Chapter 13

Cool, nighttime wind caressed my cheeks when we stepped through the double doors of the healing center to the outside. Logan’s friends seemed intent on not letting a moment of silence pass. If one wasn’t asking me what I thought of the headquarters, then the others were relaying stories of missions they’d gone on and near-death experiences they’d dodged.

Some of their tales kept my attention, which I supposed was the entire reason they were telling them.

But every now and then, one of them would glance anxiously at Logan.

Logan still walked ahead of us, and he still refused to talk. His broad shoulders blocked my view of the barracks, and stiffness that hadn’t been there earlier marred his gait. Even the beautiful night sky and the peaceful calm of the outdoors didn’t lighten the mood.

“This is us,” Brodie said a moment later, giving Logan another anxious side-eye.

We’d reached the barracks, and Brodie waved at the first door into the building. Similar to dorm buildings at colleges, the barracks looked like an apartment complex. They each stood three stories high and were dotted with windows, the brick exterior contrasting with the concrete buildings behind us.

Brodie reached for the door handle. “You two … uh … turning in for the night too?”

Logan nodded curtly.

I cocked my head. “So you’re not going to the bars tonight, Brodie?”

Brodie raised a blond eyebrow. “That’s where I’d be right now if you hadn’t tried to kill somebody.” As soon as he uttered the joke, he gave Logan another anxious look, but Logan’s attention was focused on something in the distance, as if he wasn’t even listening to us.

I offered a genuine smile. “Sorry to ruin your plans.”

Brodie’s shoulders relaxed a little before he winked. “Don’t be. This was more exciting, anyway.” He dipped his head before he turned and strolled inside.

“Goodnight, Daria. See you tomorrow.” Jake handed over my bags, which he’d insisted on carrying the entire way, before giving Logan a wide berth.

Alexander pushed his glasses up his nose but also kept a few feet of distance between himself and my boyfriend. “Night.”

After the three of them disappeared, Logan finally waved to the other end of the barracks, coming out of whatever trance he’d been in. “I live down there.”

“You don’t live with those three?”

He shook his head. “Dominant wolves get their own living space.”

Why am I not surprised?

We resumed walking, and the silence stretched between us. All that did was remind me that I was still getting to know Logan. He’d never mentioned before that he was dominant over his friends, and I still didn’t really know who Crystal was, other than someone from back home.

I frowned. Although, it seemed pretty obvious Crystal was his ex—an ex who still had it bad for him. Since everyone kept mentioning her, I wondered if their breakup was fresh, or if they’d been really serious at one point. And given the text I saw from her the previous month—the text in which she’d stated that she missed him and wondered when he could call—I had a feeling she wanted to get back together with him.
