Sophie

After lunch, we went for ice cream in a small shop near the park. Logan ordered two scoops of chocolate ice cream and I asked for a scoop of lemon and bubblegum flavor. Weird, I knew, but it didn't stop Logan to make fun of me. We went towards the park and we sat on a bench enjoying the sun.

Logan until now was pretending that yesterday didn't happened like he was before I found out about hum... his world. But even trying not to talk about it, my head couldn't forget it and I started to notice several things different. Like when he growled lowly when our male waiter would talk to me, even though he was being completely professional; or the way he would always be touching me, especially when we passed trough men; or when I was talking to him and he would be fazed out for a few seconds before asking me to repeat. Josh also did the same exact thing, that's why I noticed it.

"What was your favorite vacation?" I asked him while eating my ice cream.

"When I was 10 to 13, I would spend all my summer vacations in Italy with my grandad." Logan responded.

"So, he was Italian?"

"His dad was, but he was born here. After he retired, he moved there to be with is roots, so when I was old enough to travel on my own, I went there. He died a couple of years later, so both my siblings never went, since they are both a few years younger than me. I think Josh went with me the last time."

"And your grandma?"

"She died right after, with the heartbreak."

"Sorry to hear that. They seemed to be lovely people."

"Thank you, but it was a long time ago. And they were, I loved being with them." I nodded.

We enjoyed a few minutes of quiet, the only sounds were the children playing next to us and the breeze ruffling the leaves. We both finished our ice creams, better saying, I finished mine since his ice cream was long gone, and he got up to put it in the trash, before returning to where was.

He wore some back Nike pants and a matching tight shirt who hugged all his muscles. And let me not forget the way his pants showed of his perfect round butt. This was the most casual I've seen him, but he still looked hot and delicious.

If there really is a Moon Godness who pared us together, she definitely needs glasses for paring me up with him. I couldn't help but think. I could never match him, is perfect.

"Did you learn Italian?"

"Yes." He said sitting back next to me and placed his arm around my shoulders. "It's a bit rusty, but I think I still remember the basics."

"Tell me something then."

He though for a while but then he spoke with a low and husky voice. "Sei davvero bellissima, gattina."

"Don't call me, kitten!" I replied right away. Even though I mentally cringed for the nickname, my body responded completely to his husky voice.

I can't believe I got this wet for him and we haven't kissed... this is so embarrassing!!!

Logan started to chuckle to my outburst but then he suddenly stopped and started to smell the air. I couldn't help but wonder what the fuck he was doing but then his head snapped at me and he leaned in and smelled again. I could see is ocean blue eyes getting darker and darker until they were completely black. But before I could ask what was happening, we closed his eyes and cleared his throat and when he opened back, they were blue again.

"You know Italian too?" He asked, but his voice was still a little hoarse.

"No, my mom was Portuguese, and she would speak to me in Portuguese and because the languages are quite similar, I could understand what you were saying." I mind started to drift back then, but I stopped it. It wasn't worth it. "What happened to your eyes right now?"

He looked away, but I saw his ear turning red. "I caught your scent and Alexio wanted to come forward."

"What? Don't I smell like normal? Why did your wolf want to come forward?" I asked genuinely confused.

"I smelled your hum... Arousal." He couldn't even look me in the eyes. "He came forward because he wanted to mark you. I had to control him."

"Oh my god...." I hid behind my face and knees. "This is so embarrassing... I'm so sorry..." I think I turned even redder than him.

"It's not your fault love. I should have controlled him better." He ran his hands through his hair, messing it completely. "I wasn't expecting it to happen, it caught me completely off guard."

"Can we talk about something else, please?" I gave a light chuckle, I couldn't handle it anymore.

After talking a bit more, I realized that he hasn't been to the cinema in years and since it was getting cold, seeing a movie was the next thing on our day.

After the movies it was already time for dinner, so we decided to grab some take out and eat it in my apartment.

After going through McDonald's drive-through and Logan mocking me for my weird order again.

I was just a food picker, it's not my fault.

We arrive at my place in no time because of our hunger. Because of the movie we didn't eat much other than popcorn, even though Logan ate the most of it.

When we arrived, my door was slightly open. "Get behind me." Logan dropped our food on the hall floor and started to open the door slowly.

When he entered, I started to see everything out of place. The couch was turned over, the pillows were ripped apart, in the kitchen drawers were opened and some on the floor, plates were smashed, it was a mess. Someone broke in.

"Should we call the police?" I whispered to Logan.

"Let me check the rest of this place. Stay here." He went deeper into the bedrooms and bathroom and returned. "There's no one in here."

"Do we call the police now?" Then it occurred to me. "Oh my god, what about Alex? I need to call her to see if she is ok!"

"Her room wasn't touched but let her now to not to come home." I grabbed my phone to start to look for her number. "And the police?"

"This was a werewolf doing, it's better for us to handle, not the police." Logan went back to my room, and I followed him. If the rest of the house was a mess, it was way worse here. Clothes were everywhere, the mattress was on the other side of the room and ripped apart, its foam was everywhere. I couldn't believe someone would do this.

"What do I tell her? She'll ask about the police." I was starting to panic, and Logan grabbed a gym bag from the torn closed and started to put random clothes in there. My mind was running full speed. "What are you doing?"

"Tell her the proper authorities are handling it but she can't come home. And you're coming with me!" Before I could even protest, we grabbed my arms to get my attention to him. "This was werewolf doing, you're not safe here. Grabbed everything you need; you're staying with me until we can solve this!"

It calmed me for a while.

But on the car ride back to his place, almost arriving, and after a long conversation with Alex, I remember that in less than 24 hours I was begging Josh to take me out there because of werewolves and now I'm returning because of them...
