Alex's pov
It's only 9 am but I'm so ready for bed. I couldn't sleep even before Emma turned up in my room last night but after she left I had more chance of growing wings than getting any rest and now I'm paying for it. I still don't understand what the fuck happened last night, one minute we were getting ready to talk everything over and I was going to tell Emma how I feel then the next minute I'm left in the hallway watching the woman I love walk away while I'm left standing there holding panties, where the fuck did they even come from?
"you look like shit!"
"We can't all wake up looking as handsome as you now can we!" Noah's laughter fills the kitchen as he slaps me on the back before taking the seat next to me.
"what's up brother? I take it you haven't sorted things with my sister yet?" if only.
"no I haven't, she turned up at my room at 2 am this morning and agreed to talk but it didn't end well!" I roughly rub my eyes attempting t
Alex's pov The moment I hear Levi and Logan I feel a huge relief I've missed those guys and the fact that they have my back even though they don't know what's going on means so much to me and I'll make sure they know it. Stacey is instantly angry and I have to bite back the laugh that tries to spill out at the look on her face. "FINE! I set Alex up ok, I set you both up. The day I told you that my jacket and panties were in his room, I set it all up. While Alex was in the shower I snuck into his room, hid my panties under his bed as a gift for him and got naked. Of course, he continued to fight his feelings so when he made me leave I thought I would help him out and get you away from him by letting you know about the panties and I left my jacket there on purpose too, although I didn't plan on him bringing my jacket straight out to me so you can imagine my happiness when he did and it made the plan look all the more real!" "you fucking bitch!" Savannah s
Emma's pov I can't believe Alex told me he loves me, he's actually in love with me and hell if I don't feel like the luckiest she-wolf alive right now. I love him too but I didn't tell him, as much as I believe that he does in fact love me I'm still too scared to tell him how I feel, I will but just not yet. I don't want to mess this up, I don't want Alex to be a brief relationship, I want him for the long haul, chosen mate, marriage, children, everything. Before we had a chance to talk anymore my dad linked me to go and talk to him about what happened yesterday in the forest and Alex insisted he come with me, all this talk with Alex had made me forget about Jay but now everything that happened yesterday is flooding straight back to me and I fucking hate the feeling that it's given me. "you ok sweetheart?" I look up to catch Alex looking down at me with nothing but concern on his face and I realise we are outside my dad's office and I've been in a trance the
Emma's pov "I'm not bothered about doing anything em, after what Callum did, it doesn't feel right!" "your birthday has fuck all to do with Callum or what he did and I'm not going to say it again. Your 18 tomorrow Emily it's a huge birthday, you may even find your mate and we're not letting it pass by without celebrating, end of discussion!" I arranged for Emily and me to be paired during training this morning so I could talk her into celebrating her 18th birthday tomorrow, it was a favour to Savannah because Emily won't listen to her but I agree with Savannah and I mean every word I say to Emily, she's not Callum and I'm not going to stand by while she ruins her big day over someone who's not even here anymore. "are you two training or talking?" Levi's voice breaks through our chat but I don't miss the amused look on his face. "we're talking!" Emily bites back a giggle that Levi doesn't miss. "more training less talk
Alex's pov 3 more hours until my date with Emma, 3 more hours. On one hand, it doesn't seem that far away but on the other, it feels like days but either way I can't wait! I'm honestly so excited for tonight that I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. I've spent most of this afternoon double checking all of my plans and making sure every last detail is perfect for tonight because nothing can go wrong. I'm pretty confident that it won't be still I can't shake these nervous butterflies from swarming my stomach. "Alex, can you come to my office please son?" Jake's voice echoes through my head as I'm heading inside the packhouse, I let him know I'll be right up but I'm so distracted by all the thoughts invading my head today that I don't pay attention to where I'm going and walk straight bang into Noah, shit! "If you wanted a hug you only had to say brother!" Noah's cheeky comment and smile very quickly pulls me back to reality as I greet him with my mid
Emma's pov"wow em, you look incredible!" the one thing I love about Savannah is her honesty and right now I need it more than anything."Are you sure I look ok Sav, I've never been on a first date before, I want to look the best I can!""and you do, Alex is going to pass out when he sees you!" I know she means every word she says and I'm grateful for the small bound of confidence it is giving me but I don't think anything will help ease the nerves that are tearing through my body.I'm ready for my date with Alex and in all honestly, I am shitting myself, I've never been out on a first date before and I'm just praying I don't make a fool of myself. I've been with savannah and Emily all afternoon we went to get our nails done and some new clothes but mainly Sav has to spend the afternoon teaching me everything she can think of about first dates which was a great help but it seems the closer I get to the date the more I forget everything she has
