Alex's pov
"I have proof of the injuries that she came back home with and I also have one incredible warrior who is willing to come out here and talk to you herself, but before she does I am warning you now if one member of your pack makes so much as a step towards her I will rip their throat out!"
"no one in my pack will go anywhere near her, I just want to hear this from her mouth, I've come to know Jessie well over the last 3 weeks and I'll be able to tell for myself if she is lying to me!"
"be ready to guard Jessie." a link from Jake silences my thoughts and I see all the guys plus Mia and Emma nodding in agreeance. Silence sweeps across the crowd then just a few moments later Jessie starts making her way towards us surrounded by guards, once they reach us they step back and we take over surrounding her with me and Noah taking the front. Jessie looks towards her mate and the fear is clear to see across her face but I know that Alpha C
Emma's povAfter Alpha Christian and his pack leave through the forest the relief floods through everyone at the result that we got, Jessie gets to stay here safe, no one needed to fight and it was clear to see that Alpha Christian will be punishing that bastard Beta for the treatment he brought upon Jessie and I hope he gets everything he deserves because it was clear to see that he has no regrets for his behaviour.I walk up to Alex and wrap my arms around his waist and I know my excitement is pouring out of me but I don't care, today we got the best results we could have hoped for and best of all I finally got my man. Alex is officially mine and I feel like the luckiest she-wolf alive.Before I can say anything to him we are both distracted by sudden growls coming across the field and I look up to see Jonah and Jacob heading our way looking slightly confused but there's also a determined look on their faces and now I'm instantly confused.T
Emma's pov "How the fuck has this happened?" Levi has been bellowing out his frustration for the last 20 minutes which I get but fuck I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my goddess-given blessing of being able to hear soon if he doesn't calm down and don't get me started on Logan, he has been just as bad and it resulted in Noah taking him out of the room 5 minutes ago because we all feared that he was only minutes from shifting. After Alex told me that there was a chance that Emily had been found we both run with everything we had back to the warrior building before we all headed up to uncle Peter's office to phone Theo. Unfortunately for us, Emily hasn't been found but what's worse is that the guys who were supposed to be watching the abandoned house where it was suspected she was being hidden in only went and fell asleep, waking up 2 hours later and finding the place completely empty. "I'm so sorry this has happened guys!" I look back at the lapto
Alex's pov We arrived back at the packhouse early this morning and Jake called a meeting straight away to discuss the situation with Emily. He's currently sitting behind his massive desk with Luna Sophia on his lap but he's looking tired and worn out and I know he's counting down the days until he hands the Alpha title over to the twins. Speaking of the twins they are sitting on either side of him still as angry now as they were last night. Noah's sitting to Levi's right while Beta kyle and Gamma Sean are sitting to Logan's left. Thomas, Theo, and I are sitting at the front of the desk, and considering the fact that there are currently 9 men in this room, it's insanely quiet. Emma wanted to go and check on Savannah so I told her I'd update her on anything new later on but if I'm being honest I don't think she's gone to see Savannah or maybe she has but it won't be the only place that she will go. From the moment I saw her by the bonf
Emma's povI let out a gasp and he looks straight at me before winking and my head starts spinning as the realization hits me hard. How can this be possible? My life has literally been in this man's hands on more than one occasion and not once have I ever doubted him but now everything is pointing to him being the one that I've been looking for. He's the one taking part in trying to destroy me and Emily and I'll be fucked if I can make sense of this right now but I need to.I need to figure out all of this mess and I need to do it fast. I don't want to believe that he's the one doing this, that he's a part of torturing my family but right now the evidence is right in front of me and it's chilling..."wakey wakey bitch!" I'm pulled from my sleep by a link and my mind may be clouded with tiredness but I know straight away who it is, this is the 4th night in a row that it has happened and I hate every single moment."I'm awake.""Good, now get y
Alex's pov "what if he doesn't have her come out here tonight Alex? what if he has something else planned?" Nate whines out in my head, his voice full of concern and anger at this situation. "he will Nate, dull fucks like him always think that they are one step ahead when it comes to these kinds of things but the truth is they haven't got a fucking clue what they are doing, and considering the bloodline that twat has he should be so much better than this!" he grunts out a replay that I struggle to understand before he retreats to the back of my head. For the past 3 nights, Emma has been brought out here to meet the minion that's dishing out the demands he's been set by his puppet master and what a good little minion he is trying to be. He thinks he's clever and he thinks he's got this shit nailed but what he seems to fail to realize is that Emma's got me and I'm already on to him. Did he really think that I wouldn't sense Emma leaving my bed
Emma's pov My breath catches in my throat the moment Alex reveals that he knows that all of this is being caused by Gamma Sean. I knew that he was aware that I was lying to him but not for one moment did I think he knew anything about what was going on. "how do you know?" he gives me a gentle smile that I feel down to my heart before gently tugging me in close to his body and bringing his mouth down to my ears. "let's get home before we talk about this angel, we don't know if anyone is hanging around trying to listen and I can't let anyone else know about this right now, I won't let anyone else hurt you." he doesn't need to say anymore I can see it in his eyes so I just nod my head and allow him to pull me along behind him towards the packhouse. The moment we get inside Alex's room and he locks the door something inside of me snaps and I lunge myself at him kissing him with all I have. This man is my absolute world, I'd never question his love f
Emma's pov Alex is looking down at me with nothing but love in his eyes and it makes my heart pound so hard that I fear I'm heading for a dam heart attack. He leans into me and we are soon lost in a slow passionate kiss that drives me mad with desire. He lays down on his side next to me and one of his hands trails down my body and slowly slides under my top. He slowly glides his fingers across my stomach causing my muscles to contract and I know that he felt it as a smirk graces his beautiful face. He pulls his hand from under my top and I'm about to wine at the loss of contact but then he shifts himself up onto his knees and grips the hem of my tee-shirt, he pauses for a moment looking at me and I know he's waiting for my permission so I give him a nod and he slowly lifts my tee-shirt off while I adjust myself to help him remove it. I lay back down just as Alex lets out a small growl and his eyes turn black with flecks of gold dancing aroun
Emma's pov Last night was incredible, I didn't plan for that to happen but I don't regret a thing. Alex was so loving and gentle with me but then he fucked me hard when I needed it and I honestly wouldn't change a single moment of it. I knew the time would come but I didn't think that I would be ready so soon but if there's one thing I've learned from Emily going missing its that life's too short, you shouldn't hold back and live in regret you should make the most of each day and Alex and I definitely made the most of last night. The hot water from the shower has done a great job of easing my overworked muscles but it didn't do anything to stop my mind from working overtime, my mind may be thinking about last night right now but this business with Jay and Emily's disappearance is never far away. I'm distracted from my thoughts as I feel 2 strong arms wrap around my waist as Alex pulls my body flat against his and my stomach is instantly filled with butter
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
