“You know you will feel this pain when you sleep with another person who is not your mate. Then how is this clause in this agreement?” I asked Beta Rodriguez as I pointed to clause number 8, which stated that we could sleep with anyone during this one year, but it should be someone outside the pack. “I thought you already knew, Miss. Abel. I just hate liars, so don't try to act innocent with me.” Beta Rodriguez said, sounding irritated. “I have already asked the witch to get us the potion. She will deliver it tomorrow,” he said when I felt my heart sink to the pit of my stomach. I almost forgot about the potion that was used to block your emotions from your mate. I have heard of that before but Luis never used it because he wanted me to feel the pain every time he was with Ava. I went through the rest of the clauses when my eyes widened in surprise at the last one. “What is this?” I asked him as I pointed it out to him. He glanced at it before he leaned back on his chair. “Isn't i
Emilia Abel - POVFor a moment, I felt like everything around me came to a standstill while the only person around me was Beta Rodriguez. “Why do you keep calling him Beta Rodriguez? He is our mate. Call him by his first name.” Silver said, sounding irritated. “I don't want to get attached, Silver. We have a contract, and we should be leaving him when that is over.” I reminded her, and strangely, she kept quiet. I took a deep breath to calm myself as I began walking towards him. I saw the warriors who were there stop for a moment to bow at me in respect, and I managed to give them all a pleasant smile. As I reached Beta Rodriguez, I saw an unreadable look on his face. “What the hell is this?” he sneered as he tried to keep a straight face. A frown appeared on my face while I was confused as to what he was referring to.“What do you mean?” I asked him when a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. “Right, I forgot who you are, Miss. Abel,” he said as he stepped back, but from his tone
Emilia Abel - POVI turned around, and for a moment, I was frozen in shock while my mind was unable to comprehend if I was dreaming or if he was really there. “Jasper?” I breathed out when I realized that he was as equally surprised to see me there as well. “You are really here?” he asked me when my lower lip began to tremble as I nodded my head. I couldn't believe it. The day Luis threw Jasper out of the winter moon pack, I was not allowed to leave the house, and I was never told where he went. “Yes, and you are here?” I asked him when he nodded his head. It was like the novelty of the surprise wore off as he took two large steps towards me and pulled me into a hug. The warmth and familiarity made my eyes water as I hugged him a little tighter. Ever since I came to this pack, all I received was coldness both from my mate and the others. As I pulled back, I looked up to see that he had not changed much. There was a small stubble on his chin while his brown eyes twinkled with the sa
Gamma Luis Knight - POVKnock knock. “Come in,” I called out when my office door opened, and the two trackers I sent out earlier stood in front of me. “What did you find?” I asked them as I pushed away the file I was reading.“She is not in any of the southern packs, Gamma Knight. But we just got a hold of the CCTV footage from the highway.” “And?” “We are still looking into it. But if we find out which exist she took, we can have a chance of finding Miss. Abel.” he suggested.“So what are you waiting for? Go and start looking,” I said, and he nodded his head when the both of them walked out of there. As the door closed, I took out the file I was reading and opened it. The longer I saw that smile on Emilia’s face, it only made my blood boiled in anger. I would never forgive her for snatching away my child. Ring ring. I looked at my phone when I recognized the number. I picked it up and placed it on my ear. “She survived.” the man informed me when my hands curled into fists. “An
Ava White - POV“Ava, I don't think we should get involved in this.” Cole tried to reason, but I didn't care what he said. I don't think I can lose Luis after everything that I have done so far. I had to sacrifice my child for the sake of our love, and I am not going to let Emilia in this again. “Where is she right now, Cole?” I gritted out as I looked him in the eye. “She is residing in one of the northern packs,” he told me as I raised my eyebrow for him to continue. “Which pack?”“I don't think…”“Which pack, Cole?” I asked him in a firmer tone. I know it is not going to be an easy task to get into the northern packs, but with a little persuasion, I know we can get in unless it is the…“The Red Stone Pack.” I couldn't believe what he just said, my eyes widened in shock. “That's not possible,” I muttered.“I thought the same thing as well, Ava. But my warriors would never lie. She is in the red stone pack right now.” “How did they take her in despite knowing that she is from ou
Emilia Abel - POVAs I walked out of Beta Rodriguez’s office, I felt something new within me. Jasper was standing near the doorway. “Are you ready to take a tour of this pack?” he asked me with a smile on his face. “I need to read this file first. Could we start this tour after lunch?” I asked him, and he nodded his head. “Okay, so I will meet you in the foyer in two hours?” he asked me after looking at his watch. I nodded my head, and after patting my shoulder, he walked out of there. I thought that we would never have a future together, but the change in feelings in his eyes told me that there was still hope. I walked down the hallway when I came to a stop in front of a door that had a golden nameplate on it. Back in the winter moon pack, I was required to do certain gamma duties, but Luis soon diminished them till I was forced to stay back home. Even though I had my own office back home, I barely had any space to move around after having a desk, chair, and bookshelf inside. And
