Chapter 8: 8- Full Moon Plans
Logan's POV
The b*stard refuses to sleep.
He's up and going through the statements for the slaughterhouse while I seethe in silence as he stapled another file.
At the crack of dawn today, he did his customary routine check with the beta, inspecting the cattle's health; their feeding and watering, and addressing a few issues that arose with the herd's well-being.
Together they'd also checked the detailed records of each animal; their growth and health metrics are crucial for the purchasing decisions. The need for more purchasing for meat profits is totally unnecessary at the moment. He did the numbers on quality and quantity ensuring they would meet the standards set by the buyers and regulatory bodies. I was with him when the farmhands showed him which were ready for the processing and scheduled sales.
He sat with the beta while he contacted the suppliers and buyers, listening to the negotiations and contracts. Then they discuss market trends and whether they should adjust their purchasing strategy to ensure greater profits.
Then just before dusk, they again did another check of the herds in preparation for the meat checking which would start taking place in three days when the butchers would come in and do their butchery thing.
When the sun went down, he did not sleep. He called that sl*t and they did the nasty while I blanked myself out, timing him. I cannot process time much, only by the moon and sun movements I can interpret it.
But I do try to calculate what was thirty minutes.
When I come back out, he is in his office doing inventory now. 1 am. Okay, so my estimate is off by a few hours.
How could this imbecile sleep with another when we tasted mate? We were one with her. He felt it and couldn't resist her, so what was the matter with him? I know what he felt and I cannot find human words to describe what we felt but it was intense. Like our souls joined. An innate primal need, satisfied. A feeling of belonging- home.
I am now full of malice. It's seeping out and I feel as if I can no longer contain myself. My mate is near, I can smell her- well I actually cannot but whenever the moon is full, like tonight, I can get her full aura and my senses pick her up, though I cannot find her. For three nights, the second night being the strongest pull ever to the mate bond, is when I can feel my wolf-mate the most.
She is in Meg yet, when I call out to her, she does not answer my howl and it eats me alive. It drives me mad whenever this b*stard here touches another she-wolf. I sometimes feel my inside crawling out and I want to scratch their faces off.
While I loathe them all, I think I am getting to dislike my human more.
Snarling, I burst out from the quiet corner I had been in, startling him. "Could you f*cking shower at least? You reek of that cheap-"
Immediately I check myself and revert my alpha power. I had overtaken his body, unknowingly. Sometimes I lose myself when he triggers me. Right now, he stinks of that gamma woman. I hate how she smells and I have been fighting a losing battle for almost an hour now.
He dared cut me off? I am almost tipping over again. I want to say alpha but I do not. I always have to abide by his rules and check myself and it aggravates me because he is who he is because of me. Me!
