Emma’s pov“I hope your night with that Lycan was worth it,” Justin said as he threw me inside a dungeon. They still have them since they are stronger and more equipped to handle werewolves. Some of the prison cells are too delicate and a werewolf can easily escape. “Look at you, you are about to die and yet you are still acting all cocky,” he said, and I didn’t answer. “Fine, you will die very soon. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to say your last words,” he added. When I ignored him he walked away but made sure to spit on me before doing so. I just sat there and found myself thinking. So, it is really true that your life flashes before your eyes when you are about to die. I know my situation is different, I am not on the brink of death yet. But I can’t help but think about life before all of this. I will admit, after some time life screwed me over and took away everything from me. But before that, before all of this mess, I was once very happy. I was happy with
Emma’s povI heard more footsteps after a few hours. I had no idea that I was that popular to begin with. Dr Brown walked in, and he frowned. “I tried my best, I tried to reason with them, but they wouldn’t listen to me,” he said, and I smiled. “It’s alright Doctor, you kept my secret and I know you were going to take it with you to the grave,” I said and then he took out a paper out of an envelope. “I bought you this,” he said, and I took the paper. I found myself crying as I had a look at it. “It’s a certificate with my name on it,” I said, and he nodded. “Yes, you have been helping me for five years now. It’s time you graduate,” he said, and I smiled. “Thank you, you have been a great mentor,” I said, and he wiped away his tears. “And you have been a great mentee,” he said and then sighed as he looked at me. “I don’t know where I went wrong. But I would have loved to have a daughter as sweet and as kind as you. But no, the moon goddess gave me a son like him. A monster,”
Logan’s pov “I ASKED YOU, WHO THE HELL TOUCHED MY QUEEN?” I asked them. I looked around and they were all quivering in fear. An older woman came out of the crowd and then looked at me and then my mate. She handed me a bag, “take care of her,” she said. “What do you mean take care of her? She isn’t going anywhere,” the beta said. I recognize him, he is the one who dropped her off at the forest as well. I know most of the high rank werewolves by name. I also know this older woman; she was close to the last Alpha of this pack. “And who is going to stop me?” I asked him. I watched as he looked at my mate and then back at me. It is clear to me that his thoughts aren’t proper at all. “Alpha Hendricks, is this really how you handle things?” I asked the Alpha. “I was about to ask you the same thing. Why did a Lycan King like you imprint on a lowly omega? Have you run out of women in your pack?” he asked me. I scoffed at this and then looked at Charles. “I would mind your tone if
Logan’s pov “This is the limit; you brought a werewolf girl to this pack?” Mrs Cain said as she entered my bedroom. I turned around and looked at her. “Go back and knock,” I said, and she looked at me surprised. “I won’t repeat myself. This is my bedroom and not a public toilet that you can just enter without knocking,” I said. She frowned and then went back outside and then knocked on the door. “Come on in,” I said and then she was about to say something, but I raised my hand and stopped her. “I am your King, next time you open your mouth to talk to me. I suggest you remember that” I informed her. I watched how she swallowed back her anger. “Forgive me, but you must understand. This won’t go well, with the werewolves and Lycans as well,” she said. “I appreciate your concern, but I have a Beta and Gamma who have to worry about all that,” I said. “Yes, mother, I am here to take care of all the consequences this will bring. After all, I was the one that went with him to bring
Emma’s pov I opened my eyes and looked around the room again. My eyes landed on the Lycan King who was sleeping on the couch. Why is he sleeping on the couch? He could have had me sleep in the servant quarters instead. When I made a little movement he opened his eyes and looked at me. I watched how he quickly jumped to his feet and came to my side. “Do you need anything? Some water or food?” he asked me. “No thank you,” I said getting off the bed. “I am so sorry for inconveniencing you. I will take my leave now,” I said looking outside. It’s daylight now, I can leave here and try to figure out how I will get to paradise. “Leave? Where are you going?” he asked me confused. “Well, I don’t know where it is yet. But have you heard of a place that is considered a paradise for supernatural creatures?” I asked him. “Yes, I know very well where it is. Is that where you want to go?” he asked me, and I nodded. “Will you be able to give me directions? Or tell me where to go?” I ask
Emma’s pov “Listen, I have an important meeting outside the pack today. I will be gone all day, for now just sit here and relax. Your wounds haven’t healed up yet,” The Lycan King said. I nodded at this but couldn’t understand why he was telling me all this. He then got up and left while I just looked at him. I was about to get up when an older woman came into the room. “And why are you just sitting there? Do you think that we are going to serve you?” she asked me. “No ma’am, I was about to come downstairs and wash the dishes,” I explained. “Then why are you here? Go downstairs and wash all the dishes,” I said, and I nodded. I got the dishes and then stopped to look at her. “What is it wolf?” she asked me, and I looked at my clothes. “You see these clothes are really big on me and they belong to the Alpha King. I don’t want to ruin them, they look really expensive,” I said, and she rolled her eyes. “So what? Are you using the clothes as an excuse to be lazy? Don’t try to a
