Emerson POV,I hit a wall today. I'm burnt out from the long journey. I keep glancing at the top of the stairs because I have a perfect view of it from the couch. But Alpha Loworth. I haven't seen much of him after his interrogation which left me questioning myself. I reassured myself Smith is a far better man. I look up and find Monaco standing with his stripes on his leg, he looks exhausted. From what? I don't know.In his left hand, he brings a shopping bag and hands it to me, I don't want to talk about Alpha Loworth so I changed the topic. "What is inside the bag?"He narrows his eyes and tilts his head. "It's for you. Loworth insists you change into that."I collect it from the table and stand up my fist clenches and unclenches. Monaco doesn't buy the idea of all of this, he spins around quickly before I even turn to look at him.Not sure of how to get out of this predicament, I could have gotten defensive and accused something I didn't like, dancing to his tone at the same even
Emerson POV, I turn to face him, my face digging into his chest. His cologne wafts to me, so plush, dark and masculine. My knight in shining armour. I haven't seen him since yesterday, but his popping up made my heart flush. I stare at Smith, exuding a different form of confidence.A fleeting smile appears across his mouth and disappears just as quickly as if he remembered what happened, his lips turn up. "I'm sure there aren't many you'd risk this moment for, Emerson is catchy and I want her the more now that you have showed up, old friend."Loworth refuses to return his smile, he swats his hand away from me. "Don't you dare touch her?" He commands.“You look terrible," I say because he doesn’t look terrible. Loworth never does, and he knows it.Loworth heads for the counter lined with pastries, bottles of water, coffee carafe and small chops, perfect for a birthday.He grabs a water and squeezes it open then heads to his seat opposite from me.Smith disappeared into the crowd bef
Loworth POV,It wasn’t easy navigating Emerson at all, she’s still stubborn going out of her way and doing shit that leaves my train of thought wondering about nothing other than her.I grabbed my coat and rushed out of the meeting with my damned beta, Monaco. They might think I am crazy or something strange happened and have trailed behind me all along.“I’m glad you guys came through.” I managed to break it out to them.They exchanged what looked more like a confused gaze among themselves. And still nod their head at my heartfelt compliment which they don't find handy.“Is everything alright Alpha?” My Beta came forward with the dumbest question.I grind my teeth hard to keep the treacherous word at the top of my lips from slipping off. Then have them a simple nod.“I will let you know when I do need you but you have to keep the bars in check,” My heart dashed into my throat when I saw Emerson drunk and vulnerable amid the young pack members who had hardly mastered their wolves.“W
Emerson POV, My head was banging as I turned and tossed in the silk bed, the warm masculine scent wafted through the sheets onto my nose and I savoured it before I could open my eyes. I smiled wistfully as I admired the scent while smoothing my hand along the silky bed sheet. With a final turn and contented smile I turned and looked straight ahead of me I covered my mouth with my hand suppressing the squeal that almost escaped from my lips. My heart pounded in my chest when his dark masculine voice attested to my suspicions. “What is going on here, where am I?” I bit my lips nervously although my question was dumb especially now that I was in Alpha Loworth's room and had nothing on but his big T-shirt and with that proud devilish smirk on his lips indicating something happened between us. “I made hung-over tea for you.” He said in a low sultry voice that bounced off. I bite back on the bile shooting down my throat as I feel the scene in my head in a daze for a while. The
Emerson POV,I place my head on the couch in the living room, the texture of the rich fabric keeps forcing me to snap my eyes close.Monaco placed the heavy bag with his gun on the counter and walked straight to grab a cup of coffee from the counter.My eyes met with that of Monaco and he nodded at me and walked to the lounge to meet Alpha Loworth.“Let's grab the dusty clothes and place them away.”I didn't raise a muscle from the couch where I was sitting, my mind was still reeling from what just happened.‘I told you our mate wouldn't reject us.’ my wolf whispered to me before I couldn't turn my eyes away.“This will keep you warm.” Alpha Loworth placed a warm blanket around me. “The maid will prepare a room for you, you can rest for the meantime.”I swallow hard on my bile.“Thank you.” I let out before smacking my face into my palm shamefully.My eyes darts around the interior, the walls are black inside as well with light wooden floors forming a contrast.There are light everywh
