Emily.
"Don't tell me that Tyler. It wasn't I who started it, it was your mother. How could you believe her? We've been together for close to four years now and you think I'm capable of doing such a thing?" I was at the brim of tears. His back was turned on me because he was angry, but I was angrier. I whimpered as the tears that brimmed my eyes fell on my cheek.
He finally turned to face me, and once he saw the tears in my eyes, he heaved deeply. "Emily." He called my name softly, but this time, I turned my back on him because I didn't want to see him.
In all four years of our marriage, this was the first time Tyler and I fought. I felt bad about it, but I wasn't going to sit back and watch his mother disrespect me. I folded my arms, trying hard not to face him again until I felt his arms wrapped around my waist. It made me calm again, and I forced out a smile when he kissed the mark on my neck.
"I don't ever want to hurt you or be in a disagreement with you baby. But my mother, she's just getting to know you. You're a good woman, I'm sure she understands that." He made me turn around to face him and kissed my forehead. "Let's never fight because of little issues, I'll talk to my mother not to bring up the issue of a child to you again."
I heaved deeply. Maybe I had also overstepped my boundary with what I had just said too. It was hard, hard enough for me that I wasn't pregnant yet. "I'll apologize to her as well," I said. I was simply doing this for his happiness since he meant everything to me.
He embraced me tightly and swept me off my feet before heading towards the bed and placing me on it while I giggled.
The next morning, Tyler went out to the fields to train some of the new wolves. I normally go with him, but today, I was feeling sick. I had been in my room all day, thinking about the first day I had met him. He was a senior, and I was a junior back then in college. Our first meeting wasn't that good, but afterward, we fell so in love with each other.
I rose from the bed when I felt a little thirsty and decided to go get myself a glass of juice and water. I took the stairs and came down to the living room. His mother was seated on the longest couch. "Good morning mom." I greeted her, but I got no response. All I wanted was to just turn my back and walk away, but I couldn't. I shut my eyes tight and inhaled a deep breath.
"I'm sorry for yesterday," I said, but she still didn't give me a response. Why did she hate me so much? She hasn't even tried to get to know me yet. Was it only because I couldn't bear a child yet? "Mom?" I called again but was lashed out at.
"Get the hell out of my sight you witch. You're good for nothing woman and you don't deserve the title Luna if you can't give my son a little pup." She yelled. Jeez, again with the little pup of a thing. I was mad, but I held my anger. Exhaling and inhaling were all I needed to do.
I decided to just walk away instead of responding to her. I walked towards the fridge and opened it up, but to my greatest surprise, nothing was there. I had just restocked this 3 Days ago so where was it all? I shut my eyes tight.
Kathleen, my wolf was angrier than I was. She wanted to tear the old lady apart, but I calmed her down. "Let's just go down the street and get a restock," Kathleen suggested. I took the stairs and walked back into the room to get my car keys. Once I took it, I headed straight for the garage only to find out that my favorite car had a flat tire and broken glass.
"What the fuck!!"
I wanted to scream out the entire rage in me. I turned my back angrily only to see Tyler's mother standing behind me. I balled my hands again, staring at her with hatred in my eyes. If looks could kill, she would have been six feet under the ground by now.
Do this for Tyler. Kathleen told me, and I immediately calmed down. I walked back into the house after roughing my hair. I couldn't wait for Tyler to be back so I would tell him about his annoying mother. She was getting on my nerves and I was close to losing my patience. I picked up my phone and began staring at some cute pictures of Tyler and me together.
Suddenly, I felt a quick but sharp pain. It immediately stopped even before I could wince in pain. It made me wonder what was happening. This type of pain only meant one thing, but no, it wouldn't be my Tyler. It wouldn't be the Tyler I've spent so many years with.
I decided to ignore the pain, but Kathleen was bothered, and so was I. I immediately searched for Tyler's number and called it.
"Hey, baby." I greeted him, and he greeted me back.
"When will you be home? I miss you already." I said. The background of the place he was in was calm. So there was nothing to be suspicious about. Maybe he was in the office now.
"Was the training successful?" I questioned.
"Dale's handling that. I went to the office to do something important."
"Baby, can you get a restock on your way home, the fridge's empty."
"Thought you stocked it up some days ago?"
"You wouldn't believe how it all vanished even if I told you. Just get a restock okay."
"Are you feeling better? How about you go meet the pack doctor."
"It's nothing serious, Tyler. I'll be up in a day or two."
"Alright, love. See you soon." He said and immediately ended the call.
