She glances over to the counter, walking slowly towards the barista. A tall, well-fit man with dark jet black hair, hazel-green eyes, and a handsome smile that is perfectly paired with gorgeous deep dimples walks up to the counter as well.
They both grab their drinks at the same time. Stealing a stare from each other for a few unregretful long seconds that her heart whispers 'make it last forever. She can't help but blush at the sight of his beautiful smile, his deep dimples on his cheeks make it difficult for her to decide whether to look into his hypnotizing eyes or smile.
"Morning m'lady!" He says cheerfully. She somehow finds herself lost for words, making him chuckle. "Well, you have a good day now." He raises his cup and salutes her, taking a small sip and walking away.
She blinks a few times, unable to believe she has become mute for the first time in front of a man. She sighs, closing her eyes. Tilts her head back, exhaling deeply, as she puffs her cheeks.
"Um, Emily, your coffee!" The young barista calls out to her making her come back from her trance.
"Thanks, Tim." She finally answers as she walks back to her seat.
Realizing he stands outside, speaking to two other great-looking men, she feels her face heated with embarrassment and an uncontrollable whirl of butterflies in her stomach. Something inside, inexplicable, compelling her to run out and kiss him. She doesn't understand the feeling, it's as if a magnet was pulling her, though she fights it as she averts her eyes back to her screen, her fingers unwilling to move to her command and suddenly her whole body feels shaky.
"What the hell is wrong with you Em? You don't even know this guy! Even if he is the most gorgeous specimen you've ever seen in your entire life, AND in the existence of all mankind, and this world." She grips her coffee and sips on it hoping the slurping of the cup will distract her from his presence.
She slowly looks out again and sees him sitting inside the pretty convertible parked up in front of the coffee house. He can't help but look her way, smiling and winking an eye at her making her break into a hot blush on her face.
She quickly looks away and towards her screen, slowly slouching her body down so her face is covered by the computer screen. She closes her eyes, taking a deep sigh, puffing her cheeks. She's startled when she opens her eyes and sees Chloe, her best friend in front of her. Jumping in suspense at the sudden appearance of her best friend and daughter of the owner of the coffee shop, she tilts her cup, spilling some of the ice blends on her left thigh. The chill of the ice-making her goosebump as she feels the coldness penetrate through her jeans.
"Oh, shit! Chloe? what the hell!? You scared me." She narrows her eyebrows looking at her for a second before looking down to clean her jeans with the napkins.
Chloe chuckles sitting next to her, noticing the car is still parked outside and three great-looking guys sitting inside it.
Tyler on the driver's seat, followed by Liam, gamma of the pack; and Chester, the top guard, and delta of their pack sits comfortably on the back seat. His hands resting on top of the seat as he tilts his head back to rest.
"Ahem! " Chloe clears her throat to grab Emily's attention. She looks back at her and gives her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, you were saying?" Chloe chuckles, nodding her head and biting her lower lip. She gestures towards the car seeing the three men talking and reviewing a few papers they hold in their hands.
"Do you know those guys? They are seriously hot, aren't they?"
"Um, no! I don't. Know. Any of them, aren't you suppose to be working already? That's why you made me rush out here from my office didn't you?" She steals another glance and shivers as she feels him staring back at her. His gaze penetrating her, unwilling, an inexplicable attraction she cannot understand. She had never felt such attraction for anyone before, not even for Carter, her ex-boyfriend who she had dated back in high school, though they only lasted a few weeks together, he had been the closest thing Emily had known to feel attraction towards the opposite sex.
"Well, it looks like he found you quite attractive. He can't seem to look away from you either. Why haven't you gone to say hi?" Chloe suggested.
Emily chuckles looking away from the window, "Are you crazy? I don't even know him. Besides, he's so good-looking, I'm sure he is already taken. It looks like he could be one of those tourists in town for our annual fall festival too. There are so many tourists in town, I'd probably never see him again."
