Mated To Alpha Logan

CHAPTER TWELVE

Elle pov

This is a mess, even when I tried so hard to hide from him and mind my business, he still found his way to me.

Why was the universe fond of making me happy and then later take that happiness away from me. I was doing just fine knowing that I don’t have a mate but all of a sudden the man I hated the most was in my cafe.

The cafe workers were already talking about it , that’s for sure, bloggers and the new will carry it on. Not like I’m bothered but I wanted to keep a low profile in this side of the city.

“Are you okay Ember?” Lia asked. She was one of my workers and she too was a rogue like me. She has a daughter about my sons age and she doesn’t have a family.

“Yes, I am.” I try to hide my tears but she was already in the office pulling me into a hug.

She has always been like a sister to me since I reopened the cafe all thanks to Lydia who saw my potentials and gifted me this.

“You can cry it out, don’t hold back.” She said. She was right, I’ve held back my tears and became a strong woman but today I couldn’t take anymore. The pain from my past is back again.

I wish he could disappear. I also didn’t want him to find out about Lucian and take him away from me. I learnt that from Lydia.

Her son was taken away from her and she has not set her eyes on him since he was a baby. I didn’t want such fate to happen to me.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Logan was your mate? I wouldn’t have allowed him come into the cafe shop.”

“I’m sorry Lia. You’ve been honest with me all this while and then I hid such an important thing from you. “ I continued to cry.

“It’s fine. I’m not mad at you. I now understand why you didn’t tell me. Is he Lucian’s dad.”

“Yes, he is.”

“Well, there’s a bit of resemblance there. Calm down I’m sure everything will cool down soon.”

“What if he takes Lucian away from me.”

“He won’t dare or he’ll have to deal with the rogue community.” She said

“I know you’re trying to console me but what if…”

“You’re a strong woman. I’ve never met someone as strong as you are. I know you won’t allow Logan take your child away from you.”

That’s definitely for sure. No body was going to take my sonna at from me.

In the Rogue community, only Lydia and Lia knew my true identity and I wanted it to remain that way that’s why I was a bit worried about the media but funny enough, the news about what happened today was verified as fake.

That could only be the handwork of someone powerful. Maybe Logan, his Father or perhaps my father.

This is almost a year and I haven’t heard from him, neither my mom or sister and there was not point of reaching out. If they cared they would have come see me.

I usually close from the office early so I could of go home and help Lydia and my son Lucian.

He is almost one and soon he’s I’ll have to enroll him in a school.

A school close to home because of the dangers lurking around. Apart from the packs and the Rogues, there is another community whom no one knew how they came into existence.

The forsaken. They are very wild and out of control. One bite from them and you become just like them.

Till today, no one knew how they came about and their numbers kept increasing.

I didn’t want my son to encounter any of them. So I decided to pick the Rogue school. It was close and Lydia won’t have to stress about getting him from school.

When I got home, the smell of toast was very welcoming. It made me forget the event of the day.

“You’re home soo early.” Lydia said as I sat on the chair in the kitchen.

“Yes. I thought you might need some help with Lucian.”

“Nonsense. My little son doesn’t stress me, isn’t that so.” She said with a lovely smiling trying to tickle Lucian who was in his baby chair.

I patted his head and wondered how life will be if he was taken away from me.

“You don’t seem fine Elle, what’s wrong?” Lydi asked me and I couldn’t help but cry again.”

She carried Lucian to the sitting room where his toys were scattered about and came back to the kitchen to listen to me.

“He came to the cafe.”

“Logan came.” She asked looking a bit excited then her expression changed again.

“Yes he did. And he knows that I won’t accept the mate bond.”

“I understand my love. It’s your decision and I hope he respects it.

“I don’t want him near my son.”

“But Elle, you do know Lucian is his son too and if he finds out, he’ll want to look af the e his son. But you’re strong, you won’t let him take your boy away from you just like my son was taken.”

“I’ll never allow it Lydia, Never.” I said.

“That’s the spirit. Clean up your eyes and have some toast.

I cleaned my tears and smiled as Lydia made me coffee. Logan can do all he wants but he won’t take Lucian from me.

After eating and cleaning, I decided to take Lucian to bed and do some reading my self. All thanks to Lydia I was able to go to college and study business like I wanted and now,soon I’ll be a graduate.

I’ll become someone my son could be proud of.

I showered before I went to bed but some noise woke me up and I decide to peep through the window. I thought it might be the forsaken, but it was just a man in a corporate wear.

He did look familiar. But there was something about Lydia’s reaction when she saw him. Sadness.

Could it be her mate?

It was better to let some things be and not did into someone’s personal life. I tell myself and went back to my bed.

The image of Logan at the Cafe flash back into my head. He was looking hot like the first time I saw him.

The pleasure of that night was something that I can’t forget.

I adjusted myself and tried to get some sleep but it wasn’t working,I need something to clear my mind and then sleep.

I decided to take a stroll around the house but didn’t know I’ll stumble on the fact that Lydia was taking drugs to make her resist the mate bond.

In the werewolf world if a female wolf doesn’t accept her bond or get mated by another, she dies and that’s exactly what is happening to Lydia and same would happen to me, I realized.

But I didn’t want Logan as my mate even if he is the father of my child and I can’t be with another man.

So is it my fate to die?

I heard footsteps coming from Lydia’s office and I walked quickly to hide in the shadows where I won’t be seen.

The man is gone and Lydia is back to her office and I could hear her crying and I know she won’t to tell me what the issue was just yet.

I just hoped she was fine. I needed her to scale through this face. We both needed each other.
