Chapter Eighteen

Vivianna

Luke wrapped me in a tight hug as I approached the horses. “How are you holding up?”

I laughed, rolling my eyes. “You mean since finding out people could turn into giant jaguars and wolves, or seeing my friend being kidnapped by one, or the revelation that the one guy I’ve ever really loved is a werewolf?”

He stepped back, shrugging his broad shoulders. “Good thing you’re tough.”

I nodded, wiping my nose. “Yeah. I’m not sure anyone is tough enough for all this.”

“Hi, Vivi.” Lana came toward us with an adorable toddler on each side. “I couldn’t help but overhear.” She glanced at Luke then back to me. “Some of our older Pack members like to say that Fate chooses a wolf’s mate, and even though we sometimes think there’s no way it could work out, Fate seems to know better. You wouldn’t be Logan’s mate if you weren’t strong enough for this world.”

I raised a brow. “You believe that?”

“With all my heart.” Her lips curved into a barely-there smile. “Every new woman who has come to this Pack has contributed something, and we’re more formidable than before. I have no doubt the same will be true for you, once you accept it.”

“Accept it? I’m not sure what you mean.” I crossed my arms around my middle.

“Luke, can you take the rug rats so we can talk?”

Her daughter tugged Lana’s hand. “We’re not rug rats, Mama.”

Her little boy joined in. “Yeah, I’m a wolf, not a rat.”

She grinned and kissed each cheek. “Be good for Luke.”

He swooped the girl up onto his shoulders and grabbed the boy’s hand. They wandered farther down the barn, and Lana walked me over to the tack room.

“Have a seat.” I sat in one of the canvas director’s chairs, and she took the one beside me. “I’m sure you’re worried about your friend, not to mention on mental overload after finding out there are things in this world that we can’t explain.”

“Yeah.” I nodded, staring at the saddle racks. “But after the carnage in the coffee shop, maybe the world needs to know so people can be safe.”

“What you saw was a mistake born of desperation.” She shook her head. “No shifters—not werewolves, not Nero, nor any others out there we haven’t crossed paths with yet—would ever want our existence to be exposed. As journalists, you and I understand better than most what happens when people are afraid. We’d be studied, monitored, and eventually hunted. All in the name of safety.”

My gaze wandered to the house. Logan had thousands of fans, maybe hundreds of thousands. What if they turned on him? Even with heightened senses and extra strength, he couldn’t beat the bullet from a terrified gunman.

I ground my teeth, my stomach tied in knots at the thought of anyone hurting him. Maybe there was more to this mate thing than I wanted to admit.

“So how do you handle all this?”

Lana chuckled, shaking her head. “I wish there was a simple answer. Sometimes I sing ‘just keep swimming’ with the twins.
