"SHE IS MINE!"Leon growled so loudly that even I flinched.
"I'm going to kill him." Leon continued. "He won't touch her. He won’t have
her. I won't allow it. If you fuck up, Logan, I will stick my claws up your
ass."
"I won't fuck up." I sighed. "Not again. I will not lose her. She belongs to me.
She is mine, and mine only."
"I'm glad we are finally on the same page." Leon growled. "Too bad you
didn’t listen to me when we found out she was our mate. There wouldn't be
other men after her right now."
"Shut the fuck up." I growled back.
I blocked him and took a deep breath. His words only fueled my anger and
my jealousy. I knew that he was right. If I accepted her, like I should have,
there wouldn't be a Jacob or a Drake now. Sienna would have never been able
to take her from me. She would be marked, mated, and mine. Nobody would
have taken her away from me.
After Emma came home from the hospital, everything changed. Her mate
Logan wants her back. Her brother believes her. Sienna and Rolf are gone.
Emma is confused and hurt. She doesn’t want to forgive her mate, but her
feelings for him are growing. She is struggling with her emotions and
everything gets even harder when she finds out the truth about herself. The
Rogue King knows about her. He is coming for her. He wants to take her
away. What will Emma do? Will she forgive Logan? Will he be able to save
her from The Rogue King?
This is book 2 of The White Wolf Series. Book 3 is coming soon.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN – Burning
Logan POV
I was pissed as fuck.
In just a few short minutes, that little mutt would be sitting on this couch. He
would be looking at MY mate like she belonged to him. He would laugh with
her, and he would touch her.
He thought that she would choose him. He thought that he would take her
away from me.
‘SHE IS MINE!’ Leon growled so loudly that even I flinched.
‘I’m going to kill him.’ Leon continued. ‘He won’t touch her. He won’t have
her. I won’t allow it. If you fuck up, Logan, I will stick my claws up your ass.’
‘I won’t fuck up.’ I sighed. ‘Not again. I will not lose her. She belongs to me.
She is mine, and mine only.’
‘I’m glad we are finally on the same page.’ Leon growled. ‘Too bad you
didn’t listen to me when we found out she was our mate. There wouldn’t be
other men after her right now.’
‘Shut the fuck up.’ I growled back.
I blocked him and took a deep breath. His words only fueled my anger and
my jealousy. I knew that he was right. If I accepted her, like I should have,
there wouldn’t be a Jacob or a Drake now. Sienna would have never been
able to take her from me. She would be marked, mated, and mine. Nobody
would have taken her away from me.
“Maybe you should leave, Logan.” Andrew sighed.
My eyes snapped to him. “Are you insane?!”

Andrew ran his hand through his hair and sighed again. “You are too tense.
Your Alpha aura in the room is suffocating.”
“I’m not leaving my mate alone with another male who wants her.” I
growled, clenching my fists so hard that it hurt.
“She won’t be alone.” he said. “I will be here the whole time. And Amy is
coming as well.”
My nostrils flared and my anger kept rising. “I said no.”
“Fine.” Andrew said, raising his hands in surrender. “But try to calm down a
bit.”
I gave him an angry glare and tried to listen to him. I closed my eyes and
took a deep breath.
I heard Emma walking downstairs, and her intoxicating scent calmed me
down instantly.
I turned around to look at her.
She was beautiful. She was wearing leggings and a hoodie. Her hair was
lifted in a messy bun. She looked so fucking amazing that I almost grabbed
her and made her mine. Her scent was driving me crazy.
“Is everything okay?” she asked when she reached the bottom of the steps.
She could feel my Alpha aura in the air.
“Of course, love.” Andrew smiled at her. “Don’t worry.”
She opened her mouth to speak, but she was interrupted with a knock on the
door.
Fuck.
My blood boiled, and he wasn’t even inside.

Emma walked to the front door and opened it.
Amy jumped on her, squealing loudly.
“Emmy!” she yelled. “I’m so glad you are okay! I missed you so much!”
Emma chuckled and hugged her back. “I missed you too, Amy.”
“Are you okay?” Amy asked her as she let her go and looked up and down
her body.
“I’m fine.” Emma smiled.
My heart skipped a million fucking beats. I wanted to kiss her.
Amy moved away, and the fucker walked inside.
He was looking at my mate like she was his whole world. I clenched my fists,
and I had to hold back from killing him.
“Hello, beautiful.” Jacob said as he pulled Emma to him, kissing her cheek.
I saw fucking red.
I growled loudly and jumped up.
“Logan!” Andrew shouted, grabbing my arm.
Emma and Amy looked at me with wide eyes. The fucker smirked.
“Alpha.” Jacob said smugly.
“Keep your fucking hands off of my mate!” I growled.
I was letting Andrew hold me back. If I wanted to, I could rip out of his hold
and kill the fucker before anyone could blink.
But I couldn’t. Because of Emma. She would never forgive me if I hurt him.
Emma stepped away from Jacob, and he frowned.

“Alpha, Beta.” Amy nodded, breaking the tense silence. “I’m sorry. I was so
happy to see Emma that I didn’t notice you there.”
“It’s okay, Amy.” I said as I sat back down.
“How are you, Amy?” Andrew asked her, giving her a small smile.
I have no idea what she said. My sole focus was on Jacob and the way he was
looking at my mate.
Emma closed the door behind Jacob and motioned for him to sit down.
“Would you like something to drink?” Emma asked her guests.
“Coffee would be nice.” Amy smiled at her.
Emma nodded and smiled. “Jake?”
“Sure, beautiful.” the fucker said, smiling at her like she was the sole reason
for his existence.
I hated the nickname. Only I got to call her that. She was mine. Her beauty
was mine.
“Sit down, Em.” Andrew stood up and kissed the top of her head. “Hang out
with your friends. I will get the coffee.”
“Thank you.” she smiled at him and sat down on the couch next to me.
I was so glad the fucker sat on an armchair. The only empty space was the
one next to me. I reached out, placing my hand on her lower back. Touching
her calmed me down. She stiffened and glanced at me.
“How are you, Emma?” Jacob asked her, leaning his elbows on his knees.
“I’m fine, Jake.” she smiled, looking back at him.
“Are you sure?” Amy asked, looking at her suspiciously.

“I’m sure.” Emma nodded. “My ribs are still sore, but it’s nothing compared
to how it was a few days ago.”
“I am so sorry, Emma.” Jacob sighed. “I should have done something. I
should have talked to your brother. I knew what she did to you before the
kidnapping. I should have done something.”
“Stop it, Jake.” Emma said. “It’s not your fault. You wanted to talk to
Andrew. I was the one who stopped you.”
“Well, even if I did talk to him, it wouldn’t have done much good.” Jacob
said, sending me an angry glare.
I growled loudly. The pup had some balls. I was his Alpha.
“What is that supposed to mean?!” I growled.
“Logan?” Emma called me before the fucker could answer. “Can I talk to you
in private?”
I nodded, glaring at the fucker. Emma and I stood up, and I followed her to
the backyard.
“Can you please stop fighting with Jake?” Emma asked as soon as we
stepped outside.
She turned to look at me and crossed her arms over her chest.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “It’s hard, Emma.”
“I know.” she sighed. “But please just try, okay?”
I looked at her, and all of my strength burned up in flames in a second. I
couldn’t hold back anymore. I needed her more than my next breath.
I closed the distance between us in two long steps. I cupped her face with my
hands and lowered my lips to hers.
Sparks. Tingles. The whole fucking fireworks.

Her mouth on mine felt perfect. Her scent consumed my senses completely.
Her taste was the best thing I’ve ever had.
My whole body buzzed with need. Her skin was like fire under my touch.
The sweet moan that escaped her made my dick so fucking hard that it hurt. I
groaned, placing a hand on the back of her neck and pulling her closer.
One of her hands gripped my shirt, and the other went to my hair, pulling on
the strands, making my knees buckle. I almost fell down.
Fucking shit. She was addicting.
Our mouths moved perfectly together. I never wanted to stop kissing her.
The need to mark right then and there was overwhelming. Leon’s possessive
howls didn’t help one bit. I pushed him back earlier, but he broke through my
barrier as soon as he felt our mate in my arms.
Emma broke the kiss, panting heavily and staring at my chest.
I nuzzled my nose into her hair. “I love you, baby.”
She looked up at me but stayed silent. I didn’t expect her to say it back. I had
a long road of forgiveness ahead of me before I could hear those words come
out of her sweet, addicting mouth. But I needed her to know.
She was my whole word. She came before everything else in my life. I lived
and breathed for her.
“We should go back inside.” Emma said quietly.
I nodded, bending my head and placing a small kiss on her neck. She
shivered, and I smiled.
“Let’s go, baby.” I said as I took her hand in mine and pulled her back into
the house.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT – I messed up
Emma POV
I messed up.
I should have never let him kiss me.
Now I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t stop thinking about his lips
on mine, his hands on my body, and his scent all around me.
I messed up pretty bad.
I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I was painfully aware of him
sleeping in the room opposite mine. He’s already moved in.
Every part of my body wanted to run to him. I wanted to feel his hands on
me. I wanted to feel his lips on my neck. I wanted to sink my canines into his
neck, marking him and letting everybody know that he was mine.
But the voice inside my head kept screaming at me. I felt like I was tied up to
my own bed, unable to do what my body craved to do.
And I knew that the voice was right.
Logan didn’t want me. He would soon realize that I was still the same small,
weak she-wolf he rejected. Only this rejection would hurt so much more. It
would probably kill me.
I was already battling with the memories from the cave. I had a hard time
stopping Rolf’s words from constantly repeating in my mind. I could still
smell that awful smell of wolfsbane mixed with my own blood. I could still
see the orange hue that fire created on the cave walls. I could still feel the
cold floor of the cave on every part of my body.
My body was out, but my brain was still trapped inside that cave.

And I wasn’t sure I was ever going to get out.
If I added the pain of his rejection on top of all that, I didn’t know if I would
be strong enough to keep on going. Especially now that I got a taste of him,
now that I knew what it felt like to have his hands on my body.
I groaned and closed my eyes.
This was going to be so hard.
It would be so much easier if he stayed in the packhouse. I wouldn’t have to
see him all the time. I wouldn’t have to feel him close to me. I wouldn’t be
surrounded by his scent all the time.
I opened my eyes and sighed.
‘Eliza?’ I called my wolf.
‘Yes, Emma?’ she responded sleepily.
‘Are you up for a run?’ I asked, hoping she would say yes.
I really needed to get out of here just for a little while. His scent was driving
me crazy. I was seconds away from running to him.
‘Run?’ Eliza asked, and I could feel her getting excited.
I hadn’t shifted since my birthday. I knew Eliza wanted to be set free again.
‘Yes.’ I responded. ‘I need to get out of here for a while.’
She understood immediately. ‘Let’s go, Em.’
I got out of bed quietly and walked to my closet. I pulled a hoodie over my
pajamas and put on a pair of sweats. I put on socks and sneakers and walked
over to my window, opening it as quietly as I could.
I knew that I couldn’t go out through the front door. I would wake up
Andrew and Logan, and they wouldn’t be happy with me wanting to go for a

run in the middle of the night. Maybe they wouldn’t forbid me to go, but they
would surely want to come with me, and that would mess up my plans of
getting away from Logan for a little while.
I climbed out of my window carefully and jumped off the roof. I landed in
soft snow. I stayed crunched down for a few moments, waiting to see if
Logan or Andrew woke up.
When I couldn’t hear anything, I stood up and walked to the tree line.
I removed my clothes and folded them in a pile under the tree. I was
shivering, and I couldn’t wait to shift.
‘Ready, Em?’ Eliza asked me.
‘Yes.’ I said with a small smile.
I closed my eyes and let Eliza take over. It wasn’t as painful as the first time,
but it wasn’t comfortable either.
‘I’m sorry, Emma.’ Eliza said. ‘We haven’t shifted in a while. It will get
easier.’
‘It’s okay.’ I smiled and opened my eyes.
Well, my wolf’s eyes. I looked down and saw my white paws.
The combination of snow and moonlight made me look like I was glowing. I
grinned and took off.
I was running through the woods, feeling the cold air brush through my fur.
The feeling was amazing. The fresh air helped me clear my mind. Now that I
was away from Logan and his scent, I could think clearly. I couldn’t let him
kiss me again. I couldn’t let him touch me again. Not until I had time to think
about everything. Not until I had time to decide what to do.
‘Are you going to reject him?’ Eliza whined after listening to my thoughts.
‘I don’t know.’ I sighed. ‘He doesn’t want me, Eliza.’

‘He does!’ she exclaimed. ‘Leon wants us. Logan wants us. Logan regrets
rejecting us, Emma. He loves us.’
‘He is going to remember why he rejected me in the first place.’ I said.
‘Nothing’s changed. I’m still the same girl he didn’t want. I won’t be able to
survive the next rejection, Eliza. It will kill me.’
‘How are we going to live in this pack with him close?’ she whined again.
‘We would still want him. It would be torture.’
‘I was thinking of leaving for a while.’ I shrugged. ‘Visit other packs, travel,
get some new experiences.’
Eliza gasped. ‘What about Andrew and Asher? I don’t want to leave my
brother, Emma!’
‘We would come back, Eliza.’ I sighed. ‘We wouldn’t leave forever.’
Before she could respond, I heard the panicked voices of Andrew and Logan
in my mind.
EMMA! They screamed at the same time.
I got so scared I stopped abruptly, tripped over my own feet, and landed
snout-first into the snow.
Shit.
Where are you?! I could hear Logan’s panicked voice.
Come back right now! Andrew shouted.
I stood up and shook the snow off of my fur.
What’s wrong? I mind-linked them back. I’m close by. I just wanted to go
for a run. I’m fine.
Come back, Emma. Andrew said. Right now. It’s not safe.

Not safe? What was he talking about?
I looked around. I wasn’t even close to the border, and I was completely
alone.
Did the rogues attack somewhere else?
Not safe? I asked them as I turned around to run back to my house. Is it the
rogues?
Just come back right now, baby, please. Logan’s scared voice filled my
mind.
Eliza purred at the sound of his voice, and I sighed.
Convincing her that leaving him was the best option for us would be hard.
After about 15 minutes, I came back home.
Logan and Andrew were pacing nervously around the tree where I left my
clothes. They were wearing sweats only, making me wonder how the hell
they weren’t freezing their asses off right now.
I could see the perfection of Logan’s body. The muscles on his arms were
huge. His stomach looked hard and soft at the same time. The V line going
into his sweats made me want to drool. He was perfect. I wanted to touch
him. I wanted everybody to know that he was mine.
But I knew that would never be true. He would never be mine.
As soon as they heard me approach, they snapped their heads toward me.
“Oh, thank fuck.” Andrew mumbled, picking up my clothes from the ground.
Logan gasped. It was the first time he saw Eliza. He walked up to me,
running his hand through my fur. Eliza purred, making me frown. Even in my
wolf form, Logan was taller than me.
He cupped my wolf head into his large hands and placed a kiss on my snout.

“You are beautiful, baby.” he mumbled.
“Let her shift, Logan.” Andrew said as he tried to remove the snow from my
clothes.
Logan stepped away and turned around. Andrew placed the clothes in front of
me, turning around as well.
I shifted back and put my wet clothes on.
“What happened?” I asked as soon as I was done.
Logan and Andrew turned around and wrapped their arms around me.
“You are okay.” Andrew mumbled, making me confused.
Why wouldn’t I be okay?
They let me go and started pulling me inside the house.
“You need to change into some dry clothes.” Logan said as he opened the
back door. “When you are done, come back downstairs.”
“We need to talk, love.” Andrew finished, placing a kiss on the top of my
head.

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE – The White Wolf
Logan POV
When one of my patrol guards mind-linked Andrew and me and told us that
he saw a white wolf running through the forest, my heart almost gave out.
I kept picturing someone taking her away from me again. I was so afraid she
would disappear again.
Andrew was a wreck. He almost destroyed the whole house when we found
her empty bed.
We had no choice. We had to tell her the truth.
Emma came back downstairs wearing a dry pair of sweatpants and a simple
long-sleeved black shirt. She looked amazing. She would look amazing
wearing a trash bag, as far as I was concerned.
She sat down on the armchair opposite us and raised her eyebrow.
“Will you tell me what’s wrong?” she asked, looking at Andrew. “I know I
shouldn’t have gone away in the middle of the night without telling you first,
but it was just a short run. I was nowhere near the border.”
“Why were you out in the middle of the night in the first place?” Andrew
sighed.
“I couldn’t sleep.” she shrugged.
Goddess, I wanted to kiss her so bad.
Andrew ran a hand through his hair and leaned his elbows on his knees.
“You are right.” he said quietly. “You shouldn’t have gone outside in the
middle of the night without telling me, but it’s not about the run, Emma. It’s

about your safety.”
“My safety?” she asked, confused. “Sienna and Rolf are locked up, aren’t
they?”
Andrew and I growled when she said their names. Yes, they were locked up,
and they would never leave. The only way out was death, and neither Andrew
nor I were willing to give them that anytime soon. They had a lot to pay for.
Every time Emma got scared or had a flashback, the list of their debts
increased. They were going to be in my cellar for a very long time.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Emma started panicking when we didn’t respond right away.
“Oh, Goddess, did they escape?” she said, her eyes widening.
Her breaths were getting short and fast, and her eyes kept glancing from me
to Andrew.
“No, baby, don’t worry.” I said, trying to stay calm. “They are locked up.”
She visibly relaxed before getting confused again. “Why am I in danger
then?”
“Do you remember the day Alpha Drake came to visit our pack?” Andrew
asked her.
Emma nodded and gulped. It was the day before Sienna kidnapped her.
“Well, he didn’t just come for dinner.” Andrew continued. “He came to give
us information he got about the Rogue King and the attacks on our packs.”
Emma furrowed her eyebrows. “Okay.”
“Drake managed to capture one of the rogue wolves who attacked his pack.”
I continued. “He managed to get information out of him. We noticed that the
Rogue King attacked only the packs whose Alphas were mateless, but we
didn’t know why. Drake managed to get the rogue to tell us the reason.”

“What is the reason?” Emma asked.
I glanced at Andrew, who gave me a small nod.
“The Rogue King believes that one of us has a very powerful mate.” I said
slowly. “She is supposed to be the greatest Luna that ever existed. She is a
True Luna. The Rogue King wants her for himself. He wants to mark her and
mate with her because he believes she will give him powerful offspring. His
plan is to use her and take over the packs.”
Talking about another man wanting to mark my mate made me want to throw
up. I could barely finish speaking. The need to grab her and never let go only
grew as I continued talking. Just the thought of her with someone else made
my blood boil and my body burn.
Emma furrowed her eyebrows. “What does that have to do with me?”
“Drake asked the rogue he captured about that she-wolf.” Andrew continued.
“He wanted to know how the Rogue King would know who that she-wolf is.”
Andrew stopped to take a deep breath. My heart started beating painfully fast.
“What did the rogue say?” Emma asked quietly.
“The rogue said they were told to look for a pure white wolf.” Andrew said
slowly.
Emma froze. She was staring at Andrew without moving a muscle. I wanted
to take her into my arms and tell her that he would never touch her. I wanted
to tell her she was safe with me. I would never let anyone, or anything hurt
her again.
“Emma?” Andrew called her after a few minutes of complete silence.
“I am a pure white wolf.” she mumbled, not moving her gaze from Andrew.
“Yes.” he nodded slowly. “You are the True Luna, love. Which is why it is
not safe for you to shift and show your wolf to anyone.”

“He still doesn’t know about you, and we need to make sure it stays like
that.” I continued, making her look at me. “You can’t shift and go on a run,
baby. You can’t tell anyone about this, not until we deal with him.”
Well, he suspected that she was in this pack, but he didn’t know for sure. And
he wouldn’t get a chance to confirm it. I would deal with him before he did.
She was staring at me with an unreadable expression on her face. I wasn’t
even sure she heard me. What was she thinking about?
“Emma, baby, did you hear what I said?” I asked carefully, leaning toward
her and placing my elbows on my knees.
I wanted to hold her, but I knew that she needed a little space right now. I
didn’t want to push her, especially now when I was on thin ice with her.
I saw tears forming in her eyes. She tried to take a breath, but it was
interrupted when a sob escaped her.
Andrew and I were on our feet in a second. We wanted to go to her, but she
stopped us when she raised her hands.
She looked at me, and the tears fell on her cheek.
My heart was breaking in a million pieces. Seeing her cry felt like I was
being stabbed repeatedly.
“What’s wrong, baby?” I asked, my voice breaking. “Are you scared? Please
don’t be scared. He will never touch you. He will never breathe near you. I
will never let anything happen to you again, baby.”
“Is that why you suddenly changed your mind about me?” she asked quietly.
“Is that why you suddenly accepted me? Now that I’m supposedly powerful,
I am good enough to be your mate and Luna?”
I felt like someone poured a bucket of ice water all over me.
I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t think.

I was an idiot.
Of course she would think that. How did I not see this coming? Oh, Goddess,
what should I do?
‘I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU, LOGAN!’ Leon screamed, clawing
to be set free.
I ignored him and pushed him to the back of my mind.
Andrew took a step toward her, but she stopped him.
“Don’t come near me, Andrew.” she said. “How long have you known?”
Andrew looked like she stabbed him. His own pup telling him to stay away
from her was hurting him.
“From the day Sienna took you.” Andrew said, his voice laced with pain.
“We had a meeting with Drake in the interrogation room that morning.”
I still couldn’t move. I was frozen. I wanted to hold her, but I knew she
wouldn’t let me.
“Is that why you searched for me?” she asked, sobbing. “I was worth
something to you because you found out that I am powerful?”
My heart broke in half.
“Goddess, Emma, no!” Andrew said, stepping toward her.
She tried to step back, but he grabbed her and pinned her against his chest.
“You are my sister.” he said, tears falling down his face. “I searched for you
because I love you. I searched for you because I can’t live without you. It had
absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you are the True Luna and
absolutely everything to do with the fact that you are my whole life.”
She stopped fighting him, but she didn’t hug him back. I could hear her

sobbing, and it made me move. My instinct to protect my mate worked its
magic, and I was next to her in a second.
I placed my arm on her back, and she froze. I tried to ignore it.
“Emma, baby, I love you.” I said quietly. “I was an idiot when I rejected you,
and I realized that even before I found out about you being the True Luna. I
would want you either way, baby.”
She stopped crying and lifted her head from Andrew’s chest. She looked at
me with those blue eyes I adored.
“I need some time alone.” she said quietly, taking a step back from me and
Andrew.
Andrew tried to grab her arm, but she didn’t let him.
“Please, Andrew.” she said. “I need to think.”
She turned around, not waiting for us to respond. She ran upstairs, and we
heard her shut and lock her bedroom door.
“Fuck!” Andrew said, sitting back down and burying his face into his hands.
I clenched my fists. I was ready to burn the world down.

CHAPTER FIFTY – Hurt
Emma POV
I felt like I was going to throw up.
I was angry. I was hurt. I was terrified.
I didn’t know when or how, but I found myself kneeling on my bathroom
floor, trying to empty my stomach into the toilet.
My whole body was shaking, and I wasn’t sure if it was because of anger or
how scared I was.
He was after me. He wanted me. He was going to take me.
Nobody could help me. Nobody could save me.
Suddenly, I wished I was back in that cave with Rolf. At least he planned on
killing me. At least my suffering would have been short.
The Rogue King wanted to mark me. He wanted to make me his. He wanted
me to give birth to his children. He wanted to use me.
But why me? There was nothing special about me. I wasn’t powerful. There
was nothing special about me.
A panicked sob escaped my lips.
Oh, Goddess, what do I do?
I couldn’t let him take me. I had to do something. I had to run. I had to hide.
My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to break my rib cage
and jump out of my body.
I couldn’t stop shaking.

‘Andrew and Logan will never let him hurt us.’ Eliza whined, making the
pain in my heart increase tenfold.
‘Are you kidding me?’ I growled at her. ‘Logan only changed his mind once
he found out that I was powerful! He didn’t want me before that, Eliza! I
don’t want his help. I don’t need his help.’
‘He wanted you! Leon told me everything!’ she cried out. ‘He always did,
Emma. Please, talk to him. Let him explain.’
‘There is nothing to explain.’ I said angrily. ‘He will never touch me again. I
will never be his.’
Eliza whined loudly, and I blocked her. I couldn’t handle her pain. My own
was more than enough.
I sat down on the cold floor with my head between my knees.
I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to think. I could only sob and
feel the pain in my heart.
I should have known something happened. Logan loved his pack more than
anything. He would never change his mind without a good reason. I guessed
that me supposedly being a powerful Luna was a good enough reason. Well,
of course it was. It would help him with his pack.
I was nothing to him but a means to an end.
I just wanted to be loved for who I was. I wanted to be loved because I was
Emma, not because I was the True Luna.
And the only one who’s ever loved me just because I was Emma was Jake.
He never cared if I was small or weak. He trained me, not to make me
stronger for his benefit, but to help me defend myself better. He did it for me,
and he didn’t expect anything back. He loved me even when he found out I
was not his mate.

I just wished that I could love him back the same way. I wished that he was
my mate.
Maybe he could be.
Maybe I wasn’t the True Luna. Maybe I wasn’t even pure white. I probably
had other colors on my fur, but they were well hidden and we didn’t notice
them.
If I could prove that I wasn’t a pure white wolf, Logan would surely reject
me again. I would be free to accept Jake as my chosen mate.
I would be free. I would live a peaceful, happy life with a mate who loves
me.
I could feel Eliza’s pain increasing. I could hear her muffled whine. I forced
her even further back into my mind. I couldn’t deal with her pain right now.
She would get used to it. She would have to accept my decision.
With that newfound hope, I pushed myself off of the floor and stood up.
I decided to go to Amy, shift, and make her examine every part of my body.
There had to be different colors on my body. I couldn’t be the True Luna. I
was nothing special.
I checked the time and saw it was 6 am. Amy would have to get up a little
earlier today.
I put my sneakers on, tied my hair into a ponytail and grabbed my jacket.
I left my room and walked downstairs.
I could hear Logan and Andrew’s voices. They were still in the living room.
Their heads snapped toward me as soon as they heard me coming.
“Where are you going?” Andrew asked, standing up abruptly.
“To see Amy.” I said coldly.

I was mad at him. He knew what Logan was doing to me, and he said
nothing. He should have warned me to not trust Logan. He should have said
something. But I guessed that he kept quiet because I was supposed to be
powerful and it would be beneficial to his pack. He was using me just like
Logan was.
My heart was breaking, but I had to accept the truth.
“Why?” Logan asked. “You can’t tell her, Emma. It’s not safe.”
My anger rose. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath.
“I can and I will.” I growled. “She is my best friend. She is the only one I can
trust right now!”
“That’s not true, Emma.” Andrew said, shaking his head. “You can trust us.”
“It’s a little late for that, Andrew.” I said, turning around and walking toward
the door.
Two arms wrapped around me, picking me up and sending tingles down my
body.
“Let me go!” I shouted, trying to wiggle my way out of his arms.
“No.” Logan growled in my ear. “You are not leaving this house until you
talk to us.”
He sat down on the couch, placing me on his lap and locking his arms around
me. I looked at him over my shoulder, sending him an angry glare.
“I don’t want to talk to you.” I growled.
“Too bad.” Logan shrugged. “I’m not letting you go. You won’t put yourself
in danger. Nobody can know and nobody will know, Emma.”
Andrew walked toward us and sat on the coffee table in front of Logan and
me.

“You have every right to be angry, Emma.” Andrew said, placing his hand on
my knee. “But don’t put yourself in danger, please. Amy can’t know, for your
safety and hers. If she doesn’t know, she is not worth anything to the Rogue
King.”
I glared at him, but his words got to me. Was I really putting her in danger by
telling her? Would he really hurt her? I would never forgive myself if she got
hurt because of me.
“Fine.” I said through my teeth. “I won’t tell her anything. But you need to
do something for me, then.”
“Anything, love.” Andrew said, giving me a small smile.
I could see how sad he was, and it was breaking my heart. But I was way too
angry and hurt to do anything about it.
“I am going to shift and you will look for color in my fur.” I said. “I’m not
the True Luna. I am not strong or powerful. You will find it and we can put
an end to this.”
Logan stiffened beneath me. “What are you talking about?”
“You can reject me again when you see that I’m not strong.” I said, looking
at him over my shoulder. “You can stop using me for your pack and I can
move on and live a peaceful life.”
I wanted to add that I would live a peaceful life with a mate who loved me for
me, but I knew not to push his buttons. I was still his mate, and I knew how
possessive he was. Even though he didn’t really want me, his wolf would
freak out hearing me say that.
The growl that left his body made the entire house shake. I could feel his
chest vibrate. I could see the fury in his eyes.
Andrew gasped and muttered a curse under his breath.
Logan’s hands around me tightened even more. His canines slipped out and

his eyes darted to my neck.
I tried to push away from him, panicking that he would mark me.
“Logan!” Andrew shouted, grabbing me and trying to pull me away from
him.
Logan’s eyes snapped to Andrew. They were a mixture of his and his wolf’s.
“SHE IS MINE!” Logan yelled, ripping me back to him and pinning me to
his chest.
“She is yours, Logan.” Andrew said calmly. “I’m not taking her away. But
you can’t mark her. Not like this.”
I could feel his heart beating frantically. I could feel his chest vibrating. I
could feel his breath on my shoulder.
A few minutes passed before he calmed down slightly.
He buried his nose in my neck and took a deep breath. My body shivered.
“You are mine, Emma.” he said. “You won’t be moving on. I will never
reject you. I will never leave you. I don’t care if you are strong or not. I am
not strong without you. I love you, baby, and nothing and no one will take
you away from me.”

CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE – Leaving?
Andrew POV
Logan calmed down a bit, but he was still upset.
“Let him hold you until he calms down.” I told my sister.
I could see how hurt and angry she was, and it was breaking my heart. She
had every right to be, I knew that, but I wished that she wasn’t. I wished that
she would let me explain.
Judging from the way she was looking at me, I wasn’t sure she would let me
explain anytime soon.
It was killing me.
I wanted to claw my heart out. I wanted to punish myself for being stupid. I
wanted to go back and fix every mistake I’ve ever made.
‘You should have listened to me.’ Asher growled. ‘We wouldn’t be losing our
sister right now.’
My heartbeat quickened. Losing her? What the hell was he talking about?
She was mad, yes, but she would let me explain. She would forgive me.
‘What the fuck are you talking about, Asher?’ I growled back at him.
‘Eliza told me that Emma was talking about leaving the pack to get some
space from Logan.’ Asher whined. ‘That was before you told her the truth.
Who knows what will she do now.’
My body froze. She wanted to leave the pack? She wanted to leave me?
No.

No fucking way I was letting that happen!
My hands went to grab her without thinking. I grabbed her arm, holding on to
her, but not pulling her away from Logan. He would rip my head off right
now. I was already risking a lot of shit just by touching her.
‘She will never leave me.’ I told Asher. ‘I won’t allow it.’
‘Eliza will do what she can to keep her in the pack.’ Asher sighed sadly.
‘Does Leon know?’ I asked, even though I already knew the answer to that
question.
If Leon knew, my house would already be destroyed and maybe even burned
to the ground.
‘Of course not.’ Asher said. ‘He would go insane. Eliza only told me because
she is afraid. She doesn’t want to leave us or Logan and Leon. You know we
don’t communicate much.’
Asher was right. Our wolves didn’t talk to each other much. Mates
communicated more often, but it was mostly lovey-dovey stuff. They shared
our private conversations and thoughts only when they were afraid their
human would do something dangerous, and they only shared it with mates
and family.
Just as Eliza was doing now.
‘Don’t worry, Asher.’ I said, tightening my grip on Emma’s arm. ‘She won’t
leave. I won’t let her.’
‘You better not.’ Asher growled. ‘I will beat your ass myself if you do
something stupid this time.’
I growled back at him before cutting our communication off and focusing
back on Logan and Emma.
Logan seemed better. His canines retracted, and his eyes were back to their
normal color. His nose was buried in Emma’s hair, and he was taking deep

breaths.
“Logan?” I called him carefully.
He lifted his head and looked at me.
“Are you okay?” I asked him quietly.
He looked down at Emma and shook his head.
I felt sorry for him, but I understood Emma as well.
“Can you let me go now?” Emma asked him.
He took a deep breath and loosened his grip on her. She sat up and looked at
him. He placed his hands on her hips, keeping her seated on his lap.
“Emma…” he started to talk, but she interrupted him.
“I don’t want to hear it, Logan.” she said, trying to get out of his grip. “Please
just let me go.”
“I can’t, baby.” Logan mumbled.
“Can you please talk to us?” I asked her quietly, running my fingers through
her hair.
She turned to look at me. “No.”
“Emma, baby…” Logan started talking again, but he was interrupted.
“No.” Emma said angrily. “I’m not your baby! Stop calling me that and let
me go!”
She started to push away from Logan, and he had no choice but to do what
she said. As soon as Logan loosened his grip on her, Emma stood up from his
lap and ran back upstairs without looking at either one of us.
Both Logan and I stared at the stairs long after she was gone.
“What do we do?” Logan asked after a long silence.

“I have no fucking idea.” I groaned, placing my head into my hands. “But I
think we are losing her, Logan.”
“She is so hurt and angry.” he whispered, staring at the stairs and ignoring
my earlier comment.
I didn’t know if he didn’t hear me or if he ignored it on purpose.
“Can you blame her?” I growled, looking up at him. “Is it a little suspicious
when you think about it.”
His head snapped toward me. His anger was back.
“Are you saying that the only reason I want her is because she is the True
Luna?” he growled, his eyes blazing with fury.
“No.” I sighed tiredly. “I know that’s not true, Logan. I am saying that I
understand where she is coming from. It looks that way, man. I am sorry.”
His anger turned into pain, and he sighed, running his hand through his hair.
“I know how it looks.” he cried out. “But it can’t be farther from the truth. I
love her. I want her. I don’t give a fuck about her strength or her power. I just
want Emma. I love Emma.”
“I know.” I mumbled. “You will get her back. I will get her back.”
“What do we do, Andrew?” Logan asked, leaning back on the couch.
“We show her that her being the True Luna has nothing to do with us wanting
her.” I said. “I will repeat it as many times as I need to.”
“What if she doesn’t believe us?” Logan whispered.
“She will.” I said with absolute certainty. “She is hurt and angry now. I will
give her an hour to calm down a little, and I will go talk to her. I always do
that when she is upset. I give her enough time and space to calm her emotions
down, but not enough time and space to spiral into her thoughts.”

“You are a good brother.” Logan said.
I smiled sadly at him. “I could be better.”
I thought about telling Logan what Asher told me, but I decided it wasn’t a
good idea. I really wanted to keep my house intact. I woukd talk to Emma
about it and try to see how serious she was about leaving. If there was
something to worry about, I would tell Logan. If not, he never had to know.
“Do you think she will listen to you?” he asked me, moving his gaze back to
the stairs.
“I don’t know.” I sighed. “I will do my best to convince her to listen.”
“I really hope you will succeed.” Logan sighed. “I can’t live without her,
man.”
“I know.” I mumbled. “Me neither.”
I really hoped that I wouldn’t have to find out what it was like to live without
her. I barely survived the four days she was gone. I couldn’t go through that
again. I would do whatever I had to do to keep her here.

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO – The talk
Emma POV
I was sitting on the floor in my room with my knees pressed against my
chest.
It was hard to breathe. It was hard to stop the tears falling from my eyes.
It was getting really hard keeping Eliza away. She was trying to push
through. She was putting a lot of pressure on the barrier, trying to talk to me.
But I knew what she was going to say, and I didn’t want to listen to her.
My heart felt like it was breaking into a million tiny pieces. I’ve never felt
more alone in my life.
My brother lied to me. My mate only wanted to use me. I couldn’t talk to my
friends because I would put them in danger.
Maybe leaving would be the best option?
I was already considering it before. I wanted some time away from Logan. I
wanted some space so I could decide what to do.
Now, he decided for me.
Leaving now could mean that the Rogue King wouldn’t be able to find me. I
could travel far away and he would never know that Emma Parker existed. I
could settle in a big human city, and he would never be able to find me. He
would probably forget about the White Wolf. Maybe it would become a
legend. I would grow old and live my life peacefully.
Eliza’s cry was so loud that I could hear it through the barrier.
I considered removing the barrier and letting her speak, but I was interrupted

with a knock on the door.
The door opened, and Andrew walked inside.
Shit. I forgot to lock it.
His eyes found me on the floor, and he sighed. He closed the door behind
him, walked over, and sat down in front of me.
He studied my face for a few moments before he sighed and ran his hand
through his hair.
“You are not leaving the pack, Emma.” he said softly.
My breath got caught in my throat. How the hell did he know about that?!
“Eliza told Asher.” Andrew answered the question inside my head.
Shit!
‘Why, Eliza?’ I growled at her, removing the barrier.
‘Asher and Andrew are my brothers too, Emma.’ she whined. ‘We can’t leave
them. We are safest with them. I couldn’t let you do that.’
“It’s my decision, Andrew.” I told my brother, ignoring Eliza.
“I can’t let you do that, Emma.” Andrew responded, shaking his head. “I
can’t let you leave.”
“Why?” I asked. “Because the pack would suffer without me?”
I could see Andrew was hurt by my question. It made my heart clench
painfully. I never wanted to hurt my brother. I loved him the most in this
world. But I was so angry I couldn’t think straight.
“You know that’s not why, Emma.” Andrew said, his voice filled with pain.
I looked down at my hands, trying to swallow the huge lump in my throat. I
knew it wasn’t why he wouldn’t let me go, but my fear and anger blinded me.

