True Luna

Chapter 148

Book 2 The white light

Logan POV

My throat hurt from screaming. My body hurt from trying to break this shield around her.

I was so f*****g terrified.

“EMMA!” Andrew screamed again as he slammed his body against the glowing wall around her.

“Lower it down!” I shouted at her.

The fear almost made me throw up.

She didn’t shield herself from him. She shielded herself from us. There was no magic wall between her and him. He could get to her. We couldn’t.

I couldn't feel my heart. I couldn't feel my body. The only thing I felt was fear.

“If you won’t go willingly, I will take you forcefully.” he said as he grabbed her and pulled her to himself.

NO!

“EMMA!” I screamed, trying to break the shield again.

I watched as she slammed her body against his. I watched as she pushed him through the window. I

watched as the window broke and they both fell to the ground.

My heart wasn’t working. It wasn’t f*****g working!

“No!” Andrew screamed as he ran to the window.

The shield disappeared along with her.

I forced my body to move. I ran to the window and looked down.

They were on the ground. The fucker was on top of her, trying to pin her hands down.

I saw f*****g red. I was going to kill him!

I jumped through the window and landed close to them.

A blast threw me back. My body slammed against the wall.

f**k!

I looked at Emma.

She wasn’t on the ground anymore. She was standing up, facing the fucker. Her body was glowing. Electric sparks kept flying from her skin.

“Get everyone out of here!” Emma screamed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The shield around Emma was back. I couldn't get to her. I couldn’t help her.

She didn’t shield herself from him, though. Why? If she could shield herself from us, why didn’t she shield herself from him?

Protect yourself from him, Emma! I screamed through the mind-link. Lower the shield between us, and let me help you! Raise it in front of yourself!

No. She mind-linked me back. Something is telling me that I have to do this. I have to fight him, Logan. If we just throw him out of the pack, he will come back with an army or rogues.

My heart started beating painfully fast.

I need to do it. Emma continued. This is my battle. This is my war. I need to do it alone.

My stomach turned.

If he hurt her…

Someone ran toward me. It was Anna.

“She doesn’t know how to control it!” she yelled. “She could hurt someone!”

I looked around and saw our warriors and pack members gathering around us.

Andrew jumped down and started running toward the crowd, waving and screaming at them to move.

LEAVE! I screamed an order to everyone through the mind-link. NOW!

I kept my eyes on Emma.

Anna ran back toward the crowd. From the corner of my eye, I could see everyone backing away.

“Don’t make me hurt you, Nathan!” Emma yelled. “I will do it to protect my family and my pack!”

The fucker smirked.

“You don’t even know how to use your magic, Emma.” he said. “I can take a few weak electric shocks.”

I clenched my fists. I wanted to punch the fucker!

Andrew ran back toward me.

“Lower the shield, Emma!” Andrew screamed. “Let us help you!”

“She won’t do it.” I told him. “She said that this was her battle.”

Andrew looked at me, shocked. He slammed his fists against the glowing wall between us and her.

“Lower it, Emma!” he screamed again.

She ignored him completely.

My entire focus was on her. I watched every move she made. I was terrified that he was going to hurt her or take her away.

The fucker smirked and ran at her.

My heart stopped.

Nathan grabbed her and threw her on the floor.

I saw f*****g red!

Emma grabbed his arms and squeezed. Sparks started flying around them.

Nathan screamed, letting her go and falling to his side.

Emma jumped back up and looked down at him. He lifted his hand to grab her foot, but she was faster. She moved away from him again.

I watched as she raised her hand and spread her palm. Sparks flew from her skin, but they didn’t reach Nathan.

I was afraid of this! She still didn’t know how to control it! Her anger didn’t allow her to think rationally. Her anger didn’t allow her to control her magic.

She clenched her fists and tried again.

Those few seconds it took her to try again were enough for Nathan to stand back up and approach her.

He tried to punch her, but she ducked, and slammed her body against his. He didn’t fall down this time. He grabbed her, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. He tightened his arms around her, trying to stop her from moving.

He was going to take her away!

“Emma!” Andrew and I screamed at the same time.

She needed to lower the shield!

I watched as she slammed her elbow into his ribs, making him bend down and drop her. She fell to the floor, turned around, and kicked the back of his legs. He fell to his knees and tried to grab her again.

“You little b***h!” Nathan screamed at her.

I could see that she was focused on her magic. I could see that she tried to control it and use it.

Nathan grabbed her neck and pinned her to the ground. Emma grabbed his hand, and I saw her magic flying out.

Nathan flinched, but he didn’t let go.

“I told you that I could handle a weak little hit.” he mumbled, panting hard.

Anger flashed in Emma’s eyes, and she lifted her foot, trying to kick him. He avoided the hit, grabbed her leg, and pinned it down. I saw his hand tightening around her neck.

My heart was going to jump out of my chest.

I heard Andrew screaming, but I didn’t hear what he was saying. I couldn’t move.

“I should have killed that pathetic little b***h while I had the chance.” Nathan mumbled. “I should have killed everyone here and taken you with me!”

Emma growled. Something I’ve never seen before flashed in her eyes. Her body started glowing. Nathan’s grip on her neck loosened. She screamed.

A white light erupted from her body, blinding me and throwing me back.

My back hit the ground. I couldn't see anything. I couldn’t hear anything.

For a few seconds, I was completely unaware of everything going on around me.

They my hearing came back. My ears started ringing.

I shut my eyes tightly before opening them. Everything around me was a blur.

Where was Emma? What happened to Emma?

I forced myself to stand up. I looked around. The force of her magic threw us far away from her. Everything on the other side of her shield was burned to the ground. Her shield was now gone.

I saw her lying on the field. The fucker was on top of her.

She wasn’t moving. He wasn’t moving.

Why wasn’t she moving?!

I forced my legs to move. I needed to get to her.
