**Emily’s POV**My head thudded continuously against the soft bed, heat rushing through my blood from the spot where his tongue was driving me utterly insane. My leg flexed on his back, urging him closer, pulling him into me with my hands cupping his head to hold him still as I rocked my hips into his warm mouth. I could feel the rough satin strands of his hair against my sensitive inner thighs, and it aroused me, making a river of liquid arousal flow down there. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips, with his fingers now moving rhythmically inside me.The kiss and his movements were frenzied, I was hot all over and I love the feeling. I liked what he was doing to me and I wanted more.I moaned as his thumb began circling and pressing around my folds slowly, and even screamed out in pure sexual agony when his other hand scooped my hair forcefully off my head and held my head in place. His tongue mirrored the actions of his fingers, claiming me, drilling holes into me. My legs b
**Alexander’s POV**“What do you intend to do now?” Chad’s father asked me with cocked eyebrows, from the corner of my eye, I noticed Chad as well staring intently at me with a kind of curious expression on his face.“Now you know the person responsible for the death of your parents, what do you wish to do with the information?”I sat unmoving, staring at him in confusion. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with the information as well. I was just as confused as they were about the whole issue.“I don’t know,” I murmured. “I just wanted to know and I want to make sure that Emily’s parents aren't responsible for the death of mine.”Even before going to the witches, part of me wanted to believe her parents weren't involved and the other part of me had made me go ahead with what I wanted.“That’s just fine if that’s wh—” Chad started talking.“I plan to avenge their deaths though. He won’t be allowed to go scot-free after murdering my parents because of his selfish intentions!” I interjec
**Alexander’s POV**“Isn’t that a bad idea?” Chad voiced almost immediately. From the look on his face, I could see the worry and the fear gracing his features.I was also worried, worried about myself and every member of my clan. I was worried for Emily too but the seed of vengeance that had been sown in me was too massive, too strong to be swayed by two doubtful worried men.“I do not think it’s such a bad idea.” Chad’s father answered in my stead. He also had this forced look in his eyes that I hadn’t seen in a long while, it made him look ferocious; vengeful even.“Father!” Chad snapped incredulously. “I understand that you are both haunted by the things these people did to you in the past, but doing this now is like putting every single member of this pack in danger!”“I know!” His father snapped back, “we’ll only be putting ourselves in danger and not them. They’re a secret magical tunnel we can hide in!” The way he talked, and the fierceness in his eyes all seemed foreign to me
**Alexander’s POV**It’s been exactly six days since I sent Alpha Marcus of Silver moon pack a victory letter, and ever since, I haven’t heard any news from him.Following Chad’s dad's instructions, I also informed him of my reasons and also reached out to his son, who was responsible for Sophia’s death, in the letter as well.I partly hoped they would apologize and crawl on their knees, asking for forgiveness, but they never did. Instead, they keep mute.“Do not invade his territory. Wait till he infiltrates yours first.” Chad’s father had advised one day in one of our several meetings.“Why?” I questioned, unsure of the reason he would try to change our initial agreement to infiltrate first.“You’re always stronger in your territory.” He had said, and I had heeded his instructions, refusing to go to Marcus first.I was in the middle of a conversation with Chad in my office when suddenly, a loud knock sounded at my door.In irritation, I yelled to whoever it was to come in, only for
**Emily’s POV**I woke up with a jolt when the loud, piercing sound of a gun being fired resonated again in the distance.Frightened, I wrapped the blanket around my naked breasts and shook Alexander, who was still snoring soundly, awake.“They’re here!“ I exclaimed, rushing over to his closet to pick up some decent clothes. We dressed in a hurry, and I couldn’t help but notice how good-looking Alexander was in his battle gear.Although it was my first time seeing him in it, he had it prepared for a while now, waiting for this day.As soon as I was done dressing up and was about to walk out the door, I stopped when I heard Alexander’s worried voice.“Where do you think you’re going to?” He questioned harshly, staring down at me with dark, brooding eyes.“To war with you, of course!” I snapped defiantly, looking up at him with equal fire in my eyes. “You know how capable I am to go into that fight with—”“I don’t care about your capabilities, Emily! I care about your safety!” He growle
**Emily’s POV**I charged angrily towards the troop of Marcus’s incoming soldiers, who were also charging towards Alexander’s soldiers and me. I yelled as I ran, stabbing at everyone in my path and biting off large chunks of flesh from the bodies of the ones who were too stubborn to move away. My target was Marcus, who stood at the end of the field using his dark magic, or his godforsaken son, who was presently engaged in bloody combat with Chad. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Chad fall to the ground and get hovered by Ethan, who brandished a long sword.I still do not know how I did it because I was blinded by rage and guilt- guilt about the deaths of Mary and Malcolm- I dashed towards Ethan from behind and stabbed him in the back of his neck before he could attack Chad.I heard his piercing screams fill the air as blood gushed out of the open wound, drenching his shirt, but I didn’t feel remorse for what I had done to him.Instead, I helped Chad up, ignoring his mumbling appr
**Emily’s POV**The days after the first attack flew past like the wind on a stormy night. A mass burial had been done for Malcolm and the other soldiers who had died during the war, while Alpha Marcus’s soldiers' corpses had been burnt.I couldn’t even face Abby, Malcolm's younger sister, due to the guilt I felt about his death.I was the reason he had come out of that bunker. Something kept whispering to me that If I had adhered to instructions and remained in there, he would’ve still been alive.But at the same time, we might’ve lost the war.My mind was conflicted; I didn’t know what to do or think anymore. I didn’t even know for how long I could live with this amount of guilt pressing down on my chest.As I stood in front of Malcolm's tomb, crying with a banquet of flowers still in my hands, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders, followed by a head which suddenly snuggled into the crook of my neck."Alexander…” I said softly, wiping away the tears that had fallen from my eyes.