Emma’s pov “I asked, what the hell is going on here?” he asked again. “Uhm Your Majesty I am setting the table,” I said, and Ruth walked in. “Your majesty, please have a seat. Dinner will be ready shortly,” she said and then looked at me. I turned to leave the room when the Lycan King called out my name. “Emma, didn’t I tell you to rest before leaving this morning?” he asked me, and I nodded. “You did sir,” I said, and he then put his hands in his pocket. “Then why are you standing in front of me setting the table?” he asked me. I was about to answer when he took one hand out of his pocket and stopped me. “Ruth, I would like you to explain what is happening here. Why is my mate working? Why is she doing something that I pay you for?” he asked her. “It’s just that, we need a few extra hands today,” Ruth said and bowed her head down. “Oh, is that it? Couldn’t you have come to me and asked me to hire extra help? Why make my mate work? You know who she is right?” he asked her,
Emma’s pov “It’s about your imprint,” he said, and I nodded. “What about it?” I asked him and he seemed to be having a hard time to say the words. Why would a Lycan King be nervous to talk to someone like me? “Have you told anyone how it happened?” he asked me, and I shook my head. “Well good, I know this will be hard for you to do. And please don’t take me wrong,” he said and then sighed. “The way I imprinted on you. It has never happened in history, well the only time it happened was a long time ago,” he paused and then started pacing around. “It was so long that we all consider it as nothing but a myth,” he added. “Are you asking me to not tell people that you imprinted on me with just a kiss?” I asked him. “Yes, it would look weird if they know that I imprinted on you over a mere kiss,” he said, and I nodded. “Wait, I am not saying that it was a mere kiss. It was a good kiss, you have really gentle lips,” he said and looked at me. “Why are you smiling?” he asked me, and
Logan’s pov This isn’t fair at all. “Excuse me, I need to take another shower,” I said, and she looked at me confused. The good thing is when I came out of the shower she was gone. It’s already enough that I am starting to care about her more than I should. And now I desire her more than I should. The fact that she even feels that safe around me. For two people who agreed that they would go their separate ways in a few months, we sure are, moving close to one another. I went to my office and found Taylor in there already waiting for me. “What is wrong?” I asked her and she showed me a file. “We couldn’t find information on the Rouge King. But we have information that links whoever he is to a large corporation,” she said, and I nodded. “Does she have to leave?” Taylor asked me and I looked at her confused. “She has grown attached to you. And I can see that it’s the same with you. You make each other happy, when she first came here she hardly smiled,” she explained. “Not on
Emma’s pov Everything hurts, but I weirdly feel great at the same time. I opened my eyes and the moment I did the first person I saw was Logan. “You are awake,” he said with a smile. All the events of last night came to mind. “Oh gosh,” I found myself saying and he smiled. “You must be starving,” he said and then I realized there was food nearby just waiting for me. “I am so sorry,” I said, and he looked at me confused. “For not telling me the truth right away? Yeah, you better be sorry, and I couldn’t take a shower last night because of you. You should be sorry,” he said. He wasn’t angry but was just trying to show me how silly or stupid I was. “I am sorry,” I said and he smiled and shoved toast into my mouth. I looked at him, he had bags under his eyes as if he hadn’t slept. Not only that but the shirt he was wearing was covered in blood. “Are you okay? You are covered in blood,” I said, and he just shrugged. “I will get changed after I shower. For now, just eat your f
Logan’s pov My eyes landed on Emma who had a frown on her face. “Something seems off with her today,” Addison said, and I looked at her. “Why? Don’t you consider her your competition?” I asked her and she sighed. “You and I both know the real reason I want you. I care about you and love you to a certain extent but not that much. I wouldn’t make someone my enemy for you,” she said and then looked at Emma with a smile. “Especially someone who is obviously kind and has been through a lot,” she added. I watched as she walked off and she wasn’t wrong. Something doesn’t seem right with Emma today. I walked to her, and she looked at me with a smile. “You are really good,” she said, and I just shrugged. “I try my best; can I steal her for some time?” I asked Monica who nodded. “Come on,” I said, and she nodded as she came with me. “Are you okay?” I asked her and she looked at me. “Why? Why wouldn’t I be okay?” she asked me. I stopped and she also stopped as well. I put both of
