Emma POVI 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 stoppi
Logan POVWhen 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 h
Emma POVI 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
Andrew POVLogan 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.
Emma POVI 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 ne
Logan POVI 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
Emma POVI 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
Logan POVI 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 kep
