That night, Emily made her way to the wolf that had been waiting outside. Purposefully, she left her book in her room - what use was it to communicate with a creature that could not speak? She spent time with the wolf and returned to her room when it was getting really late. During the day, she would spend time with her friends, and at night, with the wolf.One Friday afternoon in the common room, Lois asked Nani, "Time is really passing, Nani. Will Garrett still not accept Emily as his mate?""Easy, people should not hear you," Nani cautioned Lois, who was past caring about being overheard."If it will help, I don't mind telling the whole pack," Lois replied."Easy, dear. But how do you think Emily will react to this? We have been concerned about Garrett, but what about Emily?" Nani wondered."I don't know how she will take the news, but she should be told," Lois said."Let's give her some time," Nani concluded."By giving her time, we are equally giving Garrett time. He could reject
In a fit of rage, Garrett shoved Davies aside and stormed out of his office, determined to find his mate. He couldn't rely on anyone else to do what needed to be done, and would not let his mate run away from him again. In his mind, Davies was useless and he vowed to make Lois pay for her interference, convinced that she had deliberately obstructed his pursuit of EmilyAs he made his way through the pack house, he came across Nani, but he didn't even acknowledge her when she tried to talk to him. Consumed by his anger, he followed Emily's scent to the common room where he saw her sitting in a corner. The usual chatter of the pack members stopped as soon as they laid eyes on their furious king.Emily had nowhere to run, no escape from the intimidating presence of her mate. She watched in terror as he strode towards her, his eyes fixed on her trembling figure. Before she could even comprehend what was happening, Garrett leaned down and sank his teeth into her right neck.Emily screame
Emily's eyes widened at the news of the Alpha's impending arrival. What could he possibly want from her? Was he coming to verify that she was still breathing, or perhaps to finish what he started? Anxious thoughts raced through her mind as she considered whether she should pretend to be asleep. She glanced over at Lois, who appeared calm and collected. However, Emily knew that it was she who the Alpha was after."Can't you stop him?" Emily pleaded with Lois."I can't," Lois replied with a shake of her head. "I'm already in trouble with the Alpha. I don't need more.""But you're my doctor!" Emily protested."And he's my Alpha," Lois retorted firmly.As the door opened, Emily held her breath, watching as the Alpha walked in. She noticed Davies standing beside him, with Nani rushing in from behind. Before she could react, Nani enveloped her in a tight embrace. Emily was taken aback by the gesture, no one had ever hugged her so tightly before. Her vision began to blur and turn white, bu
Lois was on the verge of losing her mind, as she struggled to get Emily to breathe. Despite her medical training, nothing was working, and Emily's complexion had turned an alarming shade of white. Lois called out to Davies and Garrett, imploring them to hurry.The door flew open and the two men rushed in. Lois ran to Davies for support, while Garrett immediately went to Emily's side. He took hold of her face, her eyes wide and shaking uncontrollably. Garrett didn't know what to do; he looked to Lois for guidance, but she was inconsolable in Davies' arms. So, he did the only thing he could think of - he kissed Emily hard on the lips.Emily tried to push him away, but Garrett's grip was too strong. Her body went limp, and the shaking stopped. When Garrett pulled away, Emily gasped for air and took a deep breath. He kissed her again, feeling her heartbeat return to normal. Emily kissed him back, her tears falling onto his face. She finally fell asleep in Garrett's arms, holding tightly
The next day, Emily just finished eating breakfast after coming back from the gym, they spent some time as they don’t want to come back to the room and stay there doing nothing. Lois was packing the room her food forgotten on the table, Emily was watching her, Lois must be troubled, worried about her? She knew she didn’t sleep well last night, it was nobody’s fault but hers.Lois finally rounded up at her “You need to stand up for yourself” Lois told Emily, Emily wondered what Lois was talking about“What do you mean?” Emily asked her with her note“Tell the Alpha what you want, tell him you don’t want to be locked in this room for ever, tell him what you desire”Emily stared at Lois, has she lost her mind? Telling Emily to ask the Alpha for freedom, she can’t even speak and she was terrified of the Alpha, is Lois throwing her to the Lion’s den? She quickly shook her head in a no.“For how long will you stay here doing nothing? You need to speak up for yourself Emily, you are his mat
