A moment of silence ensued, followed by a succinct ‘Yes Alpha’, after which the queue was terminated.
“You’re welcome,” he muttered to Nolan as he returned Enzo’s phone to him. “Let us proceed.”
Brianna’s Perspective
Brianna and Logan spent the day recuperating in their hotel room, too fatigued from jet lag to contemplate any activities. They lounged on the couch in their suite, watching films and ordering room service when hunger struck.
They visited the hotel’s swimming pool post-lunch to alleviate the day’s monotony. Although neither engaged in swimming, they merely relaxed and discussed Logan’s aspirations for their time there.
Rowan appeared to be asleep once more. They had previously visited this location, and Logan was enumerating all the activities he wished to undertake. She merely smiled at him and instructed him to proceed with creating that list. She genuinely felt secure now that she was far removed from both Alphas.
Received an unusual apology text from Stella, which simply stated, “I’m so sorry Brianna.” I will approach you directly and elucidate.
Brianna promptly texted back, reminding her that she was in Toronto, having flown out of the country to escape Nathan Avery.
Brianna called her from the Colorado airport and informed her that they would be travelling to Toronto until circumstances stabilised, likely remaining there until her usual return date in four months, which had initially been planned for the first three months of the store’s opening. For the clients desiring to meet her.
Logan was the one who had proposed it. Although she had clearly not informed her that it was, in fact, Rowan who had insisted on the relocation. Logan was aware they would depart for Toronto in a month’s time, and within ten seconds of his remark, Rowan asserted, “We go now.” His youthful, gravelly voice still astonished her upon hearing it.
What astonished her further was that she had genuinely sensed his Alpha Aura emanating from his wolf; he was indeed attempting to assert his dominance, marking the second occasion he had stepped forward. She almost rose from the couch immediately to comply with his request, recognising that he would become a formidable Alpha Male in the future.
“Rowan, please calm down,” she smiled gently, attempting to soothe the young Alpha wolf within her son.
To her astonishment, he had retorted immediately. “Currently.”
Brianna had recoiled at the force he directed towards her, sensing his expertise and intent, and barely suppressed the impulse to expose her neck to her 7-year-old son and his wolf.
“Alright.” escaped her lips before she could restrain herself, and once she acquiesced to his demands, he withdrew; she then gazed at Logan with a questioning expression.
“That is quite peculiar, Mother,” he remarked, acknowledging her awareness of his reference to Rowan’s intrusive manner of speaking over him without consent. How he would have been relegated to the recesses of his own consciousness.
You will acclimatise to it’, she informed him. “Is he angry?” “It appears that he is,” she enquired.
“No, not angry…” He remained silent for a moment, and she recognised that he was conversing with his wolf, occasionally perceiving the characteristic glimmer of his wolf’s eyes. “He seeks to safeguard us.” Instructing me to convey information to you. We must depart immediately; he is anxious.
“Very well.” She nodded and gazed directly into his eyes. She was aware that Rowan would be observing through Logan’s perspective just as Layla was at that moment. “Let us alleviate his concern.” Brianna sought to prevent his wolf from becoming agitated and harming her 7-year-old son. She was aware that his wolf could perceive all her communications with Logan, thus he would comprehend that she was attentively listening to him and prepared to fulfil his desires.
He was not fond of taking orders from his wolf, yet he was genuinely apprehensive about shifting for the first time, deeming it premature. She was merely attempting to retain him within the boy at this juncture. However, she was increasingly concerned that she would soon be unable to continue doing so.
It appeared that whenever there was a threat to her, he was inclined to emerge; it was inherent to his nature as an Alpha wolf to safeguard what belonged to him, and she was his sole possession, thus his protective Alpha instinct would perpetually compel his wolf. Her intention was to mitigate the threat he perceived from another Alpha wolf.
Relocated her Nissan to the garage, as she would not leave it in the airport parking facility for an extended or indeterminate duration. Requested a town car to transport them to the airport. She consistently carried their passports, as they occasionally preferred spontaneous travel, and possessing them facilitated this significantly.
She had reserved their flights en route to the airport; however, they faced a four-hour layover before the next flight to LAX, during which they spent the time shopping for carry-on luggage and travel attire. They could acquire additional items in Toronto.
