Emma

Despite my absolute mortification, Reed doesn’t seem fazed by the scene in front of him. Instead, he bends down to help my Mom up despite her clumsy protests.

“I can get up by myself,” she croaks.

“I know,” Reed replies in a gentle tone. “But wouldn’t it be easier if I helped you?”

He shoots my Mom am innocent-looking smile designed to charm any woman out of her bitterness.

It works.

My Mom blushes and Reed looks satisfied when she allows him to help her back to the table. Even if my Mom and I don’t get along, my heart softens for him, even if it’s just a fraction.

Reed is sweet.

“Is she going to be okay?” Reed asks me with an arch of his brow, indicating my Mom, who’s now sitting on a chair giggling at a half-eaten sandwich that she is holding.

“She will be fine,” I tell him. “Let’s get my stuff.”

“Won’t they wonder where you’re going?”

My face burns. Reed doesn’t know that my Dad is abusive and that my Mom basically hates me since I’m the child she never wanted—they won’t care

    EmmaAfter getting rid of Alpha Jackson, not a damn soul dares to meet the eyes of Reed. They know he is their Alpha now, and while he doesn’t have time to give them an announcement, I don’t think anyone can complain. Most people just want to leave the scene, and after Reed has made a phone call to have Jackson’s body removed, I follow him to his car with my pulse drumming against my neck. I’m finally beginning to understand that all those stories I’ve heard about Alpha Reed Walton are true. He is as charming as they come, with a masculine square jaw, a sharp nose, and big bedroom eyes the color of the ocean. His skin is beautifully tanned and the dimple appearing on the side of his mouth when he smirks could melt any female’s heart.But while this Alpha is as gorgeous as they come, he is also very much an Alpha: a man who treats the pack laws like his sole religion. He killed a man who challenged him as an Alpha in front of me, and he doesn’t look sorry for it. Not one bit. Reed

    EmmaReed’s words should repulse me, yet the shivers running down my spine aren’t from disgust. They come from desire. My lips part, but I don’t have the words to respond. Reed’s eyes, still dark from his wolf within, are seething with a dominance he hasn’t shown before. From afar, he can appear cold and cruel, but up close like this, it’s overwhelmingly clear how much he desires me.He lifts a hand to gently caress my face, his fingers tracing my jawline as though he sees me as a living piece of art. I let out a deep breath in anticipation, and he smiles. Every reaction seems important to him.“You’re beautiful.” His thumb brushes against my lower lip, causing me to jerk back against the car in surprise.Is he going to fuck me right here, right now?My heart throbs in my chest with an intensity that scares me. But then again, so does Reed. My mind races with the implications of his words. Wife? Luna? Are those just words to him that mean nothing romantic? Probably.I know that I

    EmmaI’m in total shock as I follow Reed through his mansion. I’ve been here once for the event, but this time, we are walking through a more private corridor. There are so many doors... Geez, is it really necessary to have so many rooms?!“I’m going to take you to your room and tomorrow, we need to visit the black magical market for your familiar.”“familiar?” I ask in shock. It’s a term that I’ve only come across in fairy tales. It’s often used as a name for a witch’s sidekick, and their sidekicks are typically demons disguised as black cats.“You’re going to need one,” Reed looks at me over his broad shoulder. “After your Luna ceremony, the werewolf council will be distraught. An Omega has never been made a Luna before, and I imagine a lot of drama will come out of this.”“So I need a familiar to keep me safe?”He smiles. “Yes.”“…but what about you?”“I will keep you safe as well, but there are times when I can’t be around. I’m the Alpha, and while you’re the Luna, you’re also pr

    EmmaBefore finding Reed, I decide that this is a good opportunity to call Lily. She is my best friend, and I think her energy could calm me down from my inner panic attack.I can’t believe I’ve only been awake for a couple of hours, and I’m already receiving threats per letter.Shit… I definitely need to talk to Lily!I don’t have a phone since my Dad never let me keep any money I earned at the diner for myself, and whenever I needed to make a phone call, I always borrowed his.This room, however, is equipped with one of those old hotel phones that I can use to dial down Lily’s number.She answers on the first beep. “This is Lily Armstrong speaking.”I snort. “What’s with the formality?”“Emma?” she gasps. “Oh my god, I thought it was Alpha Reed calling me. I had a freaking panic attack seeing the number from his private mansion on my screen!”I snicker. “Sorry to disappoint.”“No, no, no, I’m actually glad that you called me. You don’t know how worried I’ve been ever since you passe

    EmmaI follow Reed’s scent to a closed door and knock on it with a pounding heart. But the spectacular view that greets me does nothing to calm me down. I’ve seen Reed naked before, but that’s when I was in heat, and the only thing on my mind was sex. Back then, I didn’t take my time to appreciate him. Now? Now I’m faced with a tired Reed standing in front of me dressed in only his Calvin Klein boxers, every muscle on full display as he runs a hand through his wet hair. “Emma,” he breathes out in surprise, his forehead creased in worry as he takes in my frantic state. He steps back, giving me space to enter the room. “What’s wrong?”I step into the room hesitantly, my eyes skimming around the elegant setting before returning to him.“Reed…” I start off weakly. “We… We have a problem.”I hold up the note, and Reed snatches it from my hands to scan the words with his drowsy blue eyes. After he is done reading it, he no longer looks tired. He looks pissed off. “You’re not going back t