Lois guided Emily back to her room, which appeared to be exactly how she had left it, except for her small closet that was left ajar with its contents strewn about carelessly - clearly the handiwork of Lois. Emily couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for her old room. She reached out to touch her books and gazed longingly out of the window."I'm sorry, I messed up here," Lois admitted as they both set to work tidying up the disheveled closet. After completing the task, they both sat down on the bed, and Lois turned to Emily, urging her to explain what had happened earlier."There's nothing much to say," Emily responded dismissively."Are you kidding me? I heard Garrett growling in anger. You must have said something to provoke him," Lois countered."He was angry with me?" Emily inquired in surprise."Yes, I mean no - not in the way you're thinking. He was angry that he had to comply with your request, as if he felt slighted in some way," Lois explained."But I didn't cheat him,
Nani told Emily that Garrett was only 16 years of age when he became the Alpha king, carrying a burden of a pack, and overseeing the whole packs at that little age. Emily felt pity for the young boy, Nani went on with her story, of how Garrettt became so hard and bitter to everybody but he could act and pretend to care when the pack members were around.Nani now held Emily’s hands in hers “Emily, promise me one thing”Emily looked startled at that, what was she going to promise Nani? “Promise me, you will stand by him, love him no matter what, promise me you will never leave Garrett, as he is your mate”They both stared at each other “Child, I know Garrett might be scary, you might despise him for wanting to reject you, he is only doing that because he is unable to love, promise me you will teach him to love, tell me you will try with him”How was Emily going to promise such thing? Can she love him? Will he ever allow her to get that close to him? How can she teach such a great Alpha
Emily waited, she could hear her heartbeat and was sure he could hear it too. Garrett’s hands traced her eyebrows and it went back to the mark that stood out on her neck, a small tattoo was forming there in a shape of a wolf. He could see the outline slightly and he smirked at himself for doing that to her and Emily trembled under him. He pulled back from her a little to look at her well, she looked down and he finally pulled away from her, he was not going to lose his guards with her. No that would be a big mistake if he should lose his guard with her. Emily was able to breath out and calm her racing heart. She looked at him as he walked to the door, why on earth and how did she forgot to lock her door.“If you are going to be senseless leaving your door opened when you have your bath, I will have a guard stationed at your door again” and with that he left the room.Emily rushed to shut her door, what just happened here? Did the Alpha just seduced her? Was that what seducing is?
"Alvin," Emily said. Garrett had picked the name weeks ago, and she felt it suited their son perfectly. "He certainly has a strong set of lungs," Lois laughed as baby Alvin stirred in his sleep and smacked his lips, showing his hunger. Lois reached out, picked him up, and handed him to Emily. "Feed him, please." Emily grinned at her son, whose eyes were now open and gazing at her. She knew he couldn't see her clearly yet. She kissed his forehead and prepared to breastfeed him. Lois left her alone, and a few minutes later, Garrett entered the room after Emily had finished breastfeeding Alvin. The baby was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and Emily smiled at Garrett, who looked immensely proud. "How are you feeling?" he asked, sitting beside her after hugging her and kissing his son on the head. "I'm great and happy," Emily replied. "I can see that." "How do you feel? I don't think there's a word that can truly explain how I feel right now," Emily said. "Well, I feel proud," he r
A heavily pregnant Emily made her way to the hospital where her friend was working. Lois was attending to a boy who had broken his leg while playing outside with his friends. Since he was not yet at an age where he could easily heal himself, Lois had to administer a painkiller to alleviate his discomfort and put him down to rest.Emily silently followed Lois as she headed to her office. Once there, Lois washed her hands and took her seat behind the desk. Emily cleared some books from the chair to make room for herself to sit."You really shouldn't be walking around in your condition," Lois finally broke the silence, though she refused to look up at Emily. She knew why Emily had come to her office—to nag her. Davies must have put her up to it. Lois shook her head, and Emily gave her an annoyed look."If I fall sick, it'll be your fault," Emily said."Blame Davies. I'll tell Garrett to direct his fury at him, not me. I've given you my answers, and you just have to come to terms with it.