Emma's pov We arrive in town and Alex pulls into the car park of a very nice looking restaurant, I've never been here but I've heard of it and it's known to be very nice and very expensive. In the 10 minutes it's taking us to drive here all my nervousness has disappeared, we have talked and laughed all the way here and Alex has made me feel so relaxed that I now feel silly for feeling so nervous all day. We enter the restaurant and after Alex gives his name we are taken to a table that overlooks the beach and it is beautiful. "This place is beautiful Alex!" he smiles at me while agreeing and I feel my stomach dip with nerves again and my insides stir with something else as I check him out for the fifth time since I saw him at the packhouse. He's wearing grey suit trousers with a white shirt and grey jacket, the top two buttons of his shirt are open and his hair is up in a tight man bun and fuck he looks unbelievable, he looks so hot and I know I'm
Emma's pov Tonight has been incredible, we have laughed and flirted all through food, we ordered way too much and there was a lot of leftovers but Alex asked for a doggy bag and ended up with a whole bag full. He's been a true gentleman to me all evening and I don't ever remember a time where I've been treated this way even down to the small things like opening the car door for me and restaurant door, no one has ever done that for me before and it honestly felt incredible. "do you mind a little detour?" we are walking along the sidewalk when Alex suddenly stops and I almost topple over him. "sure, I don't mind!" he graces me with his beautiful smile before slipping his hand into mine and interlocking our fingers and pulling me down a narrow road and towards an ally way. "a lot of homeless people sleep down here, I come here once or twice a week and drop of some food to them, it seemed wrong to leave this food go to waste, if we had left th
future Alpha Levi's pov This business with Jay was already a mind fuck but now I've supposedly had a text of Callum, I don't know what the fuck is going on but I intend on finding out. Someone has got to be fucking with us but why? as far as I know the pack doesn't have any enemies at the moment and neither has me or Emma but none of this makes sense, there has to be someone behind this. "Log where are you?" "I'm playing football with Noah, what's up?" "can you two meet me at dads office?" "yeah sure thing brother, we're on our way!" I close the link to Logan before linking my dad to check where he is, thankfully for me he's already in his office so I head straight up, they need to know about the text I got and I need to talk this out before I go out of my mind. "come in son!" As always my dad knows I'm here before I've even knocked on the door. I head inside and his smile instantly turns sour when he sees me, I'm shi
Beta Alex's pov "YOU FUCKING WHAT?" I shout out at the doc as I fight to hold Nate back as the doc starts to remove my mate's shorts. "I believe Beta Emma may be in labour!" I look at Emma and I know that the shock on her face resembles mine, a yelp pulls my face away from Emma's only to be met by Sophia's shocked face as she puts her hand over her mouth. "Huh, how, what, I don't understand!" Emma stumbles out the words and I'm right there with her, the doc goes to remove Emma's panties but my hand flies out and stops him without me even realising it. "it's ok Alex, let the doc do his job baby!" Emma's small voice chimes in my ears as I see her squeeze her eyes shut and breathe through the pain, I nod towards the doc but I don't take my eyes off what he's doing. "Holly moon goddess!" Doc shouts out and I'm straight by his side looking at the same view as him but I'm not sure what it is I'm seeing and doc quickly picks up on this. "That's t
4 months laterBeta Emma's pov"How's it going with my brother's Em?""Really good, I didn't think it could work with it being so soon but they are so kind and patient with me!" Her beaming smile brings on my own and I'm so happy for her and the twins.Emily started warrior training again two months ago and I'm so glad that she did because every day I see her slowly getting back to herself and it's amazing to see and it must feel incredible for her."Ahh!" I bend over as pain slices through my stomach, It's the third time it's happened since training started 15 minutes ago and I'm starting to get a little worried that something's is wrong."Emma, what's wrong?" I feel Emily's hand come down on my back as I'm bent over breathing through the pain, seconds later I smell the scent of my mate and then his face appears in front of mine as he gets down on his haunches in front of me."Baby what's wrong?" Finally, the pain p
Beta Alex's pov After our shower and mind-blowing sex, we finally managed to get washed up and now we're both getting ready for what I have planned. It's our last night here tonight and I want to end it on a high so with the help of our warrior's Jonah and Jacob I managed to pull this together last minute. "What should I wear?" Emma has been looking at her clothes for the last 20 minutes deciding what to wear and trying to get me to tell her where we are going or what we are doing so that she'll know what to wear but I'm not caving here so instead I decide to help her another way. I walk up behind her looking at her clothes before leaning forwards and pulling out a white knee-length dress, I've seen her wear it a couple of times and she looks fucking fantastic in it! "This is perfect!" I hand it to her but she doesn't say anything just smiles and heads towards her shoes. She's not dull and knows exactly why I choose her dress but as always
