Logan growled loudly. “A good man?! He tried to kill a pregnant woman!”
“Logan,” I called him, pulling him closer to me. “Stop.”
He looked at me angrily. “Don’t tell me that you are okay with this!”
I looked at Alpha Hunter and took a deep breath. I wasn’t okay with it, but the Goddess had to have a reason for creating a mate bond between them.
“I am not okay with it, but we can’t blame Alpha Hunter for his father’s mistakes,” I said, looking back at my mate. “He isn’t his father.”
Logan narrowed his eyes and tightened his jaw.
“Emma…,” he spoke sternly, but I interrupted him.
“We can’t separate them,” I 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.I mind-linked him.We can’t go against it, Logan. It wouldn't be fair.
Both Logan and I 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.
“I am against this,” Logan said quietly. “My daughter shouldn’t have been mated to you. But my Luna is right. I will let her decide.”
Alpha Hunter clenched his fists. I could see anger flash in his eyes.
I leaned in and placed a small kiss on Logan’s chest. I was so proud of him.
I could feel his anger and pain. I could feel his fear. I had the same emotions he did. I was angry. I was scared. I was in pain. I knew how hard it was for him to put aside those emotions. I knew how hard it was for him to say those words.
“I am 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 I will do.”
I glanced at Logan. He wasn’t convinced.
“I need to see her,” Alpha Hunter said and I could hear the pain in his voice.
“Wait here for a second,” I told him as I pulled Logan toward the other room.
I 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 kissed me. I tangled my fingers into his hair and kissed him back.
“Why her?” Logan mumbled as he leaned his forehead on mine.
“I don’t know,” I sighed as I caressed his cheek. “The Goddess had to have a reason.”
Logan sighed and lifted his head. He placed another small kiss on my lips.
“I love you,” he mumbled.
“I know,” I 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.
