Entering the kitchen, Emmaline eyed the maids who were busy preparing the delicious dishes. The sweet aroma wafting in the air brought a small smile to her face. Isabella had big plans for today. She called the maids to bring Emmaline out of her room and bring her to the kitchen. Reason- she wanted her to prepare the breakfast although watching the variety of dishes covering the entire kitchen island spoke otherwise. There was no dish left untouched or unprepared which left Emmaline wondering what new she would be cooking for the dysfunctional family. "Luna" Emmaline jumped upon her name being called. She turned to her left only to see the senior maid approaching her with a wide smile. She immediately recognized her as she was the one who used to deliver her meals on her doorstep. "Uhmm, you?" "Janice. I am the head chef." Janice spoke and flashed her a smile that reached her wrinkled eyes. Janice was an old woman. She was the senior servant serving the Knight family for decades.
Frustration.Helplessness.Rage.All these emotions rushed through the Alpha's veins when he came to know that the person who hurt his mate was none other than his mother.Removing his hands from Emmaline, Damien stepped back and turned to Isabella but a frown settled on his brows after watching the dirt patches on her gown."What happened Mom?"His voice held concern which instantly made Emmaline prepare for the worst. She knew another fabricated story was on the way because as usual, Isabella would project her in the wrong light.Isabella leaped towards Damien, her eyes stinging with heavy tears, "Why should I even tell you that? Your mate keeps hurting me yet you do nothing and worse, ask for her well-being." She sneered.Damien clenched his jaw, the veins on his forehead throbbed. Turning to Emmaline who had her eyes glued to the ground, he clutched her right forearm and yanked her closer, "What the fuck is wrong with you, HUH?? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN'T HURT MY FAMILY?
Twenty minutes before No sooner had Damien left with Isabella than Zion picked up his chance to annoy Emmaline. He smirked watching Emmaline who was staring at their retreating figures and walked closer to her. “You lived in New York right; then why do you behave like a caveman?”, he took a jibe. Emmaline immediately looked at him and shot him a death glare, “Fuck off” she sneered and tried to walk past him when he grabbed her hand. She looked at him only to find his stern gaze set on her. The humor was long gone and was replaced with a grim expression. “Misbehaving with Madam is beyond the pale, Emmaline. No wonder if you’re a Luna, the pack would rip your heart out if you hurt Alpha’s parents. They are the cornerstone of this pack, we won’t hesitate to kill anyone who flouts their authority.” Zion threatened her. Ryan immediately jumped in between and pushed him away from Emmaline. “Stay within your limits. She is the Luna, Zion.” “Beta”, Zion sneered in his face taking him by
Emmaline stared at the glowing ball embroidered on the dark canvas with a small smile stretched over her pink lips. That ball resembled a beacon of hope. It was the only source of light illuminating the endless dark sky, the only source which tells the world that there was still a ray of hope on which they can rely. Something potent which promises them the end is still very far if they just hold on to that small hope and keep moving forward. When the depressed Luna had lost her will to fight, she met someone amongst the monsters who provided her an anchor to keep her spirit alive. To not back out and accept slavery, giving them the satisfaction they longed for. Her ray of hope was none other than Zion, Beta of the Shadow Banes. An unexpected savior who promised her to be her lifeline. Emmaline smiled while remembering their secretive meeting where she came to know his real intentions. He wasn't a foe but a friend, a true friend who used to look after her secretly while living in the
EmmalineAs expected, Zion came up with a nearly impossible yet gruesome task to punish me for not recognizing him. My interrogation dented his ego and I ended up losing my credibility to him. But these men love to toy with me so the Almighty decided to give me a second chance if I succeed in accomplishing his task."I need to make sure you won't back off and for that, you need you to pass a single test."I knew this was coming and, also that his test would nowhere be simple. Still, I maintained my calm and nodded."I am willing to do anything which would lead to Xander's destruction. So, speak."Zion smirked at my composed posture and nestled his hand in the pocket of his pants before dropping the bomb on me."Earn Damien's trust."Frankly speaking, that wasn't too difficult for me because when I was about to move in with Damien, I had already planned to make him fall so hard for me that he wouldn't dare to deny me any wish. But things took a devastating turn. Damien flipped the tabl
Mature content ahead.Damien gazed at my perked nipples, yearning for his attention.His eyes turn dark. Hunger and lust were prominent in his metallic shards.‘No, what the hell is wrong with me? Instead of protecting myself, I am busy gauging his expression.’"STOP STARING!!"Screaming in panic, I forced my body to turn around and struggled to free my hands.My resistance only fuelled his anger. Damien roughly pulled me to my original spot and before I could object, he groped my left bosom in his callous palm."You can't run away from me. I am your fucking husband now!!"He tried to put sense in me thinking that I was defying him because I was afraid. When the truth was completely the opposite, I was fearing for giving in to him.Goosebumps laced my skin as he flicked my left nip with his thumb before pulling it with his index finger and thumb. Wincing out loud, I tried to squat, twisted and turned myself to and fro, something which could help me escape.Peeved, Damien crouched and
