Chapter Fifty One 

Chapter Fifty One 

“What has life in the shadows been like?” I questioned Logan. 

“What do you think it would be like?” he threw the question back at me. 

“Perhaps sad, lonely, pitiful.” 

“It was all of those things, but I had to be that, knowing you were the complete opposite.” 

“So, about Isabella, had you been the one who awoke her?” 

“No, I wasn’t 

what do you think I am? I don’t know how she awoke but strange things happen, brother. She told me she lost her memory, but I recognized her almost instantly, and I knew she was your mate. I believe it’s all fate. I mean, she came in the time you needed her the most.”

“And what about you? Do you have a mate?” 

“I did; I killed her.” 

“I just might have found a match.” I mused with a smile on my face as I took another sip of the whisky. 

“It had been a mistake; just like you, I had no idea about the Lycan’s curse, and then all of a sudden it happened. It had been an accident, but, well, I wouldn’t let you go through what I did.” 

“So let me get this straight: you are my ‘half brother who had been living in the shadows for over three decades, the very same one who seems to know a lot about me. I believe you would have known about the elders too.” 

“Yes, I was aware of the elders who abducted you and almost had you killed, but of course, once again, you survived.” 

“By the skin of my teeth, yeah. It is strange that you decide to help me now of all times.” 

“I didn’t come to your aid then because it wasn’t the right time, and you pissed them off; you deserved it.” 

I nodded, partially agreeing to that. 

“I think there is more to this. I mean, you finally met me after all these years. Sure, you said you had your reasons for staying away, but you could have at least sent a ‘Hi,

you have a brother‘ letter sometime through the decades, but you didn’t, and now here you are, trying to help me. 

Tell me, 

what is in it for you? 

“Smart, I anticipated that. Maybe this is not all about you. I believe there is a cure to our curse, and I believe we can find it together.” 

“There is no ‘we‘ in this.” I reminded him. 

“I know you will find it, with your family on the line and also, your very own ego- you don’t like the fact that you need Bella. Even if you try to deny it, she is of great importance to you, and you hate it, so you’ll be even more thirsty to find a cure, so that’s why I am here.” 

“What do you do when it begins?” I questioned, we both knew what I was referring to the curse. 

― 

“I chain myself up, down in a tunnel I created, and I go through the pain. Sometimes I believe it will kill me, but it doesn’t. Still, I know things would get worse; the sooner we find the cure, the better.‘
