PART 1 Michael emerged almost two hours later. Logan had checked on him when the shower stopped and he hadn't appeared for long. His mate had opted for a bath instead which gave Logan the time he needed to clean up and fix something light for Michael to eat. "Better," Logan muttered in approval looking at his mate's refreshed state. "Whatever," Michael shrugged but it didn't bother Logan. The werewolf had expected more resistance than he was getting. He disappeared into the open kitchen and served a plate of mashed potatoes with a chuck of medium-cooked tenderloin beef. Though Michael didn't voice it, his eyes expressed gratitude when Logan placed the mouthwatering food in front of him. He ate in silence as Logan watched. Once he was done with the food, the grumpy Michael resurfaced.
