Emily"Sweetheart, I'd love to train you. God, you will be such a good healer once we're done. I always knew you were someone special, and I'm so happy to hear your wolf finally woke up." Emma says, smiling at me as she arranges some of her herbs in her caddy. "And call me Emma. Calling me auntie makes me feel so old." she scrunches her nose, making me chuckle. "You got it, aun- um...I mean Emma." I say, making her chuckle, rolling her eyes."I always told your grandpa and your parents that you would be the next healer in our family. But I guess they were just scared," she says, smiling and putting away more herbs. I smiled, grabbing a small glass jar filled with calendula. "I always wondered why I was always drawn to all of your teachings—the study of crystals and stones, how you guys would make me go out and look for different plants and name them on my own," I say, smiling and making her chuckle. "The meditations, don't forget your meditations and incantations. Now more than ever
EmilyTyler and I rushed to the pack's hospital, but Selene had beat us to it. By the time we got there, she had already given birth. The twins had arrived, and they were beautiful. She had given birth to a handsome baby boy and a beautiful princess. Selene was lying down in her hospital bed, glowing beautifully. Blake held his twins, one in each hand. His eyes gleamed with joy as he looked at us, his eyes threatening to cry. "Aren't they gorgeous?" I looked at them with loving eyes. Just seeing them made me feel all kinds of happiness inside. Our pack's future Alpha had finally arrived. "So, what are their names?" I said as I hugged Selene, congratulating her. "Blake and I decided on Kaiden for our handsome prince and Lilith for our beautiful princess," she says as she looks toward them. "Thanks for coming, Emily. You were right; I was worried about giving birth for nothing," she says as she squeezes my hand. I smile, placing my hand over hers, "I'm just glad the three of you are
Emily (Two days later- Shifting Ceremony)The day of the shifting ceremony came. I had to shift for the first time. I was nervous as hell, regardless of how hard I'd worked on this. Ty has been encouraging me, and we've been training nonstop, even after peek hours. I'm getting stronger, and I'm becoming faster at training. Sure, the only one that still kicks my butt is Hope, but I'm getting good, real good! Not to mention my training with Emma. The elements are kicking my butt. Just when I think I've gotten them down, they throw curve balls at me. By the way- if you ever get into this- never mess with a spell if you don't know what you're doing. And- rosemary is not always a substitute for a missing ingredient. I should know; I spent three days rushing to the bathroom to throw up. "You got this, remember, you can do it, ok baby?"Ty says as he rubs my shoulders as if trying to rub the tension away. I felt foolish knowing I was the only adult among so many kids. But I needed to prove
EmilyMy wedding day came, and I couldn't stop being so nervous. I can't believe I am marrying the man I love today. Tyler is not just my mate but half my soul and best friend. It's weird to say that since we've only known each other for a few months, I feel I've known him longer.Days began to chill, and the mornings started later, but it was ok. Nothing could ruin today. It was my wedding day, after all.My parents arrived a few days ago, and to my surprise, dad and Ty have been like best friends. They are literally tied by the hip. Mom, on the other hand, has been busy in the kitchen with Miss Tammy and the other ladies, cooking up a storm for the wedding guests. There are about nine packs visiting to attend the wedding. Three main ones have been our allies for years. The three that we are training, and the rest are close friends and potential new allies. Of course, I can't forget the only clan of vampires that have allied to us, belonging to Damian and my aunt Emma, and Harous' c
Emily“Do you, Emily Mitchell, take Tyler Slate as your lawfully wedded husband and mate? Do you promise to cherish him, honor him, and help him thrive as the beta of our pack, so help our goddess?” our lead elder spoke, making my eyes water as he continued to resight. Tyler’s eyes sparkled, a stray tear falling down his cheek and smile from ear to ear. “I do!” I say, making him choke up a bit. He sighed, trying to contain his tears. I can't say the same about myself; happy tears fell like waterfalls. Then it was his turn; the elder reread the vows, “I do.” Tyler says midway before our elder finishes, making everyone chuckle. We exchanged rings in simple bands. His ring was a mixture of black gold and tanzanite. It had Viking runes engraved through the band in gold and finished with small amethyst stones through the band (Asher’s idea). My ring was a Blue Nile Asscher cut diamond band with amethyst stones in between each diamond. He slowly places the ring on me with trembling hands
Emily I paced back and forth, none stop, and tapped my cell phone against my palm. I haven't felt any mind link from Ty or any of the warriors for the past hour. I don't know what's happening, but I am getting so impatient. My nerves are getting the best of me."Relax. Trust Ty and Blake; they'll make it back safely! They always do." Selene was confident. But I couldn't help but worry. Something was off. I don't know what; I can't put my finger on it, but I just know something isn't right."Sweetheart, Selene is right. Tyler is a strong guy. He'll come back to you. Keep the faith, honey." mom tried to treasure me. But it was of no use. Here I am, in my wedding dress. I should be on my way to our honeymoon as planned, but instead... Here we are, unsure of what is happening and hoping my husband makes it back safely.Amethyst is restless in my head. I can feel her pacing, and want9ngvto come out. "We need to go with them, Em. Please? Let me come out; let me go to Asher? He may need us."
