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
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,
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
“Emma, if you can come earlier tonight so we could prepare all for our guest’s dinner tonight, I’ll help you with Hope, sweety”. “Yes, Luna”, I just need to bathe Hope, and we’re on our way there”. I put on my sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a shirt, my sandy-colored hair was in a messy bun, I took Hope with me and started walking to the pack-house. “Oh, thank God, I ’m so nervous because of Maison’s guest, he’s such a stiff person, I never know what he’s thinking”, Luna said, taking Hope, and going to the kitchen while I followed her. I thought he and Alpha Mason were high school friends?“, I asked her while I was preparing dinner. “Yes, they were, but back then Arden was already changed because of his parent's death." " He was only 15 when a pack of the rogues killed them, and he needed to take the Alpha role which I believe made him the strongest Alpha leader of a most powerful pack ever”, She said it was a bit sad though. “THE STONE HEART PACK”?!, I was asking in shock,
I woke up in the living room, hearing familiar voices and a discussion, which made my headache stronger. I immediately remembered what had happened before I lost the ground under my feet and I automatically got up because I was scared for Hope. ” Shhh, Hope is in Luna’s room and sleeping soundly”. Jane tried to calm me down. “I was waiting for you to wake up to tell you not to worry and now I’m going to her right away and you rest, everything will be fine.” Why did I have a stupid feeling that she was wrong, because of all that yelling from the kitchen I knew nothing good would come of it. “Damn it, Arden, how could you even think to say such a thing to her, to anyone, let alone your Mate”, I never heard Alpha Mason talk like that to anyone. "She’s not my Mate !“, Arden hissed. I saw Mason look at him with disbelief. “ Such pathetic thinking, Alpha Vulcan, especially when the Goddess gives us a unique chance to find our soulmate, and I don’t think you young people can judge Em

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
“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
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
