Chapter 77 Waiting
Logan POV
I was standing in the middle of the forest, looking at the entrance to the cave systems.
My body was buzzing with the need to kill.
‘Are you ready Leon?’ I asked my wolf.
‘Let me out.’ He growled, clawing at my insides.
‘Soon.’ I said, taking a deep breath. ‘We need to wait just a little longer.’
Leon growled, and I felt a wave of rage hit me. He was more than ready.
“Anything?” Andrew asked quietly.
I shook my head.
We didn’t know how to handle the
witches. We didn’t have time to find our own, and I didn’t want to wait. The
dream where I saw Emma shook me. If it was real and if she was really ready to give up, I would never fucking forgive myself if I waited around to find a fucking witch who would be willing to help us.
I wouldn’t even have time to forgive myself. I would follow my mate. I wasn’t going to live without her.
We decided to wait until I felt Emma being tortured again. We decided to attack once the witches were occupied with Emma.
I am sorry, baby. I mind-linked her. I am so sorry. We are here, my love. We will get you out. I am so sorry that we have to use you like this. I am so fucking sorry. I love you, baby. I am here, and I
will get you out as soon as I can, okay? Just hold on a little longer. Just a little bit longer, baby.
I knew that she couldn’t hear me. But I felt better talking to her. Maybe, just maybe, she could hear me, but she couldn’t respond. I needed to give her assurance. I needed to give her
strength. I needed her to hold on a little bit longer.
I looked at Andrew. He was on the edge. He looked fucking feral. I knew that all hell would break loose once he let
Asher out.
“How is Asher doing?” I asked my Beta.
“He is ready to kill.” Andrew growled, keeping his eyes fixated on the entrance to the cave systems.
“Same with Leon.” I mumbled. “He
wants out.”
“I’m having trouble keeping Asher in.” Andrew growled quietly.
I could see his muscles clenching in an effort to stop his shifting.
“Are you trying to mind-link her?” I asked him.
He nodded, tightening his jaw.
“I keep talking to her.” he said. “I’m hoping that maybe she can hear me, but she can’t respond.”
“Me too.” I sighed.
