Chapter 7: "Who are you?"

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-04 09:57:48

Emery’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

    The green eyed man stares at me and under his gaze it’s like every bit of defense I have crumbles. It gradually begins to wear off and the more he stares at me, the more some strange sort of pressure begins to mount in my head.I remember the way the sight of him sent a chill down my spine last night. I passed out at his feet after running into the forest.He knows i was about to be killed.He killed the person who was sent to kill me…. but to be honest, the person who’s trying to kill me isn't dead yet. Nadia is still Nikolai’s wife, and i doubt because she failed once she won’t try it again if she has the chance. Me going back gives her that chance so he can never know who i am.”Do I need to ask my question again or should I throw you into the dungeons we have beneath this building?” An edge of impatience enters his voice and a shudder of fear runs through me, but I hold my ground. I swallow through my fear and respond simply, “I’m nobody.”The statement rings true enough in my he

    Two weeks later.~The Night pack. Nikolai’s pov.~The sun stretches itself across the sky, moving lazily as rays of heat rain down on the back of my neck.I ignore the heat.I ignore the sight of the maids stopping to bow as I walk by, and the guards stationed at the doors to the packhouse as they stand a little straighter. Everyone knows my temper has been on a short leash these days.No one wants to see what happens if I let go of that leash.”Alpha.”A small squeaky voice, yet old and weathered. I look to the side to see one of the maids trailing me while I make my way in. Her head is continuously bowed even as she speaks, “I don’t mean to take much of your time Alpha, but my name is Margaret. I’m the head maid. Miss Emery and I used to work closely before she left.”I stop dead in my tracks and a nasty growl ripples out of me as my anger flares, “Left?!”The maid trembles as she gets down on her knees and clasps both hands together, “Forgive me, Alpha. The staff was recently ga

    My father moves from his seat and slams me against the wall.His hold is comically loose as he stares into my eyes, fury glinting in his. “I’m not going to tolerate the boy I raised speaking to me in such a manner in my own house.”I look down at him, not bothering to keep the gaze of condescension from my eyes or the fact that if he has me pinned to the wall, it’s only because I'm allowing it.In black pants, dark leather shoes, and a plain black button up shirt, he almost looks like the man I knew as my father while I grew up.Alpha Regan Night ruled his pack with an ironically iron fist. Though he’s older now, he still has the same long legs, and mean, broad chest he worked hours to get. My father cared about his physique more than he cared about his family.Like looking good somehow translated into making better decisions. His face still bears some of his former handsomeness, but unlike me, he has dull black eyes. A proper descendant of the Night pack.He growls into the space bet

    My father’s eyes are ringed with gold because of the force of his anger. Again, i push down the urge to call him a nasty name because that would show just how angry I am.He roars ”Answer me boy!”His voice carries through the whole room and a snarl slowly starts from his throat, “Do you know how much i had to try to get the Redstone pack to agree to an alliance between our packs!Do you know how much I had to promise them!”I give my father a cold gaze as I respond, “I hope it didn’t involve you selling out your loyalty to your pack and your Alpha in the process.” I turn from him and settle into my seat, “Don’t tell me you came all this way to act as Nadia’s lackey?”My father goes red in the face as he grinds out, “This is STILL my house. I can come and go as I wish.”Silence settles between us, because I stare at him, and I wonder how I coped with and survived this for the past three years.Telling him this house is not his is one of the things my father knows I hate. He’s my dad

    I can’t contain my anger as I march down the stairs.Max’s silence as he walks ahead makes me lose more of the hold I barely have on myself so before I wreak havoc on the walls of this hospital I grind out, “You have three minutes, Max.”Max leads me into an office and hands me a file as he says, “Emery was here two weeks ago.”The feeling of anger rushing through me halts and I look at Max. He nods, gesturing to the file he handed me, “You can check in there.She came here the night you went to pick your new Luna from the borders.”I hear some tinge of derision in Max’s tone when he says your new Luna, but I ignore it because the information he’s given me is a bit more precious.She was here the night I went to pick Nadia. The same Night she asked me to let her go.Emery’s exact words flow through my mind as the scene flashes past before me.(Flashback Pg 18)~The room smells like sex and sweat.I thrust into the tight, wet, heat of her, wishing to pound away all my worries, all my

    Emery’s pov.A sudden shudder runs down my back.I turn around to see if I'm being watched, but no one is there. That’s strange.The feeling I had just now is one I get when I'm either being watched or my body is sensing some kind of danger I'm not, but there’s nothing. I’m alone in the room.The same room I have stayed in for the past two weeks now.Turning back to the mirror and releasing the short sigh locked up in my chest, I cast away the feeling and focus on what’s ahead instead. Looking at my reflection….. I almost can’t recognize myself anymore.These past two weeks, I've learned several important things. The biggest among them is the name of the pack I'm in, and what kind of pack this is.I was saved by the Raiden Tempest of the Tempest Pack, and their way of life is quite,...My door slams open and I jump at the loud sound. One of the pack guards stands in the doorway, a cross look on his face and a frown etched onto his brow, “You said you would be ready ten minutes ago.”I