*Thrash**Thrash**Thrash*One by one, the expensive baroque chairs crashed against the wall, joining the pile of shards of glasses, fabric, and other exquisite items lying on the floor."AHH!!"A ferocious snarl followed by another loud breaking sound reverberated through the room as Damien bit by bit destroyed his neat study."HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME, EMMALINE! HOW DARE YOU!!"He roared before marching towards the drapes and roughly pulling them. His claws extended as he started tearing the heavy silk curtains unleashing his rage.Yesterday was phenomenal, a day for which he had been waiting for so long. The beautiful night had reached its pinnacle. The two bodies glistening in sweat were about to become one in the sparkling moonlight with the intense moment taking a sizzling and passionate turn only if Emmaline hadn't ruined it by making him remember her place in his house, in his pack, and in his life.FlashbackThe clouds of paradise disappeared leaving blisters of bitter real
“FUCKING HELL!!!”Damien upended the table before kicking it harshly. Her every single word was a constant reminder that he holds no worth in her life. For her, he was only a riffraff and, despite knowing his condition, she left him helpless and needy by stabbing his heart with ruthless taunts.“I will avenge my parents. Neither you nor any power in the world can stop me from killing your entire pack. History will repeat and justice will be served. Xander will be punished for his sins and I will snatch back what was once mine.”“GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!!” Damien started hitting his head with his fists and pulled his hair in frustration.He was losing his mind. The slight hope in his heart to win his mate fleeted like a flame after Emmaline’s cruel rejection last night.Damien was in his own world, he thought that if he gives her so much love, she would forget about her revenge and accepts his family. Embrace the present and forget whatever happened in the past. But the rage, fire,
"When a woman takes revenge, even the demon sits down to take lessons"“ENOUGH!!!”Emmaline yelled at the top of her lungs. Her face was drenched in tears but she continued glaring through her misted eyes showing him the glimpse of hatred his words had stirred inside her.“You’re the worst person I’ve ever met in my life. Shame... fucking shame on you.” She seethed, her voice trembling depicting how much she was mad. Rubbing his cheek, Damien whipped his burning gaze at her. Pressing his lips in a thin line, he stalked closer to her when Emmaline raised her palm making him halt.“No, don’t you dare,” She snarled with a clenched jaw shocking him.“You’ve lost the right to approach me. You’ve all the respect in my eyes. Mate you say, I wouldn’t even own a fucking pet like you. Today you surpassed all the limits of cruelty. I gave you my innocence and you… I can’t believe you. So, I was right all along. This has been your plan since the beginning. I was such a fool to come into your trap
"Perhaps you forgot that I am the bigger player, sweetheart"EmmalineThe moment I opened my eyes, I came face to face with Damien who was sleeping beside me like a baby. His arms were wrapped around me tightly and his face looked peaceful. How can someone look so handsome yet cute while sleeping?Last night was fabulous. I thought that I would start my morning with tears and my chest constricting in regret feeling embarrassed of my actions but instead, it was just the opposite. I felt energetic and complete. As if a boulder has been lifted off my shoulder.I’ve realized that in order to accomplish my goal, the first and most important thing I have to do is accept who I am. I am a Lycan and to make it easier, I am not a human. So, I have to abandon those feelings and forget about my past life. I ain’t Emmaline Dawson anymore but Emmaline Knight, Luna of Shadowed Banes who in reality is a Lycan’s Princess. Whose purpose of life is to destroy the Shadowed Banes and restore the supremacy
Mature content 18+The golden lights poured into the room illuminating the two figures that were entangled on the bed like vines. Where one was still cherishing the dreams, the other was wide awake staring at his dream.Damien had a small smile on his face as he watched Emmaline who was sleeping like a baby in his arms. Her one arm was coiled around his waist as she hugged him tightly with her legs on his muscular thighs, straddling him. She was snoring like a baby which indicated that she was a heavy sleeper because it was past 8 when she usually wakes up before dawn. But looks like today she took a day off.His eyes caressed her face and rested on her parted lips. Scooting closer, Damien cupped her face and caressed her cheek with his thumb. His eyes exuded the mad love he has for her. His eyes then dropped to her cleavage which was on full display. Instantly his smile faltered but surprisingly, no expression crossed his eyes as he pulled the duvet up and covered her chest before pr