Emily"You can't do this to me! Let me out. I swear, I'll kill you. I'll kill all of you son-of-bitches. I swear by the moon goddess that I will kill you all and burn this fucking place down." Hope continued to yell as she kicked and screamed inside the cell we had her locked in. I wanted to ignore it, but she was loud. Too loud if you ask me; causing Harou and Candace to become overwhelmed. It didn't help that our dungeon was just under the pack house, which was heavily guarded making it impossible for her to escape. But... technically she was still linked to our pack because of the thousands-of-year-old treaty. So we could all hear her ranting and mouthing off as she cursed us all.I could hear the arguing inside our Alpha's office, disputing what needed to be done with Hope and Wesley. On the other side, my aunt Emma and our luna, Selene tried to console Candace as she cried in agony. I was starting to feel bad about this whole situation. I felt warm hands wrap around my waist
Emily"Are you sure you are ok with us not going on our honeymoon? I mean everything is set already. I have the tickets, everything!" Tyler continued to try and talk me into leaving with him for our honeymoon. But how can we leave just a few days after the incident with Hope? There are many pack members from the Dark Moon pack that are still badly injured. Even with my healing abilities, it's not enough. I'm strong, but I am not that powerful. Plus, my aunt Emma could only do so much. She has her own clan to take care of, and not all the members of the dark moon pack are willing to let a half-vampire heal them."Ty, I'm fine. We will have plenty of time to go once all this does done. Besides, you have your hands full right now. You've barely slept these past few days. I have to keep running behind you to make sure you eat a full meal." I say, making him give me a slight smile. "I'm sorry, Em.""Don't be. I love my pack, and I'm glad we can b0th help. Let's just wait until things go b
EmilyMany things have happened since the day of the war, good things, as well as bad. After the attack, Hope underwent an extensive recovery full of agony and pain. She not only had to face the reality of her actions but our elders in the council were not easy on her or Wes. They were both stripped of the privilege of being alpha and had to deal with the hatred of many. Everywhere Wesley went, he was ridiculed, spat on, and looked down on, but of course, Selene, and Tyler had a soft spot for him. They defended him every chance they got, and I don't blame them for it. Wes will always be part of our family and so will hope because she is, after all, Wesley's mate. The elders had not just stripped them of their alpha title, but they were demoted to serve Candace as omega. It was hard to watch but I guess they are now learning the consequences of their actions. They tried getting away, flying to the alps where Harou had secretly bought land and had placed it in Hope's name, but again
EmilyCora shifted back again, leaving me before everyone around me. Everyone slowly began to quiet down and stopped fighting, looking at one another with remorse. Too much had been spilled already, and a lot of men and women had already lost their mates and family members.And maybe...I should still be happy. Hope has finally been stopped from all her malice and killing spree. It should bring me joy because I am finally free of her, she won't be able to do any more harm to me or Tyler. She will never be able to hurt someone else, leaving unprotected packs, and killing innocent people, right? But why do I suddenly feel so guilty? “This isn't right,” I whispered to myself, feeling a pang of guilt in my heart. “Emily, you can't feel guilty. There was no other way around this. She caused a lot of harm, she needed to be stopped.” Amethyst says in a hushed tone, but I know she was feeling a bit guilty too. “I didn't want Hope to die, I never meant to hurt anyone, it's not who I am.”“Yo
EmilyI continued to fight, punching a lycan across his face as he tried to claw me on my chest, but I was able to push him away, hitting him across his face with a punch. "God, I'm glad dad talked me into karate lessons. It's much easier to kick your ass." I said, grunting as I kicked him on his jaw, and jabbed my knee into his stomach, making him fall back. But he was reluctant to get to me. He growls as he hits the wall behind him. His eyes fixed on me with a menacing growl. He launches again, but Asher catches him in mid-air. His canines dug into the Lycan's ribs, making him shriek as I hear the cracking of his ribs. Asher then goes for his jugular and rips his throat. The adrenaline surged through my veins, but it was still pretty gruesome to watch, so my eyes turned away as I felt the pit of my stomach churn from the right of blood and exposed insides.We finally get closer to the exit, and I can see Hope and Selene fighting right through the window close to me.She hits Se
Third Person POVFor a moment, it seemed that the tables had turned. Harou had more members than they thought. Mainly because Hope had gotten Wesley to kill off the alpha from other packs around and had forced their members into her pack to make her daddy's pack bigger and stronger. Those who opposed were killed, tortured, or sent into slavery until their spirits were too broken and submitted into servitude for Hariu's pack. Those who willing kneeled to salvage their lives and the lives of their families were forced to pledge their lives and loyalty to Hope and Harou's pack. The more Tyler ripped through one lycan after the other, it seemed more swarming around him, coming out of every corner. He slammed one onto the wall, making the stoned wall break to pieces. He saw another coming, his canines gritting and ready to strike Tyler with his claws. The lycan tackled Ty, digging his claws onto Tyler's side, making him grunt in pain. Tyler exposes his canines and bites him on his shoul
