Emma POVI was just about to start explaining my plan to Andrew and Daisy when the front door opened and my mate walked inside the house.“Emma?” he called me, and I could hear a hint of worry in his voice.“Kitchen.” Andrew said.A second later, I saw my mate enter with a worried expression on his face.His eyes found me, and he breathed out in relief.“What happened, baby?” he asked as she rushed toward me. “I thought that you would wait for me at home?”He picked me up, sat down on my chair, and put me on his lap.I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a small kiss on his lips.“Why are you here?” I asked instead of answering him. “I thought that you would be in your office.”“I was.” Logan said. “I came here to talk to Andrew. I noticed your scent when I came close to the house. I got worried that something happened.”I took a deep breath and bit my lip. I had no idea what to tell him. I really didn’t want to bother him until I knew what to do. I didn’t want to bother him un
Logan POVI walked into my office and sat down at my desk.How the fuck was I supposed to focus on my job? How the fuck was I supposed to do something when I knew that another man was coming for my mate?I wondered where he was. Was he close? Would he come to my pack today? Would he come tomorrow? Would it be in a week or in a month? What would I do when I saw him? How the fuck would I stop myself from killing him? How the fuck would I survive if he took my mate from me?I wouldn’t. It would kill me. I buried my face in my hands and groaned.“I would ask how you are, but that seems like a stupid question.” Drake mumbled as he sat down on one of the chairs opposite me. I moved my hands from my face and sighed.“I wouldn’t know the answer to that question anyway.” I mumbled. “I’m barely holding it together.”I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath.It was so fucking hard to describe what I was feeling. I was angry. I was in pain. I was terrified. I was so fucking terr
Emma POV“I wish I could do something to help you, sweetie.” Daisy sighed as she ran her fingers through my hair.I leaned my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes.Daisy kissed my forehead, and a small smile spread across my face.I was so thankful to have her in my life. She was like a sister to me. When Andrew first met her, I was a little scared that she wouldn’t accept me. I was afraid that she wouldn't like me. I was afraid that she would hate me just like Sienna did. It was hard to trust someone new after what happened with Sienna.It was especially hard for Andrew. It took him even longer to trust Daisy. He was very careful and suspicious. I was the one who convinced him that Daisy was nothing like Sienna. I was the one who told him to trust her, and it was the best thing I could have done. Daisy was a wonderful woman who adored my brother. She was the best thing that happened to my brother.“I love you, Daisy.” I mumbled, wrapping my arms around her round belly. “Oh, swee
Logan POVI could feel my heartbeat in my eyes. I could hear my blood pumping through my veins. My ears were ringing. So if I wasn’t her Goddess-given mate…“What the fuck did you just say?” Andrew growled, narrowing his eyes at Anna.Anna looked at him and sighed. “Only her Goddess-given mate will be able to get Emma pregnant.” Anna repeated.So I did hear her right. I did fucking hear her right.Anna turned back to look at Emma and me.“Were you trying to get pregnant at any point in these four years?” she asked.I looked at my mate and my heart broke. She was pale, and she looked like she was going to be sick. I wasn’t sure if she was even listening to Anna.I pulled her to my chest and kissed the top of her head.“No.” I said. “Emma isn’t ready. She is taking contraceptive pills our pack doctor made.”Human contraception wouldn't work on a she-wolf, so Wren and some of his other colleagues made a contraceptive for she-wolves. It was similar to human contraception, but a bit stro
Nathan POVI couldn’t wait to meet her.I wondered if she was as beautiful as the stories said. I wondered if she was as kind and loving as the stories said she would be.I grew up hearing about her. I grew up listening to the story of the White Wolf. My father always told me that if the White Wolf really existed, she would be mine. He told me that I am her rightful mate. He told me that I was the decadent of the first Alpha and that I was the White Wolf’s Goddess-given mate.I was so fucking happy when I found out that she was real. I was so fucking happy to know that she was mine. I wasn’t happy to know that she already had a mate.I knew about the curse. It was in the stories I was told. I knew that the White Wolf had two true mates, but only one of them was the Goddess-given one. I knew that there would eventually be another man that I would have to deal with, but I wasn’t hoping that she would meet him before she met me.It made me furious. Just thinking about another man touchi
Emma POVIt felt like a hand was squeezing my heart. I couldn’t move it away. I couldn’t get it to let my heart go. My heart couldn’t even beat properly. The hand was too strong. It seemed like the squeeze would become too hard at one point, and my heart would just stop beating.It felt like something heavy was sitting on my chest.I had the urge to fight and move it away, but there was nothing there.It was all in my head.It was only pain.A knock on the door made me look up from the papers on my desk.I insisted on coming to my office today. Logan wanted me to stay home, but I couldn’t. My thoughts would drive me crazy, and I would only feel worse.“Come in.” I said, already knowing it was my brother.Andrew opened the door and stepped inside. He had a worried look on his face.“You should be home.” he said as he approached my desk.“And do what?” I sighed as I put the pen down and leaned back in my chair. “Go crazy?”“Rest.” Andrew said as he sat down on one of the two chairs in
Logan POVI had to control my anger.I had to hold back, or I would kill him.I ran into my mom as we were leaving the packhouse.“Andrew mind-linked me.” she said, rushing toward me.She pulled me into a hug, and I took a deep breath.“It will be okay, Logan.” she said as she kissed my temple. “He won’t take her from you.”I tightened my jaw and let my mom go.“Take care of her, okay?” I mumbled. “I will be back soon.”“Don’t worry.” my mom said, caressing my cheek. “She is safe here.”I kissed my mom’s forehead and rushed toward my car.“How the fuck should we stop ourselves from killing him?” Andrew mumbled as he entered the car.“Let me know when you find out.” I growled as I started driving.I could feel my heartbeat in my throat. I could hear my blood pumping through my veins. The closer we were to the border, the more pissed off I was.Did he really think that he would take her from me?! Did he really think that she would become his?!NO!No fucking way! She was mine! MINE!I
Nathan POVI could smell her sweet scent all around me.She smelled like vanilla. It was mouthwatering. I needed to see her. I needed to touch her.Where was she?I kept looking around, hoping to finally lay my eyes on her, but I couldn’t find her anywhere. I didn’t even pay attention to anything else. I didn’t check out the packhouse. I didn’t check out the interior. I didn’t even notice when we entered Alpha Logan’s office.I wanted to see her. I needed to see her.‘Mate.’ Noel whined. ‘She is here. I want mate.’‘Soon, Noel.’ I told him, trying to remain still.I wanted to jump, growl, and find her. I fucking needed to find her.I sat down on the chair in front of Alpha Logan’s desk.It was getting harder and harder to focus. I needed my mate. My whole body was buzzing with need. I had to clench my muscles to keep myself from jumping up. I knew that she was here somewhere, but the fact that I couldn’t see her was driving me fucking crazy.“Where is she?” I asked, trying to hold bac