I stared at my phone for about 10 seconds before dropping it back on the bed close to me. Taking a pillow, I placed it beside me and rested my chin on it.
That swift pain came again, but like before, it vanished. I was slowly becoming worried. I thought of seeing the pack doctor, but I was feeling extremely lazy to step out of the house. The issue with my car, I couldn't bear to look at it as well.
My phone started ringing. When I saw the caller it was Anita, my childhood friend. I picked up the call immediately and placed the phone on my ears.
I was expecting to hear her sweet voice, but what I heard were her cries. Her cries made my heart bleed and I wondered what could be the problem.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I questioned worriedly.
"I.. it's…it's Alex. He cheated on me with his childhood friend and now, he rejected me, Emily. He did that to me after all the promises he made to me. I begged him, I tried to remind him I was carrying his child, but nothing I said got to his ears. Even my tears weren't able to move him. This isn't Alex, Emily. I think my husband has been bewitched. Alex is gone, and I can't get him back… I.. I.."
"Calm down Anita, tell me where you are and I'll come to get you right now. Stop hurting yourself. It'll affect the baby."
"The baby?" She questioned.
"Just tell me where you are, stop talking." I was getting even more worried about her.
Anita's the only friend I've got since high school. Like me, she always wanted a perfect life and a perfect marriage. We both got that with our different spouses, but now, what the hell was going on?
I knew Alex well, and I was still finding it hard he did that to her. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. I just needed to see Anita and talk to her.
"Alex doesn't care about the baby anymore. He rejected me already and there's nothing I can do. Meet me at our favorite meeting spot, I'll be waiting for you, Emily, please hurry."
I rose from my bed and immediately opened the cupboard where Tyler usually kept the keys to his multiple cars, and I picked one immediately and rushed out of the house without bothering about what I looked like.
I ignored Tyler's mother and got into the car. Once I got in, I zoomed out of the house to go meet Anita. I still vividly remember our favorite meeting spot before we both got married. We always met there almost every day.
Some minutes later, I got there and stepped out of the car in a rush. I was still feeling sick, but all I cared about was Anita and how she was doing. I saw her, seated on the floor like a hopeless person.
I rushed to her and hugged her tight. "It's okay. I'm here now, and you can talk to me." I said rubbing her hair while she began crying loudly on my shoulders.
About an hour later, she was done crying to her heart's content. I stared down at her protruding stomach and smiled. "You're doing great, just great Anita."
I envied her and for a quick second, I wished I was the one with a baby in my womb.
"I wanna see Alex and punch him myself for hurting you. How could he? I mean after all the promises I made to you? What a hypocrite! A loser.." I yelled out loud, reminding Anita of the old days when we would come here and scream at the people we were angry at.
I helped her up on her feet and into my car. I was ready for a fight, and Alex was gonna get one from me.
We stopped at his mansion. Anita became all tears again from just the sight of it. As we both stepped in, I rang the doorbell multiple times before I was answered.
Alex was the one who opened the door, and beside him was a young lady- the fucking home breaker. I thought inwardly.
"Anita… what the fuck are you doing here? I thought…"
"You thought what you fucking hypocrite!" I yelled out loud and landed a heavy blow on his chin. Another punch and he fell on the floor while the bitch of a mistress ran backward to hide.
"How dare you, Alex. How dare you hurt and….'.
Suddenly, I felt a very serious pain in my chest. I was expecting it to disappear as the rest had, but no. It didn't. Instead, it soon became unbearable for me to handle and I fell to the floor.
"Emily!" I heard Anita's voice as she ran towards me. I was finding it hard to breathe, and the pain was only becoming worse. What does this mean?
Was Tyler with another woman? I couldn't believe it, so I discarded the thought and passed out immediately.
