Chapter 9: Stop searching for her.

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-10 22:31:27

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.

    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

    Bryce fills me in on information regarding the rogues and for a moment, I can't believe my luck. He knows everything about them.Bryce knows everything about how the rogues attack, their mode of operations, their manner and form of assault. They usually lull whatever pack they’re about to attack into a deep sleep by some strange means.”It’s either a type of gas or a spell.”I chortle at the spell part but Bryce doesn't look like he’s joking. He looks dead serious, and I don't comment about it because despite my chortle, I live in this world of werewolves. My parents had strange abilities.Father could tell the weather through some strange intuition, though I suspect he just sniffed the air for rain or not. My mum would randomly slip things into my bag before I leave for school.That snack I didn't know I needed. Or that assignment that isn’t due but which some teachers would still ask for. It’s like they just knew, but I always chalked it up to them being our parents.The healer at N

    Raiden’s words catch me off guard as much as his tone does. He sounds angry - Angrier as the seconds pass by because he has a scowl on his face and a storm brewing behind his bright green eyes. Eyes I haven't seen more than once this week, and which I've never seen angry. Until now.Green eyes that bright showing anger is a sight.”Tell me Emery, didn’t we say we wouldn't do anything about your sister without my consent?””This isn’t about my sister. It’s about my parents.”The words slip out of my mouth even though I don't want him to know any of it. I didn’t want him or anyone to know about it. ”Your parents wouldn’t want you making stupid decisions like asking about rogues.”Raiden’s tone is cold and his words are harsh. The scowl on his face becomes even more pronounced. I feel some of my anger rising and pushing through to take control but I keep it in check. My voice hardens as I respond to him, “You don’t know anything about what my parents would have wanted.”Raiden’s scowl dr

    The strange woman, Irene, doesn’t respond to any more of my questions as to who she is or why I've not heard of her in the duration of my stay here.I’ve lived in this pack for more than a month now and I haven't heard of anyone named Irene.Someone should have mentioned her. Bryce. Mort. Raiden.If they had a mind reading elder in their pack…. they could have used her on me the day i was brought here.”How are you sure they didn’t?”Her smile sends goosebumps skittering down the path of my arm but I shake my head, dispelling the fear that comes with her words and refusing to believe what she’s saying, “If Raiden already knew who I was there’s no reason he’d hide it from me.Raiden wouldn’t do that.”She holds my gaze and I hold hers, letting her see and know that I won't buy into little tricks and lies.If what she’s saying is true then it means all the time i’ve been here, i’ve been living a lie. It would mean Raiden does have another reason for keeping me here. He hasn’t given me a

    I go farther into the Tempest pack forests because I won't cry anywhere they can see me.I feel so silly that tears are even dropping from my eyes but I don't understand what’s going on in my heart right now.And maybe it was the mean words about me being the reason someone killed themselves, or the meanness itself, but it’s hurt me.It hurts me with the kind of pain that makes swallowing hard and blurs my vision with tears.Wh…. What have I done to be hated like this?I haven’t even been on bad terms with Mor lately. I’ve done all I can to be a good person to her. To believe that she’s misjudged me and I, her, but the look I saw in her eyes…. like I'm something disgusting, worthless.My child is NOT a bastard. And even if I have nothing, I'm still the daughter of my parents. They might not be here right now, but they loved me. I didn’t come from nothing.Only the goddess knows if she’d be able to stand in front of me if my parents were still alive. She’s literally the mean girl of so

    Raiden reads the letter in the privacy of his office, and I let him read it alone because the death of the person that left the letter is weighing too heavily on me for me to stand there and read it with him.I didn’t know her.I never knew her, yet she killed herself out of loyalty to this pack, and not out of betrayal. Raiden was right to look at me like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing when I was happy at her death.He’s a good Alpha. Has a good head on his shoulders and…. Thanks to Amanda we might have a fighting chance now.That’s if what’s in the letter is what I suspect it is.I head back to my room, but the room feels like the last place I want to be right now. My chest still feels cramped by more emotions than I can identify so I head back out.My mind can’t stop taking me back to the fact that her brother is in the clutches of people who used him as a tool to threaten her.He’s still with them, and I'm scared. Now more than ever. Because I realise how easy it would be

