Emma POV
My body was in pain.
My soul was tearing apart.
My heart felt completely shattered.
I didn’t want another mate. I didn’t need another mate. I had Logan. I wanted Logan. I needed Logan. I loved Logan. Only him, Goddess. Only him.
I wanted to scream and cry. I wanted to burn the world to the ground.
The panic inside was increasing. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. Sothing was stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t even speak. Sothing was sitting on my chest. Sothing was holding my body in a vice-like grip.
I knew that Logan wouldn’t mark again. I knew it. I saw it in his eyes. He was afraid that he wasn’t the one.
But he was! He was! I knew it!
“Emma, love, no.” I heard my brother’s voice. “We need proof first.”
I didn’t need proof. I knew that he was the one.
I couldn’t imagine loving soone as much as I loved Logan. I couldn’t imagine wanting and needing soone as much as I wanted and needed Logan. I couldn’t imagine anyone else touching . I couldn’t imagine anyone else kissing .
Only him.
I wanted to tell them that I didn’t need proof, but I couldn’t speak.
Would I lose Logan? Would I lose the love of my life?
“She is in shock.” Logan said softly. “Can you give us so privacy?”
I could hear the pain in his voice. I could feel the fear he felt.
I felt soone kissing the top of my head.
I heard footsteps leaving the room.
I heard the front door close.
Logan cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips softly.
I was frozen. I couldn’t even kiss him back.
“I am yours, and you are mine.” Logan said, leaning his forehead on mine.
He never moved his hands from my face.
I was his. Completely his. Only his.
“Say it back, Emma.” he told .
I forced my lips to move. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“I am yours, and you are mine.” I said quietly.
My voice sounded broken.
“Listen to , baby.” Logan said, lifting his head and looking at . “We are going to get through this. You are not alone in this. I am with you every step of the way. I won’t leave you. I won’t give up on you. I will never stop loving you.”
“I love you.” I sobbed. “You are my mate.”
Logan took a deep breath and tightened his jaw.
“I know.” he said, caressing my cheeks with his thumbs. “I am yours, completely yours, Emma. Every part of my body and my soul belong to you. Cursed or not, I will never stop being yours.”
I sobbed and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“This is not a curse.” I said. “You are not a curse.”
I wanted him to sink his canines into . I wanted to show him that he was a Goddess’s gift to . I wanted to prove it to him.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling closer to him. He placed a kiss on his mark on my neck.
“You may never even et him.” he told , and I could hear the pain in his voice. “You may never even have to make the choice.”
Sothing was telling that I would et him. Sothing was telling that he was already looking for .
Anna wouldn’t have shown up out of the blue. She had her reasons.
“Anna wouldn’t have shown up if sothing hadn’t happened.” I said quietly, pressing myself closer to him. “She waited for four years. She could have waited longer. Sothing happened, Logan.”
Logan tensed up, and a growl escaped him. I could feel his pain. I could taste it on my tongue.
I let him go, and looked up at him.
“I can’t imagine loving soone the way I love you.” I told him. “I may feel a bond with him, but I will never love him. He will never have my heart because it’s yours.”
A tear fell on Logan’s cheek, and he kissed hard. My body tingled, and a shiver went up and down my spine.
I lted into Logan’s arms, trying to feel as much of his body as I could.
“Goddess, if I could just lock you up inside my body, I would.” Logan mumbled against my lips. “I wouldn’t let anyone see you. I wouldn’t let anyone touch you. You would be mine and mine only.”
I leaned my forehead against his and closed my eyes. I breathed in his scent, letting it calm down.
“You might not be able to lock inside your body, but I am yours, Logan.” I said. “Only yours. He won’t take from you. I won’t let him. I won’t let anyone take from you.”
Logan tangled his fingers in my hair and pressed his lips against mine again.
“Can you feel Eliza, baby?” Logan asked .
“No.” I said, shaking my head. “I think that she and Leon retreated. I can feel that they are together.”
Logan nodded and gave a small smile. It didn’t reach his eyes, though.
“They need it.” Logan said quietly.
I nodded. Eliza retreated as soon as Anna ntioned two mates. I knew that she heard the whole story, but she couldn’t stay with . She needed her mate. She needed Leon.
“How about we tell them to co back?” Logan mumbled, running his fingers through my hair. “Let’s hear what else Anna has to say. After that, I will take you ho, and I will show you how fucking much I love you.”
I nodded and kissed him softly.
I heard the front door open. Andrew, Drake, and Anna ca back inside.
Andrew approached and cupped my cheeks. He kissed my forehead and hugged .
“You are not alone in this, Emma.” Andrew said, his voice raspy. “You have , love. I will help you as much as I can.”
I looked up at him and gave him sothing that resembled a smile.
Andrew kissed my forehead again before he sat back down in the armchair.
I looked at Anna and took a deep breath.
“He is coming for , isn’t he?” I asked, making the guys growl.
“Yes.” Anna nodded, confirming my suspicions. “I can feel him coming. That’s why I ca here. I want to help you, Emma. I want to help you break the curse. I want to help you stay with your Goddess-given mate. I want you to live, Emma.”
A shiver went down my spine.
Would I really love that man so much that I wouldn’t be able to choose?
I couldn’t imagine it.
Logan was the love of my life. Logan was my Goddess-given mate. I was sure of it.
I would never love anyone as much as I loved Logan.
It just wasn’t possible.