    ”So…. where did you say you were from again?”I grunt as I raise the sickle in my hand and bring it down on the branch.My throat is burning and sweat is running down my neck. Heath is busy talking to Sky, asking where she’s from like they’re not from the same pack. Where else could she be from?”We grew up in the same pack, Heath.”A single word responds leaves the caverns of his mouth, “Oh.”I shake my head, yanking the small sickle out and bracing myself for another attempt at cutting this branch. To be young and in love is such an awkward thing.I was never lovestruck while in my teens.But of course that was thanks to my father’s insistence on keeping me away from boys. I had a very protective dad.The memory of him makes a rush of sadness go through me even as a soft smile spreads on my lips. I’m sad my parents were taken away from me so soon.Me and Raven.Raven used to be their spoiled pet. She was their copy, and mum would go on and on about how they look adorable together in

    As the rest of the harvesting goes on I formulate a plan in my mind.It’s more like I try to formulate a plan but the more I think of it, the more I hit roadblocks, because what exactly can a pregnant twenty-one-year-old female do to a Rogue group of wolves that have wiped out entire packs?From my conversation with Heath and Sky, I know that one of the most obvious ways to get my revenge would be to get the help of a large pack.Like the Night pack, or the Redstone pack.Nikolai’s pack would be able to take care of this problem, and maybe if i had gotten this revelation a month ago then i might have begged him- bribed him, into doing something…. but now there’s nothing i can do. I can’t receive any help from Nikolai.I doubt he’ll give it to me, or that Nadia will let him give it to me.The Redstone pack is known for their pride and if I was to approach them with this issue, they’d laugh in my face and disgrace me publicly. All the other packs now aspire to be as aloof as the Redstone

    “Konstantin and Irene were to each other, one half of the same moon, each half shining brighter than the other.Their love was forbidden because no one knew where Konstantin was from and no one knew his origins, but Irene was a princess of Tempest.She was born of storm and wind.She had power, more than anyone in her time did.”Mor is clearly rushing over the tale and because of that I can tell that Irene wasn’t just any other princess with power. No, her tale was something special in the Tempest pack.Why Raiden said he didn’t know who she was, I don't know.“Did she die?”Mor nods, “Tragically too. But our pack legends say she shed her power into our pack, into every corner of the land and its people, and she became a protecting spirit. The ghost princess of the Tempest pack.”Silence comes afterwards and it takes me some time, but I rift through all I've learned and listen to the things that are not being said.”Why would she appear then?”Mor shrugs, “What did she look like?”I f

    The moment I get back to the house I seek out Mor. When I see her she frowns, I frown too and take a deep breath before approaching her, "We have a problem on our hands.”Mor frowns, because before this she was lounging in the chair and now I'm pestering her. Still she gets up and walks over to me,. grabbing me by the hand and dragging me outside, roughly too I might add.She takes me to the back and we stop at the edge of the treeline, “Look at it.”I’m slightly blown back by the beauty of this place but I don't know if that’s what Mor wants me to see. Still I look at the treeline. The bounty of brown and green, the large trees and spindly shrubs.I take a deep breath and find my heart slowing down. It slows, and only then do I realise my heart has been beating fast.Faster than it normally should, and I didn't notice it at all.”I could hear your heart racing from the door, Emery. Whatever it is, I'm sure it’s not that bad.”For once Mor is being kind, and i do my best not to smile

    In a few more minutes we’re all settled in. There isn’t that much furniture in the house but there’s enough for people to sit on without knocking knees with each other.Mor has already made dibs on one of the rooms upstairs and Raiden has informed me that I will be having the other one. The boys will rough it out downstairs.It’s a bit late into the day by the time we’re truly settled, but we don’t have that much time here to spend it resting anyways.Raiden and I go out, taking Bryce and Cetus with us. Just a father and mother, and their two teenage sons.We want to see if there’s nothing too peculiar about werewolves, aka, will the humans spot us from a mile away?We get a few stares here and there, mostly from strangers we simply pass by the side of the road.Bryce and his cousin already know the drill. Do not draw attention to yourself. Do not growl. Do not snarl. No flashing eyes. Nothing that marks us as werewolves.Raiden told them this himself, but I think he forgot another

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 65: Old houses.