Andrew reached out and wiped the tears that fell on my cheek.
“Those four days without you were the hardest days of my life, Em.” Andrew
said softly. “I can’t go through that again. I can’t let you leave. I can’t wake
up in this house without you in it. When you were gone, I haven’t spent a
minute here. I was either out searching for you, or in the packhouse trying to
eat something. I didn’t step foot in this house before you returned.”
I looked up at my brother and saw nothing but sincerity in his eyes. I knew
that he was telling the truth. But why didn’t he tell me about Logan?
“I would never use you, Emma.” he continued. “I wish you weren’t the White
Wolf. I wish you weren’t this awesome future Luna. I just wish you were my
little sister, my little pup. I wish your teenage years were filled with
happiness and laughter and not fear and sadness.”
I was wrong before.
Jake wasn’t the only one who loved me for me.
Andrew did too.
“I am responsible for a lot of that fear and sadness.” he sighed. “I’ve made a
lot of mistakes, Emma. I can’t take them back, but I can apologize. I can
promise to try and be a better brother.”
Tears fell on my cheeks, and I took a deep breath. I moved from the spot I’d
been sitting on for the past hour, climbed on my brother’s lap, and wrapped
my arms around him. I sobbed, burying my head into his neck.
“Oh, love.” Andrew mumbled, wrapping his arms around me tightly. “I am
so sorry, little one.”
He rocked me back and forth, rubbing my back and running his hand through
my hair. It reminded me of when I was a little girl and I came to him when I
got sad or hurt. He would always calm me down like this.
“Why didn’t you tell me about Logan?” I mumbled into his neck.

He stopped rocking back and forth and moved so he could look at me.
“I know how it looks, Emma.” he said. “But he really doesn’t care about that.
He really loves you, Em. Not because you are the White Wolf, not because
you are strong, but because you are you.”
Was he reading my mind?
“I don’t know if I can believe that.” I mumbled, looking down at Andrew’s
shoulder.
“Just give him a chance, love.” Andrew said, kissing my temple. “Let him
explain. I was with him when you were gone, Em. He was broken. He was a
complete mess. In that moment, he couldn’t give a shit about whether you
were weak or strong, or had four eyes and a bald spot. He only wanted you
back.”
I looked up at him and he smiled.
“Do you think he would give his pack to aunt Gloria to run and spend days
next to your bed, waiting for you to wake up, if he only wanted you for your
powers?” he asked, removing the strand of hair from my face. “I had to force
him to go to the bathroom, Emma. I really didn’t want to see my Alpha wet
himself, or worse.”
I chuckled.
“Don’t tell him I said that.” Andrew said, shaking his head in amusement.
“I won’t.” I said, giving him a small smile.
“No, but seriously, Em.” Andrew said, his smile disappearing and his serious
look coming back. “If he wanted you only because of your strength, he would
just wait until you woke up to come and see you. He wouldn’t be there all the
time, refusing to leave the room for a minute in case you woke up.”
I sighed, burying my head back into Andrew’s neck. He wrapped his arms
around me even tighter than before.

“I know you will need some time, Emma.” he whispered. “But please talk to
him when you are ready.”
I didn’t answer. Andrew went back to running his hand through my hair.
“Can you promise me something?” he asked me after a few silent minutes.
“What?” I asked, not looking up.
“Promise me you won’t leave.” he whispered, turning his head and burying
his nose into my hair. “Asher and I can’t live without you, Emma. Eliza can’t
live without us. And I know you can’t either.”
He was right. I couldn’t imagine my life without Andrew in it. As much as I
wanted to run away from Logan, leaving Andrew would break me.
“I promise.” I whispered, making Andrew sigh in relief.
“Thank fuck.” he growled. “Never think about it again, okay? Asher and I
almost had a heart attack. No matter what happens, you can’t leave me,
okay?”
“Okay.” I said, chuckling slightly.
“Good.” Andrew said, kissing the top of my head.
He continued rocking me back and forth, and I could feel his body relax.

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE - Time
Logan POV
I was frozen.
My heart was thumping in my chest, pressing up against my rib cage, trying
to leave my body.
I should be on my feet right now, tearing down the house, burning down the
fucking world.
But I wasn’t. I was sitting on this couch with my fists clenched tight and a
lump the size of the sun lodged in my throat.
I didn’t mean to listen to their conversation. I really didn’t. I had the papers
regarding the increase in our vegetable production in front of me. I was
working. I was focused on the pack.
But then I overheard five words that broke me.
‘Promise me you won’t leave.’
And it was Andrew who said those words. Andrew asked Emma not to leave.
She wanted to leave? She wanted to leave the pack? She wanted to leave me?
My heart broke and the pain almost made me scream.
No.
I wouldn’t let her.
I would do whatever I had to do to make her stay.
She couldn’t leave me. It would kill me. I barely survived those four days
without her.

Leon was howling in pain, and I couldn’t even talk to him right now. I felt
him calling on Eliza in pain. I hoped she could calm him down. I hoped that
she didn’t want to leave us. I hoped that she would stop Emma.
If she couldn’t, I definitely would.
I wasn’t letting her leave. She was fucking mine.
I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and I turned around to see Andrew.
“Where is she?” I asked, panicking and jumping up from the couch.
I was terrified she would leave through the window again. I was going to
have to do something about that. I would put bars on her windows, I didn’t
fucking care. She was mine. She couldn’t leave me.
“She is showering and I’m making her breakfast.” he said, walking toward
the kitchen.
I followed him with my fists clenched tight.
“Why did you make her promise not to leave?” I growled at him as soon as
we entered the kitchen.
He turned to look at me. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open in
surprise.
“You promised you wouldn’t listen, Logan!” he said angrily.
“And I didn’t!” I growled. “I overheard it by accident. I was focused on my
work and my control slipped.”
It was hard for us to control our senses at all times. They were heightened
and we had to suppress them if we wanted to be less simulated by our
environment. That was why all of our bedrooms in the packhouse were
soundproofed. There was nothing worse than hearing your friends or family
fuck. Not to mention what I would do to someone if they heard my mate as
she reached her orgasm. Emma’s screams and moans were mine. I would be
the only man on the planet who would get to see and hear her cum.

Just thinking about it made me hard and I had to stand behind the fucking
kitchen island to hide my erection from my mate’s brother.
Shit.
I was worse than a fucking teenager. My dick kept getting rock hard in the
worst possible situations. I have never been this turned on just thinking about
a woman.
Andrew would kill me if he knew where my mind went just now.
“How come you are not destroying my house right now?” Andrew asked as
he opened the fridge.
“I’m more in pain than I’m angry right now.” I mumbled.
Andrew turned around to look at me. He sighed, placing the carton of eggs on
the kitchen counter.
“She won’t leave.” he said, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning on
the kitchen island.
“How did you figure out she wanted to leave?” I asked him, trying to calm
my heartbeat down.
‘She won’t leave’. I was holding onto those words like they were a life jacket.
“I didn’t.” Andrew shook his head. “Eliza told Asher because she got worried
and scared. Eliza didn’t want to leave, but Emma did.”
I furrowed my eyebrows. Why did she tell only Asher and not Leon?
‘Leon?’ I called him. ‘Did Eliza mention this to you?’
I could feel his blinding anger, but I managed to control him.
‘No.’ he growled. ‘Mark her, Logan. She is not leaving us!’
‘I won’t do it without her consent.’ I growled back at him and pushed him

back into my mind.
I almost marked her earlier. I wanted to. The fear of losing her to another
man made me blind. But I knew how wrong that would be. I knew I would
only push her further away from me. I would have to control Leon because he
could do something stupid like that out of pure instinct. I was territorial, but I
was nowhere as near bad as he was. She was ours, and he wouldn’t let her go.
“Why didn’t she say anything to Leon?” I asked, even though I already knew
the answer to that question.
“Because that would have gone well.” Andrew said, raising an eyebrow at
me. “Leon would have gone insane.”
“You are right.” I sighed, running my hand through my hair. “But she won’t
leave, right?”
“She won’t.” Andrew said. “I talked to her and explained everything. She
will need some time, but she calmed down a bit.”
“Would she listen to me?” I asked, hopeful.
“Eventually.” Andrew nodded. “Give her a little time, Logan.”
I nodded, looking down at my hands. Andrew started making breakfast.
A few minutes later, I heard the door to her room open.
My heart started beating faster. I missed her so fucking much.
She walked into the kitchen, her eyes darting to the floor next to the kitchen
island. My fists clenched. I knew it was the spot the bitch made her kneel.
I would need to visit Sienna again soon.
Emma took a deep breath and walked to Andrew.
“Do you need help?” she asked him.

I admired her. Even in sweats and a hoodie, she was the most delicious thing
I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I wanted to taste her lips again, but I knew it would
probably be a very long time until she let me do that again.
“It’s okay, little one.” Andrew smiled at her. “Are you okay to be in here?”
Emma nodded, sitting on the kitchen island opposite me. I noticed how she
avoided looking at that spot.
“Emma?” I called her and she looked up at me.
Goddess, I wanted to pull her into my arms and kiss her.
“Will you give me a chance to explain?” I asked her, my voice trembling.
She took a deep breath and nodded. I almost cried in relief.
“But not now, Logan.” she said. “I need some time, okay? I’m angry and hurt
and that talk wouldn’t go well for either of us right now.”
Andrew turned around and looked at her with a small smile.
“I’m proud of you.” he said as he kissed the top of her head.
I was jealous. She let him touch her.
“Okay, baby.” I said, giving her a small smile. “I understand. We will talk
when you are ready.”
She nodded, looking back down at her hands. Her eyes glanced over the spot,
and I noticed how she tensed up. Out of instinct, I reached out and took her
hand in mine.
“Nothing and no one can hurt you while I am here.” I told her, gripping her
hand tightly and wishing it was more of her I was touching.
Andrew looked at her, reaching out and wrapping his arms around her from
behind.

“You are safe, Em.” he said.
She was safe. Nothing would happen to her again. No one would hurt her
again. I would hunt them down and kill them if they even thought about
hurting her.
Just as I would hunt the Rogue King down.

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR - Trying
Emma POV
I was sitting in the diner with Amy, sipping my vanilla milkshake.
It’s been three days since I found out who I was, and I’ve been under
constant supervision from my brother and Logan. I couldn’t shift, and they
barely let me out of the house. I fought tooth and nail to be here with Amy
without one of them breathing down my neck.
Andrew and Logan were in the packhouse, picking up on their work. Drake
left to go to his pack, but he said that he would be back here in a few days.
He wanted to help plan the attack on the Rogue King. Logan didn’t want to
wait for him to attack. He said that he wanted to get rid of him before he
found out about me.
The problem was that nobody knew where the Rogue King was. He’d been
hiding for years, operating from the shadows. Andrew and Logan planed on
capturing one of the rogues and trying to get him to talk and tell us where the
Rogue King was hiding.
It was really comforting to know that if he managed to take me away, nobody
would know where to find me.
Note the sarcasm.
I sighed internally, trying to push the thought back into my mind.
“So, are you going to forgive Logan?” Amy asked me, pulling me out of my
thoughts.
I gulped my milkshake down. I didn’t know what to tell her. There was a
whole other problem she wasn’t even aware of, and I couldn’t tell her about it
because I would be putting her in danger.

“I don’t know.” I sighed, stirring my milkshake with my straw. “Would you
forgive him?”
Amy sighed, taking a sip of her milkshake before looking back up at me.
“I don’t have a mate, so I don’t know what a mate bond feels like.” she said.
“But the Goddess can make mistakes. You shouldn’t be with the man who
hurt you just because there is a bond. You should be with someone who loves
you, Emma.”
“Is this your way of telling me I should be with Jake?” I asked her, already
knowing the answer.
She was convinced that Jake and I belonged together.
“Maybe.” she shrugged. “Jake adores you, Emmy. He would never hurt you.
He would love you like you deserve to be loved.”
I tried to picture it. I tried to imagine my life with Jake. Each time I did, my
whole body screamed. The images of Logan touching me and kissing me
flooded my mind. I couldn’t imagine myself with another man. No matter
how badly Logan hurt me, I was his. My body and my soul were his.
“It wouldn’t be fair to him, Amy.” I sighed, trying to push away the image of
our last kiss. “I could never love him like that. He deserves a girl who will
love him with everything she has. He deserves a mate. I can’t be that. I can’t
give him the love he needs.”
“But you love him, Emma.” Amy said, taking my hand in hers.
“I do.” I nodded. “I love him like a friend.”
“That would be enough for him.” she smiled at me.
I shook my head. “It wouldn’t be fair, Amy. I could never do that to him.”
Amy sighed, letting go of my hand and taking another sip of her milkshake.
“What about Logan then?” she asked.

“I’m not sure.” I sighed, pushing the now empty glass away. “I need more
time.”
Amy and I talked for a little while longer. I tried to avoid the topic about
Logan and Jake, because she was adamant about convincing me to leave
Logan and run to Jake. But I couldn’t. My body and my heart kept screaming
at me when I thought about it.
When I noticed that it was getting dark outside, I told Amy I should get
going.
We said our goodbyes, and I walked back home.
When I entered the house, I saw Logan sitting on the couch, scrolling through
his phone.
“Hey, baby.” he smiled at me, making my heart skip a beat.
He insisted on calling me baby, no matter how many times I told him not to. I
gave up eventually.
“Hey.” I said, unwrapping my scarf from around my neck. “Where is
Andrew?”
“Grocery shopping.” he said. “Did you have fun with Amy?”
He motioned for me to sit down next to him. I debated it for a second before I
walked over to him.
“I did.” I said as I sat down. “Any news about the Rogue King?”
“No.” Logan said as he removed a stand of hair from my face.
A shiver went down my spine, and I could feel my lower belly heating up.
Only a light touch from him was required to turn my body into a useless heap
of moaning mess.
Stupid body.

Logan’s fingers touched my neck as he was removing his hand from my face,
and I felt something wet between my legs. I had to stop myself from moaning
loudly.
I wanted to scream at my body.
‘Really?! One touch?!’
Logan’s eyes darkened and he growled.
“Fuck, Emma.” he said, grabbing the back of my neck and pulling me to him.
He leaned his forehead on mine and took a deep breath.
My heart was pounding in my chest, and all my rational thinking was gone. I
wanted him to touch me. I wanted him to kiss me. I couldn’t care less about
him rejecting me again. This feeling was worth all the pain I would go
through.
“You are killing me, baby.” he mumbled, his lips grazing mine as he spoke.
Oh, fuck it!
I grabbed his face with my hands and kissed him.
He pulled me onto his lap, and I straddled him. I could feel how hard he was,
and it was only making me wetter.
His tongue entered my mouth, and I saw fireworks behind my lids. His
tongue massaged mine softly, and I moaned, making him groan and press me
closer to him.
His lips moved from my mouth to my jaw and to the sweet spot on my neck
where his mark would go. He sucked on it gently, making my skin heat up. I
let him trace his mouth and his tongue all over my neck until he brought his
skillful lips back to mine.
I didn’t know where I found the guts to do what I did, but I found myself

biting gently on his lower lip, making him groan and press his hardness
against me. I lowered my head into the crook of his neck and licked his
marking spot, making him cry out. I placed gentle kisses all over his neck up
to his earlobe.
He tasted amazing. I never wanted to taste anything else again.
His hands found their way to my ass, squeezing hard and pressing me against
him. My underwear was definitely ruined.
I licked his earlobe before sucking on it gently. I could feel his hardness
twitch, and a proud feeling washed over me. I was pretty good at this for
someone who never did anything like this before.
He turned his head, capturing my lips with his once again. His tongue
massaged mine again, and I grinded my hips against his.
“Holy fucking shit, Emma.” he growled in my mouth. “I will fuck you right
here and right now if we don’t stop.”
I raised my head, looking into his lustful eyes.
“Don’t get me wrong, baby, I would make love to you right the hell now, but
I think your brother would kill me if he walked in on that.” he said, chuckling
and nipping at my lower lip.
Shit. Andrew.
I completely forgot that he would probably be home soon.
My heartbeat lowered and my skin cooled down. I could think clearly again.
“Does this little make-out session that almost made me cum in my pants like
I was a teenage boy once again mean that you are willing to give me another
chance?” Logan asked, running his nose up and down my jaw, breathing in
my scent.
I chuckled, making him look at me and smile brightly.

I bit my lower lip, and my heartbeat picked up again. Could I do it? Could I
even trust him? I could try. I could give him a chance to show me that he
really did want me.
“I will try.” I said quietly.
The smile on Logan’s face made my heart swell. He grabbed my face in his
hands, kissing me again.
“You are mine, Emma.” he said, leaning his forehead on mine. “I fucking
love you.”

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE – Progress
Logan POV
I slammed my fist against the table.
I couldn’t believe we couldn’t find the fucker.
It was like he didn’t fucking exist!
I felt rage boiling in my veins and the need to destroy my office grew by the
second.
I needed to leave. I needed a distraction.
And what better distraction could there be than my mate in my arms?
My mind went to the make-out session two days ago, and I was rock hard
instantly. The way she kissed me and pushed herself against me almost made
me lose my mind. She tasted fucking amazing and, looking back, I had no
idea how I managed to hold myself back from sinking into her right there in
the middle of the living room.
I needed her right now. I fucking needed her.
Emma, baby? I mind-linked her.
She decided to give me a chance, and I was thrilled. She was still careful and
our relationship looked more like a friendship right now, which bugged the
hell out of me, but it was way more than I could hope for. I was sure she
would reject me and leave me. I kept picturing her with Jacob, and my heart
was breaking. But now, I had hope that I would get my mate back.
Yes? She responded.
Her voice sent shivers down my body, making my erection harden to the

point where it hurt.
Where are you? I asked her, standing up and walking out of my office.
I adjusted myself in my pants, hoping that my erection wasn’t too noticeable.
I couldn’t stay here and wait for it to go down. I needed her now.
Home. She answered.
Are you alone? I asked her. Where is Andrew?
Andrew is at the packhouse. She responded. He is not with you?
He was probably down in the cellar enjoying his time with Rolf or Sienna.
But I didn’t tell her that.
No. I said. I’m on my way to you. I need you, baby.
What happened? She asked, and I could hear worry in her voice.
It made me walk faster. My instinct to calm my mate down made me rush to
her.
Nothing, baby. I sighed. I’m frustrated because we don’t have any leads
on the Rogue King.
Oh. She said. It’s okay. You will find him.
I will, baby. I said softly. He won’t hurt you.
Logan? She called me.
I could hear nervousness in her voice. Why was she nervous?
I am not alone at home. She said slowly.
My heartbeat sped up and I ran toward her house.
Who is there? I growled, even though I had a pretty good idea who it was.

I could feel the heartbeat in my throat. I was a few minutes away.
Jake. She said quietly.
I saw fucking red. He was with her. They were alone. He wanted her. He
could take her. I could lose her.
No. No fucking way. She was mine.
I was in front of her house before I could blink. I ripped the door open and
growled loudly.
The fucker was sitting in the armchair, sipping his coffee. Emma was on the
couch, staring at me wide-eyed.
“Good morning, Alpha.” Jacob said, placing his mug down on the coffee
table.
“Your visit is over, Walters.” I growled, narrowing my eyes at him and
reminding myself that I couldn’t kill him. “Get out.”
“All due respect, Alpha, but this isn’t your house.” the fucker said, crossing
his arms over his chest. “I am Emma’s guest, and I will leave when she tells
me to.”
I saw fucking red. He was pushing the wrong fucking buttons.
“Get out, Jacob.” I commanded him.
“Logan...” Emma started talking, but I stopped her.
“No, Emma.” I growled, not taking my eyes off of him. “He is disrespectful
to his Alpha. I could have him killed. Worst of all, he was sitting all alone
with my mate. I want to kill him for that.”
I heard Emma sigh.
The fucker tried to fight my Alpha command, but it was pointless. He stood
up, glaring at me.

“I will see you soon, Emma.” he said before leaving the house.
“Bye, Jake.” she smiled at him as she stood up to close the front door.
I unclenched my fists and let the scent of my mate calm me down. Emma
turned around with a frown on her face.
“Was that really necessary?” she sighed, walking past me and into the
kitchen.
I scoffed. “Are you kidding me? He was alone with my mate, and he had the
guts to disrespect me. If he wasn’t important to you, I would kill him
immediately.”
Emma leaned on the kitchen island, looking at me confused.
“You care that he is important to me?” she asked quietly.
“I wish that he wasn’t.” I mumbled, running my hand through my hair. “But
he is and I love you, which means I could never hurt you by hurting him.”
Emma stared at me for a few seconds before reaching out to me. I was in
front of her in a second.
I picked her up and sat her down on the kitchen island. I parted her legs and
stood in between them, placing my arms on the island, caging her in.
She raised her hand and caressed my cheek. Shivers went down my spine. I
closed my eyes, leaning into her touch and taking a deep breath. Her scent
filled my lungs completely, and I felt high. She was my drug.
“Thank you.” she said quietly, running her fingers through my short beard.
“It means a lot to me that you consider my feelings when you think about
killing other people.”
She chuckled at the end of the sentence, and I opened my eyes to look at her
smile.

Goddess, she was fucking perfect.
I smiled at her, leaning my forehead on hers and placing my arms around her
waist.
She froze for a second before relaxing into my hold.
“I love you, baby.” I said, placing a kiss on her nose.
She stared at me and bit her lip. I could feel her nervousness.
“You don’t have to say it back, Emma.” I said, tucking a strand of hair
behind her ear and placing a kiss on her jaw. “I know I don’t deserve it yet. I
fucked up, and I have to make up for it. I just want you to know that I love
you.”
She smiled and caressed my cheek. I wanted to kiss her, but she interrupted
me with a question.
“Why were you upset earlier?” she asked. “Before Jake. Was it just because
of the Rogue King or did something else happen?”
I sighed, leaning my forehead on her shoulder. She placed her hand on my
head, running her fingers through my hair.
“Nothing else.” I said. “I am just pissed off because I can’t find him.”
“You will.” she said quietly.
I didn’t need to talk. I needed her.
I moved my head slightly to the right, pressing my lips to her neck. She
moaned quietly, but it was enough to make me rock hard again. I found the
spot I would soon sink my canines into and sucked on it gently.
Emma’s legs wrapped around my waist, and she pressed me closer to her. I
could smell her arousal and it was driving me fucking crazy.
I traced my lips across her neck, to her jaw, and finally to her mouth,

silencing her moans.
Her hands tangled up in my hair, pulling me closer.
I pressed her against my chest, massaging her tongue with mine.
I was in complete and total ecstasy.
I wanted her so fucking bad, but I knew I had to wait. I could see that she was
still unsure of me and my intentions. I could see that she still didn’t trust me
completely. She was still fighting with herself and the mate bond. She was
giving into the physical aspects of the mate bond, but she still wasn’t in this
relationship mentally and emotionally. Not completely, at least. She needed
time and I would give it to her.
As much as I wanted to bury myself inside of her and make her scream my
name, I knew I had to wait for her to trust me completely. I knew I had to
wait for her to accept the mate bond and stop questioning my intentions.
Until then, I would take what I can get from her and I would give her
everything I had to offer.

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX – New information
Andrew POV
Trigger warning: torture scenes.
I was running low on patience.
This motherfucker thought that he could play with me. He thought that he
could lie to me.
Six missing fingers and a couple of broken teeth later, he finally decided to
talk.
Too bad I wasn’t satisfied with what I was hearing.
He was now full of wolfsbane with stab wounds and cuts all over his body.
He wasn’t going to heal until I got my answers. I wouldn’t stop until I got my
answers.
I would find the Rogue King. I would find him and I would kill him. He
wasn’t getting Emma. He would never touch her. Hell, he would never
breathe near her. I would destroy him before he got a chance to.
“Where is he?” I asked calmly, slicing through his thigh.
He screamed in pain, shaking his head.
“I don’t know, please.” he cried out. “I really don’t know.”
I sighed, placing my hands on my hips. “You realize that I don’t really like
your answer, right? I need to hear something else coming from your mouth
before I burn them with wolfsbane.”
Rogue’s eyes widened in fear.

“I don’t know!” he shouted. “I swear I don’t!”
“You were giving orders on the field.” I said, turning around and looking
through the knives in our collection. “You are high up. You are not an
ordinary rogue wolf. You know something.”
The rogue remained silent. I picked up the largest knife on the tray and turned
around.
The fucker had a smirk on his face.
I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw.
“I don’t know where he is.” he said. “But I do know what he wants. Or
should I say, who he wants.”
My anger rose rapidly.
I grabbed his neck and squeezed. He turned red and his eyes popped out. The
smirk on his face disappeared.
“Speak.” I gritted my teeth, putting a Beta order behind my words.
Too bad it didn’t work on him. He was a rogue, and no matter the pressure
behind my words, my orders didn’t work on him. It made me feel better,
though.
He stayed silent. I let out my claws and sliced the skin on the back of his
neck. He started trashing in my hold.
“You are not getting out of this room alive.” I growled at him. “But if you
don’t tell me what I want to know, your torture will never end. I will let you
heal and torture you again until you are at the brink of death. It will continue
forever. Wherever I am frustrated or angry, I will come to you to let out my
frustration on your body.”
His eyes widened, and I saw fear. I smirked and squeezed his neck tighter.
“But if you tell me what I want to know, I will kill you quickly.” I continued.

“The torture stops here and you are free.”
I let go of his neck, allowing him to breathe normally. I stepped back and
leaned on the steel table behind me.
The rogue gasped loudly, trying to force air into his lungs.
“So, what’s it going to be?” I asked calmly. “Are you speaking to me, or am I
continuing this fun session we’ve been having?”
The rogue took another deep breath before looking up at me.
“There is a girl in this pack.” he said, his voice raspy from the lack of
oxygen. “She is supposed to be very powerful. He wants her.”
My breathing picked up and my heart started beating impossibly fast.
Shit!
He knew about her!
“A girl?” I asked, trying to keep Asher from coming out.
I needed to find as much as I could, and letting Asher shift was not the way.
“Yes.” the rogue nodded. “She is the future Luna of this pack. Well, she is
supposed to be anyway. Your Alpha rejected her and my Alpha wants her. He
is coming to get her.”
‘Let me out, Andrew!’ Asher screamed. ‘He is taking about my pup! I will
fucking kill him!’
I used all of my strength to push him back. My heart hammered in my chest
and I wanted to run to Emma and make sure she was okay.
Logan? I mind-linked him.
Yes? He responded immediately.
Where are you? I asked.

At your house. He said. Why? Did something happen?
Is Emma with you? I asked, ignoring his question.
She is. He responded. What’s going on, Andrew?
Stay with her. I growled, ignoring him again. Don’t let her out of your
sight. Call Drake and tell him to meet us at my place.
Wha… Logan started talking, but I cut our mind-link.
I could feel him trying to force it open, but I pushed back. I needed to know
everything, and I didn’t have time to tell him what I found out. I would do
that later. Also, I didn’t need to hear his panicked voice in my head. It would
only distract me. I hoped that he wouldn’t use the Alpha command. It would
force our link to open.
Drake was coming back today, so we could exchange information. I was
hoping he knew something we could use against the Rogue King. I needed to
get as much information from this fucker as I could.
“Does he know who she is?” I asked, growling.
“He doesn’t know her name, but he knows what she looks like.” the rogue
answered.
Fuck!
I growled loudly, making the rogue smirk.
“Do you know her?” he taunted me. “Is she someone important to you? I
know she is not important to your Alpha. He wouldn’t reject her if she was.”
I launched myself at him, grabbing his neck and squeezing again.
“Shut the fuck up!” I growled in his face. “Don’t make me change my mind
about killing you quickly.”

The rogue’s eyes widened even further. I let him go and stepped back. I took
a deep breath and ran my hand through my hair.
“How the fuck does he know that my Alpha rejected her?” I asked, growling.
“The dark witch told him.” the rogue said, taking deep breaths. “She saw
everything. By rejecting her, he only made it easier for the Rogue King. The
girl isn’t marked or mated. He won’t have to remove her mark when he gets
her.”
My heart stopped.
Remove her mark?
That was impossible.
“What the fuck are you talking about?!” I growled, bending over and getting
into his face. “It’s impossible to remove a mate’s mark.”
The fucker smirked in my face. I was seriously considering keeping him as a
punching bag.
“It’s not.” he said. “It can be done with dark magic.”
“How?” I growled loudly, clenching my fists.
“Do I look like a witch to you?” the rogue smirked again. “I don’t know. I do
know that the Rogue King doesn’t want to do it because it is dangerous. She
could die in the process. He needs her alive.”
I growled, raising my fist and punching the fucker as hard as I could. His
head snapped back and he fell unconscious.
I ran out of the cell, growling and trembling.
He would never get her! I would fucking kill him!
“Pump him full of wolfsbane, but don’t let him die!” I shouted at the guard
standing in front of the cell.

I ran upstairs to Logan’s bedroom. I needed a shower and a change of
clothes. All I really wanted to do was run back home to my sister, but I knew
that Emma would freak out if she saw me like this. I was covered in blood. It
was stuck to my skin and my clothes were drenched.
Where the fuck is Drake? I asked Logan as I opened our mind-link again.
Did he arrive?
Fuck, Andrew! Logan growled at me. Where the fuck are you? What is
going on?
I have some new information about the Rogue King. I growled. I’m at the
pack house, taking a shower. I will be home soon. I’m covered in blood. I
don’t want Emma to see me like this.
Logan growled and cut our mind-link.
He never told me if Drake arrived.
I didn’t really care. All I wanted was to go home and feel my sister in my
arms.

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN – Remove the mark?
Logan POV
I gripped Emma’s waist tighter.
I was sitting on the couch, watching TV when Andrew mind-linked me for
the first time.
I got so freaked out that I went up to Emma’s room and pulled her out of
there. I made her sit on the couch with me and watch TV. She complained the
entire time because I interrupted her reading. I ignored her completely.
Andrew said to keep an eye on her, and I would do just that. I missed her
anyway, and I wanted her close to me.
Now that Andrew had told me he had new information, I was even more
freaked out. Andrew sounded afraid and angry.
“Is everything okay?” Emma asked me as she tried to move away from me.
I grabbed her tighter, pulling her closer.
“You are hurting me, Logan.” she said quietly.
I let her go immediately. My heart broke in my chest. I hurt her.
“Goddess, baby, I am so sorry.” I whined, wrapping an arm around her waist
gently this time. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“It’s okay.” she said. “What’s wrong?”
“Andrew mind-linked me.” I sighed, leaning in and running my nose across
her jaw. “He has new information about the Rogue King.”
Emma stiffened. “What information?”

“He didn’t say.” I mumbled, placing a kiss on her cheek. “But don’t worry,
baby. He won’t touch you.”
Emma was silent. She bit her lower lip, and I could tell that she was nervous.
Watching her bite her lower lip like that made me want to do it myself. I
imagined sucking and biting on her lower lip while she moaned.
Shit.
Not now, Logan.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.
“You don’t know that, Logan.” Emma’s quiet voice snapped me out of my
thoughts. “He could take me away.”
The fear exploded inside of me. I immediately wrapped my arms around her,
pulling her against my chest.
“No.” I growled. “He will not take you away from me. No one will take you
away from me. You are mine.”
The word kept repeating itself in my mind.
Mine.
Mine.
She was fucking MINE.
Every piece of her body and soul was mine. Nobody would touch her.
Nobody would have her.
MINE!
My heart was hammering in my chest, and the only thing stopping me from
shifting was Emma’s scent around me. I felt her breath on my neck and
focused on that.

“What if he hurts Andrew?” Emma whispered. “Or you?”
“He won’t, baby.” I mumbled, burying my nose into her hair. “He will not
hurt us. He will not take you away. I won’t let him.”
Emma relaxed in my arms, and the happiness I felt was immeasurable. My
baby trusted me. She felt safe with me. She was relaxed next to me. It was a
huge step forward, and it made me want to jump up and scream with
happiness.
A knock on the door interrupted us.
I let Emma go, and she wanted to stand up. I stopped her immediately. I
knew it was Drake, and I didn’t want him near her. He wanted her, and she
was mine.
I stood up, walked to the front door, and opened it. Drake was standing there
with a smile on his face.
“Hi, Logan.” he greeted me.
“Drake.” I nodded, stepping aside so he could come inside.
He walked inside the house and looked at Emma immediately. She was
standing in the living room with a small smile on her beautiful face.
“Hello, Emma.” he said, a huge smile spreading across his face. “It is so good
to see you again. How are you?”
I growled, rushing back to her. I placed an arm around her waist and glared at
Drake.
Mine. Fucking mine.
He ignored me completely, his eyes never leaving her.
“I’m fine, Alpha Drake.” she said politely. “Please, sit down. Can I get you
anything to drink?”

“It’s Drake, Emma.” he said, sitting down on the couch. “And I would like a
beer if you have one, please.”
Emma nodded, looking up at me. “Would you like something as well?”
“Beer as well.” I said, bending down and placing a kiss on her forehead.
“Thank you, baby.”
Emma walked away, giving another small smile to Drake.
Jealousy stabbed at my heart.
“So, she has forgiven you?” Drake asked as soon as she left the living room.
“Sort of.” I sighed, sitting down. “I’m still gaining her trust.”
“She is definitely worth it.” Drake chuckled.
I growled, narrowing my eyes at him. “Back the fuck off.”
Drake raised his hands like he was surrendering. “I won’t do anything,
Logan.”
I opened my mouth to tell him that he would never get a chance to do
anything anyway, but I was interrupted when the door slammed open and a
furious Andrew barged inside.
My eyes widened. He looked ready to kill.
He looked around the room and growled. “Where is Emma?”
Before we could respond, Emma came back from the kitchen with two beers
in her hands.
Andrew growled, rushed toward Emma, and pulled her to him. The bottles
almost fell out of her hands.
I stood up and took them from her hands. I gave one to Drake and put mine
down on the coffee table.

Emma hugged Andrew. He picked her up and sat down in the armchair with
her on his lap.
“What happened?” Emma asked him.
“I got some information out of the rogue in the cellar.” Andrew growled,
tightening his arms around Emma.
“How?” Emma asked him.
Andrew glanced at me. I knew how, but Emma didn’t need to know.
“I was persuasive.” Andrew said.
Emma sighed. She probably knew what he meant by that, but she didn’t ask
any further.
“What did he say?” Drake asked, leaning his elbows on his knees.
“He knows about Emma.” Andrew growled, making my heart stop beating.
“He doesn’t know her name, but he knows what she looks like.”
I saw Emma’s eyes widen in fear. She tensed up in Andrew’s arms.
I was frozen. My fists were clenched, and my canines slipped out. I wanted to
grab Emma and wrap her in my arms, but I couldn’t fucking move.
“Anything else?” Drake asked angrily.
Andrew nodded, his eyes blazing with fury. Andrew glanced at me, and I
knew that what he was going to say next would probably make me want to
burn the house to the ground.
“The Rogue Kind knows that Logan rejected his mate.” Andrew said slowly.
“A dark witch told him that would happen. He is glad because if Emma was
marked, he would have to remove her mark.”
The room was completely silent after Andrew finished speaking.

Remove her mark?
That was impossible. Nothing and nobody could remove a mate’s mark.
Just the thought of it made me sick.
“That’s impossible.” Drake mumbled.
Andrew shook his head. “Apparently not. A witch can do something about
that, but it’s dangerous. The one having the mark removed could die in the
process.”
My heart stopped beating.
My claws flew out.
A growl escaped me.
I saw Emma shaking in fear, and my body finally moved.
I jumped toward Andrew, grabbed Emma out of his hands, and pressed her
against my chest.
She was shaking, and small sobs escaped her lips. My heart broke into a
million tiny pieces.
“He won’t hurt you, baby.” I whispered to her. “I won’t let him.”
I sat down with her in my arms. She straddled me and wrapped her arms
around my neck. I kept rubbing her back soothingly. I could feel her fear, and
it made me want to burn the world down.
I looked at Andrew over her shoulder. He looked murderous. He was staring
at Emma, and I could see how much he wanted to rip her from my arms and
back into his.
I gripped her tighter, placing a kiss on top of her head.
“What the fuck are we going to do?” Drake growled after a few minutes of

silence.

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT – Stay inside
Emma POV
To say that I was shocked was a complete understatement.
I was completely shaken. A mate’s mark could be removed? I could die in the
process?
I pressed myself closer to Logan. I needed him. I needed his comfort and the
safety of his arms.
I was slowly falling for him. I still fought with myself, but it was really hard.
Especially when he was around all the time and when I could feel his lips on
mine whenever I wanted. I was getting addicted to the taste of him and I was
slowly heading to the point of no return.
I still wanted to slow down. A voice inside of my mind didn’t stop screaming
at me. I was still afraid he would reject me. I still thought he wanted me only
because I was the True Luna. But the voice screaming at me slowly got
quieter and all my feelings for him started overwhelming me.
It was a huge battle inside of me, but now I needed him. I needed him to hold
me and tell me that he would never let anyone take me away from him.
“She can’t leave the house.” Andrew growled. “She can’t show her face
outside. Not until we catch the motherfucker.”
“And she can never be left alone.” Logan added, rubbing soothing circles on
my back. “One of us has to be with her all the time.”
I furrowed my eyebrows. How could that be possible? They have jobs. They
couldn’t be with me all the time.
“You can’t do that, Logan.” I said as I sat up in his lap. “You have a pack to
take care of.”

