Switched Bride True Luna novel Chapter 125

Logan

Emily and I sit inside of an empty conference room that is tucked away from the rest of the pack. Before we even entered inside of the room, I had Tony, my Beta, and one of the Delta’s that I have assigned to protect Emily and myself to check the room for any listening or recording devices. Once it was clear, we entered inside and have been waiting for Dorothy, our lawyer, ever since.

The room is filled with the tent silence, yesterday’s lazy day remaining in the past as our present and future takes place in front of us. I occasionally look over at Emily, staring at the side of her face to try and see what it is that she is exactly feeling in this moment, wanting her to simply be okay. She gives me no information, though, her face remaining stoic and neutral as the time takes away, the hands of the clock slowly moving in its fixed path. My eyes turned to the mug on the wooden conference room table. A small plume of steam is released from the hot liquid, the tag from the teabag hanging over the edge of the mug. My eyes flicker to Emily, watching as she dissociates while staring at the clock.

I want to so desperately reach out for her, to take her hand in mine just as she did with me not so long ago. There has to be a lot on her mind, the copies of the documents that we have made sitting there as a reminder of what she has lost in her life and what she is about to rightfully gain back. It must feel so conflicting to sit here and wait as her future hangs in the balance.

I really can’t imagine what must be going on inside of that head of hers. What I can imagine, though, is that Emily is surely devising a plan of action just in case the evidence is deemed not worthy enough by Dorothy once she comes and expects the paperwork for herself.

A quiet sigh leaves Emily’s lips. I suck in a breath when she does this, unsure if she is going to turn to me and confide her worries to me or if she wants to go back home. Whatever it is that she wants, I will go to the ends of the earth to give to her.

It is only right that I do so seeing how she will be my wife in a matter of weeks. It does not matter if she wishes to part once the contract is up. Even after our inevitable divorce – even though I will try everything in my power to keep her in my arms and life – I will be there for her to do whatever it is that she needs me to.

“I’m nervous,” Emily quietly speaks out.

The admission takes me by surprise. I did not know that she would actually confide in me, the way she speaks so softly in the silent room. It is like she does not want the walls to hear of her woes.

“It is okay to feel nervous,” I quietly respond back to her, it’s natural to feel that way. This is a big deal…it’s only right that you feel that way.‘”