**Emily’s POV**I stepped out of the bathroom, humming a song under my breath with a towel around my chest and suddenly stopped when I sighted Alexander sitting on my bed and waiting with a slight smile on his face.“Good morning.” He greeted me, walking over to wrap me in his arms and ignoring the way his shirt immediately soaked through from our contact. “Good morning…” I whispered back, sighing as I snuggled closer into his warmth and almost melted into him when his sweet cologne attacked my senses.I missed him terribly, so terribly it made my heart hurt “I know, and I miss you too.” He said suddenly, making me gasp. As soon as I remembered that he could read through my mind, I chuckled softly, embarrassed.I groaned softly when a strange feeling of lust ignited in the pit of my stomach. It came with such force that I immediately wanted to jump Alexander.I wanted to feel him inside me, to touch him.I didn’t know how to explain it, but I knew that seeing him like this, in this
EMILY POVIt had been Six months, six weeks, Six days, six hours, and six seconds and Alexander was yet to wake up.Everything had been quiet and peaceful ever since Ethan and his father died. But my mate was yet to wake up. Ever since those spears and arrows pierced into his body, he had been unconscious, and the healer of the pack had been doing everything he could. He said he would wake up soon.Perhaps, I should be grateful he was still breathing because Rosie died—even her father.I felt pity for Rosie because I heard in the end, she knew she was wrong and asked for forgiveness. Even though she had caused us pain before, I still appreciated her bravery. She saved me from the spears and arrows. I sat beside Alexander on the bed and wiped his forehead with a small towel and water. Just then, Chad and Mary entered with Liliana. The little girl I saved from Ethan at the mansion six months ago.Liliana jumped on the bed and turned to me."Mommy. When will daddy wake up?" She asked.
EMILY'S POVI knew this part would come where I would have to use my fighting skills."What do you mean my powers won't work here? What did you do to me?!" I yelled.The urge to rush towards him and wipe the smirk off his face filled me.I couldn't do it. He had an advantage over me. He could use his magic, and I couldn't.Ethan disappeared, and he appeared right behind me. I felt his hand on my hair; turning, I swatted his hand away."I guess I need to stop playing," Ethan said.With that, he brought out his sword; it was surrounded by dark magic.He pointed it to me. "If I can't have you, he can't."I let out a breath and stared him in the eyes even as I was frightened about what he'd do to me.Ethan sprinted towards me and bellowed, "Accept me or die, Emily!""Never!" I grunted, dodging his attack.I jumped away from him and scowled. "Get over your obsession with me. I'll never be yours!"That seemed to infuriate him because his eyes narrowed.Ethan rushed towards me, and I dodged
ALEXANDER'S POV"Emily!" I yelled, dropping the sword with me. It clattered to the ground, and I rushed to where she was a while ago."Emily!" Swirling, I yelled again.But I got no response. She was gone. She and Ethan. They both disappeared into thin air.I gripped my head and let out a howl.How dare he?!"I'll kill him; I'll Kill him!" I repeated it over again.My body shuddered, and I gasped out as my heart constricted."I swear by the moon goddess, I'll kill him.""What's wrong?" I heard Chad's voice.But I could not respond to him. The rage that filled me this instant made me want to find Ethan in whatever hole he had crawled into and punch him."Alexander!" Chad gripped my hand, snapping me out of my daze.I turned to stare at him and noticed he was breathing hard with blood all over his clothes. Also., from the corner of my eyes, I saw Mary rushing towards me."Where is Emily? Where is Ethan?" She asked, and immediately I felt something sparkle on her wrist.It was a tattoo.
