Chapter 18 Two Packs?

I talked with Melly about how nice the ball was but still had a question nagging me. I wanted to ask even though I was afraid my question may be upsetting. I bit my lip as I looked over at Logan. He seemed to be deep in thought himself. I turned back to Melly "Hey I'm heading to the restroom." I told her. She nodded and got up "I'll go with you." she said and kissed Danny on the temple before leaving with me. I didn't realize I had been holding my breath until now. Melly gave me a concerned look "What's wrong hun?" she asked concern clear in her motherly voice. I bit my lip once again "Do you think the boys would be angry if I wanted to stay at my dad's place every so often. They saved my life and I really do care about them, their the closest thing I have to family, but..." I started rambling. Melly placed her soft hand on my bare shoulder with a loving smile "But this is your dad, the missing link to your past. I know that Danny won't be offended by it. Now as for Logan I can't say for sure, I think he may become more agitated the longer you two are separated." she said honestly while still trying to reassure me.

For some reason, a defeated sigh escaped from me. I bit down on my manicured nail thinking. Then it hit me. I smiled at Melly "I got it! Will you come with me to ask? Pleeeease?!" I begged like an annoying little sister. Melly giggled and rolled her eyes "Let's go." she said as she motioned for us to leave the restroom. We walked back to the table but the boys were no longer there. I looked around to spot them. Danny was taller than Logan and easier to spot in this crowd. They were over by Elric and Siggy. I grabbed Melly's hand and weaved our way over to them. Elric's smile beamed as he saw me approaching. I couldn't help but smile back. Melly cleared her throat getting Danny and Logan to turn to us. I blushed suddenly nervous again. I took a deep breath for courage "Do you think that a few days a week I could spend the day with my dad and his pack?" I blurted out. Elric let out a booming laugh "Of course my precious daughter can come to spend time with her birth pack." he stated not waiting for the boys to answer. Danny nodded in agreement but Logan was frowning. I then felt a large hand rest on my shoulder "Yes I believe it would be good for her to build a bond with our pack as well." said a husky male voice, with an unknown but very attractive accent. I looked up to see Drago towering over me. Wait he has an accent why didn't I realize earlier? [More focused on his eyes earlier.] Cinder teased. I felt a shiver run down my spine and heat radiate from where his skin connected with mine.

Logan was staring daggers at Drago's hand like that would somehow make it fall off. I was so excited to get to spend time with my birth pack. It was starting to get late though and some of the ball attendees had started to leave. Danny bowed to my father "I hope to continue our conversation soon Alpha Elric, but I must get my family home now." he announced. I gave my father and Siggy a hug. Somehow hugging Siggy felt like being hugged by my own mother. I had a hard time remembering what that felt after so many years. I went to hug Drago but quickly thought better off it and shook his hand. He gave me a loving smile that I happily returned. I turned and hooked my arm to Logan's as we left. We all got into the same car.

The drive was going to last quite a while so I leaned on Logan's shoulder. He let out a sigh of relief. I think he was really worried about me leaving him. I felt bad maybe I shouldn't have dressed like this. Was I a bad mate for teasing him? I could hear cinder growl in my head. I was too tired to question her irritated state, and I drifted off into sleep. I started to wake up as Logan picked me up out of the car. I leaned my head against his shoulder with a sleepy smile "Thank you for always being there Logan." I murmured sleepily. I felt him relax considerably. I kissed the top of my head and brought me upstairs. He put me down on the bed before taking off my shoes. I rolled onto my side ready to sleep. I felt the bed dip behind me as Logan got into bed. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close "You know now that we're back in our room I really do like the way that dress looks on you my angel." he whispered into my ear before kissing my neck. I giggled and turned around to kiss him "I'm sorry if I made you worry today." I apologized. He smiled "It's okay. You're mine." he murmured pulling me closer.

I bit my lip, I felt like if I didn't stop this kissing session I was worried we might get carried away. I gave him one last peck "Goodnight babe." I said with a little yawn before snuggling into his warm chest and closing my eyes. I could almost hear his disappointment. He sighed and held me a little tighter before we both drifted off to sleep. That night my dreams were all over the place. I saw flashes of fighting wolves as well as some playing. I saw eyes that each made me feel a different emotion. The dream was frustrating and confusing, I couldn't focus on any one thing it just kept changing. I finally awoke in the morning feeling just as tired as when I had gone to bed. I groaned and I pulled myself out of bed for the day. Out of habit, I looked at my phone. Well the new one that Logan had got me, there was a message from Melly. I opened it while rubbing my eyes. The message I read woke me up faster than hot coffee to the face. Drago was waiting downstairs.
