In Between The Alphas
Chapter 37

Logan took us to his place and throughout the ride both he and Greg kept on casting worried glances at me while Diana kept a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"How did he find out she is here?" Logan asked as soon as we had all settled down in the house, "Did anyone see you when you got back to the town?"

"The only people who saw us are the people who actually live in the town," Greg said, "And as far as I know they're all humans."

"He knew where I was from day one," I said softly and they all turned to me, "Maybe not from day one but he found out a long time ago."

"What are you talking about?" Greg asked and I finally raised my head to look at him.

"Don't you get it? That's why those men were at the store that day," I said, "He knew I was there and know he knows where I am. He is going to come for me and he is not going to stop until he gets me." "No one is going to take you anywhere." Logan said and I gave him a sad smile.

"I'm not going to put everyone's life at danger because I'm scared." I said and he let out a small growl.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," Diana began, "But what exactly is going on and who exactly are we talking about?"

"We're talking about Charlie's deranged, psycho fiancé." Greg said and Diana gasped while I shot him a bland look. "What? That is exactly what he is."

"You're engaged?" she asked and I shrugged, "Wow, I think I might need to sit down for this story."

"It's a very complicated story," I began with an awkward sigh.

"No it isn't," Greg interrupted, "Her family is filled with sociopathic idiots and her father is a power hungry bastard who sold his daughter off to get married to an old, disgusting, abusive and psychopathic man whore." Despite the current situation I actually managed a weak laugh, "Only you would describe my situation that way." He just shrugged in response and Diana let out a sigh.

"I totally understand why you didn't tell me but just know that we're all here for you." She said softly, "And we will do whatever we can to make sure that he doesn't take you back."

"I admire what you guys are doing for me," I began, "But Alpha Hunter is going to declare war on this pack if I don't go back and I won't have that."

"Wait," Diana interrupted then turned to Greg, "Isn't that your a*****e father?" he nodded, "That man is a bitch."

"Colorful choice of words," he said and she just rolled her eyes.
Logan took us to his place and throughout the ride both he and Greg kept on casting worried glances at me while Diana kept a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Focus everyone; this is serious," Logan said and everyone went quiet, "Hunter can't actually do anything to the pack until he comes to me and I refuse to give Charlotte to him and if I'm correct then I don't think he is going to do that anytime soon." "Focus everyone; this is serious," Logan said and everyone went quiet, "Hunter can't actually do anything to the pack until he comes to me and I refuse to give Charlotte to him and if I'm correct then I don't think he is going to do that anytime soon." "What makes you think so?" Diana asked.

"Because," it was Greg who answered, "His preferred tactic is to intimidate and scare his enemies into submission and he is going to use up all the weapons at his disposal to scare Charlie into going back to him."

"Only when that fails will he actually consider coming directly to me," Logan finished.

"It's kind of creepy how you guys finished each other's sentences," Diana said taking the words straight out of my mouth, "So what actually happens when he does come to you?"

"I will take care of that," Logan said and his tone indicated that there would be no further discussion on that matter. "But for now Charlotte would stay with me." Diana's eyes widened and I frowned slightly, "He wouldn't dare invade my house so right now it is the safest place."

"Are you sure this will work?" I asked and everyone went quiet for a second.

"We'll do our best to make sure it works," Greg said and I inhaled sharply but nodded, grateful that he didn't lie to me.

"You should start heading back now," I said to him, "I'm safe now so you should go back home."

"Are you sure?" he asked and I nodded.

He gave me a comforting nod and Diana gave me a hug before leaving.

"You should get some rest too," Logan said but he made his way into the bathroom instead of leaving and when he came out he was holding a first aid kit in his hands, "It's for your head."

I had totally forgotten about my head and subconsciously I put my hand to it and the entire side of temple felt crusted.

"It's okay, I'll get it." he said as he sat next to me.

I could feel the heat radiating from his body and I tried to keep perfectly still as I saw him take out the things he would need to clean up the injury.

"I need to hold you," he said and my eyes widened a bit, "I just need to hold your face so I can clean it properly." He said and I let out a small nod.

His hand held my chin softly and I let him tilt my head a bit to the side. I tried my best not to think of the soft grip that he held me with which was in such a contrast to the rough callouses on his palms.

I winced slightly when the cotton wool touched my head and he shot me an apologetic look with his eyes.

"Thank you," I said softly and he just shrugged me off.

"You don't have to thank me," he began but I cut him off.

"I do," I said and he paused, "No one has ever just offered to clean up a wound for me. So thank you."

"In that case you're welcome then."

He finished it up with a little skin colored band aid and packed up the first aid kit but he didn't stand up.

"What did he do to you?" he asked and he didn't need to elaborate for me to know what he was talking about. "Alp-"

"Call me Logan," he said and I was surprised but I nodded nonetheless. "What did he do to you?"

"He didn't do anything to me."

"He can't hurt you anymore Charlotte," he said softly, "But I need you to tell me what he did."

"I really don't want to talk about it," I said, "I know you want to punish him but I really don't want to think about it right now."

"Charlotte-"

"I know it's stupid of me but I don't want to have to think about both him and Alpha Hunter," I said without looking up, "I just want to handle the most important matter right now which is Alpha Hunter. Maybe when I'm done and I've put him behind me then I can think about Jake."

"Okay," he said finally after a few seconds of thought, "At the end of the day the decision is yours but if he ever tries to corner you just call me."

"I won't be able to call you discreetly if he's there." I said softly and he thought about it for a second before nodding.

"Then use the link." He said and when I shot him a confused look he sighed, "Imagine a bridge connecting both our minds and speak into it." "Like this," he said into my mind and I gasped, "Try it."

I did what he said and imagined a bridge connecting both our minds and surprisingly it wasn't hard.

"Can you hear me?" I asked in an unsure voice.

"You did it," he said and I let out a relieved sigh, "If you're ever I trouble then just holler okay?" "Okay."

"Well then," Logan said out loud, "I better leave you to get some rest; goodnight Charlotte." "Goodnight." With a final nod he left me in the room alone.