“You are more important, baby.” he said, cupping my face. “Besides, I have a
lot of people who could help me run my pack. Don’t worry about that part.”
I stared at him, surprised that he would choose me over the pack. Would he
really sit with me the entire day instead of taking care of his pack?
“Don’t kill me, Logan, but I have an idea.” Andrew sighed, making me look
away from Logan.
Logan looked at Andrew over my shoulder. I tried to wiggle out of Logan’s
lap, but he wouldn’t let me.
“No, Emma.” he growled quietly, looking down at me. “Stay here.”
“Let me just turn around then.” I sighed.
Logan picked me up with ease and turned me around so I could see my
brother and Drake. He pressed me on his chest and kissed the top of my head.
“What idea, Andrew?” Logan asked him.
“Em is right.” Andrew sighed. “We can’t be with her all the time. Your mom
can handle most of the pack business, but we need to focus on finding the
fucker. We need more people to guard her.”
Logan tensed up. I think he knew where Andrew was going with this. I think
I knew too.
“When you say more people, who exactly are you referring to?” Logan
asked, tightening his arms around me.
“Jacob.” Andrew said, looking at Logan like he expected him to blow up.
Surprisingly, Logan didn’t blow up. He just chuckled darkly.
“Are you seriously suggesting that I let another male be alone with my
mate?” Logan asked. “Do you want me to tear your house down?”

Andrew rolled his eyes and leaned back in the chair. “Jacob won’t do
anything. He is our best warrior, and he would never let anything happen to
Emma. Think about it, Logan.”
Logan’s chest vibrated, and he let out a quiet growl.
“Andrew is right, Logan.” Drake joined the conversation. “You need to tell
Jacob about what is going on and you need his help.”
“Are you two insane?!” Logan growled. “I’m not letting him near her!”
I took his hand in mine and leaned further back into him. I needed to calm
him down or he would really tear the house down. He squeezed my hand and
buried his nose in my hair, taking a deep breath of my scent.
“I just can’t wait for the two of you to mind your mates.” Logan mumbled.
“The first thing I’m going to do is suggest you leave her with another male
who wants her.”
I chuckled. I could imagine Logan’s smirk while he did that. Both Andrew
and Drake rolled their eyes and sighed.
“It’s not funny, Emma.” Logan said as he raised his head. “It hurts just
thinking about him alone with you.”
I sighed and looked at my brother. “Andrew, could Logan and I have a
moment alone, please?”
Andrew nodded and stood up. He walked out of the living room, followed by
Drake, who gave me a small smile.
I turned around in Logan’s arms, straddling him and placing my arms on his
shoulders.
“What are you afraid of?” I asked him.
He gripped my hips tightly. “I am afraid that he is going to take you away
from me.”

I bit my lower lip, staring at him. Honestly, no matter how conflicted I was
about forgiving Logan and accepting him as my mate, I could never imagine
myself with another man. Even if I ended up rejecting him, I would never be
with another man again. I just couldn’t bare another man’s hands on my
body. I wouldn’t want any other man’s taste on my tongue.
I felt him hardening under me and he groaned.
“Fuck, baby, don’t bite your lip.” he mumbled, raising his hand and pulling
my lip from under my teeth.
Tingles flew all over my body, and I felt wetness between my legs. He was
the only one who could do that to me with one touch. The sound of his voice
alone could make me ready in a second. And the way he sounded just now
was heavenly.
Shit.
I needed to focus. I needed to tell him that Jake wasn’t a threat to him.
“Can I be honest, Logan?” I mumbled, trying to ignore the ache between my
legs.
“Of course, baby.” he mumbled, and I could tell that he was doing the same
thing as I was.
“I’m still not sure about us, Logan.” I said, looking him in the eyes. “I’m still
afraid and every time I try to let you in, there is this voice telling me not to.”
Logan’s jaw tightened, and I saw pain in his eyes. I took a deep breath and
caressed his cheek.
“But I can’t picture myself with another man.” I continued quietly. “I don’t
want another man’s hands on me. I don’t want anyone else to kiss me. I only
want you, Logan. So even if I don’t end up with you, I will never want
another man. I will be single forever.”
Logan grabbed my face and pressed his lips against mine. His tongue entered

my mouth and I moaned. The ache between my legs only worsened.
“No man will ever touch you.” Logan said quietly as he stopped kissing me.
“You are mine, Emma. I know you are still holding back, but I won’t give up.
I will never give up. I will show you how fucking much I love you and how
badly I need you. You will never be single, because you are mine.”
I kissed him, running my tongue against his lips gently.
“Fuck, Emma.” he mumbled against my lips. “We need to stop.”
I pulled back and nodded. My mind was all fuzzy.
I chuckled and ran my hand through his hair.
“Jake is not a threat, Logan.” I said quietly. “Even if he wanted me, I don’t
want him. And he loves and respects me enough not to do anything I don’t
want him to do. You don’t have to worry.”
Logan stared at me with a pained expression on his face. He was leading a
battle inside himself.
“We are pretty boring, you know.” I said, smiling. “We play board games or
video games. I always beat him, by the way.”
Logan chuckled, caressing my cheek.
“It’s not like we have wild sex while he is here.” I added, smirking.
Logan’s eyes darkened and he growled. I chuckled as he grabbed my face.
“Mine.” he growled and kissed me roughly.

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE – A new guard
Logan POV
I couldn’t believe that I agreed to do this.
I blamed the mate bond. Emma convinced me to let Jacob guard her while we
were going to be out there searching for the Rogue King. I didn’t know how
she did it, though. She was sitting on my lap, working her mouth perfectly
against mine, and I was gone. All my free will was gone. I would really have
to find a way to stand up to her. I couldn’t let her control me like that.
I nuzzled my nose into her neck, taking a deep breath of her scent.
We were waiting for Jacob to arrive.
“We won’t be gone for long, Emma.” Andrew said. “We can do most of our
work from here anyway. Jacob will be with you for only a couple of hours,
and it won’t be every day.”
“Can Amy come as well?” Emma asked. “We should tell her. She will want
to see me. How will I explain the house arrest?”
“It’s not a house arrest.” I sighed.
“I know.” Emma chuckled, looking at me. “I just don’t know what else to call
it.”
“I’m not sure it’s a good idea, Emma.” Drake sighed. “The more people
know, the more danger you are in. She would also be in danger. You know
that.”
“Maybe is not such a bad idea, Drake.” Andrew said. “Emma is right. Amy
will want to see her. Maybe it wouldn’t be bad to have someone else with
her. Amy could be here all the time without Logan freaking out. And she is a
great fighter.”

Emma bit her lower lip and started fidgeting with her fingers. I rubbed her
back soothingly.
“What are you thinking, baby?” I asked her softly.
“Drake is right.” she mumbled. “I don’t want to put her in danger.”
Before anyone of us could respond, a knock on the door interrupted us.
“We can talk about that later.” Andrew said to her as he stood up to open the
door.
I pressed Emma closer to me. Alarms were blaring in my head, and it was
hard to ignore them. Jacob wanted her, and I wasn’t sure if he would stay
away from her.
“Hello, Jacob.” Andrew said politely as he opened the door.”
“Beta Andrew.” I heard his voice.
“Come on inside.” Andrew said and moved so Jacob could walk in.
Jacob stepped inside and his eyes immediately went to Emma. He smiled at
her, making me growl.
“Alpha Logan, Alpha Drake.” Jacob said, bowing his head in respect.
“Hello, Jacob.” Drake said as he motioned toward the armchair. “Sit down,
please.”
Jacob walked to his seat with a confused expression on his face. He sat down
and looked at Emma. I turned my head to her and kissed her temple. I wanted
him to see that she was mine.
Andrew sat down next to Emma and took her hand in his.
“You are here because we have a job for you, Jacob.” I started talking sternly.
“A job?” Jacob asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

“We need you to guard Emma.” Andrew said.
Jacob’s eyes widened and he looked at Emma. I could feel her tense up.
“Guard her?” Jacob asked. “Why? Is everything okay, beautiful?”
I growled. “No nicknames, Jacob.”
“The Rogue King wants her because she is a powerful wolf.” Andrew spoke
before Jacob and I could start an argument. “He is planning to take her as his
chosen mate. He wants to mark her and he wants her to give him children
because he believes he could take over the packs using her and their
children.”
I gripped Emma tighter. The only children she would have would be mine.
The only dick inside of her would be mine. The only canines piercing her
delicious skin would be mine. She was mine.
To say that Jacob was shocked was an understatement. He was staring at
Andrew with wide eyes. His mouth was opened and he looked kind of funny,
to be honest.
“He wants what?” Jacob mumbled.
“He wants to take her and make her his chosen mate.” Andrew repeated
slowly.
Jacob’s eyes flew to Emma. He was terrified.
“No fucking way!” he growled. “He is not getting to her!”
A mix of jealousy and relief flooded me. Relief because I knew that he
wouldn’t let her get hurt. Jealousy because I saw the way he was looking at
her. He wanted her for himself, and it made me want to rip his heart out.
“He doesn’t know her name.” Andrew continued. “He knows what she looks
like and that is why she needs to stay inside. Logan and I can’t be with her all
the time. We need to find the fucker before he attacks our pack and tries to

take her away. We need you to guard her while we are not here.”
“Of course.” Jacob agreed immediately. “I will guard her with my life.”
“It won’t be for a long period of time, though.” I said sternly. “You won’t be
with her all the time.”
Jacob nodded, but I could see he wasn’t happy. The fucker really thought that
I would let him be with her all the time. No fucking way.
“Does Amy know?” Jacob asked Emma.
“No.” she shook her head. “We were just discussing if we should tell her. I
don’t want to put her in danger.”
Jacob stayed silent for a moment. I could tell that he was thinking about
something.
“She will kill us both if we don’t tell her.” Jacob said after a few moments of
silence. “You know how much she loves you. She is a great warrior as well.
It would be great to have her around. Also, I would never let anything happen
to her. She is like my sister.”
Emma glanced at Andrew. “What do you think?”
“Like I said earlier, it wouldn’t hurt to have her around as well.” Andrew
said, looking at Jacob.
“I will talk to her with your permission, Alpha and Beta.” Jacob said, looking
from me to Andrew.
“Do that, Jacob.” I nodded. “But you can only tell Amy. No one else can
know about this.”
Jacob nodded and looked back at Emma. He gave her a warm smile, and she
smiled back. Jealousy stabbed me again.
“That would be all, Jacob.” I said coldly, tightening my grip on Emma. “You
can come back tomorrow at 7 am.”

Jacob glanced at me and gave me a stiff nod. He stood up and walked to the
front door.
“Bye, Emmy.” he said, turning to look at her. “I will see you tomorrow
morning.”
“Bye, Jake.” she smiled at him, making me want to growl.
“Alpha, Beta, Alpha Drake.” Jacob said, bowing his head in respect.
“We will see you tomorrow, Jacob.” Andrew said.
Jacob nodded, glanced at Emma one last time, and left the house.
I relaxed immediately. I turned my head toward Emma and kissed her
shoulder. I had no idea how I was supposed to leave her alone with him. It
would be the hardest thing I ever had to do.
“I am going to bed.” Emma said, smiling at us. “I will see you tomorrow
morning.”
I kissed her temple and reluctantly moved my arms so she could stand up.
She hugged Andrew and smiled at Drake before going upstairs.
I was watching her until she disappeared from my sight. I decided to go to
her room before I went to bed. I needed to taste her again.
“I think we need to talk to Sienna.” Drake said as soon as her bedroom door
closed. “I interrogated one of the rogues we captured. He mentioned her.”
My head snapped toward him and I growled.
What the fuck did that bitch have to do with the Rogue King?

CHAPTER SIXTY – Uncomfortable
Emma POV
“We will be right back.” Logan said as he reached out for me. “Two hours,
tops.”
He wrapped his arms around me, burying his nose into my hair.
“It’s okay, Logan.” I said as I hugged him back. “I will be okay, don’t worry.
Go do your job.”
“I will miss you.” Logan mumbled.
“It’s two hours, Logan.” Andrew sighed, picking up his phone and putting it
in the pocket of his jeans.
“You are not the one who needs to leave his mate with another man.” Logan
growled as he raised his head and glared at my brother.
“Amy will be here too.” I said, letting go of him.
He looked down at me and whined quietly. I rubbed his back and gave him a
small smile.
“Come on, man.” Andrew said. “Drake is waiting for us.”
Logan kissed my forehead and reluctantly let me go.
“We can’t leave until Jacob gets here.” Logan said, frowning.
“I mind-linked him.” Andrew said, opening the front door. “He is here.”
Andrew reached out for me, and I hugged him tightly.
“If anything happens, mind-link Logan or me immediately, understood?”
Andrew said, kissing the top of my head.

“Yes.” I said, letting him go. “Don’t worry. Everything will be great.”
“Beta Andrew.” I heard Jake’s voice and looked behind Andrew.
Logan growled quietly, pulling me back into his arms. I could feel his erratic
heartbeat, and it made me sad. He really had nothing to worry about. We still
needed to talk about a lot of things, but I was his. Even if I decided to reject
him, which was slowly but surely getting highly unlikely, I would always be
his. Just the thought of another man’s hands on my body made me shiver.
Andrew stepped aside so Jake could come in.
“We will be back in two hours.” Andrew said to Jake. “If anything happens,
mind-link us immediately.”
“Of course, Beta.” Jake said, bowing his head. “Don’t worry. She is safe with
me.”
Andrew nodded and looked at Logan. “Let’s go.”
Logan buried his nose into my hair, taking a deep breath. He reluctantly let
me go and walked toward the front door.
“If you touch my mate, I will rip you apart, Walters.” Logan growled as he
walked by Jake. “You are here as her guard, nothing else.”
“Of course, Alpha.” Jake said, trying not to glare at Logan.
Logan turned around, giving me a look full of longing. I smiled at him.
“I love you, baby.” he said. “I will be back soon.”
“Okay.” I said with a small smile.
Jake walked over to me, making Logan glare and growl.
Andrew sighed, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the house. As soon as
the door behind them closed, Jake sighed and shook his head.

“He is very jealous, isn’t he?” Jake mumbled, turning to look at me.
“He is an Alpha wolf, Jake.” I said as I started walking to the kitchen. “He is
possessive.”
Jake followed me to the kitchen and sat down at the kitchen island.
“Coffee?” I asked him as I opened the cupboard.
“Sure.” Jake said.
I took out two cups and filled them with coffee. I gave Jake his cup and sat
down opposite him.
“You decided to forgive him?” Jake asked me.
“I’m trying to forgive him.” I sighed and took a sip of my coffee. “I’m still
careful, though.”
“You don’t need him, Emma.” Jake said, frowning. “I can give you so much
more.”
“Jake…” I started speaking softly, but he interrupted me.
“No, Emma.” he said, placing his cup down on the kitchen island. “He
rejected you. He chose that bitch over you. He doesn’t love you, Emma. The
only reason he changed his mind was your power. He is using you.”
My heart was breaking inside my chest. Jake said everything I was already
thinking.
“You would be so much happier with me, beautiful.” Jake continued softly,
reaching out and taking my hand in his.
His touch burned my skin, and I wanted to pull my hand back. He gripped it
tighter.
“I love you.” he said. “I’ve always loved you. I’ve never cared if you were
powerful or not. I don’t care about any of that stuff. I want you, Emma. I love

you.”
Logan loved me too.
Right?
He couldn’t have faked all that’s been happening between us for the last few
days.
Right?
He showed me how much he loved me. I saw it in his eyes. I felt it. Our bond
was getting stronger, and I could feel him. I could feel his emotions. He
couldn’t fake love.
Right?
“I love you too, Jake.” I said quietly. “But I love you like a friend, nothing
more. I would never be able to give myself to you. Even if I decide to reject
Logan, I will stay single. I just can’t imagine myself with another man.”
“You could learn to love me.” Jake said, squeezing my hand.
“That wouldn’t be fair.” I said. “I could never do that to you, Jake. You
deserve someone who will love you with all their heart and soul, not someone
who needs to learn to love you.”
I tried to pull my hand away. I was getting uncomfortable. His touch felt
wrong. I wanted Logan.
“I don’t care, Emma.” Jake said. “I want you.”
He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it gently. Shivers went up and
down my body, but not the same ones I felt with Logan. These felt wrong.
“What would happen when you found your mate?” I asked him, trying to
gulp down the lump in my throat.
“I would reject her.” Jake said immediately. “I don’t want a mate. I want

you.”
“You don’t know what a mate bond feels like, Jake.” I said, pulling my hand
out of his. “You would want to be with her.”
“No, Emma, I…” he started speaking, but, this time, I interrupted him.
“Stop, Jake, please.” I said softly. “I am sorry. I am so sorry. I can’t be with
you. Please don’t make me uncomfortable.”
Jake clenched his fists, and his jaw twitched.
“Fine, beautiful.” he mumbled. “I will stop.”
“Thank you.” I said, giving him a small smile. “What do you want to do? We
could play a board game.”
“I’ll pass.” Jake sighed. “I’m not in a mood to lose to a cheater.”
“Hey.” I whined. “I don’t cheat.”
“Sure.” Jake said as he rolled his eyes playfully.
“Do you want to watch a movie?” I asked him as I hopped off of the bar
stool.
Jake nodded, standing up and following me back to the living room.
“Did you talk to Amy?” I asked him as I turned the TV on.
“I will do it tomorrow.” Jake said, sitting down on the couch. “I needed time
to process.”
“I still can’t wrap my brain around it.” I sighed. “I still think it’s a mistake.”
I sat down next to Jake and gave him the remote.
“You are letting me choose?” he asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
“This time only.” I said, chuckling.

Jake smiled, taking the remote out of my hand.
I leaned back on the couch and resisted the urge to mind-link Logan. The
time was passing by slowly, and I couldn’t wait for him to come back.
For the first time ever, I didn’t feel comfortable being alone with Jake.

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE – Sienna
Andrew POV
“Talk, Drake.” I growled as we entered Logan’s office.
Drake sat down on the couch and sighed. He ran his hand through his hair
and leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees.
“As I told you yesterday, one of the rogues I captured mentioned Sienna.”
Drake said. “Apparently, she had been getting out of pack territory to find a
rogue who would help her kidnap Emma.”
“We know that already.” Logan growled. “That’s how she found Rolf.”
“Yes, but Rolf was not the first one she approached with the offer.” Drake
said, looking from Logan to me.
Logan growled, clenching his fists.
“She showed Emma’s picture to a couple of rogues.” Drake continued. “Most
of them declined because they were afraid of messing with Logan and his
pack. The rogue I captured saw her picture and recognized her immediately.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “Recognized her
from where?”
“The rogue said that the Dark Witch gave them a description of the White
Wolf’s human form.” Drake sighed. “The rogue saw Emma’s picture, and she
fit the description.”
“Why not take her then?” I asked, trying to swallow the lump in my throat.
“Why did he let Rolf take her?”
Logan growled quietly.

“He said that the Rogue King wants to get her himself.” Drake said. “They
were instructed to find her but not to take her. He never thought that Sienna
would actually find a rogue who would help her take Emma. Rolf was
completely off the grid. He had no connections with the Rogue King, and he
wasn’t afraid of Logan either. They didn’t even know that she had been
taken.”
“How is that possible?” I asked, confused. “Why didn’t the Rogue King
come for her right away?”
“He needed to be sure it was her.” Drake continued. “He didn’t want to risk
exposing himself if she wasn’t the one. He sent the rogue back to make sure
it was really her, but we caught him before he could make it back to your
pack.”
“Fuck.” I mumbled, running my hand through my hair.
Logan growled again.
“Wait, how come they don’t know her name?” I asked, furrowing my
eyebrows. “Sienna must have told them.”
“No.” Drake shook his head. “The rogue said that Sienna kept calling her
“the little bitch” and never mentioned her name.”
“Well, thank you, Sienna.” I said, sighing and running my hand through my
hair again.
“We got lucky there.” Drake mumbled.
“That bitch is the reason that the fucker knows where Emma is.” Logan
growled as he started pacing around his office.
“She is.” Drake nodded. “She’s done more damage than she is even aware
of.”
“We need to find him.” I said. “We need to kill him before he makes a
move.”

“No.” Logan growled, making me narrow my eyes at him.
What the fuck? No?
“We have no fucking idea where he is.” Logan said. “He’s been hiding for
years. He could be on another fucking continent. I am not wasting any more
of my men trying to find him. I am putting all of my resources into defending
our borders. We are tightening patrols. Every warrior will now be on the
fucking border. I will let him come to me and I will kill him.”
“We can’t let him come here, Logan.” I said, trying to remain calm. “What if
he manages to take Emma?”
My voice was trembling, and my heart felt like it was breaking inside my
chest.
“He will not breathe in her direction.” Logan growled. “I am not letting him
near her.”
“I think Logan is right.” Drake said quietly. “We don’t know where the
fucker is, and while you are sending your men out to find him, he could
attack, and you would be short on warriors.”
“So we are focusing on defending, rather than attacking first?” I sighed,
sitting down in one of the chairs.
“Yes.” Logan nodded, leaning on the edge of his desk. “I hoped that we
would find out his location by now and that we would have something to
attack, but we can’t waste any more time trying to find him. We need to
prepare.”
“If he touches her…” I started speaking quietly, but Logan’s growl
interrupted me.
“Nobody will touch her!” Logan said loudly. “He will never lay his eyes on
her, let alone his hands!”
I looked at Logan and took a deep breath. He better be right. I understood his

decision. It was pointless to waste time trying to find the fucker. But I was
terrified of him coming here. I kept imagining him taking her away, and I
wanted to burn the world down. I would go and find him myself, but there
was no fucking chance of me leaving Emma. It was hard for me to leave her,
even for a few hours. I just wanted to go home and make sure she was there.
“Do you think you can get any more information from the rogue in your
cellar, Andrew?” Drake asked me.
“I don’t know if he knows anything else.” I mumbled. “But I will be more
than happy to ask him. I loved making him talk.”
Drake chuckled, shaking his head.
I was sick and twisted when it came to torture. But I couldn’t give a fuck. I
would do whatever I had to do to keep Emma safe.
“Do that, Andrew.” Logan said, walking behind his desk and sitting down in
his chair. “I will get Lewis to come to my office. I need to go over border
patrol plans with him.”
“Do you want to join me, Drake?” I asked as I stood up.
“Glady.” Drake smirked. “I need to blow off some steam.”
I chuckled darkly and looked back at Logan. He was opening his drawers and
pulling out papers.
“When are we going back to the house?” I asked him, glancing at the watch
on my left arm. “We said two hours. We have an hour and a half left.”
“I will go back as soon as I am done with Lewis.” Logan said. “It will take us
about 45 minutes to arrange everything.”
“Okay.” I nodded. “Mind-link me when you are done. If we are making
progress, I will stay in the cellar longer. If not, I am going home in an hour.”
“Don’t worry.” Logan said, looking up at me. “I don’t want her to be alone
with Jacob for long. I am going back there soon.”

“Okay.” I nodded.
“Enjoy.” Logan said, chuckling darkly.
“Oh, I fucking will.” I growled. “Maybe I will even visit Sienna if there is
time.”
“I would love that.” Drake laughed. “I haven’t seen her in a while.”
“You two are sick fuckers.” Logan laughed.
“We are sick?” I chuckled. “You are like a kid with a shiny new toy when
you go downstairs.”
“You are right.” Logan nodded, smirking. “I do love torturing the fuckers
who hurt my mate.”
I laughed just as we heard a knock on the door.
“Come in, Lewis.” Logan said.
The door opened and Lewis walked in. He looked around the room and
bowed his head in respect.
“Alpha, Beta, Alpha Drake.” he said, looking back up at us.”
“Please, Lewis, sit down.” Logan said as he motioned toward the chair. “We
have a lot to discuss.”
Drake and I left Logan’s office and started walking downstairs.
I couldn’t wait to blow off some steam.

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO – Make you feel good
Logan POV
I missed Emma like crazy.
I was so fucking happy when Lewis and I finally finished our talk. We’ve
increased the border security and the number of patrols around the pack
territory.
I was happy with the outcome and more than ready to go back to my mate. I
needed to feel her. I needed to taste her. I needed to hear her sweet moans.
How’s it going, Andrew? I mind-linked my Beta as I walked out of my
office.
He isn’t talking. Andrew sighed.
Take your time. I said. I am going to your house right now. Don’t worry
about Emma.
I always worry about her. Andrew growled. She is my pup.
You know that’s not what I meant. I sighed.
I do. Andrew said. I am just on edge.
Take it out on the fucker. I chuckled. Pay a visit to Sienna and Rolf. I will
take care of Emma until you come back.
I will do that. Andrew said. I will be home in an hour.
Perfect. A whole hour alone with Emma, a whole hour to taste every fucking
part of her, a whole hour to listen to her sweet moans.
My dick was already rock hard.

Mind-link me if you need anything. I said, hoping he wouldn’t bother me
for the next hour.
I cut our mind-link and hurried toward Emma’s house. I needed that fucker
Jacob as far away from her as possible.
I still couldn’t believe I agreed to let him guard her and spend time with her
alone. My mind kept coming up with images that had me ready to burn the
fucking world down.
Jacob kissing Emma.
Jacob touching Emma’s soft skin.
Jacob kissing the spot where my mark should be.
Jacob tasting her skin.
Jacob making her moan.
A growl escaped me, and I ran toward her house. I was ready to end his
miserable life.
I was entering the house in less than a minute.
I growled and looked around. I calmed down a little when I saw them sitting
on the couch, watching a movie.
Emma was wearing her clothes. There was no mark on her neck. She didn’t
look like she’d been touched.
Both of them stared at me, wide-eyed. Emma moved first.
“What happened?” she asked as she stood up and walked toward me.
I closed the distance between us and pulled her to me. I took a deep breath of
her wonderful scent.
Fucking finally.

“I missed you.” I said softly, running my hand up and down her back.
I felt her shiver, and a small smile appeared on my face.
“Did something happen, Alpha?” Jacob asked me, making me look at him.
“No.” I said. “You are free to go, Walters.”
“Okay.” Jacob nodded, looking at Emma. “I will talk to Amy today. We will
visit you tomorrow.”
I loosened my grip on Emma so she could turn around. She smiled and
nodded.
“Okay.” she said softly. “I can’t really leave the house, so I will definitely be
here when you decide to visit.”
Emma chuckled, making my heart skip a beat.
Fuck, Walters, get the hell out!
“Okay, Emmy.” Jacob smiled. “I will see you tomorrow.”
“Bye, Jake.” Emma said as Jacob closed the door behind him.
Thank fuck.
I immediately moved my lips to Emma’s neck, gently sucking on the spot I
would sink my canines into.
She moaned and arched her back. I grabbed her and turned her back around.
My mouth covered hers, and I traced her lips with my tongue. I picked her
up, and she wrapped her legs around my waist. Her hands found their way
into my hair and she tugged on it, making me groan.
I started walking upstairs, not breaking the amazing kiss we were sharing.
“Where are we going?” Emma mumbled into my mouth.
“Your bedroom.” I said. “Your brother won’t be home for an hour. I want to

make you feel good, baby.”
I moved my mouth up and down her jaw, making her shiver. I could smell
her arousal, and it was driving me fucking crazy.
We were already upstairs, and I was walking toward her bedroom.
“Maybe we should talk first, Logan.” Emma said, panting hard, as she moved
her head so I could kiss even more of her neck.
I smirked, sucking on her neck. I opened her bedroom door and laid her down
on the bed. I laid on top of her, trying not to put too much of my weight on
her.
“You don’t look like you want to talk, baby.” I said, kissing her hard. “You
don’t smell like you want to talk.”
Emma lifted her hips, pressing herself against my dick. I almost burst in
flames.
“Fuck, baby.” I growled, biting on her lower lip.
Yeah, we weren’t talking. Not right now.
“Can I take your shirt off?” I asked softly.
Emma nodded, and I almost died of happiness. I pulled her shirt up over her
head, and the sight of her in a black bra only almost made me cum in my
pants.
She was fucking perfect. Her breasts were perfect. I could even see her hard
nipples straining against her bra, and it made me want to cry from happiness.
This perfect little thing was mine. She was perfect, and she was mine.
I lowered my head and placed a kiss on her collar bone.
She moaned and arched her back slightly, brushing her hips against my
painfully hard dick.

“Emma, baby?” I called her as I licked up and down her collar bone.
“Mhm.” she mumbled, unable to speak.
“I am going to make you cum, baby.” I said, itching to taste her. “If you want
to stop me, just say the word, okay?”
I could hear Emma’s heartbeat pick up. She has never done anything like this
before, and I was so fucking happy. Everything was mine.
“Don’t worry, baby.” I said, looking up at her. “I am not going to do anything
you don’t want me to do. I am going to suck on those pretty little nipples of
yours.”
I rubbed my thumbs over them as I spoke, making her gasp.
“Then I am going to use my fingers to rub that pretty little pussy that belongs
to me until I hear you screaming my name.” I said, watching as her pupils
dilated.
I smiled, and Emma gulped.
“If you don’t agree with any part of that, tell me and I will stop immediately.”
I said, kissing her softly.
Her heart was going a mile a minute, but she wanted it. I could tell.
“I’ve...” she mumbled, staring at me wide-eyed. “I’ve never done something
like that before. I don’t know how...”
She stopped as she looked away, embarrassed.
“Oh, I know, baby.” I said, making her look back at me. “I can’t tell you how
fucking happy I am that I will be the first one to touch and taste you. I don’t
want you to know these things. I want to teach you.”
I lowered my lips to her neck and sucked once more.
“Now, do you want me to stop?” I asked in between kisses.

She shook her head, and I almost exploded from happiness.
I kissed down her body until I reached her bra. I moved it aside, revealing the
most perfect little nipple I’ve ever seen. I groaned, placing my mouth on it
and sucking gently.
She squirmed under me and giggled. I looked up at her with amusement in
my eyes.
“It tickles.” she said softly.
I smirked, placing my hand on her belly. I knew just what she needed to
make it stop tickling.
I slowly reached under the waistband of her sweats, making her gasp and
look at me wide-eyed.
“Do you want me to stop?” I asked, moving my attention to her other nipple.
She shook her head again, and I smiled.
I reached under her panties to find her fucking soaked.
Holy shit.
“Fuck, baby.” I groaned, bringing my lips back to hers.
She kissed me hard, moaning into my mouth as I touched her clit.
“Do you want me to stop?” I asked, knowing that it would take a fucking
bulldozer to rip me away from her right now.
“No, please.” she moaned, arching her hips toward my hand.
Fuck.
I started moving my fingers in a circular motion, making Emma cry out. I
smiled and moved my mouth back down to her nipples. I sucked on them
gently, and she arched her back.

“Not tickling anymore?” I asked, smiling.
She looked down at me, her pupils wide and her mouth slightly open. She
shook her head.
“Good.” I said, closing my mouth around her nipple again.
She moved her hips in a steady motion, brushing against my dick at the same
time. I was going to cum. I was going to cum in my fucking pants like I was a
fucking teenager.
She was close. Her breaths became shorter. Her whole body trembled. She
grabbed my shirt with her fists and moaned my name.
I covered her mouth with mine. That was the only thing I wanted to hear. My
name on her lips as she came.
“Come for me, baby.” I mumbled, biting her lower lip.
“Logan.” she moaned my name as she fell apart.
I felt my dick twitch inside my pants, and I exploded like a fucking volcano.
This was the best fucking day of my life.

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE – Innocent
Emma POV
I was trembling from top to bottom.
I have never felt anything like that in my entire life.
I wanted more.
My body was screaming for Logan. I wanted him to touch me again. I wanted
to feel his lips on my body. I wanted to feel him inside of me. I wanted
everything.
“Holy fuck, baby.” Logan mumbled into my neck.
I shivered when his warm breath touched the skin on my neck.
“This was the best fucking thing that ever happened to me.” Logan said as he
kissed my neck, making me moan again.
How was that good for him? I never touched him.
He raised his head and looked at me.
“Do you want more?” he asked, smirking.
My eyes widened and I felt warmth rushing to my cheeks. I did want more. I
didn’t want to tell him that, though. I was embarrassed.
Logan chuckled and leaned in to nibble at my lower lip.
“I would be more than happy to make you cum again, but I don’t think we
have time.” he said with amusement in his voice. “Your brother will be home
soon, and I would like to stay alive.”
He kissed my jaw and sucked on my neck, making me moan and lift my hips

toward him.
“You are killing me, baby.” he said, his voice strained.
He continued to move his lips and tongue all around my neck. How the hell
did he expect me not to move?!
“Then stop kissing me.” I said, breathing heavily.
Logan raised his head and laughed. “Yeah, that will never happen. But I
should take a little break, shouldn’t I?”
“If you don’t want Andrew to kill you, yes.” I said.
Logan chuckled and lifted himself off of me. He looked down at his pants,
grabbing his waistband and looking inside.
“Shit.” he mumbled. “I’ve never come into my pants before.”
My eyes widened. I sat up, staring at him. What? But I didn’t touch him.
Maybe I should have? I’ve never done it before. I didn’t know what was
expected of me.
“How?” I managed to mumble. “I didn’t touch you.”
Logan looked up at me and smiled. He sat back down on the bed, adjusting
himself.
“Well, you kind of did.” he said, smiling. “You moved your hips and you
kept brushing up against me.”
I felt another rush of heat racing toward my cheeks.
“But even if you didn’t, I would have come.” Logan added, smirking at me.
“How?” I mumbled again. “I didn’t do anything. Should I have done
something? I didn’t know what to do. I don’t know...”
Logan placed a hand over my mouth, stopping me from talking. I frowned at

him.
“You didn’t have to do anything.” Logan said, keeping his hand over my
mouth. “You won’t have to do anything until you are comfortable, baby. I am
so fucking happy that you don’t know anything because that means that I am
the only man you’ve ever done this with.”
I nodded, and he smiled. “I am going to have so much fun teaching you.”
I blushed again and he moved his hand from my mouth.
“Oh, and I would have come even without you touching me because I
fucking love you.” he said, leaning toward me. “Your moans and the taste of
your skin is enough to throw me over the edge.”
He kept leaning closer to me, never moving his eyes away from mine. He
kissed me softly, and it made me wet again. A sudden, painful ache between
my thighs made me whimper.
“Fuck, Emma.” Logan mumbled, looking down between my legs.
He clenched his fists and tightened his jaw. He looked back up at me and I
could see lust in his eyes.
“You need to go shower or I am going to be dead in 15 minutes.” Logan
growled.
I chuckled and stood up.
Logan adjusted himself and groaned.
“You will kill me, woman.” he mumbled, making me laugh.
“It’s not my fault.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “You did this. I
was perfectly innocent up until 10 minutes ago.”
Logan jumped up and grabbed me. He kissed me hard, making me moan
loudly.

“Yes, you were.” he growled. “Innocent and mine.”
We still needed to talk, but, yes, I was his.
“You need to let me go shower.” I said quietly, stepping away from him.
“You need to shower too, or my brother will know what you did.”
I winked at him and he slapped my butt. I chuckled and walked to the
bathroom. I heard my bedroom door open and close.
I removed my clothes and stepped into the shower. I couldn’t stop thinking
about Logan’s hands on my body. It was more than perfect, and I wanted
more. I wanted to know what it felt like to have him inside of me.
Another ache ripped through me, and I whimpered quietly. I needed to stop
thinking about him.
I finished showering and I dried myself with a towel. I put on a new set of
clothes and walked out of my room.
The scent of coffee hit me as soon as I started walking down the stairs.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Logan pouring coffee into two mugs.
“You’re fast.” I said as I sat down on the bar stool.
“Well, I’m not the one who couldn’t leave the shower because she was
fantasizing about me touching her again.” he grinned and winked at me.
My eyes widened, and I blushed again. How the hell did he know?!
“I was just guessing, but the expression on your face is telling me that I am
right.” Logan laughed, walking around the kitchen island toward me.
He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.
“Don’t worry, baby.” he said. “You don’t have to be embarrassed. I fantasize
about you all the time, not just in the shower.”

I rolled my eyes and Logan laughed. He lowered his head and kissed me
again. I melted in his arms.
“You wanted to talk to me.” he said, lowering his lips to my jaw.
I did?
I did.
Yes. Talk.
My brain was all fuzzy and I couldn’t think straight.
“Maybe you should go stand on the other side of the island.” I mumbled.
“We can’t talk like this.”
“Why?” Logan smirked. “Am I making it hard for you to focus?”
“Yes.” I said, frowning at him.
“Okay, fine.” he said as he stopped kissing my jaw. “I will go stand on the
other side.”
He pecked my lips again and moved away.
The cloud in my brain lifted slightly. His presence and his scent still made me
all fuzzy.
He sat on the bar stool opposite me and took a sip of his coffee.
“Talk, baby.” Logan said, looking at me with a small smile.
Talk. Right.
Shit. What did I want to say? What did I want to talk about?
Us. Right.
And Sienna. And the rejection.

