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
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 “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“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 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 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 “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 “What do we have here?” the Beta scumbag asked as he looked at Emma. I want to rip his eyes out and feed them to him. He is still looking at her like she is a piece of meat. “You look amazing Emma,” he said with a smirk. He then looked at me and then frowned. “You think that he will be with you for a long time? You are just his flavor of the month; ask him how many women he has been with?” the Beta said with a smirk. I looked at Emma who was frozen in place and I could feel that she was scared of them. They scarred her, even their presence scares her even though I am right next to her. I watched how she then just smiled as she held my hand. “Well, at least he had their consent. Unlike you, you force yourself on those who are weaker than you. I would rather be his flavor of the month than have anything to do with scum like you,” she said and then looked at the woman. “How does it feel Ashley, sleeping with him knowing the kind of person he is? How do you sleep at
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
