Chapter: Chapter 163Emily The kiss turned frantic, hungry..Emily was clawing her way up Lorenzo’s body. He was so tall she literally tried climbing up. But then he stopped her…“Wait .. I had a whole speech…” he said. She grinned at him. “Okay. Let’s here it.” She said smiling. Lo got back down on one knee. He took her hand and kissed it. Lo down on a knee was still about as tall as Emily he was so huge. She grinned at him waiting. “Emily Caroline Elkwood. I have loved you my entire life. Even before the mate bond, through it and after it. I’ve always loved you. You’re the best part of every day…. you’re the best part of me. You’re my reason. You have the kindest soul of anyone I’ve ever known and the biggest heart there ever was. As bad as it sounds, I’m glad that rogue pack took mine over so I got to come live with you.”Emily had tears in her eyes as he continued. “You’re the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid my eyes on … but you don’t even realize it. You’re funny. But you don’t know t

Chapter: Chapter 162Emily She had spent the entire afternoon with her horse, Storm… riding him and brushing and feeding him. She loved that animal already.. she had been telling the kids and her dad all about him during the phone calls. She got word that Lorenzo wanted her to meet him at the house soon. But she wanted to run back to her room at the pack house and shower first. Her crazy purple hair was still wet we she started out. She figured Lo had wanted to ask her something about the furniture or some of the outside work that the builders were finishing up. She had been in jeans and boots all day while riding so she wanted to dress comfortably. She threw on a long sleeved fitted cropped workout shirt and some sweat pants with her tennis shoes. She grabbed her big puffer coat to head out the door when she stopped. Her breathing got ragged as she looked down at her clothes. This was the exact outfit she had on in the safe room…. With Nick….. with Raleigh…She threw her coat down and immediately

Chapter: Chapter 161LorenzoThe past few days had been the best in his life. His pack was thriving… he was catching up on his work finally …. And Emily. Emily was here. She was leaving soon though to go back home for a while. He hated it … but she had children to see to. She would be coming back in no time. Alan and Collins were going with her as well. He and Collins had sat down and had a conversation the day before. He told her he hoped she understood about everything. How he had always belonged to Emily, no matter who else came along. She was more than fine with it though. Apparently like him, once Alan showed up any residual feelings she had diminished. He was glad of that. She would be good for Alan .. he knew. And vice versa. Alan had always been like a brother to him.. and soon that bond would become real. He was going to ask Emily to marry him. Tonight. He knew she wanted to wait for her divorce to finalize before they really started anything. Or at least anything physical…. She was

Chapter: Chapter 160Emily Emily was thrilled to find that she and Collins could easily talk. And possibly one day be just as close as Emily and Maeve were. Maeve, who would be going into labor any day now. She and Collins had spent the entire afternoon together talking. Emily learned that Collins had some Native American blood in her. Apparently her father’s mother was Cree. And her mother’s father was too. That’s how they’d met each other. A lot of the wolves came from similar background. She herself had some Cherokee blood. Hester’s father was Cherokee. But if you followed all werewolves bloodline it usually always led back to Native American origins. They just usually weren’t so close. She also found out what had happened to Collins in college. So Emily shared her experience as well. “Goddess!” Collins had said when Emily told her everything that had happened with Nick and Raleigh. But Collins experience had been just as bad, maybe even worse. Because it wasn’t just her boyfriend that assau

Chapter: Chapter 159EmilySo the rest of the week she has been busy with her new horse. She had ordered a saddle and everything she needed. Lo already had saddles there she could use for now, but she wanted a special one. She named her horse ‘Storm’ because of his beautiful coloring…..he reminded her of the clouds right before a blizzard. She couldn’t wait to show her kids and Andrew and take them on rides. All in all, she was happy.. content… and at peace. The people here were genuinely so kind and polite to her. Lo introduced her to everyone as his mate … which made tingles erupt on her body every time he said the word. They were happy for him, and thankful for her. She didn’t have to constantly be looking over her shoulder, or worry about what someone might be cooking up to hurt her or her family. The entire pack was filled with good people. She found it ironic that some wolves, like Nicklaus, looked down on The Crow pack because it was made up mostly of ex-rogues. But these people weren’t rogues

Chapter: Chapter 158Emily Emily opened her eyes and stretched. A smile graced her face. She was happy. She didn’t remember the last time she’d woken up every day without worrying about something. But that’s what had happened every single day since she had been in the Crow pack. It had been a week since they’d arrived. A week since Lorenzo declared his love for her and showed her the house he’d built for them to live in. A week since the mate bond pulled them together like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Not even when she met Nicklaus. The house was as breathtaking on the inside as it was the outside. The fireplace alone made her gasp when she had seen it. The kitchen was huge. All the beautiful wood and logs made it cozy and the perfect place to cook meals for her family. Her family … she thought. Lo was her family. There were stainless steel appliances all brand new. Lo had told her they’d just arrived that day and been installed. Of course they needed furniture… but he wanted her

