Emily’s POV“Why are you mopping around like a sad puppy?” Princess Carolyn’s voice cut through my thoughts with sharp, pointed accuracy. I had been standing in the same spot for over twenty minutes and I still wasn’t getting any work done. It was ridiculous. I couldn’t get it to move. In fact, I wasn’t even sure if there was something wrong with it. I stared at her, not used to the fact that even though she had just come yesterday, she was the only one apart from Luke who spoke to me like a normal person as if I wasn't some sort of plaque she could put on the shelf whenever she wanted. I didn’t know why she talked to me like that. She had no reason to do so. We were barely acquaintances. But it made me feel good anyway. A little.“What?” She scoffed when I didn't say anything.“Nothing” I mumbled, but she wasn't having any of it. She narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms over her chest, and cocked a hip to the side as if she owned everything she saw as if nothing bothered her at all.
Emily’s POVI felt energetic as my fist moved against the boxing bag , hitting it rhythmically. It felt like it was the first time I’d ever hit an object in my life, and yet, it seemed like the most natural thing to me. Like it made sense. The way my hands knew what to do without any conscious thought from the rest of my body.Did it mean I had started to get a grip on it?“You need to leave now. Your presence is beginning to irritate me” The red-haired was glaring at me, though there was no actual anger behind her eyes. Her voice sounded as if she wanted to strangle me, but that wouldn’t stop me from continuing to swing a boxing glove in her direction- if I could. “Now…” She hissed at me. She looked about ready to strangle me herself before she sighed and turned away from me. I said nothing. I was trying to catch my breath. I don't know where this energy came from, but it wasn’t going anywhere. There was something inside me that needed to release itself. It felt as if every cell in
Luka’s POVAlfred had gotten better, he could stand for a bit and talk a little. It all happened too fast and it was a miracle.The kind of miracle no one expected. But I was grateful for it and even the healer couldn't explain his fast healing process but all I could say was that maybe the goddess had decided to have mercy on me.Nothing had changed. in fact, there have been more killings in the last six months.More people who'd died by violence because of these mysterious bites from the mysterious pack we knew nothing about, it was crazy.We were all trying our best to solve the puzzle, everyone was scared to death of something they weren't yet aware of, they felt threatened, but none of us knew what or how to react. It was like this huge storm cloud hung over the land, the air had gotten thicker, and colder, and you could hear the sounds of death all over the city. And no one knew why this was happening.“Emily…” I heard Alfred say and my heart clenched at the mention of that name.
Luke’s POVThe months that followed took a tremendous turn on Sara. I watched her grow strong and I watched her stomach grow as well.She was still very much reserved and kept to herself. Sometimes I caught her looking around as if she were expecting someone to jump out and grab her. She was quiet in the mornings when we sat down to breakfast together. I’d often watch her eyes dart about while we drank coffee or talked about our plans for the day ahead. Her hands would occasionally tremble. I knew something was still off.Carolyn seemed to like her, although she'd never admit it but it was different.She was the only one who would talk to Sara freely in front of me without having me blurt out some inappropriate comment or make some joke at her expense. It seemed like I was always the last one to know anything, even though they did tell me things. It's not like they needed any prompting from me; I just liked to listen, you know? And maybe learn a little more about…“Aren't you going
Emily’s POVHow does one explain six months without the one they love? I was struggling to find the words to describe it, even as I struggled not to cry from thinking about it. The past months had been a whirlwind of activity that left me little time to think, let alone breathe. This time it had nothing to do with the pregnancy hormones, I was just in a place of total confusion. How could something so wonderful have come into my life and then disappear so quickly? All I wanted to do was hold him in my arms again, and tell him everything he means to me, but I couldn’t even manage that. How could I?When he had scared me away. There were times I couldn't help but feel like I had overreacted, maybe I should have been a little patient , given him some more time. But when had things ever gone right for me?"I don't want you here." Those three simple words, said without any hesitation. It hurt, but I still needed answers. That was all in the past right? Long before I had fallen in love w
Luka’s POVShe was standing naked in the middle of my room, her blonde hair rustled with the wind that made its way through the window and her pink nipples were erect, staring at me with wide blue eyes full of lust. “I have been waiting” She murmured as she pulled me close.I was sure she could feel my bulge that was pressed against her thigh. Her hand wandered towards it, stroking my shaft. “Kiss me” Her voice was soft now. ‘Kiss me’ it said again, but not to kiss, no. I knew what she was doing and I was going to say ‘no’ when I felt her lips on mine. My heart pounded fast in my chest as her tongue probed my lips and she pushed me backward until I fell onto the bed. She straddled me. Her fingers dug into my hair as she leaned forward to nibble my earlobe, pulling a moan out of my throat. My hands found their way down to her thighs, gripping her hips firmly as I rolled us over so I would be above her. Then I cupped her tits and gently squeezed them as she groaned loudly. Her fing
Emily’s POV“What are you doing here?” She roared at me. Her green eyes were filled with fury, Fury that was directed at me.It was the look I had grown to despise after she had told me off the very first time we met.I had taken Luke's advice and began to visit the part of the community where they had a therapist.It helped me cope in more ways than I could imagine and gave me some kind of closure on all of it. It gave me something to focus my energy on for the foreseeable future when I would have no use for it again. “Answer me!” the redhead yelled again, her voice louder this time, and even angrier. The air around us seemed to grow hotter like she had been holding an inferno within herself for days on end.“Why do you keep ignoring me? Why do you keep avoiding me? Why are you not responding?” She yelled.“Did I ever do something to you?” my voice was quiet compared to hers, but it echoed against the walls of the small room nonetheless.I wasn’t sure what I expected, but she hadn’t
Emily’s POVNever had my chest felt so constricted, not when he was standing so close to me and looking at me with those warm green eyes that reminded me of the grass on rainy days, with his perfect hair that always felt like silk falling gorgeously around the well-sculptured face and his smell...He smelled like pines and something that made you nostalgic, something that made you want to hold him tightly in your arms. The shirt he wore did nothing to hide the perfect biceps that graced him. Fighting the urge of running my hands through those curves was like fighting the devil himself. I wanted to touch him, I needed to. A sense of boldness compelled me to move further and I felt an intense heat that made me shudder. I was high and I had barely tasted what he had to offer. His mere presence intoxicated me and made excited flames spark within me. I felt my shirt being pulled up slightly, before feeling his hands moving to touch my bare skin, I sighed in satisfaction, almost arching
