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 “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
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 “Welcome to our pack,” an older man said as he welcomed us. He is an Alpha judging from his aura. “I am Alpha Mantis,” he said, and then his eyes landed on me. He held out his hand and as I was about to shake it Logan held my hand. “Don’t let them shake your hands,” he said and then looked at the Alpha. “You ask for a meeting with us and yet refuse to shake hands. What kind of behavior is this Lycan?” an older woman asked as she was walking in. “Forgive me Elder Mantis, but the last time we met I didn’t exactly receive good news from you,” Logan said, and the old woman smiled. “I don’t need to touch your hand to tell you what kind of fate awaits you two,” she said and then looked at me. “When that mark disappears, make sure you get as far away from him as possible,” she said to me. I looked at Logan who didn’t seem surprised that she knew my mark would disappear. “We are not here to stay,” Logan said, and I started looking around. “Can we stay for a day?” I asked
Logan’s pov What are you thinking Logan, what will you do after hearing her moans? I am already having a hard time here and every bone in my body wants. I should just put her down and put some distance between us. I looked at her and she had this cute blush on her face. “Yes, I don’t mind you hearing them again,” she said with a smile. Oh shit, I am fucked, aren’t I? “But it was because of you, I don’t know what I should do,” she said, and I smiled looking at her. “Let’s sit down first and I will help you,” I said, and she nodded. I sat down and watched as bit her lower lip. “Do you remember what you were doing that night? The night you had the sex dream?” I asked her and she nodded. “Do that again,” I said, and she nodded and looked at me. She started grinding against me and then looked at me with a smile. “Like this?” she asked me, and I found myself smiling as I nodded. She has no idea how crazy she is driving me with all of this. I just watched as she was moaning an
Emma’s pov “So, you want revenge huh?” Taylor asked me and I nodded. “Not revenge, but I would say justice. I watched them kill innocent people more times than I can count. I was always so hopeless then,” I said and just shrugged. “But you are not hopeless anymore. You have us now and we will help you through all of this,” Charles said, and I smiled. “Thank you,” I said and then looked at Logan. “First things first, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. There is a family I know for certain doesn’t like Hendricks at all,” he said. “So, how will we meet these people? It’s not like they will open their home to us so we can talk to them,” I said, and he smiled. “They actually have opened their home to us,” Logan said, and I frowned. “It’s not a trap? I have never heard of werewolves opening the gates of their pack to Lycans,” I said, and he just shrugged. “These people are different, the Mantis family,” he said, and I looked at him. “Wait a second, did you just say that the Mant
Logan’s pov “She still won’t eat huh?” I asked Addison who nodded. We all tried to get her to eat for days but she hasn’t even moved. All she does is shower and then go back to sleep. She has been sleeping nonstop and the Doctor said that she is depressed. Honestly, I don’t know what to do to help her. “You should try again,” Taylor said, and I nodded. I walked to the room and found her sitting there and looking outside. “You need to eat Emma,” I said, and she looked at me. “I am not hungry,” she said, and I frowned. “It’s been 5 days, fine, then don’t do it for you. But eat for the sake of the rest of us,” I said, and she looked at me confused. “How can we eat when you haven’t, all everyone does during mealtime is play around with their food,” I said. “Why isn’t everyone eating? Tell them to eat and not to think about me, I will be fine,” she said and then looked outside again. “What happened to her was wrong, very wrong but starving yourself won’t fix it,” I said, and s
