CHAPTER ELEVEN

1528 Words
LOGAN POV We spent the night talking and acquainting ourselves, the night was full of laughter, stories, and generally fun. We all crashed in the guesthouse, not that that mad my Lycan completely happy, he conceded settling to be happy that we could stay this close, even if he wanted to be closer. Lexi decided I would sleep in the spare room, she would sleep in the lounge and Morghan could sleep in her own room, obviously! She seemed to be so happy with her ‘directives’ I didn’t miss the very stern look she attempted to throw my way. Morning definitely feels like it comes way too quickly. I groan, stretch and roll off the bed. Standing I head to the bathroom, once I’m done, I make my way out to the kitchen to get some coffee. Opening my door, I find Lexi staring at me. I can’t help but ask “what is your problem this morning?” Her grin unexpected. “I love messing with you, I am sure it’s getting easier the older you get.” Lexi’s words making me grin, I grab a pillow from the pile on the couch chair, I then proceed to launch it at her causing her to squeal and fall off the couch. It's then that Morghan’s door opened, she stands there all sleepy looking, her lips forming a cute pout, before she says. “Do you two ever sleep? I like getting up early, but I also like to get sleep after a late night.” I chuckle, thinking to myself, how cute her statement is, let alone her skimpy shorty pyjamas, and the pout that her perfect, pink, plump lips, forming the cutest little bow. I swallow hard, looking at the clock on the wall, she groans then turns, stepping back inside her room, closing the door, almost like she was never there, my Lycan pitching in his own comments, =Oh Babe!! I hate to see you go, but man I’m loving watching you leave!!= thankfully his comments muttered internally! Although I couldn’t contain the Growl that was quite loud and possessive. Well now, with that, Okay back to the coffee! Working out my movements for the day, I figure if father doesn’t get home until mid-afternoon, which would be more like father, I have never known him to return home early, he won’t care that Morghan’s mother told her they would be home early, he really is an inconsiderate t**t! Right now, I need to find something to do that takes me away from Morghan, her scent driving me to distraction. My Lycan not happy at my wanting to be away from hr. Deciding to make my way to my office, if dad gets home earlier than I expect I will work something out. I start with the same task I worked on the night before last trying to find out as much as I can about my newest distraction, my vixen, Morghan! Before I get comfy in my office, I decide to check dads first. When I get to dad’s office door, I find it locked not worried about that, I use my key to gain entry. Dad’s office is not quite the same as it always has been he now has a couch in here, that’s new. I also notice a smaller workspace set up off to one side, well it seems e is either letting her keep working or, and the more of what I expect is the reason, so he can keep eyes on her. Realising that means he is back in that possessive stage of their relationship. Great! That is all we need! I wonder how Morghan is going to keep her mouth shut about that, I think she will need help. I will need to help Morghan understand, dad is more old school, we don’t particularly agree with his behaviours. He becomes an asshole to us boys, thinking we are going to try take his woman, really, we have no interest, but he still carries on. Pushing memories aside I start to work through the drawers of the cabinets in the file room. Not finding the information I want; I look around for where else father may have the information stored. My eyes land on the drawer at the side of his desk. I open the drawer which wasn’t locked, now that does surprise me. Dragging the drawer further open, I find a number of folders, each containing information on not only Morghan, but her cousin Katie also. My brows furrow together as I scan through the information. I notice some paperwork in the folders, he has information to claim mates and paperwork to apply to have a fated mate’s scent and ability to find their mate supressed. Seeing that makes me wonder what he has planned. Right then I make the decision, Morghan will not go anywhere without Lexi or one of us boys, I don’t intend to let father mess with her. The next few folders have general information, much of this I am already aware of. I sit in fathers chair at that moment as I continue to work through the information I have here. He really has collected a lot of information, I’m still not sure why he has so much information about Morghan’s cousin, her file is clipped to one with information about my younger siblings. Which just creates more questions. Perhaps the old man is becoming paranoid. My own thoughts making me chuckle, picking up one of the next folders, some pictures fall from the file, picking them up I’m surprised to see a photo of Morghan’s eyes, after looking at them all of last night, I think now I would know them no matter where they were. Why does father have a picture of just her eyes, the next one is of eyes similar, maybe a relative. Placing the pictures aside, I find family tree line pictures. Now with my curiosity piqued, I look further, the tree lines are of Morghan’s family, looking down the list I find that father even has the most up to date, with recognition of passing for Morghan’s father, then an additional line to identify father and all of us boys, firmly noting, he and his lady, who from all this paperwork I see her name is Daniella, are Fated mates. The notations around Morghan’s name which was also circled in red, then her cousin, Katie, also highlighted and circled in red. The lines from their names to a space at the bottom of the page, that referred to Lycan Fated Mates, Lycan Chosen Mates, and then a notation about Council approval. Flicking through the paperwork further, I look to see if I can find something more to support that information, becoming irritated, not being able to work out what father is up to, I will have to find a way to bring this up, without bringing up anything directly related to Morghan. I can see why her and father clash, she is certainly a strong willed one, but she is going to keep him on his toes. I think I will need to work out how best to help her to make sure that she doesn’t get punished for something she shouldn’t, and until I find out what it is that father is up to. I think I will keep her close, and tell father I feel Lexi and I would be the best two to keep her safe and secure. I can play the ‘I don’t think it would be the best look for his stepdaughter to be just left to any guards’. Feeling a little entertained at the thoughts of days to come with father and Morghan, it’s about time! I reckon mother would be looking down on him chuckling, but also reminding him he needs someone like her around. I know Morghan would prefer it be her mother, but I guess at this stage her mother is a Lycan’s fated mate. I wonder if Morghan even knows she is part Lycan, I wonder if she feels a connection to me like I do to her, I guess if she doesn’t know, she would think she is just a wolf, so maybe she would see it as a pack bond, whereas it is a connection to her Lycan. I hadn’t completely understood myself until looking through all this paperwork. I know when we find our Mate’s as a Lycan I am bound by the Goddess herself to keep my secret until my mate finds me, it can be difficult at times, because some Lycans can find their mates and have to keep quiet for years. I would say that is brutal. Once her Lycan realises who she is then she will feel the connection, she will know she is part of our family now, after our parents marry, mate and mark each other she will be bound by our family group. She really has a lot to learn. Guess Lexi and I will have a lot to teach her, my thoughts making me smile. But hell yes, she has a lot to learn!
