~ Matteo ~

I wasn't a fool; I knew precisely what was going through her pretty blonde head. I had handed her the knife for a reason; I wanted to know exactly what was going on in her sly mind. I had never really spent a lot of time with gypsies, but I knew they hated to be locked up; they craved the freedom and space to roam. The week she had spent confined was bound to be getting to her, and I doubt very much the auction house offered her outdoor space.

"All good?" I asked as I bent down to pick up a frying pan.

"Yep!" She snapped, popping the P. A smile curled to my lips; she was a stubborn one! Without looking over my shoulder at her, I placed the pan on the hob and sprayed a little oil onto it. Now, she had two weapons. I was genuinely curious what she would do with the opportunity placed in front of her.

"I hope you like chicken!" I mused as I returned to the fridge and pulled out diced chicken to fry. Turning, I came face to face with her cute little face, staring at me with

    ~ Emmy ~ I felt so relaxed, sprawled out on my stomach on the sofa, arms tucked under the pillow my head was resting on, my legs swaying back and forth as I watched the end of my film. Or rather, read it. I still had the subtitles on, too stubborn to ask Matteo to show me how to work the damn thing. I watched the beautiful Julia Roberts get her man with a small smile. "See, just because you are from different backgrounds doesn't mean it won't work out," Rae assured me; rolling my eyes, I looked over at where Matteo was sitting in the dining area, looking over some files; his handsome features screwed up in frustration, making me pout at the change in him. He had cooked us dinner, we ate together, and just like that, as he cleaned up, all the flirty banter was replaced with a seriousness I didn't like; despite my request to sit with me, he pulled his laptop out and started working. "The fact he brought me at an auction is why it won't work, Rae!" I grumbled, dragging my eyes back t

    ~ Matteo ~ "Right now, fuck all! But usually, she just drones on about stupid shit!" She muttered, and my lips twisted into a sly smirk, knowing precisely what she meant by 'stupid shit.' And it tickled me that for someone as brazen as her, who claimed to be experienced with sex, she couldn't bring herself to voice these things with me. I wanted there to be no boundaries between us, none at all. I liked sex; it was clear she was the same way inclined, so why the need to beat around the bush when she can simply ask for what she needs?"Like?" I asked with another seductive roll of my hips, determined to get my way. "STOP DOING THAT!" She moaned, a smirk toying at my lips, feeling heat shoot to her core, her cheeks flushed with that beautiful rose I liked to see her wear."Tell me, and I will." I laughed; my hands, which had her petite fingers entangled in them, moved to pin her arms above her head, using one hand to secure them so my free hand could roam her body suggestively. Glidin

    ~ Emmy ~ "Your mate?" I asked, arching a brow, my hand resting on my hip as I popped it out. "Tell me, do you eat all your friend's pussy’s!" I asked, irritated. "I don't mean." He stammered over his word like a damn child, not the mafia boss he liked to play at being. "No, it's fine." I snorted, shaking my head, embarrassed that even for a moment, I thought I could be more to him than property or, as he put it, a mate! He was rich and handsome, and despite being clearly batshit crazy, I wanted him! But I was a realist; what would someone like that want with me? I mean, other than somewhere to stick his dick when it got cold. "Esme.." "It's Emmy!" I snapped, crossing my arm around my chest, "It's Emmy! You don't get to call me Esme; that is... special!" I announced, controlling my breath in the hopes it would hold back the tears I felt brewing. "Friends... Mates.. they call me Emmy!" I added with a huff; turning on my heels, I stormed towards the exit. Feeling him hot on my t

    ~ Matteo ~"She isn't ready!" Blaze growled as he watched Esme via my eyes; although her gaze was scanning me with curiosity, I could see my wolf's point. Her breathing was slow as she braced herself for whatever I was about to do. Her hands slid in front of her, and I watched her pick at her nail beds, something I had seen her do the night she was dragged onto the stage at the auction house, a habit I could only assume was down to her nerves. I wanted to break her in slowly, but the more time I spent with her, the harder it was to ignore the mate bond. And I refused to force it. She had been through enough without a forced mating as well. That is not how I wanted her to find out what she was! BUT If she didn't believe me now, there was only one way she would. By showing her Blaze so, she had something undisputable at her disposal. Which I was prepared to do; however, it seemed Blaze was not, which left me at a bit of a disadvantage. "Are you going to show me?" She sassed stubbornl

    ~ Emmy ~ This was unbelievable. How had I ended up being the asshole! Because he couldn't have a damn adult conversation? Or because I didn't want to delve into a fantasy world where wolves existed. "Werewolves!" Rae corrected me, earning a scoff from me. "Oh yes, how did I forget!" I added, rolling my eyes as I fell back on the sofa. "So not only do werewolves exist in his delusional world.. but he is one!" I expressed my bafflement at how a powerful man could be this out of touch with reality. I can't be the only one worried for his sanity! "You are one, too!" Rae offered, her tone bashful. Snorting, I ignored her and closed my eyes to control my breathing. "Would that really be so bad? Haven't you ever wondered if they exist or, for a moment, thought you could see into the supernatural world? A human that looked like a vampire, or a dog that was far too large to be a dog, a glimmer of light that could be... a fae?" Ignoring her, I slowly opened my eyes, shocked to see no ti

