“You’re nothing without me, Emery.” “You’re just a stupid orphan with a silly life, and you’ll always be caught in the crossfire. Wolfless. Unwanted. You're a body to satisfy me when I need it.” ~~~~~~~~~~ Emery has always known herself as the reject. Despite being the Alpha King’s mate she has to watch him marry someone else because unlike her, she has a wolf. His bride is the daughter of a famous Alpha and a prosperous pack. Unlike her, she won’t bring disgrace to him by being his Luna. The reality of the truth Emery would have ignored stares her right in the face and as she’s to be shipped into exile, Nikolai’s new bride sends for her life. Left with no other option Emery flees into the woods and passes out at the feet of a mysterious stranger. But when she wakes she realizes she’s just been thrust into the midst of something more dangerous than she could ever imagine. And with an even more dangerous secret of her own too. She’s pregnant with Nikolai’s child, so fleeing her now rejected mate isn’t all she has to do. Will Emery break like she’s always been told she will? And will Nikolai, relentless in his want for Emery, finally see that the woman he wants will not be at his side as a slave, but as his equal, no matter the consequence?
View MoreEmery’s pov.I’m having a nightmare.The snake in front of me hisses and curls, deadly fangs flashing as it slithers closer. A paralyzing type of fear fills my heart and I remind myself that this is a nightmare, this is just my mind making something up, yet something in that snake’s eyes tells me if it bites me it’ll be as real as it can get.”Run Emery.”My mum always said even for werewolves, it was dangerous to let animals bite you or speak to you in dreams.The snake slithers closer to me and I see it has eyes a molten gold like the sun. Eyes that glimmer wickedly as it hisses at me fiercely again, the voice from before coming along with that deep hiss, “I said RUN!”My body responds with a jerk but it’s too late. The arrow is already coming.I hear it flying fast towards me, closing the distance as an image flashes before my eyes. It’s not just one arrow, it’s a rain of them. A rain of arrows falling from the sky like hail.The snake lunges at the same time the arrow closes in on
Soft music and idle chatter float through the air. People talk, eat, drink - the Redstone pack came out in style to the marriage of their Alpha’s daughter.I resist the urge to frown. Emery won’t ruin this for me. I won’t be caught looking displeased at my own wedding.Nadia floats through the crowd, a smile on her face, and in her dress she looks little more than a fashion shop—jewelry glints at her throat, arm, and ears. A tiara inlaid with rubies and precious gemstones sits pretty on her head, and when she comes to me she latches onto my side, an indulgent look on her face.Nadia is beautiful, but anyone who looks at her right now would know she’s drunk on the praise of those around her. She dressed to impress and she would be displeased if she didn't.Emery wouldn't have cared if she got any compliments…. Just mine would have been enough.Irritation crawls up my spine when I hear Nadia’s soft rasp beside my ear, “You disappeared on me for a moment there. I asked some of my me
He reaches out as i dash away. I feel his hand graze strands of my hair.Fear shudders through me as I scramble onto the bed but it doesn’t take a minute for him to get onto me. A large hand grabs my ankle and with male strength it yanks back. I scream.The smell of blood wafts into my nose.My blood. He gets on top of me, slapping my hands to the side and pinning them above my head. With his other hand he delivers a sharp slap to the side of my face and presses the knife to the side of my cheek. The coldness of the blade seeps into my skin.I wriggle against him, eyes stinging from tears and my heart pounding. I beg, “Please, please let me go.”Nikolai never let me watch his warriors train but my parents used to let me watch ours. The assassin chuckles and smirks at me, “You are one stupid bitch.”The moment i see his blood hungry gaze relax I yank hard. I free one of my hands and I hit his nose as hard as I can. As the sharp soft crack rings out he releases a grunt of pain, I hit
The pack doctor changes the bandages on my legs and looks up, smiling at the bubble of activity in the packhouse. The grandest wedding the pack has seen in the last ten years will be happening tonight, but I won't be attending because my verdict has been served.My things have been neatly packed, ready to be moved to a cabin at the edges of the pack territory. A bitter feeling rises at the back of my throat but I push it down.It’s better for me to leave. It’s the only way this is going to work.Tonight, they become husband and wife. I have to move out of the pack and head to my new life.The pack gradually empties as everyone goes to the wedding ceremony. Those who haven’t been invited to be guests have to be there to work. The packhouse has never been this empty and fatigue pulls me into a deep sleep.The evening sun is peeking through the blinds when I feel the presence of someone beside me. I feel his hot body on top of me.My eyes snap open in alarm but my body already knows t
I spend the rest of the morning making sure every member of the pack can get something to eat. I keep feeling the urge to vomit and as a new wave of nausea suddenly overcomes me I go upstairs to get one of the pills I keep in my bedside drawer. Instead, a ruby red lace pantie stares me back in the face, right at the door of our room.Husky laughter, soft and erotic greets my ears, “Stop with the teasing, Nik and just fuck me.” Nikolai’s laughter runs through our mate bond like a skitter of alcohol in my bloodstream. I can almost see him smiling against her lips as he responds, “I have a meeting not long from now so i can’t, but that doesn’t mean one of us can’t get off.”Nadia’s soft moans come next and a heavy wave of bile rushes up my throat. It burns like acid and I rush back down the hallway, dashing down the stairs.I’m lucky to have gotten to one of the flower pots by the doors to the packhouse. I puke into it and some of the nausea retreats as I let it out but I know this is
Tears run freely down my cheeks and I try to calm down but my mind is in shambles. My sister…. I have to think of Raven.I could take her away from here and go to another hospital, but there’s no healer like David. He’s the only one who knows the full details of her medical reports. Nikolai knows all of this and yet he took him away.“Emery.”My heart jumps at the sound of a voice. A part of me hopes for it to be Nikolai’s. It prays for it to be him and I look up expecting to see him, but his voice has never been so soft.Doug’s relief ripples through the room as he exclaims, “Thank the goddess, you’re here.” Doug immediately goes over to hug Lyla. Lyla is an emergency doctor and for her to have come on such short notice… i stare at her like a paralyzed mute as tears fill my eyes again.Doug doesn’t sound worried anymore as he consoles me, “It’s okay, Emery. Lyla’s here now. Raven will be fine.” I choke out words through the haze of tears clouding my eyes, “Thank you. Thank you so
Each thrust of Nikolai’s hips sends a wave of hot pleasure right through me. I writhe, my hands clenching the sheets, back arched and my eyes rolling into the back of my head… “Right there, Niko.”For a moment, it’s like a fever dream. Nikolai’s hands are fisted on the mattress, keeping me locked in place as his heat wraps us both. His scent of sea salt and lavender surrounds us in a soft haze and though we’re both covered in a shiny sheen of sweat, because of his scent I feel clean and fresh, the woody notes of lavender taking me to a cabin and the sea salt transporting me to a beach.I feel each limb in my body begin to tingle. I’m so close. Just a bit more.A phone rings and yanks me away from my climax. Nikolai curses under his breath but the buzz of his phone is a constant vibration echoing through the room. He picks the call and though it’s not on loudspeaker I hear each word of the guard’s report.“The new Luna has arrived at the borders, Alpha Nikolai. Her envoy should be at
