Chapter 3

Logan's POV

I killed her. I know it was just a dream but still. Even in our dreams I must be the one to protect and love her.

My mate. I missed her so much. She made a huge impact on me from the first time I saw. It wasn't just a normal meeting between us. I was in trouble and she saved me. Even though I never got the chance to know her name, I owed her my life.

I couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes when Alexis told me. I felt my chest tighten and my heart felt like it's being stabbed over and over.

"Logan sweetie, are you okay?" I heard my mom ask as she put on of her hands on my shoulder. That brought me out of my daze.

"Yeah mom, I'm fine." I lied.

I wiped my wet face, stood up and made my way upstairs to my room.

I have to calm down or I would have a mental breakdown. The thought of her getting hurt in any way made my blood boil and to think that I was the one wh-

No, I would never. Plus it was only a dream, no big deal right?

I took a deep breath and decided to take a shower. Maybe it would help ease my thoughts. I ran the water, adjusting it to my liking and then stripped out of my clothes and went under the shower. I have a long day ahead of me today. It was New Year’s Eve and my pack and I were invited to spend it with the New moon pack. It will be our first time celebrating outside but, since they're our new alliances we want to maintain a good and friendly relationship and so, we agreed on going.

I finished my shower and went to dry myself. Wrapping a towel around my waist, I went to my room then into my large walk in closet. I picked a gray v-neck shirt and grabbed a pair of black jeans.

After dressing up I opened the door and went outside my room. I planned on going to my office and finish some of the paperwork I had when I heard my mom call out my name.

"Logan" I turned around to see her making her way down the long hallway towards me.

"Honey, are you okay?" She asked with concern filled eyes. 

I gave her a weak smile.

"Yeah mom I'm fine. It's just a dream, not like it was or will be real."

I heard her sight. "Yeah I know. Just don't let it get through to you okay."

"I sure will." I smiled widely this time and she returned it.

"Okay, I'll go see your father now. Oh! And don't forget we're going to the New moon pack tonight for New Year’s celebration. Be ready by 7:00."

"Okay"

She gave me one last smile then turned and made her way downstairs and I continued my way to my office.

The day passed by and I just couldn't stop thinking about that stupid dream. For some reason, as time passes the weird feeling in my gut seems to grow and I became worried. Maybe it's not a good idea to go? I have a feeling something will happen.

I looked at the clock hanging on my office's wall and saw it was half past six. Looks like I'll have to quickly go get ready. If I run late my mom would bit my head off.

I went to my room and looked for something to wear. It's not a formal gathering so I can't wear and suit. And since I'm alpha and stuff I can't just go with some shorts and a shirt. After some time I decided to keep my black pants on but changed into a white t-shirt and finally put on my black leather jacket. I put on my shoes and went downstairs where they all were waiting for me.

"Finally." I heard Blake, or was it Blain grumble. He and Blaine are my cousins. They came to the pack house last year for training since they turned 16 and it was about time for them to be able to fight for themselves.

"I heard that." I gave him an annoyed look.

"You were meant to." He replied back

I rolled my eyes at that but said nothing. I know I'm alpha and everything but, I didn't want them to feel that I'm ruling them. Well, technically I am but I'd like to keep a friendly environment in my pack not the master slave one. I cared for them all and in return they all care for me not as their alpha but mostly as their friend.

Looking at them all I saw that they were all dressed nicely. The girls wore beautiful dresses. My mom hand a long, red one with its back half open but had full sleeves. Its red color complementing her green eyes. She kept her brown shoulder length hair and wore a black diamond necklace with matching earrings. She looked stunning. Cole, Jake's mate had a short, mid thigh, pale pink dress. She had her blond braided and lying on one shoulder. She finally wore white flats, since she's pregnant Jake refrained her from wearing heels so she doesn't hurt her back. And finally, Alexis. As usual she had on a dark colored dress. I was dark purple with long sleeves. It reached mid thigh and had some black carvings at its flowy bottom. She topped it off with black boots that reached just below her knees and of course black tights under them. Overall, I was proud with our women. They never disappointed us or made us ashamed.

We all went to our cars and drove off. My parents and I in a car, Jake, my beta, his mate Cole and Alexis in one, Taylor, my third in command and the twins in one, while the rest of the pack members, each family took its own car.

It was a 4 hour drive, but we finally reached our destination. It was 11:00 pm now just when the part was about to start. We all parked our cars and the second I stepped outside I smelt the most amazing scent. Vanilla and lavenders. I know this scent, I would never forget it no matter how many years have passed. My wolf was ready to take over as he kept on repeating one thing over and over.

'Mate!'