    ~ Emmy ~There was something dark and dangerous in his smirk that had my sex clenching like the sinner it was. His tattooed knuckles lifted to run over my cheek, pulling a throaty moan from my lips that betrayed my words. "I don't need to ask. You want to." He grinned, and like fuck did I ever! But I was far too stubborn and pig-headed to admit that, so I pursed my lips to hold back the insult that played on the tip of my tongue. His knuckles ran over my lips in a burning touch that had them parting needily. Pissed at how easily my body gave in to him, I growled, and quicker than he expected, I nipped his thumb roughly, my eyes looking up at him through my lashes, loving the sheer madness circling in his emerald hues."Such a tease!" He grinned, slowly removing his knuckle from my jaw; "I do like it when you bite.. so I am game if you are!" He warned. I smirked at him wantonly. am game¬!

    ~ Emmy ~"What's with the demands? I know what to do!" I lied and made a tentative fist around his huge steel, stroking it up and down, wondering about the friction, if it felt good and if I was holding it correctly. Did I have a good tempo? Shit, why was it so warm, was it meant to be? I was in such a state of discovery that I felt my core tighten in another wave of arousal, forcing a husky whimper from my lips, that I regretted the second I heard the growl that ripped from his throat. His eyes let me know he knew just how turned-on I was. "Enjoying yourself, little dove." He purred seductively, the way he said my nickname alone enough to make my pussy drool. Fuck he was killing me, and he wasn't even touching me...yet!"Fuck you!" I laughed, clenching my thighs, begging my pussy to behave. "I will later, but now I want you to stroke me harder like the good girl; I know you want to be for me." My body's response to his words was so utterly unexpected that my hands paused. "Whose

    ~ Matteo ~"She did warn you!" Blaze barked out with a laugh that made my eyes roll."I know she did, but surely she knows how much that shit hurts!" I groaned, my hands tight in her hair, giving it a yank as I pushed her back off her knees to her ass with a snarl. "Bight my balls again, baby, and you won't be walking straight for a week," I added with a firmness twisted into my tone, that given how her face screwed up, I knew she understood. "Promises, promises!" She provoked with a pout playing on her lips, she looked up at me from where she lay on the floor, and I had to fight the urge to flip her onto her stomach and spank that rebellious little ass of hers. "Later?" Blaze asked in excitement."Maybe!" I laughed with a subtle roll of my eyes as I watched my girl glare at me. "You are a little overdressed, don't you think!" I nodded to the jammies she still wore, "Considering I am naked." I added, motioning to my body with pride; I had spent many hours in the gym working up a s

    ~ Emmy ~I awoke with a start, my heart pounding in my chest, my body drenched in sweat. The darkness around me felt oppressive, the dream lingering like a heavy fog in my mind. I could still see my mother’s haunted eyes, and hear her desperate pleas. But what had she whispered? What was it that I wasn’t supposed to know?Rae stirred within me, sensing my turmoil. “What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice echoing softly in my mind.“I saw her, Rae,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “I saw my mother. She was running from something, a creature... and she handed me over to the Ma who raised me. She said I must never know what I am, that I am in danger. But she whispered something I couldn’t hear.” Rae was silent for a moment, processing my words. “Dreams can be powerful, Emmy. They can show us things from our past, our deepest fears, or even glimpses of the future. Whatever it is your mother whispered, it’s important. When we are out of this cave we will work it out, I promise.” I took a deep

    ~ Emmy ~My feet moved quickly, hoping to find shelter from the prying eyes I felt boring into my back. Eventually, I came to a grand staircase that spiralled down into what looked like a vast hall below. Taking a deep breath, I started down the stairs, avidly aware of the fact I was naked, filthy and smelt like arse. My mind raced with thoughts of what might await me. I had to stay focused and strong. "Emmy, you’ve got this," I told myself. This place, no matter how enchanting, would not break me.As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I found myself in a grand hall that was even more extravagant than the room I had started in. Massive chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their crystals sparkling in the candlelight. Marble floors gleamed beneath my feet, and towering columns lined the room, their surfaces carved with intricate patterns that seemed to tell a story of their own."Someone hasn't heard of the saying less is more." I marvelled aloud as I looked around the rather over-th