EmilyI opened my eyes soon afterward to meet Anita seated by my side. She was holding my hands. "Emily, you're awake." I let out a smile as I saw her. "How long have I been out, and what happened?" I questioned.I have no idea, but the doctor said it's just a little pain. You'll be fine. A tear fell from her eyes. "It wasn't just an ordinary pain Anita, I know what I felt."She nodded her head in agreement. "I know.""Tyler's on his way here. I called him earlier, but Emily, we need to talk. What you felt earlier, I felt it too the day Alex started cheating on me. I didn't believe it at first cause I knew Alex would never do that to me, but as the pain became worse and unbearable, I confronted him and he confessed."I shook my head in negation. "That's not possible. You're mistaken." There was no fucking way I would believe Tyler was cheating on me with someone else."Don't just sit back and let the pain worsen. You need to fight and find out what exactly is happening. In the meantim
TYLER:I laid down on the couch thinking about Emily. What have I done? It was all a fucking mistake and I shouldn't have let it happen. I was worried about her.I walked out of the house, waiting outside, but there was still no sign of her. Could she be in danger? How could I have let myself get used up?I tried to mind-link her, but she kept stopping me from reaching her. I knew it was an intentional act, and it was making me mad at everything."Honey, why are you still up this late?" I turned back to stare at my mom when I heard her and immediately looked away. She caused all of this, she fucking caused it all."Not now mom, I need to go look for my wife," I said."Your wife? Which wife? The witch you kept in your house as a wife? Grow up Tyler and open your eyes before it's too late."I shut my eyes tight and clutched my hands because I didn't want to lose my mind. "Don't call my wife a witch, mom. Don't disrespect her cause she's still my wife and Luna of my pack. She deserves yo
EMILYA Few Weeks Later.I woke up with body aches all over, and I didn't bother to step out of the room until 12pm in the afternoon. When I stepped out of my room, I began hearing giggling noises. I didn't need anyone to tell me what was going on.I walked down the stairs to meet Tyler and Karen seated on the longest couch. She laid down resting her head on his legs.I ignored them and walked towards the fridge to get myself a glass of water. As soon as I picked up the jug and a glass, I heard the devil's voice."Not there young lady." Karen said.I turned to stare at her untill she was standing right in front of me. She collected the glass from my hand and smashed it on the floor. "What the fuck are you doing?" I yelled at her."Don't you fucking use what's mine. You saw so many glasses and you choose this one." She yelled at me. I cocked my head towards Tyler's position.For a week now, I felt like his love for me completely vanished. He had talked me into accepting Karen and afte
EMILY:How would the world treat you when you have no worth any longer. For me, I thought I had built a family here in the midnight pack, but I was wrong.With just a single false accusation, everything drastically changed. No one gave me the respect I deserved as their Luna. It was all over for me.I was still healing from the lashes of three days ago. My body doesn't hurt anymore, but my heart does, and even my unborn child hates his father.I was staring at myself in the mirror. Since the last three days, Tyler has completely changed. He doesn't even look me in the eyes, and he still believes I tried to hurt his child.Everyday, I want to tell him about my baby too, but I can't. There was a loud bang on my door. I rushed towards it and opened it."Follow me." It was Karen speaking."Can you stay away from me? I don't want to have anything to do with you." I replied her and just when I was about to slam the door to her face, she held it and yanked my hair."Don't mess with me bitch.
Emily:I took two steps backwards. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, or who was standing right in front of me. "Am I dead?" Tears rolled down my eyes as I asked, with my hands trembling as I spoke.I had no idea where I was before, but now I do."What about my baby, am I really dead?" I definitely had no idea how I died, or how I came to this place. It felt like I had been walking for ages. "I can't be dead… I.."She came close to me and laid two of her fingers on my forehead. I gasped for air, raising my head high up as my veins turned visible. When she let go, my weak legs made me fall on the floor, and tears rolled down my eyes. I remembered everything."I'm dead. I really am dead."I curled my hands on the floor, whimpering. "This can't be, I can't be dead. I don't deserve to die, especially when I had a little pup inside of me."I went on my knees"I was innocent. If you existed all this time, why did you let me get accused wrongly? You knew I was innocent, and you didn't fi
"No! No! Noooooooooo!" I jerked up from the bed in a hurry with beads of sweats falling from my forehead. I saw her in my dream, Emily.I stared at the other side of the bed and found out I was all alone. Tyler. I called in a hurry as I couldn't find him. I was suddenly scared of everything. I needed to be strong, but it was possible. Scared of being alone in the room, I rose up from the bed and rushed out of the room."Tyler? Tyler?" I called his name severally as I walked down the stairs, but there was no response. As I came down to the living room, I met him slouching on the longest couch with a bottle of alcohol on the table, a glass half filled with thr drink and Emily's picture lying right beside him.I was suddenly filled with anger and I rushed towards him. I grabbed the portrait from him and smashed it on the floor, angrily using my legs to step on it."What the fuck is wrong with you.?" I yelled."What are you doing?" He yelled back."I'm doing what I'm meant to do, Tyler. F
