Chapter 54 Trying

Emma POV

I was sitting in the diner with Amy, sipping my vanilla milkshake.

It’s been three days since I found out who I was, and I’ve been under constant supervision from my brother and Logan. I couldn’t shift, and they barely let me out of the house. I fought tooth and nail to be here with Amy without one of them breathing down my neck.

Andrew and Logan were in the packhouse, picking up on their work. Drake left to go to his pack, but he said that he would be back here in a few days. He wanted to help plan the attack on the Rogue King. Logan didn’t want to wait for him to attack. He said that he wanted to get rid of him before he found out about me.

The problem was that nobody knew

where the Rogue King was. He’d been hiding for years, operating from the shadows. Andrew and Logan planed on capturing one of the rogues and trying to get him to talk and tell us where the Rogue King was hiding.

It was really comforting to know that if he managed to take me away, nobody would know where to find me.

Note the sarcasm.

I sighed internally, trying to push the thought back into my mind.

“So, are you going to forgive Logan?” Amy asked me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I gulped my milkshake down. I didn’t know what to tell her. There was a whole other problem she wasn’t even aware of, and I couldn’t tell her about it

because I would be putting her in danger.

“I don’t know.” I sighed, stirring my

milkshake with my straw. “Would you forgive him?”

Amy sighed, taking a sip of her milkshake before looking back up at

“I don’t have a mate, so I don’t know what a mate bond feels like.” she said. “But the Goddess can make mistakes. You shouldn’t be with the man who hurt you just because there is a bond. You should be with someone who loves you, Emma.”

“Is this your way of telling me I should be with Jake?” I asked her, already knowing the answer.

She was convinced that Jake and I

belonged together.

“Maybe.” she shrugged. “Jake adores you, Emmy. He would never hurt you. He would love you like you deserve to be loved.”

I tried to picture it. I tried to imagine my life with Jake. Each time I did, my whole body screamed. The images of Logan touching me and kissing me flooded my mind. I couldn’t imagine myself with another man. No matter how badly Logan hurt me, I was his. My body and my soul were his.

“It wouldn’t be fair to him, Amy.” I sighed, trying to push away the image of our last kiss. “I could never love him like that. He deserves a girl who will love him with everything she has. He deserves a mate. I can’t be that. I can’t give him the love he needs.”

“But you love him, Emma.” Amy said, taking my hand in hers.

“I do.” I nodded. “I love him like a friend.”

“That would be enough for him.” she smiled at me.

I shook my head. “It wouldn’t be fair, Amy. I could never do that to him.”

Amy sighed, letting go of my hand and taking another sip of her milkshake.

“What about Logan then?” she asked.

“I’m not sure.” I sighed, pushing the now empty glass away. “I need more time.”

Amy and I talked for a little while longer. I tried to avoid the topic about Logan and Jake, because she was adamant about convincing me to leave Logan and run to Jake. But I couldn’t. My body

and my heart kept screaming at me when I thought about it.

When I noticed that it was getting dark outside, I told Amy I should get going.

We said our goodbyes, and I walked back home.

When I entered the house, I saw Logan sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone.

“Hey, baby.” he smiled at me, making my heart skip a beat.

He insisted on calling me baby, no matter how many times I told him not to. I gave up eventually.

“Hey.” I said, unwrapping my scarf from around my neck. “Where is Andrew?”

“Grocery shopping.” he said. “Did you

have fun with Amy?”

He motioned for me to sit down next to him. I debated it for a second before I walked over to him.
