True Luna

True Luna by Tessa Lilly (The Unknown Magic)

The White Wolf Series Book 4 —- CHAPTER NINE — He Isn't His Father

(Emma's POV)

| was in complete shock.

Alpha Nathan’s son was my daughter’s mate?! Was the Goddess messing with us?

“Where is he taking her?!” Alpha Hunter screamed, trying to get out of Logan’s hold. “She is mine! Bring her back!” Logan growled.

| looked around and saw our numerous guests staring at us. | smiled at them and grabbed my mate’s arm. Take him to the kitchen. | mind-linked him. We can't do this here.

Logan glanced around us and growled quietly. He started pulling Alpha Hunter away.

“What the f*uck are you doing?!” Alpha Hunter growled. “Let me go to her!”

My heart skipped a beat. There had to be a misunderstanding.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mom? My daughter mind-linked me. What is going on?

Don’t worry, honey. | said, trying to sound as calm as possible. | will talk to your dad. He is just surprised, that’s all. But why? She asked and | could hear the desperation in her voice. Who is

he, mom?

My heart broke for my little girl. She didn’t deserve this.

He is Alpha Hunter. | said. He is Alpha Nathan’s son.

She didn’t mind-link me back and | focused on my mate and Alpha Hunter.

We were already in the kitchen.

Logan let go of Alpha Hunter and growled.

“Alpha Logan, | will fight you to get to her,” Alpha Hunter growled. “She is mine. You can’t forbid me to see her. You can’t take her from me. Why would you even do that?”

Alpha Hunter was shaking. | could tell that he was holding back from attacking my mate.

Logan took a step closer to him, but | grabbed his arm and stopped him. “Do you know who she is, Alpha Hunter?” | asked, making him look at me. “Does it matter?” Alpha Hunter growled. “She is my mate. | don’t care who she is. | don’t care about her position in the pack.”

| took a deep breath and tightened my hand around Logan’s arm. My mate was shaking. | could feel the anger radiating off him. “She is our daughter, Alpha Hunter,” | said, trying to stop my voice from trembling.

Alpha Hunter’s eyes widened. He looked from me to Logan. | could see his body tense up even more, but he took a small step back. He looked back at me and | could see the fear in his eyes.

“Your daughter?” he mumbled quietly.

“Yes,” | nodded.

Alpha Hunter closed his eyes and tightened his jaw. “| don’t care about the past,” he said. “She is mine.”

“Well, | ftucking care!” Logan exclaimed angrily. “| am not letting my daughter be with a man whose father almost destroyed my family!”

Alpha Hunter opened his eyes abruptly. He growled and took a step closer to us.

“My dad made a mistake,” Alpha Hunter said angrily. “He was cursed. He would never hurt anyone. He is a good man.”

Logan growled loudly. “A good man?! He tried to kill a pregnant woman!” “Logan,” | called him, pulling him closer to me. “Stop.” He looked at me angrily. “Don’t tell me that you are okay with this!”

| looked at Alpha Hunter and took a deep breath. | wasn’t okay with it, but the Goddess had to have a reason for creating a mate bond between them. “Il am not okay with it, but we can’t blame Alpha Hunter for his father’s mistakes,” | said, looking back at my mate. “He isn’t his father.”

Logan narrowed his eyes and tightened his jaw.

“Emma...,” he spoke sternly, but | interrupted him.

“We can’t separate them,” | said softly. “It wouldn’t be okay. We need to let them decide. We need to let Sophia decide.” Logan studied my face for a second before he closed his eyes and sighed. His body relaxed a little.

Remember everything we taught our kids about mates. | mind-linked him. We can’t go against it, Logan. It wouldn’t be fair.

Both Logan and | decided that we would teach our kids about the value of the mate bond. We always told them that a mate bond was a gift from the Goddess which should be protected and cherished. Logan was the one who insisted on us doing so. He wanted to correct his own mistake.

Logan opened his eyes and looked at Hunter.

“lam against this,” Logan said quietly. “My daughter shouldn’t have been mated to you. But my Luna is right. | will let her decide.”

Alpha Hunter clenched his fists. | could see anger flash in his eyes.

| leaned in and placed a small k*iss on Logan’s c*hest. | was so proud of him. | could feel his anger and pain. | could feel his fear. | had the same emotions he did. | was angry. | was scared. | was in pain. | knew how hard it was for him to put aside those emotions. | knew how hard it was for him to say those words.

“lam not going to hurt her,” Alpha Hunter said angrily. “She is my mate. My father taught me to cherish the Goddess’ gift and that’s what | will do.”

| glanced at Logan. He wasn’t convinced.

“I need to see her,” Alpha Hunter said and | could hear the pain in his voice. “Wait here for a second,” | told him as | pulled Logan toward the other room.

| needed to calm him down a little before we took Alpha Hunter to see Sophie.

As soon as the door closed behind us, Logan pulled me to him and k*issed me. | tangled my f*ingers into his hair and k*issed him back.

“Why her?” Logan mumbled as he leaned his forehead on mine.

“| don’t know,” | sighed as | caressed his cheek. “The Goddess had to have a reason.”

Logan sighed and lifted his head. He placed another small k*iss on my I‘ips. “I love you,” he mumbled.

“| know,” | said, smiling back at him. “Let’s get this over with.”

Logan grunted and took my hand in his. We walked back to the kitchen.

“We will let you meet our daughter, Alpha Hunter,” Logan said. “One wrong move and you are out of my pack.” Alpha Hunter tightened his jaw and nodded.

| gave him a small smile as | started walking out of the kitchen and pulling Logan behind me.

Where are you? | mind-linked my son.

Dad's office. He responded immediately. What is going on?

| didn’t answer his question. | knew how he would react if he knew that we were bringing Alpha Hunter with us.
