Emma POV
My wish didn’t co true.
I kept tossing and turning, and I couldn’t sleep. Pain was burning through , and I couldn’t stop it.
I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I look even paler than usual. My eyes are red and puffy from crying.
I sighed and put on my sneakers. I had to hurry up, or I would be late for my training session. Today was the day I would train with Jake as well. But I didn’t think that I would be able to do that. I would just have to co up with an excuse.
I walked downstairs to the kitchen to grab a glass of water before going to the training grounds.
Sienna was sitting at the table. Alone.
Shit.
She looked up at with a murderous look on her face. Why does she hate so much?
“If you think that you will be taking Logan away from , you are mistaken.” she growled.
I sighed and walked to the kitchen cabinet. I took a glass and filled it with water.
“Did you hear , bitch?” she asked.
I turned around and sipped my water. “I did.”
“What did I tell you about disrespecting your Luna?” she asked and got up.
“I already told you.” I said, looking right into her eyes. “You are not my Luna.”
She walked over to . She was furious. She grabbed my wrist, digging her nails into my skin.
“Listen to , you little bitch.” she said quietly. “Logan is mine. You will not take him away from . Do you understand? I will kill you. And that is a promise.”
I forcefully pulled my arm away from her grip and gave myself deep scratches from her nails. I took a few steps back from her. I was furious. She has been nothing but an to my whole life. And now she has started to be physically abusive, threatening to kill . I was done.
“You are such a fucking bitch, Sienna.” I said loudly.
At that mont, I heard the front door open and my na being called.
“Emma?!” my brother yelled.
Sienna gave an evil smirk and made the saddest face she could.
My brother and Logan walked into the kitchen. Both were glaring at . Both were angry.
“Emma?” my brother said strictly. “What is going on?”
I was looking at him wide-eyed. I didn’t know what to say. I knew that they wouldn’t believe . They obviously didn’t hear what Sienna said. They would be looking at her with that expression, not . At least I hoped they would.
“I was just trying to talk to her about this whole mate thing.” Sienna said with a teary voice. “Apologize. Make sure there is no bad blood between us. We are sisters. I guess she is taking this really hard.”
She was such a good liar. I was actually impressed.
I stared at her without saying a word. I didn’t even know what to say.
“Emma, I know this is hard for you.” Logan said. “But you can’t talk to your future Luna like that.”
I averted my gaze to him. When my eyes t his, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I felt tears coming and I was not giving them the satisfaction of seeing break in front of them.
I imdiately turned around and ran through the back door.
“Emma!” my brother yelled after .
“It is okay, Andrew. Let her go.” Sienna said, faking sadness. “She just needs a minute to calm down.”
My tears ran down my cheeks and I didn’t even try to stop them. She was slowly taking everything from . My brother, my mate, my life. And nobody saw it. Nobody believed . I suddenly wished for her to fulfill her promise of killing . That would be easier than living with this pain.
I arrived at the training grounds just in ti for my session. I was in no shape to train. I haven’t slept and haven’t eaten anything since my birthday, two days ago. But I needed it. I needed the physical pain.
After half an hour of training, my ribs got broken during a sparing with another she-wolf, Katie.
I took a sharp breath and fell on my knees.
“Oh, my Goddess, Emma!” Katie yelled and fell on her knees beside . “Are you okay? I am sorry!”
“It is okay, Katie.” I said, taking a few deep breaths. “It is my fault. I got distracted.”
Amy and Jake ca running over to .
“Emmy!” Amy yelled. “What happened?”
“I think her ribs are broken.” Katie said while helping Amy pull back on my feet.
I winced in pain and before I knew it, two strong arms picked up bridal style.
“Jake, I am fine. You don’t have to carry .” I protested.
“Stop it, Emma.” he growled. “I am not letting you walk around with broken ribs.”
I quieted down and let him carry to the pack doctor’s office. Amy and Katie were walking behind us, both eyeing with concern.
When we arrived, Jake placed down on the bed as gently as he could.
The nurse told us that the doctor would be in soon and left. She gave a warm smile on her way out.
“Katie, would you mind waiting outside?” Jake asked her. “There is sothing Amy and I need to talk to Emma about.”
“Of course.” she said and smiled.
She walked outside and closed the door.
I looked at Jake. He was looking at like a father looks at his child when a child ssed up pretty badly.
“What the hell happened out there, Emma?” he growled.
I sighed and winced. “I was tired. I lost my focus.”
“You never lose focus on a battlefield, Emma.” he growled again. “Never!”
“Jake, calm down.” Amy interfered. “Let her explain.”
She looked at with a questioning look on her face. They were not letting this go, were they?
I sighed. “I haven’t slept since my birthday, okay? I was tired, and she caught off guard.”
Jake growled loudly. “You should have never stepped foot on that training ground today! This could have ended up so much worse!”
“I am sorry, Jake.” I said quietly, staring down at my hands.
He started pacing the room, running his hand through his hair. He was mad at . But it was touching to see how much he cared about .
Amy ignored his outburst and took my hand in hers.
“How about you co over to my house tonight?” Amy asked, smiling down at . “We could order a pizza, watch a movie, maybe even sleep.”
She winked at , and I laughed before wincing. Shit. Laughing hurt. Well, everything hurt when your ribs are broken.
I really wanted to go. I needed a break from everything going on at my house. I didn’t want to wake up tomorrow and see Sienna. Especially now that I was a much slower target. And maybe I would be able to get so sleep after a relaxing night with my friend.
Before I could answer, the door flung open and my brother and Logan ran inside.