Loworth POV,After the moment we shared in the penthouse, Emerson had been quite green.I will take it as her warming up to me. She wouldn't have looked at me longingly like that out of the ordinary. She quickly tilted her neck from me and started staring out the window and it gave me a moment to take a good look at her.I made a mental note to look into Smith and I can't get the thought of how I will handle the truth once I find out out of my head keep ringing a bell in my head, I give a flat look at the penthouse and I tighten my grip on the steering wheel while I listen to the call that came from the other end of the call.“We saw a trail at the farm and believe me it corresponds with that of Smith and his accomplices,” I listened in silence, my eyebrows raised as I watched her flatten her back against the wall by the window.Spotting Jake, I stalked towards him.He begins to shake his head, his face torn with guilt.“They made sure they kept their track covered.” I nudged his sho
Emerson POV, I gazed through the passway as Monaco and Alpha Loworth drove away.I have no inkling of where they are headed but Alpha Loworth has this icy look clouding his face like he is going to give someone a death sentence.I sigh relaxing my shoulder as the electric gate closes behind them, I turn to look at the large penthouse, After some hours I fidgeted on whether to call Alpha Loworth but the image of his grim look pictured in my mind before I dropped the phone on the counter close to my small bed stand. Then the maid hit her hand softly on the door.“Lunch is ready.” She said and started walking towards the staircase, I heard the rumbling of my stomach and changed into something nice then trailed behind her.She forced a smile at me although her attempt at being friendly seemed futile, she lacked empathy and I felt that was her nature.“Thank you for the meal,” I said.“Let me know if you need anything.” She managed to break the odd aura between us before she walked back
Loworth POV,I spat out the blood that had gathered in my mouth then turned to Monaco, and back to Nicholas I have to fight the urge to rip Nicholas apart.“How dare you.” I slowly muttered with a dark glare but I paused when he showed my video of a woman on the floor screaming hard, she yelled as if something was breaking in her, and my eyes almost bulged out as I tried to rip the phone from his hand he pulled back and laughed mockingly.“Sit tight or she will not get through it.” I gash on my jaw, while I sit with the handcuff across from him.Nicholas laughed hysterically with his hand fondling the box beside him. I glide my eyes shut without bickering at his words“Hey Loworth, do you think winning me in a race I would back down easily.”“You already have the supplies. Stop being dramatic.” He frowned his face and gave me a tentative look then told the truck to halt as it hit a rock.He stepped closer to me with a sneer and for every throbbing vein in my body I wanted to punch the
Emerson POV,I have been doing my best to avoid Alpha Loworth for the past three days even though his lips were plastered on mine. I have been hiding in my suite. I haven't gone down to see the happenings in the pack or to get food instead in order room service which means I have nothing but time to think about everything.In just a few days from now, he won't be able to protect me anymore, staring out of the skin my heart longs to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. Every night I wanted to sneak out but I couldn't, I'm scared of the outside world and the fact that the shutters were down gave me a strong sense of security.A few days, weeks or probably months is all I have. And I either have to find a way to kill the reaper or I will cross over to the afterlife.A knock on my door draws my attention out of my thoughts and I turn away from the window to receive the order that I have placed for lunch not having much of an appetite I get myself a platter of cheese cold meat and olive
Loworth POV,When I saw the look in her eyes my heart dropped all of a sudden she looked broken and defeated.I pulled her into me and kissed her this time not wanting to let go. I taste her sweetness on my tongue and it makes me lick my lips.I drink at the sight of her rosy cheeks, the excitement from the kiss we shared staining her skin, her breast swelling under her v-neck t-shirt with every breath she takes. She looked like the goddess of sex until then blood drained from her face. Panic tightened her features and then her eyes filled with fear. Her trembling hands catch my eyes and her gasps begin to come faster until I start to wonder whether she is about to hyperventilate. I’m a little surprised by Enerson's reaction, she kissed me back, fucking melting into my arm but still, she looks at me with horror as if I fucking attacked her.I take a step towards her but her hands fly up in warning. “Don’t.” Her voice strained with panic and she sank in a frantic breath. “Don't ever to
