Logan POV Logan was waiting outside the hospital room while the doctor examined Morgan. His beta was pacing back and forth in front of the door, growling the whole time. His phone chimed for the tenth time. Emma was worried about Morgan, she tried to come but he wouldn’t let her, which pissed her off. Morgan and Alexis had become fast friends with Emma. “Where is she?” He heard a voice screaming from down the hallway. He knew it was Alexis. He turned his head in time to see her barreling down the hallway, Lane right behind her. Lane was his Gamma and Alexis was his mate. Alexis’s eyes were red and puffy from where she had been crying. Morgan and Alexis had known each other since they were kids, and they were like sisters. “Is she ok? What happened?” she asked as she ran up. She didn’t wait for Nathan to answer before she wrapped him in a hug. Nathan stopped pacing and growling long enough to hug her back. “We are still waiting on the doctor to come out.” Nathan told her. A

Logan POV It was late when Logan headed up to bed. He opened the door quietly in case Emma was sleeping. He didn’t want to wake her. He closed the door softly behind him. The television was still on, Emma was snoring. He had found her like this almost every night. He went to the bathroom and pulled of his clothes. He took a quick shower and grabbed the towel and dried off. He hung the towel up and walked into the bedroom, and all his glory just hanging out. Too bad doc said that those activities were still off limits for now. He grabbed a pair of shorts from the dresser and slipped them on. He went over to the bar and grabbed a glass and poured some whiskey into it. He took a drink as he walked over to the bed then sat the glass down on the bedside table. He pulled back the blankets and crawled in bed. Emma groaned and pressed herself closer to him. He put his arms around her and pulled her closer, he buried his face in her hair. He loved the way she smelled, the citrus and rain.

Logan POV Logan, Nathan, Lane, Adam, Marcus, and Paul all sat in Logan’s office. He called them all here so they could try to figure out what their next move was going to be. So far, they had nothing. “Look, just in case Nathan and Lane are right, and this is some kind of power play and they are going to try to take over our pack, we need to start training more guards. Alpha David and I have an alliance treaty. The treaty also states that any alliance he holds with any other pack, will also be an ally for us as well. He has alliance treaties with the Blood River pack, and the Red Moon pack. And our alliance with the Black Night pack still stands as well. The other three packs all remain neutral. If we need to, we can call on our alliances, but I won’t call them until we know for sure what is going on.” “We should only need an extra four guards for the night guard.” Paul said. “That won’t be a problem.” Adam said. “I have some new recruits that just finished their training.

Emma POV Everyone was rushing around trying to get the dining room ready. Emma and Patricia already had most of the food done, they just needed a few ingredients to finish the rest. Patricia was pulling out the last two pies out of the oven and sitting them on the counter to cool while Emma was putting the icebox pie in the refrigerator to cool. They looked around the kitchen at their handiwork. Food was piled everywhere, not a single open space remained on the counters, island, or table. As they finished cooking, Vicki would put the food on serving trays and put the pots and pans in the dishwasher. Emma went out to the dining room to check on the progress, she was amazed at how quickly everything was coming together in such a short time. Every one of the staff was more than happy to lend a helping hand. She walked out of the dining room to see Logan coming in the front door carrying bags of the groceries that she had sent him out for. She was worried about him. She could feel hi

Emma POV Emma’s hand was gripping the phone tightly, she tried to speak but she was paralyzed with fear. She couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. The wolf walked up to the fence and stopped. It just stood there, staring at her. It raised its nose and sniffed the air. When it brought its nose back down, its teeth were bared, but not like it was about to attack, but like it was smiling. Emma stumbled backwards as the wolf leaned back on its hind legs and jumped, high, clearing the top of the fence, and landing inside. She could hear Logan’s voice screaming through the speaker, she tried to talk to him, tell him what was happening, but she still couldn’t speak. The wolf didn’t move, it just stood there, still staring at her, sniffing the air. She knew she needed to run, but she couldn’t move. Goddess, help me, she prayed, please Goddess please. Emma pleaded. She tried to take a step back and was relieved when her foot actually moved, so she took another step. As she moved backwards, the w