EMILY:As soon as the young lady walked away, I released the breath I had been holding the entire time. I was so relieved she didn't see me else I might just die for a second time.I slowly tiptoed towards the lifeless body of her friend and stared down at her..~What a cruel bitch.~I squatted towards her. "I'm so sorry you had to die this way, and I could do nothing, but next time, and in your next life, don't trust people. They only end up betraying you for another person in the end."I was telling that to myself as well. I slowly began pulling off her clothes. Her jeans pants were still good enough for me to wear, and her jean jacket wasn't too soaked in blood. After putting on the clothes that were still good enough, I wore her shoes and stared at myself.I wasn't looking quite bad. I started walking towards a direction I wasn't familiar with. My legs just kept moving and at some point, I wanted to stop walking but I couldn't.I had no money, not even a penny to get food or cloth
Christian:Her velvet eyes got me wondering if I had seen those eyes before. When I looked at her, I felt like she was also feeling the same with me. The pull was pretty strong, but I could definitely control it My eyes scanned her body and I felt my wolf and I undressing her already. I fluttered my brows and immediately looked away before she would even notice anything.Leo, my wolf was pretty naughty. He literally loves everything under skirt, and with the way I was feeling, it was obvious what he wanted me to do next was pretty impossible. When I looked at her eyes again, I had this feeling she was different and not like every other lady out there."I need your help. They're after me, please."I arch my brows, and took a step away from her. We suddenly heard noises around the bushes."Can you run?" I questioned her, and she nodded her head in response. I found myself holding her hand. "How fast are you?" She didn't reply. "Who are they?""I have no idea." She replied."3, run." I
AUTHOR’S POV.“Please just stay still babe,” Tyler uttered as he got down from his car and headed straight for the back seat where Karen lay.He opened the car door quickly and wrapped Karen around his hands while he rushed as fast as his legs could carry him inside. “Somebody please help, my wife, is in labor,” Tyler yelled out. Dr. Grace and her team of nurses arrived with haste, quickly relieving Tyler of Karen's weight and transferring her to a wheeled stretcher. In no time, the procession quickly carried Karen away.“Just sit here sir, I assure you, she will be fine,” Grace mentioned before leaving for Karen's ward. Tyler felt his heart beat so fast and hard. As he sat on the visitors' seats, he could hear Karen's loud groan from the operating room. He sprang to his feet, his eyes burning with anxiety as he began to pace around the room. In a moment of desperation, he closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, silently asking the moon goddess for a positive outcome.“Ple
CHRISTIAN’S POV.“Let's talk outside,” I said to Blake as he glanced at me. “Stay here Lilith,” I whispered, placing her back on the visitor's seat. I walked outside immediately while Blake trailed behind me. The air practically crackled with my anger as I faced Blake, my hands clenching into fists at my sides itching to strike him.“Why, Blake?” I snarled. “Why would you break my sister’s heart?”. He kept his gaze trained on the floor, remaining silent.“Look at me!” I shouted, my voice laced with contempt. “Tell me why you did it! Do you have any idea what she's been through?”Finally, Blake looked up, his expression one of shame and regret. “I’m sorry, Christian,” he murmured, his voice barely audible.My blood boiled at the sight of his pathetic attempt at an apology.“Sorry?” I spat, my eyes blazing with rage. “You think that’s enough? Mia sacrificed herself to save you, even after everything you did to her, and all you can say is I’m sorry?”I could feel my hands trembling, a
TYLER'S POV.I sat next to Blake and Christian's cousin, Lilith. As I looked down at her, her little eyes were swollen already. “Hey, are you okay?” I questioned but she didn't even blink an eye to show that she was alright. “they’re going to be okay.” I declared. I inhaled a deep breath and shut my eyes deeply, calling the moment Emily was being stabbed. Christian had been furious and controlled by his anger. Maybe I wasn't the one Emily deserved it be with, after all, maybe Christian was her real mate. The way he sliced Talia's throat within the blink of an eye proved how much he loved and cared about Emily. Truly, Christian was the greatest and most powerful lycan that had ever existed. He fought with full strength and emotions and no one could ever defeat him. He would always win every single battle that came his way because he was born of Lycan blood.I opened my eyes wide as soon as I heard Christian’s voice. He walked out of a room that had a short description of “staff