Emily turned to look at Garrett, noticing his apparent anger. Was he jealous? She walked over to him and took his hand, smiling up at him as he looked down at her. He held her tightly, then glanced at Gabriel, who still had a smile on his face. Did the man ever stop smiling? He looked remarkably youthful for his age."Since we're all here, let's bring in Sapphire. Elena and Davies, if you would be so kind," Gabriel suggested.Davies bowed and left, followed by Elena, as they made their way to the cells to retrieve Sapphire. They would use the back door to avoid exposing her to the pack members."You're doing a splendid job here," Gabriel remarked, crossing his arms over his chest. It was surprising how well he had learned to behave like a normal human being, with all the shaking, moving, blinking, and smiling – one of his favorites."Thank you," Garrett replied curtly. Emily stepped on his foot, prompting him to look at her. She shook her head, then took a seat in Garrett's chair. Gab
The next day, when Emily awoke, she found herself alone in bed. Garrett must have let her sleep in. Glancing at the bedside clock, she discovered that it was nearly 10 in the morning. Letting out a yawn, she pulled the covers over her head, intending to catch a few more winks.However, the door swung open with a bang, and a group of lively ladies barged in. Emily's eyes widened as she spotted Elena, Lois, Fanny, and Catherine entering the room. Lois held a shopping bag in her hand, and they all wore mischievous grins as they lined up at the foot of the bed. Emily lowered the covers, curious to see what was going on."Rise and shine, sleeping beauty," Fanny announced with a wide smile."Let's freshen her up," Lois suggested, setting the bag down and taking a seat on the bed. "You should have a bath.""I can manage on my own," Emily protested.Lois arched an eyebrow playfully. "Feeling shy all of a sudden?" she teased. "Oh, come on, girl." She pulled the covers down and effortlessly lif
When Garrett entered the room, it was filled with his mate's comforting scent. He noticed how different his room looked now. The curtains were drawn back, allowing fresh air and sunlight to fill the space. Vases adorned the window and table, displaying beautiful flowers carefully chosen by Lois and Catherine. Lois, who had been standing by the bedside, approached Garrett and bowed before glancing back at the peacefully sleeping beauty."You'll need to feed her this every hour," Lois pointed to a covered cup, checking her wristwatch. "The next round should be in the next 25 minutes," she informed him. There was another piece of news she needed to share, but now wasn't the right time. Elena had confirmed her suspicions, and Lois couldn't believe it. She would need to conduct medical tests before informing Garrett. "I'll leave you two," she bowed her way out, closing the door behind her.Garrett took a quick shower and dressed in loose attire before returning to the room to feed his m
Garrett addressed the other Alphas in a similar manner, except for Alpha Anon. He held Alpha Anon's mate in custody and declared his Beta as the new Alpha, informing him that he would be given the opportunity to confront and defeat Alpha Anon when the time comes. Garrett wanted his mate to meet both Alphas before he dealt with them, as they played a significant role in her life, helping her understand the burdens of being born as an Omega.With the Alphas taken care of, Garrett made his way to the special cell where Sapphire was held. He was uncertain about what he should do with her. Upon reaching the cell, he found Elena already standing at the door, and she straightened up as he approached."Garrett," she greeted him."Elena, I would like to speak to her if you don't mind," Garrett said."Are you not going to pass judgment on her right away?" Elena asked."No," Garrett replied."Thank you. I will lift the spell that kept her mute and give you both some time to speak," Elena said
Garrett reached into his pocket and extracted two witch-like syringes, hoping they would work. He muttered the command for one to open, and it did. Without hesitation, he swiftly inserted it into Alpha Anon's hand. Observing as the Alpha's hand fell limp from his body, Garrett watched him collapse to the ground. "Nice one," he thought, hoping his men remembered to use the limited supply of syringes he had given them. He spotted one of his warriors and instructed him to securely tie Alpha Anon out of sight from the others and keep a watchful eye on him. Returning to the fight, he anxiously wondered if Elena and Lois had located his mate.Drake halted in his tracks when Sapphire came to a stop before him. He cursed at her, but his attention shifted when he realized they were not alone. "Sapphire," a voice called out."Elena," Sapphire greeted her sister."Where are you going? You're not fleeing, are you?" Elena inquired."Attack her!" Drake growled, abruptly dropping Emily to the grou
Lois was taken aback by Garrett's words, her eyes widened in surprise as she tried to process what he had just said. Garrett looked at her with a lot of questions, silently asking if she was alright. Lois nodded in response, indicating that she was fine. This revelation from Garrett had left her feeling excited and eager to see how he would express his love for Emily once they were reunited. She had noticed Garrett's protective behavior towards Emily at the pack house, particularly when Drake had gotten too close to her. Surely, that meant something, didn't it?Lois informed Garrett that she was going to check on Elena, who was still recovering from her ordeal. When she returned, she found Garrett sitting by the fire, trying their best to keep their location hidden while still being able to enjoy a meal. Lois sat down next to Garrett, and he turned to her, inquiring about Elena's well-being."How is she?" he asked, passing a plate of fish to Peter before turning his attention back t
At the break of dawn, the troop set out again in search, with Elena leading the way. They walked for hours across unfamiliar lands until they reached another pack. Garrett went ahead to speak to those on patrol. The head of the Skyhigh pack patrol approached Garrett and bowed."I expected your Alpha to be here," Garrett told him."The Alpha is currently unavailable, sir," the man replied.Garrett nodded. "My troop and I are on a quest, so we will pass through your lands and take the forest path. Will there be any problem with that?" he asked.The man bowed, not wanting to offend the Alpha king. "Not at all, sir. But some of my men will have to accompany you until you are out of our land, if you don't mind," he said."I don't," Garrett informed him. He turned away and walked back to his troops. Ten warriors from the Skyhigh pack joined them to guide them out of their lands and remain on high alert in case the strangers decided to attack.Garrett wasn't overly surprised that Alpha Lang
