Chapter 8

Finally loaded into the limo, I settled against Logan before asking, “Alright Ali, you gotta fill me on how that works.”

She smiled at me wearily. “It’s a pretty light show, but it drains.”

“She also has to have the offending party stay still and make eye contact while she is saying the incantation,” Grant added.

Ali nodded, her head lolling. I patted her knee. “Good job guys, get some rest.”

“Rest?” Hudson asked from my other side. “I’m starving.”

I smiled, “Me, too.”

“Just drop us off at the hotel, we’ll get room service,” Grant whispered, stroking Ali’s hair.

Logan nodded, relaying the change to the driver.

My head dipped swiftly and I caught myself blinking rapidly.

Logan’s fingers reached down to rest against the back of my neck, rubbing small circles.

“Please tell me we are getting pizza,” I groaned, checking if my neck had stopped bleeding.

“Just rest. I’ll wake you when we get there,” he whispered.

…

Logan shook me gently. “Food, Olivia.”

“FoodI’mup,” I slurred, pushing off his chest to fall off the seat.

“We might need to monitor her for a concussion,” Mark said thoughtfully. “I’ll check if Jerry has a potion for it.”

I nodded, rubbing sleep from my eyes before lumbering out of the limo. We didn’t have to wait for a table, and someone had apparently had the good sense to call ahead and order. Appetizers were coming out as we sat down. I snagged a piece of garlic bread, stuffing my face in bliss.

“I don’t like Sage,” I confessed as I swallowed my bread.

Logan raised his head, giving me a curious look.

Hudson and Alec chuckled. Hudson probed, “Are you certain it doesn’t have anything to do with her being female?”

It was my turn to tilt my head. “No, she was just asking lots of questions today.”

“And no one is allowed to ask you questions?” Hudson asked.

I narrowed my eyes. “What are you getting at?”

I trusted my instincts, they kept me alive. Too bad they hadn’t warned me what would happen with Logan. They thought the worst situation would be sleeping with him, ha. Now I was bound to him forever.

Alec cleared his throat, drawing my intent, domineering gaze away from Hudson. “What Hudson is trying to say is that you probably don’t like her because she is an alpha female around Logan.”

I tipped my head to the side. “So your rationale is that I don’t like her because she’s too close to my mate?” I asked, my irritation spiking.

I let it seep out into both of them. They fidgeted uneasily. Fun, I could now influence shifters without touching them.

“Listen and listen fucking well. My survival instincts have kept me alive. I do not like the questions Sage was asking me. If she suddenly grew a pair of useless balls and a dick, I’d have the same motherfucking opinion. You will not dismiss me because you think I’m jealous.” I spat the last word, my irritation moving up to full-fledged pissed the fuck off.

“If I wasn’t mated to Logan and I said that I didn’t trust Sage, would you have treated it differently?” I asked.
