“Just because Andrew didn’t get anything out of him doesn’t mean that he lied.” I growled as I stood up and approached her. “He said that there are others after you. I am not letting you out of the pack. You are safest here.”
Just the thought of something happening to her had me ready to burn the fucking world down.
I couldn’t fucking lose her.
“But what about the kids?” Emma argued. “What about the parents? They deserve a new kindergarten. The kids deserve a nice place to play and learn. I am a Luna. I should do better. I should…”
I stopped her from rambling by shutting her up with a kiss.
“You are an amazing Luna.” I said as I leaned my forehead on hers. “The people adore you. This isn’t your fault, baby.”
“I just wish that I could do more.” Emma sighed.
I caressed her cheek and kissed the tip of her nose.
We were interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Emma?” we heard Andrew’s voice.
I sighed, let my mate go, and walked to the door. I unlocked it and let Andrew inside.
As soon as he saw me, he rolled his eyes and sighed.
“I don’t even want to know why this door was locked.” Andrew mumbled as he walked past me.
I grinned and closed the door behind him.
“What’s wrong?” Andrew asked Emma.
“The material for the kindergarten is late again.” Emma sighed as she walked back to her desk.
I watched her ass as she walked, and I got hard again. That tight skirt and those heels made her ass look fucking perfect. Not that her ass wasn’t perfect without it. It just really let me see how fucking perfect it was.
I couldn’t believe that she was fucking mine.
“Again?” Andrew sighed. “What the hell is going on?”
“I wanted to go and see…” Emma spoke, but Andrew interrupted her immediately.
“You are not going anywhere.” he growled, making Emma roll her eyes.
She earned herself a nice spanking tonight. She kept rolling her eyes at us, and I wasn’t having it. Well, maybe I just wanted an excuse to touch that perfect little round thing.
“Logan already said no.” Emma said as she sat down at her desk.
“Good.” Andrew said sternly. “You are not leaving the pack.”
“It’s been four years.” Emma said again as she looked down at the papers on her desk. “If someone wanted to take me, they would have by now.”
I growled.
“You don’t know that, Emma.” Andrew sighed as he sat on the couch. “They could be waiting.”
“For what?” Emma asked, looking up at Andrew.
“We don’t know.” I answered instead of him. “We still don’t know much about you, Emma.”
We didn’t know shit really. We knew what Samuel told us. We found some old books and scrolls in his hideout, but all of them were written in an ancient language that we couldn’t decipher. We needed a witch, but we couldn’t find one. The ones who we did manage to contact, refused to help us.
It was like they were afraid of something.
Or someone.
“Don’t make me worry even more than I already do, Em.” Andrew sighed. “I’m getting old, and I can’t take the stress.”
“You are 29.” I sighed.
“You have a baby on the way.” Emma said at the same time. “You don’t think that will be stressful?”
Emma raised her eyebrow and smirked.
“Also, you are basically calling me old as well, and I don’t really like it.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
“You two really are perfect for each other.” Andrew mumbled. “You always gang up on innocent people like me.”
Emma and I snorted, making Andrew roll his eyes.
“Come on, old man.” I said, chuckling. “We have work to do.”
Andrew stood up and waited while I approached my wife and gave her a kiss.
“I will see you tonight, baby.” I said softly.
“I can’t wait.” Emma said, giving me a small smile.
I walked out of my mate’s office and back into mine.
I couldn’t wait to be alone with her tonight.
Andrew POV
Logan and I entered his office, and I sat down with a huff.
“How is Daisy?” Logan asked me as he sat down at his desk.
Daisy was my mate and Drake’s younger sister. I met her three years ago when she and Drake visited our pack. I couldn’t fucking believe that I finally found her. I adored her from the first moment I saw her, and I adored her even more now that she was carrying my pup.
I was a little bit worried at the beginning. I was afraid that Daisy would hurt Emma. After what Sienna had done, I didn’t really trust anyone.
But I was so fucking wrong because Daisy adored Emma. Drake told his sister so much about Emma that it felt like Daisy already knew her. They became friends fast, and they were inseparable. I was so fucking happy. I didn’t know what I would have done if Daisy had been a threat to my sister.
“She is very pregnant.” I said with a small smile on my face. “I really can’t wait until my pup is born. Her hormones are all over the place.”
“It’s nice to see what awaits me.” Logan chuckled, making me raise an eyebrow at him.
“Emma decided to have pups?” I asked.
“We didn’t talk about it lately.” Logan said. “But I’m thinking about bringing it up. I don’t want to pressure her, but I would like to knock her up, you know? I can already imagine her walking around with a round belly, carrying my pups.”
Logan smiled brightly, and I chuckled.
“It’s weird because she is my sister, but I know exactly what you mean.” I said, smiling. “It’s really something special to see the love of your life carrying your pup.”
It really was. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of Daisy. She was perfect. If it was up to me, she would always be pregnant.
“I can’t wait.” Logan sighed longingly. “I am ready to be a dad.”
“That’s one of us.” I mumbled. “I’m terrified.”
I really was. What if I hurt my pup? What if I screwed up? What if I was a terrible father?
“What are you talking about?” Logan exclaimed. “What do you have to be terrified of?”
“Screwing up.” I said. “What if I mess up my kid?”
Logan looked at me in disbelief.
“Are you kidding me, man?” Logan said. “You are already a dad to Emma. You didn’t mess her up. She is so fucking amazing, and you helped her become so fucking amazing.”
A small smile spread across my face. Emma really was my pup. I was so involved in her upbringing that it was sometimes hard for me to remember that I was her brother, not her dad. I didn’t mind when people said that I was her dad. I was honored to have a pup like her. I was so fucking proud of her.
“You were raising her even before your parents died.” Logan continued. “You really are her dad in a lot of ways.”
“I am proud to be her dad.” I said, smiling. “I am proud to be her brother. Hell, I would be proud if I was just her friend. She is amazing.”
“She is.” Logan said softly. “You helped her become amazing, so you don’t have anything to worry about. Your son will be amazing as well.”
Logan was right. He would be amazing. I would love him endlessly, and I would make sure that he would be happy and safe.
“Drake called.” Logan said, changing the subject. “He has some trouble with the rogues.”
My heart raced. Rogues? The same ones who were working for that fucker? The same ones who helped Samuel?
“I can already tell what you are thinking.” Logan sighed. “Drake doesn’t think that they are Samuel’s men. They don’t seem to be working as a group. They seem to be individuals.”
I let out a relieved breath.
“What kind of trouble is he having?” I asked, feeling the rock fall off my chest.
I kept waiting for something to go wrong. Four years had passed, but I still waited for someone to come and try to take my sister away from me. I still waited for Samuel’s words to come true.
“There are a lot of break-ins into the houses closer to the border.” Logan said. “Drake is increasing the patrol, but the rogues keep slipping past them.”
“Fuckers.” I mumbled. “Did they hurt anyone?”
