True Luna by Tessa Lilly

Chapter 49 The White Wolf

Logan POV

When one of my patrol guards mind- linked Andrew and me and told us that he saw a white wolf running through the forest, my heart almost gave out.

I kept picturing someone taking her away from me again. I was so afraid she would disappear again.

Andrew was a wreck. He almost destroyed the whole house when we found her empty bed.

We had no choice. We had to tell her the

truth.

Emma came back downstairs wearing a dry pair of sweatpants and a simple long-sleeved black shirt. She looked amazing. She would look amazing wearing a trash bag, as far as I was concerned.

She sat down on the armchair opposite us and raised her eyebrow.

“Will you tell me what’s wrong?” she asked, looking at Andrew. “I know I shouldn’t have gone away in the middle of the night without telling you first, but it was just a short run. I was nowhere near the border.”

“Why were you out in the middle of the night in the first place?” Andrew sighed.

“I couldn’t sleep.” she shrugged.

Goddess, I wanted to kiss her so bad.

Andrew ran a hand through his hair and leaned his elbows on his knees.

“You are right.” he said quietly. “You shouldn’t have gone outside in the middle of the night without telling me, but it’s not about the run, Emma. It’s

about your safety.”

“My safety?” she asked, confused. “Sienna and Rolf are locked up, aren’t they?”

Andrew and I growled when she said their names. Yes, they were locked up, and they would never leave. The only way out was death, and neither Andrew nor I were willing to give them that anytime soon. They had a lot to pay for. Every time Emma got scared or had a flashback, the list of their debts increased. They were going to be in my cellar for a very long time.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Emma started panicking when we didn’t respond right away.

“Oh, Goddess, did they escape?” she

said, her eyes widening.

Her breaths were getting short and fast, and her eyes kept glancing from me to Andrew.

“No, baby, don’t worry.” I said, trying to stay calm. “They are locked up.”