Goddess, Emma, focus.
“I want to talk about us, Logan.” I said, clearing my throat and forcing my
brain to work. “I need to know why you rejected me. I need to know what
happened between Sienna and you. I need to know if you want me for me, or
just because I am supposed to be a powerful Luna.”
Logan growled when I mentioned Sienna. His eyes hardened and his grip on
the mug tightened.
“Of course I want you, Emma.” he said. “I don’t give a shit about whether
you are powerful or not.”
“Okay.” I nodded. “I still need to hear everything, Logan. I can’t move on
until I do. I can’t accept you until I do.”
“You are mine!” Logan growled, narrowing his eyes.
“Logan, please.” I sighed. “Talk to me.”
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
“I am sorry, baby.” he mumbled. “Okay. Let’s talk.”

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR – Duty
Logan POV
My heart was pounding in my chest.
What I said to her in this conversation would determine if she accepted or
rejected me.
I couldn’t even think about the rejection. That couldn’t happen. I couldn’t
lose her. I wouldn’t lose her.
She was mine. She belonged to me.
Just picturing her with another man…
The anger rose, and I was ready to break down the fucking house.
No. Fuck no. How could I let another man touch her? How could I let another
man taste her? How could I let another man hear what I just heard upstairs?
Her orgasms were mine. Her moans were mine.
SHE. WAS. MINE.
She looked up at me, and I could tell that she was ready to ask her first
question.
She was interrupted by Andrew.
The front door opened, and we heard footsteps approaching. We looked at the
entrance to the kitchen.
“Hey.” Andrew said as soon as he walked in.
He hugged Emma and kissed the top of her head.
“I missed you, Em.” Andrew mumbled.

“It’s been two hours.” Emma chuckled, making my heart swell in my chest.
I adored the sound of her laugh.
“It’s been more than two hours.” Andrew said as he walked to the cupboard.
“What were you guys doing?”
He took the mug and poured himself some coffee.
“We were just about to talk.” I said, giving him a meaningful look.
“Oh.” Andrew said, looking from me to Emma. “I will give you some
privacy then.”
Andrew walked back to Emma and kissed her temple.
“I will be in my room if you need me.” he said as he walked out of the
kitchen, sipping his coffee.
I walked around the kitchen island and took Emma’s hand in mine.
“Where are we going?” she asked me.
“Living room.” I said.
I sat down on the couch and pulled her next to me. I wanted to touch her and
feel her while we talked, but she pulled back.
“I am sorry.” she said immediately. “You will distract me if you are too
close.”
I wanted to whine and sob like a damn kid, but I pushed that need down and
nodded.
“Okay baby.” I smiled.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second.
“Why did you reject me, Logan?” she asked quietly. “You said I was weak,

but you didn’t even give me a chance to prove to you that I am not.”
I clenched my fists and took a deep breath.
“I was scared.” I said quietly. “We were constantly getting attacked by
rogues. My father left me this pack, and it is my duty to protect it. I was
scared that they would take you away from me. I was convinced that having a
physically stronger mate would mean that they wouldn’t be able to hurt her
and get to me and my pack through her.”
She studied my face for a second. “I was never physically weak. I was always
the best at training. I am small, but I am fast. Jake has been training me as
well. We would meet three times a week after the training, and he would
make sure I knew how to protect myself. He wanted me to be safe, and he
taught me how to fight.”
I was speechless.
Jacob had been teaching her how to fight?
She could fight?
Another fucking man made sure that my mate was safe. Another man made
sure that she knew how to protect herself. What did I do? I rejected her
immediately without even talking to her or considering teaching her myself.
I was a fucking idiot. I hated myself so fucking much. I didn’t deserve this
girl. But I was too fucking selfish to give her up.
“Jake always said that I needed to be fast because I am so small.” she
continued, when I didn’t say anything. “I am really fast. I can kick some
serious butt.”
My eyes widened and I almost chuckled.
Did Andrew know about this? Why didn’t he tell me?!
“I am an idiot.” I mumbled, staring at her.

“Your words, not mine.” Emma said, smirking.
I reached out to her, ready to pull her to me and kiss her, but she stopped me.
“We are not done talking.” she said, moving even further away from me.
I was seconds away from whining like a fucking toddler. I wanted her.
“What happened between you and Sienna?” she asked quietly, and I could
hear the pain in her voice. “Did you love her?”
“I loved her like a friend.” I said honestly. “I’ve never loved her like I love
you.”
“But you slept with her?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
Shit. How did she know about that?
“I did.” I said nervously. “We hooked up occasionally. But that doesn’t mean
that I loved her.”
I sounded like a fucking pig.
“That’s kind of mean.” Emma mumbled, looking down at her hands.
“It is.” I agreed. “But I am done lying to you. I won’t risk losing you again. I
am always going to be honest and tell you the truth.”
“If Sienna didn’t hurt me, would you be with her right now?” Emma asked,
looking back up at me.
“Goddess, no.” I said immediately. “I was caving, Emma. I regretted my
decision as soon as I said those words. It wouldn’t take me long to crawl back
to you and beg you to forgive me.”
She studied my face, and I could tell that she was in deep thought.
“Look, baby.” I sighed, running my hand through my hair. “I gave up on ever
finding my mate. I put all of my attention and effort into my pack. I thought

about ways to protect it and make it even better. Finding a mate at 25 seemed
impossible and I decided to give myself to my pack entirely. I thought about
making Sienna my chosen mate for a long while, but something was always
stopping me. Now I know that it was the Moon Goddess, and she made me
wait for you. But the only thing I wanted was a better, stronger pack, and I
told myself that Sienna would help me achieve that, and even if I ended up
finding my mate, she would never mean more to me than my pack. I decided
to reject her even before I knew it was you. I honestly thought that Sienna
was the best Luna for me and my pack.”
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
“You blindsided me.” I continued quietly. “I never thought it was possible to
love someone the way I love you. Suddenly, my pack meant nothing to me
without you. But I was a stubborn idiot who made a terrible choice.”
The pain in Emma’s eyes almost made me scream. But I had to tell her
everything. I had to tell her how fucking much I loved her. Even Leon kept
quiet the entire time, which was odd for him. He was giving me space to fix
what I messed up.
“I wanted you back even before I found out about you being the True Luna.”
I said, trying to stop myself from grabbing her. “I was a jealous idiot who
made sure to find everything out about Jacob. I was a jealous idiot who told
your brother that Jacob couldn’t become your chosen mate. I was a jealous
idiot who almost killed Drake at that dinner for looking at you the way he
did. I couldn’t even let anyone carry you home after you broke your ribs at
training, Emma. I wanted to kill Jacob because he was the one who carried
you to the hospital, not me.”
Emma sobbed, and I pulled her onto my lap immediately.
She straddled me and buried her face in my neck.
I wrapped my arms around her as tightly as I could. She fit into them so
fucking perfectly.
“I love you.” I said to her as I kissed the top of her head. “I fucking love

you.”
She raised her head and looked at me. She grabbed my face with her hands
and pressed her lips on mine.
My heart almost jumped out of my body.
I kissed her back, parting her lips with my tongue. Her taste invaded my
mouth, and I groaned.
I had to break the kiss, because I was seconds away from fucking her right
there. Andrew would have definitely killed me if he walked in on that.
“Does that mean that you accept me?” I asked, breaking the kiss and trying to
stop myself from ripping her clothes off of her.
My heart hammered in my chest. I was so fucking sure that this kiss meant
that she wanted me as much as I wanted her, but a part of me was still
terrified that she would reject me.
“I, Emma Parker of the Crescent Moon Pack, accept you, Logan Carter, as
my mate and Alpha.” she said quietly as she pressed her lips back on mine.
I was in fucking heaven.

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE – Fighter
Emma POV
I was shaking from top to bottom.
Accepting Logan felt like finding a missing puzzle piece that completed the
picture.
It was the best thing I’ve ever done.
It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done as well.
A part of me was still scared. A part of me was still screaming at me that I’d
made a mistake.
His tongue massaged mine so perfectly. His hands on my body felt perfect,
and I wanted more. I needed more.
“As happy as it makes me to see that the two of you have made up, please
stop doing that on my couch.” I heard my brother’s voice.
My eyes opened abruptly, and I jumped off of Logan. I forgot where we
were. I forgot that I was sitting on him and that it wasn’t a really good idea to
throw myself backwards. Instead of jumping on my feet, I stumbled and
started falling on my back.
Logan grabbed me just before my head hit the coffee table.
“Andrew!” Logan growled, shooting daggers at my brother.
“Shit, Em.” Andrew mumbled, walking down the rest of the stairs. “Are you
okay?”
“Fine.” I mumbled, standing up straighter. “You scared me.”

Andrew walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.
“I am sorry, love.” he said, kissing the top of my head.
I looked up at him and gave him a little smile. He broke the hug, but he never
let go of me. He kept his hands on my shoulders and pressed my back to his
chest.
“I see that you made up.” Andrew said, looking from me to Logan.
“We did.” Logan said, smiling from ear to ear.
My heart fluttered and my legs started to feel like jelly. He was so gorgeous.
“That is good to hear.” Andrew said, staring at Logan. “You and I will have a
little talk later, Logan. It’s the talk that I’ve been saving for my sister’s mate,
and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
Logan’s smile disappeared, and I almost laughed.
He was a big, bad Alpha, but right now he was scared of my brother. I
guessed that big brother trumped Alpha. Who knew.
“Did you eat?” Andrew asked me as he moved his gaze from Logan to me.
“No.” I shook my head and looked up at my brother.
“Come on.” Andrew said, moving his hands from my shoulders and taking
my hand in his. “I’ll make us lunch.”
Logan followed us to the kitchen. His scared look was replaced by a happy
one, and it made me melt. I didn’t know what was going on with me, but I
was falling for him so hard and much faster than I did before I accepted him.
Maybe it was because I let my guard down. Maybe it was because I let
myself feel something for him.
I sat down on the bar stool, and Logan came to stand behind me. He wrapped
his hands around my waist and placed a kiss on my shoulder.

“Did you know that your sister can fight?” Logan asked Andrew.
“Of course she can.” Andrew said as he opened the fridge and looked inside.
“All of our wolves can fight. She has been training. You, as an Alpha, should
know that.”
“I do know that.” Logan sighed. “But that is not what I am talking about.”
Andrew turned around and looked at us. He raised an eyebrow.
“Walters has been teaching her outside of mandatory training.” Logan said.
“Apparently, she is fast, and she can kick some ass.”
Andrew’s eyes widened. He looked kind of worried.
“Why would he do that?” Andrew mumbled. “You could have gotten hurt.”
“He did it so I wouldn’t be hurt.” I said. “He said that he wanted me to be
safe. He said that he wanted me to know how to fight and protect myself.”
Andrew looked at Logan, and I saw guilt written all over his face.
“I know, man.” Logan sighed. “We let another man do our job.”
I furrowed my eyebrows. “What are you talking about?”
“I should have been the one to teach you, Emma.” Andrew said, rubbing the
back of his neck nervously. “I can’t believe it never occurred to me. I can’t
believe that Jacob thought of it and I didn’t.”
Was he being serious right now?!
“You have a job, Andrew.” I said softly. “You can’t spend all of your time
worrying about me and thinking about what would be good for me. You have
a pack to run.”
“You are my pup.” Andrew said, crossing his arms over his chest. “I should
have thought of it.”

I sighed and shook my head. “You raised me to make good choices. And I
made a good choice when I became friends with Jake, who then helped me
learn how to fight. So, if you think about it, you are responsible for me
knowing how to kick someone’s butt.”
Logan snorted and started laughing. Andrew rolled his eyes and went back to
making lunch.
“I really want to see you kick some ass, baby.” Logan said, moving my hair
away from my face. “I would like you to show us what Jacob has taught
you.”
“I think that’s a great idea.” Andrew added. “We can go down to the gym
later. Walters is a good warrior, but Logan and I are better. We can correct
your mistakes and teach you how to be even better.”
We had a little gym in the basement. I used it rarely, but Andrew was
downstairs every day.
I crossed my arms over my chest and smirked. I decided to mess with them a
little.
“How do you know that you are better than Jake?” I asked. “He is great.”
Both Logan and Andrew growled.
Andrew turned around and studied my face for a second. He narrowed his
eyes and looked at Logan.
“Don’t fall for it, man.” Andrew said. “She is messing with us.”
Logan wrapped a hand around my throat and bent my head backwards so I
could look at him.
His hand around my throat almost made me moan. What the hell was he
doing?! I felt wetness between my thighs, and I knew the moment Logan
smelled it because his pupils dilated, and he gulped.
“My little devil.” he growled playfully and let me go.

I looked back toward Andrew and took a deep breath. Thankfully, Andrew
was back at making lunch, and he didn’t pay attention to us.
Logan’s hand found a way in between my thighs. I looked down abruptly.
What was he doing?! His fingers caressed my leg and moved up slowly. My
breath got caught in my throat. He brushed his thumb on my clit and kissed
my neck gently. I almost came right then and there.
Holy…
I grabbed his hand and moved it away. I looked up at him and narrowed my
eyes, sending daggers at him.
My brother was right there!
Logan winked at me and laughed before sitting down on a bar stool next to
me.
Two can play this game, my Alpha.
I was going to get him back.

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX – If you hurt her…
Logan POV
Watching Emma in those tights and a sports bra had my heartbeat going a
mile a minute, with no signs of slowing down.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Thank Goddess, I was sitting down, and Andrew couldn’t see the very
obvious bulge in my pants.
She was driving me fucking crazy.
“Okay, little one.” Andrew said, panting hard. “Not bad, not bad at all.”
He was right. She was amazing. She was fast, and she knew just where to hit
to incapacitate her opponent.
I was proud of her.
I was turned on as fuck.
I was so mad at myself because I almost lost her.
“You are amazing, baby.” I said, smiling brightly.
“Jacob did a good job.” Andrew said as he gave Emma a towel. “I do see
room for improvement, so we will be down here every day.”
Emma groaned. “I should have kept my mouth shut.”
Andrew and I gave her a stern look. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the
water bottle.

I wanted to spank that tight little ass of hers for rolling her eyes at me.
My dick just became painfully hard.
Shit.
I needed to calm down.
I had to remind myself constantly that she was new to all of this. She never
had sex. She had never been touched before. She had never done anything
with another man before. I was so fucking happy about that, but a small part
of me wanted to teach her everything right the fuck now so that I could fuck
her like I intended to.
I didn’t know if I was more turned on by her innocence or all the ways I
imagined fucking her once she got more comfortable.
I watched her as she walked to the bench I was sitting on. She picked up her
phone and scrolled through it.
“I am going to go take a shower.” Andrew said as he started walking upstairs.
As soon as the door behind him closed, I grabbed Emma’s arm and pulled her
toward me.
Her eyes widened and she stumbled. I caught her and placed her on my lap.
She straddled me and placed her arms on my shoulders. I lifted my hips,
pressing myself against her pussy.
She moaned, and I pressed my lips on hers, silencing her.
“Do you see what you do to me?” I growled, grabbing her ass and pressing
her down on me.
My dick was throbbing, and I was so fucking close to ruining another pair of
boxers today.
“Oh, shit.” she moaned, thrusting against me.

“You are driving me crazy.” I groaned, matching her thrusts.
She kissed me, and I almost turned into a puddle on the fucking floor. I
reached under her sports bra, and I was about to pinch her little erect nipple,
when I heard Andrew’s voice.
“Logan!” he shouted, and Emma stopped kissing me.
He was my best friend, but I was going to kill him.
“What?” I shouted back, removing my hand from under Emma’s sports bra.
“Drake called.” Andrew shouted back. “He will be here soon.”
I grunted and leaned my forehead on Emma’s shoulder.
“Okay.” I yelled back.
Emma chuckled and ran her hand through my hair.
“This is not funny.” I growled. “We need some alone time, baby.”
“I know.” she said softly. “But you need to let me go now. I need a shower.”
I unwrapped my hands from her body reluctantly. She stood up and winked at
me before turning around and walking upstairs, swaying her hips and giving
me a perfect view of her ass.
“You little devil!” I shouted.
She laughed, and I heard the door close behind her.
I would have followed her, but my dick was so obviously hard. It wouldn’t
take Andrew long to know what we were doing down here.
I took a deep breath and tried to distract myself from thinking about her.
Pack jobs. Okay. I needed to talk to Lewis about border security again. I
needed to see Patricia about the gardens. I needed to talk to Wren about the

hospital. He mentioned that he needed new equipment. I needed to talk to my
mom about the packhouse safe room. I should see if it needed to be upgraded.
A few minutes passed, and I looked down. My erection was gone.
Thank fuck.
I stood up, adjusted myself a little, and walked upstairs.
Andrew was sitting in the kitchen, sipping coffee, and scrolling through his
phone.
“What does Drake want?” I asked, grabbing myself a beer from the fridge.
“I don’t know.” Andrew shrugged. “He didn’t say.”
I sighed and sat down opposite Andrew. He put his phone down and gave me
a stern look.
I furrowed my eyebrows. What was that about?
“Now that you and Emma made up, we need to talk.” he said, taking a sip of
his coffee.
Oh. That.
“I already know what you are going to say, Andrew.” I sighed.
“No, you don’t.” he said, shaking his head.
“Okay.” I said, raising my eyebrow. “Talk.”
“You already hurt my little sister.” Andrew said coldly. “You hurt her a lot.
But I can’t really do shit about that because I helped you do it. I hurt her too.”
I gulped and nodded, waiting for him to continue.
“But if you ever do it again, I will kill you.” he growled. “I don’t give a fuck
who or what you are. My best friend, my Alpha, a fucking Moon Goddess, I
don’t care. You hurt her and you are dead.”

If he wasn’t talking about the love of my life, I would have killed him right
then and there. I felt the same. I was ready to claw my own ass if I ever hurt
her again. Not even Leon reacted aggressively toward Andrew, and he was an
Alpha wolf. That was how fucking much I agreed with him.
‘I will help him do it, Logan.’ Leon growled.
I rolled my eyes internally and ignored him.
“She is the most important thing in my world, Logan.” Andrew continued
softly. “She is my sister, my pup. I’ve done so much shit to her, and I don’t
want to do it ever again. I will always protect her from everyone, including
myself and you.”
“She is lucky to have you.” I said. “I am lucky to have you. You are the only
one I would ever trust around her. You are the best brother and the best friend
we could have asked for. I believe that you would kill me, and trust me when
I say that I would help you do it. I can’t hurt her again. I would kill myself
before I could ever do something that would harm her again.”
I meant every word I said. Andrew was the best brother to Emma and the best
fucking friend to me. He made her into the amazing person she was today. I
would always be thankful to him for that. I watched him raise her, and I
always admired him for the way he handled the situation. He was an amazing
person, and we were really fucking lucky to have them in our lives.
“I am sure that Leon would help me kill you.” Andrew smirked, taking
another sip of his coffee.
“He already said that he would.” I sighed, picking up my beer. “He is a
traitor.”
Andrew laughed just as Emma walked into the kitchen.
“What’s so funny?” she asked.
“Nothing, love.” Andrew smiled and reached out to her. “Come here.”

She walked over to him, and he placed her on his lap. He wrapped his arms
around her and kissed her temple.
As much as I wanted to have her closer to me, I understood Andrew’s need as
well. She was his pup, and he needed to feel that she was safe.
Emma leaned her head on his shoulder and looked at me.
I winked at her, and she gave me a small smile.
Goddess, I loved her so fucking much.

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN – Mark her?
Andrew POV
I felt better after talking to Logan. I meant every word I said. I would kill the
fucker if he hurt my pup again. There was no fucking way I was letting that
happen again.
I needed Emma to be safe and happy. She was the most important thing in
my world, and if she got hurt, I would burn the fucking world down.
A knock on the front door interrupted my thoughts.
Emma started getting up, but I held her down. I needed this. I needed to hold
her like I did when she was a child. It calmed me down. It meant that she was
safe.
“Come in.” I shouted.
I heard the front door open and footsteps walking toward the kitchen.
Drake came inside and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Did something happen?” he asked, pointing at Emma in my arms.
“No.” I shook my head. “Just comforting myself.”
“Oh.” Drake chuckled as he sat down. “And Logan is okay with that?”
“Logan knows what I would do to him if he denied me my sister.” I said,
glaring at Logan.
He laughed and nodded. “I know how to pick my battles.”
I rolled my eyes and looked at Drake.
“What did you want to talk about?” I asked, reaching out for my mug and

taking a sip of my coffee.
I ran my hand through Emma’s hair, and she relaxed even further, leaning her
head on my shoulder.
“You will put me to sleep.” she mumbled, making me chuckle.
It always worked.
“Sleep, love.” I said, kissing her forehead. “I will wake you up later.”
I could tell that she was tired. I didn’t know if she slept well after finding out
about the Rogue King.
I looked back at Drake, who was watching Emma and me with a small smile
on his face.
“Drake?” I called him again. “What did you want to talk about?”
“Yes, sorry.” he said, leaning back on the chair he was sitting on. “I had a
conversation with the rogue in the cellars. He said some interesting things.”
He air-quoted “conversation”, giving me and Logan a knowing look.
“What did he say?” Logan asked immediately, clenching his fists.
Emma raised her head and looked at Drake. I tightened my arms around her.
“Well, he didn’t say much, but what he did say was interesting.” Drake said,
crossing his arms over his chest.
“Will you just tell us?” Logan growled.
“He said that the White Wolf’s powers will manifest once she is marked.”
Drake said, looking at Logan.
“What powers?” Logan asked, furrowing his eyebrows. “You said that she
has no magic.”
“I guess we don’t know shit about this.” I sighed angrily.

“I don’t think it’s magic.” Drake said, looking at Emma. “I think it’s
something else.”
“What?” Logan asked, gritting his teeth.
“I’m not sure.” Drake said. “Did you notice something different about
yourself, Emma?”
I looked down at her. She bit her lip and furrowed her eyebrows.
“Well, something happened in the cave.” she mumbled. “But I probably
imagined it.”
“What happened?” Drake asked her.
“I was unconscious most of the time.” Emma sighed. “Rolf was giving me
wolfsbane all the time. He would...”
Logan’s loud growl interrupted Emma.
His fists were clenched and his canines flew out. He was shaking, and I could
tell he was trying not to shift.
He needed Emma.
“Go to him.” I told her as I reluctantly let her go. “He won’t be okay with you
talking about this if he can’t hold you.”
Emma stood up and walked over to Logan. He grabbed her as soon as she
was close to him and pulled her onto his lap.
“Mine.” he growled, his voice mixed with Leon’s.
He buried his nose in her hair and took a deep breath. I could see his body
relaxing immediately.
“It’s okay, Logan.” Emma said softly, rubbing his back. “I am yours.”
“You accepted him?” Drake asked, his eyes widening in surprise.

“Of course she did!” Logan growled. “She is mine!”
His canines flew out again as he glared at Drake.
Emma placed her hands on Logan’s face and forced him to look away from
Drake.
“I am yours, Logan.” she said softly as she placed a small kiss on his lips.
“It’s okay. No one will take me away from you.”
Watching her kiss him was weird. So fucking weird. But it was something I
was going to have to get used to.
Logan grabbed her and kissed her. He leaned his forehead on hers and closed
his eyes.
“I am sorry.” he mumbled as he took a deep breath. “It’s hard for me to listen
to this.”
“It’s okay, Logan.” I said.
“Will it be easier now that you are holding her?” Drake asked. “If not, maybe
we could talk to Emma alone.”
Logan growled again, making Drake raise his hands in surrender.
“It was just a suggestion.” Drake said defensively. “Don’t bite my head off.”
“I will stay right the fuck here.” Logan growled.
“Okay.” Drake nodded. “Can we continue then?”
Logan nodded, pulling Emma closer to him and kissing her temple.
“What happened in the cave, love?” I asked Emma, giving her a small smile.
“As I said, he was giving me wolfsbane.” Emma said, running her fingers
through Logan’s hair. “I was asleep most of the time. He would give me
another dose of wolfsbane as soon as I woke up.”

Emma stopped talking and glanced at Logan worriedly.
“Go on, baby.” he said. “I am okay.”
“Well, I could hear Eliza while I was there.” Emma said.
My eyes widened. She could hear her wolf even though there was wolfsbane
in her body?
Logan and Drake looked as confused as I was.
“What do you mean, baby?” Logan asked her.
“I could hear her.” Emma said, looking at him. “I talked to her.”
“Holy fuck.” Drake mumbled, staring at Emma with his eyes wide open.
“But I must have imagined that.” Emma said, looking at me. “Right?”
Was that even possible? Wolfsbane was poison for werewolves. It could kill
us. Was it possible that it didn’t have the same effect on her as it did on us?
“I don’t know, love.” I mumbled. “What does Eliza say?”
“I already talked to her about it.” Emma said. “She said that she talked to me,
but I don’t know if she remembers correctly. She could have imagined it just
like I did.”
“We could test that theory.” Drake said, looking intently at Emma.
“You are not giving her wolfsbane!” Logan growled, wrapping his arms
around her and pulling her to his chest.
I growled at the same time. I completely agreed with Logan. Drake was
fucking insane if he thought that we would let him do that.
“Not wolfsbane.” Drake sighed. “I was thinking about silver. We could just
have her touch something silver and see if she can communicate with Eliza.”

“I wouldn’t be able to talk to her if I touched silver.” Emma said, shaking her
head. “Rolf put silver handcuffs on me when they took me away. I lost Eliza
immediately.”
Logan growled when she mentioned Rolf again. I clenched my fists, thinking
about Rolf touching her.
“Okay.” Drake nodded. “Maybe you will be able to talk to Eliza even with
silver touching your skin once Logan marks you.”
“You think that I really talked to her?” Emma asked, surprised.
“Probably.” I sighed. “You are powerful, love. You are a very special wolf. It
would make sense if you could do something like that.”
Emma looked at me wide-eyed. I gave her a small smile.
“I am proud of you, baby.” Logan mumbled, kissing her temple.
“There is another thing I wanted to talk to you about.” Drake said, making
the three of us look at him. “Should Logan mark her or not? If he does, she
could use her powers against the Rogue King, but if he manages to take her,
he could kill her while trying to remove the mark. But if Logan doesn’t mark
her, she will be weaker.”
I gulped and looked at Emma.
Logan growled, pulling her to him.
Should he mark her or not?

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT – Dilemma
Logan POV
Of course I was going to mark her.
She was mine! Mine!
I growled at Drake, wrapping my arms around her even tighter.
“I’m marking her.” I said angrily. “She is mine!”
“I never said she wasn’t, Logan.” Drake sighed. “I’m saying that maybe you
should wait. If he takes her...”
The growl that escaped me made the windows shake.
“He is not taking her away from me!” I shouted, standing up with Emma in
my arms. “No one is taking her away from me!”
I wrapped her legs around my waist and held her as close to me as I possibly
could. I started backing away from the table, eyeing Drake suspiciously.
Emma tried to lift her head, but I didn’t let her. I needed to feel her. I needed
to feel every part of her as close to my body as possible.
Leon was going insane. The only thing that kept him inside my body was our
mate in my arms.
“Logan.” Andrew called me, making my look from Drake to him. “No one is
trying to take her away from you. It’s okay. Sit back down, please.”
Emma placed a soft kiss on my neck, and I almost melted into a puddle.
“It’s okay, Logan.” she said softly. “I am yours. No one will take me away.”
Leon whined loudly, and all of his anger disappeared in a second.

I adore her. He whined. I want to be with her, Logan. I want you to shift.
I understood him completely. Emma couldn’t shift right now, and he couldn’t
be with Eliza. They never even got a chance to spend time together. They’ve
never even seen each other.
Because of your stupidity. Leon growled.
I know. I sighed. I already apologized. I will shift and let you be with Emma
as soon as I can.
Leon whined and focused back on our mate in my arms.
I took a deep breath and walked back to the table slowly. I sat down, glaring
at Drake while I did so.
“I am sorry, Logan.” Drake said. “I know this is hard for you. But we need to
talk about this.”
He was right, and I knew it. But that primal, animal, Alpha side of me
couldn’t handle talking about it. Emma was mine. She was a part of my body
and my heart, and no one could take her away from me. Just thinking about it
made me want to burn the fucking world down. Our connection deepened
even more now that she accepted me. I could feel her. I could feel her
emotions even when we weren’t in the same room. She belonged to me and
me only.
“I think he should mark her.” Andrew said. “If what the rogue said is true, it
will make her stronger. She will be able to fight him if he tries to take her.”
“He will not take her!” I growled loudly.
“He won’t.” Andrew nodded. “But he will try to.”
“There is obviously a lot we don’t know about her.” Drake mumbled. “He
has an advantage over us. He is much more familiar with the legend of the
White Wolf than we are.”

My heart clenched painfully and fear washed over me. I pressed her closer to
me and kissed the top of her head.
I would die before I let him take her.
“He definitely knows more.” Andrew sighed, running his fingers through his
hair. “There wasn’t anything about her in our library. It has to be some kind
of witches’ tale.”
“Maybe that’s just what it is.” Emma said, looking at Andrew. “Maybe it’s
just a tale and I’m nothing special.”
“You talked to your wolf while being under the influence of wolfsbane.”
Drake said softly. “Other wolves can’t do that.”
“I could have imagined that.” Emma said. “I was convinced I was going to
die. I was hurt, and sad, and alone. I needed someone to comfort me.”
My heart clenched painfully, and I wanted to stick my claws up my own ass.
We did that to her.
Andrew’s jaw ticked, and he reached across the table, taking her hand in his.
“I am so sorry, love.” Andrew said softly.
“It’s okay.” Emma said, giving him a small smile.
It wasn’t okay. We were idiots.
“You are right, Emma.” Drake continued. “You could have imagined that.
But how do you explain the fact that you survived? You should have died
with that amount of wolfsbane in your body.”
Both Andrew and I growled.
But it was the truth. Wren said that she should have died.
“Drake is right.” Andrew sighed, squeezing Emma’s hand even tighter.
“Wren did say that the amount of wolfsbane in your body was lethal.”

My baby almost died.
Just thinking about it made me so fucking angry. I was ready to tear the
world apart.
“That’s weird.” Emma mumbled.
“Not for you.” Drake smiled. “You are the True Luna. You can do what most
wolves can’t.”
Emma looked up at him and gave him a small smile. Jealousy burned inside
of me. She shouldn’t be smiling at him.
But what pissed me off even more was the way he was looking at her.
I could tell he wanted her. I could tell that he was in love with her.
And I wanted to kill him.
Calm down, Logan. Andrew mind-linked me. You look like you are about
to explode.
He wants her. I growled back, not taking my eyes away from Drake.
He was still staring at my mate with a look of adoration in his eyes.
She is yours. Andrew said. She is sitting in your lap. You are the one who
is holding her. Drake can keep wanting her, but he will never have her.
“I think you should wait, Logan.” Drake said, looking at me. “Don’t mark her
until we deal with the Rogue King. If he takes her, he will want to remove the
mark. It could kill her.”
I wasn’t surprised that he thought I shouldn’t mark her. Maybe he thought
that he had a chance with her.
Fucker.
As if I would let him touch her.

MINE! Leon growled possessively.
“Emma and I will talk about it privately.” I said, trying to stop myself from
killing him. “It’s our decision. Not yours.”
“I understand that.” Drake nodded, glancing back at Emma. “But I also know
that the desire to mark her could cloud your judgment. Please think about it
before doing anything.”
He still thinks he has a chance with her. I mind-linked Andrew. He doesn’t
want me to mark her so he can take her away from me.
Andrew didn’t respond, but he glanced at me, and I could tell that he agreed
with me.
“I will always put her safety first.” I said sternly, looking back at Drake. “She
is mine and I will always take care of her. You don’t have to worry about
that.”
Drake nodded, not taking his eyes away from Emma.
I was pissed the fuck off and wanted him to leave.
“Can Emma and I talk privately, please?” I asked as calmly as I could.
“Yes, of course.” Andrew said immediately, sensing my need for Drake to
leave. “Drake and I could go to the library and look through the books again.
Maybe I missed something the first time I was there.”
“Sure.” Drake said, standing up and smiling at Emma.
Andrew walked over to us, and I let Emma stand up, so he could hug her.
“I will be right back, love.” Andrew said as he kissed the top of her head.
“Okay.” she said, hugging him tightly.
“Take care of her.” Andrew told me as he and Drake left the kitchen.

Drake never looked away from Emma.
I pulled her back onto my lap as soon as they left the kitchen. My lips were
on her neck a second later. My hand was squeezing her thigh as soon as I
heard the front door close.
She moaned quietly, and I wanted to rip her clothes into tiny little pieces so
that I could touch and taste every fucking piece of her skin.
“Fuck, baby.” I mumbled at her neck.
I needed her. I fucking needed her. I needed to know that she was mine and
not Jacob’s. She was mine and not Drake’s.
Mine, only mine.

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE – The best feeling in the
world
Logan POV
“Emma, baby, I need you.” I mumbled, capturing her lips with mine.
I could smell her arousal and I growled.
Fuck. I needed to taste her now.
Her tongue entered my mouth, and I sucked on it gently, making her moan.
“Can I take you upstairs?” I mumbled, biting her lower lip.
“Yes.” she mumbled, looking at me with her lust-filled eyes.
She was going to fucking kill me if she continued looking at me like that.
I growled and stood up with her in my arms. She wrapped her legs around my
waist and moaned when she felt my rock-hard dick pressing between her
legs.
I wrapped my arms tightly around her, making sure that she was as close to
me as possible. I needed to feel her.
I rushed upstairs, not moving my lips away from hers. I just couldn’t get
enough of her taste.
I kicked her bedroom door in and laid her down on the bed. I made sure that
all of my weight wasn’t on her.
Her legs were still wrapped around me, so she pulled me closer, making my
dick grind against her.
“Oh, shit.” she cried out.

“Do you like this, baby?” I asked her as I continued grinding myself against
her.
I lowered my head and kissed her neck. I sucked on her marking spot,
making her gasp and grab a fistful of my hair.
“Oh, Logan, please…” Emma cried out, pressing herself closer to me.
I grinned. I could cum just listening to her moaning and begging me.
“What do you need me to do, baby?” I asked, kissing her jaw.
She didn’t say anything, and I looked up at her. I smirked when I saw her
blushing.
“Do you need me to make you cum?” I asked, lowering my lips to hers.
Her eyes widened, and I could hear her heart rate pick up. The nod she gave
me was barely noticeable.
“Words, Emma.” I said, tracing her lips with my tongue.
“Yes.” she mumbled, blushing even more.
I smiled at her and got up on my knees. I removed my shirt, and Emma’s
eyes widened even more.
“Holy…” she mumbled, staring down my body.
“Like what you see?” I asked, feeling a little smug.
My mate liked me. She wanted me. I was on a fucking cloud nine.
Emma lifted her hand and traced down my abs all the way to the waistband of
my pants. She sat up and placed a kiss on my stomach, making me groan. My
dick was fucking ready to burst.
She looked up at me and I almost fainted. I couldn’t even count the number
of times I jerked myself off in the shower, picturing her just like this. The

only thing that was missing from my fantasy was my dick in her mouth. But
she wasn’t ready for that. I needed to wait a little bit longer.
She traced the waistband of my pants with her fingers while placing soft
kisses on my abs. I was fucking gone. This had to be what people felt when
they were high on drugs. I couldn't even imagine what I'd feel like once I was
inside her.
I grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her head back.
“You are fucking perfect.” I growled, kissing her as hard as I could.
I grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it over her head. She wasn’t
wearing a bra, and I could see her perfect breasts immediately. Her nipples
were already hard, and I couldn’t wait to pinch them, suck them, and do
everything else she would let me do.
“Do you trust me, baby?” I asked, laying her back down and lowering my
head to kiss her collarbone.
I wanted to taste her. I wanted to make her cum and taste her. I needed it. She
was a fucking drug, and I needed her.
“I do.” she mumbled, looking down at me.
I lowered my head further down and kissed the area between her breasts. I
pinched one of her nipples gently, making her moan.
“I am going to make you cum, baby.” I said, kissing down her body. “But this
time I am going to use my lips. I am going to suck your clit and put a finger
inside you. I am going to taste you because that is the only fucking thing I’ve
been dreaming of for a while.”
I could hear her labored breathing. I looked up at her and smiled. She was
staring at me wide-eyed.
“Logan, I don’t…” she mumbled.
“I know, baby.” I said, kissing below her bellybutton and making her squirm.