CHRISTIAN’S POV I stood frozen unable to take my gaze off Emily as she dropped down to the floor. I could feel my heart beating so fast and I couldn't breathe well anymore.My crawls came running out of my fingers and I felt like I wasn't in control of myself anymore. I was still in human form but fur grew slowly on my face. “We can now be together Chris.” I heard Talia's voice. With annoyance, I sped off where she stood and grabbed her neck tightly. You're such a monster.” I barked. “It's time for you to leave this earth as well.” I declared as my grip on her neck worsened. “Please Christian, I did this for our love.” Talia cried out but it only worsened the pain even more.I wasn't in control anymore and the moment my eyes gleamed again, I slit her throat with my fingers and threw her lifeless body far away. Tears dropped down from my eyes as I averted my gaze back to where Emily lay on the floor.Lilith sat close to her, holding her hand tightly. I felt a drop of water on my
AUTHOR’S POV.Christian arrived at the imposing building and immediately stomped through the front door, in annoyance. His frustration grew when he was interrogated by a group of bodyguards who searched his body for weapons. Finding nothing, they finally ushered him into a large, cold room where he spotted Mia and Emily bound to chairs.With a swift motion, Christian freed them from their restraints, but before they could even thank him, a familiar figure entered the room.His blood ran cold instantly as I recognized the pale, arrogant features of Roland and some others. Roland stood before them, and his eyes narrowed in anticipation.“Ah, Christian,” he drawled, his voice dripping with false cordiality. “I’m so glad you could join us.”“Let us go,” Christian snapped, his anger barely contained. “You’ve no right to hold us captive like this..” “On the contrary,” Roland replied with a widening smile. “You decided not to yield to our warnings. Why don't you just join me and the othe
TYLER’S POV.I opened my eyes and sat straight up on the bed. I felt very different and somehow happy. I wasn't going to lay in bed throughout the day because Karen was here now. With a deep breath, I stood to my feet and walked straight to the bathroom. Karen had woken up early and left my room. I washed up a little and stepped out of my room quickly. While I took the staircase, I spotted Mia and Emily standing in the living room and it seemed like they were both waiting for me. “Hey, good morning,” I uttered as I walked towards where they both stood. “Morning,” Karen responded first, and then Emily. “I need your help Tyler, I need to warn Christian about Alpha Damon's plans and help with fighting every single person that's after him,” Emily said. I glanced at her for a moment and as our eyes locked, I could feel the pain within her. She was really worried about Christian. She still had the same sparkling eyeballs. All I could see right now was my Emily from a few months ago.
EMILY'S POV.I held Lilith's hand firmly while Mia stood next to me. We waited outside for a few minutes until when Karen arrived. “Hey, Emily.” She waved from afar. I turned to face Mia and began to speak. “Alright Mia, the one thing I need you to do right now is to get to the plane safely with Lilith,” I ordered and bent to Lilith's level. “I'll see you soon baby, mummy can't go with you now,” I said, rising straight up. “What about you Emily,” Mia questioned.I smiled warmly at her and cuddled her tightly. “I have something urgent to do right now.” With that, I turned quickly to meet Karen.We both stepped out of the airport glass door and walked straight to Karen's car. As we climbed in, Karen turned on the engine and we drove to Tyler's place quickly. ________________TYLER’S POV. I sat on the sofa with my attention fully drawn to Zane as he stood opposite me. “If that would be the case, then I must meet with all my pack members.” I declared and shut my eyes, relaxing more
“Are you sure I shouldn't tag along?” Lisa asked as she brushed Karen's hair smoothly. “I'll be alright Lisa, you don't need to worry too much”. Karen assured her.For a while, she glanced at the mirror before her and smiled. Lisa had made sure she looked beautiful before she was finally going to see Tyler today. “I'm just saying bestie, you shouldn't just trust anyone that easily especially your husband's ex-wife.”Karen heaved deeply as soon as she heard Lisa's words. “There is absolutely nothing to worry about besides, Emily had finally moved on and she has a family of her own now. so we are both helping ourselves out.”Karen paused and held Lisa's hand gently. “I know you care so much about me but I think it is the right time to leave your place now.”“I'm not complaining Karen.” Lisa's tone was soft and low as she darted her gaze to the floor.“Yeah, I know but still, thank you so much for everything Lisa you are the best.” After that, Karen pulled herself up and came closer to
AUTHOR'S POV.“Kill her!.” Tyler heard one of the men's voices. A smirk crept at the corner of her lips as she began to walk to and fro.“Is this mainly because I followed you here or because I caught you strangling that patient until he passed out?” questioned and they both glanced at each other.Tyler turned her gaze to them and then back to the floor. She began to speak. “From the look of things, I know who you both are after and I'm willing to help you,” she uttered and smiled warmly.“I could make Christian finally come to you on a condition that you get rid of that slot that's always with him.” As Talia spoke, they both raised their brows in surprise.“Do you mean the doctor from earlier?” One of them mentioned and Talia nodded ahead happily.“Yeah, Emily!” She exclaimed. “However, I do have a very good plan and if you are willing to join hands with me, then it shall be carried out the day after tomorrow.” Talia watched silently as one of them drew close to where she stood and