The blue eyes that hadn't gotten a wink of sleep were dead set on the man who was sprawled on the bed with his eyes closed. His handsome face glowed under the moonlight that seeped into the room through the slits of the white blinds draped over the huge French windows.With her cheek squished against her left fist and her elbow resting against the armrest of the chair, Emmaline didn't let her eyes stray for a moment and kept them fixated on Damien. Her mind was blank, with no thoughts, no feelings, nothing. She felt empty, her face completely devoid of emotions. Her skin was laced with goosebumps because of the freezing winds that came gushing inside the room with a loud rumble but even they failed to break her trance.After embarrassing the Knight couple, Zion left Emmaline alone with Damien. The Alpha didn't regain consciousness because of the severe injuries and heavy doses of medicines. So before leaving Zion had requested her to dress his wounds but no sooner had he left the room
"Argg!!"Groaning out loud, Emmaline massaged her head as she stood up from the ground. Her face contorted in discomfort as she could feel the twigs and grass piercing her skin."God. It feels like I have been run over by a truck."Biting her lips, she brought her aching legs closer to her chest and glanced at her naked self which was covered in dirt. She scrunched her nose and began brushing away the dust when she heard someone calling her from behind."Em-Oh God,"Zion shouted as he approached her from behind only to freeze in place. With eyes widened to the size of saucers, he quickly covered her with a weave he was carrying. Emmaline smiled and wrapped it around her tightly."Here, I bought clothes for you sissy," Ryder grinned as he emerged from Zion's back and handed Emmaline a blue shirt and black trousers."Thanks," Emmaline said and took it from his hands while the two men turned around to let her dress.*****"Well, you were phenomenal last night," Ryder exclaimed as he patt
The winds howled viciously while dark grey clouds covered the entire sky. Emmaline frowned as this was something completely out of the blue considering the weather forecast stated that it would be a clear sky on the full moon night. She curled her fingers around the iron railing and closed her eyes as the wild winds caressed her face and soon disappeared into her messy mane only to make them dance along with them. A smile crept on her face; she angled her face to the sky when a drop of pure water fell on her lips.Emmaline quickly pulled her tongue to savor the drop of the first rain that hit the valley but soon the pitter-patter started. She embraced it with open arms and rejoiced the moment.The girl was frazzled with all the mysterious and new revelations and demanded a break.The most depressing thing is when you have no one by your side to share your problems. Same was with Emmaline. She gets the information from Zion and needs to hide it from Damien. Other than that, she has no
"WHAT??"Emmaline yelled; she didn't expect that."But didn't you say he was a gentleman then why?""Because he loved her. What's wrong with that?" Ryder defended him turning Emmaline stunned."You're favoring him? How could you?""Wait, Ryder. Let me tell her the whole truth." Zion immediately chided Ryder who looked away in annoyance.Zion then turned to Emmaline and grabbed her shoulders."Yes, it was wrong and just like you, your mother opposed it too. She tried everything to escape but all her efforts were ruined by Blade. He never hurt her nor ever forced her into anything. In fact, he took great care of her, making sure that her every demand was fulfilled. Even Seraphina was surprised by the royal treatment she got in his mansion when she was inferior to him. But Blade made sure that no one offends her, he left no stone unturned to win her heart but didn't let her leave him too."His words struck her hard. Emmaline noticed the similarity in her and her mother's life. Both of th
Emmaline stood on the balcony gazing at the eerily quiet packhouse which till morning was filled with hustle and bustle. Tonight, the dangerous gigantic beasts would lurk in the dark, running in the woods, talking to the wind while trampling the dry leaves and twigs with their heavy paws. Their massive forms would be tearing the wind as they would prance in the woods. Emmaline saw how after sunset, the females collected their cubs after completing their chores and packed themselves in houses to clear the way of the hungry wolves in heat who would be searching for their mates and claiming them. Emmaline thanked her stars today as she managed to stay outside the mansion the whole day and did a thorough analysis of the Northern Valley. The whole day she kept noting down the behavior of the denizens. She saw how the she-wolves were eyeing their mates with coy smiles which they returned with a smirk. That came as a shock to her because they were openly seducing each other and no one dare
Emmaline Finally, the night arrived. A night that would unveil all my secrets, the day my life will take a huge and complete turn and the day I will gain my real powers. Tonight was the Full Moon, a day which I have been waiting anxiously for so long. I was in the garden, barefoot waiting for Zion while the whole world was still asleep. It was five in the morning, the time when Damien is in a deep sleep. I was in complete consciousness when he fed me the medicine by his mouth, that was super gross by the way but hey, I had to drink to get healed. That bloody Xander, for sure I will give him a painful death but that awaits the accomplishment of my agenda. Zion was though against my idea, I still put the final seal on it. Because that’s my only option. "You're punctual." My lips curved up hearing that mocking tone that obviously belonged to Zion. "Yeah, so will you tell me the purpose of this secret meeting?" He snorted and strolled towards me while his hands were nestled in the
