Another Chance Chapter Thirteen
Emily’s POVIt was a lie. Everything I had believed in had been a lie . That's all this whole world was to me right now. A lie, an abomination, a disgusting thing. Everything. Even the sun seemed to have abandoned its orbit around the planet, the sun that I knew as home with every fibre of my being; and yet here I was in outer space, alone in the cosmos, surrounded by nothingness and light and color and heat. It had to be a trick, there must have been some cosmic joke, but there wasn't, because when you've been through hell and back and survived, there isn't any point in laughing at a joke, not even your own. Not unless you want to live through it all over again a second time. But life had taught me that wasn't how things worked out. I had never laughed before. I didn't really believe there were things beyond death anymore. This wasn't how I imagined meeting my mate, I had thought of fairytales and roses , love and laughter. My mate would be beautiful, bright like sunrises on a spr

Emily's POVI lost count of the number of rooms we passed, I wasn't even sure I’d be able to find my way out, and I couldn't tell what fate had in store for me.We finally stopped in front of a door and he led me inside.“Stay here, I'll send someone to you and I'll talk to you later “ Without waiting for my response, he slammed the door behind him leaving me alone.It was a large room with sky-blue curtains that were drawn shut tightly across the windows, there was a vanity mirror on one side, an armchair and couch that laid around the room lazily, but mostly all the furniture was made of wood. The walls were white, the floors polished wood. Everything about it looked immaculate. it had a nice homey quality. There were two vases filled with flowers and plants placed strategically around the room. A King-sized bed was in the middle of the room, covered in pure white sheets and pillows. On the opposite wall was a massive fireplace with an iron mantelpiece, and on the right was a w

Luka’s POVClaire led the girl to where I sat having dinner, the guards stood at a distance and after Claire left, the girl remained fixed on the spot as if she was lost in thought or maybe even dazed from the sudden change of scenery. Her blue eyes were staring at nothing and I could smell her fear from where I sat, she looked like a mouse that had be caught off guard by its own shadow, her hands were trembling in front of her and I could see the sweat dripping down her face like raindrops through an open window.The dress she was wearing wasn't exactly her size, it didn't look bad either , the colour was black. The fabric seemed soft and soft, almost like velvet, the embroidery on the sleeves was of gold thread, but there was something wrong with the garment. “Sit” I told her.She gulped visibly yet not moving an inch.I took a sip from my glass, she stayed rooted to the place. “Sit” I said again. She complied this time, taking slow steps toward the table as she was scared the flo

Emily’s POVI thought I was going to be sick after my encounter with that horrible beast.“He wasn't so bad” my wolf countered.What did she mean? Did she listen to anything he said in that horrible excuse of a dinner? I saw it in his green, he meant every word he had said, he wasn't bluffing and it was a miracle that I didn't die of a heart attack or from trembling too much in his presence. His face was set in stone, he was expressionless but his body language screamed anger, I could see his muscles tensing, clenching, ready to lash out at someone who dared disobey him. I swallowed down the lump in my throat and turned my gaze away from my window.What had I gotten myself into? What had Father gotten me into? of all men, why had the goddess decided to choose him for me? Why?The thought made me shudder. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here in this miserable place. He was a monster, a monster that wanted to control my life and death, just like everyone else.He wanted an heir

Emily’s POVI couldn’t remember when I fell asleep after waking up from the nightmare, but a knock on the door woke me up.It was the King and behind him was a maid a different one from yesterday and she was younger almost my age or Avery’s. She held a tray of breakfast, after dropping it off, she hurried away, returning with a pair of dresses in hangers, dropping them off again, she hurried away.“How did you sleep?” He asked when we were finally alone. His tone made it clear that he wasn't asking because he cared, more like he was compelled to.“Good” He nodded understandingly before saying “You should do your thing, I’ll be back when I think you are done.” He stated while pointing at the breakfast, the clothes and what I had know yesterday to be the bathroom.He looked at me intently. No he was looking at whatever Father had left on my face. His eyes moved from face to my neck over and over again. My hair was behind me and I had forgotten about the marks around it. He moved closer

Emily’s POV“Shall we “He pointed to our seats as I was still standing.The only sound that could be heard in the minute that followed was the contact of our cutlery with the plates and maybe our chewing and swallowing.“So both of your parents are dead?” I didn't need anyone to tell ms he dug about me, the thought of him invading my personal life annoyed me greatly that I could feel my chest throb from the pain and I could have my wolf snare from anger.“Yes” it was low.“Oh, I can barely hear you”“Yes!” I howled.“And you worked in the brothel as a slut?”The anger that flowed through my veins was indescribable, I wanted to pluck out every feature from his Greek-god like looking face, scratch out his eyes, and feed them to him.A snarl escaped my throat, he must have sensed my anger too.“What? I just want to be sure is that too much?” He insisted stubbornly.Fuck him!My face fell and my vision felt blurry, it was because the tears were threatening to fall. What was happening to

