Logan POV Logan shifted his weight off of her and on to the bed and pulled her close. His fingers traced his mark on her shoulder. She was his, regardless of what happened on the blue moon, she was his. Thinking of the blue moon made him anxious. They were running out of time and he was afraid that Emma wasn’t going to be strong enough to complete her shift. Her leg was causing her too much pain for him to try and help her strengthen up. He just had to hope that she would be better in a few weeks. He heard snoring coming from Emma. He looked down at her beautiful face to see her sleeping peacefully. It was about time, he thought. He held her tightly and let her sleep and it wasn’t long before he was asleep himself. The alarm clock woke him up the next morning, he didn’t even remember setting it. He turned the alarm off before it woke up Emma. She was still snoring. That was the first night that she had slept all night without having to have a sedative. He didn’t know what she had
Logan POV Logan was looking at himself and at Emma. Her belly was swollen and Logan was rubbing her stomach, talking to the baby that was growing in her belly. There was a woman standing behind them, she had long dark hair and ice blue eyes. She had this sparkling aura around her as she enclosed Logan and Emma in her aura, like she was protecting them. He didn’t know who this woman was, but she looked familiar. Her eyes were just like Emma’s. He felt a hand grab his and he looked over to see Emma standing beside him, tears falling down her cheeks. He looked back over to see himself and the other Emma looking back at them, they were both smiling, they were so happy. He squeezed Emma’s hand. Next thing he knew, they were back in the shower. He removed his teeth from Emma’s mark and pulled back and looked at her. Tears were falling down her face. “What was that?” he asked. “You seen it too?” she asked. “I saw us, you were very pregnant, and there was a woman standing behind us
Emma POV Emma and Logan were headed towards her parents' pack territory. Logan hadn’t taken any chances with their safety. There was a car in front of them and behind them, each with five guards. Even with all the guards, she still didn’t feel completely safe. She felt as if someone was following them, watching them. She was terrified that the wolves would jump out of trees and attack them. She wouldn’t feel safe until they were in Shadow Moon’s territory and behind the gate. The trip seemed to take forever and Emma was getting anxious. The further away from home they got, the worse her anxiety was. She kept chewing on the inside of her cheek in order to keep from telling Logan just to turn around and take her home and to just have the pictures sent over. Shopping with Logan’s sisters, Morgan, and Alexis had been fun. Even though they had been in town, the town was safely inside their pack’s territory fence. Logan picked up her hand and kissed her knuckles. She looked at him and
Emma POV Emma was pacing back and forth, so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t hear Logan come back into the office. So, when he put his hand on her shoulder she nearly jumped out of her skin. “Whoa there, you ok?” Logan asked. “Yeah, I’m fine. What did Alpha Kyle say?” Emma asked. “He told me that everything that belonged to your ancestors are still in their old house. When your great great grandparents died, their house was closed up and everything was left inside. Nobody has been in the house since.” Logan told Maggie. “Really?” Maggie asked. Logan nodded his head. “Is Kyle related to you in any way?” Maggie shook her head. “My great grandmother was an only child. After she left the pack, the beta’s family took over as alpha.” “I asked Kyle if it would be ok for us to come and go through things, with your permission of course.” Logan said. “I would like to go too. I would like to see where our family came from as well.” Maggie said. “Good luck getting Dad to ag
Logan POV The car ride from Shadow Moon pack to Black Night pack seemed to take forever. Logan could barely concentrate on driving because he was feeling so much anxiety coming from Emma through their bond. He wouldn’t admit it, but her having that kitten with her helped her anxiety some. She was still anxious, but nowhere near as bad as she was on the way to Shadow Moon. He understood why she was so anxious, he just wished she didn’t have to be. They had spent most of the day going through things that belonged to her family. They found old pictures in the attic, but none of the pictures held the woman they were looking for. Which only means that if the woman was one of Emma’s ancestors, she pre-dates the invention of the camera. They were in the process of boxing things up to have sent to Shadow Moon pack. Maggie decided she wanted to take her ancestor’s belongings home with her. Not that he could blame her, he would want to as well, but he wished this process could hurry along.