Emilia Abel - POVI took his hand in mine as a forced smile appeared on my face. “Let it go, Jasper. I don't think we should delve into trivial things like this.” I said as I saw the conflicting look on his face when he finally nodded his head. I removed my hand from his and stepped back.“Let's go, we have a lot to cover,” he told me, and I nodded my head before we walked out of the pack house. We walked down the dirt pathway when I began seeing the town come into my view. Pack members were busy shopping around and doing their daily duties as we passed by. No one knew who I was, so every person I passed by smiled at me with a pleasant look on their faces.“I wonder how long this would last,” I spoke out loud. “What are you talking about?” “This welcome. I don't know how long this will last when they find out which pack I am from.” I told him.“Don't worry, it would not be that bad,” Jasper told me when I realized that they would have known that Jasper was from the winter moon pack
Emilia Abel - POV“What's her name?” I asked him while my glance was locked with hers. “Helen,” he told me, and I nodded my head. I didn't know why, but I felt this uncontrollable anger bubble within me. How could she just toss her kid out like that? “Let's go, Amy,” Jasper said when I saw the women look at us. I didn't stay there anymore as we walked out of there. Jasper showed me where the training ground was, which I already knew, along with other important places. By the time we came back to the pack house, it was already getting dark, and Jasper had to leave me since he had duties. I walked into the pack house and towards my office when I almost came to a halt as I saw Helen go inside Andres’s office. I looked around when I realized that no one was there, I took slow steps toward his office. Luckily, the door was left ajar so I was able to hear what they were talking about. “What about us, Andres?” I heard her question. “There was no us, Helen. I had told you before. It was j
Emilia Abel - POVI had my timer set for five minutes just to be on the safe side, and to be honest, this was the longest five minutes of my entire life as I paced back and forth in my bedroom. A million emotions were coursing through my veins right now but the prominent among them was fear. Fear of what the future would have for me and the uncertainty of my life. Ting ting. I nearly jumped out of my skin as my alarm went off when I quickly walked to the bed and turned it off. I took in a few deep breaths before I made it inside the bathroom. The pregnancy sticks were facing downwards as I gently turned them around with my eyes closed. You can do this, Emilia. Just have a positive thought. I whispered to myself as I opened my eyes and looked at the result. I felt like someone sucked the air from my lungs while I felt a numbing pain course through my veins. Tears pooled in the corner of my eyes as the pregnancy stick fell to the floor with a thud. This can't be true.I mumbled to
Emilia Abel - POV“How can I help you, ma'am?” the nurse sitting at the reception asked me. “I have an appointment with the pack doctor,” I told her.“Your name, ma'am?” “Emilia Abel,” I told her when she typed something on her computer as she finally looked up at me. “Doctor Quinn would be seeing you in room number ten, Miss. Abel.” the nurse told me, so I thanked her and began walking in further. The hospital was barely busy during this hour except for a few women who had come for their daily check-ups. Three hallways were branching out, and I took the one to my right and continued walking when I saw a few women were sitting on waiting chairs in front of a closed door. As I got closer, I realized that it was Doctor Quinn’s room. I stood by the door when it opened a few minutes later as a nurse stepped outside. She called a woman inside and then closed the door and walked towards me. “You must be Miss. Abel?” she asked me as she looked down at her tablet. “Yes, um, is it possib
Emilia Abel - POVI was so distracted with what happened in the kitchen earlier that I didn't even see where I was going as I bumped into something hard while my legs got tangled, and just as I was about to hit the floor, I felt a pair of strong arms hold me and pull me back up. “What is running through that pretty head of yours.” my eyes moved up when I saw Jasper with a smirk on his face. I quickly stepped away as a nervous smile formed on my face. “I am sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going,” I told him as he grabbed my handbag from the floor and gave it to me. “I can see that. You look distracted.” “Well, this is the first time I am working, so everything is a little overwhelming,” I told him when the smile on his face faded away. Jasper knew exactly how I lived with Luis and he had also witnessed how Luis punished me a few times too. It was when Jasper tried to save me from a beating that made Luis furious and made him falsely accuse Jasper and throw him out of the pack.
