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 “I am done with everything for the event, I will go now,” I said and bowed my head to them. “Wait, if you are going then who will handle everything for the event?” Alpha Hendricks asked me. “Well Alpha, Luna has made it clear that no omega is allowed to the party. Hence I won’t be there,” I said, and he looked at Jennifer. “Yes, don’t come at all. I have everything covered, I have hired people to take care of it,” she said to her husband who nodded. I then turned around and then left. The first thing I did was take a quick shower and then go to bed. I just laid there and read a book that I have been wanting to for weeks now. I have been so busy that I got time to breathe let alone be able to read. It feels good to finally have a day off. “Hey, can I sit with you here?” Rachel asked me and I nodded. “Are you okay?” I asked her and she just shook her head. “Not really, I just found out that Alicia has been promoted as well. She will be working with you in the Pack
Emma’s pov They betrayed me; they threw me under the bus for their own interests. I trusted them, the same way I sort of trusted Ashley, and they betrayed my trust. But why? What have I ever done to deserve such a life? I know, I know that in the world we live in no one is safe at all. I would never do this to someone so why is someone doing this to me? I watched as they were walking away leaving me with Justin. I looked around, where do I run to? I came here on my own and no one is going to believe me. The truth is, I don’t know what he has in store for me. And I don’t want to know, I would rather die than live like this. I would rather die than always live in fear of him. Even if I do, make it out unscathed, Alicia and Rachel were willing to betray me. How long will I be able to get away in a place like this? I looked at him, I really wanted to know why he was such a monster. His father is honestly the sweetest person I know and yet his son. Even Dr Brown fears his
Emma’s pov I looked at him and watched as he went from angry to vengeful. He slapped me the moment he realized what any of this meant. “You bitch,” he said and then pulled me by my hair. I knew where he was dragging me to at that moment. All I cared about was that I didn’t let this monster have me. My freedom had been taken, and I wasn’t going to let him take my innocence as well. “Stop the music,” he yelled the moment he got to the party. He tore the shirt I was wearing, thank the moon goddess that I was wearing a sports bra. The moment everyone noticed the marking on my back they all gasped. I heard angry murmurs and Justin went down to my level so he could look me in the eyes. “You will pay for this, I will make sure that you die for this betrayal,” he asked which made me scoff. “We are nothing to each other, how is this betrayal? I thought betrayal comes from those we love and care about,” I said and then chuckled. “As for you, I can’t stand you even for a second. I s
Logan’s pov “Is everything alright?” Charles asked me and I just couldn’t answer. How do I explain to him what is wrong when I don’t even know what is wrong? “I am okay,” I said, and Taylor shook her head. “You don’t look okay even a little,” she retorted. They both looked at me, how do I tell them that I just woke up with intense pain out of nowhere? How do I tell them that it just feels like something is wrong and I don’t know what? How do I say all that without sounding like a madman? “It’s nothing,” I said, and they both nodded. That’s when I felt it, another wave of pain out of nowhere. I just feel this despair which is nothing like me. I have almost everything I could want in life, yes I lost my parents at a young age. But I am the Lycan King for heaven's sake. So far I have been doing what I always do on a regular basis, but it just doesn’t feel right. “Oh my god, you won’t believe what I just heard,” Sam said walking in eyes on her phone. Sam is my younger siste
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
