Chapter 22

It felt strange lying in a soft bed, secure within his own home, after such a disturbing and world-changing day.

But his mate was curled up at his side, making slow circles with one finger around his nipple, and Logan was content.

“What do you think they’ll start with tomorrow?”

Logan shrugged one shoulder. “Rebuilding, I’d guess,” he said softly, pulling her closer in beside him. “People’s homes were destroyed, their lives shattered. Getting some of those structures back up could help a few people settle back into normalcy.”

Abby just made a small sound against his side but didn’t reply. Logan looked down at her, tracing her face with his fingers. “Where do you think we should start?”

She was quiet for a long moment. “I don’t know,” she said softly. “I’ve never been in a situation like this where so much was destroyed and lost.”

Gathering her into his arms, he laid his chin atop her head, taking a moment of his own to breathe in her sweet scent. Having her at his side calmed the anger and helplessness raging inside of him. It was easier to focus on that than to dwell on the day and everything he’d lost. So he held her close, focusing on the softness of her body against his and letting everything else about the day fall to the wayside.

After a moment, she stirred in his arms, turning her face to look up at him. “When will I know what kind of animal I’ll become?”

Logan considered her for a moment, counting back the days. “It usually takes about two weeks for everything to fall into place, so probably any day now.” He moved, sliding one leg between hers to bring her closer. Heat automatically fired through his groin, but for right then at least it wasn’t sex that was on his mind. “Have you felt anything in your mind, like another presence itching to get free?”

Abby frowned, deep. “Maybe? I’m not sure what I’d be trying to find.”

“Everyone’s connection to their animal is a little different. For me, it’s like an old friend, one that I can talk to and even sometimes argue with. A stubborn voice in your head that seems separate from the rest of your thoughts.” He paused to see if she’d understood, but she still seemed blank. “Okay, tell me: what do you want to do to me right now?”

The sassy smile Abby gave him got him hard within seconds, but then her eyes widened in surprise. “Okay, that’s weird.”

“What is?”

She laughed. “A part of me wants to jump your bones, while another part is… Do we have any milk?”

“Should be some in the refrigerator. Power’s out, but it should still be good for a little while longer.” Reluctantly, he released her, nudging her toward the bedroom door. “Go on, humor it and see what happens.”

Abby gave him an incredulous look but got out of bed, moving quietly across the floor. He listened as she padded into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and pulled out the milk, then smiled into the silence.
