Logan’s pov “You found nothing on her? Even before she went to Alpha Hendricks’s pack?” I asked Taylor and she nodded. “Nothing, it is as if all traces of her have been erased,” Taylor explained. Erased? Why would all traces of her be erased? Something tells me that she wasn’t born a rouge. Even if she was a rouge, they still have records of their existence, but she doesn’t. How is that even possible? “Have a mole go and look for any records at Alpha Hendrick's home,” I said and then Charles nodded. “Or, what if we just ask her?” Taylor asked me and I shook my head. She already isn’t comfortable around here and I don’t want her to feel like we are interrogating her. “No, for now, let’s see if we will find anything. Plus, she didn’t know her last name,” I informed them, and they nodded. I went to my room and Emma was just getting out of the shower. “Hi, I know we had quite a big lunch. But I bought you some food from downstairs in case you were hungry,” she said. I looked
Emma’s pov “It’s 4am, why are you up” The Lycan King asked me. “I need to get started with work,” I said, and he sighed. He was obviously still very sleepy and must have been woken up by me. “It’s 4am,” he repeated, and I nodded. “Work hours here started at 6am, get back to sleep and get some sleep,” he said. I have bothered him a lot haven’t I? I even woke him up so early in the morning. And that’s not it, when I woke up I found him sleeping so close to the end of the bed I thought he was going to fall off. I realized that he was trying to keep some distance between us. A lot of thoughts came to mind but then I realized that he might have done it for me. He did it so that I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. He then opened his eyes and looked at me. He got off the bed and then went to the bathroom and then came out dressed. “If you are going to wake up at 4am, then let’s go on a run,” he said, and I nodded. I also got changed and we went out on a run. I could see that he was
Emma’s pov Flashback“Listen to me kiddo, you and your brother are going to get out of the car. Some people are following us,” my mother said but I frowned. “Mom I am 16 years old; you should start telling me the truth,” I said and looked around the car. My dad and my brother looked at each other and then back at me. “And you can start by telling me where we are going. Not only that, but also why did someone attack our pack? Who is it that’s running after us?” I asked them. “Listen, Emma, we don’t have the time to explain everything. But you should know this, it’s because we have the last name of Bishop. Which means that whatever happens, don’t ever tell anyone your last name,” my dad said. He then took out a bag and handed it to Rowan. They stopped the car, “take care of her,” he said, and Rowan nodded. “I am sorry kiddo, one day you will understand what is happening,” Mom said. “For now, go and hide as far away from here as possible. Don’t come here no matter what you hear,
Logan’s pov “You know that this won’t be easy right?” Charles asked me and I nodded. “Is it necessary? You know that the identity of the Rouge King is heavily protected,” Taylor said. I know what I am trying to do is almost impossible. The Rouge King is the man who runs the city that people call paradise. He welcomes anyone that walks in and gives them a pack. They call him the Rouge King, not because he is a rouge but because he won’t conform to the laws that the Alpha King sets. The Alpha King is just another terrible person that I don’t have the energy for. He can see the terrible things that his people are doing but turns a blind eye. I am the Lycan King, I make sure that I keep an eye on what happens to other packs under me. No Lycan will be abused or tormented on my watch. But with him, his people are being abused and tormented every single day. Not only that, but they are being killed and he doesn’t seem to care. This Rouge King, it would have been best if he was
Logan’s pov “Is she okay Doctor?” I asked her and she nodded. “She is perfectly fine, don’t worry. She just had a panic attack and should be okay in a few hours,” the doctor said, and I nodded. “Why did Mira do such a thing?” Taylor asked. Honestly, I felt everything that Emma was feeling in that place, and I knew she was in pain. “Call her here now,” I said, and Taylor nodded as she walked away. They came back with Mira who was already sobbing and got on her knees the moment she stepped into the room. “I am so sorry, I didn’t think that she would freak out,” she said, and I looked at her. “If that was the case then why did you lock her up in there?” I asked her and she couldn’t answer. “He asked you a question, you locked up someone in a dark room. Why did you do it?” Charles asked her. “Because, why her? She is nothing but a low-rank omega and a rouge one at that. I would have happily let things go had you imprinted on someone. Why her?” she asked me. “What are you even s
Emma’s pov “You didn’t have to forgive her,” Logan said, and I just shrugged. “Had I not experienced that thing a long time ago then her prank wouldn’t have been bad,” I answered. What made the experience bad was that I already had trauma. “It would have been just another harmless prank,” I said, and he nodded. “But it was still a cruel thing to do,” he said, and I smiled. “I have lived in Alpha Hendricks pack, what Mira did was nothing,” I said, and he then looked down. “You don’t have to pretend to be strong. I felt it, the panic, the fear that you felt. I felt all of it,” he said, and I looked at him confused. “What do you mean when you say that you felt it?” I asked him and he sighed. He suddenly got up and started pacing around the room. It’s like he couldn’t find the words to tell me what he meant. “It means exactly that, I don’t want to hide this from you because it concerns you as well,” he said. “Okay, go ahead,” I said, and he nodded and then sat back down. “The