“I won’t do it if you don’t want me to. But I want you to know that you have
nothing to be embarrassed about. You are perfect and you are mine.”
I put my fingers inside her waistband and looked up at her. I wanted her so
fucking much, but I would never do anything against her will.
She nodded, but I needed her to speak up.
“Words, Emma.” I said, kissing below her bellybutton again.
“Yes.” she said, moaning quietly.
I smiled and pulled down her pants and her underwear in one motion.
The sight of her naked under me made my heart almost jump out of my body.
She was fucking perfect, and every fucking inch of her was mine.
She tried to cross her legs, but she couldn’t because I was kneeling between
them.
“Fuck, no, baby.” I said, placing my hands on her thighs. “Let me see you.
All of this is mine, and I want to see everything. Never be embarrassed with
me, okay?”
She nodded, staring at me. She was blushing and her chest was falling up and
down rapidly, making her breasts bounce a little.
I was a touch away from ruining my pants again.
I lowered myself back down between her legs. She was so fucking wet
already. I groaned, leaning in and looking up at her.
“Are you sure, baby?” I asked, not knowing what the fuck I would do if she
said no.
“Yes.” she said, clenching her fists.
She was too tense. I took her hand in mine and interlaced our fingers. She

relaxed slightly, and it made me smile.
I lowered my mouth onto her pussy, licking from the bottom to her clit.
I didn’t know if I was going insane, but she even fucking tasted like
strawberries and watermelon.
She gasped and bucked her hips. I used my other hand to keep her still.
“Easy, baby.” I mumbled, closing my mouth around her clit.
I sucked on it gently, making her cry out. She grabbed a fistful of my hair,
keeping me in place, as if I would have moved. I was in heaven, and I wasn’t
leaving anytime soon.
I started sucking a little harder, flicking her clit with my tongue from time to
time.
“Oh, Logan.” she moaned, arching her back and giving me a perfect view of
her erect nipples.
I moved my hand away from her hip and placed it between her legs.
“I am going to put a finger inside, baby.” I said, teasing her wet entrance. “It
may feel weird at first, but you will enjoy it. I promise.”
“Yes, please.” she said, breathing heavily.
I chuckled and winked at her. Someone was a little impatient.
I lowered my mouth back down on her clit and started inserting my finger.
“Oh shit.” Emma mumbled, squeezing my hand in hers.
She was so fucking tight, and I couldn’t wait to get my dick in here. I inserted
my finger in and waited a little bit before I started pumping it in and out
gently.
“Oh, my…” Emma moaned, arching her back again.

I sucked on her clit harder, flicking it with my tongue and pumping my finger
in and out of her.
She tightened around me, and I knew that she was cumming.
I smiled as I heard her cry out and moan my name.
I sucked on her clit a few more times, knowing how sensitive it was now, and
not wanting to hurt her. I pulled my finger out of her and looked up.
She was staring at me completely dazed. She was breathing hard, and I
smiled at her.
“This should be illegal.” she mumbled, making me laugh.
“That good, ha?” I asked with a hint of smug in my voice.
“My legs are shaking.” she said, laying back down and staring at the ceiling.
I chuckled and kissed her body all the way to her delicious mouth.
“You taste fucking amazing.” I said, nibbling on her lower lip.
“Logan?” she called me softly.
“Yes, baby?” I said, kissing her jaw.
“I love you.” she said quietly, making my heart stop beating.
I looked at her and she smiled at me.
“It’s a weird time to tell you, but I wanted to.” she chuckled. “Not because of
what you just did, but because I wanted you to know. I loved you from the
moment I found out that you were my mate.”
My heart felt like it was going to explode. I was never happier than at that
moment.
I grabbed her and pulled her closer to me. I kissed as hard as I fucking could.

“Say it again.” I mumbled against her lips.
“I love you.” she said, chuckling.
“Oh, I love you too, baby.” I cried out, kissing her again.
Andrew’s voice in my head startled me completely.
LOGAN! He screamed. THE ROGUE KING IS HERE! HIDE EMMA!
NOW!

CHAPTER SEVENTY – The Rogue King
Andrew POV
I ran out of the packhouse, looking around frantically.
“Get to the safe room!” I yelled at women and children.
I saw aunt Gloria picking up a pup who was crying loudly. She tried to
soothe him while she looked around.
Our eyes met, and she ran toward me.
“Where is Logan?” she asked, and I could hear the fear in her voice.
“With Emma.” I responded. “He will be here soon.”
“Okay.” she nodded, taking my hand in hers and squeezing it tightly. “Be
careful, okay?”
“I will, aunt Gloria.” I said, looking around and trying to find Drake. “Go to
the safe room, please.”
She nodded and turned around, running inside the pack house.
“Andrew!” I heard Drake calling my name.
I turned around and saw him running toward me.
“Where is Emma?” he asked worriedly.
“Logan is hiding her.” I said, trying to keep calm.
Beta, we won’t be able to keep them out for long! One of the warriors from
the border mind-linked me. There is a witch here, Beta, and she is doing
someth…

Our mind link cut off.
Peter?! I yelled back at him, but there was no response.
Fuck!
Jacob?! I tried mind-linking him.
Yes, Beta? He answered and I sighed in relief.
What the fuck is going on there? I asked, running after Drake and toward
the border.
He brought a witch. He responded, and I could hear him panting hard. She
is using her magic to restrain us.
“Fuck!” I yelled, running faster.
“What happened?” Drake asked me.
“A witch is with him.” I growled. “She is using magic to restrain our
warriors.”
I heard footsteps behind us. I turned around and saw a very pissed-off Logan
running toward us.
“Where is Emma?” I asked as soon as he got close enough.
“Hidden well.” he growled. “Where is the fucker?”
“At the border.” I answered as we continued to run. “He brought a witch with
him.”
Logan growled and started running faster. He looked like a beast at this
moment. His muscles were tense, and his nostrils were flared. He was
clenching his fists tightly.
A few moments later, we arrived at the border. It was fucking chaos. Our
wolves were fighting hard, but there were too many rogues. I saw a cloaked

figure standing close to the border with her hands high up in the air. Vines
started spurting out of the ground, tangling up around our wolves’ paws,
making it impossible for them to move.
Some of our warriors were wounded badly, but none of them were dead.
Thank you, Goddess.
Logan growled loudly, and suddenly the rogues stopped fighting.
What the fuck?!
They started backing away, snarling at our warriors. The vines loosened and
disappeared like they never existed.
“Alpha Logan.” I heard a deep voice coming from the forest. “I’ve been
expecting you.”
Logan growled again, stepping closer to the border.
“What the fuck do you want?” Logan growled.
The man stepped closer to us and smiled. He was maybe a year or two older
than Logan and me. He was big and muscular, but Logan and I were bigger.
“I am here for my mate.” he said calmly. “You can hand her over to me and I
will leave your pack peacefully. There is no need for a bloodbath.”
Logan and I growled loudly, making the fucker chuckle.
“No need for your growls.” he said. “I’m just here to take what’s mine. This
doesn’t concern you.”
“She is mine!” Logan growled as he started shaking. “You won’t lay a finger
on her! You won’t even lay your eyes on her!”
“Oh, but Alpha, you rejected her.” the fucker smiled. “She is not yours
anymore.”

Logan’s growl made the trees shake.
We are attacking the fucker. Logan mind-linked all of us. Wait for my
signal. The fucker and the witch have to die. Did I make myself clear?
Yes, Alpha. I heard multiple replays at once.
“She is mine!” Logan growled. “She will always be mine! You will never
touch a single hair on her head!”
NOW! Logan screamed through the mind-link, and we moved.
I heard multiple growls around us, and I let Asher take over.
I waited for the familiar feeling of shifting into my wolf, but it never came.
Instead, I felt vines wrapping themselves around my legs and my arms, all the
way to my neck.
Fuck!
I looked around and saw all of our warriors in the same position as me.
Logan and Drake were trapped as well.
“Did you really think it would be that easy?” the fucker chuckled, turning
around. “Jack, come here.”
Another man came closer to us, bowing his head slightly.
“This is my Beta.” the fucker said. “He will go get my mate.”
“Where is she?” Jack asked, turning around to look at the witch.
“She is alone somewhere.” the witch spoke quietly. “She is not in the
packhouse with the rest. Check the houses to the north.”
Jack nodded, turning back around and stepping on our territory.
“Stay the fuck away from her!” Logan growled, trying to free himself of the
vines wrapped around his body.

For a moment there, I thought that he would succeed, but the vines only
tightened around him.
He was growling loudly, looking back at Jack, who was walking deeper and
deeper into our territory.
I heard growls and screams all around me. Our warriors were trying to free
themselves from the vines. I was trying to do the same, but it was impossible.
My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I could feel Asher,
but it felt like he was far away, out of my reach.
Emma, love. I tried to mind-link her. You need to run. You need to hide
somewhere else.
There was nothing. I couldn’t reach her.
Emma! I tried again, trying to stop the panic from suffocating me.
“You can stop trying to mind-link her.” the fucker chuckled, making Logan
and I growl loudly. “The vines prevent you from mind-linking. See, I thought
of everything.”
“He won’t be able to find her!” Logan growled. “Give the fuck up!”
“Oh, but he will.” the fucker chuckled, pacing back and forth. “Shall I tell
you something about her while we wait? I know that you don’t really know
much about the White Wolf. Would you like me to tell you who she is and
what she can do?”
I couldn’t focus on him. I kept trying to free myself. I kept trying to mindlink
Emma. I can’t let them take her. I can’t let them hurt her.
My pup. I heard Asher’s broken whine, but it was far, far away.
He was trapped somewhere deep inside of me, and I couldn’t reach him.
She will be okay. I tried to tell him. I won’t let them hurt her. I won’t let them
hurt our pup, Asher!

I wasn’t sure he heard me. I wasn’t even sure what I was doing anymore. I
couldn’t free myself. I couldn’t mind-link Emma. I couldn't do shit, and it
was driving me fucking insane.
“The story of the True Luna is really a legend among the witches.” I heard
the fucker’s voice. “I wasn’t even aware of it until a witch told me about it.
The most fascinating thing about her is that she is stronger than any other
wolf. She can’t be hurt or killed using wolfsbane or silver. She is
indestructible and very valuable. She is the only creation on this earth that
can share her abilities with others.”
I heard gasps all around us. Our pack members didn’t know how special she
was. We didn’t even know how special she was. We knew bits and pieces,
but not this. If what this fucker was saying was true, then she was really
extraordinary.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE – Samuel
Logan POV
Emma, baby, run! I tried mind-linking her again. Run, baby, please! Hide
somewhere else!
The fucker said we couldn’t mind-link her, but maybe she could hear me.
Maybe I couldn’t hear her, but maybe she could hear me.
Run, baby, please! I screamed through the mind-link.
“So, you see, when I mark her, she will be able to share her magic with me
and the rest.” the fucker continued, making me growl loudly. “Now, while
she is unmarked and unmated, she can’t share her powers with anyone.”
“You will never mark her!” I screamed, trying to stop my heart from
breaking. “She will never be yours!”
“Oh, but she will.” the fucker laughed. “If you hadn’t rejected her, I would
never have been able to take her. She would be marked and mated by now,
and you would be able to stop me so easily. But you rejected her, just like the
witch told me you would. You did this to yourself, Alpha Logan.”
I growled and tried to shift. I wanted to rip him to pieces. I was going to rip
him to fucking pieces!
“I will mark my mate as soon as the witches are done with her.” he
continued, making my heart stop beating. “I promised them that they could
experiment on her in exchange for their help in finding her and bringing her
to me. They are fascinated with her. I mean, who wouldn’t be?”
The fucker chuckled. Andrew and I growled loudly. The rest of my wolves
started shouting and cursing him.
Baby, please run. I cried through the mind-link. Run to the forest north of

the territory. I will come and find you, baby. Please run.
“I will come back with her as my Luna.” he continued. “I will give you two
options. You will either surrender and give your pack to me, or I will kill
you. I will be the most powerful Alpha once I have her and her powers, and
you won’t be able to defeat us.”
“You will never have her!” I growled. “You will never have my pack! I will
fucking kill you!”
The fucker smiled at me and shook his head.
“So, is my mate as pretty as the witches say she is?” he asked, looking from
me to Andrew.
I growled loudly.
“Stay the fuck away from her!” Andrew screamed, trashing and trying to free
himself of the vines.
I could tell that he was getting tired of trying to escape the vines. My wolves
were getting tired of trying to escape the vines. Each time we moved, the
vines tightened around our bodies.
“And why do you care, Beta Andrew?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.
Andrew growled in response.
“Why does he care?” the fucker asked, turning toward the cloaked witch.
The witch tilted her head and stayed silent for a moment.
“He is related to her.” she said quietly, making Andrew growl loudly.
“Related?” the fucker looked back at Andrew, wide-eyed. “You are too
young for her to be your pup. Is she your sister? Your cousin?”
Andrew growled loudly, narrowing his eyes at the fucker.

“I am going to guess that she is your sister.” the fucker laughed. “Well, well,
well. Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack is my brother-in-law. I’m making
connections everywhere I go.”
I could feel my blood boil, and my anger blinded me for a second.
“I will kill you!” Andrew screamed.
The fucker laughed and shook his head.
“Is that how you talk to your sister’s mate?” he asked, raising his eyebrows at
Andrew. “Your sister won’t be impressed.”
Emma, baby, hide. I said through the mind-link again. I will come find you.
Hide.
The fucker looked behind us, and his eyes widened. I tried to turn around, but
the vines wouldn’t let me.
“She is beautiful.” he mumbled, making my heart stop.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Fuck!
“No!” Andrew screamed and started trashing even harder than before.
My eyes fell on my mate. She was staring at the scene in front of her, and I
could tell that she was shocked.
That fucker, Jack, had his hand wrapped around her arm and he was pulling
her toward us.
He was touching my mate!
I growled loudly, making Emma look at me. Her eyes widened even more.
“Well, if it isn’t my beautiful mate.” the fucker said happily. “You are

gorgeous.”
Emma looked at him, and I saw fear in her eyes.
My heart broke into a million tiny pieces. My mate was afraid, and I was
stuck.
I was fucking stuck!
“She is not fucking yours!” I screamed. “Stay the fuck away from her!”
Jack dragged Emma to stand between us and the fucker.
“Hello, beautiful.” the fucker mumbled, staring at her, mesmerized. “My
name is Samuel, but you can call me Sam. I am your mate, after all. What is
your name?”
She was standing so close to me. If I could free my arm from the vines, I
would be able to reach out and grab her.
“You are not my mate.” Emma said.
The fucker smiled and took a step closer, making Andrew and me growl
loudly.
“Oh, beautiful, I am.” he said. “Alpha Logan rejected you, remember? I am
here to take you back home. You belong with me.”
“No!” Andrew screamed and trashed again.
It was pointless, though. No matter how angry we were, we couldn’t get out
of this fucking trap.
Emma looked at him and he broke down.
“Run, love, please.” he cried out. “Run. I will find you, okay? Run.”
Tears fell on Emma’s cheeks and a quiet sob escaped her.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” the fucker sighed. “I will kill them all if

you don’t do as I say.”
I growled and the trees shook.
“Don’t listen to him, baby.” I said to her.
“What’s your name, beautiful?” he asked again.
“Emma.” she said quietly, looking at me.
“Emma.” he said with a small smile. “Beautiful. Just like you.”
“If I go with you, will you leave them alone?” she asked, making Andrew
and I scream.
“Emma, no!”
“Fuck no!”
“I will.” Samuel said, ignoring our screams. “I will even let you say goodbye
to your brother. I am not a heartless monster.”
“Emma, no!” Andrew screamed. “Run, Emma. Don’t listen to him!”
“Emma, baby, please don’t do this.” I added, trashing hard.
I could feel Leon’s anger and pain, but I couldn’t reach him. If I could just
shift, I would be able to break through the vines and kill the bastard.
Leon, can you hear me? I tried talking to my wolf. I need you. Our mate
needs you. We need to shift.
I could feel him trying to reach me. I could even hear him growl. But I
couldn’t shift. The magic was stopping me.
“Come on, Emma.” Samuel said. “Let’s go home.”
Emma turned around to look at me. Tears were streaming down her cheeks,
and she was shaking.

“I love you.” she said. “Always remember that, okay? I love you.”
My heart was breaking, and I wanted to claw at my chest to stop the pain.
“Don’t do this, baby.” I cried out.
Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She looked at Samuel and
clenched her fists.
“Can I hug them?” she asked quietly.
“You can hug your brother.” Samuel said. “Your ex-mate is off limits. I am a
jealous wolf, Emma.”
I growled loudly.
I was going to kill him.
Emma walked over to Andrew and wrapped her arms around him. She leaned
her head on his chest, and he buried his nose in her hair.
“Emma, don’t do this.” he cried out. “Run, please, run.”
“I love you, Andrew.” she sobbed. “You are the best big brother. You are the
best dad. I love you so much. Thank you for everything that you did for me.
You gave me a wonderful life and I will never be able to repay you. I love
you.”
“Don’t do this to me, love.” Andrew sobbed. “Don’t do this.”
“I love you.” she repeated, tightening her arms around him the best she could
with the vines wrapped around him.
“I love you too.” he said. “I will find you, okay? I will find you.”
“Let’s go, Emma.” Samuel said, walking toward her and grabbing her arm.
“No!” I screamed again.
Andrew growled, trying to free himself again. Our warriors trashed even

harder than before. I could hear Drake and Jacob screaming her name.
“I will see you again.” Samuel said, walking away and pulling Emma behind
him. “We will come back as Alpha and Luna to take over the pack.”
“I love you.” Emma sobbed, looking at me. “I love you.”
“I love you too, baby.” I cried out. “I will come and get you, okay? I will find
you, Emma!”
He pulled her away, and a few moments later, I couldn’t see her anymore.
“No!” I screamed loudly.
“Emma!” Andrew screamed, choking on a sob.
I heard Jacob and Drake calling after her. I heard the rest of my wolves
screaming. I saw them trashing against the vines. I saw them trying to rip the
vines from the ground. But it was pointless.
My baby was gone.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO – Sam
Emma POV
“Come on, beautiful.” Samuel said. “Hurry up.”
His hold on my arm tightened, and I stumbled behind him. I kept turning
around, wishing I could just run back to the safety of my mate’s arms.
“There is no use in looking back, Emma.” Samuel sighed. “You won’t go
back there for a while.”
My heart clenched painfully, and I wanted to scream. I just wanted to go back
to my mate. I just wanted to go back to my brother.
“Why are you doing this?” I asked desperately. “There is nothing special
about me. I am just like any other wolf.”
Samuel turned around and grinned. “No, you are not. Do you even know
anything about yourself, Emma?”
I gulped and shook my head.
“You are very special.” Samuel said. “You are the only creature on Earth that
can share her magic with others. Well, you can’t do it right now. You will be
able to do it once I mark you.”
My stomach twisted painfully. Just thinking about him being close to me
made me want to scream. I couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like to
have his lips on my neck. I couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like to
have his hands on my body. I didn’t want that. I wanted Logan. Just Logan.
“I don’t have magic.” I mumbled quietly.
“Yes, you do.” Samuel chuckled. “Maybe you are not aware of it, but you do
have it, Emma. “You will discover it once the witches start their experiment.”

My heart skipped a beat. What was he talking about?!
“Experiment?” I asked, glancing at the cloaked witch walking a little further
away.
“Well, beautiful, you came with a cost.” Samuel sighed, gripping my arm
even tighter. “In order to find you and take you, I had to promise the witches
a little bit of time alone with you. They are fascinated with your abilities, and
they want to do an experiment or two.”
My heart started beating erratically, and a cold shiver ran down my spine.
“What will they do to me?” I asked, my voice trembling.
Samuel looked down at me and gave me a small smile.
“Don’t worry, beautiful.” he said, lifting his hand and caressing my cheek. “It
will hurt, but you will be okay. It won’t kill you. I would never let them kill
my mate.”
I flinched away from him, and he frowned.
“I am not your mate.” I said, clenching my fists. “I will never be your mate. I
will never love you. I will never do what you want me to do.”
Samuel laughed, throwing his head back.
“Love?” he mocked me. “I don’t need you to love me, beautiful. I need you
to give me your power, and I need you to carry my children. But after I mark
you, you will definitely love me.”
“I will never let you mark me.” I said, gritting my teeth.
Samuel looked down at me and smiled warmly. It didn’t suit him. He was a
heartless monster who took me away from my family. He shouldn’t have
been smiling at me like that. It was wrong.
“You are feisty.” he said. “I like you. I will have a lot of fun marking you and

even more fun mating with you.”
My stomach turned again. The memory of Logan’s fingers inside me flashed
through my mind, and I wanted to cry. What if I never felt him again? What
if this monster took away something that was only Logan’s? What if I never
felt Logan inside me again? Not just his fingers. Him. I wanted him inside of
me. What if I never got to feel that?
“Are you a virgin?” Samuel asked, looking down at me.
I didn’t respond, but the blush that formed on my cheeks was enough for him
to know the answer.
“Oh, wonderful!” he exclaimed happily. “You will be mine and mine only.
There is something so fucking hot about that. I will have so much fun with
you, Emma.”
“You will have fun raping me?” I asked, trying to rip my hand out of his
grasp.
He looked down at me angrily and pulled me even closer to him.
“Again, I am not a monster, Emma.” he said. “I would never do that to you or
to any other woman. You will be begging me to fuck you, and I will gladly
do so.”
That would never happen.
I glared at him, and he laughed.
“Oh, my beautiful little mate, I will have so much fun with you.” he said,
placing his arm over my shoulders. “I can’t wait until the witches are finished
with you.”
Maybe I will die during their experiments and he won’t be able to have me.
I heard a loud roar in the distance, and my heart raced.
Logan.

I looked back, hoping that I would hear the thud of his paws.
“The magic wore off.” the witch said, making me look back at her.
“It doesn’t matter.” Samuel said. “We are close to home anyway.”
I furrowed my eyebrows, and looked around. We were in the middle of the
forest on no-man’s land. Where was his home, and how the hell weren’t we
able to find him if he was this close all the time?
My questions were answered when we entered a cave.
Really? A cave? Again? What was it with rogues and caves?
My stomach turned, and fear washed over me. I remembered Rolf, his words,
and his touches.
Samuel must have noticed the fear on my face because his eyebrows
furrowed and he looked me up and down.
“Not a fan of caves?” he asked. “Don’t worry. It’s much more spacious
underground.”
Underground? He’d built something underground? No wonder we weren’t
able to find him.
I looked around, but I couldn’t see much. The further we walked, the darker it
was.
How big was this cave?
I could smell the humidity in the air, and it made me sick. Rolf’s face flashed
before my eyes, and I had to stop myself from screaming.
Samuel stopped walking abruptly. I looked around, but I couldn’t see
anything.
I heard something heavy scraping against the floor, and suddenly there was a
concrete hallway in front of me.

“Welcome home, Emma.” Samuel said, leaning toward me.
I could feel his breath on the side of my face, and I shivered.
This wasn’t my home. This would never be my home.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE – Insane
Logan POV
I’d never felt pain like this before.
I’d never felt fear like this before.
I’d never felt rage like this before.
As soon as the vines loosened around my body, I jumped and shifted.
I couldn’t control Leon even if I wanted to.
Your Luna has been taken. I opened the mind-link with every member of
my pack. I want everyone capable to go out and search for her. You have
my permission to leave the pack grounds.
The howls that followed after my order made me shiver. I heard multiple
thuds of paws all around me. I saw Asher running next to me. He looked
feral, and I wondered if I looked the same.
Can you feel Eliza? I asked Leon desperately.
I can. He growled back. She is okay. But I don’t know where she is.
Oh, my baby. I wanted her back. I needed her back. I would do absolutely
anything to have her back in my arms. I needed to feel her. I needed to taste
her. I needed her. I fucking needed her.
We will get her back. Leon growled. I will burn the fucking world down. I
will find her. She is mine. MINE!
Can you follow her scent? Andrew growled through our mind link. I’m
losing it.

I could, but I was losing it slowly as well. As her mate, I could find her scent
more easily than any other wolf. It was stronger for me than it was for them. I
would be able to follow it for a while, but I would eventually lose it as well.
Following a scent was tricky. The more time passed, the more scents mixed
together, and it was harder to track the one you were looking for.
Yes. I mind-linked him back. But it’s fading away.
They couldn’t have gone far. Andrew said. We haven’t been restrained
for that long.
He had to be right. I had to find my mate. I would go fucking insane without
her.
Emma, baby? I tried mind-linking her, even though I knew it was pointless.
I love you, baby. I love you so fucking much. I am coming for you. I will
find you, baby.
I knew she couldn’t hear me. I knew it. But I had to try. I just had to.
I could tell the exact moment when the other wolves lost her scent. I felt their
eyes on me, and instead of looking around, they were following me.
If you see the fucker, kill him. I growled through the mind-link with all of
my wolves. I want your Luna back unharmed.
I wanted her back right the fuck now. I needed to feel her body next to mine.
I needed to taste her lips again. I needed to be inside her again. Fuck, I just
needed her.
I could feel Leon’s anger and possessiveness. I could feel how fucking
unhinged he became.
Of course I’m unhinged. He growled loudly. My Emma isn’t with me! Eliza
isn’t with me. I want them with me!
I know, Leon. I growled back. I want them with us too. I want Emma.
If he hurts her… Leon whined. If he touches her…

He won’t! I growled angrily, running even faster than before.
Goddess, Logan, she is so small. Leon whined. He could really hurt her. He
could kill her!
Shut the fuck up, Leon! I growled at my wolf.
He will not touch her! He will not hurt her! I will fucking kill him before he
puts a hand on her!
SHE WAS FUCKING MINE! MINE!
Suddenly, I couldn’t feel her scent anymore.
A loud growl that escaped me made the trees around us shake.
I was fucking furious!
I shifted back in a second, making all the wolves behind me stop abruptly.
“EMMA!” I screamed, clenching my fists, and looking around the forest.
My eyes bulged out of my head, and I thought that I would explode.
“EMMA!” I screamed again.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Andrew shift.
“What the fuck are you doing?!” Andrew screamed at me. “Follow her
scent!”
“I can’t!” I screamed back. “It’s gone!”
Andrew’s eyes widened, and he started looking around frantically.
“Emma!” he screamed.
She didn’t respond. The forest was quiet.

My baby. I needed her. I fucking needed her more than my next breath.
“We should go back to the packhouse and make a plan.” I heard Drake’s
voice.
I growled loudly. Was he fucking insane?!
“Are you shitting me right now?!” I screamed, looking at him. “I am not
leaving this fucking forest without her!”
“Think like an Alpha, Logan.” Drake said calmly. “We don’t know where he
took her. You are just wasting resources by wandering aimlessly around the
forest. We need a plan.”
I had a fucking plan. Find the fucker and rip his heart out for ever laying his
eyes on my mate!
But Drake was right, as much as it pained me to admit it. He was right. I
needed to go back and think. I needed to find someone who knew where his
fucking lair was. I needed to narrow down the search area and use my wolves
strategically.
“Jacob!” I yelled, clenching my fists.
“Yes, Alpha?” he responded immediately, walking closer to me.
“Choose your best warriors.” I said, tightening my jaw. “Continue to search
through the forest. Report back immediately if you find something out.”
He nodded and shifted back into his wolf form. He ran away, followed by
several other warriors.
I looked at Andrew. He was staring into the distance with his jaw clenched
tight. I could feel the pain he was in.
“Let’s go back, Andrew.” I said quietly. “We need to make a plan.”
“Will she be okay, Logan?” Andrew mumbled, his voice breaking.

“Yes.” I said. “We will find her and bring her back home.”
“She is my pup.” Andrew said quietly. “I need my pup back.”
His voice was a mixture of his and Asher’s. I could only imagine how much
pain he was in. She was his whole world.
“We will bring your pup back home, Andrew.” I said. “I promise. We will
bring her home.”

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR – Three days
Andrew POV
It’d been three days since the fucker took her.
It had been three days since I last saw her. It had been three days since the
last time I hugged her. It'd been three fucking days since I last heard her
voice.
Logan and I were both stuck in mid-shift. Neither Asher nor Leon wanted to
retreat. My hands were covered in fur, and my claws were out all the time.
Logan’s canines were always on display, and his claws kept slipping out. We
just couldn’t contain our wolves.
It'd been even harder since Logan felt her pain. They were torturing her. They
were experimenting on her.
On her. On my Emma. On my little sister. On my pup.
I will fucking kill them all. I will rip them to fucking pieces. Nothing would
be left of them once I was done.
I would especially enjoy torturing Samuel. He took my parents from me, and
he had the audacity to think that he could take my sister away from me.
No. Fuck no.
I will get my little sister back. I will do whatever I have to do to find her.
"Anything?" Drake asked, running his fingers through his hair.
Logan growled loudly.
"Fucking shit." Drake mumbled. "Where the fuck did he take her?"

Logan’s claws slipped out again, and a menacing growl escaped him. His
eyes flickered, and his jaw tightened.
They were hurting her again.
No. Please no. My baby. No.
Asher whined loudly and started pressing me to shift. I held him back. I
couldn’t let him out now. I didn’t have time to let him run wild, which is
what he wanted to do.
Logan and I had trouble talking to our wolves. They couldn’t communicate
with us since the fucker took her. All we got from them were growls. We
could feel their intense emotions, though. We felt how fucking angry they
were. We felt how scared they were. We felt their pain. They couldn’t put it
into words, though. Not now. Not when Leon missed his mate and Asher
missed his pup.
"I AM GOING TO KILL THEM ALL!" Logan screamed, his voice a mixture
of his and Leon’s.
The pain that I could see on his face made my heart stop beating. If he was in
this much pain, that meant that my pup was suffering tremendously.
A loud growl escaped my lips, and I couldn’t stop myself once I started
trashing Logan’s office.
I kicked and punched everything I could get my hands and legs on until a pair
of strong hands wrapped around me, stopping me from destroying the whole
fucking office.
"Easy, Andrew." Drake said, tightening his grip on me when I started
trashing. "We will find her. We will find her. It's going to be okay."
Nothing would be okay. My pup was hurting. My pup was in pain. Nothing
would be okay.
My eyes fell on Logan. He was pressing his hands on his head and growling.

This was the worst pain he felt coming from her. This was the worst pain she
felt.
Drake let me go and I stepped away from him.
"This one is longer." Drake mumbled, looking at Logan.
It definitely was. The pain usually lasted for a few seconds. This one lasted
more than a minute.
Asher growled and pressed to come out, but I held him back. If I destroyed
the office, Asher would burn the fucking world down.
"We need to find her." Logan said, his voice trembling. "They are going to
kill her."
My heart stopped beating.
"He needs her." I mumbled. "He won’t kill her."
"It won’t be on purpose." Logan whined, looking up at me. "I can feel her.
She won’t be able to take any more of this. She is tired. She is giving up."
No.
No, no, no, no.
Not my little pup. Not her. Please, Goddess, not her. Don’t take her away
from me!
"She can’t give up." I mumbled, my voice breaking. "Not her. Not my little
girl."
Logan’s eyes held so much pain that I almost threw up.
"I’m trying to connect with her." Logan said, tightening his jaw. "I’m
constantly trying to mind-link her and tell her that we did not give up on her."
"Do you think that she can feel it?" Drake asked.

"I hope so." Logan sighed, running his hand through his hair. "I won't give
up. If there is even the slightest chance that she can feel me, I want her to
know that I am looking for her. I want her to know how fucking much I love
her."
Drake nodded, clenching his fists, and looked down at the floor. Logan was
right. Drake still thought that he had a chance with Emma.
I walked over to the maps I'd thrown on the floor in my fit of rage. I picked
them up and looked at our scribbles of the areas we searched.
Suddenly, a thought came to my mind.
How the fuck didn’t I think of this before?!
I was such a fucking idiot! I wanted to stick my claws up my own ass for
being so fucking stupid.
"What about caves?" I growled, looking up at Logan. "There are a shitload of
cave systems just outside of our territory. That would be the perfect place for
the fucker to hide. It would also explain why we weren’t able to find him.”
Logan walked over to me and looked at the area I was pointing at.
"Fucker." Logan growled. "That would also explain how fast they
disappeared from the fucking forest."
I nodded, and a small wave of relief washed over me.
We finally had a clue. We finally had something to grab onto.
"I mind-linked Jacob." Logan said, looking up at me. "I’m sending our
warriors to search the area."
I nodded again, looking down at the map. The cave system was huge. The
fucker could really be hiding there. The entrance was close to the spot where
Logan lost her scent.
My pup could really be there.

We would find her. We would find my pup.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE – Giving up
Emma POV
“Hello, my beautiful little Luna.” I heard a voice that made me sob.
I shut my eyes even tighter, praying to the Goddess that he wouldn't touch
me.
“Oh, don’t cry.” he said, walking closer to me. “It will be over soon. The
witches are almost finished. You did amazing, just like I knew you would.”
I wanted it to be over. I wanted to die. I didn’t know what hurt more, their
experiments or his touches. I just wanted it to stop.
He placed a hand on my thigh, making me flinch. I couldn’t move away
because of the chains.
“Do you think that Logan feels my hands on your body?” he asked, moving
his hand up. “Do you think that he will feel it when I enter this sweet pussy?”
I clenched my fists, and a louder sob escaped me.
Hearing his name was like a knife through my heart. I missed my mate so
much. I wanted to see him. I wanted to hear his voice. I wanted to feel his
hands on my body.
“Don’t cry, beautiful.” he laughed, moving his hand away from in-between
my thighs. “You will want me to fuck you. You will beg me to fuck you.”
I felt his breath on my face, and a cold shiver went down my spine.
“Open your eyes, Emma.” he commanded.
I shook my head, but he grabbed my face and stopped me.

“Open your eyes.” he growled.
I listened to him and opened my eyes. He smiled at me, moved the piece of
cloth from my mouth, and pressed his lips against mine.
My stomach turned, and I almost threw up.
He lifted his head and laughed.
“You taste amazing, beautiful.” he said. “I can’t wait to taste every part of
your body.”
I felt warm tears slide down my face and into my hair.
“I will let you rest.” he said. “The witches will be back in a couple of hours.”
He placed the cloth back over my mouth and winked at me.
I watched as he left the room. He closed and locked the door behind him.
I sobbed and closed my eyes again. I didn’t want to be awake anymore. I
couldn’t look at the damp walls. I couldn’t look at the chains on my body. I
couldn’t look at the burns, the cuts, and the bruises.
I couldn’t do any of this anymore. I wanted to leave this world behind. I
wanted to give up. I wanted to go.
A soft breeze touched my skin, and I furrowed my eyebrows. What was that?
The room I was in didn’t have windows.
I opened my eyes and gasped.
I wasn’t chained to the bed anymore. I didn’t have a cloth over my mouth. I
wasn’t in that room anymore.
I was on an open field. I could feel the sun on my skin. I could hear the
stream nearby. I could smell the flowers all around me.
I was dreaming.

I looked down, and I wasn’t wearing the dirty, ripped jeans and a hoodie. I
was wearing my favorite yellow sundress with white daisies all over it.
“Emma?” a voice I missed so much called my name.
My head snapped up, and I saw my mate standing a few feet away, looking at
me wide-eyed.
“Emma.” he repeated quietly, his voice breaking.
He reached out for me, and I closed the distance between us, jumping up in
his arms.
I wrapped my legs around his waist and leaned my head on his shoulder. He
held me tight against his chest, kissing the top of my head repeatedly.
“Oh, my baby.” he cried out. “I missed you, my love. I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.” I said as I lifted my head and pressed my lips against his.
He groaned and opened his mouth so my tongue could slip inside. The taste
of him made me shiver.
This dream was so realistic. It was so hard to believe that it was only a
dream.
“I love you.” I mumbled, leaning my forehead against his.
“Oh, baby, I love you too.” he said. “I will find you, okay? We know where
you are. We are coming for you.”
My heart broke. I wanted it to happen so much that I dreamed about him
saying that he would find me.
I looked at him and gave him a small smile.
“I will miss you so much.” I said quietly. “Promise me that you will take care
of Andrew, okay?”

“What are you talking about, baby?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowing.
“Why would you miss me? Why would I need to take care of Andrew?”
A tear fell on my cheek, and I looked down at his chest.
“I can’t hold on anymore, Logan.” I said quietly. “It hurts too much. I want to
let go. I want it to be over. I can’t take the experiments, I can’t take his
touches anymore. I can’t.”
“His touches?” Logan growled loudly.
I looked up at him. His canines slipped out, and his eyes were a mixture of
his and Leon’s.
“I am coming for you, Emma.” he said, pressing me closer to him. “Don’t
give up, baby. Don’t give up, please. I need you. I fucking love you. I won’t
live without you. I refuse it. Don’t leave me, please don’t leave me.”
By the end of his speech, he had tears streaming down his face.
“I love you.” I said, pressing my lips against his again. “I love you so much.”
“Don’t say goodbye to me, Emma.” he cried out. “Don’t do it.”
I really didn’t want to. I wasn’t ready to go. I didn’t want to leave him. I
didn’t want to leave my brother.
But the witches’ experiments were pure torture. They wanted to see how far
could they take it without me dying. They wanted to see if I could project
magic without being marked. They thought that torturing me and bringing me
close to death would make me do it. The only thing it did was exhaust me. I
was tired. I wanted to close my eyes and drift off into the void. I didn’t want
to be hit, burned, or cut again. I didn’t want wolfsbane and liquid silver to be
injected into my veins. I didn’t want Samuel’s hands on me again. I wanted it
to stop.
“I love you, Logan.” I repeated again.
My body twisted in his arms as I felt the first electric shock wave ripple

through me.
The witches were back.
Logan’s eyes widened in panic.
The open field started to disappear slowly.
“I love you, Emma.” I heard Logan’s voice. “I’m coming for you, baby. I’m
coming for you. Don’t leave me.”
The second wave had me screaming.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX – The dream
Logan POV
My heart was beating like crazy.
One second I had my mate in my arms, and the next I was jumping up and
looking around my office.
I was in pain again. They were torturing her again. I could still hear her
screaming.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Fuck!
“What happened?!” Andrew shouted, making me look at him.
My canines were out, and I was growling. I didn’t even notice it.
“Logan?” Andrew called me again, placing the map down on the coffee table.
“I saw Emma.” I mumbled quietly.
“What?” Andrew asked, his eyes widening.
I looked down at my hands. I just touched her. I just felt her. I just tasted her.
It was so real.
It couldn’t have been a dream.
The pain ripped through me, but I didn’t pay attention to it. I needed to move
and find her. Right the fuck now.
“I saw Emma.” I repeated a little bit louder, staring down at my hands.

