“Emma, don’t look back and don’t stop, as long as you have the strength, run as far as you can,” her mother, holding her hands, said with her last strength.
Emma cried looking at the young woman, whose once golden hair was red with blood, as was her body.
She was disfigured and unrecognizable, and her father was dead, along with Alpha and the other members of the pack, if anyone survived, it wouldn’t be for long.
She remembered when she arrived in the pack, together with Elena, who was an omega from her pack, who had taken care of her since birth, and masked Emma’s scent from Alpha into the omega protecting the little girl.
She was the only child of her parents and they lived together with her grandfather, who was the former Alpha of the Moon Pack, because her father took over the leadership, of course, but when Emma was born, her existence shouldn’t be known because of the prophecy from a witch, who was killed by Emma’s grandfather had said on her deathbed.
So Emma became an omega, and lived as such for eighteen long years, together with Elena, another mother.
In “Shadow Pack”, which was the name of her parents’ pack, everyone was trained to fight, both men and women, and everyone was treated equally, and Omegas.
Even though she was trained as an Alpha, nothing could prepare her for what was waiting for her.
It was one of those nights when the pack went hunting and celebrated with a big barbecue.
Of course, Emma helped in the kitchen, as usual, and later joined the celebration together with Elena. It was not so big Pack together with Alfa and Luna and she was pregnant, which was another reason to celebrate.
Only when they relaxed with music and socializing, did a howl break through the air out from the forest and while they were thinking about what was happening, the bodies of those who didn’t have time for shifting were already falling around, while the rest only could hear the growling of fighters from the pack, in battle with the enemy.
While Elena dragged me towards the hiding place, I could see a powerful apparition, in human form, that was standing far away and looking at me with its gray, cold eyes, revealing deep hatred. His black hair was half long, and his strong body was moving quickly toward us.
Elena placed me against my will in a secret room in the kitchen, threatening me that I shouldn’t go out until after midnight when I turn 18, because then I’m finally safe, she claimed.
I didn’t feel safe, nor did I want to remain a coward, hiding while the others fought for me.
I grabbed the handle, trying to prevent her from closing the door, but she just looked at me imploringly and whispered; “Forgive me, my Luna”, when I felt a strong blow that caused my eyes to see black.
I don’t know how long I was curled up in the small room, but the pain that woke me up had nothing to do with my head, but with my heart, yes.
I felt as if someone tore my heart from my chest and I could no longer hear my parents in my head, but I still felt the connection with Elena, but much weaker...
I screamed to myself, frustrated, and broke the door and ran after Elena’s scent. Then I found her.....
I’d been running for half an hour, but the voices didn’t stop. I know they’re behind me and while I pour tears, I’m asking the Goddess to give me the strength to endure the midnight and wake up my wolf, Stone, because I needed to transform for my birthday, I don’t know why, but probably because I lived as an omega for a very long time.
My thoughts did not last long because a strong blow threw me far away, into a tree, as his grey eyes pierced mine and strong hands held my neck.
“I got you, finally,” a deep voice said while mocking me.
I was shaking, feeling that I was surrounded by only evil, which was radiating from the person in front of me, but my hope was awake than by my wolf Stone who I heard in my head.
“I wouldn’t if I were you,” he laughed and injected something into my neck.
“Wolfsbane, something that will keep your wolf away, and keep you alive long enough for me to do things to you that will make you wish I had killed you immediately, but what kind of pleasure would that be for revenge?“
He got himself in my face, hitting me, so hard, that I felt dizzy. The pain I felt was terrible and unbearable, I could not move even though I heard voices around me until I became aware that I was in a dungeon, chained in the X shape.
I was hanging from the ceiling to the floor, and I could only touch it with my toes, which were already bloody.
I could hear the screams of other women and girls from my pack, while they were tortured and raped by the savages who captured us enjoying their screams.
I was sick, knowing what was waiting for me, but whatever happened, I would not allow anyone the pleasure of breaking me, never, I thought when I saw him in front of the cell door.
He was naked.
For the first time in my life, I felt true fear, disgust, and regret at the same time, knowing what kind of fate awaited me.
He opened the door, and they weren’t even locked, because Wolfsbane was holding me in chains, and I was no match for him.
He tore the clothes off me in one move, leaving me naked, looking at me lustfully and with hatred. He picked me up and pinned me against the wall, wrapped my legs around him, holding my thighs tightly.