Logan’s pov “You will have to go to visit Lycan Elman’s pack,” Taylor said, and I nodded. He is one of the most important leaders in the Lycan world. “Yes, but I do have my concerns about Emma. I don’t want to risk leaving her here. But I also don’t know if going there with her is such a great idea,” I said, and they all nodded. “Lycan Elman is old fashioned, he doesn’t like change and it’s why you are visiting him. So, you can assure him that this won’t mess with your reign,” Charles said. “Yes, but what better way to show him that than going with Emma? Maybe you both can win his heart,” Taylor said. “You mate does have that kindness in her eyes. Hell, even Addison who doesn’t like anyone seems to like her,” Taylor added. I thought about it, if anything happens to her while I am away I will feel bad. But also taking her to the lion’s den sounds like a bad idea. “I say go with her,” Taylor said giving me a thumbs up. “I say leave her here. We are both here and will ensure t
Emma’s pov “Do I look that bad?” I asked them since everyone was looking at me like I had grown heads. My eyes then landed on Addison who didn’t want me to look in the mirror. She probably painted me like a clown to make fun of me. I get that everyone is saying that I look good but are they just mocking me? Is this an inside joke that I am not a part of? “Excuse me,” I said and then walked away. “Is everything okay Emma?” I heard Logan ask me. I had already closed the bathroom door and tried to stop myself from crying. Why is it always me? Why can’t I just meet people who don’t constantly want to embarrass me? Flashback “Julia, here is the dress you asked for. It’s been pressed just like you asked,” I said, and Julia nodded. “Emma, you are a really beautiful girl, aren’t you? don’t you want to come to the party with us?” Juliana asked me. “I don’t have anything to wear, and isn’t the party for high-rank werewolves?” I asked them and they shook their heads. “No, it’s no
Emma’s pov “How about a game of chess before you leave?” Mr Elman asked me. “Why not?” I asked and he smiled as he prepared everything. “I didn’t know that you are good at chess,” Logan said, and I just shrugged. “I try,” I said, and Mr Elman shook his head. “I am not that good, I am just learning a bit,” I said, and he looked at me. “Really? I have been playing chess for 30 years and yet she won against me,” Mr Elman said. He then chuckled once again and pointed at the board. “She is winning even now,” he said, and I looked at Logan. “You are intelligent, you shouldn’t hide all that intelligence,” he said, and I smiled. We finished up and as we were getting ready to leave I saw Jess and Logan going off somewhere. He came back with a smile on his face. Does he like her? Wait, why am I even thinking about all of this? It’s none of my business if I am being honest. “We should really get going, it’s getting late,” he said, and I nodded. “Please stay well,” I said, and Jes
Logan’s pov I went to the bathroom to freshen up and when I came back Emma was fast asleep. Still in makeup and also still wearing her shoes. I helped her by taking off her shoes and noticed she didn’t even wake up. I looked at her and she had no frown lines on her face as she was sleeping. She seems to be at peace for the first time since I met her. And if it was any other day I am sure that she would have woken up the moment I tried to touch her feet. I helped her sleep on her side of the bed and then got a wet towel to remove her makeup, but it didn’t work. I walked outside the room to find Jess and found her going to her room. “Is there any special thing I can use to remove the makeup?” I asked her and she smiled. “Yes, I will go and get them for you,” she said running into her room. She came back with wipes and then handed them to me. “Thank you for this,” I said and turned to leave. “Excuse Lycan King,” she said, and I turned around to look at her. “I know you came
Emma’s pov I looked at Logan, now everything was in his hands. I have done my bit and exposed him, what is left is all up to him. Steven looked at me and then at Jess. “Then I will have to tell you the truth and expose your father. Didn’t I tell you that you shouldn’t do anything stupid?” he asked looking at Jess. “Fine then, you leave me no choice,” he said and got off the ground. A few seconds ago, he was in tears and was crying about all of this. And now he looks like the actual monster that he is. It’s scary how he did a total 180 there. “Fine, there is something that I think you should all know,” he said at the top of his lungs. He then looked at Lycan Elman as if giving him a final warning. “Jess Elman, she is my uncle’s illegitimate child,” he said and then looked at Jess. “Yes, the woman you thought was your mother isn’t your real mother. You are a result of an illicit affair,” he said with a smirk. I watched as his smirk dropped when he noticed that no one actual