I just felt her skin on my fingertips. I just felt the warmth of her mouth on my
tongue.
“You were dreaming, Logan.” Drake said, making me look up at him.
“No.” I said. “It was too real. It wasn’t a dream. I saw her. I felt her.”
Drake’s sympathetic eyes made me pissed as fuck.
“What did she say?!” Andrew asked, standing up and walking closer to me.
“Did she tell you where she is?”
Fuck.
I didn’t ask her that. Why didn’t I ask?!
“No.” I mumbled, looking at my best friend. “Why was I asleep anyway? We
have to find her.”
“You fell asleep 10 minutes ago.” Andrew explained, sitting on the chair
opposite me. “We decided to give you half an hour to rest a little. We’ve been
working, don’t worry.”
I felt another wave of pain that made my muscles clench. My body tensed up,
and it was hard to keep the growl inside.
“They are hurting her again.” Andrew mumbled, his voice breaking.
I nodded, ignoring the pain. I stood up and started pacing around.
“She said that she was giving up.” I said, clenching my fists. “We need to go.
I don’t give a shit about researching the area anymore. We are going, and I
am killing everyone.”
“She said what?” Andrew gasped loudly.
“I can’t hold on anymore, Logan.” I heard her voice inside my head. “It
hurts too much. I want to let go. I want it to be over. I can’t take the

experiments, I can’t take his touches anymore. I can’t.”
A loud growl mixed with a sob escaped my lips. I grabbed a fistful of my hair
and pulled on it.
“I can’t hold on anymore, Logan.” I repeated her words quietly. “It hurts too
much. I want to let go. I want it to be over. I can’t take the experiments, I
can’t take his touches anymore. I can’t.”
Andrew’s growl made the windows shake.
“FUCK NO!” Andrew screamed, standing up and pacing around.
“We are going today.” I said, tightening my jaw. “I won’t wait any longer. I
am going to get my mate.”
Andrew was shaking. The fur on his hands grew, and his claws were out.
Asher wanted out, but Andrew was trying to keep him inside at all costs.
We knew what would happen if we let out wolves out.
I was saving Leon’s rage for the moment I entered that fucking cave. I was
saving it for Samuel.
I would rip the fucker apart.
He dared to take my mate away from me. He dared to hurt her. He dared to
touch her.
I didn’t know what she meant by touch, but I would kill him even if he placed
a finger on her shoulder. If he’s done more, I will chop his fucking hands off
and burn them while he watches.
Oh, I will enjoy torturing him. I will enjoy killing him.
“Are we sure that it’s the best idea to go there without the preparations just
because of a dream?” Drake asked, making my head snap toward him.
Andrew and I growled loudly.

“It wasn’t a dream!” I shouted. “It was fucking real, and I am going to get my
mate!”
Drake raised his hands in surrender.
“I am sorry, Logan.” he said. “I am just concerned about the safety.”
“My people won’t be in danger once I let Leon out.” I growled. “Leon is so
fucking ready to kill.”
“Same with Asher.” Andrew growled.
“I understand.” Drake said calmly. “I am all in, guys. I want her back too. I
will help. I just want you to take a breath and calm down a little before we do
anything stupid. They have witches, remember?”
Of course I did. I knew that we had to be careful. I knew we couldn’t go
blindly. But I didn’t want to waste any more time.
I couldn’t lose her. I couldn’t lose the love of my life. I couldn’t lose my
baby.
I needed to go to her. I needed to save her. I needed to feel her in my arms
and taste her again.
I fucking needed her, and I couldn’t wait any longer.
“I know, Drake.” I sighed. “We won’t go in blindly, but we are going in
today. We will be careful, but we are going. I can’t hold on without her much
longer. I can’t let her give up. I can’t lose her.”
Andrew whined, making my heart break. I couldn’t even imagine the pain he
was in. She was his little sister, his little pup.
“I mind-linked the warriors and everyone else willing to help.” Andrew said.
“We are bringing my pup back home. Today.”
I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw. I walked out of my office,

followed by Andrew and Drake.
I was going to get my mate back. I was going to find her and bring her home.
No one would ever hurt her again. Nobody would ever take her away from
me again.
I would kill anyone who tried to.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN – Waiting
Logan POV
I was standing in the middle of the forest, looking at the entrance to the cave
systems.
My body was buzzing with the need to kill.
‘Are you ready Leon?’ I asked my wolf.
‘Let me out.’ He growled, clawing at my insides.
‘Soon.’ I said, taking a deep breath. ‘We need to wait just a little longer.’
Leon growled, and I felt a wave of rage hit me. He was more than ready.
“Anything?” Andrew asked quietly.
I shook my head.
We didn’t know how to handle the witches. We didn’t have time to find our
own, and I didn’t want to wait. The dream where I saw Emma shook me. If it
was real and if she was really ready to give up, I would never fucking forgive
myself if I waited around to find a fucking witch who would be willing to
help us.
I wouldn’t even have time to forgive myself. I would follow my mate. I
wasn’t going to live without her.
We decided to wait until I felt Emma being tortured again. We decided to
attack once the witches were occupied with Emma.
I am sorry, baby. I mind-linked her. I am so sorry. We are here, my love.
We will get you out. I am so sorry that we have to use you like this. I am
so fucking sorry. I love you, baby. I am here, and I will get you out as

soon as I can, okay? Just hold on a little longer. Just a little bit longer,
baby.
I knew that she couldn't hear me. But I felt better talking to her. Maybe, just
maybe, she could hear me, but she couldn't respond. I needed to give her
assurance. I needed to give her strength. I needed her to hold on a little bit
longer.
I looked at Andrew. He was on the edge. He looked fucking feral. I knew that
all hell would break loose once he let Asher out.
“How is Asher doing?” I asked my Beta.
“He is ready to kill.” Andrew growled, keeping his eyes fixated on the
entrance to the cave systems.
“Same with Leon.” I mumbled. “He wants out.”
“I’m having trouble keeping Asher in.” Andrew growled quietly.
I could see his muscles clenching in an effort to stop his shifting.
“Are you trying to mind-link her?” I asked him.
He nodded, tightening his jaw.
“I keep talking to her.” he said. “I’m hoping that maybe she can hear me, but
she can’t respond.”
“Me too.” I sighed.
Emma, I love you so much. I mind-linked her again. I’m here, baby. I’m
just outside the cave. I’m coming for you. You will be back in my arms
soon.
I stopped talking, hoping to hear back from her. I knew that I wouldn’t, but
hope was a relentless bitch.
I will take care of you, baby. I opened our mind-link again. I can’t wait for

you to get better. I can’t wait to taste you again. I can’t wait to be inside
of you. I can’t wait to sink my canines into that sweet neck of yours. I
can’t wait to make you mine in every way possible.
I was going to marry that girl. As soon as I had her back in my arms, I was
going to tie her to me in every fucking way possible. I was going to make
love to her, fuck her, mark her, and marry her. She was mine, and I would
make sure that everyone knew who she belonged to.
“What if she’s not here?” Andrew mumbled, clenching his fists. “What if we
are in the wrong place?”
The anger exploded inside of me. I growled, narrowing my eyes.
“She is here.” I said, tightening my jaw. “She has to be here.”
Andrew took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.
She had to be here. My baby would be back in my arms today. I would taste
her lips today. I would feel her skin under my fingertips today. I would inhale
her amazing scent today. I would fucking see her today.
If not, I would burn the fucking world down.
I was getting her back. Today.
I looked around the forest surrounding the cave. Mine and Drake’s warriors
were hidden all over the place. If I didn’t know exactly where they were
hiding, I would have thought that Andrew and I were here alone.
But we weren’t. All of mine and Drake’s warriors were here. Even some of
my wolves who weren’t classified as warriors came along. Everyone was
ready to fight the bastards. Everyone wanted Emma back.
I didn’t even know how much my pack loved her. She entered their hearts
even before she became Luna. She volunteered at the hospital, she helped at
the training center, she volunteered at the school, she helped Amy in the
fields. Everyone knew her, and everyone loved her.

I was a complete idiot when I thought that she wouldn’t be a good Luna.
She was a Luna even before we knew that she was my mate. She didn’t even
need me to become Luna. I needed her to be an Alpha.
I was her Alpha.
I wouldn’t be an Alpha without her. I fucking had to bring her back. I fucking
needed her back.
I imagined myself slowly caressing her cheeks. I imagined myself looking
into her eyes and placing a soft kiss on her mouth. I could taste her on my
tongue. I could feel her soft lips against mine. I imagined myself touching her
soft skin as I kissed down her body. I imagined her moaning and calling my
name. I imagined myself entering her as my canines pierced her delicious
skin.
A shiver went down my body. I needed it to happen. I fucking needed her.
I clenched my fists and forced myself to focus.
I needed to kill the fucker first. I needed to show him what happens when you
take something that belongs to me.
Suddenly, a wave of pain hit me like a train.
They were torturing her again.
GO! I screamed through the mind-link with all of my warriors. NOW!
I’m here, baby. I mind-linked Emma. I’m coming for you.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT – The door
Andrew POV
I jumped up and let Asher take control.
The force of the shift strained my muscles like never before. Asher was more
than eager to come out.
Find Emma! Logan screamed through our mind link as we entered the cave.
Let me deal with Samuel. He is mine!
Be careful. I linked him back. We don’t know what the fucker is capable
of.
Just get my baby to safety, okay? Logan linked me.
I will. I said. Don’t worry. I’m getting her back.
I was going insane without her. I was worried, I was scared, and I was pissed
the fuck off. I needed my sister back. I needed my pup back. Asher was
constantly trying to get out. He wanted to turn the fucking forest down until
he found her.
‘Of course I did.’ Asher growled as we ran through the cave passages. ‘She is
my sister. I watched her grow up. I raised her. I helped her when she was
sick. I kept her warm when she was cold. I want my sister back.’
‘You will get her back.’ I told him. ‘We will get her back.’
Asher whined loudly and ran even faster than before.
The cave walls were a blur. I didn’t even pay attention to the other wolves
surrounding me. I only glanced at Leon from time to time. He still looked
like he was in pain, and that could only mean two things. Either they still
didn’t figure out that we were here, or we were in the completely wrong

place.
I was hoping that it was the first one.
If we were in the wrong place, I would go fucking insane. I couldn’t go
another day knowing that my pup was in pain. I couldn’t go another day
knowing that the fuckers were hurting my pup.
I just fucking couldn’t.
I could smell the humidity in the air. The further we ran, the worse the smell
got. It was suffocating.
Logan was giving orders to our warriors to spread around and look for an
entrance or any structure that looked handmade. It seemed like we ran for
hours, but the further inside the cave we got, the slower we were. The
passages were getting narrow, and we could barely run through them in our
wolf forms.
Do you see anything? I asked our warriors through the mind-link.
No, Beta. They answered.
Leon growled and pushed himself to move faster.
My heart was racing inside my chest. I was so fucking angry and so fucking
scared. I could see that Leon was in pain. I could see that they were still
torturing her.
Are you okay? I mind-linked Logan.
I’m fine. He growled. This fucking pain is fueling my anger like nothing
else.
I believed him. He looked pissed as fuck. I’ve never seen him like this before.
My heart hurt just thinking about my sister being in pain. What were they
doing to her? Logan said that in his dream, it looked like she was shocked.
Was it true? What else were they doing? Was he touching her again?

Oh, I was going to enjoy killing the fucker. I was going to cut each of his
fingers off one by one.
When Logan told me that he touched her, I saw fucking red. I was going to
become his worst fucking nightmare. He didn’t know what kind of beast he
had awoken. Nobody could hurt my sister and get away with it.
Alpha, Beta, I see a door! I got a mind link from one of our warriors.
Where? Logan growled as he stopped running.
To the North. The warrior said.
Logan, me, and all of our other warriors who were with us turned around and
ran as fast as we could in the opposite direction.
We were right. She was here. My little girl was here!
Why else would there be a fucking door in the middle of the cave system?
The fucker had to have some sort of underground bunker built here.
I raced after Logan. I wanted to get to the door as soon as possible. I wanted
to break it down and grab my pup. I wanted to take her away from here as
soon as possible.
Our warriors cleared the path for us as we approached the door.
Drake was already there. He shifted back into his human form because he
couldn’t mind-link with us. He wasn’t a part of our pack.
“It’s going to be hard to break through.” Drake said as soon as he saw us.
Leon growled. He rushed toward the door and slammed his whole body into
it. The door didn’t break down, but there was now a huge dent in it.
I followed his lead, growling and running at the door.
It still didn’t budge, but the dent grew bigger.

Our warriors followed our lead, growling, running, and slamming their
bodies against the door one by one.
We could hear the growls coming from the other side of the door. They were
getting louder and louder.
They knew that we were here.
I looked at Leon. He was still in pain. He continued growling and slamming
his body against the door repeatedly.
I growled loudly and followed Leon’s lead as I continued slamming my body
against the door as well.
Emma, love, we are here. I mind-linked my sister. Hold on just a little
longer, okay, little one? We are here. I am coming to get you.
The door finally broke under our relentless pressure.
The rogue wolves snarled and jumped at us. Our warriors were ready. Their
razor-sharp claws and their pointed canines sliced through the rogues like
they were made out of butter.
The doors were opened for only a few seconds, and I was already covered in
blood.
Leon and I growled, jumped, and started running down the passageway,
leaving our warriors to deal with the rogues.
Each and every rogue that tried to stop us ended up dead.
Asher and Leon were so fucking pissed off that they killed other wolves
before I could even realize what was going on.
The narrow passage we were running through suddenly became a large
concrete room.
I was right. It was an underground structure.

I looked around, searching for a door that would lead us further, when a loud
whine coming from Leon froze my insides.
My head snapped toward him. He was on the ground, whining and growling.
He looked like he was seizing.
The amount of pain he was in could only mean one thing…
She died.
No.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE – Dying
Logan POV
The pain was horrible.
It was something I’d never experienced before.
I felt like I was being ripped apart. I felt like I was dying. I wanted to die.
I wasn’t going to live without her.
I could feel our bond ripping. I could feel her soul leaving. I could feel my
mate, the love of my life, dying.
No.
No, no, no, no, please no!
Not my Emma, not my baby. Not her, please, not her.
I wanted to touch her. I wanted to feel her. I wanted to see her and hear her
wonderful voice. I fucking needed her. I needed her to live. I needed her to
breathe. I needed her to exist.
I couldn’t lose her. Not her.
I wanted to stand up and fight. I wanted to run to her and save her. I wanted
to kill the motherfucker, but I couldn’t move.
The pain had me whining and thrashing on the floor.
‘EMMA!’ Leon was screaming inside my head. ‘NO, BABY, NO!’
I could see Andrew shifting back, kneeling next to me, and grabbing a fistful
of my fur.

“IS SHE DEAD?” he screamed, tears falling down his cheeks.
I couldn’t respond. I didn’t fucking know.
It felt like she had died, but I could still feel our bond. The bond was still
there. It was ripped, but it didn’t break.
She was still alive. She had to be.
I can still feel the bond. I mind-linked Andrew. She is dying, but she is not
dead.
Andrew’s head snapped up. He looked around the room before his eyes
stopped on something.
“Get up.” he growled, standing up and shifting back.
There is a door there. He continued talking to me through the mind link.
We need to get to her.
The pain was still mind-numbingly strong, but I lifted myself off the ground
and turned toward the door. The growl that escaped my lips was bonechilling.
I’d never growled like that before.
I’d never felt the need to kill anyone as much as I felt the need to kill Samuel.
Andrew and I rushed toward the door. Asher slammed his body against it,
and it opened.
It led us to a new hallway. I could hear the growls of our warriors behind us.
I started running so fucking fast that the hallway became nothing but a blur.
I could now hear growls in front of us as well.
Kill them all. I growled through the mind-link with my warriors. I don’t
want to see that you left any one of those pathetic motherfuckers alive.
Yes, Alpha! My warriors growled back in unison.

I focused on my bond with Emma. It was still there, but I could feel it slowly
fading away.
Emma, baby, don’t leave me. I cried through the mind-link. Please, baby,
please. I am here. Hold on, baby. I’m coming to get you. Don’t leave me.
I couldn’t even think about Emma dying. She had to stay alive. She had to
stay with me. I couldn’t even think about not hearing her voice or her laugh
anymore. I couldn’t even think about not touching her soft skin anymore. I
couldn’t even think about not tasting every part of her anymore. It couldn’t
happen. It just couldn’t. I would go fucking insane.
‘She is not dying!’ Leon screamed, quickening his pace. ‘I am not losing her!
I am not losing Eliza! I will rip them to fucking pieces!’
Leon growled loudly just as we ran into another huge room. This one wasn’t
empty, though. There were rogues waiting for us. They were snarling and
ready to fight.
They looked like pathetic little shits to me right now. My anger was flaming
inside of me, and I knew that I would be able to kill them all by myself.
But then my eyes fell on the one person I wanted the most.
Samuel.
He was still in his human form, and he had a smirk on his stupid face.
I shifted back and stood up straighter.
“Give me my mate back right the fuck now!” I screamed.
I could hear snarls and growls behind me. I saw Asher standing next to me.
He was like a coiled spring, just waiting for me to say the word so that he
could start killing.
“I don’t know what you are talking about, Logan.” the fucker laughed. “The
only she-wolf in here is Emma, and she is my mate.”

Leon growled so fucking loudly that even the rogue wolves took a step back.
Samuel’s smile wavered for a second.
That’s right, fucker!
“Give her back to me right the fuck now, and I might let you die faster.” I
growled, taking a step closer to him.
“I can’t let you have her, Logan.” the fucker pouted. “How could I give up
my mate just like that? How can you just take another wolf’s mate? Do you
know how much that hurts?”
Anger exploded inside of me. Leon was pressing to come out. He was ready
to rip the motherfucker into unrecognizable pieces.
‘Let me out.’ Leon growled menacingly.
‘Wait.’ I growled back at him.
The fucker smirked.
“I gave you a chance, motherfucker.” I growled, narrowing my eyes at him.
“You should have taken it.”
Kill them all. I ordered my warriors.
In a second, all hell broke loose around me.
I shifted back and let my anger and Leon take control.
I saw Samuel shifting into his wolf. It was so much smaller than mine.
Killing him would be easy as fuck.
I glanced around the room quickly. The witches were nowhere in sight. I
could still feel Emma’s pain. I could still feel our bond disappearing slowly.
The witches had to know that we were here. That meant that they couldn’t
stop doing whatever they were doing to my baby. It had to be some sort of

ritual or some other disturbing shit.
Go find Emma! I mind-linked Andrew. We can’t waste any more time.
Take Drake and Jacob with you. They are killing her!
Asher let out a growl mixed with a whine.
I could see him motioning for Drake to follow him. I could see them running
toward the door leading out of the now blood-soaked room we were in.
We are coming to get you, baby. I mind-linked Emma. Your brother is
coming for you. Hold on, love, hold on.
Our bond broke a little bit more, making the pain increase.
I whined, took a deep breath, and turned around to find Samuel.
I would turn the pain into anger, and I would kill him.

CHAPTER EIGHTY – Chained
Andrew POV
I was running through the corridor like a fucking maniac.
They are killing her!
They are killing her!
They are killing her!
They are killing her!
Logan’s words kept repeating in my mind.
Not her, not my pup!
Hold on, love. I mind-linked her. I am here. I am close. Please don’t let go.
Please don’t leave me. I can’t lose you, love. You are the most important
person in my world. Don’t leave me.
I could hear Jacob and Drake running next to me. Our warriors were behind
us. I could barely hear the battle going on inside the room.
I could hear a few rogues following us, but our warriors dealt with them
before they got too close to us.
The passageways were a complete blur. I wasn’t even looking where I was
going. The only thing I was focused on was trying to hear or smell
something.
I didn’t even want to think about losing my sister. If she died, I would go
fucking insane. My life wouldn’t have any sense anymore. I didn’t have a
mate, I didn’t have children. I had her. I loved her more than anything else in
this world. I couldn’t lose her. I couldn’t.

I remembered her laugh. I remembered her voice calling my name. I
remembered each and every time she ran into my arms when she was little. I
remembered how her little arms would wrap around my neck. I remembered
how she would snuggle into Asher’s fur when she was cold. I remembered
how she would always come to me when she was sick. I remembered how
she would seek comfort in me. I remembered each and every time I made her
laugh. I remembered how we spent time together and how much we loved
being with each other. I remembered everything, and I couldn’t lose that.
I couldn’t lose her.
Asher whined loudly.
‘My Emma.’ he cried out. ‘My baby sister.’
‘I know.’ I said. ‘We are going to find her, Asher. We are getting our pup
back.’
I glanced at Jacob. He had a look of determination on his face. He looked like
he was ready to kill. I was glad. I needed someone who was ready to rip the
witches apart.
Suddenly, a hint of her scent hit me.
‘Emma!’ Asher whined loudly as he started to run even faster.
I see a door! Jacob mind-linked me.
I saw it too. I could see the light flickering inside the room, and I knew that
Emma was there. They were doing some fucked up shit on her. They were
experimenting on my sister!
I let out a loud growl and slammed my body against the door.
I wasn’t ready for what I saw inside.
My little pup was hanging from the ceiling. Her hands were above her head,
and there were chains around her wrists. Her head was hanging low. Her

clothes were barely there. The hoodie she was wearing was ripped, and I
could see most of her upper body. Her jeans were filled with holes. Her body
was covered in bruises, cuts, and burns. Her hair was soaked in blood.
Her eyes were closed. She didn’t even notice that we came in.
Was she really gone?
No, no, no, no. Please, no!
Not my beautiful little sister!
I growled and focused on the four witches in the room.
They shifted their focus on us, but I could tell that they weren’t fully present.
Their eyes were milky white, and their magic was focused on Emma.
Kill them! I growled through the mind link with my warriors.
We jumped at them, but they had created a shield around themselves and
Emma.
I growled, slamming my body into it. It didn’t break, but I did feel it bend a
little. It wasn’t as strong as I suspected it to be.
I guessed that they couldn’t break whatever the fuck they were doing to
Emma. They couldn’t end it and focus on us completely.
We need to bring the shield down! I screamed through the mind link. We
need to kill them before they complete the spell!
My warriors and I started slamming our bodies against the invisible shield.
Each time we did, a small buzz of electricity shocked our bodies. I was so
fucking angry that I didn’t even feel it. I didn’t give a fuck if it was a full
blown electric shock. I was getting to my sister. I was getting to Emma.
I didn’t move my eyes away from her the entire time. I tried to figure out if
she was breathing or not. I could have sworn that I saw her chest rising and
falling, and that was enough for me not to crumple under the immense pain I

was in.
I glanced at the witches. They were weak. They were focused on Emma and
the ritual they were preforming. It looked like they couldn’t stop the spell.
They tried to focus on us, but it was too hard for them.
This was our chance. We needed to bring the shield down!
Emma’s body jerked as the bitches hit her with another electric shock. Her
eyes remained closed.
I growled loudly, slamming my body against the shield even harder than
before.
Andrew! I heard Logan’s voice in my mind. Did you find her?
I did. I mind-linked him back immediately. There is a shield around her
and the witches. We are trying to break through.
Is she alive? Logan asked, his voice trembling. I can still feel the bond, but
it’s slipping away…
His voice broke, and he stopped talking through our link.
I looked at Emma. I looked at her chest. There was a small movement.
Andrew?! Logan screamed.
She is breathing. I mind-linked him. Get here as soon as possible.
I’m coming. He growled. We are almost done here. I almost killed the
fucker, but I changed my mind. We are going to play with him a little
before I let him die.
I growled and slammed my body into the shield again.
It started to crack.
Harder! I screamed through the mind link with my warriors.

They did as I told them, and we heard the electricity zipping through the air
as the shield disappeared.
The witches looked at us, trying to focus.
One of them lifted their hand and pointed it at us. I felt a spell hit me, but it
was too weak to do any damage.
Kill. I ordered through the mind link.
I heard a very familiar growl behind me.
Leon was here.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE – Save her
Logan POV
The anger I felt was indescribable.
My baby was chained. She was hanging from the ceiling. Her arms were
above her head. She was unconscious. Her head was hanging on her chest.
Her clothes were practically gone. I could see her skin. It was black and blue
and covered in cuts and burns.
Oh, I was going to enjoy killing these fucking witches.
I let out a loud growl, and the witches looked at me.
They couldn’t break out of the spell. They tried to focus on us, but they
couldn’t. They tried to hit Andrew with the spell, but it wasn’t strong enough
to do any damage.
Both Andrew and I jumped up at the same time.
I felt my canines piece through one of the witches’ necks. I could taste her
disgusting blood on my tongue and in my mouth.
They tried to fight back. They tried to hit us with spells, but their milky eyes
were unfocused. They couldn’t do shit. They were too distracted by their
spell, and we were too fucking strong for them to fight us off without their
magic.
I knew the exact moment when they stopped torturing my mate because the
milkiness in the eyes of the last witch disappeared.
She screamed and lifted their hands. She wanted to hit me with a spell, but
Asher was faster. He jumped, grabbed her by the back of her neck, and took
the head right off her shoulder.

I watched the life inside of her disappear.
I growled, shifted back, and turned toward Emma.
My baby!
“Fucking shit!” Drake screamed, staring at Emma. “Is she alive?”
Drake tried to touch her, but my loud growl stopped him.
No one will touch her! She was mine! MINE!
I ran toward her, wrapping my arms around her waist. Tingles and sparks
spread through my body.
“Emma, baby, I am here.” I said, my voice trembling. “I am here. You are
going to be okay, baby.”
I lifted her gently, so that the pressure of hanging from the fucking ceiling
would be gone.
“Somebody get these fucking chains off!” I screamed.
Andrew was next to me, cupping her cheeks and lifting her head.
My stomach twisted painfully. Her face was as bad as her body. What did
they do to her?
“Emma, love, can you hear me?” Andrew asked, his voice trembling.
She was alive. I was sure of it. I could still feel our bond. I could feel that she
was still with me. I could feel that she didn’t leave me.
I watched as Jacob removed the chains from her wrists. He had a pissed off
look on his face, but his cheeks were strained with tears.
As soon as he removed the chains, Emma’s body fell into my arms. I
wrapped her legs around my waist and leaned her head on my shoulder.
“I am here, baby.” I mumbled, trying to stop myself from crying. “I am here.

You will be okay, baby.”
“We need to hurry up, Logan.” Andrew said, his voice shaking. “We need to
get her to Wren.”
I started running out of the fucking room, followed by Andrew, Drake, and
the rest of my warriors.
All of us were covered in blood.
I kept kissing every part of Emma I could reach. I kept pressing my nose into
her hair and her neck, trying to get as much of her scent as possible. I missed
it so fucking much. I pressed my lips on her neck, trying to get a little taste of
her. It was impossible. All I could taste was blood, sweat, and dirt. I almost
whined. I wanted her taste in my mouth. I wanted it on my tongue.
I wasn’t focused on anything else except her. I wasn’t focused on anyone else
except her. I knew that Andrew was next to me. I knew that Drake and Jacob
were behind me. I knew that they were staring at her. I wanted to rip their
eyes out, but to do that I would have had to let go of my mate, and that
wasn’t happening. Not now, not ever.
I reached the room where we defeated the fucker. Most of the rogues were
dead. Some of them surrendered, and my warriors were placing the silver
chains on their wrists. I would decide what to do with them later. My priority
was Emma. I needed to make sure that she was okay. I needed to make sure
that she would stay with me.
She needed to stay with me.
“Where is Samuel?” Andrew growled.
“He is outside.” I said, lifting my head. “We are bringing him to the cellars. I
will enjoy myself with him a little before I kill him.”
“I’m getting my turn with him.” Andrew growled, bending down to look at
Emma.

He caressed her cheek and took a deep breath.
“You are going to be okay, my little girl.” he mumbled. “You are going to be
okay. I promise.”
I started running, trying to get out of here as fast as possible. I needed to get
her to Wren.
I finally managed to get out of the fucking cave.
“Is she dead?” I heard the voice I hated most in the world.
I turned my head to my right and growled.
Samuel was kneeling on the ground a few feet away from me. He had silver
chains on his wrists. He was beaten and bloody from all the shit I did to him.
But I was far from done. He would suffer.
“You disgusting piece of shit!” Andrew screamed, covering the distance
between him and Samuel in two long strides.
Andrew punched the fucker, and he fell to the ground.
“Not now, Andrew.” I growled. “We need to go. There will be time for that
and so much more later.”
I started walking away as fast as I could.
Andrew growled again as he followed behind me.
“I love you, baby.” I said, burying my nose back into Emma’s neck. “You are
safe now. You are going to be okay.”
I started running, tightening my arms around her.
I needed to get her to Wren.
I needed her to wake up. I needed to hear her voice. I needed to taste her.

I missed her so fucking much. No one would take her away from me again.
No one.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO – My little sister
Andrew POV
“Oh, Goddess!” Wren exclaimed as soon as Logan and I ran inside the
hospital.
“Help her!” Logan growled. “You need to help her, Wren! She needs to be
okay!”
Logan put her down on the bed, kissing her cheek and taking her hand in his.
“Please, baby, don’t leave me.” he mumbled, his voice breaking. “I can’t lose
you.”
My heart was hammering inside my chest. I couldn’t breathe. I kept my eyes
on her beautiful face, wishing that she would just open her eyes.
“I need you to step aside, Alpha.” Wren said softly. “We need room to
work.”
Logan gritted his teeth but listened to Wren. He let her hand go and came to
stand next to me.
We watched as Wren and the nurses started working around Emma. They
attached some machines to her. They pierced her skin with needles. They
touched and poked every part of her skin.
I wanted to growl. I didn’t like that they were touching her. I wanted to pick
her up in my arms and hold her.
But I couldn’t. I needed to let them work. I needed to let them help her.
I glanced at Logan. He was shaking. Whimpers and growls kept escaping his
lips. His eyes were wide and filled with tears. He stared at Emma without
blinking.

Suddenly, all hell broke loose.
The machines attached to Emma started beeping loudly.
Logan grabbed his chest and fell down on his knees.
“What is going on?!” I screamed, kneeling next to Logan.
“She is in V-Fib!” doctor Wren screamed. “I need a crash cart! Now!”
Crash cart? As in defibrillator? As in, her heart wasn’t beating the way it was
supposed to? As in, it could stop? As in, she could die?
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
NO!
“EMMA!” I screamed, grabbing a fistful of my hair. “No, love, please!”
Logan was trying to take deep breaths. His eyes were fixed on her. Tears
were streaming down his cheeks. He couldn’t speak. He couldn’t even
fucking breathe.
I watched as the nurses cut what was left of Emma’s hoodie off of her. I
watched as they placed some patches on her chest. I watched as doctor Wren
placed the defibrillator pads on her. I watched as her back arched up. I
watched as her body fell back down on the bed.
My eyes flew to the machine monitoring her heart. It still didn’t stop beeping.
No. Please, no.
Not her. Not my beautiful little sister. Not my pup.
Please, Goddess, please. Don’t take her.
“Clear!” Wren screamed again.

He placed the pads back on Emma’s chest. Her back arched again. Her small
body fell back down onto the bed again.
“Come on, Emma.” Wren growled. “Don’t leave us.”
“Emma, baby, please.” Logan cried out, fighting to breathe. “Don’t leave.
Don’t go. Please.”
I didn’t even realize how hard I was holding onto him. I didn’t even realize
how hard he was holding onto me. We were watching the person we loved
most in this world fight for her life. We needed each other more than we even
realized.
“Clear!” Wren screamed, repeating the process.
My heart was going to jump out of my body.
I couldn’t lose her. I couldn’t lose my sister. What the fuck would I do
without her? What the fuck would I do?
I would burn the fucking world down. I would follow her. I wouldn’t want to
live in a world where she didn’t exist. I was so fucking sure of that.
“Please, love.” I mumbled, watching her body hit the bed again. “Don’t leave
me.”
I looked at the machine again. It stopped beeping like crazy. The beeps were
now quieter and steadier.
“We have a rhythm!” Wren shouted, making me sob.
“Fuck!” Logan growled, tightening his arms around me.
“You did good, Emma.” Wren said softly. “You did good, little warrior. Let
us do the rest.”
He went back to poking her skin with different needles. The nurses started
running around him, handing him everything he needed.

“Alpha, Beta.” Wren called us, keeping his eyes on the wound he was
cleaning. “I need you to go shower and change. I will clean Emma’s cuts and
move her to a different room. We can’t risk infection.”
Logan and I both growled. We didn’t want to leave her.
Wren looked up at us and sighed.
“I know that you don’t want to leave.” he said softly. “But you need to
shower. You are covered in blood and dirt, and it could worsen her condition.
You need to do it for her. She will be okay.”
Logan whined and gulped.
I reluctantly started pulling him away.
I didn’t want to leave her. I wanted to stay so fucking badly. But Wren was
right. We could put her in danger. I couldn’t let that happen.
I didn’t even look where I was going. I just followed the nurse blindly,
pulling Logan behind me.
Through the fog in my brain, I recognized the bathrooms we had already
been in the first time my little girl was in the hospital. I could feel the nurse
placing a pile of folded clothes in my arms. I could hear a voice telling me
something, but I couldn’t understand what.
I focused on Logan. I was still holding his hand tightly in mine.
I forced myself to focus and do what I had to do. I wanted to go back to my
sister as soon as possible.
“Go shower, Logan.” I told him as I let his hand go.
He looked at me, and my heart broke. He was in so much pain.
“Go shower.” I told him again, my voice breaking. “The sooner we are done
here, the sooner we can go back to her.”

He nodded weakly and walked into one of the bathrooms.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to stay focused. It was hard. The pain
and fear kept clouding my brain.
I wasn’t even aware that I had stepped under the shower. I looked down at
my feet and saw water mixed with blood and dirt dripping down my body.
I forced my arms to move, and I scrubbed my body as best as I could.
I didn’t even know how I ended up in front of the bathroom wearing the
scrubs the nurse gave me.
I could have sworn that I was just in the shower.
I heard the door to my right open, and Logan stepped out.
He looked broken.
His eyes found mine, and a second later he was hugging me tightly.
“I can’t lose her.” he mumbled, his voice breaking.
“You won’t.” I said, hugging him back. “We won’t lose her. She will be
okay. She has to be okay. She is my little fighter. She will be okay.”
I didn’t know who I was reassuring, myself or Logan.
My heart was breaking, and I needed to go back to her.
I needed to see that she was okay. I needed to hug my baby sister and tell her
how much I loved her.
I needed her so fucking much.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE – The love of my life
Logan POV
I followed the nurse back to Emma’s room.
I was in a complete daze.
I just wanted to go back to my mate. I wanted to hold her. I needed to know
that she was awake.
She almost died.
The love of my life almost died.
While we were in that fucking underground bunker, I couldn’t even focus on
the pain. I was focused on finding her and saving her. I was focused on
killing the fucker who took her from me.
But now that I wasn’t in battle mode anymore, the pain paralyzed me.
I almost lost her. She almost died. I felt her die.
I walked into the room behind the nurse and saw my baby lying on the bed.
Machines were hooked up to her, and she had a breathing tube stuck down
her throat.
“My baby.” I cried out, rushing to her.
As soon as my fingers touched her skin, I felt tingles running up and down
my body. I missed this feeling so fucking much.
I leaned my forehead on hers, closing my eyes and breathing in her scent.
It was mixed with antiseptic and medicine, but I could still smell a little bit of
strawberry and watermelon. It was enough to soothe me down a little.

“Why is there a breathing tube down her throat, Wren?” Andrew asked, his
voice breaking.
“Her lungs are damaged.” Wren said and I could hear the anger in his voice.
“I’m guessing that they made her inhale something that damaged them. She
will need the tube for a while.”
Andrew sobbed as walked closer to the bed and sat on the chair next to it. He
leaned his forehead on her cheek and took her hand in his.
“Hi, love.” he said softly. “You are home. You are safe. You will be okay.”
I caressed her other cheek softly, wishing I could place my lips on hers.
“When will she wake up, Wren?” I asked, not recognizing my own voice.
“I don’t know.” he sighed. “Her body is exhausted. The injuries are
extensive. I don’t know how she survived. We won’t know for sure until she
wakes up and tells us, but I can tell that she was electrocuted, burned, cut, hit,
and drugged. I know for sure that they injected liquid silver into her veins. I
know for sure that they made her drink it.”
Andrew sobbed, burying his face in her neck.
I saw fucking red.
Leon growled loudly, trying to get out.
I pushed him back. I wanted to be with my mate. I wanted to touch her, feel
her, taste her, and bury my nose in her hair and neck.
‘I want to rip them apart!’ Leon screamed. ‘I want to kill them, Logan!’
‘We will.’ I told him. ‘We will. But our mate needs us right now. Look at her,
Leon. Be with her. We will kill them later.’
Leon whined, focusing his attention on Emma.
‘Our baby.’ Leon whined loudly.

