “But we don’t have the time to train her, to make her stronger. Rogues would use her as a liability against me, and the pack would suffer. You know I am right.”
He nodded and ran his hand through his hair.
“Do you want to tell her now?” he asked me.
I nodded. “Yes. It doesn’t make sense to wait.”
“Fine.” he said. “I will go get her.”
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. I couldn’t get distracted by the bond. By her. I needed to do this, for my father and for my pack.
It will not sever the bond. Nothing does. I will still feel her, she will still be my mate, but I will be free to make Sienna my Luna.
“Fuck!” I heard Andrew yell and I immediately ran upstairs.
Her smell was so intoxicating up here. I couldn’t help but to breathe it in deeply.
“What happened?” I asked Andrew.
He left her room, but she wasn’t with him.
“She left.” he growled.
I froze and my heart started beating painfully. She left. She probably heard us and left. What if something happened to her? I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t live without her.
‘Leon?’ I called my wolf. ‘Can you feel our mate’s wolf? Is she okay?’
‘No.’ He growled at me. ‘Her wolf is in pain. She retracted far back in mate’s mind. I can’t feel her.’
Fuck.
‘You are a complete fucker, Logan.’ Leon growled. ‘Mate is perfect and strong. You will be sorry for what you did.’
I didn’t respond, and I pushed him to the back of my mind. I didn’t need that now. He is an animal. He reacts purely on instinct. And his instinct is to get his mate. I have to be the one to think rationally and think about our pack.
Andrew ran past me and went downstairs. He grabbed his jacket and ran through the front door. I followed him in a daze.
“Come on, Logan.” he growled. “Follow her scent. Where did she go?”
I focused on him and did what he told me to do. Her scent was the strongest underneath her bedroom window, and it continued toward the forest.
“Shit.” Andrew muttered.
We hurried towards the forest, and I told him where to go based on the intensity of her scent. It wasn’t hard to follow her, so it couldn’t be long since she walked this path.
