True Luna: The Final Battle (The White Wolf Series Book 6)

Logan’s POV

　　My whole body was screaming in pain.

　　Not just because Emma was in pain, but because I couldn’t hold her in my arms. I could see her and there was only a thin wall between us, but I couldn’t take her into my arms. I couldn’t feel her skin against mine. I couldn’t kiss her. I couldn’t do shit and it was driving me fucking insane.

　　The pain that Emma was feeling suddenly changed. It wasn’t as intense anymore. It was dull and bearable.

　　My heart raced. Did that mean that she would wake up? Did it mean that I wasn’t going to lose her?

　　I let my son go and approached the window.

　　“Emma, baby, please,” I cried out as I tried to focus on her chest.

　　I swear I could see it moving a little.

　　“Emma!” I cried out again. “Please, baby, please.”

　　I couldn’t lose her. I just couldn’t. She couldn’t leave me like that. Not after everything we’ve been through. Not after I fought against everyone and everything to have her. Not after spending so many beautiful years together. Not after having two beautiful children together. She couldn’t leave me after all that.

　　“Come on, Emma,” Andrew said, growling quietly. “Fight, Em, come on.”

　　Come back to me, my love. I mind-linked her. Please, Emma, don’t leave me. You can’t leave me. I will die without you. My life doesn’t make sense without you. I am nothing without you, Emma. Absolutely nothing.

　　I swallowed the lump in my throat and closed my eyes.

　　You made me the man I am today. I continued talking to her through the mind-link. You taught me how to love. You pulled me out of the darkness. You turned me into a great Alpha. You made me a great father. I owe you my entire life and I don’t want to live it without you. I am nothing without you, my love. Nothing.

　　My heart was breaking and I just wanted her. I wanted my mate. I needed my mate.

　　That’s not true. I heard her voice in my head and my heart stopped beating. You are everything, Logan. You are my everything.

　　She turned her head to the right and groaned.

　　“Mom!”

　　“Emma!”

　　I heard screams around me, but I was frozen. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t speak. All I could do was stare at her and watch as she raised her head. Her beautiful eyes met mine and I was sure that I would pass out.

　　“What the hell did you do, Emma?!” Andrew screamed at her. “Open the door and let us in!”

　　Emma kept her eyes on mine. I knew that she wouldn’t listen to Andrew. I shook my head a little and I felt a tear fall on my cheek.

　　She wasn’t going to get out of that room.

　　“Emma!” Andrew shouted, slamming his fist against the glass.

　　“Open the door, Mom!” Alex said, his voice laced with panic.

　　Why, baby? I mind-linked her.

　　I couldn’t let our child suffer, Logan. She said. I couldn’t watch her go through that pain again. I will deal with it myself.

　　“Mom!” Alex screamed at her again.

　　I love you. She said. I will be with you soon. I promise.

　　She looked away from me and I closed my eyes.

　　“I can’t open the door,” Emma said. “I don’t have control over the magic in the room anymore.”

　　I opened my eyes and watched as she slowly stood up. She looked tired. She looked like she was in pain.

　　“Who does?!” Andrew shouted.

　　I already knew the answer to that question. She would never give the power over to Sophia. Emma knew that Sophia would open those doors immediately.

　　I looked behind my shoulder at Anna who was leaning against the wall and looking at Emma.

　　She had the power.

　　Andrew figured it out a second later. He turned toward Anna abruptly.

　　“Open the door!” he yelled, but Anna didn’t even flinch.

　　She ignored him completely, keeping her eyes on Emma.

　　“Open the door, Anna!” Andrew yelled again.

　　“She won’t be doing that, Andrew,” Emma said, making Andrew turn back around. “I am now as dangerous as Sophia was. She can’t open those doors. She can’t let me out.”

　　Andrew clenched his fists and tightened his jaw.

　　“Are you kidding me?!” he exclaimed. “You almost died! I can see that you are still in pain! You need help!”

　　Andrew turned back to look at Anna.

　　“Open the door, Anna!” he screamed as he pointed at the door. “Now!”

　　I looked back at my mate, trying to ignore Andrew’s screams. She was so close, but so far away.

　　I am okay, Logan. She mind-linked me. My body just needed a few moments to adjust to the darkness. I am okay.

　　I felt your soul being ripped from mine. I told her. I felt you leaving me, Emma. I will never forget that pain. I can’t lose you. Don’t leave me.

　　A tear fell on her cheek. She approached the window and placed her palm on it. I lifted my hand and placed my palm on the glass as well. I wished that I could just break it and touch her.

　　“I am sorry,” she whispered quietly. “I am so sorry, my love. I won’t leave you. I will find a way to fight it. I promise.”

　　Alex came to stand next to me. Emma looked at him and smiled.

　　“Mom,” Alex mumbled quietly, his voice laced with pain.

　　“Hi, my baby,” Emma said softly. “I am okay. I promise. I will be back soon. I need you to take care of Fia, okay? She will need you.”

　　Emma looked at Mason who was standing close to Alex. She smiled at him and Mason shook his head. He looked down and took a deep breath.

　　“I will be okay, Mason,” Emma said. “I will be out of here soon.”

　　“Tell her to open the door, Emma!” Andrew exclaimed.

　　I hadn’t even realized that he was still trying to convince Anna to open the door and let Emma out.

　　Emma took a deep breath and looked at her brother. She was about to tell him something when we were interrupted by footsteps running toward us.

　　“Mom!” I heard Sophia scream loudly.

　　She and Hunter barged in a few seconds later.

　　“No!” Sophia screamed when she saw Emma.

　　My heart broke hearing the pain in her voice and I wished that there was something I could do to just take away all the pain my family felt.