    A week ago when Raiden came to me with news of the exams Bryce and Cetus would be writing, we went over the college requirements together.The first obvious issue was of course the fact that they’re going to human schools.It’s in a city that’s just at the edge of the werewolf borders, but it’s also one of those cities where there’s no doubt that there has been some leakage over the decades.A human city this close to the werewolf borders will have people occasionally slipping through from both ends. Some come in legally, after going through rigorous vetting and checking at the borders, but others slip in and out like little phantoms in the night. We're not going to be slipping through, but we also aren't going to be going through the normal ways.Mor throws a glare my way as her way of asking, "Are you ready for this?"I can almost hear the thought leaping from her head, but she's not saying it. I don't think she wants me to act as Raiden's wife, but she's doing her best to get cool

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 64: Concerning behavior.

    Raiden doesn't ask me any more questions after that and I'm able to go through the rest of my breakfast in peace.It’s not like he disturbs me. It’s just that up until now, I still don’t know why he left the packhouse that afternoon.The day Max was here they did speak, but they didn’t tell me what they spoke of. Raiden admitted he and Max had a conversation. But if it was concerning me or the pack, i don’t know.He’s refused to tell me why he went off all alone that day, or what was in the letter he read from Amanda.Speaking of Amanda, I turn to Mor and dare asking, “How’s the boy? Julius.”About a week ago, Raiden left the pack and came back with a young boy. About seven or eight. He said the boy was Amanda’s brother, Julius. The pack received him in with open arms and he's been with Julia ever since.She’s been taking care of him, and sometimes I've been changed to see both of them. I think I can say Amanda was particularly drawn to Julia because she reminded her of her brother. N

    ”Shouldn’t you be outside, celebrating with your friends too?”Bryce settles in the seat beside me with his breakfast in hand and shrugs, “I already did. Last night.We’ve said our goodbyes, plus everyone celebrating right now is celebrating Cetus. His whole band of soon to be warrior friends will probably try to make anyone else feel bad if they were to celebrate and I don't want to make any noise.”“But you should.”Bryce looks at me and I nod, because while I understand why he doesn't want to overshadow his cousin’s happiness, he has to realise he has a claim to happiness as much as anyone else.He’s grown into a beautiful young man in the past month I've been here. He was striking because of his scar the first time I saw him. But it’s like everything about his features have settled into serenity now.He doesn't look odd. Even the scar looks like something he can’t do without now. His body might have changed but his character didn’t change much.He’s still the weird kid obsessed wi

    ~Two weeks later.~“Emery!Emery where are you?!”Mor’s voice grates against my ears but I remain silent. I’m putting the final touches on my look and I need total concentration for that.If I'm going to pull this off, then I need to be unrecognizable. I need to make sure no one who knew me before would know me now.I stare in the mirror and let the moment drag forever. The woman that stares back at me is different from the one that came here.To begin with, her hair is no longer the raven black it had always been. Now it’s a dark gemstone red. It’s not ruby red because I promised Mor I would kill her in her sleep if she made my hair ruby red out of spite.I was fully prepared to cut it if she did me like that.But to her credit, she didn’t. She gave me a red bordering on such black that if I stand in a shadow, my hair looks black, but when I step into the light, the red bleeds through..I’ve put on a bit of weight because the pregnancy is coming along quickly, but not enough that I c

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 62: My decision and it's final.

    I turn my head to the side to look at Max and he’s looking at me too. His eyes hold a firmness that tells me he’s serious about what he’s saying, but I anticipated this.While I was going through the mechanical motions of taking care of the wounded, I thought about this. About what I would say if Max decided he wanted to try and convince me to come back to the pack.He is Nikolai’s Beta after all. No pack’s Alpha has ever had their mate live in another pack. I asked myself what I would do if he tried to convince me to come back, just for the sake of the pack and the man he serves.”What would I do if I went back to the pack?”Max takes a deep breath and proves me right. He’s also been thinking about how he’ll convince me to come back to the pack with him.He has a list neatly set out. A picture in his head. A perfectly male picture in his perfectly male head.I listen as he tells me about the house a little ways into the woods at the edge of the pack. A quaint three bedroom house with

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 61: Come back with us.

    Bernard leaves me on my own for the rest of the day and I try not to let myself think too much concerning what he said.I’ve long ago stopped trying to make myself feel like I might be special in some way. I had enough time in Nikolai’s pack to think and wonder about myself.The long hours spent waiting for Nikolai to come back from work, well when i wasn’t thinking of him, and wetting my panties at the thought of him, i thought of myself, and how i didn’t have a wolf.How i probably won’t ever have a wolf, because no matter how much my parents tried i couldn’t shift.Everyone knows a werewolf that can’t shift into their wolf form is no better than a human. There’s nothing they can do to help the pack. They’re not special in any way. A wolfless wolf isn’t a werewolf. A wolfless wolf is useless.And I tried to make myself feel like there was something else to me than what meets the eye. I tried to find it, but there was nothing there.I had no gifts to speak of. No special ability. No
