Emma’s pov
“She did what?” Julianna asked. I could tell that she was already fuming at the thought of me “seducing” Justin. She is his mistress, that’s if you even want to call it that really. His wife knows and like I said she is just as hopeless as us. But I still can’t believe that she betrayed my trust like that. I saw it in her eyes, she didn’t care what would happen to me. My eyes landed around the place, and everyone was looking at me with disgust in their eyes. “Yes, she tried to seduce and came to my room,” Justin said, and I looked at his wife. She was looking down; I could deny everything but what’s the point. “You bitch, we gave you shelter and now you try to do this? Do you think that you are at our level. How dare you try to seduce the beta on this pack?” Jennifer asked me. I looked at her and then at everyone before smiling. They have always seen how Justin behaves around me. He has always been inappropriate with his words and actions. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Alpha Hendricks asked. “What is there to say? It doesn’t matter what I say does it? I will still be blamed for something I didn’t do,” I said and closed my eyes. I am in pain; I don’t know what he did, but it weakened my wolf, and I am not healing well. “I think we have been nice to her, she would get a severe punishment for this sin,” Julia said. Everyone around the room nodded and I just looked down. “How about you go outside the pack territory, if you want to be fucked so badly then we should let you,” Julianna suggested. “That’s actually perfect, all those rouges will have the time of their life with her,” her twin Julia added with a smirk. The thought of me suffering and being in pain gives them pleasure from the looks of it. “Unless she apologizes,” Justin said and then walked down the stairs and looked down at me. “Apologize, I want you to apologize for being a disgusting person and trying to seduce me. Apologize for being a hoe,” he said, and I looked up at him. They have taken everything away from me. And this man, I know that he will try to do something again after this. I want to live I do, but at the same time, I really want to die. And in this very moment, I would welcome death with open arms. “I accept my punishment; how long should I be out of the pack territory?” I asked looking at them. I could see that they expected me to apologize. The usual punishment is one hour out of the pack territory and that’s it. Sometimes two hours if you are unlucky but most people make it out alive. They can stay next to the pack territory, where most rouges avoid this side. “Look at her Luna, she is cocky and won’t even apologize. I have an idea, let’s make it the whole night,” Julianna said. “What? The whole night? She won’t survive out there, she might be a bitch, but she is still very competent,” Jennifer said. “And the kids love her, if she dies what will happen to them?” Ashley asked. “Okay then, I will stay there the whole night,” I said and got up. I dusted off the fake dust before looking up at everyone. “I will stay out of the pack the whole night,” I said with my head held high. I don’t know why I am so confident because they weakened my wolf. If a rouge shows up then chances are they might kill me. There is no way I will be able to defend myself in the state I am in. I don’t even know how I got away from Justin, but I know luck doesn’t come twice. “You are eager, aren’t you? Looking forward to getting fucked by rouges? You were one so I would be surprised but let’s sweeten the deal,” Justin said. I could tell that if there weren’t any other people in the room he would have killed me. “Let’s take her away from our pack border and closer to the Lycans order,” he said. The room went silent, and everyone was looking at each other. At our pack border then I might just come back alive and well. But outside the Lycans pack border then I will surely be killed within minutes. “Justin, that is a little too extreme, if we do that then she will die for sure,” Julia said. “Then let her, if she makes it alive then she won’t repeat her mistake,” Julianna answered her twin. “What is it Alpha?” Justin asked and I watched as Alpha Hendricks nodded. Sometimes I wonder who the actual Alpha is because Justin does as he pleases. “Well then, you and your wife can drive her there,” Alpha said and walked back to his room. “Let’s go,” Justin said as he was dragging me to his car and Ashley followed behind him. He pushed me into the car and Daisy also got in and I sat in the back. “You still have time you know, apologize and come back with me to my room,” Justin said. I didn’t answer and just looked out and watched the sky. It was a full moon, wolves, foxes and Lycans will be running around tonight. “No thank you Beta,” I answered, and he suddenly stopped the car. He got out and opened the door and dragged me out as well. “You are so eager to be fucked by rouges huh? Is it because you are one of them?” he asked me. I didn’t answer. “Justin please stop it, my plan didn’t work. You can find another girl,” Ashley said. I looked at her, I thought that she was hopeless, but I was wrong. “I want her, it’s her that I want,” Justin said staring at me. His eyes were beginning to change colour. “I want her,” he said sniffing my scent. “Let me save you if you are with me then you will never lack. I will give you all the luxuries of the world,” he said and tried to touch my face. I moved away, “I would rather die,” I said, and he nodded. “Well, your wish is my command,” he said and got into the car. I watched as he drove away and the moment he was gone I could feel it. All eyes were on me, I looked around to see what was happening. “Well, you must be here for us then,” a voice said, and I turned to find about 5 rouges walking towards me. I should just die; I should die here and now actually. I don’t think I can live a life like this. It doesn’t matter which life I choose; they both