Emily's POVSword fighting, hitting, stabbing, choking, and kicking occurred in most of the fights. It was the survival of the fittest. I didn't stop fighting, either. Even though I felt fatigued at some point, Alexander would always come to my aid. Then, we teamed up and fought against Ethan."You are mine, Emily," Ethan said obsessively.I presumed it made Alexander furious."No, she is mine. She is my wife, and your declarations over here are pointless. You motherfucker." Alex said possessively. Ariel leapt for joy the moment she heard that."You are a vile man," I said to Ethan."Yes, I am vile and crazy for you, my love," Ethan said and raised his sword up but then Alexander dodged the incoming blow.Alexander roared, and the wind started to blow violently."I have never for once shared my woman with anyone. Emily belongs to me alone. Alone and not you. She is my wife. She is carrying my child. So you have no right over her." Alexander stabbed Ethan with his sword, but he heale
Emily's POVSwiftly, I turned to see Alexander—my mate. The father of my child was standing right behind me. Our eyes locked, and tears slid down my cheek.Immediately he pulled me into a hug, and I wept on his shoulder. Then I saw Mary, Chad and my...oh my goodness! My dad.Despite the tears in my eyes, I couldn't help but frown.I had mentioned to Alexander not to allow him to come over to face off against Ethan because he wasn't strong enough.I pulled away from the embrace and stared into his eyes. I missed him so much.I brushed off the nasty thoughts that swam in my head as I continued staring at him. I knew it wasn't the right place or situation to have such thoughts, but I couldn't help it."Why did you bring him along?" I asked him.Before he could answer the question, Alexander turned and made me take his position. It was then I understood what was going on.Ethan had cut Alexander on his back with his sword. But it didn't work on him. He healed immediately.Ethan might have
Emily's POVBlood spewed out of my mouth as Ethan punched me. Whatever he did to me, I promised myself never to cry.Not now. Not ever.I don't want him to see me as a weakling. Never! I clenched my fist and tried to prevent him from gripping my neck. Just then, a sword appeared in his hand, and he was keen on slitting my throat.But before it could reach my throat, I raised my hand; flames of fire emerged from my palm, and I used it to tackle him instead. I used it to smack his cheek, and I swear it got burnt. Ethan cried out in pain and fell on the floor. The sword disappeared from his hand.Using that opportunity, I got up from the floor and ran out as fast as possible. I ran out of that vicinity, looking for the poor little girl I had just saved—that wicked bastard.When I saw Ethan from afar again, I sprinted to the other side. It was then I saw William and the guard."Have you freed all of them? " I asked, breathing hard.I was exerting too much pressure on my body. I wonder ho
ALEXANDER'S POVNo, this couldn't be! I murmured as I paced around my office.Rosie, Chad, and Emily's dad were all present, trying their best to calm me down. But I couldn't just relax. Knowing that Emily's life was in danger."Fúck!" I growled, doubling over as I felt a twinge at my side. This wasn't the first one. It had happened a few minutes ago, and I knew it was because of Emily.Ethan was torturing her; that was the only way I could feel the pain.I let out a growl and clenched my hands."Calm down. Everything would be okay." Rosie said.Frowning, I turned and faced her.I saw her standing just behind me. The audacity she had to tell me to calm down. How could everything be okay when she was the reason this had happened? I walked closer to her and grabbed her by the neck."How dare you?" I pulled her up by the neck, squeezing the life out of her."Please!" She gasped out.Chad shoved me, but my grip on her neck didn't loosen.I wanted her to feel as much pain as Emily was fe
Emily's POVI was still seated on the floor, trying hard to gather my strength together because the minute I stood up, I wouldn't stop running. I wanted to heal so fast, but I couldn't force Ariel.We were carrying Alex's pup. She was weak and had been craving for her mate. But I told her to be strong. To be strong for Alex, to be strong for the pup we were carrying. "Let me try and heal you. I can't promise you that it will heal completely, but..." Ariel began."Save your strength for healing." I cut her off and sat there. I shut my eyes, not caring if Ethan found me sitting on the large stone. As the healing process began, it was cut short by the people screaming and running as fast as they could. I snapped my eyes open, and immediately, I got up on my feet but ended up falling back on the floor.I realised I couldn't stand on my feet because my wolf was still healing me, but as soon as Ariel noticed my uneasiness, she stopped. So, I got up.The wound on my toes was half healed. I
Emily's POVMaybe this was the moment. The moment when I needed to fight against him, locking me up and trying to force himself on me was enough—the number of people he had killed. Lots of guards, a lot of warriors, his father killed my father once before, he killed Laurel, starving able-bodied men till they don't even have the stamina anymore? What else could he not do?All of that needs to end. The torturing of innocent people, killing of innocent people, had to end. And I promise myself to end him. I turned to William and The guard. The guard was shivering in fear because of the fear he had imprinted on them. I loosened the chain totally and got up on my feet. Placing a hand on his shoulder, I nodded positively. "There is no reason for you to get scared. You can do this. I will help you get out of here." But he still didn't stop. Well, I thought he was a brave guard."Yes! She is right. Don't you remember her? She is our princess before Ethan and his father took over." William a
