"What the hell, gingerhead?" Laura said, barging into her bedroom without any notice.Emily hid herself under the blanket, not wanting to get up or even move on the bed.Her wolf was in utter despair, and so was she.It had been two weeks since the last time she met Argus. True to his words, Lucian did not allow his Lycan beast to take over his physical body again. He disapproved of her meeting her mate. He was that ruthless toward her.Since then, Emily has felt as if her world is slowly collapsing. It could be because the emotions of her wolf were overpowering her.She never wanted to talk to anyone and didn’t bother to go out of her room except whenever she felt her stomach aching due to starvation. Lucian did not care about her either. He never talked to her. He acted so cold and like a ghost in Emily’s life, which angered her more.Emily felt the side of the bed move as Laura sat on it. "Hey, I didn’t request from the Alpha for you to have a one-week break from your class with th
Emily anticipated experiencing a jarring and agonizing blow when she and the little girl fell from the tree, prompting her to shut her eyes and hold the child tightly. However, to her surprise, a set of arms caught them both, making a gasp escaped her. When she finally opened her eyes, her heart was still thumping hard in her chest. The first thing that came into view were the familiar pair of wayfarer blue eyes, gazing down at her a mix of concern and annoyance."What the hell were you doing?" Lucian's words were, as usual, like daggers. Carefully, he set them down and knelt on the ground to check on the little girl, who was still crying out of fear. To Emily's surprise, Lucian wiped away the little girl's tears and examined her body, making sure she didn't sustain any injuries from the fall. "Are you okay?" he asked the girl.The little girl sobbed; her tiny lips trembled before she nodded. "Y-Yes, Alpha."Emily couldn't believe how Lucian's expression softened when he looked at th
As the Jeep came to a stop in front of the White House, the sun had already set. Emily rubbed her eyes and looked over at Laura. She felt completely drained after spending hours playing with the Omega kids, but the short nap had done wonders for her to somehow recover from that."What are we doing here?" she asked Laura in confusion as she scratched her eyes.Before taking a nap, Laura had informed Emily that they would head straight to her home as her maid, Lisa, was cooking some must-try food. Emily wasn't really in the mood to have dinner with Lucian at home, so she agreed to Laura's invitation."I have to hand these papers over to Tyler," Laura said as she gathered the papers from the back seat. "Our Beta needs to submit this to the pack hospital for their medical mission in the Omegas’ sanctuary. I’ll be back in a minute or two.""Alright, I’ll just wait for you here.""You don’t want to go to Lucian’s office to see him?" Laura asked teasingly and wiggled her eyebrows.Emily shoo
Without another word, Jacob started to drag her away. Emily’s eyes widened in fear and she continued to struggle from his grasp, still trying to scream despite his hand gripping her mouth. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she punched him in the arms and chest. But no, it wasn’t enough to defend herself from the devil of her past.She sought help from her wolf, pleaded with it to help her, and let her borrow its strength so she could save her life. Her wolf was trembling in fear within her, but then still nodded at her."Argh!" she screamed when she felt the sudden movements of her bones, as if those were trying to extend and reshape."What the fuck is going on with you?" Jacob stopped and looked at her in confusion.Emily began to run out of breath, her eyes turning a misty green ringed with silver. The pain was excruciating, but she knew she had to endure it. Her body slowly turned from being a human to a silver-white wolf. She was tired enough to navigate, so her wolf took cover an
The cold, sweet night engulfed Emily’s whole being. Her brows slowly knotted as she regained consciousness. She could feel the coldness kissing her bare and still in pain back, but at the same time feel the warmth brought by something wrapped around her waist.Her eyes slowly opened, blinked, and adjusted their visions until her gaze fell to a broad, chiseled chest. She realized there was a man so close to her, laying on the bed beside her without any shirt on and hugging her to keep her warm.She didn’t have to question who it was. The familiar scent of the man who awakened the wolf within her already answered her confusion. Her eyes carefully looked up at him.‘What is he doing here?’ she thought.Emily could not help but feel her heart racing faster than usual. Her mouth gaped at the sight of Lucian sleeping peacefully; his face was so close to her that she feasted on its every well-made feature.She was convinced that he didn’t look like an angel even up close; he was far from bei
The gentle hum of the water droplets was like music to her ears, soothing her soul and lulling her into a sense of calm. Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting the sound of the shower fill her senses and transport her to a place of serenity.Behind her was Lucian, who joined her in the shower. She could feel his gaze on her, but the man did not say anything and only helped her wash up the aftermath of what they’d done a while ago."You are forgiven," Emily uttered, feeling the heat on both of her cheeks.Lucian gently rubbed the shower gel on her back. Each stroke made her breathing harder, and so she had to calm her freaking heart all over again."Am I now?"She nodded. "Yes. You did what I asked you to do.""Hmm…" Lucian sounded a little amused or something. "So sex can wipe your anger away?"‘I guess so,’ she thought, but she had no strength to voice it out. Instead, she answered, "It was a spur of the moment thought. That’s what I wanted, and you wanted it too."Emi
