Luke's POVSomething was terribly wrong, something I couldn't explain. There was this restlessness in me and my wolf. We were both anxious to get out, we wanted to run, our hackles were raised and my skin crawled as if someone had just set fire to my fur. Something wasn't right with us. Not one bit of it, not a single thing that made sense. But nothing really did make sense these days. Yet tonight was different. I wanted to go somewhere, it felt as though I needed to be somewhere for some reason. My wolf kept bowling at the top of his lungs. We could hardly stand it. It was like trying to sleep while being bombarded by explosions. My skin would be covered in goosebumps, it was so cold all of a sudden as if ice crystals were forming on every piece of my body. Every part of me was prickling and tingling like crazy, it was getting impossible to keep still. The only way I could keep from shivering was to focus hard on a task because even though everything inside of me felt like jello an
Emily's POVI woke up feeling like I had bumped my head into something hard enough to knock me out cold for several minutes - and that someone was still there with me, a hand resting lightly on my mine. It’s the sort of touch you only associate with your lover or someone who just needs a comforting hug or maybe a kiss on the cheek. My heart jumped when I realized I wasn't in bed alone, I wasn't even in my bed. The plain walls didn't look familiar at all - this must be a new room I'd never seen before, I closed my eyes and opened them again, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming again. The ceiling, while not unfamiliar, was very different than what I was used to, the colors were duller too, not as vibrant as everything else.If I said my head felt terrible, my body felt worse. Everything was sore and as I tried to sit up, I winced greatly.“Easy” I heard that voice say.It was Luke. What was Luke doing here? My brain seemed slow to work and every time I tried to remember the events of l
Luka’s POVHow do I explain this? I was horny. Despite the war going on, I knew a little brothel where men still went to drown all of their sorrows and today, I wasn't left out even though I felt repulsed at myself.“Hey hottie? you’re thirsty?” a curvy dark haired girl called out to me. The confidence in her eyes was enough to make me insane.That was my cue, She grabbed me into the next room and pressed her lips against mine, I followed her pace, she was good. With one push that sent me falling onto the bed, she got on top of me, her mouth nibbling from my ear to sucking the cave of my neck. It was a major turn-on. Her tongue flicked over my skin and she started licking it, it was making me crazy. Her teeth grazing the sensitive spot under my jaw made me moan. Suddenly she pulled away from me, her breathing was heavy and a wide smile covered her face, she licked her lips, “Fuck! you are hot.” She said looking into my eyes and suddenly, I felt like my whole world had crumbled bene
Emily’s POVThe baby let out a soul-piercing shriek for the hundredth time that night and I sighed in frustration as I got off my bed and headed towards where it was coming from.He really couldn't just stay quiet when he felt like it, huh? But then again, if there was one thing about my son that seemed to be constant, it was his cries. It wasn't an unusual trait but sometimes it really got on my nerves. Like now, I just wanted to sleep , or at least take a long soak in a hot tub. So yeah, maybe I needed some help calming him down before he woke everyone...or myself- even though he already did, considering how loud he'd been getting lately. And maybe I wasn't totally calm either, but when I picked him up from his crib and watched him suckle on my breasts, it was hard to stay hard at the little guy 's cries."You need to stop crying so loudly, sweetheart," I murmured against his ear before he could protest any further- not like he could. "There are more important things to do tonig
Emily’s POVI cried that night, I cried so much that my heart felt like it might break, the pain of missing him was so strong and sharp, that I couldn’t even cry out loud because crying would just make me attract unnecessary attention and feel more of a weakling, as if I didn’t already feel like an idiot every morning. I don’t understand why he would do that.It was just a hunch, right?Who was I deceiving? We werewolves had a special bond with our mates and that gave us free access to each other emotions and thoughts. Our mate could sense any emotion that we might have when his mate was in distress. All this while I thought he was going through the war, I thought he was having a bad time, I thought things were difficult and painful for him. And all this time, he was with another woman?I wasn't supposed to feel any remorse right? no pity? no questions right? All I had to do was hate him and wish he rot in hell right? Yet the pain in my chest made it hard for her to take even a breat
Luka’s POV“We will go there. I cannot liive like this anymore. So I have decided to go over and ask for an alliance. I don't give a fuck about the council, the many times I did, it left us stuck. I only care about my people, just my people”As I said those words the old man in front of me teared up. They were tears of joy that proved that he had been waiting for this moment for far too long. He nodded in understanding. It was then that he handed to me a leather scroll case full of documents and gold coins in exchange for what he called the ‘honorary alliance'.For a brief moment, I considered refusing his gift.“I don't think they'll appreciate us giving them this Alfred. It might seem like we are trying to buy them off. I don't want to start it on a bad note, but I'm not sure”It was obvious that I hadn't convinced him. His expression said ‘if you do not accept my offer then I cannot help but feel like you will also betray the alliance you plan on requesting for. It doesn't alway
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
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