Unknown POV Sir, the lady has left the pack’s territory with the Alpha. Guards? Yes, sir. A car in front and a car behind. Keep on them. He closed the mind link. He had his scouts keeping an eye on her, watching, waiting, hoping to catch her outside the territory. Her Alpha was proving to be annoying. Nobody had left territory’s fences in weeks. At least not without guards. He had to get her alone. Get her away. She would be his queen, even if he had to slaughter the whole pack to get her. Although he would prefer not to have to. Killing the whole pack would be too messy, and attract too much attention. One missing wolf wouldn’t raise too many questions, but slaughtering an entire pack would be a completely different story. He had been all over the world and never seen a woman so beautiful. The moment he laid his eyes on her, he knew he had to make her his. And her power, she was a very powerful wolf, even if she didn’t know it, and he suspected that she didn’t. Nobody ha
Logan POV She was absolutely beautiful. Logan watched Emma as she shifted into her wolf. He had never seen anything so beautiful. She was perfect. And almost as big as he was. The way she moved was so graceful and agile. And FAST. Emma left him and Dylan in the dust. He watched as she ran ahead of them until she was out of sight, he began to slightly worry even though they were still inside their territory, he didn’t like not being able to see he. He tried to mind link her, but nothing. He couldn’t get through to her which made him worry a little more. He started to howl trying to get Emma's attention and they eventually caught up to her. As they caught up to her though, she was turned and ready to attack. The growl that came from her made his chest swell with pride, even though she was growling at him. He shifted back and walked through the trees with his hands up. “Whoa, whoa! It’s just us.” he told her. Dylan walked up beside him. Logan noticed that Dylan was careful not to loo
Emma POV Emma couldn’t sleep. She kept having dreams of wolves attacking her pack and killing everyone, and she was helpless to stop it. All she could do was stand there, frozen, watching everyone in her pack die. The dreams were getting worse, more vivid, and changing. Now, in the middle of the wolves there was this one wolf that stood in the center of the rest. This wolf was solid red, the color of blood, its eyes were completely black. She had seen this wolf before. It was the same one that attacked her. She didn’t know what it was about this wolf, but it terrified her. She kept these dreams to herself. She didn’t want to tell Logan, he was already worried enough as it was. It was tearing her up not telling him, keeping this to herself has been a burden almost too heavy for her to carry. She needed to talk to someone, tell them what she was seeing. If her mother was right and she is actually having visions, she needed to warn the pack. If these dreams came true and she said nothi

Alessio POV He stood on the rocks, watching the sun beginning to creep up over the horizon. Brilliant rays and hues of red and orange cascaded across the sky. Anger coursed through him. His blood was boiling. How did they not realize that she was pregnant before now? This changed everything. His whole plan was shot to shit now. The witch would be here at any moment. He needed her to take care of the problem, one way or another. He turned on his heel and headed towards the pier. He stood at the edge, watching the waves crashing against each other in the distance as the storm raged around them. The storm he felt inside of him, tearing him apart like he was a rickety wooden boat trying to weather a hurricane. On one side, it was calm, peaceful, bright. The other side was hell on earth. A storm that raged on for miles and miles with torrential rainfall that just left you cold and wet. A circle of light caught his attention. Small at first, growing bigger ever so slightly. His hear
Alessio POV “Don’t worry brother, they will pay for it. They wanted you to be their King so you would go to war for them. Then made ran us out of our home afterwards. They used us to fight a war that had nothing to do with us.” Sebastian said. “I wasn’t completely innocent. I let the power of being King go to my head. I liked the power of it.” Alessio said regretfully. “If they hadn’t involved us in their war, you would have never been King for it to go to your head.” Sebastian said. “It doesn’t matter, the past is the past and we can’t change it. All we can do now is look to our future.” Alessio said. Sebastian got up from his chair and walked over to Alessio and put his hand on Alessio’s shoulder. “Our future where we will be home.” Alessio covered Sebastian’s hand with his own. “Yes, we will be.” Alessio picked up his coffee and took a drink. As soon as he did, he spit it back out. Coffee spewed everywhere. It had gotten cold. “Glad I wasn’t still sitting in that cha
