Chapter 104 – True Luna Book Free: Finding My True Mate (Emma)

“What did I tell you?” he growled quietly.

I sighed but complied. She needed to gain their trust. I was sure that she would do it. I felt peaceful around her. She meant no harm.

I felt Logan’s eyes on me, and I felt his need to hold me. But he was standing close to the woman, and I knew that he wouldn’t move an inch so that he could stop her if she tried to hurt me.

“My name is Anna.” the old woman said. “I’m here to help.”

“Do you know something about me?” I asked her, and she gave me a small smile.

“I know everything about you, Emma.” she said softly.

My heart raced.

“How about you sit down and I tell you the legend of the White Wolf?” she asked, looking from me to Logan.

Logan growled at her, making me frown.

She could have already hurt me if she wanted to. She didn’t, and somehow I knew that she wouldn’t.

Drake sat down next to Anna and growled. “One wrong move, and you are dead. Remember that.”

Anna looked at Drake and smiled. “I know, Alpha Drake. No need to remind me.”

Logan stepped away from the woman and approached me. He pulled me from Andrew’s arms and buried his nose in my hair.

I could feel his erratic heartbeat, and a wave of pain washed over me.

“I am okay, Logan.” I said quietly, placing a k**s on his ch*st. “She won’t hurt me.”

Logan let me go and placed a small k**s on my l*ps. He pulled me toward a chair and made me sit on his lap. He wr*pped his arms around me as tightly as he could.

Andrew sat down on the armchair. He never moved his eyes from Anna.

“Talk.” Logan growled at her.

Anna took a deep breath and smiled at me.

“Samuel didn’t know anything about you.” Anna said. “The dark witches that worked for him were too young to remember anything. They were too young to interpret those books. The things they told Samuel were misinterpreted and mostly wrong.”

“But I do have those powers they mentioned.” I said, making Anna sigh.

“You do.” she nodded. “You are also very charismatic, kind, and understanding, and your people love you, right?”

“Yes.” Logan answered for me.

“That is a description of the first White Wolf.” Anna said. “She was a very charismatic, kind, and loving woman. She was full of understanding, and her pack members always came to her for help. The witches who worked for Samuel read that wrong. They thought that those things came with being the White Wolf. That isn’t your power, Emma. That was a description of the first White Wolf. You would still be those things even without your powers.”

I gulped and took a deep breath. Logan k**sed my temple and tightened his arms around me.

“There was only one White Wolf before you.” Anna continued. “She lived a long time ago, and we never thought that another would be born. We thought that the curse was broken when she died.”

“The curse?” my brother asked, his voice trembling.

Anna looked at him and nodded.

“The existence of the first White Wolf was really a curse made by a dark witch.” Anna said, looking back at me. “Back then there were only two packs of werewolves, but they were getting stronger. They were expanding, and it was only a matter of time before a third pack would form. The witches didn’t like that. They wanted the shifters to stop expanding. They wanted them gone.”

I shivered, and Logan tensed up.

Anna took a deep breath and leaned back on the couch.

“The witches thought long and hard about what to do.” Anna said. “They couldn’t just kill the wolves because that would make the Goddess angry. They didn’t want her rage. So they decided to use the wolves’ very own strength against them.”

Anna stopped talking and glanced at Logan.

“They decided to use the mate bond to create a war bet**en the two packs.” Anna said quietly, and I could see the sadness in her eyes.

My heart raced. My body tensed up. My mind shut down.

What did she mean by that? Why did she look so sad? How did the witches use the mate bond to inflict a war bet**en the two first packs?

“Explain.” Logan said, his voice trembling.

I could feel his fear. It was burning him. It was drowning him.

I was helpless. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t take away his fear.

Anna took a deep breath and looked back at me.

“The witches cursed the White Wolf with two true mates.” she said, making my heart stop beating.

　Logan POV

I heard her wrong.

I had to have heard her wrong.

There was no way, no f**king way, that there was another man who…

No.

I f**king heard her wrong.

“What?” Andrew growled, breaking the silence that followed after the woman’s last words.

The witch looked at Andrew and took a deep breath.

“The witches decided to curse the White Wolf with two true mates.” she said. “They knew that would create a war.”

She said it again. She said two true mates, didn’t she?

Did I hear that wrong? Was something wrong with my ears?

Leon was still. Too f**king still for my liking. I couldn’t even reach him.

“I don’t understand.” Emma mumbled, making me look at her.

She was mine. I was her true mate. She was my true mate. There wasn’t another man for her. There wasn’t another man who would take her from me.

“The witches wanted a war bet**en the packs.” Anna started explaining. “The wanted them to kill each other and stop expanding. They knew that the mate bond was the strongest bond bet**en two people, and they decided to use it as a weapon.”

My heart was going to give out.

No.

Please, Goddess, no.

“They chose a girl from one of the packs.” Anna continued. “She was beautiful and kind, and the people loved her. She was special as well because her wolf was pure white. She was only 17 at the time, but the witches knew that she would be the young Alpha’s mate. They decided to curse her. They made the Alpha of the other pack her true mate as well. They knew that both of them would want her, not just because she was their true mate, but because she was all of those things I mentioned earlier. They knew that she would be a wonderful Luna. They knew that she would be a powerful wolf.”

I gulped and tightened my arms around Emma. I couldn’t feel my body.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to tear the cabin apart.

But I couldn’t move. I couldn’t f**king move.

“The witches’ plan backfired.” Anna sighed. “That young woman was so kind and wonderful that she managed to stop the war. She managed to convince the two Alphas not to kill each other and innocent wolves in both packs. She kept the peace.”

Anna looked at me, and I saw sympathy in her eyes.

“But she couldn’t keep the peace in her heart and soul.” Anna said quietly. “Both Alphas wanted her. Of course they did, she was their true mate. She couldn’t be with them both, and she couldn’t choose. She loved them both. She wanted them both, but she couldn’t have them.”

Anna looked back at Emma and took a deep breath.

“The young woman took her own life.” she said quietly. “The two Alphas died in agonizing pain. The packs moved on from the tragedy. They continued expanding, and the witches didn’t get their wish. They only managed to ruin three young lives.”

My heart was going to jump out of my body.

I couldn’t comprehend what Anna told us. My mind couldn’t comprehend it. My heart and my soul didn’t want to accept it.

“Are you saying that I…” Emma spoke, her voice breaking.

“Yes, Emma.” Anna nodded. “You have two true mates.”

No.

NO!

f**k NO!

A loud growl escaped my frozen l*ps.

I wanted it to be louder. I wanted it to be stronger. But I couldn’t get it out. I couldn’t. I was f**king frozen.

No.

NO!

“I don’t want two mates.” Emma cried out. “I want Logan. I don’t…”

She stopped talking, trying to take a deep breath. I could feel her panic increasing.

My frozen body moved.

I cupped her cheeks and made her look at me.

“Breathe, Emma.” I said, trying to stop my voice from shaking. “Breathe, baby, come on.”

Her wide eyes were filled with tears. She placed her hands over mine and tried to take a deep breath again.

“Come on, my love.” I said softly, leaning my forehead on hers. “Breathe.”

“What can I do?” Emma mumbled, wr*pping her hands around my neck. “Can I reject him?”

“Yes.” Anna said, giving me hope. “But it won’t break the bond, you know that.”

My heart raced, and my stomach turned.
