Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 121

Astrid POV

The next day, Nate and Briana showed me their house, and I was surprised to notice that the property was huge. They had over a dozen horses, and Fred was into breeding them. There were racehorses that were rented by the racing buffs. Not only that, my uncle, Fred, loved racing and had taken several of

his stallions on the racecourses.

We headed to the town next. There was just one mall and a few boutiques. I bought a few clothes and tried my best not to remember mom and dad, but was that possible? Every time I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw just how much I resembled them. My red hair was from my father, but my green eyes were my mom’s family trait. Depression set it.

“Astrid!” Briana’s voice broke my reverie. “There’s a diner just down the road. How about we have dinner over there?”

“I don’t know…”I sighed.

Briana came to me and touched my shoulder. “I’m so sorry for your loss, Astrid, but you have to move on.”

I looked at her through blurry eyes. “You know, for a seventeen-year-old, you are an old soul.”

She laughed. “Everyone says that. Come on. Nate is waiting in the car. He is hungry!”

The car stopped in front of the diner, the exterior of which was lit with fairy lights. While shutting the door, Briana discussed the top dish available here, but my thoughts were consumed by yesterday’s dream. I saw a man in my room whose eyes were amber. Moonlight cast shadows on his face, partially obscuring his features, but highlighting his square chin, which had a cleft. I wrapped my arms around myself as a shiver ran down my body.

I was losing it. It was official. I needed to calm down and get my s**it together.

“Fooooddd!” Nate practically sang as we entered the diner.

The small and quaint diner had peeling blue booths, and a twangy music was playing from the jukebox. There were a few old and weathered paintings on the wall. The place wasn’t packed, with only a handful of individuals sitting together or enjoying their solitude.

As we sat down, a young server came over. She looked at me with disinterest. “What can I get for you, Brin?” she asked, handing her the menu.

“Oh, we are gonna order the usual,” Briana said. “Three chicken burgers with extra cheese and fries on the side.”

“Any toppings?”

“Nope.”

burgers you’ve ever had in your life! While he kept talking, found myself completely distracted by the entrance of a striking, six-foot-something man with a muscular build and dark hair. His hair fell over his forehead and his dark gaze was searching for someone. He was followed by two more boys, both of them as brawny as him. One looked like his twin because he had features like him except

F**k.
