Chapter 124 – True Luna Book Free: Finding My True Mate (Emma)

My eyes fell on her brother and Alpha Logan. They were sitting on the couch, glaring at me.

I was a fool to think that I would get a chance to talk to her alone.

I was just going to have to wait until dinner.

I approached her desk and sat down on the chair.

“Did you consider my proposal, Emma?” I asked, giving her a small smile.

She glanced at her brother and Logan.

“I did.” she said, looking back at me. “I will have dinner with you, Alpha Nathan.”

The excitement exploded inside of me. I knew it!

“I knew that you would say yes, Emma.” I told her as a huge smile spread across my face.

“Let me finish, Alpha Nathan.” Emma sighed. “I will have dinner with you, but I have rules of my own.”

I frowned. What rules?

Emma took a deep breath and leaned back in her chair.

“Four warriors will come with me.” she began explaining her rules to me. “They will wait outside of the restaurant. I won’t go anywhere with you after the dinner. Logan will pick me up in front of the restaurant. If at any point you start talking about me leaving my mate, I will leave the dinner immediately.”

I tightened my jaw and clenched my fists.

I wasn’t happy with those rules. Not at all.

“You don’t trust me, Emma?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

“I don’t know you, Alpha Nathan.” Emma said. “All I really know about you is that you are working with rogues. You can’t expect me to trust you.”

I tightened my jaw to the point of breaking.

She would have a lot of time to get to know me.

“You will have a lifetime to get to know me, Emma.” I said, making Logan and Andrew growl.

She didn’t respond.

I clenched my fists. I would agree to the rules, but I had another one of my own.

“I have one more rule of my own, Emma.” I said, trying to stay calm.

It was hard. I was angry. So fucking angry. She didn’t trust me.

Emma gulped. I could feel her nervousness.

“Okay.” she said after a few moments of silence. “What rule?”

“You can’t be formal with me during the dinner.” I said. “You can’t call me Alpha.”

I wasn’t going to let her keep it up. I was Nathan to her. Not Alpha. That stupid formality was only keeping us at a distance. I didn’t like it. I didn’t want it. I needed to get rid of it.

“Okay.” Emma said and gave me a small nod.

I smiled at her and my heart raced.

“I can’t wait.” I said as excitement washed over me. “I’m sure that this dinner will be good for us, Emma. I can’t wait to get to know you better.”

Logan growled, but I ignored him. I didn’t give a fuck about him and his growls. She was mine and I wasn’t going to pretend like I didn’t want her. I wanted her and I was going to get her. She would become mine, whether he liked it or not.

“Are you okay with having dinner tonight?” Emma asked me.

My smile grew.

“Of course.” I said. “The sooner, the better.”

“Okay, Alpha Nathan.” Emma said, making me a little annoyed. “I will see you tonight at 7 pm.”

She looked down at her desk, picked up a pen, and started looking through some papers.

“I have work to do, Alpha Nathan.” she said, making the anger inside me grow.

“I told you not to call me Alpha.” I said, trying to remain calm.

“We are not at dinner yet, Alpha Nathan.” she said, keeping her eyes on the papers in front of her.

I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw. She was driving me crazy.

I needed to leave before I she saw my annoyance.

I stood up, turned around, and left her office completely ignoring Logan and Andrew.

I didn’t give a shit about them. They didn’t matter.

I would get her alone tonight.

Fucking finally.

Logan POV

It was hard for me to describe what I was feeling.

Anger. I really fucking wanted to kill someone. I wanted to punch and scream until I ran out of air.

Pain. My mate was going to dinner with another man. My body hurt. My soul hurt. My heart was in fucking pieces.

Sadness. My wife was going out with another man. I really fucking wanted to cry.

Frustration. I was helpless. There wasn’t anything I could have done.

Fear. What if she liked him more? What if she decided that she wanted him more than me?

Leon had a whole range of his own emotions, and that wasn’t helpful. I constantly had to keep him from taking over.

“I can feel your emotions, Logan.” Emma said as she pulled her jeans up. “You don’t have to be afraid.”

I gulped and clenched my fists.

Of course I had to be afraid. What if she saw him in another light after tonight? What if he managed to take her away from me? What if all of our efforts wouldn’t be enough to stop him from taking her? What if she wanted to leave with him?

‘NO!’ Leon growled loudly.

I took a deep breath and tried to ignore him.

Emma pulled a sweater over her head and approached me.

She sat down in my lap and ran her fingers through my hair. Her touch and her scent relaxed me immediately.

“I can’t read your thoughts, but I’m pretty sure that I know what you are thinking right now.” Emma said softly. “I’m not going to leave you. I love you.”

I gulped and studied her face for a second.

“He could be a good man.” I mumbled. “He could be worthy.”

Emma sighed and shook her head.

“Eliza doesn’t like him.” Emma said, making the curiosity inside me grow. “She likes his wolf, but not Nathan.”

Leon perked his ears.

‘Did Eliza tell you about this?’ I asked him.

‘No.’ he said, focusing on Emma.

“She doesn’t like him?” I mumbled.

“No.” Emma confirmed, shaking her head. “She said that Nathan is reckless and impulsive. She doesn’t blame Noel, though. She said that Noel is a good wolf.”

Of course Eliza didn’t blame Nathan’s wolf. I completely understood that. I rarely blamed wolves for their humans’ mistakes. I rarely thought that a wolf was as bad as his human was.

“That’s a good thing.” I mumbled as I tightened my arms around Emma.

“Yes.” Emma said, smiling at me. “Eliza thinks that you are our Goddess-given mate.”

A small wave of relief washed over me. I gave her a small smile, and she pressed her lips against mine.

I savored the taste of her lips. It was the best fucking thing in the world.

“I love you.” she mumbled against my lips. “You don’t have to be afraid.”

I took a deep breath and leaned my forehead against hers.

“I think that I’m more afraid that he will do something to you.” I mumbled, feeling my broken heart break even more.

“I can defend myself.” Emma said as she caressed my cheek. “Our warriors will be outside. Nothing bad will happen. You will pick me up in an hour, and we will come back home.”

I couldn’t fucking wait for that moment.

“Think of it as a business dinner.” Emma said as she lifted her head and smiled at me. “I’m a Luna. I can go on business dinners.”

I chuckled and pressed my lips against hers again.

I couldn’t think of it as anything else than that fucker trying to take her from me. But I appreciated her trying to make it easier for me.

“Come on.” Emma said as she stood up and took her hand in mine. “I’m sure that my brother has a lot to tell me before I go.”

I smiled and nodded.

Andrew was freaking out. I was sure that he would give her a million instructions on what to do and what not to do.

Emma pulled me up, and we walked to the kitchen together.

Andrew was pacing around nervously. He kept scratching his beard. His muscles were clenched, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

Daisy and Amy were sitting at our kitchen island and sipping tea.