lead to a miserable life. Being a rouge is far worse than being in Alpha Hendrick’s pack. And on the other hand, that pack is also hell as well. I guess it is true what they say, in life we choose a level of discomfort we can handle and then call it happiness. I closed my eyes; my family was my only source of happiness. Now with them gone I have nothing to live for. Today I am okay with dying here, anyways the person I wanted to go to Utopia with Is dead. Our Utopia will be after death. That’s when I remembered the promise I made my parents before they took their last breath. I told them that I would find my brother and we would be reunited. My brother wasn’t so weak, so he could still be alive. I have to live for him no matter what. I took out the knife that I was hiding in my clothes and got ready to fight. “Look at that, a feisty red head, you look really cute with those freckles,” one of them said. “Plus, your green eyes in the moon light, I can’t wait to stare into them as I take you,” the other said and they started laughing like villains. I can’t believe that the world is full of men like this. Men who view women only as objects to fulfil their lust and desire. Men who would force themselves on women. Men used to be viewed as protectors, they were saviours and gentleman who treated women like Queens. But the only men left in this world are nothing but goons and monsters. “Touch one hair on her head, and I will kill you,” a voice suddenly said. I followed the direction in which the voice was coming from. “Or what?” the other rouge asked, and he was dropping dead in a second. “Or that,” the man answered as he walked towards us. His aura, this man’s aura was gentle and somewhat calm. His aura resembled that of the moon, I don’t even know how to describe it. “Are you okay ma’am?” he asked me as he walked towards me. Is he my saviour?I reached inside the bag I was holding and took out a dagger. I handed it to her, but she looked at it for a few seconds and then back at me. “Take it, if I try anything then you can stab me to your heart’s desire,” I said, and she took it. “What are you doing here? in the middle of the night?” she asked me as she sat down. “Camping,” I answered, and she looked at me. I could tell that she didn’t believe me, and she also still had her guard up. “Should we move closer to your pack? This is too close to the Lycans borders,” I said, and she looked around. “It will be safer here, a walk to my side of the pack at this time of the night wont be safe,” she said and then shrugged. “You don’t have to stay with me,” she added. “I want to,” I said, and she didn’t say anything after that but looked up. I looked at her, she was bruised and was bleeding. “Let me help you, you are injured,” I said and took out my emergency first aid kit. I was about to touch her, but she flinched which
Emma’s pov I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Wait, when did I fall asleep? “You are awake?” a voice behind me said. That’s when I noticed that I was resting my head on someone’s chest. I looked up and it was that stranger from last night. Hell, I thought he was handsome last night but now seeing him in the morning light I was sure. Wait, morning light? I looked around and it was morning. “What happened?” I asked trying to get my head off his chest. I tried but my head still felt a little heavy, so I just fell back on his chest. “You fainted last night, and have been sleeping all night,” he explained. I looked around and I couldn’t believe any of this. I understand that I fainted. I went through a lot yesterday and I was honestly tired. First, it was whatever Ashley gave me and I also fell down the stairs. It took all in me to fight off Justin and it explains why I was tired. But it doesn’t explain how I trusted this stranger and slept in his arms. I looked a
Logan’s pov “What happened?” Charles asked me and I sighed. “She was from Hendricks pack,” I explained, and he nodded. “I mean usually you ask us to fend off the rouges without his pack members seeing us. But now you just spent the night with her,” he added, and I sighed. “It was nothing okay, I was about to come back but something about her was different,” I tried to explain, and he nodded. “I saw, she had beautiful eyes,” he said, and I rolled my eyes at this. “She seemed to be more fragile and scared. Like she had been tortured somehow,” I tried to explain, and he nodded. “I will believe you, but why was she on this side? Doesn’t he usually let them stay near his border?” Charles asked and I just frowned. “That is a good question, I have to do something about this,” I said, and he smiled. “Did you say you don’t want to involve yourself in werewolf matters?” Charles asked me. I always say that but this time it is different for some reason. Watching her walk off I couldn’
Emma’s pov “They are calling for you,” Mama Joyce said, and I looked at the time. It was about 9 in the morning, I just came back a few hours ago. I almost died and yet they are calling me here again, what do they want? I tied my hair back and then prepared myself for whatever emotional torture they had for me. I tried to take my time getting there but was also fast enough not to be too late. I got there and found everyone already eating their breakfast. “So, you are alive,” Julia said, and I didn’t answer. “How did you come out unscathed?” Alpha Hendricks asked me. “I guess I was lucky Alpha, the whole forest was weirdly empty last night,” I answered. “That is not possible, when I dropped you off I caught scents of about 4 rouges around that area. And also, a stench of a Lycan,” Justin said, and I just shrugged. “Well, I didn’t catch a scent. Oh sorry, for some reason my wolf was gone,” I said and then looked at Justin. “Just don’t do it again, please prepare my tea the w