    EmmaI’m determined not to let Reed touch me when I climb up on his bed. I quickly hide behind the blanket and pillow fort I’ve built to separate our sides of the bed. He rolls his eyes at that but doesn’t comment on it. It throws me off. I had expected him to say something. Instead, he lies down without a word, and I do the same, my back facing him as I stare at the wall. The silence is deafening, but honestly, I don’t mind it. I’m tired, and since I’m used to a trailer couch, I fall asleep immediately. At first, my dream is pleasant, but then it changes into a terrible nightmare. My baby bump is growing huge out of nowhere. I’m standing in front of a mirror in my dream, screaming when the creature inside of me moves. I never asked Reed what kind of hybrid he is. In the dream, however, our baby is a monster.“It hurts,” I complain in my dream. “It hurts so badly!”My hand instinctively shoots towards my abdomen, trying to soothe the violent movement within me. But it doesn’t wor

    EmmaMuch to Reed’s satisfaction, I wind up sleeping with my head placed over his heart. My pregnant belly isn’t big yet, so I can still sleep in any position. Tonight, I unconsciously choose “the noodle” position while cuddling with my mate. I sleep like a rock. The only problem is that it’s embarrassing when I wake up and find myself using Reed’s pectoral muscles as my own personal stress balls. I immediately stop squeezing them and lift my eyes to his amused blue. “Go on,” he teases. “I really don’t mind.”I blush furiously and smack his shoulder lightly. “You’re impossible,” I grumble, trying to sit up, but my back gives a telltale ache that makes me groan.“Easy there, sweetheart,” Reed says, worry lines etching themselves on his forehead. “You’re pregnant and shouldn’t be moving around like a ninja.”He assists me gently into a sitting position, one arm securely around my waist and the other hand running soothing circles on my back. It feels nice. I can’t help the sigh of r

    EmmaAfter eating the most luxurious breakfast I’ve ever had, Reed and I drive out of the city.His contact, who sells familiars, lives in the forest. According to Reed, she is an old witch with the ability to open portals between worlds. That’s how she finds creatures that normally don’t exist in our world.“Are you nervous?” Reed asks me as he makes a right turn. The road is surrounded by trees.“A little…” I admit, and when he glances at me, I realize he expects a longer answer. A sigh leaves my lips. “Will the familiar even be happy to serve? I don’t want to buy a familiar and wind up having a familiar that sees itself as a slave.”“Angora only sells creatures that exist to serve,” Reed assures me with his eyes on the road. “She finds those who have been thrown away by the family they used to serve, but sometimes, in rare cases, she takes in baby creatures that will make excellent pets.”“Pets?”“Magical cats or pigs,” he shoots me a smile. “But you want a mighty creature that can

    EmmaAs the limo starts moving, I lean back in my seat, my genius mind formulating a devious plan. Lily and Leon are mates, and therefore, I have to make them tie the knot…err, not literally speaking. Anyway! It will be an unorthodox pairing, a werewolf and an angelic familiar, but that doesn’t matter. I’m sure Lily’s family would adore Leon. And it’s not like he is a bad mate!No, no, Leon is good-looking and strong—Suddenly, a loud gasp echoes through the limo’s spacious interior, interrupting my musings. I turn to find Lily with her hand clapped over her mouth, her eyes wide as she points out of the window.“Look!” she exclaims, all thoughts of Leon seemingly forgotten as we pass a designer boutique. Dresses of all colors and styles can be seen through the large display window. “I’ve always wanted to shop there!”The excitement in her voice is infectious. Her earlier blush and shyness evaporate as she grins at me, her eyes twinkling with anticipation.“We are stopping there first

    Emma“Alright,” I say. I don’t usually give up easily, but this time, I will trust in my mate. “I will trust your judgment on this.”Reed grins at me like he has won the lottery. “You won’t regret this, sweetheart. Trust me on that.”“...you better be right,” I mutter. He chuckles. “I know I am.”With Reed watching me like a hawk, I get ready to start my day. He doesn’t leave me alone, though, and I roll my eyes when he wrinkles his nose at my choice of clothing. “Something wrong with what I’m wearing?”“Yes,” he says. “You could wear something way sexier,” his eyes are on my breasts. “Something that brings out your curves, you know.”“I don’t have anything to do that,” I tell him. “At least not yet.”His lips curl into a wolfish smile. “But you will get some from your shopping round today?”“Maybe.”“For me?”I roll my eyes again. It makes me happy that my mate finds me attractive enough to want me to wear sexy clothes, but I’m not used to being asked to wear that sort of stuff. “

