Chapter 118 – True Luna Book Free: Finding My True Mate (Emma)

I furrowed my eyebrows and r*bbed my chin.

“The second bond was created by the curse, right?” I said, making them nod. “There has to be a way to break it without marking Emma. There has to be a way to find out which one was created by magic.”

“There has to be a loophole.” my sister mumbled.

I nodded.

“Where are the books we found in Samuel’s cave?” Emma asked as she stood up.

“Locked up in a safe in our home.” Logan said.

Emma started pacing around.

“We need to give them to Anna.” Emma said. “She knows how to read them. Something about breaking the curse could be written in there.”

“She said that she already knows what’s written in those books.” Logan said, looking up at Emma.

She stopped pacing and looked at him.

“Samuel had those books for years.” Emma said. “I don’t believe that she remembers every single detail from those books.”

“I doubt that it’s written there anyway.” I mumbled, making Emma look at me.

“Yes, but she is a witch.” Emma said. “She knows magic. If she found out more about the curse and how it was created, she could figure out how to break it too.”

She was making some good points.

Logan furrowed his eyebrows, looked down at his lap, and sighed.

“I don’t really trust her yet.” Logan mumbled, clenching his fists.

“Why?” Emma asked. “She has done nothing wrong.”

Logan looked up at her and took a deep breath.

“What if she uses knowledge from the books to hurt you?” Logan asked, making me tense up. “What if there was something dangerous written in there?”

“What use do we have of them if they are just sitting in our safe?” Emma sighed as she started pacing again. “And why would she hurt me? She could have done it by now, but she didn’t.”

I completely understood Logan’s fear.

I was terrified that someone would hurt her. I was suspicious of everything and everyone. I still wasn’t sure about Anna either.

But Emma was right. Anna could have hurt her, but she didn’t. She could have kept quiet about Nathan, but she didn’t. She seemed like she genuinely wanted to help.

“Emma is right.” I said, making Logan look at me. “We need to give the books to Anna.”

Logan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tightened his jaw.

“We aren’t going to find anyone else who knows how to read them.” Emma said as she sat down next to Logan and placed her hand on his back. “We’ve been trying to do that for four years. Something that could help us could be written in there.”

She was right. She was completely right.

How the f**k did she manage to think more clearly than Logan and I even now when she was in distress?!

Logan looked at her and gave her a small nod.

“Okay.” he mumbled and looked at me. “I need you to guard Anna while she is reading them. You are the only one I trust.”

“Why do you want him to guard her?” Emma asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

“I don’t trust her, Emma.” Logan sighed, looking back at her. “I need someone I trust to make sure that she won’t steal the books. I need someone I trust to make sure that she doesn’t give the information she finds out to someone else. It’s the only way I will allow her to get near those books. It’s non-negotiable, Emma.”

I agreed with him. We needed to be careful.

“I agree.” I said, making them both look at me. “Better safe than sorry.”

Emma sighed and nodded. “Okay.”

Logan wr*pped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him.

I took a deep breath.

Everything would be okay. Everything would have to be okay.

I couldn’t lose my sister. Not again.

Emma POV

I felt a little bit better after I managed to convince Logan to give the books to Anna.

I didn’t like feeling powerless. I didn’t like the feeling of helplessness.

But that was exactly how I felt after Alpha Nathan left the room.

Helpless.

I had to remind myself that I wasn’t helpless. I was a Luna of the strongest pack. I was a woman who survived hell to be with the love of her life.

I wasn’t going to give all of that up.

It took a while to push the pain away, but once I did, I could start thinking clearly.

Andrew was right. There had to be a way other than my Goddess-given mate marking me. The curse was created by magic, and maybe another spell could undo it.

I had magic, didn’t I? It was new to me, and I didn’t really know how to use it, but I had it. I had Anna here. She could help me learn how to use my magic. I knew she said that I wouldn’t have my powers until my Goddess-given mate marks me, but I had to have some magic in me already. I could project it onto Logan. I did it once. It took everything I had, but I did it.

I could do it again.

But I would have to talk to Anna about teaching me some other day. I had to go back to my office.

I sat up straighter and ran my fi**gers through Logan’s hair.

“I need to go back to my office.” I said. “The materials for the kindergarten are finally on their way.”

It turned out that the rogues were responsible for the delay. I wondered if Alpha Nathan had something to do with that as well.

“You should stay here.” Andrew said. “I don’t want you to be alone.”

“I’m not going to be alone.” I said. “Amy is already waiting for me there.”

I had mind-linked her before, asking her to come to my office. I didn’t want to be alone, and I didn’t want to bother Logan and Andrew. They had work to do. Our lives couldn’t stop just because Alpha Nathan was here. Our pack members still deserved leaders who did their jobs.

“Don’t worry, Andrew.” Logan said. “I have eyes on him. He won’t be able to come near her. Our warriors have strict instructions to keep their eyes on him and follow him if he leaves the room. I told them to stop him if he tries to go near Emma and mind-link you or me immediately. He won’t be able to come near her.”

Andrew took a deep breath and looked at me.

“I will be okay.” I said, giving him a small smile. “I will mind-link you if I need you.”

“Okay.” Andrew nodded.

I turned toward my mate, placed a soft k**s on his l*ps, and stood up. My brother pulled me into a hug.

“We will be in here, okay, love?” my brother said softly.

I nodded, gave him a small smile, and walked out of Logan’s office.

I love you, baby. My mate mind-linked me as I closed his office door.

I love you too. I said, walking toward my office.

I took a deep breath. My body was in pain. My heart kept clenching painfully. I could still smell his scent all around me. I still felt the need to go to him.

I didn’t even check on Eliza yet. I knew that she talked to his wolf. I didn’t have the courage to hear what she had to say.

If there was a chance that she wanted Nathan and his wolf…

I pushed the thought away and opened my office door.

Amy was waiting for me inside.

But she wasn’t alone.

A very pissed-off Jake was in there. He was pacing around, biting his lower l*p nervously.

His eyes snapped to me as soon as I walked into my office.

“Is it true?!” he shouted as he started to approach me. “You have another mate?!”

Jake grabbed my shoulders and bent down to look at my face.

“Yes.” I said, trying to get out of his grip.

I glanced at Amy and narrowed my eyes at her.

Why did you tell him? I mind-linked her. You knew how he would react.

I am sorry. Amy sighed. He is my cousin. He is your best friend. I couldn’t keep it from him.

“Is he going to take you away?” Jake asked, making me look back at him.

“No, Jake.” I said. “I am not leaving Logan.”

Jake narrowed his eyes, and his grip on my shoulders tightened.

“Why the f**k is he here then?” Jake growled.

I sighed and bit my lower l*p.

“He wants me to be his mate, but I am not going to accept him.” I said, trying to remove Jake’s hands.
