“Logan, this signifies your formal inclusion in your father’s pack,” she replied. He gazed at her for nearly a minute before enquiring, “Reside here?”He enquired.
“I suppose so,” Brianna affirmed. “Is that what you desire?””
“Do you possess that capability?”He enquired in return, maintaining his frown directed at her.
“That remains uncertain.” “However, if you wish to remain here,” she informed him.
“No… What is your request, Mother?”He remarked, “You asserted you would never return.” It is detrimental for both you and Layla in this situation. You became ill here.
Brianna confessed, “We did fall ill here.” “It may be different now.” She wished to conceal the unpleasant reality behind her illness from him.
What caused your illness?He enquired.
Brianna was unable to respond to that question, as it would likely provoke a multitude of additional enquiries from him and potentially jeopardise the relationship he currently shared with Ryder. “Numerous items, although it appears that the majority of them are now absent.”
He remained silent for an extended duration. She observed that he was indeed conversing with Rowan. They had listened to Annabella’s narrative, and it was probable that Logan did not fully comprehend the implications. Rowan comprehended everything. She could merely sit and await their readiness to converse with her again.
She directed her gaze towards Stella, who merely shook her head in negation. There is no genuine astonishment in that regard. “Fade declines.”
“You are connected to Carlos and possess the ability to establish a mental link with anyone you choose, so it is not particularly significant.”
“Is this the entirety of the matter?””
“Primarily.” She nodded, gazed directly at Stella, and discovered she could effortlessly forge a connection with her. ‘Ryder intends to reintegrate me into the pack; the bond it will establish with him will enable him to communicate with me at any time, locate me, or enquire about my whereabouts, which he is currently unable to do. I found today’s experience entirely unsatisfactory.
“It is not unexpected that you disappeared, Brianna.” Nolan was utterly distressed. She shook her head, stating that the entire pack was searching for you.
Brianna acknowledged with a nod and redirected her focus to Logan. The boy was merely gazing at her now.
What is your desire?He enquired once more, though his tone now conveyed a hint of sadness, she observed. Speculated about the conversation between him and Rowan.
“At some point, I anticipate that I will also reside here.”
“Therefore.. Will you remain here? Are you and father going to be together?”
What was her response to that question? She was already aware that Layla regarded Ryder and Aiden as her Mates; they had claimed her, which appeared to have altered Layla’s perception of their Mate. She permitted Ryder to touch them and did not object to him holding her hand throughout the return journey; she even allowed him to embrace her twice today. It appeared to have no effect on her wolf whatsoever.
She remained disinclined for Brianna to converse with the man regarding her. She claimed it was a form of punishment, yet Brianna speculated whether it stemmed more from fear than from retribution. Discussing her may prompt one of them to request her relocation, which she could no longer accommodate.
“That requires additional time, Logan,” she replied candidly.
Observed his gaze shift to her neck, to her Mark, his father’s Mark. He gazed at Stella for a moment and then sighed, “Will it cause me pain?” Are you and Layla involved?”
“Not particularly.” He will need to incise your palm and his, interlace them, resulting in a heightened sense of connection between you. It is probable that, with Rowan, you will be able to communicate with him even in his absence. It is a unique phenomenon referred to as a mind-link.
“Strange”
“You are informing me, Kiddo.” Stella shook her head. “Nolan’s voice intrudes into my thoughts at any moment he desires.” Fade and Oscar, both peculiar individuals, frequently express a desire to venture into the woods, but she refrained from completing that thought.
Brianna smiled at her, saying, “I did inform you, not a moment’s respite, and they are your eccentrics now.”
“Affirmative, they are.” He also contacted my father today,” she remarked, shaking her head.
“What was the outcome?””
“Nolan, I am displeased with the individual who stated, ‘You will refrain from interfering in Stella’s romantic affairs or face my consequences,’ before abruptly terminating the call. I am still awaiting my father’s response, which has yet to arrive.”
Brianna snorted in amusement, believing it would not take Carlos long to assert dominance over that man. “Perhaps your father has finally comprehended the message.”
“I can only hope,” Stella affirmed.
She redirected her focus to Logan, enquiring, “What do you wish to do?”She enquired of him once more.
“Am I able to, while you are not?”He enquired softly.
“Indeed,” she affirmed, “but your father has also instructed me to undertake it.”
“What is the reason?” Did he assert that he would wait?”
“At what time?”She scowled.
“On the plane, you stated that he would require time.”
Brianna conceded, “It will.”
“However, he now intends to compel you.”
“Somewhat, I suppose.” Has his reasons.
“What justifications?””
Brianna sighed, “All those wolves were searching for me,” she informed him, knowing he would persist in his enquiries until he comprehended.
“What is the reason for this?””
“He believed I had become disoriented in the forest,” she informed him.
She had not been lost, but it was the most effective way to convey it to him. “If I belong to the group, he can consistently locate me.”
“You informed me that you would no longer run alone,” Logan suddenly charged her.
I did not flee. I simply departed and subsequently took a nap. He believed I was disoriented.
The boy scowled at her, appearing sceptical as he remarked, “You were absent for hours.”
“I am aware.”
“No one informed me.” He directed his gaze towards Stella.
I was instructed not to do so by Nolan. They aimed to prevent you from becoming distressed.
He was currently glaring at both of them. She observed each individual in turn and recognised her profound anger.