    EmmaIt feels nice coming back to the mansion. Leon hugs me the second he sees me, and even though I can feel Reed getting jealous behind us, he doesn’t intervene. I need to form a strong bond with my familiar, and Reed must understand that on some deeper plane. The day continues with Reed attending some late-night meetings with the council while I spend time with Leon in the garden. It’s still too cold outside to plant anything, but we find pots in the shed and bring them to my room since they can be used for indoor planting. We select seeds of various plants- lavender, mint, basil, and tiny roses -that we could grow in the confines of the room, a mini garden of our own.By midnight, Reed returns from his council meeting, looking exhausted yet satisfied with how it went. Leon has been given his own room, and we are entirely alone. Reed looks at my greenhouse corner with an amused expression.“Our room is turning into a greenhouse, Emma,” he says as he sits down on the bed, laughing

    EmmaI’m totally spent and exhausted after Reed ate me out. My eyes are locked on the entrance of the cave, watching through my ragged breaths the water come down while Reed is snuggling me from behind. He is the big spoon, and a flutter goes through me when his hand strokes my belly. “What are you thinking about?” he asks. I breathe a laugh. “That I’m too weak to walk.”He chuckles. “All according to plan.”“You planned this?”I feel him shrug behind me. “If you can’t walk, you can’t leave the cave and must spend more time with me. I see it as a complete win.”I snort. “I can’t tell if you’re joking.”“I’m not,” there’s a possessive note in his voice. “It was my idea to get you a familiar, but now, after seeing Leon, I realize you and I need a stronger bond.”“Oh?” I ask in a teasing tone. “Scared I will cheat?”Reed pinches my butt, and I yelp. “Hey, stop that!” I swat at his hand and turn around to glare at him. But he doesn’t look one bit sorry. “If you don’t want to get pinch

    Emma“Are you coming or what?” Reed asks, causing me to glare daggers at him. There’s a teasing note in his voice, and when I see his smirk, I know the bastard is up to no good. Those blue eyes of his might look innocent, but I know better than to underestimate my perverted mate. Reed knows I won’t be able to resist him if I sit down in his stupid lap. If we are that close and intimate, it will be impossible not to breathe him in, and after I’ve done that, well…consider me a goner because my pregnancy hormones are messing with my head. I’m already aroused, and I haven’t even touched him yet!“Reed,” I sigh, still shivering slightly from the chill. “I swear if you start getting ideas...”He holds up his hands in a mock surrender, an innocent smile dancing across his face. “Who, me? I’m only offering to keep you warm, Emma.”It’s tempting - too tempting. I hesitate for a second before scooting over and gingerly settling on his lap. His warm, muscular arms fold around me in a strong em

    EmmaReed looks at me like I’ve suggested he open his jaws and rain fire over me. He doesn’t seem comfortable with the idea of letting me, his pregnant mate, climb up on his back at all. It’s actually rather endearing how caring he is in his dragon form. I wonder if dragons are naturally more prone to protectiveness?“One tiny little ride. I won’t hold on too tight and scratch your scales, I promise,” I implore, gazing up at Reed with eyes that I hope reflect my sincerity, although they may also reflect a hint of mischief.In response, Reed sighs—a great rush of air that sends my dark hair billowing around my face.It doesn’t look like he is going to let me ride on him, but then I pout like a puppy, and he rolls his eyes. His three heads have a silent conversation with each other, their gaze flickering between themselves and me.After what feels like an eternity, Reed crouches down to allow me easier access to his back.I watch him, slightly awestruck at his understanding. “Really?” I

    EmmaAs the light fades, I squint in Reed’s direction and step back when I hear loud screeching. It doesn’t come from one creature, but three large dragon heads that are glaring at each other as if not getting along. “Holy shit…” I back into Leon’s chest with my neck craned to stare up at Reed. His human form is gone, replaced by a towering, draconic beast that’s almost bigger than the entire mansion. My inner wolf whines at my mate’s size, and my eyes widen as I take him in as a whole. His skin is covered in shimmering bronze scales that glint with every color imaginable as they catch the sun. Majestic and grand wings from his back are casting a shadow that darkens the entire garden. He has three heads, each unique and terrifying in its own right.“I’ve heard two new heads grow out of a hydra if you destroy one of them,” Leon whispers. “Hydra dragons are truly fascinating.”I gulp. “Y-yeah, and scary.”Reed’s heads are snapping at each other, causing me to shrink further into Leo

    EmmaOnce we are back at Reed's mansion, Leon's whole face lights up in excitement. "This place is amazing!" he exclaims when he sees the interior and the many paintings of the Alphas and Lunas who led the Grim pack before Reed. "I'm glad you like it," I smile up at my angel companion. "I actually haven't lived here for very long, so I'm quite shocked every time I look around this place. It's so fancy."Leon's golden eyes meet mine. "Where did you live before moving here?""Oh," an embarrassed blush spreads over my face. I know Leon isn't asking to pry, but the truth stings. “I…umm…I lived in a trailer park with my family.""What's a trailer?" Leon asks before Reed steps in and pulls me into his embrace. "It's a sort of mobile home," Reed replies, his eyes kept on Leon but his hands all over me. It's as if Leon's presence is making him feel territorial. His fingers trace a comforting path along my back as he speaks. "Emma lived there because her family didn't have much money.""Ahh