Alessio POV He woke to the sun shining through the windows. Rubbing the back of his hand over his eyes, wiping the sleep out of them, he sat up in the huge king-size bed. Emma was lying next to him, snoring softly. She still hadn’t woken up from the sedative, but it should be wearing off at any time. A low growl rumbled from his chest as he saw part of the mark on her neck, peeking out of the collar of her shirt. Soon it would be his mark on her neck instead. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and placed his bare feet on the cold wooden floor. He felt completely rested, he hadn’t slept this good in years. Today marked a new beginning for him and his pack. And his Queen. Today, they all began their new lives. He was excited to start the day, a feeling he hadn’t had in a long time. It felt good to feel something else besides anger and resentment. He still had those feelings, but they weren’t at the forefront anymore. He looked behind him at his sleeping Queen and he felt lik
Alessio POV Alessio leaned against the car, his patience wearing thin. He was anxious to be on the road. Where the fuck are you? He mind linked Sebastian, letting his impatience sound through his voice. Almost there, sir. Well hurry the fuck up. Yes, sir. Still leaning against the car, Alessio crossed his arms over his chest. His foot tapping, showing his aggravation, when finally, he seen his pack approaching. “About fucking time. Let’s go.” He snapped, tossing the bag of keys to Sebastian to distribute. “You ride with me.” He told Sebastian. “Yes, sir.” Sebastian said, nodding his head once. Alessio climbed in the driver’s seat and put the key in the ignition. The car purred to life. Only a few things in this life gave Alessio satisfaction, the sound of his favorite car’s engine was one of them. Once Sebastian climbed into the passenger seat and shut the door, he put the car in drive and pressed the gas pedal to the floor. The car sped off, gravel flying out fro
Alessio POV They had been hiding, watching, for two days now. Waiting. “Sir, something isn’t right.” Sebastian said. “I know.” he said curtly. They had watched the patrols go by all day yesterday, and today, not one single patrol. He didn’t need his Beta to tell him something that was obvious. “They know we are coming. They are pulling their guards back, they are getting ready to fight.” Alessio told him. “But how? How did they know we were coming?” Sebastian asked. “I don’t know. Cut the fence, let’s go.” Alessio commanded. “But sir-” Sebastian began. Alessio grabbed him up by his throat and squeezed. “If you value your life, you will do what the fuck I say and not question me again.” Alessio threw Sebastian against a tree. Sebastian landed on his knees, clutching his throat. Coughing and gasping for air. “Yes sir.” he said hoarsely. “Do it.” Sebastian said, turning to the guy holding the metal cutters. Once the hole was big enough, they crossed the fence and into Silv
Zara POV Zara sat in the upstairs office that Emma had claimed for her own. She was having a hard time believing the things Emma had told her. First, this Alessio guy was the one that had her parents killed, the one that has been after her ever since she was a kid. She had never known who it was behind the mercenaries, she just knew that there was someone that was funding them. They weren’t smart enough to know what they were chasing her for. Second, her grandmother was Emma’s grandmother’s sister. That was even harder to wrap her mind around than Alessio. Her grandmother’s name had in fact been Lola, and she talked about her sister, Lela, all the time before she passed. She talked about how much she had missed her, showed her the letters that her sister had written her, even though she had been forbidden to. Lela hadn’t cared that her parents didn’t like her sister’s mate, all she cared about was that her sister was happy. They never got to see each other, but they were at least
Emma POV She knew she should go back down to the party, she just couldn’t bring herself to. She didn’t want to have to plaster a fake smile on her face and pretend like everything was ok. She wanted to wallow in the pits of despair that consumed her. She spotted Alexis in the crowd and she felt her heart crack. A fresh wave of pain tore through her, fresh tears flowed from her eyes and down her face. She didn’t think that pit of despair could get any deeper, but it just did. She watched everyone party and having a good time. A pang of guilt hit her, they were here for her, to celebrate her, and she couldn’t even bring herself to face them. She knew she needed to climb out of this well she was drowning in, she just couldn’t get her first grip on the wall. The more she reached up, trying to get a hold of something to pull herself up, the more she slipped back down. She needed a lifeline, someone to throw down a rope for her. But this wasn’t something anyone could help her with, s
Emma POV “His brother?” Logan asked. “Yes, his brother. Alessio has two brothers. Sebastian and Marco. Alessio is the oldest, then Sebastian, then Marco. Sebastian is his Beta. Marco was his Gamma.” Evelyn explained. “Ah, shit.” Logan said. “You can bet your ass he will be coming on the next full moon. He would have felt Marco’s tether snap, and he will be coming for you. He won’t let his brother’s death slide.” Evelyn told them. “Alessio doesn’t care about anything but power, Sebastian, and Marco. He will want revenge, and he will do whatever it takes to get it.” “Happy Birthday to me.” Emma said sarcastically. “It’s your birthday?” Evelyn asked. Emma nodded. “Happy Birthday.” Evelyn told her. “Thank you.” Emma said and managed a weak smile. This was not how she imagined her birthday going. Emma’s chest was tight, and she was consumed with pure terror. She had been terrified enough before she found out this stuff, and now... Emma sighed. Evelyn told her to trust