    ~ Emmy ~ Rae had exhausted herself running through the demonic realm and had finally given me control while she slept. We were hidden away in a dark cave, the air thick and heavy with the scent of sulphur and despair. She had commanded me to stay put, to rest, but sitting still had never been my strong suit. "It's just a while longer." I sighed as I looked around the cave. It was pitch black, and the silence was suffocating, I could hear the distant echoes of tortured souls, the cries of the damned: not exactly helping me relax. My heart ached with the weight of hopelessness, and I started to feel despair creeping into my soul."Ahhh, this is killing me." I moaned loudly. Unable to sit still any longer, I began to pace the cave. Every step felt like a rebellion against the darkness that threatened to swallow me whole. My eyes slowly adjusted to the inky blackness, but there was little to see beyond the jagged walls and the occasional scatter of bones. My mind raced with thoughts of

As if understanding the situation Levi and Hank nodded to Everlyn and the book she had pulled out of her bag."We need to infiltrate the wedding," Evelyn declared, her tone resolute. "We can use the gathering to our advantage. With so many supernatural beings in one place, it'll be chaotic. It'll give us a chance to find Emmy and Lula, and possibly stop Wyatt's father before he completes whatever ritual he's planning." I nodded slowly, the wheels in my mind turning. It was risky, but Evelyn was right. This could be our best chance to strike. "Alright," I said. "What do you need from us?""We need to sneak into the wedding," Evelyn began to outline her plan with a determined expression, her green eyes flickering with urgency.

    ~Matteo ~I stood in the clubhouse, irritation boiling just beneath the surface. The door had been left unlocked—a careless mistake that could cost lives, especially since we had just been attacked. I was about to rip Levi a new one, despite Hank trying to defend his brother's idiocy, when I noticed Levi talking with a woman. I paused, listening to their conversation. "She is his mate, the witch?" I mouthed to Hank who nodded, a slight glimmer of jealousy shining in his eyes. Which I guessed was down to the fact that she was striking. Her rich, deep auburn hair fell in loose waves down to her shoulders, catching the dim light and adding a warmth to the otherwise grim room. Her piercing green eyes, sharp and intelligent, missed nothing as they darted around, assessing every detail. Except apparently the group of wolves behind her! Regardless they held a depth that spoke of experience and resilience, something that drew my attention.Her skin was fair, almost glowing, hinting at time s

    ~ Wyatt ~Levi and I travelled back to the club using my powers of teleportation. As we landed, I couldn’t help but smirk when he doubled over, retching onto the floor. It was a sight I had grown accustomed to, one that never failed to amuse me.“Magic doesn’t suit everyone,” I teased, clapping him on the back as he wiped his mouth. “You’d think dating a witch would toughen you up a bit, but here you are, still can’t stomach a simple teleportation spell.”Levi shot me a glare, but his usual retort was missing. He was too tense, too on edge to indulge in the back-and-forth banter battle that seemed to be 'our thing'. I understood why. The club was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to its usual hustle and bustle. Everyone had dispersed, off to complete their tasks, leaving the place feeling empty and hollow.I took a seat at the bar, leaning back as I watched Levi pace back and forth. "What's up squirrel?" I asked as he rounded to look at me."Squirrel?" He repeated his nose screwed up wi

    ~ Emmy ~ From out of the shadows, the winged beast emerged, its massive black wings unfurling and casting an ominous shadow over the already bleak landscape. Fear gripped me and Rae, our shared anxiety intensifying as the creature drew closer. This time, we could see it more clearly, and the sight was enough to make my blood run cold.The beast was monstrous, its eyes glowing with a malevolent fire. Its teeth were jagged and pointed, each one coated in the blood of its victims, gleaming sickeningly in the dim red light that permeated the realm. The talons on its feet were sharp and shining, looking like they could easily pierce through Rae’s fur and flesh.Rae’s instincts screamed at her to run, but she stood her ground, her body tense and ready to react. I could feel her muscles coiled like springs, prepared to leap or dodge at the slightest hint of an attack.“We have to stay calm,” I whispered to her, trying to steady my own racing heart. “We can’t outrun it, but maybe we can outs

    ~ Matteo ~ "And who do you think you are?" Mr White sneered, his smirk faltering, replaced by a flash of anger and fear. He leaned forward, trying to regain his composure. In the balcony door reflection, I watched as Samuel leaned in, matching his intensity. "The end of the line for you, I am afraid." He chortled, uncaring for his feelings. "Unless you can give me the information I need," I announced as I turned from the balcony, happy that my pack were doing their jobs. "I am afraid I am going to have to let Samuel here tear you apart..." "He will have to get in line.." Hank growled from the other side of me, a smile splitting my lips. "You all will," Blaze announced through the pack link. "So shall we.." I motioned for Mr White to give me what I needed.

Mr. White exclaimed, his voice as oily as his appearance. He tried to mask his nervousness with a wide, insincere grin. "Welcome, welcome! And your friends, of course. How is Emmy doing? Serving you well, I hope?" I clenched my jaw, ready to respond, but Samuel stepped forward, cutting me off. "What are tonight's auctions?" he asked, his voice sharp and to the point. Mr. White blinked, taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure. "Ah, yes, the auctions," he conveyed, rubbing his hands together. "Tonight, we have three very special women up for bid."