Beta Andres Rodriguez - POVA million thoughts were running through my head right now, but I didn't pay heed to any of them while my glance was locked on her. She looked a little pale and tired, and this vomiting didn't sit well with me. Once she had finished the tea I made, she placed it on the table and was about to get up, when I gently made her sit again. “You need to finish your breakfast,” I told her when she turned around to look at me.“I don't think I can eat anything, Beta Rodriguez.” she asserted when I shook my head, I pulled out the chair that was next to hers took a seat, and took her plate. “You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and this only makes you feel weak,” I told her as I took some sausages and brought them close to her mouth.“I will eat something later then. I don't think I can eat anything now.” “Just eat the sausages, Emilia. And then you can leave.” I insisted when she had a pout on her face, but then she obliged and began eating her food. Once she
Emilia Abel - POV“A rogue attack?” he asked me, sounding unsure.“Yes, now, what are you doing in my room, Beta Rodriguez?” I asked him when his eyes finally moved to the bags that he had. He placed them on the bed and moved towards the door. “I bought you some clothes,” he said in a monotone.“Why? Does my ten-dollar blouse look too cheap for your reputation?” I asked him when he stopped and turned around to face me. “No, but you are my mate, and it is my responsibility to take care of you till you are in this pack.” “I don't need your pity, Beta Rodriguez. I can take care of myself.” I said with sass when he took two large steps towards me till we were only a hairline space apart. My heartbeat began to race when I felt his hands rest on my waist. My breathing hitched as the sparks traveled through my body. “This is not pity, Emilia. I don't want people looking down on you,” he whispered. For a few seconds, I didn't know what I should say. My mind was in a jumble as I stared int
Beta Andres Rodriguez - POVIs she telling the truth? “There was honesty in her eyes.” Blake, my wolf, said.“Look who finally decided to talk.” I sarcastically told my wolf, which made him roll his eyes at me. “I will not help you until you accept our mate, Andres.” “How did you forget what happened the last time, Blake?” I asked him, sounding shocked that he had forgotten.“I didn't. But I can feel it, Andres. She is different.” he said, but I ignored him, placed my empty coffee mug inside the kitchen sink, and made my way to my office. I looked through all my contacts when I finally found the number of my tech guy and called him. “Hello, Beta Rosrighez. How can I help you today?” he answered the call on the fourth ring itself. “I want certain information about a person. Her bank account details, and how much money she has under her name. And other information.” I said.“Sure, Beta. Give me the name and I will get you the details,” he said.“Emilia Abel,” I told him when he hum
Emilia Abel - POVMy cheeks were still a fiery red from the insults that I faced at the boutique earlier, but what hurt me, even more, was that Beta Rodriguez didn't even do anything to stop them from speaking so low about me. I put that incident to the back of my mind and looked at the beautiful street lights that were coming alive around me. A soft smile formed on my face as I saw the bustling streets and the pack members enjoying the night. It has been ages since I last left Luis’s house, and I think I have missed all this. As I reached Beta Rodriguez’s house, I tried to open the front door, but it was locked when I almost face-palmed myself. I don't even have the key to go inside. I placed my shopping bags on the carpet and looked out at the empty road, hoping that he would come back soon. The minutes gradually turned to hours, and there was still no sight of Beta Rodriguez. The night air had dropped a few degrees, making me shiver as I rubbed myself to keep warm. My legs had al
Emilia Abel - POV“This is our latest collection, ma'am. Would you like to try this on?” the woman asked me as she picked out another expensive-looking suit but this one caught my eye. It was a simple white skirt with a pastel purple silk blouse. “This looks beautiful,” I told her when the smile on her face widened. “Then you should definitely try this on.” she insisted when I looked at Daisy. “I think you should, Miss. Abel.” Daisy said, and I nodded my head and took the suit as I made my way to the changing room. I placed my handbag on the floor and removed my clothes when I saw that the bandages that I had tied around me had loosened.I don't think I have the time to adjust this now. I removed my clothes and hung them next to me before I took the suit. Before wearing it, I took the price tag out, and the moment I saw the price, I felt like my heart exploded inside me. Nine hundred dollars just for this top? I only have a fifty-dollar note, how on earth am I going to afford this
Emilia Abel - POVDaisy and I walked out of the pack house towards the garden that I had never seen. It was a masterpiece with a variety of flowering plants arranged beautifully. As we walked down the stoned pathway, I saw that someone had already set a table for two, and the food was on the table with a vase of red roses. It felt like a romantic setup and this made me confused. “Who did all this?” I asked Daisy as we came to a stop in front of the table. She didn't answer right away when I turned around to see that she looked nervous. “I…it was me, Miss. Abel. But if you need anything changed, then I can get that done as well.” she told me. “That won't be necessary. I like it.” I told her as I took a seat when she stood behind the second chair. “Why are you standing there?” I asked her when I saw her eyes widen in fear again. “Oh, I am sorry. I will be at my office. You can call me if you need anything, Miss. Abel.” she mumbled, and just before she walked away, I called out her n
