OLIVIA
‘Sis, Logan!’ First, I don’t register the mindlink.
‘LIV, LOGAN!’ Matt yells in the mindlink, and I wake up fast and very confused, looking at Logan who looks just as confused.
‘About time.’ Matt’s voice sounds in our head.
‘What is going on?’ Logan ask.
‘The Alpha from earlier, he fled. Knocked down the two warriors.’ Matt says, and Logan is already out of bed and getting clothes on.
‘I am on my way.’ Logan says and the mindlink closes.
I move to get out of bed and find something to wear but I am stopped by Logan, who is already dressed and ready to go.
“Stay here. No reason for both of us to leave.” He tells me and kisses my temple.
“Are you sure?” I ask and look at the watch. It’s only 3.34 AM.
“Yes. Stay here with the kids and your dad. And get some more sleep. I will try to be back in not too long.” He promises.
“Okay. Be safe.” I tell him, and he smiles at me.
“Always, baby.” With those words, he leaves the room.
I sit down on the bed, not knowing what I should do. I always need help falling asleep when Logan is away. I decide to go check on the kids and look into Rose’s room first. I see that she is still sleeping sweetly in her bed, so I quietly close the door.
I go to open the door into Noah’s room and get surprised, when I see my dad is there, in the rocking chair with Noah on his lap, talking quietly to him. He looks up when he hears the door open up more and smiles at me.
“Hey, muffin.” He says and looks at me.
“You fell asleep, Muffin.” He whispered, to not wake up Noah again.
“I am sorry, Dad,” I say as I stand up to give him a hug.
“Muffin. You are fine. You should get some sleep.”
“I am waiting for Logan. There was an issue with one of the Alphas, and he was being contained until tomorrow. But somehow he managed to get away.” I tell him.
“I am sure Logan is all good, Muffin. He knows how to look after himself.” Dad tells me, and I know that he is right.
“I know, Dad,” I answer.
“Good. I am sure he will be back very soon.” Dad says, and I know he is right.
After another hug, Dad goes back to his room, and I decide to walk downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of warm chocolate. Walking down the stairs I stop halfway down, something is for some reason not feeling right. I try putting my senses out but don’t feel anything, so I continue down, walk to the kitchen, and make the warm chocolate, when it is ready I go to leave the kitchen.
