Emily’s POV“No, no, no!” I yelled before jumping up. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as they fell down to the collar of my shirt. My heart pounded in my chest and my hands shook. The room spun a little and I tried to steady myself by placing both palms on the little worn-out table beside my bed.I saw him again, his smell of booze and cigarettes haunted my dreams, his rough hands that felt like sandpaper against my skin and those dark eyes. A wave of heat and anger rushed through my system as I grabbed the small glass bottle from the table. In one quick movement, I threw it at the wall opposite me with all of my strength.IIt shattered into millions of pieces and the scent of the pills mixed with herbs assaulted my nose, making me retch. I took several deep breaths while wiping away the beads of sweat from my face and neck with the back of my hand before climbing out of my bed. I wanted it to all stop but it didn't. Instead, my memories took me back to those days and it felt
Luke’s POVI had those dreams where I watched Emily sleep naked at night, her blonde hair was a contrast to the dark of the room and her chest rose and fell quickly as she slept and her hands were wrapped around her stomach. She looked like a goddess, and even in slumber, I could see the soft curves of her body that had haunted my dreams for years. She was perfect. So beautiful in fact that it almost hurt. It was like looking at a painting or one of those famous sculptures, and seeing how real they were.Her lips were parted slightly, and when she breathed out I caught a whiff of something uniquely her. A hint of vanilla from the shampoo she used, but also something else. Something spicy. The scent lingered on my skin and mixed with the musky scent of our passion. She smelled so fresh and clean, even though we had been intimate only moments earlier, I could still smell the lingering traces of her arousal clinging to me. The sensation alone made me shiver. I had never met anyone m
Emily’s POVWhy does no one talk about labor pains? I knew it was going to hurt but I was not prepared for the pain that was coming to me. It felt like my organs were being squeezed and crushed by a giant fist. I only felt my water break and it rolled down my leg.I didn't feel it immediately but I felt a sharp pain like everything in me was being pulled out of me through my anus. I thought about screaming. That would probably give it away but I couldn’t move. It was at that moment Carolyn opened the door of my room. She saw me sitting in a weird position and struggling.“What is wrong with you?” Her brows were furrowed.But I couldn't bring myself to talk as the pain grew stronger and more intense. It was all I could do just squeeze my eyes shut in an attempt to hold back from screaming. The feeling was so overwhelming that my eyes burned with tears. The last thing I wanted was to be seen crying. But the pain was too much. And I just couldn't help myself as I screamed.Her eyes move
Luke’s POVI rushed down immediately Carolyn called me and when I got to the hospital she was pacing back and forth in the waiting room clutching her bag to her chest as she talked on the phone. When she saw me approach she said, “She's been in there for a while now, there's been a lot of shouting from them. I am afraid I am going to pass out” She mumbled. She looked really nervous like she was about to puke any minute. “She will be fine, right?” she muttered, not looking at me. I tried reassuring her. “She will pull through it”. She just nodded absentmindedly without looking up. I could see her face get paler and paler with each passing second until it was white as paper. It didn't look healthy.“Breathe Carolyn” Even though I was shocked she reacted this way about Sara. But this was not the right time to make jokes I realized. This woman was about to fall apart if she wasn't already. She finally managed to look up at me and said in a hoarse voice, “What?” Her voice sounded strained
Unknown POVMaybe I was just overthinking and maybe he really did have something waiting for me, some sort of surprise. Something, anythingWho was I kidding? He had forgotten and it tore deep at my heartI can't believe that he forgot my birthday and our anniversary…How could he forget?Three years have already passed since I walked down the aisle and exchanged vows with my mate Alfonso, the Alpha of the crystal moonpack.It's been three fucking years! I remember that day vividly, I was nineteen, blond hair tied back to compliment that white armless lacey dress but now at twenty- two? I couldn't say anything about it.It used to be my favorite memory of us, it still was and I could hear my wolf groan and I didn't blame her. It was pathetic to see me cling to that after everything he had put me through.I heard his footsteps and smelt his scent across the room.I had leaped out of my room to go and greet him at the door of his own since we both slept in separate rooms despite being m
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 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