He thrust himself hard into me, trying to put that whole, big thing in me that I was out of breath.
Tears automatically blinded me from the pain while his movements were strong and wild, and because of his size, he was tearing me from the inside, causing terrible pain in the lower part of my body, as if someone was tearing me apart.
I didn’t give him the pleasure of screaming, he couldn’t hear anything except my painful breaths, which made him even angrier and he became, even more, rougher, while his torture and experience on me lasted the whole night, so that I no longer felt either myself or my body.
I was raped in all possible ways, cut across the body, beaten...
“Get rid of the little bitch, along with the others,” I barely heard His disgusting voice, but the smell of his sweat mixed with my blood overpowered me.
He was right, it would be better that he had killed me immediately.
While he carried her in his strong arms, he could feel that she was shaking even in her sleep, which made his anxiety even worse, with the last knowledge he could extract from her, in only one way, he was not sorry to mark her, he already regretted the way he did it. He wanted it to be different. He knew that the first time he saw Emma, he was mean to her, thinking the worst. He’s insulted her, truth be told, The real reason was that he was captivated by her appearance at first glance, but also by a character that gave her the strength to fight, regardless of her past and fragile appearance. He put her down on the big bed in his room, ‘their room’, he thought, because he had already ordered that the smaller room next to it be transformed into a room for Hope, who was now enjoying her time with the nannies, and although he knew that Emma would need much time letting him into her heart. He prayed that it wouldn’t be like that, because he would be with her to change it, no matter ho
Luna Sara looked at her husband, Alpha Mason, with understanding. She was walking slowly away from the office, with the excuse that she would make them coffee, for which she knew she would wait a little longer, considering that she wanted to leave the two men to talk about everything in a more relaxed and private manner, at least as far as Alpha Arden was concerned. Although she would find out all the facts anyway, she wasn’t ready to immediately face the new facts that were related to Emma and Hope, knowing that all this would affect the lives of all of them. “Khan is 5 years older than me, but our parents always called us twins because of the similarity that couldn’t be explained.” “You know how Alpha can feel their Mate earlier, and that day, when the boundaries were attacked he was learning how to take over the title from our father, so he stayed longer in the office.” " When he heard what’s happened, he came, and on the spot, he found father, his beta, and dead rogues, among
“But Mom, I saw Mia preparing the basket, I know we’re going on a picnic, Uncle Arden promised me!” Hope looked pleadingly at Emma, despite her determined little voice. “Hope honey, you know how busy Uncle Arden is and we hardly ever see him. "Besides, Mia didn’t mention anything, did she?“ She stroked her daughter’s hair gently, while her gaze was directed at Mia, who just turned away head, smiling enigmatically, continuing to work in the kitchen. A rough cough was heard from the door, to which Emma jerked suddenly, seeing a tall man with blond hair and eyes, whom she recognized as Beta, standing still. “Devek!“, Hope suddenly broke out of her hand, running into his arms, which surprised Emma. “Hey, pumpkin” he laughed happily, lifting Hope into his arms. “Ready?“, he whispered to her, looking at Emma who raised an eyebrow, questioningly which made him serious and cleared his voice, gently letting Hope go, while she was holding him still for blond hair. “I’m sorry Luna, Alpha
He looked at her, as she approached, lightly and shyly, while he removed one hand from his hips, running it through his wet hair, and instantly tingles passed through her, and when he approached her, smiling at her, he grabbed her hand, she lost herself in his deep gaze, and feelings she didn’t even know existed. All of a sudden, all hell broke loose, and before she knew it, Arden pushed her behind him, and she could feel his tense muscles and anger when she looked up and met a pair of familiar, cold, gray eyes, from which hatred was emanating. His eyes shone like the brightest sun, but the coldness was incomprehensible, while he held her little girl in his arms, who was looking at her terrified, holding Khan’s hand with his hand, with which he covered her mouth so that she would not cry out for help. Derek’s arms wrapped tightly around her, preventing her from moving, and even though she was an Alpha and stronger than him, she didn’t have the strength to resist, too shocked, and s
Arden’s POV I looked at her fragile and scared, but with eyes full of longing, desire, and love, which I wanted to give her myself, I wanted to show her that I belonged to her with all my being and that I wasn't like him, and that I will never hurt her, while there is a drop of life in me. I put her as gently as I could on the bed, watching as her transparent nightgown lifted, revealing her beautiful, fragile body, like a girl, and for a moment I wanted to remember that look she gave me, as an approval, that she was not afraid of me and that she trusts me, which gave me the confidence that I lacked with her for so long. I put my lips on hers, lightly biting her lower lip, to let me explore their insides with my tongue, awakening in me an uncontrollable passion, but I had to control myself because I didn’t want to hurt her, although my kisses became more and more passionate, deeper I still controlled myself. Still, I could feel her passion, with which she responded to them. Her ha
