Page 62 of Shadow of Fury

The evil man who had ruined her life was dead. Logan’s father was dead and she could barely wrap her head around how she had missed such an important detail.

“He is.” Dominic informed her when Logan stayed quiet. “The Pack Alpha is dead. Long live the Pack Alpha.” His lips twitched almost imperceptibly, “And our Queen.”

“Oh…” she gasped, putting a hand to her mouth.

She hadn’t even thought about that. She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that the Pack Alpha who she had spent so long hating and trying to destroy, was dead. Logan was the new Shadow Pines Pack Alpha and he was her mate. That made her the Queen of the pack.

“Turns out you were right all along. I am a killer.” Logan looked defeated and his shoulders sagged.

“No.” Wren shook her head at the same time Dominic hissed.

“No, you’re not. The paramedic who looked at him on scene said it was likely a heart attack.”

“He was already dying. We all knew he was sick.” She reached for Logan’s arm and gave him a reassuring squeeze. “You didn’t kill him.”

“I did. I knew his heart was weak and I knew when I walked into that office that a fight would likely kill him. And he deserved to die for so many reasons. For daring to touch you, for what he did to the pack, to the people he was supposed to protect…” Logan’s voice rasped as he got choked up but he met her gaze. “And for what he did to Lark.”

Her heart stopped for a full second before it began to pound again.

It was the truth she had been looking for every day of the last six years. The truth Logan hadn’t been able to tell her. The truth that she’d put together for herself when she’d been confronted by the evil inside his father.

She had been right about some of her suspicions but she had been so, so wrong about Logan.

“I’m so sorry.” They said at the same time and Wren’s heart ached.

“I’m sorry I blamed you.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. I will. I can tell you now.”

“Not right now.” She swallowed hard, “I’ve waited this long for the truth, I can wait a little while longer. Right now, we need to focus on your sister because she’s still here and she’s fighting to get back to us. I know it.”

“I uh…” Dominic cleared his throat and Wren realized he was still standing over them. “I think I might be able to help with that.”

Logan tilted his head, “With what?”

“Healing Vivi.”

Wren pressed her lips together. Logan still looked confused but she wasn’t. Not for a second.

“You’re not a healer. You can’t…”

“Logan.” Wren put a hand on his arm, drawing his attention back to her, When he met her gaze she raised an eyebrow. “Think about it.”

His brows furrowed and then his eyes flashed gold and he whipped his head back to his best friend, his voice practically a roar, “You have got to be fucking kidding me! You sparked a bond with my little sister?”

Dominic winced, “Lo…”

“When? How?” Logan demanded and then winced and shook his head “You know what? Don’t answer that. I don’t care. Not right now. I’ll deal with you later, just go and be with Viv right now. Share your strength with her. She’s going to need it.”

“Yes, Alpha.” Dominic ducked his head, using the formal title again as a show of respect, before he turned and stomped his way through the swinging doors.

Once he was gone Logan dropped his head into his hands and groaned. Wren tried not to smile at the sweet, brotherly exasperation. He cared so much for Vivian. He cared for Dominic too. He would learn to be okay with their mating, with a little time, she was sure of it.

“It’s going to be okay.” She rubbed his back reassuringly.

He grunted, “This day can’t possibly get any worse, right?”

“You might want to knock on wood.” She winced.