Two days later,Laura burst into her bedroom with a loud shriek of excitement. Emily looked at her while standing in front of the window, curious to see what had caused such a shriek."What’s happening?" Emily asked as they both sat down on the couch.Laura clutched Emily's hand tightly, barely containing her excitement."There’s good news!" she exclaimed."Good news?" Emily repeated, her curiosity piqued."Yes, good news!" Laura confirmed, wiggling her eyebrows in anticipation. "Lucian has finally sent Scarlett away!""He did what?" Emily's eyes widened in shock. She was certain she had heard Laura correctly, but she still couldn't quite believe it.Lucian had actually sent Scarlett away?"Scarlett left the pack this morning!" Laura exclaimed, practically bouncing up and down with excitement. "We no longer have to deal with her anymore. She's been thrown away! Lucian made it official right away, so that woman will no longer be our problem. Isn't it amazing?""He really did that?" Emi
Lucian approached Emily's bed slowly, not making any noise at all, as his wife was sleeping peacefully. He looked at her and felt Argus' possessive growl, as if the beast inside him didn't like the idea of Lucian staring at his own Luna."You're acting weird," Argus said irritably.Still gazing at the little wolf on the bed, Lucian chose to ignore the jealous beast and leaned down to hold the blanket, then gently tucked Emily in. She moaned, and her forehead creased, but then seconds later, she was back to her calm breathing again.He had no idea why, but he felt something pulling him to caress her hair. And so he did, before he shut his eyes and forced himself to stand up properly, taking one more glance at her before finally leaving her bedroom."Caught you peeking again," Laura said, holding a cup of tea and grinning from ear to ear. His twin sister was leaning her back against the marble railings of the stairs and eyeing him maliciously."I'm glad you're early," he stated, not giv
Six months later, Life was like a never-ending rollercoaster of surprises. Some days, it could be incredibly wonderful, while on other occasions, it felt like a series of unfortunate events. There were also those moments when it was filled with tension and fear. But its beauty remains for as long as you believe you can get through all this series of unexpected emotions. That’s what Emily had learned in the lesson life had given her. From being a slave to a pack she thought her only family to becoming the Luna of the pack, she thought were monsters but turned out to be the best family she could ever have. While there were painful situations that happened as she went along in this life, Emily would admit that these phases she had to go through helped her to become the best she-wolf she could ever imagine. With a Lycan King by her side and a kind daughter who values helping others using the gift she received from the Moon Goddess, and now that they were expecting a new family member
Five hours later, Emily was already carrying Nia in her arms. They finally arrived in the Lycan Blood Pack territory and her daughter shivered at the sight of the land before them. “Mommy, I don’t like this place,” Nia said, trembling. “Where’s Daddy? Is he here?”Emily kissed Nia’s cheek trying to console her. “Daddy’s here. She needs you, Nia.” She took one of her tiny hands and kissed its knuckles. “Remember that day you showed me how you are able to bring the dead bird back to life?” Nia nodded her head, focusing on what Emily, her mother, had to say. Emily swallowed hard and carefully glanced at Nia. “Can you do the same thing to your Daddy…? B-Bring him back to life?” Her little girl’s eyes began to water. Nia was smart enough to realize what Emily meant by that. Her lips curved downward, and her chin trembled. “Daddy is dead, Mommy?” Nia’s voice cracked. Unable to control her emotions, Emily cried and nodded her head. “Y-Yes… Daddy is dead.”“No, Mommy,” Nia broke into te
Emily wailed in despair, her body trembling. She felt as if Lucian's death had become her death also… she sobbed as she hugged Lucian's dead body, kissing his forehead. "No… no, please, Lucian…" she cried. "Please don't do this to me. W-We need you… We haven't done so much together…" In the middle of her grievance, Alpha Cain ran inside the basement and came to a halt as soon as he saw her crying her heart out due to Lucian's passing. "Emily…" his voice sounded shocked. Sobbing, Emily turned her head to Alpha Cain, her heart consumed by fury. "Y-You…" "We need to get out of here," Alpha Cain said as he tried to compose himself. "Lucian's dead. We have to get out of here, otherwise, the other Alphas will kill you!" Emily growled angrily. She put Lucian down and immediately attacked Alpha Cain, using her Alpha power to push him with all force, which made him fly into the wall. The wall began to crack until it broke down. She didn't stop right there as she shifted to her wolf form
No longer caring about hurting and killing werewolf warriors from the enemy's side, Emily advanced mercilessly. Having Atlas and Laura backing her up was helpful, as the two fought other Alphas who tried to block her way. It didn't take long hours before she finally could see the towering mansion of the Silver Crest, which she guessed was where Scarlett was hiding. Emily sniffed in the air, smelling the familiar disgusting scent of her nemesis, Scarlett. The smell itself made all her emotions surge inside her. Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked up at the mansion. A growl escaped her throat before she made her way to the mansion's entrance. Without hesitation, she pushed the double doors open and scanned the first floor. It was dark, cold, and empty. "I believe you were looking for me," said the familiar voice that ignited her fury. "Long time no see." Emily looked up and found Scarlett staring down at her from the second floor, leaning against the railings while eating an apple.
