OLIVIA
I look when the warriors grab Mia and drag her out of the castle and away. I feel the worry come from Logan, and I know he is worried about how I am going to react. I turn around and look at him and I see him leaning against his desk, looking down at the floor. I walk over to him, putting my arms around his waist so I stand so I can look up into his eyes.
“Are you okay?” I ask him softly, and he looks into my eyes and breathes out a much-needed breath.
“I am sorry, Liv.” He says and looks at me.
“What are you sorry about?” I ask him, not removing my eyes from him.
“I expected she would show up someday, and I should have known she would today. I should have told you.” He says.
“Would have been nice to know, but I am not mad. Well, I am, but not at you, Logan.” I tell him, and he smiles a little.
“Thank you, baby.” He whispers as he bends down and kisses me, and I smile at him.
“For what? Not kicking her ass? Because trust me, I will if she gets anywhere near OUR kids.” I tell him, and he chuckles and holds my face in his hands.
“God, I love you, my little spitfire.” He says, smiling before kissing me.
“I must admit, that even though I love seeing you only in pants and shirtless. I love seeing you in a suit.” I say, smirking and looking up at him, and he laughs before bending down to my ear.
“And you look beautiful and incredibly sexy. If I wasn’t scared, I would ruin your dress. I would have had your legs wrapped around me right now.” He whispers. Before nibbling my earlobe, making me shiver in delight, he chuckles again.
“You, my king, need to behave,” I tell him, trying to look serious at him.
“I always behave, my love.” He growls softly, and I roll my eyes at him, making him laugh.
“Okay, I need to finish. And so do you.” I tell him.
“I know, my love. I will see you soon.” He answers and kisses me before I leave his office.
When I leave his office I press for a mindlink to one of the warriors that came to get Mia, and it does not take long before that he answers.
‘Luna?’ He asks.
‘Yes, it is me. Have you taken Mia out of the lands yet?’ I ask him.
‘Not quite yet, Luna. We had to let her get her things first. We figured the Alpha, and you would agree with that.’ He says quietly, clearly nervous.
‘Of course, but I want you to do me a favor.’ I say and ask him.
‘Anything Luna.’ He answers.
‘Are you on duty today? Or is it the plan that you will join the coronation?’ I ask him, not wanting to ruin that chance for him.
‘No, Luna. I just started my shift. I am on duty until later in the evening. I wanted to be there. But I understand that we cannot leave our lands unprotected.’ He tells me. And I sense pride for being chosen to protect us all.
‘Okay, see you soon, Dad.’ I answer and close the mindlink.

About an hour later, I am on my way to the castle again, this time along with all the girls and Noah. And I am getting nervous. What if I say the wrong words? And will I even be a good queen? I am only eighteen, for God’s sake.
“Luna, breathe. Everything will be perfect.” Kate tells me. Using my title, probably to remind me I am a Luna. And I silently nod my head.
Getting to the Castle I am led to the big ballroom, where Logan is waiting outside the doors, waiting for us. He smiles when he sees us. Rose runs into his arms, and he lifts her up, kissing her cheek, gives Noah, who is in Anna’s arms a kiss and then kisses me.
Anna, Kate, and my grandmother all smile big when they see us like this. And I look at them rolling my eyes, which only makes them laugh at me. When it's time, the women take Rose and Noah and walk inside the ballroom to find their places while Logan and I wait for everyone to be ready.
“I know you asked for Mia to be kept under lock.” He whispers as he put his arms around me.
“I wasn’t hiding it,” I whisper back, making him chuckle.
“Can I ask why?” he ask.
“Of course, I want a little chat with her. Making sure she knows she isn’t welcome. And that she will not hurt or see or contact Rose unless Rose wishes to know and speak with her herself.” I say, looking at him. And he breaks out with a big smile and kisses me.
“Goddess, I Love you so much, baby. My little spitfire, my queen, my mate, my true love.” He whispers, and I blush.
And just then, the doors open, and they are ready for us to walk inside.