    “Miss Emery, the Alpha is here.”I take away shaky hands from the rest of the letters we got from behind the wall and take a deep breath, because I don't know how to explain how I knew they were there.I just… felt they were.“Emery.”I raise my eyes to see Raiden staring at me. I gesture to the seven letters on the floor, each one of them now opened after they had been neatly tucked away behind that wall.Raiden stares at them and it takes me a while to find my voice but i do. I push aside the fear and confusion fighting a small battle in my head and focus on what’s at hand, “We found some more letters in the room. I felt like i had to come here because something wasn’t adding up.She would never have killed herself if she had family being held hostage and used as a means to control her. Her story of being attacked by rogues checks out, she admits to it in these letters.But she also says instead of being killed, she and her family were taken to a private facility where experiments w

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 47: Secrets I

    The maids are giving me dirty looks as I make my way down the halls of the packhouse.I don’t smell, do i?I take a covert sniff of my clothes but there’s nothing out of the usual there.Why then would they be looking at me strangely?My mind mulls on that thought as I make my way down to the living quarters at the back of the packhouse building.Every pack’s packhouse is a relatively large building. It’s easily the largest building in every pack, and from the size of the Tempest pack’s packhouse, I can tell they were once a force to be reckoned with. Some of the rooms have been locked up and barred, living rooms that have no use anymore or cost too much to be maintained.The section of the packhouse i’m headed to is one Mor suggested i should be forced to live in a while ago.Raiden says they don’t have servants or slaves, they have paid help. Mor wanted me to live with the help.I would have liked to but Raiden insisted I was a prisoner of the pack and that I could easily escape if

    “Looking for me?”Mort grins as he makes his way to my side and keeps pace with my particularly slow footsteps. I can’t think of anywhere i have to rush through right now, especially not after what i just heard in there. I shoot Mort a suspicious look as I ask, “Why are you happy?”The threat of the pack being taken from them looms closer every second and he’s wearing a smile. That’s not just odd, that’s suspicious.”You’re thinking something’s up with me aren’t you?”It doesn’t happen often that Mort reads my mind to a T, but sometimes he’s able to correctly guess what’s going through my head, albeit in a way that seems like he’s flirting with me.”I don’t see why you’d be smiling. I just came out of Raiden’s office and I'm not.”He grins, “Well you aren’t the face of the pack. Pack members notice these things y’know. Raiden is known for always having a menacing cold look on his face, and I'm known for having a full emotional spectrum, so if Raiden frowns, I frown….””The pack knows

    Raiden is still stone faced when I get into his office and I look away from his face, looking everywhere else but at him, because I'm not sure what I'd do if I hear whatever news he has and see the stony disapproving glare in his eyes too. Someone died. Yes, but that person was a spy.“The Redstones are on the move.”A spy who probably leaked even more information before she killed herself.I don’t have the mental strength to be dramatic right now so I simply lean back and wait for Raiden to fill me in on the details.”According to Mor’s contact in the Redstone pack, Alpha Caius is on the move. He targeted a small pack on the far north side of the state and he came back with a signed document which has the Alpha willing over his pack to him.We don’t know how he did it. We do know however that we’re next on the list so if we’re going to think of anything, we have to think about it now.Raiden sounds depressed.I would too if something like this was about to happen to my pack.I surpr

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 44: Developments.

    Raiden is nowhere to be found when I go downstairs for breakfast.As I suspected, room service is not available in the Tempest pack and has not been for a long time.It never made sense to me how she always wanted to come into my room. I suspect she was in there before and already found valuable information, like the alliance document and all the faults I outlined within it.It would make a lot of sense. She knows information can be gotten from there, and she knows I would be blamed for whatever got leaked to the Redstones. Raiden can’t blame me for being relieved that will come to an end now.”YOU seem lost in thought..” I look up at the sound of the voice and see Bryce standing beside me, his scar stark in the light of the morning light. I try not to sigh, because I know what he’s going to say next, “I haven’t been seeing you at harvests lately.”Mort came to me a few days ago and told me Bryce has been pestering him with questions about me. He suspects Bryce has developed some kin

    Emery’s pov.The feeling of the warm sun and open fields sends a rushing thrill through my veins.I writhe on the floor, the steady weight of someone on top of me making my nipples harden and a rush of pleasure run amok in my brain. I can feel him.I can feel every inch of him going in, and out of me. I can feel the largeness of him filling me up and the formidable girth stretching me out, massaging my walls, making me feel deep liquid pleasure.I look up, and the face in front of me flashes. It shifts between the rough around the edges hardness of someone I've just known for a month, Raiden Tempest, Alpha and Protector of the Tempest Pack.And the arresting sharpness of a man I loathe. A man who makes my insides heat up with pleasure a thousand times more intense when his face finally settles onto his tall, muscular, body.I could run my hands over the planes of his form and I would know where I was each step. From hardset abs to his well formed calves.Nikolai Angel Night, Alpha and
