True Luna novel (Emma and Logan) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 The Infection

Logan POV

I kept nuzzling my nose into her neck and hair, hoping to get just a little bit of her delicious scent. But there was nothing. She still smelt like wolfsbane, medicine, and Andrew.

I sighed. I would have to wait.

I ran my fingers through her long, silky hair and leaned my cheek on top of her head.

I just wanted her to open her eyes. I wanted her to speak to me. I needed to hear her voice. I needed to tell her that I loved her.

I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes.

I was awoken when the doctor entered the room.

“Good morning, Alpha.” the doctor said, holding Emma’s chart in his hands.

“Morning, doctor.” I yawned. “Are those the results?”

“Yes.” the doctor, nodded and looked at Andrew.

He was still asleep, so I carefully got off the bed and walked to him. I shook him and he opened his eyes. He jumped up immediately.

“What’s wrong?” he asked. “Where is Emma?”

“Right here.” I pointed at her. “She is okay. The doctor is here with her results.”

He looked at the doctor and sat up straighter. “Sorry, doctor. I haven’t been sleeping well. This is the first night I

managed to get some sleep.”

“I understand, Beta.” the doctor said with a small smile. “No need to apologize.”

“What did the results say?” I asked and walked back to Emma.

“We have confirmed it is an infection.” the doctor said as he moved toward Emma to check her temperature. “We will continue the antibiotics.”

“Will she be okay?” Andrew asked and stood up.

“I hope.” the doctor sighed. “There is still woflsbane in her and it is keeping her from healing. It also lessens the effect of the antibiotics we are giving her, so we will have to increase the dosage.”

My heart started beating painfully. I wanted to ask him a question, but I was afraid of the answer.

“Can she…” Andrew started speaking before taking a deep breath. “Can she die?”

My breath got caught in my throat.

The doctor raised his head and looked nervously at Andrew and me.

“She can.” he said quietly.

Andrew and I growled loudly.

No.

She wasn’t dying! She couldn’t die!

Asher whined, and Andrew jumped off the bed and went to Emma.

“No.” he said sternly. “You are not dying, Emma. Do you hear me? You will not die. You will not leave me alone.”

“I will do everything I can.” the doctor said quietly.

I stood frozen. I kept staring at her beautiful face. I couldn’t lose her.

“Is there something we can do?” I asked the doctor, not moving my eyes from her.

“Be with her.” he said. “The bonds she has with you will help her.”

Andrew and I nodded, and the doctor turned to walk out of the room. Andrew stopped him.