Emily’s POVIt wasn't long before I knew people didn't like me, the maids would snicker whenever they saw me around, and even those who hadn't disliked me at first, now seemed to be treating me differently. They wouldn't look at me like I was even worth a grain of rice and if they caught me looking at them, they were quick to turn away and act as though I hadn't been there before, or else. I had become so used to it by now, that sometimes my body just moved on autopilot, and I could barely keep track of what was happening. It was officially a week since I got here and after the incident, the King hadn't approached me and I was fine with us staying out of each other’s way.But I needed to leave this place, everything was driving me crazy.I had taken a walk in the garden and surprisingly, no one stopped me but I could swear the guards were paying attention more than they should have been. It was getting ridiculous I couldn't wait until I was free. Maybe then, something would go r

Luka’s POVThere was something about her that just seemed to irritate the hell out of me, she always found a way to put me in a bad mad mood - and it wasn't just my own temperamental nature. It was like I had lost all semblance of control over the world around me, as though some kind of cosmic entity had taken it upon itself to make fun of me for no reason other than how annoyed it made me. My eyes flicked up from the book in front of me to glare at the small window next to me, where there were two birds perched on a branch outside looking as if they were ready to take flight at any moment. The moon was shining brightly overhead, but the sky appeared cloudless. And not just that - when I looked down at the book I could see it glowing dimly with some kind of weird glow. There was no light reflecting off of it whatsoever. The glow looked almost magical, and my breath hitched in my throat. It felt almost like magic - maybe I was seeing things but what was worse my wolf growling and s

Emily’s POV The King’s body was brought back and he was badly stabbed. The seer was trying her best to bring him back to consciousness and I just sat there crying. What if he died? And he never gets to see his child? Why did I lie that the child wasn't his? Currently sitting beside him on the bed, the seer said it was left for him to respond to the antidote or not. I needed more than that, I had been a crying mess for a while and all I wanted was for her to console me, I needed her to tell me that her antidote was going to work and not keep me in suspense. I took his hands into mine “Hey, I need you to wake up please, I am so sorry that I ran away, sorry I said that the child wasn't yours. Maybe when you wake up we will talk this over, because right now, we don’t have time. You need to tell me what to do. Please, wake up!” I cried, as tears poured down my cheeks again. His skin felt cool under my fingers. I felt guilty for hurting him. I should be the one waking up with a broken ar

Luka's POV I know the child was mine, it didn't make sense why Emily would want to hurt me so bad, was it payback? I couldn't tell. “They plan on attacking us tonight” the seer's voice broke through my thoughts. They are the group of Lycans led by their King and they conceal themselves with masks and dark magic but luckily for you, I have made antidotes that would help against their infected bites. You King Luka will get your allies from the outside world and my people and soldiers will get ready. We will move our women and children to the cave at the mountain top and the women who can fight will volunteer as soldiers as well” she continued, her calm and soothing tone calming the anger boiling in the pit of my stomach. “This new army that we have formed is strong enough to defeat them.” I nodded at her words, knowing she knew what I was thinking. Her eyes were sad but not apologetic or regretful, just sadder, tired. The whole town was thrown into total chaos, children and adults ali

Emily’s POV “You thought we were fools this whole time? you planned on what? keep using my brother? Do you know how much he cared about you? All you did was lie to us Sara!” Carolyn scoffed! “Your name is not even Sara” tears streamed down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably into my pillow. What had I done wrong to deserve the anger of these amazing people? Why do I always mess up good things? Why was Luka here? What brought him hear? “I am sorry, I panicked and got scared. I am sorry Carolyn. I didn't think I was ever going to see him again and I wasn't using anyone please” I pleaded. My voice was shaking from crying so hard. I don't know if I will be able to get out any words from my mouth now without crying. I heard a sigh come from the couch before she spoke again “Sara, I mean Emily, I understand why you panicked, but that doesn't excuse everything else” My heart stopped at the sound of her voice. “Right now you have two men out there to face and the last thing they want