Emma’s pov “You should join pack training, we all go there, and it will be good,” Monica said with a giggle. “You just go there so you can look at the guys,” Clinton said, and Monica rolled her eyes. “I would love to, but I can’t,” I said, and she looked at me. “Why do you look like you are in pain?” Ruth asked and I shook my head. “No, I am not in pain. I am just a little tired,” I said. Of course, I am in pain, it’s the full moon tonight and that training with Taylor just made things worse. “We aren’t going to fight, we will just stand and watch,” Monica said. “Don’t force her if she doesn’t want to,” Addison said. I looked at her and she was wearing workout clothing. “It’s okay, then I will just enjoy the view of a half-naked Logan all to myself,” she said with a smirk and then walked off. “Are you going to let her get all up in your man?” Monica asked me. Well, I do have to keep up the ruse of being his mate and future Queen. “Why not?” I asked Monica who smiled. She
Logan’s pov What was I going to say? She then moved away, and I managed to gather myself up. “Thank you,” I said, and she just smiled. “It’s alright,” she said but seemed to be a little stressed about something. “I will go and freshen up,” she said and then ran off to the bathroom. I also got showered when she was done and found her pacing around the room. “What’s the problem?” I asked her and she just frowned. “When I was helping you apply ice on your lips. All I could think about was how I wanted to kiss you,” she said. Yeah, I really don’t like how honest she is sometimes. I just had a cold shower, and she is here reminding me of the kiss. “That’s wrong right? I mean, I was trying to help but then those thoughts came to me. How can I have such thoughts?” she asked looking at me. “Didn’t anyone teach you the birds and bees?” I asked her and she stopped to look at me. “I know the process of having a child,” she answered, and I chuckled at that. “Well, that action or proc
Emma’s pov “That’s not how you should do it,” I said to Logan who frowned. “You said gently,” he said, and I smiled at his confused expression. “At that rate, you are stirring, we will eat tomorrow. I said gently, not slowly. I bet a slug is faster than you,” I said, and he looked at me. “You are mean in the kitchen,” he said, and I smiled at this. “I am sorry,” I said, and he looked at me with a smile. “It smells so nice,” he said with a massive smile. “I know, you were doubting me. I am a great cook,” I said, and he nodded. “But I never doubted you at all, I just thought that you were tired,” he said, and I shrugged. “I am used to working hard every day, you have a lot to worry about. Don’t put me on that list,” I said, and he stopped to look at me. “You are actually on top of my list. You are number one on my list of worries because I don’t want anything to happen to you,” he said, and I smiled. “Please can we eat, just finish cooking already,” Taylor said. “We are almo
Logan’s pov I held on to her as tightly as I could. She then pulled away after some time and I looked at her. What is happening in her mind? What is she even thinking? Why is she crying but also saying that she is happy? She just smiled and continued looking at the sunset. I looked at the windows I asked them to put in and I still couldn’t understand. Is she that happy over something this small? “What do you like eating?” she asked me, and I looked at her confused. “Anything,” I answered, and she smiled. “Come on, close your eyes, and just imagine any food that you want to eat. It could be something savory, sweet, or even sour,” she said. I shook my head at this, I am not going to close my eyes just to imagine food. I looked at her and found her smile slowly turning into a frown. “Fine,” I said and watched as her eyes lit up. “Okay, I would love some curry. Any curry would do, I want something really spicy though,” I said and then opened my eyes. “Come on, what about d
Emma’s pov I sat by the large window, and I couldn’t help but smile. The view here is even more beautiful than I realized. I watched as the sun was setting. The door opened and Logan came in and his eyes landed on me. “Do you like it?” he asked me, and I nodded with a smile. “I love it,” I said, and he sat down next to me. “I had no idea that sunsets were so beautiful,” he said, and I nodded. “We get so caught up in life that we forget to see the beauty of things,” I said and watched as he nodded. As he was looking at the sunset I managed to just stare at him for a second. With the light of the setting sun, he seemed even more handsome than usual. My eyes landed on his lips, and I found myself blushing a little. Why did I do that? Why did I ask him not to answer so I could remind him? What was I thinking? “What’s wrong? Your face suddenly turned red,” he said, and I looked up. “No, it’s nothing really,” I said and looked the other way. Should I ask him? No, Addison is
Emma’s pov “Welcome back,” Taylor said the moment we came home. “Can we talk?” she asked Logan who nodded. I watched as they walked away and realized that something was wrong. “Hello, how was your trip?” Addison asked me. “It was okay,” I said, and she smiled at this. “Glad you had fun,” she said and then walked off in silence. I still can’t understand her deal, is she trying to kill me with kindness? I got to the room, and I frowned looking around. A large part of the wall was now completely gone and replaced by glass. Not only that but everything around the room was changed. The curtains weren’t as dark as they were. A lot of natural light was coming through, and it made me wonder why. Why did he suddenly change his room like this? “It’s beautiful isn’t it?” Addison asked standing at the door. “Yes, but what happened here?” I asked and she shrugged. “I believe he did all of this for you. That day the dark scared you and his room was very dark. He had all of this done
