Future Alpha Levi's pov
3 days and my brother and I take over as the Alphas of this pack and fuck it's scary. Don't get me wrong I know we are both more than ready to take over, we've been training our whole lives for this moment but fuck if it ain't daunting. Our dad is one incredible man and Alpha, he looks after the whole pack like family and has a great standing with other packs and Alphas and to know we will have all that to uphold in just 3 short days does get me a little nervous.
I've not slept a full night since Emily has been missing and neither has Logan and it's slowly starting to catch up with us both so we decided to skip training today and after the meeting head to bed for a few hours to try and grab some sleep as we are both running search parties tonight.
By the time I get into my bedroom, I'm too tired to even take off my clothes and instead opt for face planting my bed the moment I get near it. I turn on my side and grab my pillow to cudd
Emma's povToday is the day of the Alpha ceremony and I must admit I am looking forward to it, things have been an absolute nightmare around here these past few weeks and I can't wait to blow off some steam. Well everything has been a nightmare aside from me and Alex that is, our relationship is incredibly strong considering its only been a few weeks and despite it only being 4 days since we marked each other the mate bond is strong already and I couldn't be anymore happier with how things are between us."You ready sweetheart?" Alex calls out to me from the bedroom while I'm in the closet just finishing up getting ready for the day. Usually, on the day of a ball, the girls will head into town for hair and nail appointments but because Savannah needs to take it easy we thought it would be best to arrange someone to come out to the house to see to us but, of course, Savannah being her usual stubborn self wouldn't have any of it and gilt tripped us all into g
Emma’s povAlmost 2 hours later and we are all ready. Savannah isn't happy with how she looks, she's convinced that she looks like a whale but she looks absolutely beautiful and I'm shocked when I feel a little pang of envy in me, it's not because she's pregnant because I'm honestly so happy for her and I can't wait to be an auntie but I think I want that too and it scares me because yes I want pups one day with Alex but we have only been together for a few weeks and I was not expecting to get these thoughts anytime soon.Savannah has a beautiful blue gown dress on with flat pumps, full makeup and her hair is pulled back into an elegant bun. Paige has a baby pink of the shoulder dress with white high heels, full makeup and her hair has been straightened and left down. Mia has gone with a while ballgown that hugs her from the waist up and flows down to the floor from the waist. she has full makeup and her hair is up in a sleek ponytail that not many people c
Beta Alex's pov Emily? She takes another step towards us before looking up slightly and it's without a doubt Emily but what the fuck has happened to her? She is naked, dirty and I swear I can smell blood in the air. She's got her arms wrapped around herself and she's shaking so hard I'm surprised she can stand up and I instantly feel anger burn through my veins, this girl is like a little sister to me and I'm going to tear apart whoever ever has done this to her! "MATE MINE!" My head shoots to the left of me when I hear the words and the confusion that's on both Levi and Logan's faces as they growl out the words is mirrored on everyone else's too. Holy fuck! "Mate mine!" Emily whispers the words out and if it wasn't for werewolf earing there's no way anyone would have heard her. "Emily, what happened to you?" Levi talks gently to her as he slowly takes a step towards her but stops when she cowers away from him. "Please
Beta Emma's pov It's been two days since Emily returned home. After the doc had seen her, she wanted to go to her house and no one has seen her since. She's texted Savannah, Mia and me a few times but even then she's barely said a word and everyone is insanely worried about her. The twins are barely hanging on, their wolfs are fighting them constantly and all they want to do is help her. I spoke with Emily last night and managed to get her to agree to meet with the twins today, she wants me and my mom there the whole time as she is still too nervous about being on her own with any man but the twins were more than happy for us to be there, they would happily agree to anything that she wanted, they just want to see her and talk to her. I'm waiting outside the lounge for Emily with my mom and I suddenly feel nervous. What do I say to her? How do I approach her? She's been through so much and the last thing I want to do is to say or do something to upset he
Emily's povThe moment the twins step into the room Holly starts purring in my head, my heart starts pounding and despite all the pain and fear that I feel all I want to do is run to them and feel the comfort that only my mate can give me, that my mates can give me but I can't, the fear is too strong and it's not just that, the reality is they may not even want me. Why would they? I'm just an Omega and they are Alphas.I've never been a strong Omega but right now I'm weaker than ever or at least I feel weaker than ever and I know that there's a huge chance of them rejecting me which is why I agreed to see them today. If they are going to reject me then I want them to do it now while I'm already hurting, that way I can just deal with all the pain at once.I put my attention back on to the twins as they stand over the other side of the room, both looking at me but none of them saying anything. I quickly realise that I am being rude as I should have stood whe
Emily's pov As soon as I finish speaking I break down but Emma quickly pulls me into her chest and gently rubs my back. "I'm so proud of you Emily!" She whispers in my ear and I hold on to them words and try with all I have to ignore the growls that are coming from the twins. This is it now they will end it. "Emily...Emily, please look at us." Logan sounds like he's pleading with me and I'll be honest, it was the last thing I was expecting and I start to doubt that I'm even hearing them right. Emma slowly pulls away from me but holds on to my hand While I look down at my lap and I freeze.I can't look up nor can I look at them because the moment I do I know it's all over. My first mate rejected me and once the twins reject me it will be the end of me ever having a mate and as much as I'm glad that my first mate rejected me and as much as I don't blame the twins for doing it, it still hurts. All I've ever wanted is to find my mate and have a family
Beta Emma's pov I'm so happy that Emily and my brothers are going to figure things out, I know that they will be good to her with everything that has gone on and I know that she will come through everything because she is incredibly strong. It may seem small but even watching a horror movie just days after she came home just shows how strong she is and I know that everyone in this room is proud of her. I also didn't miss her holding hands with both of my brothers during the movie and again that's another sign of her strength because I know inside she would feel terrified of close contact with any men right now including her mates but still, she's pushing herself to try and my brothers are being incredible in giving her space and respecting her needs. The movie ends with Mia hiding her face in Noah's chest and me doing the same with Alex while Emily is covering her eyes and Levi and Logan both fight not to comfort her. Someone puts the lights on and I fi
Beta Emma's pov "Baby, baby wake up!" I'm slowly being dragged from my sleep and I feel seriously tired and groggy, I groan out not happy with being woken. Surely I haven't been sleeping that long?"Baby I need you to wake up!" I slowly open one eye to see Alex leaning over me, he looks as fucked as I feel but I can see a hint of excitement in his eyes, what's going on? "What's wrong?" I sit up and rub my eyes trying to clear some of the sleep away but before I can say anything Alex speaks again. "Savannah's in labour, Theo has asked if we can go up." As soon as he finishes talking I bounce out of bed, a giant bubble of excitement but I can't help it, Savannah is in labour and I'm fucking excited! "come on Al, let's go!" I eagerly pull on his arm while he laughs at my behaviour but I don't care we're about to become an auntie and uncle and I can't fricking wait! We quickly get dressed and head for the Gamma floor bumping into my mom and dad on th
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