Luka’s POV“They were a young couple and they got married and they started a generation of a new kind, the type that was special. Soon like generations, more came, and more left. We honestly thought they had gone into extinct until now. They can't be working alone, not after all this time. They had to be working with someone”Even after I had gone back to home from Lancha, those words kept replaying in my head, and I had nothing to say about them.I needed to find out who these special people were working with and why they were doing what they kept doing to our kind.Was there a previous problem before now? I needed to know.Now my sexual life has been suffering since I got back from Lancha. The thoughts of Emily filled my dreams and they were dreams of us having sex and I ended up masturbating more than I should.For example, last night I dreamt of thrusting into Emily aggressively until I could feel her body trembling beneath me. My cock felt like it was about to burst through my sk

Luka’s POV “I apologize for my people's stare, they are not used to seeing people from the outside world” Alpha Luke's voice broke through my thoughts as we were returning back to his home. He wasn't lying, the people's stare bore holes into my back and I could tell that I was not welcome there. They didn't appreciate my presence and they didn't fail to show it. “When was the last time you had someone from the outside?” I randomly asked. I didn't know why I did it and I probably would have regretted it if he noticed but something compelled me to ask. He paused in his trek before answering me “Months, we found a woman in the woods around our land, she was homeless so we gave her a place. “Didn't you think she was a spy or something?” I couldn't help but point out. It felt weird that they allowed some stranger on their land like that. Wasn't I also a stranger? “You should have seen her eyes, she looked too vulnerable. You'll get to meet her today at dinner. I've never seen anyone

Luka’s POV I was standing on the balcony when I saw a figure pass by immediately. I don't know what was crazier. The fact that this person had blonde hair or the fact that her smell had just hit me caused me to go through a wave of. Could it be? No! it couldn't right? I didn't realize when I started following the figure but the closer I got the more the smile persisted but there was no sign of any blonde hair anywhere. “Going somewhere?” A female voice called out and I came face-to-face with Princess Carolyn. She had a suspicious look on her face as she eyed me up and down. “Yes,” I answered in a small voice before I turned away. This was my fault for not checking who was around first! But I was so curious, I couldn't help myself. What if I really did find something interesting? Well, maybe. Maybe it's nothing at all. But I know what I had perceived. It had to be Emily. “I mean no, I… I just thought I saw someone there” I managed to answer as I quickly tried my best to regain

Luka’s POVEverything after the meeting was off. I could barely eat the food that was served.Something was going on and my Wolf felt it, it was howling and fighting inside of me, clawing its way out to take over. The wolf wanted a piece of this, a human would do as well. It was an urge that I tried to ignore. The wolf had always been there when I needed it, but it was only ever there if my life were in danger. But the more I thought about it, the more desperate I became for answers. My wolf was still there, but it wasn’t fighting anymore. It was just sitting there, waiting for me to make the next move. I knew what I had to do. It didn't help that I could smell her everywhere. Her scent lingered driving me more insane than ever before. I took in deep, deep breaths to try to get her scent out of my nose. But every time, all I smelled was her. She was so familiar, yet I hadn’t been able to find a trace of her since it happened. Not a scent nor a memory. Only her presence remained.The

Luke’s POV“Her blood pressure is very high, she hasn't been resting , her stress level is elevated and she will still be in danger if she continues” the doctor explained. “I don't know what it is but it's obvious she's struggling with the trauma from something in the past and postpartum depression isn’t helping either. It just seems like her mental health isn't getting any better either. I think we should put her on an antidepressant. Maybe a sedative too." The Doctor suggested.“For her long?” I insisted.“Just for today, so she gets to rest and heal. She needs it right now. She'll be fine tomorrow,” The doctor assured me as he walked out of the room and I took his place at the head of my bedside. I stroked her hair gently as tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't respond but tears fell down her cheek.Who was this woman? What battles was she fighting? What trauma did she hide from us? Why was she afraid? Why didn't she trust us enough to talk about it?The door suddenly opened an

Emily's POVMy Wolf was restless. I don't know what was wrong but I knew something was going on. Something I couldn't place my hands on, right from the moment Luke came into my room to call Carolyn.My curiosity was driving me up a wall, so I left baby Luka in his crib for a few hours and ventured out of my room and stared at the stairs where I could smell a strange scent wafting across the room. It was sweet like honey or maybe lemon juice, and it smelled… How was that even possible? it wasn't possible. There was no way it was possible. Maybe it was just a coincidence but I wouldn't lie, a pang of nostalgia drove me into the past where I didn't want to go but needed too much information at once. And if my Wolf was uneasy, who could blame her?I returned to my room and pushed Luka’s crib back and forth gently. The scent got stronger and I had an urge to take a deep breath, a need I didn't want to feel so bad about.I finally decided to go down to the kitchen but the heat from when