Logan’s pov“Why are you looking at me like that?” Emma asked me and I just shrugged. “It’s just that I like this side of you,” I responded, and she frowned. “What side?” she asked. “The fighting spirit inside you, you made him fear you,” I said, and she smiled. “Really?” she asked, and I nodded. “It’s a good thing that we went down for dinner. You showed him his place,” I said. Well, I don’t want to talk about the fact that she made me touch her thigh. She was wearing a long dress like she always does but I still couldn’t stop myself from smiling. I realized that she wasn’t uncomfortable, and she trusted me enough to use me as her shield. “I hope that everything goes well tomorrow,” I said, and she smiled. “I hope so too, I just realized that if we can’t stop him then he will turn into another Justin,” she said. She got changed and then we got ready for bed. The next day I spent the entire day working on documents with Lycan Elman and Steven. Steven got up and left us al
Emma’s pov “When did you do all of this?” I asked Jess who smiled. “Over the years, this is the only thing that is keeping me safe from him,” she said. “Wow, great thinking,” I said, and she smiled. “How did you come up with the idea?” I asked her. “Well, I was into videography for years. I wanted to make a documentary and would walk around with a camera taking videos. One time I left it on by mistake and when I looked back at the footage I saw all the nasty things he has been doing to others,” she said, and I nodded. She has been recording him secretly for the last few years. “So, he knows that you have this?” I asked her and she shook her head. “He knows only about the one I recorded by mistake,” she said. “You showed him that one on purpose to protect yourself,” I said, and she nodded. In the first video, you can tell that he is still very young in there. So, she showed him because then he wouldn’t be too paranoid but would still tread carefully around her. This is beca
Logan’s pov “Your mate, she seems kind and intelligent,” Lycan Elman said. “And she is really beautiful, you have found yourself a germ,” Steven said. I looked at him and I didn’t like the way he said that. “I heard that she was tortured and Alpha Hendricks Pack. And that he did things to her,” Steven added. I looked at him, he had this evil hint in his eyes that I didn’t like at all. “When you say things, what are you implying?” I asked him trying my very best to remain calm. “Don’t answer that, Steven why would you ask someone such a question?” Lycan Elman asked him. “No, it’s all right. I think he is just being curious,” Emma said as she walked in hand in hand with Jess. “I don’t like his curiosity, especially when he is trying to imply something like that,” I said, and she just smiled. “Relax Logan, you don’t have to be angry about such a minor thing,” she said and then looked at Steven. “Actually, one of them tried. It was the Beta; he tried more times than I can count
Emma’s pov All I have to do is get through the next few days and we are out of here. I looked around the room and Logan was still sound asleep. I would go for a run, but I don’t feel comfortable enough to do that on my own. I got dressed up and decided to just walk around until I found maybe a garden or somewhere I could relax. “Morning Future Queen Luna,” I heard Lycan Elman’s voice. “Morning,” I said and then turned to look at him. “I have a cup of tea every morning, I am going there to get one,” he said. I looked outside from the window near me, and I couldn’t help but smile. It was still dark outside; well, I am glad I didn’t come off as a weirdo. “Would you like to join me?” he asked me, and I nodded. We walked downstairs to the kitchen, and I watched as he took out a chessboard. “I also play once a day,” he also added, and I nodded. “I will make us some tea while you set it up,” I said, and he shook his head. “Please, you are a guest, and I would like for you to ta
Emma’s pov I looked at myself in the mirror. I just took a shower; how do I even style my hair the way Addison did? “What’s wrong, you have been looking at yourself in the mirror for some time,” Logan said, and I just shrugged. “I don’t know how to style my hair,” I said, and he looked at me confused. “You have never styled your hair?” he asked me. My mother used to do it, and everything that happened to my pack happened before I could learn how to do such a thing. “No, I have never done such things,” I said, and he nodded. “Let me do it for you,” he said, and I looked at him confused. “Can you do it?” I asked him and he nodded. I gave him the hair dryer and all the other supplies, and he smiled. I could tell that he seemed really determined about all of this. He started doing my hair and then when he was done he smiled. “Come on, go and look in the mirror,” he said, and I went to check. What was I expecting? I asked help from a man so that explains why he made me look
Emma’s pov We got to the pack and his eyes landed on me. “Don’t bow your head to anyone, you are the future Lycan Queen,” he said, and I frowned. “But I am not, I know we are pretending but how can I pretend that I am the future Lycan Queen?” I asked him. Even if I do pretend, my aura will just give it away. This is not a fake it till you make it situation. “Just don’t bow, you don’t have to command them. Just consider that you are human for the days we are here. In some cultures, humans don’t bow at all,” he said. Oh, I can just pretend that I am human for a few days. “Lycan King Logan, thank you so much for coming,” Lycan Elman said. “Thank you so much for allowing me to join you and your family in this joyous moment,” Logan said to him. “This must be your mate,” the old man said looking at me. “My name is Emma, Sir,” I said, and he nodded. “It is nice to meet you Emma Sir,” he said, and I looked at him confused. “No, my name is Emma. When I said Sir I was trying to be
