Chapter 142

Book 2 Where is she?!

Nathan POV I woke up with a strange feeling in my gut.

Something wasn’t right.

‘Noel?’ I called my wolf.

‘I feel it too.’ he said. ‘Something happened.’

I threw the blanket off my body and sat up in bed.

‘Is Emma okay?’ I asked him worriedly. ‘Did something happen to her?’

‘She is okay’. Noel said, but I could hear tension in his voice. ‘I don’t know what’s wrong.’

I tightened my jaw and stood up.

I would find out. The important thing was that she was okay.

I walked to the closet and opened it. I was just about to grab a pair of jeans when my phone rang.

I picked it up from the desk and looked at the caller ID. It was Mark.

“What’s up?” I asked as I answered the phone call.

“Your father is driving me crazy.” Mark sighed. “When are you coming home?”

“Soon.” I said as I took a pair of jeans and boxers out of my closet.

“Did she accept you?” Mark asked excitedly. “Oh, Kate will be thrilled.”

Kate was his mate. She was around Emma’s age, and she really wanted to meet her.

“She didn’t.” I sighed as I put the phone on speaker and placed it down on the desk. “She wouldn’t until I separated her from Logan.”

Mark sighed.

I started getting dressed. I needed to hurry up and find out what that awful gut feeling was about.

“Are you going to take her away forcefully?” Mark asked.

I sighed as I pulled a sweater over my head.

“I will have to.” I said. “We had dinner yesterday. She is too hung up on him. She isn’t going to see that I am her Goddess-given mate until I take her away from him.”

“I was hoping that you would be able to avoid that.” Mark mumbled.

I picked the phone back up, took the call off speaker, and placed the phone against my ear.

“Me too.” I said. “But she is just so stubborn.”

“When and how are you going to do it?” Mark asked.

I sat down on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair.

“As soon as possible.” I said. “I don’t know how yet. Just be ready to come pick us up at the border.”

“Just don’t do anything stupid, Nate.” Mark sighed.

I would probably have to. She wouldn't go with me willingly. I had to find a way to make her come with me.

“Don’t worry.” I said. “She will forgive me once she realizes that she is right where she belongs.”

“I will wait for your call.” Mark said.

“Thank you.” I responded. “Say hello to Kate for me.”

“Sure will.” Mark mumbled.

I hung up the phone and put my shoes on.

That awful feeling in my stomach only got worse. I gritted my teeth and walked toward the door.

Ryan was there when I stepped outside of the room. Of course he was. He was my guard dog.

“Good morning, Alpha Nathan.” he said politely.

“Good morning, Ryan.” I said as I started walking toward Emma’s office.

I needed to see her. I wanted to find out where she lived, but I couldn’t get some alone time no matter what. As soon as Logan’s dogs saw me leave my room, they followed after me. I was annoyed as f**k, but I wouldn't have to take that for long. I would be out of here with my mate as soon as f*****g possible.

I could smell Emma’s brother even before I opened her office door.

What the hell was he doing here?

I opened the door, and he looked up at me. He was sitting at her desk with a bunch of papers in front of him.

Emma wasn’t here.

Where was she?

“Good morning, Alpha Nathan.” Andrew said. “How can I help you?”

“Where is Emma?” I asked as I approached her desk.

Andrew leaned back in her chair and pointed at the chair in front of her desk.

My heart raced.

Where was she?!

“Sit down, please.” Andrew said when I didn’t approach the chair.

“Where is she?” I asked, ignoring him completely.

The awful feeling in my gut increased. Noel stirred and growled.

“Emma had to leave.” Andrew said, making my heart stop beating. “We had some issues with our pack members who live close to our southern border. Emma and Logan left, and they will be back in a few days.”

My whole f*****g body froze. I couldn't move a muscle.

What?

What f*****g issues? Where the f**k was she?!

“What?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at Andrew. “What f*****g issues? Where is she?!”

Andrew took a deep breath and pointed at the chair again. I wasn’t going to sit down. I was going to wait for him to tell me where the f**k she was. I was going to go get her. I was going to take her to my pack.

“I can’t give you that information, Alpha Nathan.” Andrew said. “The issue is sensitive and related to our pack.”

I growled and clenched my fists.

“Where the f**k is she?!” I shouted.

I wanted to punch something. Did that fucker take her away from me?!

“Alpha Nathan, calm down, please.” Andrew said calmly. “Emma will be back in a few days.”

A few days?! A few f*****g days?!

No! I wasn’t going to wait that long! She had to come back right the f**k now!

“Call her and tell her to come back!” I said, gritting my teeth.

Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly. I saw his jaw clench.

“I can’t do that, Alpha Nathan.” Andrew said. “Emma is the Luna of our pack. She has obligations. She is working.”

She wasn’t their Luna. She was my Luna!

I placed my hands on the table and leaned toward Andrew. I narrowed my eyes and clenched my jaw.

“She won’t be your Luna for long.” I said, making Andrew growl quietly. “She is my Luna. She will go back to my pack with me. You should enjoy these last few days with her because we won’t come back here after I take her back to my pack and mark her.”

Rage flashed in Andrew’s eyes, but I didn’t give a s**t.

I didn’t even give him a chance to say anything.

I turned around and rushed out of her office.

I was going to take her away from them. She would never see them again.

She would be mine, and mine only!