Chapter: Chapter 97Em But then the doorbell rang. Em’s stomach did a little flip with nerves. Her mom got up to get the door. She heard them talking in the entry but she couldn’t see anything yet. Her mom was saying “Yes… come in… I was just telling her….” And then a man walked around the corner. Em got up to greet him .. but then.. someone else walked around the corner. Quinn. Her surprise must’ve shown on her face.. she was so happy he was there though. But he didn’t look happy at all. Was he mad that she postponed their date? He just stood there with his hands in his pockets. “Hey! What are you doing here??” She said smiling at him. “Em” her mom said. “This is John … my boyfriend.” He smiled deeply at her and she immediately knew she had seen him before. Wait. Oh god. There’s no way. There is absolutely no fucking way in hell this was happening. “Wait” she said. “This ….” She said pointing to John..”is your boyfriend?”“And this…”. She said looking at Quinn… “is your dad??”“

Chapter: Chapter 96EmShe and Quinn had planned to go to his house that night, as his dad wasn’t gonna be home. But then all the worry about the outfit, all the planning…. none of it even mattered. Em’s mom told her when she got home that she had a special surprise for her that night. The man she had been seeing was coming over. Em and Sawyer were finally getting to meet him. As much as she wanted to meet the guy.. she didn’t want to do it tonight. “Tonight.. mom? I’ve got plans.”“Well can’t you go out after dinner?” She asked. Em guessed she could. But she had been waiting on this night with Quinn forever. Pushing it back even a couple of hours really sucked. “We had some things we wanted to discuss.” Her mom said. What could her mom and this man possibly need to discuss that included Em? Maybe they were gonna take that trip together after all. She went upstairs to text Quinn that she would be late coming over because her moms boyfriend was coming to supper. Quinn never texted her b

Chapter: Chapter 95EmThe day finally arrived when Em was getting her stitches out. She had been nervous about it all day for some reason. Her mom was meeting her at the hospital but she still wanted someone to go with her. So the girls all piled into the little small waiting room with Em and her mom.. and the doctor of course. Getting the stitches out in her forehead didn’t hurt too bad.. but the ones in her leg were a different story. Those were staples.. and she had to hang on to Aspen’s hand and squeeze every time they cut one out. Mickey was watching closely. She literally had her head down by Em’s leg. But the soon as the doctor took the first staple out… she gagged and said she was gonna be sick. “This is worse than watching you get that last tattoo ‘Em!”Mickey exclaimed. Em quickly looked up at her mom… who hadn’t known about the ‘Q’ she had gotten… even though it was in plain sight on her hand. She smiled crookedly to her mom and shrugged her shoulders. “Ahhh shit. I did it aga

Chapter: Chapter 94EmHalloween had come and gone while Em had been in the hospital. She hated that she missed it because it had always been one of her favorite holidays. She and her brother would always dress up and she would take him trick or treating. They hadn’t got to celebrate last year either, because so much was going on. So Em was a little bummed. She had ordered the cutest costume too. It was an ‘80s aerobics outfit. It came with a boombox and everything. She had been especially excited for Quinn to see her in it too. She knew he would love the leotard. At least Sawyer still got to go trick or treating. He had dressed up as Jon Snow. Apparently he had told every person that answered the door that ‘he was the king of the north’. But now the holidays were just around the corner and Em was so exited. It was her absolute favorite time of the year. Her mom had told them she would get out the Christmas tree and decorations that night. And the girls were coming over to help them.

Chapter: Chapter 93QuinnHe was trying not to throw her down right there in the middle of the fucking entry way where they were still standing, but it was getting hard not to throw her down any and everywhere. He pushed her back against the wall kissing her madly, dominating her mouth with his tongue. She moaned… he pressed his whole body into hers. Just so she could feel what she was doing to him. “Quinn” she breathed. Holy fuck. When she said his name like that, he had to reign in the wild animal inside him. He growled. “Ahhhhh” she was making the most glorious noises. He bit her lip, hard, then sucked it into his mouth running his tongue over it. She was writhing. Pushing her body into his while at the same time pulling on his shirt trying to get him closer. She was still hurt though. Still in pain. He couldn’t be rough with her. He pulled away… looking at her like he wanted to devour her .. and he did. But damn. She still had stitches everywhere. Her ribs were still broken. Her poor

Chapter: Chapter 92EmThe next couple of weeks came and went. It was getting very cold.. almost snowy. Em loved it. After living in California, snow was a new thing for her. Although she had been skiing and vacationed where it snowed… she had never experienced it from home before. She was getting better every day. Her bruises were healing… her body was getting stronger. She couldn’t wait until she was able to dance again. She had to miss the competition she had practiced so hard for, but she still went and cheered the team on. Em was so proud of Sylvia and the entire group, they placed 2nd out of forty five teams. And that was not an easy feat. She was also proud of Sylvia’s mom… she had started this dance company all on her own when the school decided to cut out dance all together. They’d worked so hard.. and it had paid off. Em had gone back to school… she had a little catching up to do but luckily for her the girls had been bringing her assignments home so she wasn’t too far behind. She had
