"Please""No""Oh, come on, just this one""I said no."Emma rebuffed Stacy and swatted her hand that was holding the eyeliner. Stacy looked at her with a pout but Emma just rolled her eyes and kept arranging her stuff.As decided Emma had to skip college today and came to Knight Corporation for her interview. Though she put up a fight with Claire yesterday, after thinking about the whole thing all night, she concluded that Claire was innocent. She was only doing her job and Emma unnecessarily vented her anger on her. She was too guilty and ashamed of her behavior so she mentally made a note to apologize to Claire the next day. Talking about the interview, Emma was least excited cause at the end of the day, she would be simply backing off. Claire though advised her to explain her troubles to the CEO but Emma had made up her mind. She would straightway decline, that’s it.For her interview, Emma donned a plain pink shirt with black pants and nude stilettos. She tied her silver hair i
Thirty minutes passed in a blur. Emma was slowly losing her patience as Damien was purposely exceeding the time limit decided for her interview. He was asking her unnecessary and repetitive questions. And Emma had no choice but to answer him.Like right now, he asked her to give a brief introduction about her current work, again.Emma inhaled sharply before speaking, "As I told you, Sir, I analyze the details of the company’s projects and am also in charge of cyber security which includes securing the company's site to protect it from any malware." She kept explaining to him but Damien was least interested in that information. His sole focus was on her plush lips that were moving nonstop tempting him to suck them. Damien took a deep breath and skimmed his eyes all over her face. Her coruscating blue hues and the pink glint on her cheeks had him enchanted. Her balmy scent flowing in the room delighted him as well as Scar who was jumping in his head making him grin."Sir?"Her voice bro
A blood-curdling growl reverberated through the dark woods that could wilt the beautiful blossoms of the woods. The humongous black creature veered to his left and disappeared into the wild bushes. Trudging through them, he took a big puff of fresh air that swatted his face but still, it wasn’t strong enough to extinguish the fire in his heart. His thick, shiny brown fur sparkled in the moonlight like embers.The beast’s large ears perked up by the rustling of leaves. His eyes darkened in rage when he stared at the lavish vegetation of the forest. A sick thought to ravage them crossed his mind. His golden eyes teeming with raw madness glared at them as if he could burn them alive. The cynical monster pounced on one of them and started pushing it with his massive height. The poor tree could no longer stand in front of his hulk and succumbed to death. And eventually, that tree joined a pile as the beast soon started demolishing the greenery of the forest.He was unstoppable, unrelenting
Emma's P.O.V.Dawdling in my room, I was thinking about all the contingencies after leaving my only source of survival. Though in fury, I gave my resignation letter to Boss, the point is how will I be able to pay the money for infringing the contract?The first thing I did after returning home from the office was to check the sunset clause. My soul left my body after checking the amount that I have to pay back if I resign before the contract ends. It was nearly half of my wealth that I had stashed for years."What should I do Reina? I can't work for that monster who tried to tarnish my dignity. You know it wouldn't have taken me a second to kill him but then I would have become an overnight sensation. A seventeen-year-old girl murdered the richest man of New York. And no one would believe me if I tell them the truth. God, what should I do?"I was so unnerved at the moment that my hair turned damp from perspiration. Suddenly an idea to check my treasure popped into my idea. Let's see h
Damien's P.O.V.Fastening the buttons of my suit, I grabbed my favorite Rose gold Patek Philippe watch from the vanity and tied it around my right wrist.Today will be fun.The girl of my dreams was my enemy. Such an irony. No wonder I felt a strong pull towards you Emmaline. Sadly, that pull wasn't of love but hatred.A scoff escaped my lips. I was thinking of enshrining my future with my enemy. Moon Goddess forbade me.But the game has become more interesting now. My Princess, lastly, I got you. That's why you were able to read my mind that day, you could feel my eyes on you. My wolfy, you can fool the entire world but not a werewolf itself. Our fate crossed paths and left you at my doorstep, and now I can't wait to crush you between my fingers.It would be interesting to see how you’ll be able to hide this fact from me? I want to see your reaction when I'll expose you in front of everyone.But not now. Today my Princess had planned on paying the money for breaching the contract. Yo
Emmaline stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Damien calling her from behind.'What does he want now?'Squeezing her eyes shut, she exhaled a deep breath to get a grip of herself. Putting up a cold masque, she slowly turned around only to confront the same pair of steel eyes that had divested her peace since yesterday.Damien’s heart skipped a beat when looked into her blue eyes that were staring at him with confusion. He quickly looked away precluding himself from drowning in them.Harrumphing, he handed her the envelope and spoke, "Here, take this."Emmaline frowned, "But Sir-""Yeah, I know. You don't want to work here but I don't want to lose an asset of my company." He replied in an earnest tone taking her off guard.Raking his fingers through his jet-black hair, Damien took a deep breath before speaking, "Look, I know I crossed my line. I am sorry Emma but the truth is that it was a test."Emmaline was still confused, "A test? For what?"He let out a sigh, "Yeah I know that
"Excellent, Ms. Dawson. You are the perfect candidate for this job. I think we should now discuss your salary."Mr. Taylor, CEO of Brook Corporation spoke to Emmaline who passed him a soft smile and nodded.Finally, the burden was lifted off her shoulders. She bagged the job and was unencumbered by Damien Knight and his sinister schemes. Taylor was highly impressed by her qualifications and flair. Without much delay, he rejected the other candidates who were in the queue and selected Emmaline as she upstaged them.Emmaline knew the results beforehand. She had worked in such a prestigious company, Knight Corporation before, whose name itself is enough to put golden feathers in one's cap. She knew there was no reason for her rejection. It wasn't her overconfidence but rather her belief in herself and her education.Emmaline then looked at Taylor and spoke, "Yes Sir, I would like to-"The ringing of the telephone interrupted her. Excusing himself, Taylor picked up the receiver and answer
"Enjoyed your jaunt to New York or there are still some places left?"Damien rasped and looked at Emmaline who was silently fuming. His mordant tone was enough to char her. She curled her fingers in a tight fist, her nails carved crescent-shaped blood moons on her palms.‘The cheek of this man.’‘He isn’t even afraid of getting caught rather is shamelessly admitting that it was all his deeds.’Incensed, Emmaline jumped to her feet and pushed Damien back, “Making fun of someone’s plight? Is this the propriety of such a high-profile man like you?” She spoke in an acrimonious tone but Damien continued smirking. He was enjoying her fuming like an inferno.“Well, my propriety advised me to help a poor teen who has been left out in the cold because she burnt her bridges by squandering all her money, kicked her esteemed job, and is now begging on the streets to earn a few bucks.”His words added insult to her injury. Emmaline swatted her hands that were holding the umbrella and spat, “So, I
"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