Emma’s pov “Hello, I am Rachel,” a little girl said, and I turned to look at her. She is probably 14 or 13 years old. “Why are you here kid?” Aria asked her and she just shrugged. “My parents were killed in a rouge attack and my entire pack was taken out. I somehow survived and I was brought to this pack,” she said with a massive smile. “Your parents died; how can you be so cheerful?” Aria asked and the girl just smiled. “My mother always told me to be kind and happy. That you attract what you are, happy people attract happiness and kindness towards them,” she explained. “Not in this place, this place is like a black hole,” Aria said, and Rachel looked at me confused. “They are so heavy that they absorb everything, including light into their center,” I explained but then realized my mistake. “You will be just fine,” I said, and she nodded. We all then went about our day and came back later like always. “So how was your day sunshine?” Aria asked her. “It was okay, there was
Logan’s pov “I saw it, you care about her,” Addison said, and I frowned. “She is my mate, of course, I care about her,” I said, and she just rolled her eyes. “I am giving up on you, I have decided that I don’t want you anymore,” she informed me. “Uhm, thank you?” I said and she smiled. “Won’t your parents kill you? They almost killed Taylor when she told them that she didn’t want to marry me,” I said, and she just shrugged. “I am strong and stubborn like Taylor. I can handle it,” she answered. “I know, good luck with whatever you choose to do,” I said, and she frowned. “Oh no, I will be staying here for some time. My parents are going to kill me when they find out,” she said, and I smiled. “Do you expect me to go and sleep under their roof? They might just smother me alive,” she added. “I could see them doing that,” I said and watched as she smiled. “Emma is an amazing girl. I hope you won’t let the past affect whatever future you will have with her. Mark her as soon as pos
Emma’s pov He came out later in the morning. “I am sorry, I made you uncomfortable,” I said, and he looked at me confused. “What? No, that’s not what happened. How do I explain it?” he asked me. “I know you are nice, and you are probably doing this just to spare my feelings. But I am sorry that I put you in a position where you were uncomfortable. I feel terrible about it,” I said, and he sighed. “Just let me explain,” he said but couldn’t find the words. “It wasn’t you, it had everything to do with me,” he said, and I nodded. “I am all packed, we should say goodbye and leave,” I said, and he nodded. As he was packing I got time and showered quickly. “Are you sure that you don’t want to stay for breakfast?” Grace asked us. “Yes, we are sure. I have some urgent work to tend to when I get there,” Logan said. “I heard about your quest, I hope you have all the luck in the world,” Lucas said to Logan. “Thank you, please stay well say bye to the kids for me,” I said, and Grace n
Emma’s pov I looked at him. “Why aren’t you answering me?” I asked him. “Because you are drunk, you had wine which I must have guessed was your first time, and not let you drink it so much,” he said. “Fine, don’t answer my question,” I said and looked away. “What do you feel like doing?” he asked me, and I smiled at this. “What I wanted to do at the beach yesterday and today. What I have been waiting to do for days now,” I said. “And what is that?” he asked me, and I wrapped my hands around his neck. “I want to kiss you,” I said, and he sighed. If you told me that I would initiate any kind of intimacy with a guy then I would have probably laughed at your face. Actually, I wouldn’t even believe a word of that. A man, intimacy with one wasn’t something I even thought of it. But him, I want him to hold my hand and kiss me. I want to sleep next to him, I want him to hold me as tight as he can. “Emma, what about you ask to do all this tomorrow? When you are sober and I know t
Logan’s pov “I helped at my old pack’s clinic,” she answered. “Thank you so much, I don’t know what I would have done without your help,” Lucas said with a smile. He walked back in, and Emma smiled as she walked off. She got in the shower and the clothes she was wearing were taken away. She came out of the shower and seemed happy. “You look happy,” I said, and she just shrugged. “Of course, I am, why wouldn’t I be?” she asked me and then giggled. “You should have seen how cute those babies were,” she said. “I am really proud of you,” I said. “Come on, let’s go and see the babies,” she said. Grace was moved into a different room since they were cleaning that one. We got there and found Lucas holding one baby while Grace was holding the other. “Hello, come and meet Emily and Brandon,” Lucas said. “Hey, those names sound a lot like Emma and Logan,” I said, and they smiled as they looked at each other. “Oh, you tried to name them after us,” I said. “Do you mind, can I hold
