Chapter 40. 5 – Wolf POV

Logan hadn’t contacted me as of yet, in fact each time I tried to reach out to him, I received generic replies, my anger growing but still I worked on what we had agreed on. Setting up in one of my warehouses, so we would let Robert Delaney escape… or so he thought. I had to admit I was starting to wonder if what happened was what truly happened, did that airplane truly have my – have Rainy and her children, as well as my nieces, Chelsea and Cassandra. Logan seemed to be mourning outwardly but when he wasn’t around the Elders, my men said that Logan was acting as though he hadn’t suffered such a great loss.

I stood at my window watching my brother and his children, Jayda and Jaxon outside, he was mourning as well, Rian and Audrey, and on top of all of that Chelsea. He hadn’t done right by her at all, she hadn’t saved Audrey but I knew that he asked and understood why she refused him the way she had. The slight sunlight sending rays on Jayda and Jaxons light brown hair, Jay hunched over on the bench watching them play.

“Where do you want him?” a voice called behind me, I spun to face it – Logan. Two men amid them, a man sagging between them, his head lolling around. I focus my attention on Logan alone, looking at him in a new light, looking for similarities between he and myself. My brown eyes, compared to his sky blue eyes that look the same shade as Laura Christi, but the shape, that is exactly like mine. The hair color, the light brown shade that is similar to my brother outside. “Well?” he asks coldly, he eyes glaring as though he knows I’m seeking out the likenesses. Going to my desk I pull, out the documents showing him the coordinates of exactly where we would be putting this Robert Delaney man, in my warehouse near the Shasta Mountains in northern California.

One nod after seeing the coordinates Logan and his men left, turning on my screen I watched as they left him tied, handcuffed in the cell. I knew he would be returning, but once he did, sitting stiffly I continued staring at him, “How long have you know?”

He glanced at me returning his eyes, “Rainy told me, that asshole Seth,” he spat the name like poison, his sky blue eyes turning cobalt, “he told her and she told me.”

I nodded, “How… I – Laura…”

He eyed me again, and I would have done anything in that moment to know what he was thinking, “You already know the story, from before I told you… no one knew. She left us at a hospital,” he doesn’t say his mother, or my mate and there is no inflection in his tone. I can’t read him.

He snorts, “You know I’m surprised Rian wasn’t working for the Elders… I mean to find out who she was… good thing she’s gone now.”  He said looking at me, I rest back, eyeing him as he did with me, the look in his eyes, passing a message I’m not sure how to receive, I hadn’t wanted to hurt my brothers mate after what had happened but this look with Logan. He knew what happened to Rian, but it was more than that, more to his words.

He knew what happened because he played a part in what happened to her. Nothing was going on, on the screen, not with this Robert guy, I couldn’t understand what happened and how Logan’s team was able to get their hands on him when Gabriel couldn’t when he was alive and around.

I wasn’t stupid, all the pieces were falling together for me nicely, I just wouldn’t look, and I refused to give the Elders any trace to follow. I wouldn’t do their work for them; fuck that. Gabriel… Chelsea… all them, they were alive and Logan knew it.
