Goddess, please no.
She was mine. Her moans and orgasms were mine.
“Daisy is okay.” Andrew said as he let my hand go. “She is getting bigger and bigger, but I can’t tell her that.”
Andrew chuckled, and I shook my head.
“You probably shouldn’t.” I mumbled.
Andrew smiled and took a deep breath.
“I love that woman so much.” he said, looking down at his hands. “I can’t believe that I found her. I was sure that I wouldn’t.”
“I knew that there was a perfect mate for you.” I said as I poured more whiskey into my glass. “You are a good man. You deserve everything.”
Andrew glanced at me worriedly.
“You are a good man too.” Andrew said. “You know that, right?”
I wasn’t a good man. I’ve done a lot of shit in my life, and the Goddess was making me pay for it.
You rejected your mate? Here is another one who wants her.
You were an idiot who thought that your mate wasn’t strong enough? Here, let’s get her kidnapped so you can find out exactly how strong she is.
I was a horrible man, and Emma had to suffer because of it.
Maybe I didn’t even deserve her. Maybe Nathan would be a better option for her.
‘Are you fucking insane?!’ Leon growled loudly. ‘Stop thinking like that or I am going to claw your eyes out!’
“I can practically hear your thoughts, Logan.” Andrew sighed. “You are a good man. You made mistakes, yes. We all made mistakes. But you apologized. You made things right. You became the best mate to my sister.”
I looked up at him and sighed. I couldn’t talk about that. I didn’t want to talk about that. I needed a distraction.
“Did you choose a name for my nephew?” I asked Andrew.
Andrew smiled and shook his head.
“Not yet.” he said. “We can’t decide between Mason and Michael.”
“Michael?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Michael was his father’s name.
“Daisy thinks that we should name him Michael to honor my dad.” Andrew sighed. “I like it, but I like Mason more.”
“I like Mason too.” I said, smiling at him. “Mason Carter, Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack.”
“He will be the best cousin to your kids.” Andrew said, smiling warmly at me.
I poured another glass of whiskey. I fucking needed it.
I didn’t want kids if I didn’t have Emma. The only children I would ever want would be hers.
“What time is it?” I asked as I poured whiskey down my throat.
“15 minutes left.” Andrew said.
I took a deep breath.
15 minutes.
I could do that. I could wait 15 minutes more.
Nobody mind-linked me so far, and I didn’t want to ask anyone anything. I could have mind-linked Liam and asked him how the dinner was going, but I was terrified that he would tell me something I didn’t want to hear.
“Do you want to go and wait outside?” Andrew asked me.
We were in a bar close to the restaurant.
“I have to finish the bottle first.” I mumbled, pouring myself another glass.
“Emma is going to kill me for letting you get drunk.” Andrew mumbled, making me roll my eyes.
“I’m not drunk.” I said.
“Maybe a little.” Andrew said.
I shrugged. Werewolves couldn’t get drunk, at least not like humans could. I wasn’t drunk, but I was tipsy. I wished I could get drunk. I wished that I could forget what was going on.
I took a deep breath and looked down at the glass in my hands.
12 more minutes.
Emma POV
15 more minutes.
I moved the food around the plate with my fork. I didn’t know what to talk about anymore.
We covered everything. We talked about favorite foods, favorite books, and favorite movies. We talked about our childhoods and our parents. We’ve covered everything and I had nothing else to ask him.
His favorite food was steak. He didn’t have a favorite book because he couldn’t decide between a couple of them. If he had to choose, he would probably pick The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. He didn’t have a favorite movie. He couldn’t choose between the three movies in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He loved Lord of the Rings.
I knew everything, and I didn’t need to know more.
I didn’t want to know more.
I wanted this to be over.
I wanted to see Logan.
“Can I ask you something, Emma?” Alpha Nathan asked, making me look up at him.
He wasn’t eating anymore. He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he was biting his lower lip.
“Sure.” I said, putting my fork down.
“If Logan was out of the picture, would you become my mate?” he asked.
My heart sped up. What did he mean by that? Would he do something to Logan? No! I couldn’t let him.
“I am not going to let you hurt him.” I said, clenching my fists and narrowing my eyes at him. “You are going to have to get through me to get to him!”
I felt anger growing inside me. I wasn’t going to let him hurt my mate. I was a fucking White Wolf. I would bite his head off if he tried to hurt Logan.
“Calm down, Emma.” Alpha Nathan said. “I didn’t mean it like that. I can’t kill him because I would lose you.”
I studied his face for a second.
“What did you mean then?” I asked, trying to calm down a little.
“If you met me before Logan, would you be with me right now?” he asked.
His question surprised me.
I didn’t know the answer to that. I couldn’t imagine my life without Logan. He is in all my memories. He is my mate. He is my best friend.
“Emma?” Alpha Nathan asked.
“I don’t know.” I mumbled. “I can’t imagine that.”
“If you were born in my pack, I would be the first one you met.” Alpha Nathan said. “You would love me. You would be with me.”
I took a deep breath and looked down at my plate.
“I wasn’t born in your pack, Nathan.” I said. “I was born here. I met Logan first.”
I looked back up at him.
“I can’t know what would happen if I met you first.” I said. “Maybe we would be together, but maybe we wouldn’t. We can’t know that for sure.”
Alpha Nathan clenched his fists. I could tell that he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted when Liam walked into the dining room.
He approached our table with a smile on his face.
“Was everything okay, Luna?” he asked me politely.
“Everything was great, Liam.” I said, smiling back at him. “Thank you so much.”
“Alpha Nathan?” Liam asked, looking at him.
“Everything was great.” Alpha Nathan said, forcing a smile on his face. “Thank you for this lovely meal.”
Liam bowed his head and picked up our plates.
I watched him as he left the dining room.
10 more minutes, and I would see Logan.
“I think we would be together.” Alpha Nathan said, making me look back at him. “If you didn’t meet Logan first, you and I would be together now.”
I stayed silent. I couldn’t even imagine that.
“It will happen, Emma.” Alpha Nathan continued as he placed his elbows on the table and leaned closer to me. “You will leave him and go to my pack with me.”
The anger came back. I narrowed my eyes at him.
“I knew that I promised not to talk about it, but we have 8 minutes left.” he said. “You will leave in 8 minutes. I might as well tell you what I’ve been dying to tell you since you walked through the door.”
I gritted my teeth.
“I don’t have to listen, Nathan.” I said as I started to get up. “We can finish the dinner 8 minutes early.”
Alpha Nathan stood up too.
“I want you to listen to me, Emma.” he said angrily. “You are my mate! You belong with me!”
