Chapter 3

Emma POV

Emma hung up the phone. She was hoping the phone call from Logan would have better news. She didn’t want to wait until her and Dylan’s 20th birthday to be with Logan. It was nine months away, that was too long. She paced back and forth in front of her bed, it was a nervous habit of hers, but she didn’t have any other way to work out her frustrations, so pacing would have to do. Logan said that he would try to talk to Dylan and see if there was anything that he could do to help. That wasn’t likely.

Her phone chimed, it was Logan. She couldn’t help but smile, and she instantly felt calm. She sat down on the bed and opened the message. She was still having a little trouble trying to navigate working the phone, but she would practice with it.

Get some sleep sweetheart. Don’t stress. I will figure things out. Goodnight, sweet dreams.

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

She plugged the phone up to the charger. She hoped that they could be together soon. She liked how she felt around him, the sparks that she felt every time he touched her, and the way she felt when he kissed her. Their mate bond was already so strong and she was afraid if they were apart too long, their bond would weaken. She wanted to talk to Dylan herself, but she trusted in Logan and that he would figure something out. Nine months seemed like an eternity.

She laid down on her bed and put her head on her pillow, she opened the messages on her phone and opened the picture Logan sent her. She smiled and stared at his picture until her eyes got too heavy to keep open and she drifted off to sleep.

Logan POV

Logan was sitting in his office when Nathan came through the door.

“Ok, now tell me what is going on.” Nathan said.

Logan sighed, trying to figure out the best way to explain the situation.

“I found my mate.” Logan started.

“Really! That’s awesome dude!” Nathan interrupted him before he could finish.

“Yeah, it is. She is absolutely beautiful. She is also Alpha David and Luna Maggie’s daughter.” said Logan.

“I didn’t know they had a daughter.” Nathan replied.

“Nobody does. They have kept her hidden on the fourth floor of their house. She isn’t allowed off her floor. They don’t want anyone to know she exists.”

“Why not?” Nathan asked.

“Because she is Dylan’s twin, and she was born five minutes before Dylan. She is the true Alpha heir, but Alpha David wants Dylan to be Alpha.”

“Wow. To keep her locked up like that just so she can’t be Alpha, that’s messed up.”

“Yeah, it is. Now I have to find a way to bring her home.”

“Why didn’t you just bring her home with you tonight?” Nathan asked.

“She is terrified of her father finding out that she was seen and that somebody knows about her now. She is scared of how pissed off he is going to be and that his plans for Dylan to take over will be ruined. She wanted to wait until Dylan officially took over as Alpha. Once he takes over, she will be free to go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. We thought it would be sooner than their birthday, but now it’s going to be nine months away unless we can figure something else out.” Logan explains.

Nathan runs his fingers through his blonde hair and just shakes his head, trying to help his Alpha think of a solution to bring his Luna home. He walks over to the chair in front of Logan’s desk and sits down.

“Well, I say we just go get her. I mean technically it doesn’t even matter if she was born first and was supposed to be the Alpha or not. She is your mate, and since apparently neither one of you rejected the mate bond, she is our Luna, not their Alpha.” Nathan says proudly, as if he was the genius that solved the problem at hand.

“I thought of that too, and I told Emma that. But she is still scared of her father and what he is going to do when he finds out. The fact that she is so scared of him really worries me. I won’t do anything that she is uncomfortable with, I don’t want her stressed out and scared. You should have seen how panicked she got when I told her I was going to have you bring the charger up. I’m hoping to talk to Dylan alone and maybe come up with a solution. By the way Emma talks, he doesn’t like the fact she is kept locked up either.” Logan says.

“Do you really think that he will help? What if he just goes back and tells their dad?”

“Emma trusts him so therefore I do too.”

“Ok boss, whatever you want to do, I am on board with.” Nathan says. “But I still say we go get her and bring her home, and if Alpha David tries anything to hurt her, he will have to go through all of us to get to her.”

“Yes, he would, but I also don’t want to start a war. She loves her family and doesn’t want that. Besides, the Shadow Moon pack is the second largest pack and our strongest ally. I don’t want to jeopardize that relationship.”

Nathan nods his head and walks out of the office. Logan follows him out after a few minutes and headed up to his room. His house was a little bigger than Alpha David’s. Logan’s house had five floors. His room and a small office comprised the second floor, but his main office, which had a small library, was on the first floor. His Beta had the third floor, and his Gamma had the fourth floor. Staff lived on the first floor. The fifth floor was used for guests.

He reached the second-floor landing and looked around. There were several rooms on this floor. His room which was the main master bedroom with a huge master bathroom, a room fit for an Alpha and his Luna. There was a smaller office which will be the Luna’s office since his office was on the main floor. There were also several other bedrooms which would be for their kids, and a couple of bathrooms.  The upper floors were pretty much set up the same way.

He walked in his room and went over to a little bar area he had set up and grabbed a bottle of whisky and poured some into a glass. He went over to the bed and sat down and opened the picture of his mate, his beautiful Luna. He couldn’t wait to get her home. And he was not going to wait nine months to have her in his home and in his bed. He drank the whiskey in one swallow and sat the glass down on the table beside the bed. He stripped off his clothes and threw them in a pile on the floor and crawled under the covers and slipped off to sleep.