Emma’s Pov I looked at him, in all his beauty and power, and those eyes, which I fell in love with, told me that I could trust him and surrender to him, without fear that I would be hurt, ever, in any sense. His strong hands lifted me gently, awakening tingling in my whole body, which I had never felt, but with him, the desire that took over me was indescribable, it was all in one, and I wanted it to never end. It wasn’t ‘HIM’, it was Arden, my mate, the man who is destined for me and to whom I am destined, and I was sure when he put me down on the bed, gently like a child, afraid he would do anything wrong, that everything will be fine. His lips explored mine, and I let them go, following his tongue and answering him, eagerly awaiting his touches, which were like fire, on my heated body, which burned after his. I have never felt so much bliss, nor desire, and I could not believe how I reacted to his every touch, felt his breath on my skin, while I let out sighs of pleasure. My
Still clinging to his chest, he wrapped her in a towel and slowly laid down on the bed, lying next to her, and while he tucked her in like a child, he didn’t take his eyes off her. “Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked him, feeling uneasy. “Forgive me, Emma,” his deep voice trembled for a moment. “Because of everything I said, did, because of the pain, I caused you, even though I had my faults, it does not justify my actions, and I want you to know that I am truly sorry. “ I regret it, and I will try my whole life, to make amends to you, to be the man you want me to be,” he finished, in a quieter tone. “I know,” she said softly, caressing his face. “But I don’t want you to change, and I understand your actions, because I don’t think I would ever have the strength to tell you the truth to your face, it’s better if you’ve seen it,” her eyes watered, when she looked down, but he turned, gently, towards himself. ” It’s not something you should be ashamed of, that’s passe
“I still have to get something to do, and you girls, don’t get too far away, because I’ll come after you, then we can visit the property together.” Arden kissed Emma on the forehead before moving into the office, with Derek. The day was beautiful and sunny, and Emma was happier than ever, still feeling Arden’s touches and kisses on her, so anything that Hope asked her, she answered with a smile, not noticing, that they had moved quite away from home, but they were nowhere near the forest or borders. Still, a strong feeling, to be on alert, fulfilled all her senses, when, like an angry herd, a terrible noise broke through the valley, carrying fear, and the smell of blood and death. The scream from the pack house sounded like Anna’s, when Emma crashed Hope, and ran toward the house, where Arden was, with Derek. The smoke and fire affected the part of the buildings, where the members of the pack and the children were, and the thick cloud of completely black smoke, threatened her path
Shortly after leaving, a familiar voice was heard near the cabin, where they both went to get dressed, because as much as they wanted to, now was no time for tenderness, and Hope ran like the wind into both of their arms, leaving Derek and Anna behind her. Now Emma could see the wounds on Arden, which were already healing, but that didn’t make it any easier, finally hugging her little girl and the man she loved, she could be truly happy. She tried not to cry when she saw her friend alive and well, who couldn’t help but burst into tears when she hugged her, which saddened Derek even more, regardless of the circumstances, since her round belly was already showing. Emma saw that which made her even happier for everything, hoping that one day she too would get the same chance for happiness. The witches had already largely restored the state to its former condition, except that the dead could not return... This was something that they would have to deal with for the rest of their life
She had no time for tears, or strength because her body was burning more and more and the pain she felt was unbearable, both physically and mentally. “Emma, wake up, you can’t give up,” a familiar voice that she hadn’t heard in a long time came into her head. “Stone...“, she barely said. “Yes, I am and I want you to listen to me, you have to endure, now is the time for the transformation, which we both waited for a long time.” “I promise you that this will be a lot of pain because the transformation will be faster than you would expect, but I also promise you that this is the first and last time, that it will be like that.” Stone said, sympathizing with her pain. Emma felt every bone in her body take on a new form, cracking and twisting as her body twisted strangely as cold sweat poured down it. Her screams were such that, if someone had been present, the blood would have frozen in his veins, but in half an hour she felt the pain subside, and her senses became extremely strong,
