Emma POVI felt a little bit better after I managed to convince Logan to give the books to Anna.I didn’t like feeling powerless. I didn’t like the feeling of helplessness. But that was exactly how I felt after Alpha Nathan left the room.Helpless. I had to remind myself that I wasn’t helpless. I was a Luna of the strongest pack. I was a woman who survived hell to be with the love of her life.I wasn’t going to give all of that up.It took a while to push the pain away, but once I did, I could start thinking clearly.Andrew was right. There had to be a way other than my Goddess-given mate marking me. The curse was created by magic, and maybe another spell could undo it.I had magic, didn’t I? It was new to me, and I didn’t really know how to use it, but I had it. I had Anna here. She could help me learn how to use my magic. I knew she said that I wouldn’t have my powers until my Goddess-given mate marks me, but I had to have some magic in me already. I could project it onto Logan. I
Emma POVMy head was killing me.I barely managed to get a few hours of sleep last night.So when I heard a loud commotion in front of my office, all I wanted to do was let Eliza take care of it.But my mate’s scent filled my lungs, and I stiffened. What was he doing here?Where was Logan? Where was Andrew?I could hear one of our warriors fighting with him and telling him that he couldn’t come inside my office without my mate or my brother present.“Are you fucking kidding me?!” Alpha Nathan screamed. “That is my mate inside!”My heart clenched. My hands started shaking.Logan? I mind-linked my mate.We are on our way. He answered immediately. Andrew and I had to go to the cellar. Ryan tried to stop him, but he couldn’t do much.Of course he couldn’t. Nathan was an Alpha. Ryan couldn’t go against him. He could only keep an eye on him.I needed to deal with this.I took a deep breath, stood up, and walked toward the door. I opened it and looked outside.Alpha Nathan looked at me imme
Nathan POVShe was fucking beautiful.I just wanted to touch her. I just wanted to hold her. If that fucker hadn’t walked in, I would have done it. I was so close to her. I could just reach out and touch her soft neck. She wanted me to. I could tell. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. I was one step closer to my goal.I watched her chest rise up as she took a deep breath. I watched her clench her small fists.“The rogues killed my parents.” Emma said. “They attacked our pack and killed my parents and Logan’s father.”I knew about that. The Rogue King had been terrorizing the packs for years. Nobody knew why, though. His attacks stopped about four years ago.“I am so sorry, Emma.” I said as softly as I could. “How old were you?”“I was almost ten years old.” she said.I nodded and gave her a small smile.“Is that why you and Andrew are so close?” I asked her. “You two were left alone?”“Yes.” Emma nodded. “He raised me.”Oh. So she was more than just a sister to him. That was nice
Logan POVI really enjoyed the look on the fucker’s face. I enjoyed it so much that it was hard to keep the smirk off my face.Nice job, baby. I mind-linked Emma.She didn’t respond.I could feel her tension.This had to be so fucking hard for her. Even if I didn’t want to admit it to myself, he was her mate. She felt the bond with him just as much as she felt it with me. Keeping a distance from him and hurting him must have been so fucking hard for her.‘It wouldn’t be hard for me.’ Leon growled. ‘I would rip him to fucking pieces.’ ‘I know.’ I sighed. ‘But you know that we can’t do that, Leon.’‘I know.’ he growled again. ‘I wish that we could, though.’‘Me too.’ I said.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” the fucker said nervously.Emma took a deep breath and shook her head.“Please don’t lie to me, Alpha Nathan.” Emma said calmly. “I know that you are working with rogues.”Alpha Nathan tightened his jaw and clenched his fists.“Emma, please give me a chance to explain.” he
Emma POVLogan and I entered our home. I could hear voices coming from the kitchen.I looked at Logan and took a deep breath.Ever since we left my office, he’s been tense. He kept clenching his jaw and his fists.I took his hand in mine and pulled him closer. “Talk to me.” I said as I wrapped my arms around his waist.He looked down at me and caressed my cheek. “I don’t want you to go anywhere with him.” he mumbled quietly as he wrapped his arms around me.My heart clenched painfully. I didn’t want to go with him either. I really didn’t. But if that was something that could stop a war…“I know.” I said, lifting my hand and cupping his cheek. “I don’t want to go either.”“Then don’t, Emma.” Logan said, tightening his arms around me.“I don’t want to go to war.” I said. “I don’t want to endanger our pack members.”“Every single one of them would go to war for you.” Logan said.I took a deep breath and leaned my head on his chest. “That doesn’t mean they should.” I said quietly. “No
Emma POV‘I’m afraid to know what you are thinking.’ I told Eliza as I ran my fingers through Logan’s hair.We were lying in our bed, cuddled up together. Logan’s head was on my chest, and his arms were wrapped tightly around me. He was asleep, but I couldn’t close my eyes.Andrew and Daisy left a few hours ago. We decided that I should go to dinner with Alpha Nathan, but that I should do it under my own conditions. We didn’t talk about the conditions yet, but I knew one thing for sure: I wasn’t going to be left alone with him. I wasn’t sure about his intentions. I didn’t want him to touch me. It would only make this so much harder.‘I know, Emma.’ Eliza sighed. ‘I can hear your thoughts, you know?’Eliza chuckled, making me smile a little.I placed a soft kiss on the top of Logan’s head. He stirred in his sleep and pressed himself closer to me.‘Did you talk to his wolf?’ I asked, feeling my nervousness grow. ‘I did.’ Eliza sighed. My stomach twisted. I was so afraid to know what s
Nathan POVI was just about to pull a shirt over my head, when I heard a knock on my bedroom door.“Come in.” I said as I finished getting dressed.The door opened, and one of Alpha Logan’s warriors came inside.“Alpha Nathan.” he said politely as he bowed his head a little. “Luna would like to see you in her office.”I smirked. Noel perked his ears.“I will be right there, Ryan.” I said, trying to hide my excitement.She wanted to see me. Would she go to dinner with me? Of course she would. She didn’t want to do this the hard way. I was proud of my girl. She knew what was best for her.Ryan nodded and left my room.I walked to my bathroom, fixed my hair in the mirror, and smiled.“I will get her.” I said quietly. “She will be mine.”I glanced at myself one more time before I walked out of my bathroom. I looked good. Well, not good. I looked great.Ryan was waiting for me outside my bedroom.“You didn’t have to wait, Ryan.” I told him. “I know how to get to her office.”“I have to fol
Logan POVIt was hard for me to describe what I was feeling.Anger. I really fucking wanted to kill someone. I wanted to punch and scream until I ran out of air.Pain. My mate was going to dinner with another man. My body hurt. My soul hurt. My heart was in fucking pieces.Sadness. My wife was going out with another man. I really fucking wanted to cry.Frustration. I was helpless. There wasn’t anything I could have done. Fear. What if she liked him more? What if she decided that she wanted him more than me?Leon had a whole range of his own emotions, and that wasn’t helpful. I constantly had to keep him from taking over.“I can feel your emotions, Logan.” Emma said as she pulled her jeans up. “You don’t have to be afraid.”I gulped and clenched my fists. Of course I had to be afraid. What if she saw him in another light after tonight? What if he managed to take her away from me? What if all of our efforts wouldn’t be enough to stop him from taking her? What if she wanted to leave wi
