Logan’s POV
I was too shocked to speak. I was too shocked to move. I couldn’t do anything except stare at her.
It was my Emma, but at the same time, it wasn’t. She looked like my beautiful Emma, but it wasn’t my Emma.
I had such a hard time accepting the fact that my baby would be taken over by darkness, but I couldn’t accept the fact that she was taken over by…
No.
It wasn’t true. It couldn’t have been true.
The bitch wasn’t back. The bitch was dead and buried somewhere in the forest. Her body was long gone. She was fucking gone. She wasn’t inside my mate’s beautiful body. It wasn’t fucking possible!
My body was completely frozen the entire time. I wasn’t even sure if I was breathing. All I saw was my baby, but all I could hear was Sienna. It was a living nightmare and I just wanted to wake up from it.
I wanted to wake up next to my Emma. I wanted to pull her to my chest and kiss her soft lips just like I did every morning for the past twenty years. I didn’t want to listen to this. I didn’t want to see this.
I flinched hard when I saw her elongate her claws. My heart completely stopped beating when I saw her place them against her stomach.
I wasn’t able to scream. I wasn’t able to do anything except stare at her in utter terror.
But then she flinched back and collapsed on the floor.
It was like everything came rushing back like a tidal wave. Every emotion that was being held back by shock was now overwhelming my body.
“EMMA!” I screamed as I slammed my body against the window separating us.
“Mom!”
“Emma!”
I heard screams all around me, but there was another sound that caught my attention.
Cracking.
I looked at the window and gasped. I was just about to slam my body against it again when Anna’s magic blasted me and I flew back. I growled loudly, my canines and claws bursting out of my body with such intensity that I could feel the metallic taste in my mouth. My canines sliced through my gums, but I didn’t give a fuck. I felt Emma’s power raging inside me and I knew that I could bring that window down. I was going to get to my mate no matter what it took!
I jumped up and growled at Anna. I tried to run back toward the window, but she stopped me again, knocking me back down to the ground. My vision blackened completely. The rage I never felt before washed over me.
No one was going to stop me from getting inside that fucking room! No one!
I looked at Anna and barred my teeth at her. I could see her mouth moving, but my growls were so loud that I couldn’t hear anything else.
Did she really think that I would stop?! Did she really think that I wouldn’t fucking break through that window?!
“Logan!” I heard her voice in between my growls. “I did it! I knocked her down! She is okay!”
I couldn’t understand what she was telling me. I didn’t give a shit. I was getting inside that fucking room.
I looked at the window and saw the crack closing slowly.
“NO!” I screamed as I jumped back up and tried to run toward the window again.
This time Alex stopped me.
I looked at him wide-eyed. What the hell was he doing?! I needed to go to her!
“Dad!” he screamed at me. “Stop it! You need to listen to Anna!”
I tightened my jaw and tried to get out of Alex’s arms. I didn’t need to do shit. All I fucking needed to do was go to my mate!
Anna approached us and cupped my cheeks. Her magic entered me and I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t look away from Anna. If Alex wasn’t holding me, I would have crumpled to the floor. I couldn’t feel my legs.
“Listen to me, Alex,” Anna said sternly. “Emma is okay. I knocked her out so Sienna wouldn’t be able to hurt her. She is unconscious, but she is okay. You need to calm down.”
How could I calm down when that bitch was inside my mate’s body? She could hurt her! She was surely going to try to hurt her once she woke up again!
“She is going to try to hurt her when she wakes up!” I managed to mumble, my voice sounding like I was choking.
Anna gulped and nodded.
“I know,” she said. “That is why I am going to open those doors and let you inside.”
My eyes widened. I heard quiet gasps around me.
“I have limited control over that room,” Anna continued. “Emma’s magic is too strong for me. There isn’t much I can do. I don’t even know how I managed to knock her out. You need to go in there and make sure that Sienna doesn’t hurt her.”
I nodded immediately. That is all I wanted to do.
“But what if she hurts him?” Alex asked, his voice laced with worry. “She can still do magic in there. What if she hurts my dad?”
Anna looked at Alex and took a deep breath.
“Her use of magic is limited in there,” Anna said. “She would be able to shock him a few times at best.”
Anna looked back at me and raised an eyebrow.
“You can take a few shocks, can you?” she asked and I nodded again.
I would die for her. I didn’t give a shit about what her magic could do to me. If I had to die for her to live, I would do it in a fucking heartbeat.
“Are you sure, Dad?” Alex asked worriedly. “She is still powerful. She could still hurt you.”
Anna moved her hands and her magic left my body. I looked at my son and pulled him into a tight hug.
“I am sure, bud,” I said as I kissed his temple. “Your mom needs me and I will do whatever I have to do to keep her safe. I will endure whatever I have to, but I will make sure that she gets out of that room alive.”
Alex tightened his arms around me and I kissed his temple again.
I looked at Anna who was standing in front of the door, mumbling something I couldn’t understand. The door glistened for a second and Anna turned the doorknob.
My heart raced impossibly fast as I let my son go and rushed to get to my mate as soon as fucking possible.