Emma’s pov “I guess you are being punished yet again,” Alicia said, and I nodded. “I don’t understand, they made you go out in the middle of the night. Wasn’t that punishment enough?” Rachel asked. “It is alright kiddo, just go and get some rest. You have to go to school tomorrow,” I said, and she nodded. They walked away and I was left to work all on my own. “Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?” Justin asked suddenly standing at the corner of the kitchen. “What do you mean Beta?” I asked him and he frowned. “You are still working even now; you must be some kind of freak aren’t you?” he asked me. “What is this about?” I asked him again. “That day, I made sure that I had weakened you, but you still fought back. You fell on the stairs without a wolf and yet all the bruises are gone. How is this even possible?” he asked me. I have the same question; I want to know where I suddenly got this new wave of energy. “The bruises weren’t that deep. And maybe my skin just neede
Emma’s pov“You said it yourself, he is my monster,” she said which made me turn to look at her. “I know him better than anyone. If you don’t give him what he wants then he will just take it,” she said and then smiled. “You and I are not so different; we are prisoners of fate. And unfortunately, both of our fates are at the hands of that monster,” she added. She then took off the coat I gave to her and handed it to me. “I am not like you. I am not kind, and I won’t bear torture on someone’s behalf. I will do what he tells me to do, that is how I will save myself from that monster,” she added. I smiled at this and nodded. “Then you don’t have the right to call him a monster since you are one yourself,” I retorted and then I took the coat. “Fine then, if protecting myself makes me a monster then I will do so. I was like you once, when I first came here I wanted to protect everyone but not anymore. Even your Luna was like that when she first came but they broke her. Soon he will
Emma’s pov “Wait, are you saying that the man was a Lycan?” I asked them and they nodded. “We think so, it was the only time you had contact with a person outside our pack,” Doctor Brown said. “The mark on your back, it’s the Lycan’s imprint,” Mama Joyce said, and I shook my head. “That’s not possible, I know that one needs to have sex for the imprint to showcase itself,” I said and then paused. “And also, it’s between Lycans. I am not a Lycan, I am a werewolf,” I said, and they were all looking at me. “Then how do you explain your healing powers? Or where you got the stamina?” The Doctor asked me. “I don’t know, I don’t know,” I said and then looked at them. “No, but we just kissed. It was a kiss that didn’t even last a minute,” I said, and they just nodded. “Sometimes it just takes a second,” Mama Joyce said, and I shook my head at this. “Yes, a long time ago I heard a rare kiss. A Lycan imprinted on a witch with just a kiss,” Mama Joyce added. There has to be some kind o
Logan’s pov “Is everything okay? You have been scratching your back a lot,” Charles said, and I just nodded. “I don’t know why, but it’s been a little painful,” I said, and Taylor looked at me. “Maybe something bit you,” Taylor said, and I frowned. “Yes, but let’s continue with the meeting,” I said but Charles’s attention was somewhere else. “Take off your shirt,” he said, and I looked at him confused. “Take off your shirt,” he repeated his words. Taylor smiled at this, “I always suspected something like this,” she said and then chuckled. “What are you saying?” Charles asked and then rolled his eyes when he realized what she was implying. I took off my shirt anyway and I watched as he came behind. “OH shit,” he said, and I just looked at him confused. He was frozen in place and Taylor got up so she could see what he was so amazed by. “Well fuck,” she said as well the moment she saw my back. “What is going on?” I asked them and they all just looked at me and pointed at my
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
Logan’s pov They didn’t only ruin the trust she has in other people but also her relationship with food. I see it, every time when she sees food in front of her she has this weight on her shoulder. What did they do to her there? Did they starve her? Food is meant to make people happy; it is meant to be shared with loved ones. Food is for our taste buds to enjoy. I looked at her and she seemed to be having the time of her life eating the cake. She has a sweet tooth, doesn’t she? “Oh, I am so full right now. I don’t remember the last time I had such a great meal,” she said. She had this smile on her face as she said this. “Well, want to go on a walk to walk it off?” I asked her and she smiled. “I would love that,” she answered and then looked at me. “Let me pay the check,” I said and just like that the waitress came back and I made my payments. “Ma’am, Sir, this is our gift to you,” she said and then handed us a box of chocolates and, then a picture. “But you only said th
Emma’s pov “Come on, let's stop and eat something,” Logan said, and I nodded. We got seated at the restaurant and the waitress came to us. “Hello Sir and Ma’am, you look so good together,” she said with a smile. “Thank you,” Logan said, and I watched as she wanted to say something but seemed hesitant. “We have an offer, can you take a photo of yourself, and you will get free flowers and also a couple’s dessert for free,” she said. “Yes, why not?” Logan asked and then looked at me. “Is it okay with you ma’am?” the waitress asked, and I nodded as well. She took our order and then went to take the camera and then came back. “Please stand here, the lighting is good here,” she said, and we did as she said. “Stand closer to one another, and sir put a hand around her,” she said. I watched as Logan looked at me, he seemed like he was trying to figure something out. He put his hand around my waist, but it didn’t even touch me at all. He then put my hand on my own waist and put his
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
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
