Plus, he still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

Logan nursed his beer up at the bar, just staring at a bunch of nothing.

“Hey,” Mack said, sitting down next to him. “You want to join us over there?”

Logan turned on his stool and saw all his friends at a table. Kurt, Madison, Ben, Anna, Alex, and Casey. Charlotte and Marcus. Oli and Piper. Callan and Virginia.

“I’m good. I’m heading out at sunset, so won’t be here much longer.” He took another big sip.

Mack sat down.

“Dude. I’m honestly sorry for how this has played out.”

Logan nodded and took another sip.

He was sick of thinking about it all. Soon, it would be over.

“Yeah, I guess not every mate is the perfect match. I’m an assassin, what can I expect? Few women will look favorably on that. She got scared and ran.”

And exposed their entire race.

Mack thanked the server as his drink arrived. “Trust me. I get that.”

Logan turned and gave him a questioning look.

“I’m a hybrid. My life changed the moment I met Callan, and he infected us,” Mack shared, then shook his head. “I’ve forgiven him and love my wolf, but there was someone.”

Logan turned his whole body.

“Your mate?”

Mack shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe. But I can’t tell her who and what I am. King’s orders and all that.”

“She human?”

“Vampire.”

Logan slowly nodded and turned his body back toward the bar. “That sucks.”

Keeping the hybrids confidential was even more important. Them and the super soldiers which no one had seen recently.

Who knew? They could have died.

That would be fucking sad.

If humans learned their DNA could be adapted, it would be a dangerous new world. No one knew exactly how the hybrids had come about, as all the BioZen data was with their enemies.

So he understood Mack’s situation. He couldn’t get close to someone who may or may not be his mate. That level of intimacy was far too dangerous right now.

“Yeah. It does.” The hybrid sighed.

“Well...” Logan finished his drink and slammed it on the bar. “Best to keep away from chicks, honestly. Trust me. Mating is not worth the pain.”

“I can’t mate her. Trouble is, Ella’s moving to Maine,” Mack said.

Woah.
