Emily's POVI ran through the dark woods with the little bag I had carried, trying to escape. The sounds of pursuit rang in my ears, and I could hear a couple of dogs bark out after me, I didn't know if it was my imagination but I picked up my pace . My heart thumped heavily against my chest and the sound echoed throughout the silent forest. Suddenly the moonlight lit up the leaves on the trees and illuminated everything around me for an instant before they were shrouded by darkness again.I needed to get as far as I could if not he was going to find me . That wasn’t an option at all, and I couldn’t go back. Not now. I wouldn't let that happen to me.“Amelia, please we need to do this together” I cried out to my Wolf as I continued to run.“Are you insane Emily? What are you doing? we need to get back now” she yelled at me from my head . “We have bigger problems than this! This is about safety, you idiot!”“I am leaving without him!” I screamed back to her over the rushing of my blo
Luka’s POVThat night, the guards and moved into the woods and I kept commanding them to go further.There was no way we were going to stop until we found her.I didn't want to believe that she had run away, I didn't want to believe that she left me.It was impossible.Didn't she just say that she missed me? How does one run away from people they miss? Was it so difficult for me to understand that? Or was my head still filled with nonsense?The forest became more of a maze and we lost all sense of time. It was pitch black around us and our torches flickered in the distance like dying fireflies.I needed to find Emily.My Wolf howled in me, my mind was clouded by darkness, my heart pounded hard at my ribs. A deep, desperate roar of blood filled my ears. My wolf’s claws scratched at my brain and its eyes burned at my soul and I screamed back.We were on the edge of an abyss when we saw her light ahead of me and now she left us by ourselves? How could she?How dare her.I lost how far
Luka’s POVI woke up to blinding lights burning into my eyes. I tried to close my eyelids and blink away the light, but the world spun around me until I felt dizzy. And the next second everything went dark again.I blinked several times to clear my vision and I realized I was lying down on a bed. Everything was soft, warm, and comfortable.I was in my room.“You are awake Your Majesty” Alfred ran to my side, his eyes were glistening with unshed tears. “Are you alright? Are you sure that you are alright? Did you hurt yourself?” I smiled weakly.I felt weak and as I tried to sit up, dizziness hit me and I fell back onto the pillow. Alfred rushed to my side , placing his hand over mine, “Rest Sir” he whispered and he sat down next to me “You need rest” “I am fine” I insisted .Alfred looked at me worriedly and he wiped away a few stray tears from the corner of his eye “Please, just take it easy”“Alright, alright…” I relented “I promise I'll rest soon, alright? I just need some wate
Chapter Eighty-seven Emily’s POVIt felt as though someone had hit me in the head with a brick and left behind a concussion that throbbed with every heartbeat and a splitting headache that made the light above my eyes flicker ominously. I tried to open my eyes again but they were glued shut by sweat. My eyelashes fluttered against my cheekbones, and then I noticed that I was lying on a mattress.I groaned softly. The room was dark but from what little I could see of it through the gaps in my eyelids, I guessed that I was in some sort of bedroom or apartment. It appeared fairly clean, with no trace of clutter. The bed itself was comfortable enough.My heart began to speed up when I finally registered a familiar scent in the air around me. It was like the scent of something sweet mixed with wood smoke. Something like…“Relax” A voice came from directly near the door. “You won’t feel any pain if you just relax.'' I heard a slight rustling sound and looked up to see his face looking at
Emily’s POV“What's your name?” “Sara” I answered- lied as meekly as I could , still not used to the fact that I was being questioned by a stranger.“What pack are you from?”Again my mind immediately jumped to wolf pack and I bit back the instinctive response, knowing it would just make this man more suspicious of me. I took a deep breath before answering him “I don't remember much…”“You don't?” His grey eyes bore into mine as if trying to dig through my skull to find whatever memory he was looking for. It was unsettling how he seemed almost fascinated with me, even though I had no idea what he wanted to know. I didn't think I should tell him anything about myself because his reaction to the name was too odd for comfort. He seemed genuinely concerned, but then again, I wasn't exactly the most normal person in the world either. I couldn't shake the feeling that this man and his people could be dangerous, so perhaps the best thing to do would be to remain quiet and pretend to be compl
Luka’s POVIt had been more than two weeks since I last saw Emily, two weeks of me searching everywhere for her without luck. There were some days I was sure she would never forgive me, that we would never have a future as anything more than this.Did someone really take her away?I couldn't think of any reason why anyone would want to hurt her, it all seemed surreal.It was as if my days had gotten darker as if there was no sunshine. My days reeked of misery, of loss, and the loneliness of the night before. The day's events felt so unreal to me that I sometimes forgot where I was when I woke up. It was like my mind was playing tricks on me or perhaps even someone else was pulling me along in an imaginary world.I didn’t know what to do.Emily was the only thing on my mind and my heart ached greatly whenever I thought about her. I wanted her back, more than anything in this world.I had spent days, nights, hours sitting around with nothing but thoughts and memories occupying my min
Luka’s POVI ended up at the bar and drank in a stupor. It was a miracle how I managed to drive home without crashing through some random vehicle but that didn't bother me because I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway. I was just trying to drown out my problems and think of nothing except what was going on behind my eyelids. I wasn't okay.I thought I was going to be able to handle the news of Emily being missing but the pregnancy was a shocker to me.I had an opportunity to be a father, an opportunity I had been looking forward to all my life and it had been ripped from my hand like a paper towel. Now I'm not even sure if I should have left her alone they might, considering the circumstances.That night…I remember it vividly just like yesterday. Her scent had lingered in the air, it was there still lingering in my senses. The scent of jasmine perfume and fresh rain with a hint of cinnamon always reminded me of home. Even now, had she overheard my conversation over the phone?
Emily’s POVIt was a miracle how he managed to convince them to let me stay. No one wanted me here, it was way too obvious and I could tell from the looks I was getting that they were waiting for me to fall, just looking for an excuse to kick me out and I had to fight back tears at every turn.I didn't blame them.His name was Luke. The grey-eyed man- Alpha.He had told me that his people were going to watch me for a month to now if I was a threat to them or not and I agreed.The room he showed me to seemed to be my safe haven. I hid there from the world, from them piercing gazes that was full of judgment and condemnation. From their whispers of my worthlessness as a 'threat'. From the constant looks of disgust on their faces that made me want to crawl into a hole and never come back out, like a small mouse hiding from a cat.But tonight, I needed air so badly. It felt as though the walls of the room were closing in on me, making me suffocate and yet still leaving me breathless with
