Chapter 6 Mate
I looked at my watch and saw that it was 11 pm. Who was here this late?
I removed the covers and went toward my bedroom door. I opened them in time to hear my brother’s voice.
“Logan?” he said. “What are you doing here?”
“Where is she? Where is Emma?” Logan asked nervously.
His voice was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. It was like music to my ears. What was wrong with me? It never sounded like that before. It must have been because I was tired.
But he sounded cold, rushed. I didn’t know why he was asking for me, but I had a feeling that I was in trouble. But I didn’t do anything wrong.
“Emma?” my brother asked. “She is sleeping. Why?”
I could hear surprise and confusion in his voice.
I started walking toward the stairs and was instantly hit with the most amazing smell, pine needles and snow. It smelled like a winter forest.
‘Mate!’ Eliza screamed in my head.
‘What?!’ I asked and froze.
‘It is Logan, Emma. He is our mate. Go to him.’ Eliza said, excited.
Logan? The Alpha? He is my mate? I am a Luna?
I had a million questions in my head. My feet started moving against my will. It was like something was pulling me downstairs. Well, not something. The mate bond.
“Wake her up.” Logan growled. “Now.”
He sounded mad. Why was he mad?
“I am awake.” I said and started walking down the stairs.
I stopped in the middle to look at Logan.
Everything shifted when I looked into his eyes. He was now the center of my world. He was everything. I felt this incredible need to touch him, to be in his arms.
I wanted to run to him, but I stopped myself when I saw how cold his stare was. What was going on?
“Logan?” my brother called him.
“She is my mate.” Logan said through his teeth.
My brother gasped and looked up at me. I nodded and looked back at Logan. He was standing there looking at me with a cold expression on his face. His fists were clenched, and his posture was rigid.
He didn’t want me. That’s why he was so angry. I was not good enough to be his Luna.
“Emma.” Andrew called my name. “Go to your room. Now.”
He must have seen how angry Logan was and wanted to talk to him about this. I turned away and walked back upstairs.
But there was no way I was going back into my room. I wanted to hear what Logan would say. I had a feeling I knew, though.
I heard them walking to the kitchen, and I sat at the top of the stairs. I would be able to hear them talk and, hopefully, they would be focused on their conversation and would not be able to hear or sense me. I just had to be very quiet.
I hugged my knees and waited.
“Talk.” my brother said coldly. “How did you know before you even saw her?”
“I don’t know.” Logan sighed. “I could sense and smell her. It happened about an hour ago. At first, I thought I was going crazy, but then I decided to follow that smell. I knew for sure when I came closer to your house. Leon started going crazy.”
“That is weird.” my brother said. “Mates usually know when they see each other. They can’t sense it before.”
