CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Vivian had left their mother’s old BMW sitting on the street with the driver’s side door open so Logan simply slid into the passenger seat as she raced around the front of the car and got in. His SUV was parked on a side street but it would be fine until he could return for it. He buckled his seatbelt as Vivian put the car in drive and practically peeled out.

He waited for his sister to say something, anything, but she was white-knuckling the steering wheel and breaking the speed limit so he figured now wasn’t the time. Clearly she was upset which made sense given the circumstances, but he’d hoped she would give him a little more information on their mother’s condition and their father’s location.

He found it odd that Vivian hadn’t said a word about the old man. She’d said she was looking for him. She’d said she came to find him when he hadn’t answered his phone. But she hadn’t said if their father was with their mom, if he was any worse now that his mate had taken a downturn, or if he even knew or cared.

When Vivian finally did speak, it wasn’t at all what he’d expected from her.

“I guess all the research I’ve been doing on breaking a mate bond is useless now.”

He blinked, “What? Why?”

“You’re really going to ask me that?” She shot him a sideways glance. “I saw you two, Logan. When I walked into that office you were both red-faced and practically glowing, not to mention the smell of sex in the air. Pretty sure there’s no breaking the bond now, big brother.”

“We didn’t…” He cleared his throat and his sister snorted. “The mate bond isn’t sealed yet.”

“You said yet.”

“Yeah.” His chest felt tight but he nodded. “I guess I did.”

“So I was right. I can stop searching for a way to break an unsealed bond.” Vivian sighed. “It would’ve been nice if you told me you weren’t interested in breaking it anymore. I spent days in the pack library reading dusty old books when I could have been getting reacquainted with our pack or spending time with Mom.”

The words inflicted the sting he knew she’d intended and he stared straight out the windshield, “I didn’t know, not for sure. Hell, I’m still not sure we can make it work. She still hates me for what I can’t tell her but the mating heat doesn't care about that.”

“Is it just the heat driving you or do you actually feel something for her?” Vivian asked quietly and Logan blew out a rough breath.

“I don’t know. I admire her for what she’s overcome, for her strength and resilience. She’s a fighter and she doesn’t back down from a challenge. She’s all fire and fury and it's sexy as hell.” He caught Vivian shooting him a glance with eyebrows near her hairline and cleared his throat. “It’s hard to know how much of that is the mating heat. Every time we’re in the same room we end up arguing and fighting and then…”

“Don’t finish that sentence.