Beta Emma's pov I feel so relaxed as the sun beams down on my back that I could fall asleep at any second, I pull my sunglasses down a little bit and check out my mate as he sits next to me on his sun lounger reading his book, he's only wearing his swimming trunks and looks hot as fuck! "You finished checking me out yet mate?" I pull the glasses off of my face fully and give him a cheesy grin feeling no embarrassed from being caught, he's my mate so I'm allowed to check him out as much as I want plus he's hot as fuck so why wouldn't I? "Nope!" He lets out a low laugh before shooting me a wink and as always I feel the effects work their way through my body. "Fancy some more snorkelling?" "Yes!" I beam out causing him to laugh again. I'd never been snorkelling before Alex brought me two days ago but I loved it and I'm more than happy to do it again. It's been 4 days since we arrived at the cabin, 4 days of the beach, hi
Beta Alex's pov "I want you to pair up, we are practising attack and defence today!" I bellow out to the warriors in my class which include my girl. It's been just over a month since Noah's death and it's been incredibly hard, the whole pack has felt the effects of his death and as much as Jake has struggled poor Sophia really couldn't cope and was close to having a breakdown so Jake has taken her away for a little while in the hope it will do her some good. They have been gone a week and from what we can see from when we have face timed them Sophia definitely seems to be improving already but I have a feeling it will be a while until they are back home. Emma hid away for a while but I made her come to training 5 days ago and thankfully she was grateful for it and has kept coming since and for the first time since the attack both Mia and Josh have come to warrior training this morning and I'm proud of them for it. As you can imagine they have
Beta Alex's pov "He's your what?" Sophia stutters out from across the room grabbing everyone's attention. "If I'm right, Theo is my brother mom, my baby brother from before I came to live here!" "I don't understand!" Jake says as he and Sophia walk towards us and fuck am I glad that I'm not the only one confused here! "Wait, when you came here you told us about your family. I remember you said that you had a twin sister Ella and a little brother..." Sophia seems shocked as she relives the past. "Theodore!" Jake shouts out seeming to finish Sophia's sentence for her but also in a state of shock. "Theodore?" I look to Emma the name coming from my lips as a question. "Theodore was my brother's name but I always called him Theo bear and he always called me bunny because I loved rabbits and he always called Ella." "Ella terror," Theo says before she finishes her sentence. "Because she wa
Beta Alex's povIt's been 2 weeks since Noah's death and things are still raw but I know from personal experience that this isn't something that's going to just go away, you never get over losing the people that you love but you just learn to live with it somehow. Some days are harder than others but day by day slowly things are starting to get back into a routine.The day after the battle we managed to get final numbers on deaths and it turns out that we lost four more wolves than we first thought, 11 of our pack members were lost that day and the effects are still being felt just as strong.They were someone's son or daughter and someone's sister or brother. Some of them were mates and parents and they will always be honoured at this pack. Two days after the battle we held a funeral for Noah, Tim, Zac, Cory and Jenny and a memorial for Lewis, Kyle, Hailey, Paddy, Elsa and Scott and we've also got a bench with their names on it in Emma's sunflower g
Beta Alex's pov We walk through the last of the forest and into the clearing in front of the packhouse, no one has said a word while we have walked back. The twins took the lead while Josh is walking behind everyone and despite being offered help he insisted on being the one to carry Noah's body home while Emma has walked numbly next to me while I've tugged her along. I hear noise and look up to see Sophia, Jake, Savannah and Mia all coming out of the packhouse looking both relieved and worried. We haven't spoken to any of them as we all agreed that this isn't something that should be said over link but Mia would have felt incredible pain when Noah died so at the very least they will assume that either he or Josh are hurt. There is a small bit of hope across their faces and it kills me to see it because clearly, they are still hoping for a miracle when in reality Jake and Sophia are about to find out that they have lost their youngest son and Mia
Beta Emma's pov We get to the exit and the pain-filled screams are making the hairs on my arms stand up, the relief that I felt when Noah and the guys came in to rescue us was gone the moment we were told that Levi, kyle and Lewis are missing and at the moment we don't even know if Logan and the other men have come back yet, there's a possibility that they are all missing and it's making my stomach turn with worry. We make it outside and the place is a bloodbath, never in my life have I seen so much blood and the moment that we are spotted wolves come straight at us. Alex gives my hand a gentle squeeze and we share a quick look before we get into a fighting stance ready to protect ourselves. We both know there's a chance that we won't get out of here alive but I've waited long enough to be his mate and I ain't about to give in easily and I'm pretty sure that he's thinking the same thing. A wolf comes at me but I manage to shift into my wolf before he re