She sighs and turns to her laptop and fixes her glasses back on the curve of her nose.
She closes her eyes and runs her fingers through her hair. Keeping her hands steady on her neck and tilting her head back.
"Excuse me miss?" She's startled, jumping in place as a male voice calls out to her.
"Shit! You scared me. Can I help you with something?" She squints her eyes and sighs.
Liam chuckles and leans close to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. But, you see, we're in town for a few days, and I was wondering if you knew of someone that could show us around. My friends and I don't get out much, business tends to keep us pretty busy you know? So anyway, we are not very familiar with people around here. Care to be our guide for a few days?" Liam gives her a cheeky smile and Chloe can't help but laugh, covering her mouth to muffle her laughter.
"I'm sorry, do I look like a personal guide to you? Because I'm not! and frankly, I'm far too busy to be a personal guide to three complete strangers who I don't even know, for all I know, you could be serial killers or-" She crosses her hands over her chest and wrinkled her nose.
"Wow! hold on there Em! You are getting way over your head. Relax my child, it was just a suggestion and you could just say no. Nicely!" Chloe chuckles holding her arms out and asking Emily to relax.
"Look, I can assure you that we are not serial killers, ok? But, we are here for only a few days in town for business. We just wanted to know what the big fuss was about and see if it was worth it for us to close the deal with Reynolds and Mitchell Investments. So, if you're not interested then-"
"How about we meet tonight, and I can show you guys around?" She smiles, tilting her head to the side.
"Actually, how about we meet at the vineyard that's by the entrance to town? We're staying at their inn, and I'm sure my boss would love to go and get something good to eat. Care to show us a good place to eat for lunch?" He smiles and looks towards the car.
He notices Tyler is completely annoyed and in any second, if he doesn't come out, Tyler will drive away without him and he will either have to take an uber or walk back to their room.
"Ok. I can do that! I will meet you guys there in a few hours." She smiles and looks at Chloe who bites her lower lip and widens her eyes in surprise.
"Good. I will see you then. Or should I say, we will see you in a few hours?" He takes out a card and hands it to her.
"Call us when you're near. We look forward to seeing the beauties your town has to offer." He clicks his tongue and winks at her, turning on his heel and exiting the coffee shop.
He runs out to the car, Tyler stares at him and he shrugs his shoulders before entering the car. The car speeds off quickly, making her look confused. Did the other guys really want her as a guide? Or was this just a trick to get to know her? All she knew, was that she had to try her best and impress them so that if they really were here to do business with her parents, it would all go smoothly in the end.

Third Person POVLiam sits on the passenger's side of the convertible. He pushes his sunglasses up on the curve of his nose and bops his head to the music.He places his elbow on top of the car door resting his head on his knuckles. Tyler sits in the driver's seat. His jaw clenches and his eyebrows narrow in frustration."Come on now man! You can't deny you wanna go in there and claim the girl. I can see right through you. She's your mate, isn't she? I think I did you the favor by asking her to be our guide for the days we gotta be here. Remember, Selene said you can't go back empty-handed. She wants to meet Emily." Liam chuckles and glances towards the window where Emily sits."Shut up Liam! Don't you think I want to? " He runs his hands through his hair and sighs deeply."She is so
Emily quickly turns into her driveway, placing her car in park and turning off the engine as if she was in a rush. She gets off quickly and runs inside her home, surprised that her door is unlocked. She feels shaking and distraught. Resting on the door after she has slammed it shut behind her."Emily? Why are you slamming the door sweetheart? What's the matter with you?" Her mom is at the kitchen stirring her delicious chocolate chip cookie dough."Sorry, mom. I just, ugh!" She closes her eyes tight and gulps down hard as she slowly makes her way and sits on a barstool at the kitchen island holding the back of her neck with her right hand."Why are you here at my place again?" She squints her eye looking at her mom confused and tired. Her mom chuckles as she continues to mix her cookie batter."Well, I f