Emerson POV,Keven walked towards Alpha His father, he cleared his throat and pointed his finger at Nicolas.“This bastard should be taught a lesson.”Oh no, the least I wanted was to drag attention my way, I dashed as fast as my leg could carry me.“Stop it, Kevin, have you forgotten he is an Alpha.”“He harassed his sister, now she's scared of him and I have decided to stand in for her.”I squeeze my eyes shut, Keven blurted out and Nicholas noticing Alpha Loworth broke into a devilish smirkTaking notice of the hate that was suddenly directed at me after Keven made the revelation that I was Alpha Nicholas' sister. I slid them back open swallowing on my dry throat.Nicholas' father along with the other Alpha that were present directed their glutinous gaze at me. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have known the course for their action but now that I know the serial killer is on the rampage and that my parents were murdered because they were the last descendants of the moon goddes
Emerson POV,It was unlike me, normally I would react or act in a silly way but I'm calm now, I don't see the stamina to react surge up my body.Alpha Loworth let the shutter down around the window the moment he stepped out, out of curiosity I trailed behind him to listen to what the other alpha were meeting him for.I didn't want to turn into a burden to the person who saved my life, instead, I stood by the door resting my ear against it in an attempt to hear something.But what I just heard is more deafening than anything I have heard since I got involved with him, a serial killer on the coast with a special trait of ripping hearts out.“Hey! I thought you were a worker but you're peeping on the Alpha.”Keven muttered under his breath, was he going to cast me, I wasn't even expecting him at this point.My limb felt weak so I remained in my position just as I felt like I had regained some control over my body a strong scent hit my nose, it smelled like lemon and grass and cedarwood.
Loworth POV,I stopped to look at Emerson she was so engrossed in getting the document completed, a small smile crochet at the corner of my tip, she will do it well, I know she isn't the one to back down easily and while doing it she will take her time to forget about the tragic event that happened to her.“Let's check the supply before we go in for the meeting.” Monaco nodded to my instruction.I walked with Monaco to the safe keep in the hotel, the hotel business was what my father started from behind whenI was still small, originally all the meetings the the other Alphas were supposed to be held in the pack house but when Smith's father started misbehaving he changed the location of the pack meeting to the human world.“We have gotten our hand on shipment CA-456, which means we got an edge on Smith,” Monaco said satisfied.“Smith will be in uproar tonight. And that means one thing, he will want to take Emerson by all means especially now that he knows her powers.”I have Monaco a t
Emerson POV,Loworth begins to rub his hand along my back urging me to go back to sleep, I am shocked but appreciative of him at the same time, I settle into the bed despite his position denying me a glimpse of his face and take in his warm scent my wolf exhilarated by our mate felt relieved and comforted by him.I breathed a huge sigh of relief as morning came. I knew that things would slowly become easier.Daylight brought new hope and with Loworth by my side all night, I chuckled lightly holding the sheet with his scent to my nose, savouring the scent of my mate made everything easier for me.I got up later in the morning and checked around the suite but found Alpha Loworth nowhere near, I changed into the slippers and slipped out of the bedroom only to see that Monaco had the luggage ready in the living room. I checked everywhere for Loworth but he was nowhere to be found nor was Monaco. My instincts tell me otherwise.“Where is everyone,” I asked indirectly. Zia replied with a h
Emerson POV,Seeing the concern on Alpha Loworth's face I stepped closer to him and placed my hand on his chest.“It’s okay, I feel nothing but relief.” The concern still didn’t fade from his eyes, he stared down at me and pulled me closer to his chest,“Don’t talk, just don’t think about it.” He advised me and I was calm.He pulled his hand free from my cheek and wrapped his arm around my waist. I pressed my right cheek into his chest. He instantly enveloped me in a hug and I buried my face in his chest.We just held each other for a couple of minutes and then Alpha Loworth moved and pressed a kiss beneath my ear. “I’m glad you tried to protect yourself.”He didn’t say anything after that, my heart skipped a beat in my chest.We arrived at the penthouse and Jake rushed towards Alpha Loworth with a concerned look on his face like he wanted to notify him about something.“I deserve to die, I did it to save my family.” he hurried his face into Loworth cloth burying his face.“Where were
