Chapter 69: The Dream

Logan wasn’t sure if he was asleep or dead. All he knew for sure was that he was no longer in thewoods where he had been attacked. He felt nothing, no pain, no anger, nothing

It was like his body didn’t exist anymore; he was floating through a mass of fluffy clouds, everythingelse forgotten except for the lightness and freedom he felt. The clouds parted, opening onto a forest inthe night. It wasn’t the forest he’d been attacked in. It was at sunset, and the forest was glowing gold. Itlooked magical. He saw Serena standing on the edge of the forest. She was haloed in the setting sunlight, looking almost like an angel as she beckoned to him.

Logan started towards her, but she didn’t see him. She stripped out of her clothing and shifted into awolf. In her wolf form, she continued to look angelic with the setting sun behind her. She raised hernose to the sky, howling a lovely soprano note that caused his whole body to ripple pleasantly. Frombehind the trees, two smaller wolves appeared running to catch up with Serena. They were the twins.He knew it just by seeing them in identical wolf forms. They both looked just like him in his wolf form!

Watching them run further away, Logan tried to run after them. The lightness that he had felt beforeevaporated and he felt like he was being dragged down by anchors on his arms and legs. He tried tofight against it, but the more he fought, the heavier he became.

He was being dragged down to the ground! Groaning, he pushed harder, but it was no use.

In the distance, Serena and the twins were getting further away. The sun set completely, leaving him incomplete darkness. He couldn’t see them anymore! “Serena!” he shouted out after her. “What?”another voice asked. Logan blinked his eyes several times. There were bright lights over him. He waslying down in a bed, and when he tried to move, someone grabbed his shoulder. “Don’t move,” hismother’s familiar voice said to him. “You had surgery recently.” Logan sighed, but he laid back on hispillows. He looked around quickly, seeing his mother sitting beside him and Holly standing at his bed on

the other side. She had her arms crossed and was glaring at him. “Why are you calling out forSerena?” she asked. Logan winced as pain welled in his chest. He groaned, crunching up slightly. “Ithink the pain meds have worn off,” Flo said. “I’ll call a nurse.” “What happened?“ Logan asked. Heremembered fighting rogues, but beyond that, he

couldn’t remember anything! “You were attacked in the woods,” Holly said. “Serena and Carsonbrought you in for surgery. Are you going to answer my question?” Logan raised an eyebrow at her.“You want an answer for why my drug heavy brain conjured up the name of the doctor who dragged meout of the woods and seemingly saved my life?” he asked pointedly. Holly rolled her eyes. Flo returnedand the nurse administered another dose of pain med. Logan was able to relax again.

“Don’t talk too much,” the nurse warned him. “Your throat has some healing to do.” Logan nodded toher. She made a note in his chart and then left. “I’ve been sitting here for hours, exhausted and scaredout of my mind,” Holly whined. “You wake up, and the first name on your lips is some other woman!”“Holly!” Flo snapped. Logan gave his mother an appreciative look. “What am I supposed to think?” shewent on. “We are going to have a baby together, and you’re thinking of some other woman!” Loganclosed his eyes, leaning his head back on the pillows. “You know very well that Serena saved Logan’slife tonight,” Flo chastised. “Logan needs to heal and rest. If you’re just going to stress him out…” “It’salright, mother,” Logan said, touching her hand. She sat down and stopped fawning over him. “Are youalright?” Flo asked him. Logan nodded. “I’ll be fine. The pain meds are kicking in,” he said.

“To conjure more visions of some other female?” Holly snapped. Logan glared at her.

“Judging by my various bandages and surgical scars, I’d say I almost died tonight,” Logan said sharply.“It would be nice if you could show some affection and sympathy for once, rather than prattling onabout your jealous insecurities.”

Holly’s jaw fell slack and she crossed her arms. “I can’t believe you!” she hissed. “You’re makingexcuses about why you’re dreaming of another female!”

“Holly!” Flo warned again. “This isn’t helping.” Holly ‘hmphed,’ but she took a seat on the other side ofthe hospital room. She crossed her arms and legs and refused to look at either Logan or Flo. “How badwas it?” Logan asked his mother. His voice sounded hoarse and harsh, his throat dry and raw. “A wolfgot you good in the neck,” Flo explained. “Tore through your throat and punctured an artery. You almostbled out.” Logan absently brought his hand up to touch the bandage at his neck. He had vague TheDream flashes of Serena leaning over him, feeling his forehead and bandaging his wounds. He couldn’ttell if they were real or not, based on the other strange dream he’d had.

“You had several broken ribs,” Flo was saying. “There was some internal bleeding, but nothing serious.None of your organs were punctured.” Logan nodded. “That’s good,” he said. “The surgery was torepair your throat and your ribs. You’ll heal quickly since the internal damage was minimal,” his mothersaid. Logan’s eyes flicked to Holly. She still wasn’t looking at them, head turned to the side. “I was sofar out in the woods,” Logan said. “How did anyone replace me?” “You sent out a warning through themental link about an attack,” Flo reminded him. The details were a little fuzzy. Blood loss andunconsciousness had a way of doing that!

“And Serena and Carson found me and brought me here?” he asked, trying to put the pieces together.“Not exactly.” Flo said with a sigh. “What happened?” Logan asked, wincing as he propped himself upon his elbow. “The patro! wolves that came to your aid tried to carry you back. They might have killedyou in the process if Serena and Carson hadn’t caught up with them and taken care of you properly,”she explained. Sighing, Logan lay back on his pillows again. What a night! It certainly had the effect ofmaking him forget about his anger and frustration! “Moonshine is getting out of control” Flo said.“Clearly,” Logan said, looking down at his bandaged chest. “Do you need anything?” Flo asked. “A fewminutes alone with Holly,” he said. Flo nodded. She stood up again, kissing her son’s forehead beforeleaving the room. Holly was looking at him expectantly. Logan forced himself into a semi reclined sittingposition, despite the pain. “I’m not going to apologize,” he said. Holly rolled her eyes. “You can’t blame

me for whatever was going through my mind when I was dying. Serena saved my life, clearly that isimportant.” Holly shrugged, but she uncrossed her arms and legs, seemingly willing to accept that. Hedidn’t see any reason to tell Holly about his dream. It would only upset her more. “Please, don’t be madat me,” Logan said. He held his arm out to her. Holly was slow to smile, but she finally slid off her chairand stood beside him, taking his hand. “I was so worried when they brought you in,” she said. “Theysaid you were in really

bad shape and didn’t know if you would make it.” Her eyes teared up, her lovely lips pouting. Logansighed. “I’m okay now,” he said.

“Apparently Serena had to give you a blood transfusion with her own blood on the way here! It wassuch a risky thing to do. She could have passed out and been unable to treat you,” Holly was ranting.Logan was only partially listening. Serena had given him her own blood to save him? He hadn’t beenexpecting to hear that. It was risky, he didn’t need to be medically trained to know that, but it had alsosaved his life.

He would have to remember to thank her, if she would ever speak to him again. In the back of his mind,he could remember her speaking softly to him, reassuring him when she tended to him in the woods. Itwas another memory that he couldn’t confirm.

“I should rest,” Logan told Holly. She nodded.

“I’ll come check on you soon,” she said. Logan smiled at her and lay back on his pillows. It had been along, long night! He couldn’t believe he had survived, and there was only one wolf in the whole pack hehad to thank for that!