I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR COLLABORATION AND SUPPORT.*********Tyler's POV"Hey, boss. . .she's downstairs waiting. What do you want me to do? You want to call it off or-" Chester brings me out of my trance as I walk to and fro in the living room of my room. I was really nervous, but her smell was driving me crazy. I could smell her from way up here, and the more her smell of vanilla and wildflowers lingers in the air, the more my wolf Asher gets impatient."Send her up," I answered without hesitation. I can't take this anymore. I have to do something about this. I don't know how I will react when I have her in front of me if I am to reject her. . . then I have to do it quickly
EmilyTyler had just given me the best welcome into his life. It wasn't like me to sleep with a guy just like that, hell, I've never been with any guy, period. But there was something different about him.I was a girl who could not be dominated, but he managed to dominate me and claim me as his own just with one stare of those beautiful eyes of his.He had a darkness to him that I cannot explain. But I liked, no- loved about him.I laid on his chest. He felt so strong and rough. His muscles were still tense even after we had both reached our climax together. I won't lie, I was content for some reason. He brought peace to me I can't explain, but I was also freaking out a little. We didn't use any protection at all, and he didn't seem to care that he had finished inside me.I hope that
EmilyI was startled when he threw me on the car seat of his beautiful convertible with leather seats. After he places my seatbelt on, he leans down and glares at me with fury. I love it, I won't lie, but I won't let him see he has full control over me."I told you to stay in the room with me. Why didn't you listen to me?" He says trying to hide his frustration."And I told you I had a previous engagement. I told you I was coming back." I sneered back giving him an attitude. He makes a growling sound making me startled."A date Em! You had a fucking date on the same day we mate and. . . ." He curses through gritted teeth and closes his eyes."How could you come and meet this douchbag? He was nothing but an asshole with you.""I can handle myself, ok? I was trying to come here and break it off, but he wouldn't s
TylerI began to get near our pack's territory. We were probably about ten miles away from entering when I realized the fast glimpse of a rogue wolf. Then another, and another.I could sense the rush as I thought of how good of a thrill it will be to end these low scumbags. The last time we had a rogue attack, they took my first mate away, they had the advantage of my absence. But this time, I was sure to rip them apart.I needed to alert my pack, tell them my situation. One thing I like about being a primord is we can mind link each other, even if we are miles away from our pack."Blake, I'm coming near our pack's territory, I'm coming home. Guards, stay on the lookout, there are rogues in the area. Make sure I am not being followed too close to our territory." I knew soon as I alerted the guards, there
TylerLocation: Alpha Blake's officeWesley sat on the chair prompt in front of the desk. Blake sat on his chair, Harou sat on the desk corner with one leg resting on the desk, the other steady on the floor. Damian, leader of the primord vampires, sat in the sitting area on the right side of the desk.I paced back and forth on the new wooden floor. Pensive, my arms crossed behind my back."How do I know you're not lying to me? Surely mother would have mentioned you to us. Why didn't she tell us about you? And why the fuck did you have to attack us? Especially using those stupid rogues. My mate could have gotten hurt. Did you not think about this?" I was angry, completely fucking angry.Wesley sighed, he sat back on that chair like he d
EmilySelene and I soon made great friends. We talked as if we had known each other for a very long time, we sat down and ate together on the kitchen island. She had an elder lady come in and prepare food for us, which we made her sit down as well and eat with us.The elder lady reminded me so much of the nanny that took care of mom when she was living with my grandpa in California. Though I felt a bit off place because I was used to making my own meals. I wasn't used to having people tend to me."Selene is it ok that I stay here in your house? I don't want to be a burden. It was a last-minute decision, and I honestly don't even know how Ty and I ended up coming here without calling to ask first, it was a hesitant decision, I-""Emily, this is not my house, it's Ty's. And yours now. You don't have to exp
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