‘Can you feel Eliza?’ I asked him.
‘No.’ He whined again. ‘I keep trying to reach her, but I can’t.’
‘It’s okay, Leon.’ I said. ‘You will reach her soon. She is resting.’
Leon whined and focused back on Emma.
“How come you didn’t feel all that, Logan?” Andrew asked as he raised his
head and kissed Emma’s cheek.
How didn’t I? I felt her pain. I felt her being tortured, but not that much. I
didn’t feel that much pain.
“I don’t know.” I sighed, running my nose up and down her jaw. “If I felt it
all, I would have gone crazy.”
I looked up and saw that Wren had left.
“Where is Wren?” I asked Andrew.
“I told him to go talk to the people outside wanting to know about Emma.”
Andrew said, running his fingers through her hair. “Your mom, Amy, Drake,
and Jacob are here. Other pack members are probably here as well. They’ve
been trying to mind-link me, but I’ve been blocking them.”
I nodded. I blocked everyone as well. I just wanted to stay focused on Emma.
“Hi, baby.” I said softly as I leaned in and placed a kiss on the corner of her
mouth.
That was the best I could do because of the breathing tube.
“I love you, baby.” I said, burying my nose in her neck. “I love you so much.
You are home. You are safe. Please wake up soon. I miss you.”
I kept trying to inhale as much of her scent as I possibly could. It was the
only thing that kept me calm right now.

I placed my hand on her chest, rubbing small circles with my palm. I wished
that I could heal her heart and her lungs with the touch of my hand.
“Will she be okay, Logan?” Andrew asked, his voice breaking.
I looked up at him. He was staring at her as tears kept falling down his
cheeks.
“Yes.” I said. “She will wake up soon. We will go back home. I will mark her
and marry her. I will tie her to myself in every way humanly possible. She
will be okay. She has to be okay.”
Andrew looked at me and wiped his cheeks. He gave me a small smile.
“Maybe you should ask her brother for her hand in marriage.” he said
teasingly.
“Are we in the middle ages?” I asked, chuckling a little. “Also, I would never
let you say no. She is mine.”
Andrew gave me another small smile and looked back at Emma.
“She is yours.” he said quietly. “I am glad that you are her mate. I know it’s
been a hell of a road, but I am glad that she has you in her life. I can see how
much you love her. I can see how badly you want to protect her. That is all I
could ask for my little girl. She is the most precious thing in my life, and I
wouldn’t be okay if her mate didn’t understand that. I wouldn’t be okay if her
mate didn’t love her as much as I do.”
He lifted her hand and placed a small kiss on her palm.
“I know, Andrew.” I said softly. “I love her with all my heart. She is the most
precious thing to me as well. I couldn’t be happier that she has you in her life.
You are the only one I trust with her. You are the best brother and the best
dad. You raised her to be this amazing person I fell in love with. I will always
be grateful to you. You will always be my best friend. You will always be
one of the most important people to us both.”
Andrew looked up at me, and a tear fell on his cheek.

“Thank you.” he mumbled. “I was always afraid that her mate would take her
away from me. I was always afraid that her mate wouldn’t understand how
important she is to me. I’m so fucking happy that you understand.”
“I would never do that to you, Andrew.” I said softly. “I would never take her
away from you. She is your sister. She is your pup. You are a part of her that
I can’t and won’t take away.”
He smiled and reached out to me. I took his hand in mine and squeezed it
tightly.
I loved him a lot. We grew up together. He was my brother, my best friend.
Both of us looked down at the most important person in our lives.
I leaned in and buried my nose in her neck again.
I wished that she would wake up soon.
I missed her. I needed her.
I needed her so fucking much.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR – I miss you
Logan POV
“Emma, baby, please come back to me.” I mumbled, burying my nose in her
neck.
It had been five days since we had found her. Five days of waiting. Five days
of praying to the Goddess to bring her back to me.
I missed her so fucking much. I had her body back. I could touch her, I could
feel her. But I missed her. I missed my Emma. I missed her beautiful eyes. I
missed her voice. I missed her laugh.
Her lungs got better, and she was now breathing on her own. Her heart was
stronger. She was physically getting better, but she just wasn’t waking up.
“Emma, baby, I love you.” I said, placing a kiss on her neck. “Come back to
me, please.”
I looked up at her beautiful face, but her eyes were still closed.
How is she, Logan? Andrew mind-linked me.
The same. I answered immediately. She is still asleep.
Andrew was in the cellars, taking his anger out on Samuel and other
prisoners. He was stuck mid-shift, and he just couldn’t push Asher back. He
was in the cellars a lot.
I couldn’t go. I couldn’t leave her. Andrew and Wren barely managed to
convince me to take a shower and change. I couldn’t leave my baby. I
couldn't leave the love of my life. I wanted to be here when she woke up. I
wanted to be the first one she would see when she opened those beautiful
eyes.

I ran my nose up and down her jaw, breathing in her scent. It calmed me
down. It calmed Leon down. It meant that she was back with us. It meant that
we had our mate in our arms.
‘Can you feel Eliza, Leon?’ I asked my wolf.
‘No.’ Leon whined. ‘When will she wake up, Logan? I miss her.’
‘Soon.’ I sighed.
Wren had a theory that Emma’s mind needed a break. He believed that she
needed to heal not only physically but also mentally. He even thought that
Eliza was keeping her from waking up because she needed to protect her.
It made sense. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what my baby went through.
I still couldn’t understand why I didn’t feel everything they did to her. I felt
only small parts of it, but not everything. She went through so much, and I
understood that she needed to heal, but I missed her. I fucking missed her.
Wren told Andrew and me to just keep talking to her. He told us to assure her
that she was home and that she was safe. He couldn’t be sure if she could
hear us, but if she could, it would help her to know that she was safe.
“Emma, baby, you are home.” I said. “You are back home with me, my love.
You are back home with your brother.”
I always told her the same things. I wanted her to know that she was safe. I
wanted her to know that she had a future with me. I wanted her to know that I
was here and that I wasn’t leaving her side. I wanted her to know that she
wasn’t alone anymore. I wanted her to know that her mate was right here next
to her.
I needed her to know how fucking much I loved her.
Because I did. I loved her more than anything. Looking back, I didn’t have a
fucking clue how I managed to reject her. How the fuck did I even manage to
say those words?! I loved her even then, but I was blinded by duty and
power. I was a fucking idiot. It was a miracle she forgave me, and I wasn’t

going to throw that miracle away. I was going to keep her. She was mine.
Fucking mine.
“When you wake up, I will kiss the hell out of you, my love.” I continued as I
ran my fingers through her hair. “I will take you home, and we will spend
some time together. We can watch movies. We can eat whatever you want.
We can do whatever you want. We will sleep in the same bed, my love. I will
hold you close because that is all I have wanted to do ever since I first found
out that you were mine. We will wake up together and have coffee together.”
I leaned in and placed a kiss on her cheek.
“I will mark you, baby.” I said quietly. “I will make love to you, and I will
sink my canines into your beautiful neck where they belong.”
I traced her marking spot with my fingers. I pictured what her mark was
going to look like, and a wave of possessiveness washed over me.
“I will marry you, Emma.” I continued as I ran my nose up and down her
jaw. “I will tie myself to you in every way possible. We will have beautiful
children. They will be pretty like you and stubborn like their father. We will
raise them together. We will watch them grow up together. We will love each
other forever, my baby.”
I placed kisses up and down her jaw, savoring the taste of her skin on my
lips.
I needed more. I wanted more. I wanted to taste her lips. I wanted to taste her
skin. I wanted to sink myself into her and never fucking leave. She was
paradise. She was my paradise.
I buried my nose back in her neck, taking a deep breath and letting her scent
fill my lungs.
“I love you, Emma.” I said softly as I placed a kiss on her marking spot. “I
can’t wait for you to wake up. I can’t wait to kiss you. I can’t wait to taste
you again. I can’t wait to show you how fucking much I love you.”

I shut my eyes tightly, trying to stop the tears from escaping.
I couldn’t believe that I almost lost her. I almost lost the love of my life.
“I love you too.” I heard a quiet voice say, and my heart stopped beating.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE – Home
Emma POV
I heard the voice I adored.
I heard him tell me that he loved me. I felt his lips on my neck. I felt his nose
running up and down my jaw.
If this was death, I would welcome it with open arms.
I opened my eyes slowly, and a bright light made me shut them down again. I
prepared myself for the light and opened my eyes again.
I was in a room. I was lying in bed. I glanced to my left and saw his hair. His
head was buried in my neck, and he was telling me how much he loved me
again.
Goddess, I missed him so much.
“I love you too.” I said quietly.
I felt him freeze, but a second later his head snapped up, and he gasped
loudly.
“Baby.” he cried out, staring at me wide-eyed.
“Hi.” I said, trying to give him a small smile.
“Oh, Goddess, Emma.” Logan said as he grabbed my face and pressed his
lips on mine.
His taste invaded my mouth. His smell invaded my senses. I was in paradise,
and I didn’t want to leave.
He stopped kissing me, and I whined quietly. I didn’t want him to stop. I

wanted him to kiss me forever.
“Hi, baby.” Logan said, pressing his forehead against mine. “I missed you,
baby. I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.” I said quietly as I ran my fingers through his hair.
My voice was raspy and my throat hurt.
“Can I get some water, please?” I asked him quietly.
“Fuck.” he mumbled as he raised his head abruptly. “Yes, baby, of course.
I’m sorry. I didn’t think of it sooner. I needed you.”
“It’s okay.” I said, smiling at him softly.
He turned around and grabbed a bottle of water and a glass. He filled the
glass, put a straw in it, and turned back toward me. He reached under the bed
and I felt my upper body rising slowly. Logan put the glass in front of me,
and I lifted my hand to put the straw in my mouth.
“Take small sips, okay baby?” Logan said quietly, leaning in and kissing my
temple.
I listened to him, but the water tasted so good against my dry throat. It was
hard to drink it slowly. I ended up drinking the whole glass.
“More?” Logan asked with a small smile.
I nodded, and Logan turned back around to pour me another glass of water.
The door to my room opened, and doctor Wren walked inside.
“Emma!” he exclaimed happily. “It is so good to see you awake!”
“Hi, doctor.” I said smiling and taking another sip of my water.
Doctor Wren walked closer to my bed and checked on the machines around
me.

“How are you feeling, Emma?” he asked me.
I didn’t really know the answer to that question. My body hurt. My chest felt
like someone had punched me really hard. I was confused and a little bit
disoriented. Was I really back home? Was I dreaming again? How long had I
been gone?
“Baby?” Logan called me worriedly when I didn’t answer.
“I’m a little bit confused.” I mumbled quietly.
“I will explain everything, baby.” Logan said immediately, taking my hand in
his.
“Well, physically, you seem to be okay now.” Wren smiled. “I will let Logan
and your brother explain the rest. I will come back later to fill you in on your
injuries.”
I nodded and looked around the room. Where was my brother? Why wasn’t
he here? Did something happen to him?
My heart raced, and I could hear the machine on my right beep loudly.
“Emma, baby, are you okay?” Logan asked, panicking.
“Where is Andrew?” I asked, my voice shaking.
Before Logan or doctor Wren could answer, the door burst open, and my
brother ran inside.
Relief washed over me, and I sobbed. I reached out for him, and he
immediately pulled me into his arms.
“Oh, my little girl.” Andrew mumbled as he kissed the top of my head. “You
are okay, love. You are safe. You are home.”
I tightened my arms around my brother the best I could. I leaned my head on
his shoulder and closed my eyes. Sadness washed over me, and I sobbed.

I missed him. I missed him so much. Just the thought that something
happened to him…
No.
I couldn’t even think about that.
“I will give you some privacy.” I heard doctor Wren’s voice. “I will be back
later.”
“Thank you, Wren.” Logan said as he placed a hand on my back and rubbed
it softly.
I heard doctor Wren walking away. I heard the door behind him close.
“How are you, love?” my brother asked me as he ran his fingers through my
hair. “Are you in pain?”
“A little.” I mumbled, holding on to him.
I didn’t want him to let me go. I really thought that I would never see him
again.
“Let me hold her, Andrew.” Logan said. “The pain will go away.”
“Just a little bit longer.” I said, pressing myself closer to my brother.
“Please.”
“Oh, love.” Andrew mumbled. “It’s okay. I’m here. Your brother is here.”
Logan continued to rub my back. It helped a lot with the pain. Even my
brother’s touch helped. I was back with him. I was back home. It was enough
to get rid of the pain.
“I love you, Emma.” Andrew said. “I love you so much.”
“I love you too.” I said. “I missed you.”
“Oh, I missed you too, love.” Andrew said softly. “I missed you so much.”

I opened my eyes and saw my mate smiling softly at us. I reached out and
took his hand in mine.
He kissed my palm, and tingles ran up and down my body.
I was home. I was really home. I was back in my brother’s arms. I was back
with my mate. Nothing and no one would take me away again. I wouldn’t let
them. I couldn’t let them. I wouldn’t survive it again.
Looking back at all the things that the witches did to me, I didn’t know how I
survived it. How was I alive?
What if I wasn’t? What if I died? What if this was only a short dream?
Pain washed over me, and I wanted to scream.
Please no. I didn’t want it to be a dream. I didn’t want to lose my brother and
my mate again.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX – Protect
Andrew POV
When Logan mind-linked me and told me that Emma was awake, I thought
that my heart would explode from happiness.
She was awake!
My little girl was finally awake.
“What hurts, love?” I asked her as I placed another kiss on the top of her
head.
She let me go and looked up at me.
“Am I dreaming again?” she asked quietly, her voice laced with fear. “Am I
dead?”
I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced at Logan. He clenched his fists and
tightened his jaw.
“You are not dead, love.” I said, looking back at her. “You are not dreaming.
This is real. You are home.”
She took a deep breath and looked at Logan.
“You are home, baby.” he said, leaning in and placing a kiss on her lips.
“You are home.”
She breathed out in relief and gave us a small smile.
“I’m sorry.” she mumbled. “I wasn’t sure anymore. I wasn’t...”
“You don’t have to apologize, love.” I said as I caressed her cheek. “It’s okay
to be confused. You’ve been asleep for a while.”

“How long?” she asked quietly.
“Five days, baby.” Logan answered.
She took a deep breath and shook her head.
“And how long had I been with him?” she asked quietly.
“Four days.” Logan answered, his voice cold.
Emma closed her eyes, and I pulled her back to my chest. I kissed the top of
her head, breathing in her scent.
“Can you tell me what hurts, love?” I asked her again.
“Well, my whole body.” she mumbled. “But my chest hurts the most.”
I froze. Logan growled.
Emma lifted her head and looked at both of us.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
“Your heart wasn’t okay when we brought you back, love.” I said softly.
“They had to use the defibrillator to stabilize it.”
Her eyes widened. “I went into V-Fib?”
“Yes.” Logan said as he pulled her to him. “It was the scariest moment of my
life.”
He kissed her temple and buried his nose in her hair, taking a deep breath.
“Is my heart okay now?” Emma asked, looking at me.
“It is, love.” I said, giving her a small smile. “Your chest hurts because of the
defibrillator. Wren said that it’s normal.”
Emma nodded, turning her head toward Logan and placing a kiss on his
chest.

“What did he do to you, baby?” Logan asked her, his voice raspy and quiet.
Emma visibly tensed up. Logan let her go and looked at her worriedly.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to, love.” I said
immediately as I took her hand in mine.
She looked at me and gulped.
“Did you feel it?” Emma asked quietly as she looked from me to Logan.
“I did, baby.” Logan nodded. “I didn’t feel everything, but I did feel some of
it. I don’t know how that’s possible, though.”
“Oh, thank Goddess.” Emma mumbled as she closed her eyes and took a
deep breath.
Logan gave me a confused look.
“What do you mean by that, love?” I asked her softly.
Emma opened her eyes and looked at Logan.
“I was blocking you from feeling it.” she said quietly. “I didn’t want you to
go through that. I wasn’t sure that it was working, though. I’m so glad that it
did. I’m so sorry about the things that you did feel. I guess I was just too tired
to block it all.”
Logan stared at her for a second before a mixture of a sob and a growl
escaped his mouth. He pulled her to him, lifted her up, and placed her on his
lap. He wrapped his arms around her and buried his nose in her neck.
“You blocked it?” Logan asked, his voice raspy.
“I wanted to protect you, Logan.” Emma nodded, looking at me. “I wanted to
protect both of you.”
I took her hand in mine, trying to stop the tears from falling on my cheeks.

She was so brave. So fucking brave.
“Did he...” Logan started speaking before stopping to take a deep breath.
“Did he touch you, baby?”
Emma tensed up, and I saw fucking red.
If he did something to her… If he…
I was going to fucking kill him.
“Emma?” Logan growled, tightening his arms around her. “What the fuck did
he do?”
Emma took a deep breath and leaned more into Logan.
My heart was beating a mile a minute. I could feel it in my throat. I tightened
my grip on her hand.
“He didn’t rape me.” Emma mumbled quietly. “He touched me and kissed
me, but nothing more.”
Logan growled, and his eyes changed color.
“I’m going to fucking kill him.” Logan said, gritting his teeth.
I was just relieved that the fucker didn’t…
Fuck. I couldn’t even think about that.
Emma wrapped her arms around Logan’s neck and hugged him tightly. He
relaxed immediately.
“Oh, my baby.” he mumbled as he kissed the top of her head. “I love you so
fucking much.”
“I love you too.” Emma mumbled quietly.
Emma let go of Logan and turned around to look at me. She reached out for
me, and I pulled her into my lap.

“My little girl.” I mumbled as I kissed her temple.
“I’m sorry for leaving like I did.” Emma said as she wrapped her arms around
me. “I couldn’t let him hurt you. I couldn’t...”
She stopped talking and buried her head in my neck.
The memory of that fucker taking her away made me want to scream.
“It’s okay, love.” I said, trying to stop myself from growling. “It’s okay.”
I looked at Logan. His fists were clenched tight. His jaw was tightened. There
was so much pain in his eyes that my heart broke for him.
But she was back. My little sister was back. She would be okay. She had to
be okay. We would never let anything happen to her again. We would protect
her. We would make sure that she would always be right here next to us.
I kissed her temple, leaned my head on hers, and closed my eyes.
My little girl was back, and that was all that mattered.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN – Finally
Logan POV
“I can walk.” Emma said with a hint of amusement in her voice.
I looked at her and rolled my eyes. As if I would let her walk on her own and
miss the chance of touching her and feeling her close to my body.
Emma chuckled and shook her head.
I opened her bedroom door and walked inside. I placed her on the bed gently.
“What would you like to eat, love?” Andrew asked her as he walked in
behind us.
He placed her bag on the floor and looked at Emma.
“I’m not that hungry.” Emma said softly.
“You are eating, Emma.” Andrew said sternly. “You heard doctor Wren. You
have to eat.”
The fuckers have been starving her. She lost a lot of weight, and she needed
to eat often. Wren told us not to force her, but we needed to make sure that
she ate enough food. Small portions, five times a day. That was the rule, and I
would be damned if she broke it. She needed to get better. I needed her to get
better.
“Okay.” Emma nodded. “Can you make me lasagna, please?”
She grinned at Andrew, and he laughed.
“I knew it.” he said as he approached her bed. “Of course, love. I will make
you the best lasagna you have ever had.”

He bent down and kissed her forehead.
“Everything you make is the best.” Emma said, giving him a small smile.
“You don’t have to flatter me.” Andrew said, rolling his eyes playfully. “I
will make you lasagna.”
Emma chuckled and shook her head.
The smile on her face made my heart grew double. She would only be happy
from now on. I would make sure of it.
“Okay, love.” Andrew said as he walked toward the door. “I’m going to start
cooking. I will come and get you when it’s done.”
“Thank you, Andrew.” Emma said with a small smile on her face. “I love
you.”
“I love you too, Em.” Andrew said as he smiled brightly.
He stepped out of the room and looked at me.
“Call me if she needs anything, okay?” Andrew told me.
“Of course.” I said, giving him a small smile.
Andrew nodded, looked at Emma one more time, and closed the door behind
himself.
I looked at my mate and approached her bed.
I needed to taste her. Right the fuck now.
I bent down and captured her lips with mine. Her taste and her smell invaded
my senses.
She moaned and opened up for me. I ran my tongue along her lower lip
before sliding it into her mouth.
Fuck. I missed this so fucking much.

Emma grabbed the front of my hoodie and pulled me on top of her.
“I’ll hurt you.” I mumbled as I stopped myself from laying on top of her.
“You won’t.” she said softly as she kissed my neck. “I need this. I need you.”
Oh, fuck.
I growled and lowered myself onto her gently. I still held most of my weight
on my elbows. She was so much smaller than me, and after what she’d been
through, she weighed practically nothing. I had to be careful.
Emma wrapped her legs around my waist and continued to kiss my neck and
my jaw.
I could feel my dick getting harder and harder by the second.
“Fuck, baby.” I mumbled as I tried to take deep breaths.
“I missed your taste.” Emma mumbled as she ran her tongue over my jaw and
toward my mouth.
A shiver went down my body, and my dick twitched painfully.
“Fuck, Emma.” I growled as I cupped her cheek and kissed her as hard as I
could.
She moaned and arched her body up, pressing herself closer to me.
I could smell her arousal, and I wanted to rip her fucking clothes off and bury
myself into her.
“You little devil.” I growled as I started to kiss her neck. “You are going to
make me cum in my pants again.”
Emma chuckled and ran her fingers through my hair. She moaned quietly
when I started sucking on her marking spot.
“As soon as you recover, I will sink my canines right here.” I said as I ran my

tongue over the spot.
She shivered, and I could smell her arousal even more.
Fucking shit. We had to stop. Andrew was downstairs.
“I can’t wait for you to do that.” Emma said softly as she ran her hands down
my body and toward my dick.
I stopped kissing her neck and looked up at her. Her breath was short and
fast, and I could see the lust in her eyes. I smirked at her as I placed a small
kiss on her lips.
“I will mark you and marry you as soon as fucking possible.” I told her as I
sucked her lower lip into my mouth.
Emma moaned, and the sound shot straight down to my dick.
“I will make you mine in every fucking way possible, Emma.” I said. “You
are mine.”
“I’m yours.” she said, and I almost came into my pants again.
Fuck.
“You will need to repeat that once I put my dick inside of you, baby.” I said.
“It will make me cum like nothing ever has before.”
Emma chuckled and caressed my cheek.
“I will say it as many times as you want me to.” she said softly.
“A billion times?” I suggested as I raised an eyebrow.
“Sure.” she shrugged. “If you do the counting.”
I laughed and kissed the tip of her nose.
“Deal.” I said, lowering my lips to hers.

She wrapped her legs around me even tighter than before, and I pressed my
dick on her pussy, wanting her to know what she was doing to me.
“Oh, Logan.” she moaned my name, and it sounded fucking perfect coming
from that delicious mouth of hers.
“As soon as you recover, you will be screaming my name as you come all
over my dick.” I growled as I kissed her harder.
I couldn’t wait for it to happen. I couldn’t wait to make her mine in every
fucking way possible. She was finally back in my arms, and I would never let
her go again.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT – No way
Emma POV
How the hell would I tell my overprotective brother and overprotective mate
that I wanted to see Sienna and Samuel?
They would go insane.
“Eat, Emma.” Andrew’s stern voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I looked down at my plate and took a piece of toast into my hand.
“What were you thinking about, baby?” Logan asked softly as he placed a
hand on my back.
I looked at him and bit my lower lip.
Should I ask them? I probably shouldn’t. I knew what they would say.
“Emma?” Logan called my name worriedly. “What’s wrong, baby?”
Andrew growled, reaching out and taking my hand in his.
“Nothing’s wrong.” I said, trying to calm them down. “I just have a
question.”
“Fuck, Em.” Andrew mumbled, squeezing my hand tighter. “Don’t do this to
me.”
“Sorry.” I mumbled, giving him a small smile.
Andrew lifted my hand and kissed it. He closed his eyes and took a deep
breath.
“What question, baby?” Logan asked as he ran his fingers through my hair.

“You will probably say no.” I sighed.
“Try us.” Logan said, smiling at me.
I took a deep breath and squeezed Andrew’s hand.
“I would like to see Sienna and Samuel.” I said, keeping my eyes on my
mate.
It was silent for a second, but then both Logan and Andrew growled loudly.
“Why?” Andrew asked, making me look at him. “I don’t want you near
them!”
“No fucking way, Emma.” Logan growled as he picked me up and placed me
on his lap. “Forget it.”
I sighed and looked at my mate.
He was pissed off, but I wasn’t surprised. I expected him to react like this.
“Why would you even want to see those fuckers?” Andrew asked again,
growling.
“I’m not sure.” I said quietly as I looked at my brother. “I guess that I need to
talk to them. I need some kind of closure.”
“You will have closure.” Logan growled. “You will be a Luna. You will be
my wife. You will be the mother of my children. You don’t need to see them
to have your closure.”
I looked at my mate and caressed his cheek gently. He was right. I was going
to be all of those things, but I still needed to do this.
“Emma, love, the only thing that they will do is hurt you.” Andrew said
softly. “They will say hurtful things. They will scream. They will try to hurt
you physically. We can’t let them do that. We can’t let you see them.”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I knew all of that. I knew what they would say. I knew it would be easy.
I leaned my forehead on Logan’s, and he tightened his arms around me.
“Can you please think about it?” I asked quietly, keeping my eyes closed.
I was taking deep breaths, trying to get as much of Logan’s scent into my
lungs as possible. It calmed me down. It made me feel at home.
“I know it’s crazy.” I continued. “I know that they would try to hurt me. I
know that you would never let them, because you wouldn't let me do that
alone. Think about it, please. I feel like I really need to do this.”
Neither Logan nor Andrew spoke. I was just about to open my eyes when
Logan captured my lips with his.
He gave me a small, soft kiss before pulling away.
I wanted to whine, but my brother was right there. I wanted that kiss to last
longer.
I opened my eyes and looked at my mate. He was frowning.
“I will think about it.” Logan said. “But if I let you do this, it will be after I
mark you. I’m not risking anything again.”
I glanced at my brother. He gave me a small nod.
“Thank you.” I said softly as I looked back at my mate.
“Don’t thank me yet.” Logan said, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.
“I didn’t say I would let you. I said that I would think about it.”
“Well, thank you for thinking about it.” I said, grinning at my mate.
Logan rolled his eyes playfully and lifted me off of his lap.
“You need to go and get ready.” Logan said as he put me down on my feet.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Get ready?
“For what?” I asked, looking at my brother.
Andrew smirked and shrugged. He definitely knew what Logan was talking
about.
“You and I are going to my cabin for the weekend.” Logan said, making me
look back at him.
“What?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows again.
“We are going to my cabin, baby.” Logan said, giving me a small smile. “Just
you and me.”
Logan winked at me, and my brother growled.
“Stop that.” Andrew said sternly. “I already know what’s going to happen
there. I don’t need a reminder.”
I blushed, and Logan smirked.
“I’m sorry, buddy.” Logan said, grinning at my brother.
My brother rolled his eyes and stood up. He took our plates and put them in
the dishwasher.
As soon as he turned around, Logan placed his hand on my thigh. He ran his
hand up and down, brushing the area between my legs as he did so.
I had to stop myself from moaning. I felt wetness between my legs, and I just
wanted him to stop. We couldn’t do this here.
Logan leaned in and placed a small kiss on my collarbone. It only made it
worse. The throbbing between my legs was now getting painful.
Soon, baby. Logan mind-linked me. Soon I will rub that pussy. Soon I will
suck that delicious clit of yours. Soon I will be right inside you, where I
belong.

I almost came right then and there.
I looked at him and saw him smirking. He knew exactly what he was doing to
me.
I’m going to get you back for this. I mind-linked him.
Oh, I can’t wait. He responded, winking at me.
I couldn’t wait to get to the cabin. I couldn’t wait to make him mine.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE – The cabin
Logan POV
“So this is where you held all of those parties I was never allowed to come
to?” Emma asked as soon as I parked my car in front of my cabin.
“You were underage.” I told her as I unbuckled my seat belt.
“Like you would let me come even if I wasn’t.” Emma chuckled, opening the
car door.
“And have all the men stare at my mate?” I growled, watching her ass as she
left the car. “I wouldn’t think so.”
Her ass was fucking perfection, and I couldn’t wait to get her out of those
jeans.
I opened the car door and stepped outside.
Emma walked to the trunk and opened it.
“Nobody would stare at me.” Emma said. “I’m not that pretty.”
I snorted, making her look at me.
She was the most beautiful woman on this planet.
“Well, to you I am because I’m your mate.” Emma sighed, taking her
backpack out of the trunk.
“Let me tell you a story.” I said, picking up my backpack and closing the
trunk. “Back then, when I was an idiot who rejected you, I tried to find out as
much as I could about Jacob.”
My heart clenched painfully just remembering the time I didn’t have her. I
couldn’t believe how fucking stupid I was. I couldn’t believe that I almost

lost her. I couldn’t believe that I almost let another man have her.
She was mine.
‘MINE!’ Leon growled.
‘Ours.’ I reassured him before I continued telling the story to Emma.
“I called Lewis into my office because I knew that he would be able to tell
me a lot about Jacob.” I continued as I pulled the keys to the cabin out of my
pocket.
I glanced at my perfect little mate and saw that she was looking at me with
curiosity written all over her beautiful face.
“Lewis told me that Jacob was in love with a girl and that he was going to ask
her to be his chosen mate.” I said, and I wasn’t able to stop myself from
growling.
I was still jealous of him. I still hated him for trying to take my girl.
Emma took her hand in mine and gave me a small smile. I bent down to kiss
her forehead.
“Lewis also told me that a lot of the guys from the patrol were in love with
that girl.” I said as I unlocked and opened the front door. “So you can’t really
tell me that you aren’t pretty when you have our entire patrol drooling after
you.”
“Maybe he was talking about another girl.” Emma shrugged.
I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She chuckled and shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter, Logan.” she said as she placed her backpack on the floor.
“I’m yours anyway.”
My dick twitched in my pants.
Fuck yes, she was.

“Yes, you are.” I growled, grabbing her arm and pulling her closer to me.
I captured her lips with mine, and her amazing taste entered my mouth. I
grunted, making her moan and press herself closer to me.
“I can’t wait to be inside of you, baby.” I told her as I started kissing up and
down her jaw. “I can’t wait to make you mine and mine only.”
Emma ran her fingers through my hair and lifted my head gently.
“Can we talk about something first?” she asked quietly.
I saw a hint of nervousness on her face, and I immediately went into
protective mode.
“Of course, baby.” I said as I picked her up and carried her to the living
room.
She looked around, and I could tell that she was impressed. I was glad
because all of this was hers now.
I sat down on the couch, placing her on my lap. She straddled me and placed
her hands on my chest.
“Is something wrong, baby?” I asked her worriedly. “Are you nervous about
us? Are you having second thoughts? Are you...”
Emma placed her hand on my mouth, making me frown at her.
“I’m not having second thoughts about us, Logan.” she said softly. “I can’t
wait to make you mine. I can’t wait to become yours. I just...”
She stopped talking and took a deep breath. I moved her hand from my
mouth.
“Is it about sex?” I asked gently. “We don’t have to do anything if you are
not ready, Emma.”
“I’m so ready for that.” she said, chuckling. “It’s not about sex. I want to

have sex with you.”
My dick twitched again. I felt relieved. Of course I would have waited if she
wasn’t ready, but I was so fucking glad that she was. I couldn’t wait to be
inside her.
Emma bit her lip and looked down at her hands.
“I know that having pups early is very common in our world.” Emma spoke
quietly. “I know that you want and need heirs to the pack. I want that too. I
want to have pups with you, but I don’t want to have them yet.”
Emma looked up at me, and I saw fear in her eyes.
“I’m only eighteen.” she continued, and I could hear a hint of panic in her
voice. “I’ve been through so much lately, and I just need some time to get
over that. I don’t want to bring a baby into the world when I’m still
struggling to get over everything that happened. I’m sorry, Logan. I
understand if you don’t want me anymore. I understand if you don’t...”
It was my turn to stop her from talking further.
I pressed my lips against hers, stopping her from talking like a crazy person.
“You are crazy if you think that I would leave you just because you are not
ready to have pups right now.” I told her softly. “I want to enjoy you for a
little while anyway. We have time, Emma. We don’t have to rush into
anything, baby.”
Emma sobbed and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Oh, thank Goddess.” she mumbled. “I thought that you would leave me
again.”
My heart broke.
“Fuck, Emma, no.” I said as I wrapped my arms around her as tightly as I
could. “I would never leave you. You are mine. I don’t give a shit about
anything else. I want you. I need you.”

Emma lifted her head and pressed her lips on mine.
“I love you.” she said softly.
“I love you too, baby.” I said, pressing my lips against hers again.
I ran my fingers through her hair, and she grabbed the front of my shirt,
pulling me closer to her.
“I am going to mark you and marry you, though.” I said as I started kissing
her neck. “I need to make you mine.”
“I need you to make me yours.” Emma said softly, making me groan and
press my dick on her pussy.
This was happening. She would be mine. I would finally make her mine.

CHAPTER NINETY – First time
Logan POV
The taste of her was fucking amazing. Her scent, her soft skin, her warmth…
Everything was fucking amazing.
I kissed her neck and sucked on her marking spot, making her moan.
“Bedroom?” I asked, praying to the Goddess that she would say yes.
“Yes.” Emma said softly.
Well, thank you, Goddess.
I stood up, tightened my arms around her, and started walking to the
bedroom.
My heart was pounding like crazy. It would finally happen. I would finally
mark my mate. I would finally make her mine.
Emma kissed my neck softly, and my dick twitched painfully. I saw fucking
stars the moment she sucked on my marking spot.
“Fuck, Emma.” I growled as I kicked the bedroom door open.
I hurried toward the bed and laid her down gently.
I looked at her beautiful face and smiled.
“I love you so fucking much.” I told her as I kissed the tip of her nose.
“I love you too.” she said quietly.
I could hear nervousness in her voice, and it made my heart clench painfully.
“Don’t be nervous, baby.” I said softly as I caressed her cheek. “I will go

slow. If you want me to stop, just say the word, okay? I won’t do anything
that you don’t want me to do.”
“I’m more nervous about what I’m supposed to do.” Emma chuckled and bit
her lower lip.
I growled and sucked it under her teeth.
“You are supposed to lie here and enjoy, baby.” I told her. “Let me do
everything. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to do all kinds of
dirty stuff to me.”
I winked at her, and she chuckled. The sound of her laugh made my heart
swell.
I started to undress her slowly. I removed her hoodie and saw a black, lacy
bra underneath.
I grunted with need. She was driving me fucking crazy.
I took my sweet time with her. We were alone. There would be no
interruptions. There was no need to rush anything. I had her amazing body
underneath me, and I planned on enjoying it as much as I wanted to.
I leaned in, placed a kiss on her collar bone, and reached behind her to
unclasp her bra. I took off her bra and immediately sucked on one of her
nipples.
“Oh, Logan.” Emma moaned, arching her back and pressing herself closer to
me.
My dick was pulsating in my jeans.
I sucked on her nipple until I decided that I should give my attention to the
other one. I used my hands to rub her over her jeans. I was teasing her, and I
could tell that she was getting a little bit frustrated. Her breaths became short
and fast. She kept pushing herself against my hand.
“Logan, please.” she whined and her voice almost made me cum.

She moaned my name. She needed me.
Me.
I started kissing down her belly until I reached her jeans.
“Do you want me to continue?” I asked, wanting to make sure that she was
still okay with everything.
She nodded and gulped. I winked at her as I started to unbutton her jeans.
The scent of her arousal was driving me fucking crazy.
“I’m going to make you cum, baby.” I told her as I removed her jeans. “I
need you wet and ready for me.”
I looked down at her thong. It matched her bra. I grabbed her hips and turned
her around to look at her perfect little ass.
Emma gasped. She chuckled the moment I grabbed her ass and growled.
It was perfect. She was perfect.
I turned her back around and removed her thong.
She was naked. Underneath me. I could do with her body whatever I wanted
to because she was fucking mine.
MINE!
I looked at her beautiful face and smirked. I grabbed her knees and pushed
her legs open.
I almost whined when I saw her beautiful little pussy just waiting for me.
She was so fucking wet already.
“Fuck, baby.” I said as I ran my finger from her clit to the hole I would soon
fill with my cock. “You are ready for me, aren’t you?”