Emily was stunned by the sight of the colossal convoy of trucks that stood in formation outside the arena. Atlas Kane motioned for her to inspect the trucks, and she complied without hesitation. She’d never seen so many weapons in her entire life. There were guns and rifles brimming with lethal silver bullets, and there were barrels containing syringes that had ominous wolfsbane liquid. She then turned her gaze towards the formidable gathering of hundreds of warriors behind the array of trucks, standing steadfastly and waiting for instructions from their Alpha. She spun to face Atlas Kane in awe. Emily never knew her new boss from the human town would be this helpful in times of a great war. “Well, I hope I brought enough.” Atlas Kane shrugged, sounding very arrogant as usual, only by now, Emily didn’t feel irritated with how he talked. She was, in fact, thankful as the weapons and warriors would absolutely help them in the counterattack. She looked at Tyler and Laura, whose eyes
Emily looked up at the night sky and took a sigh. She was sitting on the stairs of the arena's double doors for almost an hour, guarding the entire place from possible attacks from their enemies. Her mind was filled with worry. The pack was in horrible shape; the smoke and fires not far away from her indicated that the situation could be worsened more, and she had no idea to what extent this war would go further. She stared up blankly at the silver moon in the sky, hoping it would give her much strength to carry on with helping the remaining pack members and save Lucian. Wherever Nia's father was at the moment, may the Moon Goddess help him survive no matter what; he needed to stay alive for them. 'Scarlett is the root cause of all this mess. She has to pay for everything that she ruined, Em,' said Cassia through the mind link, seething with anger as the wolf snarled with its eyes glowing. 'If something happens to Nia's father, I swear I won't let it slide.'"We won't let it slide,"
Emily was enraged. Her eyes were bloodshot, and all she thought about was killing the alpha who she was seated on when Laura screamed to stop her. "Emily, no! We still need him to track Lucian!" said Laura. Her chest went up and down, her hand stopped in the air, and deep within, she wanted to go on. But hearing Laura's words, her mind was again filled with chaos. Before Alpha Ray could land a punch on her, she hit him on the neck as hard as she could, targeting his nerves to immobilize him. Three Lycan warriors came to her when she stood up. "Luna!" They all bowed their heads as a form of respect. "Take him. Please do everything you can so he won't escape. We still need him," she ordered. The Lycan warriors were quick to follow Emily's command. Her gaze followed them as they left, and then she glanced in Laura's direction. Her face immediately softened as she looked at her sister-in-law, and in one swift move, she ran towards her and embraced her. "Emily, you're back," Lau
Panic increased in Emily's chest, her mind utterly haywire. Her heart pounded so loud that she couldn’t breathe. After learning the bad news from Alpha Atlas Kane, she sprinted out of his office, not minding these human employees who might have seen her use her heightened speed. It only took a minute for her to be able to go home, and she instantly went to Lia, who was in the living room together with the kids, Elle and Nia. "Mommy, did you teleport?" Nia asked out of curiosity and rubbed her eyes before looking at Emily again. "Mommy, you teleported!" "No, Nia. Your Mom sprinted as fast as the wind," Elle corrected. "How did she do that?" "Emily, what happened?" Lia rose from her seat and went to Emily. Her whole body shook as if she was still trying to process the news she heard from Alpha Atlas. She looked at Lia with utmost fear and worry, and all she did was hold Lia's arm when she felt her knees weakened due to her welled-up emotions. She gasped for air as the negativ
"I suggest you relax, Em," Lia suggested with a smile. They were in the living room, watching the television, but Emily could not pay attention. She kept looking at her phone, waiting for Lucian's text message or call. It had been a week since he left for some pack affairs, and Emily hadn't heard from him since then. He sent him a few text messages, but those even went on read at all. "It's just weird for him to not check his phone for that long," Emily reasoned. "Do you think there's a problem in the pack right now? I can't help but worry.""It's impossible. Your husband's pack is the strongest, and he and Tyler can surely handle problems in the pack," Lia assured her, passing the popcorn on her. Emily smiled a bit, but the worry remained in her chest, or maybe she just really missed him. She didn't know. The feelings she had for Lucian went deeper and stronger, and her mind seemed only to know nothing but scream Lucian's name. It was cringed, but that's how she described it. "Le
