True Luna novel (Emma and Logan) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 His Second Choice

Emma POV

I was sitting in my office, stressing about the late shipment, when a knock on the door made me put the papers down.

“Come in.” I said, running my fingers through my hair.

The door opened, and Jake walked inside.

“Hey, Jake.” I said, giving him a small smile. “What can I do for you?”

“I’m not here on official business, beautiful.” he said as he sat down on the couch with a huff.

“Is something wrong?” I asked as I stood up and approached him.

He looked up at me and furrowed his

eyebrows.

“Why haven’t I found my mate yet, beautiful?” he mumbled as he took my hand in his.

I sat down next to him and took a deep breath.

This was a question that had bugged him for a while now. He was scared that she died. He was sure that he would never find her. On the other hand, he didn’t want to take a chosen mate. He didn’t want to look at other girls.

I admired it, but I was also worried about him. I didn’t want him to spend his life alone. He was a great guy, and he deserved the best. It saddened me that the Goddess hadn’t given him a mate yet.

“I don’t know, Jake.” I said softly. “I wish

that I could tell you that you will find her soon, but I don’t know that. I want you to be happy. I really do.”

Jake kept his eyes on my hand in his. He played with my fingers absentmindedly.

“Jake?” I called him softly, and he looked up at me.

“Are you happy with Logan, Emma?” Jake asked, making me tense up.

My heart raced. Where was he going with this? I thought that he accepted Logan. We talked about it a lot, and he seemed okay with my choice. Why was he asking me that?

“I am.” I nodded. “Very happy.”

Jake studied my face for a few moments. I saw his jaw clench, and he

took a deep breath.

“You were his second choice, Emma.” he said, making my heart break. “You know that, right?”

My heart was breaking inside my chest. Jake was wrong. I wasn’t his second choice. He loved me. He wanted me. He

wanted me even before Sienna

kidnapped me. He wanted me before he knew about my powers.

He wanted me.

“If Sienna never kidnapped you, he would take her as his chosen mate.” Jake said. “He wouldn’t change his mind, Emma.”

I let go of his hand.

“I’m not telling you this to hurt you.” Jake said, taking my hand back in his.

“Then why are you telling me this, Jake?” I asked, trying to stop my voice from breaking.

Jacob took a deep breath and squeezed my hand tightly.

“It should have been you, Emma.” he mumbled. “You should have been my mate.”

“Jake…” I started saying, but Jake interrupted me.