Emma’s breathing picked up, and her eyes widened.
I laid between her legs and lowered my mouth on her clit.
She moaned and arched her back.
“Stay still, baby.” I said as I grabbed her hips with my hand.
I lowered my other hand between her legs and pushed a finger inside of her.
“Oh, Logan.” Emma moaned loudly.
I started sucking on her clit and pushing a finger in and out of her. When I
felt her starting to clench around my fingers, I stopped.
Emma whined, and I chuckled.
“Sorry, baby.” I said as I started pushing another finger into her. “You will be
coming in a second.”
I had to push the second finger in slowly. She was so fucking tight. I sucked
on her clit as I worked two fingers in and out of her.
“Oh, shit.” Emma mumbled, and I chuckled.
I looked up at her and wished that I could take a picture of her beautiful face
right now. Her cheeks were flushed. Her eyes were wide and filled with lust.
Her mouth was slightly open, and she kept biting her lower lip. Her chest
kept falling up and down rapidly, making her tits bounce and giving me a
perfect view.
I was so fucking ready to cum.
I felt her clench around my fingers, and I knew that she was cumming. I kept
my eyes on her because I wanted to look at her while she came.
She was fucking perfection.
I slowed down my sucking and pumping and waited for her orgasm to finish.

“Oh, Goddes.” Emma mumbled as she laid down on the bed.
“It will be so much better when you come on my cock, baby.” I said as I
kissed her body.
I captured her mouth with mine and let her taste herself on my tongue. She
moaned and kissed me harder.
She started tugging on my sweater, and I pulled it up over my head. I stood
up to remove my jeans and my boxers.
I watched her face as she looked up and down my body. Her eyes widened as
soon as she saw my cock. She bit her lip and looked up at me.
I growled. The innocent look in her eyes was driving me fucking crazy.
“This is all mine.” Emma said quietly, looking me in the eyes.
I could swear that I just fucking came.
“All yours, baby.” I said as I laid back on top of her.
Emma ran her hands up and down my body, making me growl and shiver.
“I love you.” Emma said, placing a kiss on my neck.
“I love you too, baby.” I said as I grabbed a fistful of her hair.
I pulled her head up and covered her lips with mine.
I placed the tip of my cock at her entrance.
My heart was racing. This was it. One small push, and she would be mine.
I ran my fingers through her folds, making sure that she was still wet and
ready for me.
“Are you ready, baby?” I asked her.

She nodded and grabbed both of my arms.
“It will hurt for only a second, okay?” I told her as I kissed her lips gently. “I
won’t move until you tell me to.”
Emma nodded, and I placed another kiss on her lips. I started to push inside
of her. I kept my eyes on hers. I wanted to watch her become mine.
I made sure to go slow. She was so fucking tight, soft, and warm.
I had no fucking idea how long I would last like this.
I kissed her again as I continued to push inside of her.
I kept my eyes on hers the entire time. I needed to see her become mine.
I fucking needed it.

CHAPTER NINETY-ONE – Marked
Emma POV
I couldn’t decide if the feeling of Logan pushing inside of me was amazing or
weird.
It was probably both.
I had to remind myself to keep breathing. I had to remind myself to remain
calm.
I kept my eyes on Logan’s the entire time. I couldn’t look away. I didn’t want
to look away. The desire in his eyes was so reassuring.
I was so scared that I would do something wrong. I was so scared that Logan
wouldn’t be satisfied. I was so scared that she wouldn’t enjoy this.
I was so glad that I was wrong. The only thing I saw in his eyes was love.
Logan stopped pushing and kissed my lips softly.
“Take a deep breath, baby.” he said as he reached between us and started
rubbing my clit. “This will hurt a little.”
I nodded and took a deep breath.
Logan started pushing in again, and I felt something tear inside of me. Pain
spread through my body, and I grabbed Logan’s arms tightly.
“There we go, baby.” Logan said softly. “It should stop hurting in a minute.”
I took another deep breath and gave him a small smile. The pain was
bearable. It wasn’t bad.
Logan leaned in and kissed me softly. I moaned, and he moved a little.

“Can I start moving?” he asked as he placed a kiss on my neck.
He never stopped rubbing my clit. It helped a lot. The pleasure was starting to
push the pain away.
“Yes.” I said quietly.
Logan kissed me and started moving in and out of me.
The feeling was weird but good. I liked it. I just had to get used to it.
Logan grunted and started sucking on my nipple. I moaned and arched my
back.
“Fuck, Emma, don’t move.” Logan growled. “I’m going to cum.”
He pushed me back down on the bed and kissed me.
He pulled out of me, making me whine and frown at him.
“You will get it back, baby.” Logan chuckled as he opened the nightstand. “I
just need to put a condom on. I want us to cum together.”
He smiled and winked at me. Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I was sure that I
was as red as a tomato.
Logan opened the condom and started putting it on. I saw a little bit of my
blood on him.
Logan looked up at me and laid back on top of me. He lined himself up with
my entrance and pushed in slowly.
The feeling was still weird, but much more enjoyable than before.
I moaned and kissed him hard.
“Fuck, baby.” Logan mumbled as he started pushing in and out of me even
faster than before.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he growled.

“Shit, Emma, stay like that.” he said as he lifted himself a little and started
pushing in and out of me again.
I gasped and threw my head back. He was amazing. This was amazing. I
never wanted him to stop.
I felt his lips on my neck, and a shiver went up and down my body.
“I need to mark you, Emma.” Logan growled.
I looked at him and saw that his canines were already out. He was looking at
my marking spot and breathing heavily.
“Mark me.” I said softly as I felt my own canines slip out. “I am yours.”
Logan growled, placed his lips on my neck, and sucked on my marking spot
gently. I almost came.
I moaned, doing the same for him.
“Fuck.” Logan growled as he reached between us and started rubbing my clit.
I was going to cum.
“Cum for me, baby.” Logan growled, sending shivers down my spine. “Cum
on my cock.”
I listened to him. I felt an explosion in my lower belly as I wrapped my legs
around Logan even tighter.
Logan grunted, and I felt his canines pierce the skin on my neck.
The explosion only intensified, and I cried out in pleasure. My senses kicked
in, and I sank my canines into his neck.
Logan’s movement stilled, and he grunted loudly. I felt him lick the wound
on my neck, and I did the same for him.
“Mine.” Logan growled quietly.

“Yours.” I said, running my hand up and down his muscular back.
This was the best feeling in the whole world.
Logan lifted his head and kissed me hard. I moaned into his mouth as he
pulled out of me.
“I love you, baby.” Logan mumbled as he kissed the tip of my nose.
“I love you too.” I said, smiling at him.
I unwrapped my legs from around his waist, and he laid down next to me. He
pulled me to his chest and buried his nose in my hair.
“Only mine.” he mumbled, his voice raspy.
I smiled and placed a kiss on his collarbone.
‘How are you doing, Eliza?’ I asked my wolf.
I didn’t check on her before. I couldn’t. I was completely focused on Logan.
‘Remember when you said that you would never let Logan touch you again?’
Eliza said with a smirk in her voice, making me chuckle.
She was panting hard. I could feel her intense emotions. I could feel Leon’s
emotions. I could feel Logan’s. I felt them before, but not like this. It felt like
they were my own.
“What’s funny, baby?” Logan asked as he traced a finger up and down my
back.
“Eliza was reminding me of what I said when I was mad at you.” I said,
looking up at him.
“What did you say?” Logan asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
“I don’t think you want to know.” I chuckled, making him narrow his eyes at
me.

“What did you say?” he repeated his question as he lowered his hand and
spanked my butt.
I flinched and moaned. Logan smirked at me and spanked my butt again.
“What did you say, Emma?” Logan asked, leaning in and biting my lower lip.
“I said that I would never let you touch me again.” I answered, panting hard.
Logan growled and smirked.
“Look how that turned out.” he mumbled as he sucked on the mark on my
neck.
I was so wet again. I was ready for him again.
“Fuck, baby.” Logan growled as he touched my clit softly. “I want to fuck
you again, but you will be too sore tomorrow. We need to take this slow.”
He kissed me hard and bit my lower lip.
“How about we take this to the bathroom?” he asked as he sat up and pulled
me with him. “I will make you a bath and show you a thing or two while I’m
at it.”
Logan winked at me, and my heart raced.
“Deal.” I said, giving him a big smile.
Logan chuckled, stood up, grabbed me, and put me over his shoulder.
I gasped and tried to get out of his hold. He only spanked my butt again,
making me chuckle and give in.

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO – Will you marry me?
Logan POV
I was so fucking nervous.
I had no idea why. She would say yes. She was already marked, mated, and
mine.
Marriage was just a formality. Just another way to tie her to me. We didn’t
really need it, but I wanted to make her mine in every way possible.
There was still a tiny possibility that she would say no. What if she changed
her mind? What if she decided to find a witch and remove my mark? What if
she wanted someone else, like Jacob or Drake?
Leon growled loudly.
‘MINE!’ He screamed. ‘Fucking mine!’
I took a deep breath and tightened my hold on her hand.
‘Stop thinking about that, Logan.’ Leon growled at me. ‘I will come out and
stick my claws up your ass. She is mine. She isn’t Jacob’s or Drake’s. She is
mine. MINE!’
‘You are right.’ I said as I looked at my mate. ‘She is ours.’
We were walking toward the lake. I wanted to take her to a special place on
the lake so we could watch the sunset together. I decided to propose to her
there. I was the only one who knew about that spot, and it would now become
ours. It would become the place where she would say yes to spending the rest
of her life with me.
Andrew helped me pick out a ring. He was even more excited than me, if that
was possible. We chose a beautiful ring, and I couldn’t wait to place it on her
finger.

“Why are you nervous?” Emma asked me.
I furrowed my eyebrows. How did she know?
“I can feel your emotions now, Logan.” Emma chuckled.
Of course. Yes. I marked her. I could feel her, and she could feel me. I was so
nervous that I forgot about that.
“I’m not nervous.” I lied. “I’m excited to show you the spot. Maybe I’m a bit
nervous if you will like it, though.”
“I will love it.” Emma said, smiling brightly at me.
My heart raced, and I fell a little more in love with her. She was so beautiful
when she smiled.
I watched as her hair touched her waist. I watched as her blue eyes roamed
around. I watched her smile. I watched her perfect little body as she walked
next to me. I watched her plump lips that I loved to kiss and bite. I filled my
lungs with her amazing scent. I enjoyed the tingles and sparks that flew up
and down my body.
I enjoyed her.
I couldn’t believe that I almost fucking lost her.
“Is this the place?” Emma asked, looking up at me.
I blinked and looked around. I didn’t even pay attention to where we were
going. All I saw was her. All I felt was her.
“It is.” I said as I pulled her closer to the lake. “Do you like it?”
She looked around and smiled.
“I do.” she said as she wrapped her arms around my waist.
I liked it as well, but the most beautiful thing here was her. I used to think

this place was beautiful. Now I was sure that it would never be the same
without her.
I kissed the top of her head and looked at the sunset.
“It’s beautiful.” Emma mumbled quietly.
I smiled and looked down at her. The soft orange glow of the sun made her
skin look like gold.
I wanted to kiss every part of her. I wanted to touch her. I wanted to be inside
of her again.
I had one important thing to do first. I had to ask her to be my wife.
My heart was racing like crazy, and my palms started sweating. I was so
fucking nervous.
I let her go, reached out into my back pocket, and pulled out a ring box.
Emma was so entranced by the sunset that she didn’t even notice it.
I smiled as I watched her beautiful face.
I slowly got down on one knee and watched her face as she realized that
something was happening.
She furrowed her eyebrows and turned to look at me. It took her a second to
realize that I wasn’t standing next to her anymore. She looked down at me,
and her eyes widened.
“Emma, baby, I love you so much.” I said, trying to stop my voice from
shaking. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I will never let you go
again. My body, my heart, and my soul are yours. I was an idiot. I was a
complete fool, and I will be apologizing for that for the rest of my life. I will
show you how much I love you until I take my last breath. I will be by your
side for the rest of my life. I will never take you for granted, and I will love
you with every piece of my heart. Will you marry me, Emma?”
My heart was going to jump out of my chest. I knew it. I could feel it piercing

my rib cage.
I watched as tears fell on her cheeks. I watched as she placed her hand over
her mouth. I heard a small sob escape her lips.
She looked me in the eyes and smiled through her tears.
“Yes.” she said softly as she threw herself on me. “Yes, yes, yes!”
I caught her and pressed her close to me.
Oh, thank fuck!
She said yes! She fucking said yes!
She kissed me, and I was in fucking heaven.
I reluctantly stopped kissing her and took the ring out of the box. I took her
left hand in mine and gently placed the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. It
was perfect.
She was perfect.
I lifted her hand and kissed the ring. Emma cupped my cheek, lifted my head,
and pressed her lips on mine.
I was in heaven, and I never wanted to leave.
“I love you, baby.” I said, leaning my forehead on hers.
“I love you too.” Emma said, making my heart skip a beat.
What the fuck did I do to deserve her? I didn’t really know, but I knew that I
would do anything to keep her.
She was mine.

CHAPTER NINETY-THREE – The move
Emma POV
I stared at the ring on my finger.
This was so surreal. I was engaged. I would be someone’s wife. Me. Emma. I
would be a wife.
A small smile spread across my face. I liked that I would become Logan’s
wife. I wanted it. I wanted to be tied to him in every way possible.
“I can’t wait to wake up to this every day for the rest of my life.” I heard
Logan’s voice, and I looked up.
He was leaning on the doorframe, and he had a smile on his face.
“Wake up to what?” I asked as I stood up and approached him.
“Your beautiful face.” he said as he pulled me to him.
He pressed his lips against mine, and I moaned.
“No.” I heard Andrew’s stern voice. “Not in my house.”
Logan growled and stopped kissing me. I chuckled and looked at my brother.
He had a box in his hands, and he was staring at Logan menacingly.
“Sorry, man.” Logan sighed. “Get used to it. You will see this every damn
day from now on.”
Andrew rolled his eyes and walked away from us.
I chuckled again, turned around, and walked to the pile of clothes on my bed.
I started folding my clothes and putting them in the box on the floor.

Andrew and I were moving into the packhouse. We talked about staying here,
but Logan had to go back to the packhouse. It was easier to move right now.
We had a lot to do in the next few months.
We found a lot of information about me in the caves where Samuel kept me.
We needed to go through it and learn as much as possible about me.
I had to organize my Luna ceremony. I had to learn everything I could from
aunt Gloria.
But before I could focus on anything else, I needed to see Sienna and Samuel.
Logan approached me and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
He placed a kiss on my shoulder, and I shivered.
“When can I go see Sienna and Samuel?” I asked Logan.
He growled and tightened his arms around me.
“I was hoping that you forgot about that.” he mumbled.
I turned around and smiled at him. “Of course I didn’t.”
Logan sighed and placed a small kiss on my lips.
“Why do you want to see them, baby?” Logan mumbled as he caressed my
cheek.
I bit my lower lip and shrugged. “I’m not sure. I just know that I need to.”
Logan studied my face for a few moments.
“I will talk to Andrew.” Logan sighed. “I want to do it as soon as possible. I
want to be done with it.”
I nodded and smiled.
“You are not going alone.” Logan growled. “Andrew and I will both be
there.”

“Of course.” I said softly. “I want you there. I couldn’t do that alone.”
Logan nodded and leaned in to kiss me softly.
I melted into his arms, and I felt myself get wet. Just one small kiss, and I
was gone.
“My eyes are burning.” I heard my brother’s voice.
I stopped kissing Logan and chuckled.
“I told you to get used to it.” Logan sighed and turned around to look at my
annoyed brother.
Andrew rolled his eyes and stepped into my room.
“Can I take something into the car?” Andrew asked me, looking around my
room.
“The boxes by the door are ready.” I said, pointing behind him.
Andrew nodded and turned around to pick one of the boxes up.
“Your sister wants to go see Sienna and Samuel.” Logan said, making
Andrew stand up abruptly.
He turned around to look at me and frowned.
“You haven’t changed your mind?” Andrew asked me.
I shook my head. “I need to go talk to them.”
Andrew sighed and glanced at Logan.
“I was hoping that she forgot about that.” Andrew mumbled, making me roll
my eyes.
“I said the same thing.” Logan sighed.
I turned back around and continued to fold my clothes.

“I want to do it as soon as possible, Andrew.” Logan continued talking to my
brother.
“Me too.” Andrew agreed. “I want to be done with it.”
“How about today, Emma?” Logan asked me.
My stomach twisted, and my palms started sweating.
“Today is good.” I said, trying to stop my voice from shaking.
Wanting to see them didn’t mean that I wasn’t terrified. I would see two
people who hurt me the most. I would see the woman who bullied me my
whole life. I would see the man who tortured me.
To say that I was scared would be an understatement.
But I had to do it.
“Okay.” Andrew said after a few moments of silence.
I heard him walking out of my room, and a second later, Logan was standing
behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my shoulder.
“You don’t have to do it, baby.” Logan said softly. “I can feel your fear. You
don’t have to see them.”
“I know.” I mumbled. “I want to, though.”
I turned around and wrapped my arms around his waist. I leaned my head on
his chest and looked up at him.
“You won’t let them hurt me.” I said softly.
It wasn’t a question, it was a statement. I knew that he would never let
anyone hurt me again.
“Of course not, baby.” Logan said as he caressed my cheek. “Nobody will
ever hurt you again.”

I smiled and pressed myself closer to him. His touch and his scent were
enough to take the fear away.
“I love you, Emma.” Logan said, kissing the top of my head.
“I know.” I said.
“I want to hear you say that you love me too.” Logan growled, making me
chuckle.
“I love you too.” I said, looking up at him.
“That’s more like it.” Logan said, smiling at me.
He loved me, and I loved him.
Nothing would separate us again.

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR – The cellar
Andrew POV
I watched my childhood friend with pure hatred in my eyes.
I hated her so fucking much.
She pretended to love me. She pretended to love my sister. She hurt my
sister. She tried to kill her. She almost took her away from me.
Seeing her lying on the floor, chained, beaten, and bloody, made me so
fucking happy.
“Are you here to torture me again, Andrew?” she asked as she raised her head
and looked at me.
Her cheeks were sunken. Her complexion was gray and dull. Her eyes were
puffy and red. Her hair was greasy and stuck to her face.
I smirked. I liked seeing her like this. Tortured and hurt, just like she wanted
my sister to be.
“Not today, unfortunately.” I said. “And it’s Beta Andrew to you.”
“Why are you here?” she asked, trying to sit up.
“Someone wants to talk to you.” I said, trying to hold back a growl. “You are
going to be on your best behavior, or else you and I will have another one of
my famous torture sessions.”
We had them regularly, but she knew what I meant. She remembered how I
pulled her toenails with pliers.
Sienna shivered, and her eyes widened in fear.

“You remember, don’t you?” I smirked. “I will gladly do it again if you don’t
behave.”
Can we come in? Logan mind-linked me.
Yes. I answered. She’s been warned.
The cell door opened, and I watched as Sienna’s eyes snapped toward it.
I looked at Logan. He was glaring at Sienna. Emma walked in behind him.
Her eyes roamed around the room until they landed on Sienna.
“One wrong move, and I’m torturing the shit out of you.” Logan growled at
her.
The bitch smirked as her eyes fell on Emma.
“Well, if it isn’t miss perfect.” Sienna said. “To what do I owe the pleasure of
being visited by the pack’s Luna?”
Logan closed the cell door and pulled Emma to his chest.
“I wanted to see you.” Emma said. “I wanted to tell you that you didn’t break
me. I wanted you to know that I forgive you for trying.”
I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Logan.
Forgive? I mind-linked him. What the hell is she talking about?
I have no idea, man. Logan sighed.
“I don’t need your forgiveness!” Sienna growled.
“Sienna!” I growled warningly.
“Well, you still have it.” Emma said calmly. “I want to move on with my life.
The only way to do that is to put you behind me. I can’t put you behind me
until I forgive you. So I do. I forgive you, Sienna.”
I looked at my sister with complete admiration.

“I wish that you hadn’t done it.” Emma continued, not giving Sienna a
chance to speak. “You had two wonderful men by your side. You had me.
We could have been like sisters. I was never a threat to you. I’m sorry you
never saw that.”
“Not a threat to me?” Sienna scoffed. “They always loved you more.”
“There are different kinds of love, and you can’t compare them.” Emma said.
“I’m Andrew’s sister. The love he has for me is different from the one he had
for you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he loved me more. You were his
childhood friend. You grew up together. He loved you. I wish that was
enough for you.”
She is fucking amazing. Logan mind-linked me.
She is. I mumbled, staring at her in admiration.
“And what about Logan?” Sienna growled again. “You stole him from me!”
Logan growled loudly and wanted to take a step closer to Sienna, but Emma
stopped him.
“I didn’t.” Emma said calmly. “If you hadn’t tried to kill me, maybe you
would be his mate now. Logan definitely loved you more than he loved me. I
was just his friend’s little sister. We never talked or spent time together
before. If you just loved him like he loved you, maybe you would be by his
side now.”
Logan growled and pulled Emma closer to him.
I didn’t think that would have happened. Logan was caving long before we
found out what a major bitch Sienna was.
“Stop lying, you little bitch.” Sienna said, gritting her teeth. “The moment he
found out that you were his mate, I was fucking no one. I was nothing to
him!”
“That’s not true, Sienna.” Emma said before Logan or I could react and beat

the shit out of Sienna for calling Emma a little bitch. “You were still his
childhood friend. You were still the girl he grew up with. He loved you.
Maybe not the way you wanted him to, but he did.”
Logan tightened his jaw and clenched his fists.
“How does it feel, Emma?” Sienna growled, narrowing her eyes. “How does
it feel to know that your mate fucked me before you? How does it feel to
know that his mouth has been on me first? How does it feel to know that I
made him feel good, maybe even better than you will ever be able to?”
Logan growled loudly, pushing Emma toward me and stepping closer to
Sienna.
I pulled my sister to me, burying her head in my chest. I wasn’t sure what
Logan planned to do, but I didn’t want Emma to see that.
“I swear to Goddess, I will tear you apart.” Logan growled. “Nothing and no
one have ever made me feel what Emma did. You are nothing compared to
her. The pleasure she gives me is bigger than I ever felt with you. Don’t ever
try to make her feel less than you. You are fucking nothing!”
A lot of what I heard wasn’t meant for my ears, but I couldn’t really let
Emma go and cover them.
“It’s okay, Logan.” Emma said softly, making Logan turn around and reach
out for her.
I let her go, and she approached him. Logan pulled her into his arms and
buried his nose in her hair. He took a deep breath, and his body relaxed.
“I know that you are hurt, Sienna.” Emma sighed. “I know that you didn’t get
what you wanted. I know that you are trying to hurt me right now because
you are angry. I still stand by what I said earlier. I forgive you. I wish it
didn’t have to be like this. I’m sorry if I ever did something to hurt you. It
wasn’t intentional. But I want to be done with you. I want to enjoy my life,
get married, and have children with the man I love. I want to put you behind
me, and I can’t do that if I’m holding a grudge against you. So I forgive you,

Sienna.”
Sienna was staring at my sister with a murderous look on her face.
Emma turned around to look at me.
“I’m done.” she said softly.
I nodded and opened the cell door. Logan stared to pull Emma outside.
“YOU LITTLE BITCH!” Sienna started screaming. “YOU WILL NEVER
BE HAPPY! I WILL NEVER LET YOU BE HAPPY! I WILL GET OUT
OF HERE AND I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!”
Logan and I both growled loudly.
I slammed the door shut before Logan could come back inside. He needed to
be with Emma now, not here.
“You forgot what I promised you, bitch.” I growled, clenching my fists. “You
haven’t behaved nicely.”
Sienna’s murderous eyes landed on me, and she growled.
She just gave me another reason to torture the living shit out of her.
“I will be back later.” I said as I approached the door. “Say goodbye to your
nails.”
I opened the door and stepped back into the hallway.
Logan was kissing Emma fiercely.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. I would never get used to that sight.
“Come here, love.” I said softly as I reached out for my sister.
Logan stopped kissing her, and she walked into my arms. I hugged her as
tightly as I could.

“I’m so proud of you.” I mumbled as I kissed the top of her head. “She
doesn’t deserve your forgiveness, though.”
“I did it for me, not for her.” Emma said, making me smile.
“I know.” I said. “That’s what makes me proud, my little girl. You put
yourself first. You definitely deserve that.”
Emma looked up at me and smiled. I kissed her forehead and breathed in her
familiar scent.
“Let’s go see Samuel.” Logan said. “I want to get over with this.”
Emma and I nodded.
I let her go, and we walked toward Samuel’s cell.

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE – You will never be free
Logan POV
I was pissed the fuck off.
I wanted to kill Sienna.
I was so fucking proud of my future wife. I was so fucking proud to have her
by my side.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest when Sienna mentioned us having
sex. I already pictured Emma leaving me and every fucking cell in my body
hurt. I had to make sure that Emma knew how fucking better she was than
Sienna. No one could compare with her. No other woman interested me. I
only wanted Emma. I only wanted her body, her tight pussy, and her warm
little mouth. Only her!
You believe me, right? I mind-linked her as we approached Samuel’s cell. I
only want you, baby. No one compares with you. Sex with Sienna was
nothing compared with sex with you.
I believe you, Logan. She mind-linked me back. But can we please stop
mentioning Sienna and sex in the same sentence? It’s making Eliza
territorial, and I’m having trouble keeping her calm.
‘Calm your mate down, Leon.’ I told my wolf.
‘I’m trying.’ Leon growled at me. ‘If you didn’t dip your dick where it didn’t
belong, I wouldn’t have to do this.’
I ignored him and let him talk to Eliza. We just arrived in front of Samuel’s
cell.
I pulled Emma closer to me and kissed her temple.

“Can you hold my hand while we are inside?” Emma asked Andrew and me.
“I was much more brave when I talked to Sienna.”
“Of course, Emma.” Andrew said, taking her hand in his.
I pulled her closer and kissed her temple.
I would never let her do this without being right next to her.
“Are you ready?” I asked her.
She took a deep breath and nodded.
I pulled out a key from my pocket and unlocked the fucker’s cell.
Unlike Sienna, he was hanging from a wall. His body was cut, burned, hit,
and electrocuted. Just like he did to Emma.
The smell inside almost made me throw up. There was blood and other fluids
splattered all over the floor.
Samuel looked up as soon as he heard us come inside. His right eye was
swollen shut, curtesy of my visit two days ago.
When his eyes landed on Emma, he smiled and raised his head higher.
“Hello, beautiful.” he said, spitting a little bit of blood on the floor. “I’m so
happy you came to see your mate.”
I growled, closed the distance between me and him in two long strides,
grabbed the back of his neck, and got into his face.
“You are not her mate.” I told him. “Stop looking at her like that.”
The fucker smirked at me, and I had to stop myself from beating the shit out
of him. I didn’t want Emma to see me like that.
“To what do I owe the pleasure, beautiful?” the fucker asked, looking back at
my mate.

I growled and stepped back toward Emma.
“Why did you let the witches torture me?” Emma asked quietly. “If you
wanted me, why did you let them do that to me?”
I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw.
“It was payment for their help.” Samuel said. “I already told you that.”
“They almost killed me.” Emma mumbled. “If my mate and my brother
hadn’t found me, they would have killed me.”
I remembered seeing her hanging from that fucking ceiling. I remembered her
body, all beaten and bruised. I remembered the pain I felt when she was
dying. I remembered it all, and I wanted to kill him on the spot.
But that would rob me of the pleasure of torturing the fucker.
“No, they wouldn’t have, Emma.” Samuel sighed. “I knew what they were
doing. I would come in and stop them. Do you really think that I would let
my mate get killed like that?”
Both Andrew and I growled.
Leon was pissed the fuck off. Thankfully, he was focused on Eliza, so he
wasn’t paying much attention to the fucker.
“I am not your mate.” Emma said.
“I see the mark on your neck, yes.” Samuel said angrily. “Thankfully, that
can be removed.”
I growled loudly. I wanted to go punch the living shit out of him, but Emma
grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“It will never be removed.” Emma said sternly. “Logan is my mate and future
husband. You will never touch me again. You will never take me away from
him.”
Hearing her refer to me as her future husband made my heart race twice as

fast. I was in heaven.
Samuel snickered and raised his head even higher.
“Do you really think that I’m the only one who wanted to take you?” Samuel
said, making my heart stop beating. “Do you really think that there aren’t
others out there who know about you and want to use you?”
Andrew growled loudly and pulled Emma to him.
“What the fuck are you talking about?” I yelled.
Samuel looked at me, and his smirk grew. “You are a naive little man if you
think that no one else would want her. She is a fucking once-in-a-lifetime
find. There are already other men out there who plan on taking her. You got
rid of me, but will you be able to get rid of them?”
My heart was going to break through my rib cage.
I wanted to fucking kill him, but I could feel Emma’s fear, and I needed to be
with her now. She came first. She was my priority.
Stay here and torture the answers out of him. I told Andrew through the
mind-link.
Of course. He growled back.
I turned around, picked Emma up, and took her out of the cell. I heard
Andrew’s menacing growl as he closed the cell door behind us.
I hurried toward the exit. I needed to get her out of here.
As soon as I stepped foot in my room at the packhouse, I sat us down and
cupped her cheeks.
She was pale, but I could see that she was trying to calm herself down.
“No one will take you away again.” I told her. “No one.”

She looked at me and gave me a small smile.
“I know.” she said softly. “I’m sorry I reacted like that. He caught me off
guard.”
I kissed her softly.
“You have nothing to apologize for, baby.” I said as I leaned my forehead on
hers. “I am so fucking proud of you, you know that, right?”
“I do.” she said, smiling.
I kissed her again and savored the taste of her on my lips.
I was hoping that Andrew would be able to get some information out of the
fucker. If he was telling the truth, I needed to get ready. I would fucking kill
anyone who tried to take her away from me again.
I had other plans right now, though.
“You need to get ready, baby.” I said as I reluctantly stopped kissing her.
Emma furrowed her eyebrows. “For what?”
“Amy bugged the hell out of me and your brother until we agreed to let her
throw you a party tonight.” I said, rolling my eyes playfully.
Amy really was a handful.
Emma’s eyes widened, and she laughed.
“A party?” she asked. “Seriously? Why?”
“Amy said something about you being a badass and that we needed to
celebrate that.” I said, grinning.
“Well, she is not wrong.” Emma chuckled.
I smiled at her and pulled her in for another kiss.

I wanted more, but we didn’t have time. I would just have to wait until
tonight to bury myself in her again.

CHAPTER NINETY-SIX – The party
Emma POV
“Emma!” Amy screamed as soon as Logan and I arrived at the party.
Logan sighed and kissed the top of my head.
“I already miss you, baby.” Logan said, making me furrow my eyebrows and
look up at him.
Why would he miss me? I was right here.
Amy grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug.
“Oh, I missed you so much!” Amy screamed. “Come on, we need to get this
party started!”
She started pulling me away from Logan. I turned around, and he shook his
head.
“I knew that she would drag you away from me.” Logan said, chuckling.
I smiled at him and followed Amy toward the rest of the guests.
The party was held in the packhouse garden, and almost the entire pack was
there. I saw a lot of my classmates and people I used to train with.
Everybody was smiling at me, wanting to say hi and shake my hand. It was
very weird, but very nice at the same time. I stopped to speak to a few of my
classmates before Amy dragged me away again.
She pulled me toward Jake, who had a huge smile on his face.
“Emma!” Jake exclaimed as he pulled me into a tight hug. “You look
amazing, beautiful. I missed you.”

“I missed you too, Jake.” I said as I hugged him back.
I heard a growl behind me, and I let go of Jake.
“So he is jealous even after he marked you?” Jake sighed, glancing at the
mark on my neck.
I sighed and smiled. Logan had nothing to be jealous about.
“Don’t forget that gorgeous engagement ring.” Amy said as she lifted my
hand to get a better look at the ring.
“You are marrying him?” Jake asked quietly.
“Yes.” I said as a small smile spread across my face.
Jake frowned and tightened his jaw.
“Take this.” Amy said as she handed me a drink.
I took a small sip of some clear liquid.
“What’s this?” I asked, frowning.
“Gin tonic.” Amy grinned before rolling her eyes and looking behind me.
“I’m not going to get her drunk!” she shouted, making me raise my eyebrows
at her.
She sighed and looked back at me.
“Your mate and brother are worried that I’m going to get you drunk.” Amy
said, shaking her head. “Do they know that werewolves can’t get drunk that
easily?”
I looked behind me and saw Logan and Andrew frowning. I smiled at them
and looked back at my friends.
“So, what’s new with you, guys?” I asked as I took another sip of my drink.
“I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.”

“That’s because you haven’t.” Amy said. “That man of yours is holding a
monopole over you.”
I chuckled and shook my head. “It’s not his fault.”
“Yeah, right.” Amy rolled her eyes playfully, making me chuckle.
“So, anything new?” I repeated my earlier question.
“Not really.” Amy said, looking at Jake. “We’ve been working and hanging
out like usual.”
“I miss hanging out with you at the diner.” I said, smiling.
“Oh, we are definitely doing that tomorrow.” Amy said, grinning.
“If your mate lets you.” Jake added with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
“He will.” I said, giving him a small smile.
I didn’t know what else to do. I understood that Jake was jealous, but I didn’t
know how to deal with it. The best I could do is be understanding and not
give him a reason to attack Logan all the time.
“Amy, Jake.” I heard aunt Gloria’s voice behind me. “Do you mind if I take
my daughter-in-law away for a second?”
I turned around and saw Logan’s mom smiling at me. I smiled back and
hugged her tightly.
“Of course, Luna.” Jake said politely. “Just bring her back once you are done
talking to her. We missed her.”
Aunt Gloria smiled at Jake and took my hand in hers. I handed my drink to
Amy and followed behind aunt Gloria.
She started taking me a little further away from the crowd, but we had to keep
stopping so I could say hi to the members of our pack.

We finally made it to a bench and sat down.
“How are you, honey?” aunt Gloria asked me softly.
“Much better.” I said, smiling.
“I can’t even begin to explain to you how happy I am that you and Logan are
together.” she said, caressing my cheek. “He was never happier than he is
with you.”
I smiled and looked at my mate.
My core throbbed painfully. He was gorgeous. He was talking to my brother
and smiling. The dress pants he was wearing made his legs and butt look
amazing. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and I could see each and every
muscle on his lower arm. He was perfect, and I wanted him so much.
Stop looking at me like that, or I’m going to take you upstairs, bend you
over, and fuck you right now. Logan mind-linked me as he looked at me
across the backyard.
That sounds like something I would really want. I smirked as I mindlinked
him back.
He growled through the mind-link, and I saw him clench his fists tightly.
I looked back at aunt Gloria and saw her smiling brightly.
“I am happy that I am able to make him happy.” I said.
“I am happy that he pulled his head out of his ass and realized what an
amazing person you are.” aunt Gloria growled, making me chuckle.
“I’m glad he did that too.” I said, smiling at her.
“You are going to be an amazing Luna, you know that?” aunt Gloria said
softly as she pulled me into a hug. “Your parents would be so proud of you.”
My heart clenched painfully, and I looked at Andrew. I wished that was true.

I wished that I had made them proud.
“I am so proud of you too, Emma.” aunt Gloria said as she stopped hugging
me. “And I can’t wait until we start with our lessons. You will be amazing,
I’m sure of it.”
“I have an amazing teacher.” I said, smiling. “That’s the most important
thing.”
Aunt Gloria smiled at me and stood up. “Come on, let’s get you back to your
friends. I want you to have fun tonight because we have a lot to do tomorrow.
The Luna ceremony won’t plan itself.”
She winked at me, and I laughed.
I stood up and followed behind her. She gave me one last hug before walking
away to the packhouse.
I started walking back to my friends, and on my way there, I ran into Alpha
Drake.
“Emma!” he exclaimed as he pulled me into a hug.
“Alpha Drake.” I said, smiling. “It’s so nice to see you.”
“Please, Emma, it’s just Drake.” he said, as he let me go. “How are you?”
“Much better.” I said. “Thank you for saving me.”
“No need to thank me for that.” Drake said as he took my hand in his. “It was
an honor, Emma.”
We heard a growl, and he let go of my hand immediately. Logan really saw
everything, didn’t he?
“Well, I better go talk to your mate before he strangles me.” he said, making
me chuckle.
“Are you staying for a while?” I asked him.

“Probably for a few days.” he said, smiling.
“Great.” I smiled.
Alpha Drake winked at me and walked toward Logan, Andrew, and the rest
of their friends.
I walked back to Amy and Jake.
“Drink.” Amy said as she handed me my drink back. “It’s time to relax,
Emma.”
It really was, but I had something else on my mind. I wouldn’t mind relaxing
under Logan’s amazing body.
I pushed the thought away for now, smiled at my friend, and took another sip
of my drink.
I had so much fun. Amy, Jake, and I talked, laughed, and joked around all
night. Some of our other friends from school and training joined us, and I had
so much fun. I felt like a normal 18-year-old girl for the first time in a few
months.
But I couldn’t say that I wasn’t thrilled when I felt my mate wrap his arms
around my waist.
“I’m done sharing you.” he whispered, placing a small kiss on my neck. “I
want to take you upstairs and take that dress off. It’s been driving me crazy
all night long.”
I looked up at him and smiled.
“I can’t wait.” I said softly, making him growl lustfully.
He captured my lips with his, and I melted into his arms.
He was perfect, and I was the luckiest girl alive.
