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

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

Emma POVI wouldn’t be surprised if my heart jumped out of my body. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw it on Logan’s desk.My whole body was trembling. I felt the need to touch him, but my heart kept screaming at me. I didn’t want to.But a part of me needed to touch him. A part of me needed to feel his hands on me. A part of me needed to touch his skin. He smelled like rain. His scent was soothing and calming. I felt the need to go to him and breathe his scent in deeply.I gulped down the lump in my throat and pushed that need away.I took a deep breath and focused on Logan’s touch. It soothed me. It helped me. You are doing great, my love. Logan mind-linked me. I know it’s hard. I am so sorry.I love you. I mind-linked him back. I love you too, baby. He said, rubbing my waist with his thumb.Alpha Nathan’s eyes snapped to Logan’s hand on my waist, and I saw the rage inside him explode.My heart hurt for him. I didn’t know him at all, but he didn’t deserve this. No one deserved this.

Andrew POVI rushed back toward Logan’s office.My body was shaking.I didn’t like him. I didn’t fucking want him near Emma.Something about him was making my skin crawl. Something about him kept Asher on constant edge. Something about him made me nervous.I didn’t trust him. Not even a little bit.Logan? I mind-linked him.Yes? He answered immediately.Where are you? I asked.My office. He responded with a hint of worry in his voice. Is everything okay?Is Emma there? I asked.I really didn’t want to talk about Nathan in front of Emma. No matter what, he was her mate. I didn’t want to hurt her by saying something wrong.She is. Logan answered. What’s wrong?I don’t want to talk about it in front of her. I sighed. I don’t like him, Logan. Something about him is making me so fucking tense.I know. Logan sighed. We’ll talk about it later.I was in front of his office. I knocked and opened the door. Logan and Emma were sitting on the couch. Emma was sitting on Logan’s lap. Her head was

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
