Ryder concurred with him on that matter. Successfully arrived prior to their arrival. They ascended the stairs, resulting in a more expedient journey. A fully amused comment indicated that Logan believed he could outrun Nolan, to which Nolan accepted the challenge.
His astonishment was complete upon witnessing Brianna enter the hotel gym. He had only ever observed her in smart casual attire, and she was currently dressed in athletic wear.
Her hair was styled in a ponytail, and she donned a light green crop top that accentuated her ample breasts, along with matching light green three-quarter tights that rested low on her hips, highlighting her well-defined abdomen and pronounced v-line. It was evident that she engaged in regular exercise, though her typical attire did not reveal this fact. Alternatively, she frequently engaged in running. He was unable to prevent his gaze from drifting over her. He had contemplated physical contact with her for most of the night. How could he possibly refrain from contemplating it?
He felt somewhat displeased by her revealing attire in proximity to his residence. However, she was aware that her attire was suitable. In fact, he had observed that the she-wolves in his pack donned significantly less attire during training.
She seemed rather displeased to see him, and Logan, for his part, exhibited annoyance, huffing in irritation at his presence in the gym awaiting them. This was probably an activity they engaged in together, a mother-son bonding experience. The boy evidently believed he was encroaching upon their time.
Observed Stella as she departed and positioned herself against the wall, settling in comfortably. ‘Stella is unwilling to run,’ Nolan communicated telepathically, expressing a hint of disappointment.
“Not everyone enjoys running, Nolan; remember that humans have diverse preferences.”
I heard the man exhale through the mind-link and observed as Enzo attempted to engage with Logan, even addressing Nolan in a deliberate manner. That was entirely false.
The man was attempting to persuade Logan to perceive them differently. He had already sired offspring and was an exemplary father.
Luca and Enzo were both apprised of the events that transpired during his dinner with Brianna. Brianna had candidly acknowledged her rejection of him at that time. Their Mate Bond was, in fact, intact. They were all attempting to be amicable, seeking to earn not only Brianna’s trust but also Logan’s. He had never experienced a positive interaction with his own species. They are currently engaged in that task.
Luca believed that fostering the boy’s affection for them could be the more straightforward approach. He possessed minimal knowledge of his own species; therefore, if they could demonstrate to Logan that not all wolves were hostile and aggressive, the boy’s inherent curiosity about his kind might emerge more rapidly and attract him to Ryder.
Although it was not an unfavourable concept, Ryder remained disinclined to utilise the boy as a means of leverage. It was stated that it is not leverage; rather, it would simply be a bonding experience between the two of them. If Logan independently decides to speak positively or enthusiastically about Ryder, that is his prerogative. They would not request him to perform that task. However, Logan’s actions were ultimately at the discretion of the boy himself.
He was eavesdropping on the dialogue between Brianna and Logan regarding the rationale behind their collective stretching.
He observed that she did not, nor did his son. An aspect of him, his Alpha aspect, desired to advise them to stretch to prevent post-exercise muscle discomfort.
Brianna appeared indifferent, informing Logan that she was a natural runner, as was he. That captured his attention; he only engaged in running once a week, typically while training juniors. His training with the alpha unit focused exclusively on strength, combat, and agility. He possessed the ability to run, as all wolves do. Most preferred running in wolf form rather than human form.
Brianna appeared to run for pleasure, and Logan did as well. His gaze traversed her physique as she ascended the treadmill, prompting him to ponder the frequency and duration of her running; based on her appearance, it was probable that she engaged in this activity daily. He contemplated whether he could persuade the boy to engage in sparring with him following this run.
He genuinely appreciated witnessing Logan’s enthusiasm for this challenge and observing his active involvement.
Despite the boy’s unwillingness to engage in conversation, he appeared eager to confront all of them.
The alpha blood within him elicited a smile from Ryder. Aiden was eager to observe his son’s capabilities. They had not overlooked her inquiry regarding Rowan’s wakefulness. Stimulated the interests of both parties. It is possible that his wolf was not yet fully developed, as it still slept frequently due to its youth. Consequently, they had not detected his presence in Colorado; he may have been dormant on the day they attempted to sense his wolf.
He nearly laughed upon hearing Stella declare her financial support for Brianna. Logan labelled her a traitor.
He gazed directly at her while she regarded everyone, hearing Luca declare through the mind-link, “a piece of cake,” and he smirked in response. No one in his pack could outpace him or his unit. Observed her express disdain towards them, prompting genuine contemplation regarding the potential difficulty of the situation, which may exceed their initial expectations.
What was her strategy in this room? They were entirely unaware of her, lacking knowledge of her strength, stamina, or any aspect of Layla herself. The pack’s database contained no information regarding her wolf, including training or strength. He realised he was unaware of Layla’s size in wolf form, possessing only a handwritten statement, a succinct description, and no details about Layla’s personality.
He was entirely unaware of Brianna’s personality, for that matter. Thus far, he had only observed hostility and ire, along with her aloofness and indifference. He understood that they needed mental fortitude to endure the challenges within his pack and to overcome all she had experienced, driven by sheer determination and the will to persevere. Departed and thrived subsequently. A formidable woman, both intellectually and physically, he could now perceive.
Position Nolan adjacent to Logan, given the ongoing challenge between them; however, Nolan’s incessant jesting towards Logan was poorly received, prompting Logan to snarl at his Gamma to cease, which nearly elicited laughter from him. Nolan’s persistent annoyance of the boy was highly irritating, prompting Brianna to stifle a snort and nearly laugh. It was gratifying to observe.
