Luke’s POVI decided to take a break later that evening to my favorite spot. Funny how it was still my favorite even though it held memories of the things I didn't want to remember anymore. It wasn't hard at all for me to get there, considering its location. A good walk would do wonders for clearing my head.It held too much of memories of her, of us, of everything she meant to me in this world and that. Her smile, eyes, hair, and voice were etched into the memory so deeply that sometimes I could feel them. My hands remembered every inch of her body. The way she felt. What I felt when she kissed me, what we did together. The way she screamed at me in the middle of our unruly passion . How we both got out of bed in the morning, smiling at each other like fools in love. She made me laugh. Made me happy. That was when things changed between us. I realized how one-sided it had been, she didn't feel the same way about me as I did about her. If she had, she would never have done what s
Emily’s POV“How long have I been here?” I was finally calm and my demons had quieted some.I had lost everything when it felt like I had fallen through the portal into this strange world. My powers had returned in the moment- my mental powers.“It has been a week. You were unconscious”“A week?” That’s all it took for me to go back into a panic again. A week and nothing had changed. I was still stuck in this roller coaster called life. I didn't succeed in leaving it behind.“Calm down Sara, everything is fine,” Luke said with a small smile on his face and placed a hand on my arm as if he had done that before. Of course, it was easy for him to say that it was fine even when it wasn't. The fact that he couldn’t see or feel what I could didn’t make it better by any means. Then it struck me! my baby!I sat up so fast my eyes got dizzy.Luke looked at me, puzzled, then smiled softly and shook his head. “Your baby is alright Sara, it's a miracle that the little guy or girl is still
Luka’s POVI saw Emily, she looked more beautiful than I could remember. Her golden skins shone under the moonlight like they were made of crystal. Her golden blonde curls framed her face. A smile was on her soft pink lips as she stood there waiting for whoever.I couldn't believe my eyes, it felt surreal that she had just been there all this while I searched for her everywhere, looking for her everywhere but nowhere in particular. She was just standing there when she had been there for years before, a few months after I lost hope to ever find her. It was almost like déjà vu again, but this time it wasn't so bad. “Emily?” I called out, I needed to be sure that it was really her, “Emily?!” This time it came out louder as if it would somehow give me permission to run and hold her in my arms forever.She turned around and smiled at me. I ran to her, I couldn't stop myself now even if I tried, my body just seemed to move on its own. As we embraced, I noticed how warm she felt against
Emily’s POVI leaned against the sink, watching the King - my Luka. He was currently washing his hair.I took the soap from him, massaging his scalp with my fingers, as he closed his eyes, relaxing completely. His skin felt soft and I could practically see the tension ease from him. It made me smile.When the soap was done I dropped the bar of soap in the bowl before handing him shampoo. He reached up and lathered the bottle, running the wet cloth through his long hair vigorously as he worked it through the strands.His eyes opened slowly as he stopped working to watch me. His gaze travelled down the length of my body, lingering for only a moment before returning to my eyes. I averted my eyes as I felt heat rush across my cheeks.Now wasn't the time to have such thoughts, I scolded myself.After Luka finished showering, we both exited the bathroom and walked straight to the closet.“Let me” I told him again.I was sure lust and desire hooded my eyes and I was sure he could see it a
Emily’s POVI thought today was just a great day to take a walk, not to do anything pretty intense but to stick to my lane and just look around for a bit.I still haven't seen Luke since last night.As I strolled down, I noticed the stares I was receiving from everyone on this lovely Sunday afternoon. I guess they could see how out of place I felt in their small neighborhood or maybe some just thought that it was rude of me to keep walking like nothing is wrong.But then again, nothing was wrong, it wasn't supposed to be but they didn't know me- I was the unwelcome one in the pack , a stray dog on a leash and no matter where I went it was only going to get worse. I didn't belong anywhere and I knew there would be no escape so why am I even bothering?I thought it was best for me to keep my head down and pretend as if everything was okay as long as I stay quiet, avoid eye contact, and try to blend in. The fact that there was a possibility that my life was in danger every single sec
Luke’s POVThe news of how Natalie had confronted Sara spread around like wildfire. And I was angry that I had not been there and sadly Sara had to be at the receiving end of her wrath.I saw red! How dare she try to hurt someone who did not deserve it!Natalie was crazy and manipulative, and I knew but confronting Sara over nothing? That was unforgivable. No one else needed to suffer through her nonsense. Not me and certainly not Sara.I made it down to her house, a place I had not been since forever. I also drowned the memories that haunted every step I took, reminding me of the past, where I used to be. I would not let them ruin what I was doing here with myself now. I would not allow this world to ruin my future too.“What did you do Natalie?” Anger laced my voice and my entire being as I stalked forward toward the woman in front of me – I was so angry that I wanted to shake her senseless. I wasn’t afraid of violence, not anymore at least, but if she were trying to make a f
Luka’s POVToday reminded me of when I found her, her arms were wrapped around her as she rocked herself back and forth, rocking slowly in my garden. I remember how I hurried towards her. My feet stumbled over some debris and I almost fell down. She didn't notice me yet but when she did... I froze with terror when I realized how fragile she looked. How much she needed help. The pain that was radiating off her wasn't physical; it was mental, emotional. It radiated from where I stood and all I wanted to do was wrap her up in my arms. Soothe her mind and take away this pain for good. Instead, I just watched her, afraid if I spoke or made even the slightest movement she might collapse and not wake again.She was mumbling words, words I couldn't hear and her eyes seemed to be fixed on something yet unfocussed.I hadn't seen such raw pain from anyone before and I could feel the heat of it coming off of her, searing through the air and making it difficult to breathe. I reached out my han
Emily’s POV“Sara?” I heard Luke call out to me from where I lay on my bed.“Come in, I am awake”When he walked in, he had his hands in his pocket like he always did whenever the situation was awkward.He stood there a moment before coming and sitting down at the end of my bed. “How are you doing?” he finally asked. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying not to be annoyed with him for bringing this up. “Not well… How about you? you seemed pretty disrupted last night” I said pointedly.Luke sighed as well, looking off to the side before replying. “Yeah…” He rubbed the back of his neck as if something were bothering him. “I was just dealing with something last night, but I am fine right now … So… yeah…” He trailed off and looked over at me again. “So, how is it going? You seem a little better than you did yesterday?” Luke asked me carefully, as if trying not to make me uncomfortable. “You know you can talk to me about anything…”I shook my head. “No thanks, you’ve already done enough fo
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
