Gerald needs this

Emi's POV

Logan had his hands wrapped around me, gently pressing my face against his chest so the tears my eyes poured out was on him.

"Claudia is just my mate," he said, his hand touching my face to wipe the tears that threatened my eyeballs.

"But…" I raised my head to look directly into his eyes. "The connection between mates… has found you both together…"

He kept silent for a while, probably thinking through our love affair. We had spent three whole years together without being mates, and I had felt that out not being mates did not matter, love could cover all, right?

But then, Claudia, a girl from another pack had come into the picture, and that fated connection we didn't have had sparked between them, going against our relationship.

"No." He picked up a serious tone that seemed too believable to doubt. "She'll be my mate for just a short period of time, and I'll have nothing else to do with her."