✨✨Third Person POV✨✨A loud symphony is heard as Harou changes into comfortable clothes. He knows war is on the horizon. It's inevitable. The pact he and his best friends have made is now severed by the stubbornness of his offspring. He would have done everything for them, given his life if he had to. His mind still couldn't wrap around the fact that now- he was going to fight against them to save his stubborn, bloodthirsty, power-hungry daughter. He wondered where did he go wrong? Why does malice run through her blood? The poor, innocent daughter he once saw as the sweetest, most caring person in the world, unwilling to harm a fly. He sensed their presence, their aura is too eminent to go unnoticed. It was only minutes before they broke through those doors and ripped him to shreds. And why not? He knew provoking them would only make them erupt in anger. Especially when he picked Tyler's mate as his victim of trade. She was strong, and she doesn't yet realize it. Harou also took
LucianI stood by the crib, looking at a sleeping Alarick. My young boy was finally sound asleep, while one of the omegas feeds my little Molly. I close my eyes, trying to fight back tears. I have to be strong for my pups. They will have a long road ahead without their mom, and me, without my mate.I still can't believe my precious wife is gone. The pain I felt in my heart from losing her doesn't compare to the agony my body went through when the mating bond broke. I don't care what anyone says, she will always be my only one, and I will stay faithful to her. Even after death.I couldn't help but notice there was a lot of commotion outside. I ran my hand through Alarick's back, then went and kissed Molly on her head as I went outside to see what was happening. Warriors and guards were pacing, gearing up for what looked like combat. They wore black cargo pants, long sleeve shirts, and camo boots along with bulletproof vests and full armor with weapons. This pack was fully prepared. I
EmilyI groaned as I came back to. I felt like I was hit by a train. My head pounded and every part of my body felt as if in pain. As my vision came back, I realized I was tied to a chair, my clothes were dirty and I had blood stains on my shoulder and arms. Since the day Ty and I marked each other and became official mates, I heal much faster, so whatever scrapes and bruises I had were already going away, but I can feel that my ribs were still taking a bit to heal. And since my hands were tied, I couldn't do a simple spell to heal myself. “Boss, she's awake.” I heard a voice, making me squint my eyes as I feel my head pounding, looking towards where the voice was coming from. There was a guy standing in the dingy room they had me in. That smell, I know it. It was Harou’s pack. I learned it far too well. Each pack has a distinct smell. You can tell also if it was a werewolf, lycan, or vampire, or any other creature. They all smelled differently. And this... This was definitely Harou
Tyler"Are you guys sure you don't smell her scent anywhere near the pack's territory?" I mind-link my guards, but they all answer the same. Em is nowhere to be found. I can't sense her either. Her smell is not close, I have a very good smell, being able to smell her or anyone in a three-mile radius, but I can't smell her. I can't reach her through mind-link which means she either closed me off or something happened.I decided to call Damian again. I had already called him a few times, but it had taken me directly to voicemail. Hopefully, he answered now. He finally picked up and I immediately began asking him for Emily."Are you sure? How long ago did she leave?" It's been twenty minutes since Emily has been gone. I was on the phone with Damian, ad he sounded concerned as well as soon as I told him I was looking for her. My suspicions were correct, Emily was with Emma. "I'm sure she'll be there soon," he replies, but I can't help feeling something is off."Look, it shouldn't take her
💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨EmilyI was still in my aunt Emma's home, sitting on the couch next to her. I can't help but feel heartbroken and miserable, letting my tears fall. "Please, promise me you'll talk it out with Ty. Sweetie, believe me when I say that Ty loves you. He would do anything for you. I'm sure he had his reasons for what he did. But, you won't know unless you clear things up with him. Hope is just trying to get under your skin. It's what she wants! For you to leave Ty and leave the road clear for her to seduce him." Emma tries to console me. She tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear, cupping my face and smiling at me. I sniffle, giving her a half-hearted smile. "I know. I know he loves me, I feel it. And I believe what you're saying. It's just... He should have given us a chance from the start. We could have been together long ago. And Hope wouldn't have gotten the idea that she had a chance with him." I say, growling. Amethyst couldn't help but growl as well. She
