EMMA All I heard were their snickers, and I really wanted to punch them both in the face. So much for them worrying about my damn safety. If this guy even sneezed on me then I would most likely break into a million little pieces. Who would suck their cocks then? Macario brought Quentin over who observed me closely. His seafoam eyes had swirls of black in them, and they were very striking. I had never seen that color before. It almost made him approachable and not like he was about to murder me. However, that verdict was still out. “This is Emma, Zane’s daughter. Emma, this is Quentin, your physical trainer. He is well versed in a particular magic style that I think may benefit you,” he said with a sly smile. He was enjoying this a little too much. I could not show weakness and fleeing from the room would show just that. This guy was like the size of three Lyles. He would not kill me right? Surely, that would not look good if he just accidently offed me. “Hello, Emma. You can call
EMMA Both of my mates held me to them, and I felt safe. My breathing was evening out, and the pain in my body had left. My hand already healed, but Xander placed a kiss to where Kai had to bite it. Knowing now what the shadow was, and what it did, made me far more concerned about the situation than when I was ignorant about it. The Nokaura were no joke. They thrived in chaos and pain. They enjoyed filleting their enemies, and they did that to me more times than I could remember at the moment. The seven times that I fell in battle was because of them. I was certainly not looking forward to those memories coming back. What we saw them do in those dreams was child’s play compared to what they truly enjoyed doing with their enemies, and everyone was their enemy. That was why Selene needed to be taken out of the equation. She was aiding them and making them stronger. “When I was thirteen, Heath and Ezekiel began regularly dosing me with an unknown black substance. Were you there the day
EMMA “As you wish,” he said, smirking. He angled me down and thrusted into me. He filled me in the best way. The initial thrust always felt like it did the first time. It always felt like he squeezed into me, and it felt amazing. I moaned as he thrusted in harder and faster, setting a delicious pace. I needed them more than I needed the air around me. Xander captured my mouth, dominating it. His minty taste had me moaning. His teeth nipped down my neck and to my breasts. I knew there would be marks tomorrow, but I would wear them proudly. I would take anything they gave me and be delighted. His hands caressed my skin, teasing every inch he touched. The only sounds in the room were the water cascading against us, Kai thrusting into me with our skin slapping, and the sounds of pleasure from the three of us. Their names flew from my lips along with incoherent praises. I was close, and they could both feel that. Kai picked up his pace, thrusting deeper if it were even possible. He h
EMMA I woke up to the most amazing sight – both of my mates. They were gazing at me with smiles on their faces. I would never be able to get over having them both here with me. Do not get me wrong. I was incredibly grateful to have Kai in any form that I could. However, having him here alongside Xander instead of them sharing control was something I would never take for granted. “Do I have something on my face?” I joked. They both littered my face with kisses. Nobody would believe that my Alphas were that way, but it was true. Only with me, but that was okay. I got to see a side of them that they showed to nobody else. It showed me how truly blessed I was. “Now you do,” they both said in unison. They smirked and hopped up from the bed. Kai decided that it was his turn to pick out my outfit because Xander did yesterday. This could go very badly. Thankfully, it did not. He chose a cute spaghetti strap sun dress that had an open back. I was curious to see how the scars were doing. Xa
ZANE Having Emmaline back in my life had been the most incredible thing. It was nearly impossible to let her go as a newborn, but there was no other option. Selene would have killed her immediately if she had known about her. I watched from the shadows as she was raised a Gaisreen. I had contacts who were able to keep an eye on her. Barachiel was the perfect teacher for her. He made her strong and unbreakable. To become Commander at the mere age of sixteen was the highest honor there was. She had always been strong and resilient. Then I got nine years with her in Blacktree before I had to leave. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do because I knew she would have to face uncertain horrors, and I could not watch out for her. Leonidas followed me into the office and sat at the desk. He was impressed with Emmaline just like everyone else. Her magic was very strong and had untapped potential. However, she also had a strong personality and did not waver in the face of uncertainty. T
KAI Xander and I were waiting for Doll to return. She took it upon herself to attempt negotiating with Zane about bringing the pack here. It had been her idea, and we were absolutely on board with it. All of us were worried about the pack even if no time had really passed there. It did not matter because those were our people. The two of us also saw this situation for the other factor that Doll would never voice. These were her people here even if she did not know them. That was why this negotiation needed to work. Xander was groomed from birth to one day take over the pack as Alpha. I was also groomed to take over once I entered the picture. The wolf counterparts were also taught how to rule over a pack. Protecting our pack was instinctual, but it required navigating politics as well. That part was not instinctual for us. Xander and I had always worked very well together though since we merged seamlessly from the moment I was awakened. Dad, as he insisted that I called him as well
EMMA “How about we go exploring a bit? I would love to see the gardens again.” I asked my boys. They agreed, so we got up from the floor. I certainly felt better after talking to them. I knew that I could not do this without them because they were the only thing keeping me from having a nervous breakdown right about now. They always gave me clarity and strength regardless of the problem. They were the absolutely best mates I could have ever been paired with. They were my entire completion. This kingdom was new to us all, so I would love to explore it in its entirety one day. Perhaps Papa could give us a tour soon. It looked like something from a picture book, so it made me insanely curious. I never imagined seeing such sights, and I was eager to begin learning about the inhabitants. My love of learning would aid me so much here. All of us were equally amazed by it all. “Luce.” It popped up bright and happy. I loved this orb and had become quite fond of it already. “Hello, Princess
EMMA That was fifty steps above what not to say. My anger burst out of me as I lunged at him. My wolf-form shifted mid-air. The spike of fear in Kestian’s eyes was rightfully earned. He tried to mask it, but I knew him all too well. I knew every single tell and weakness he had. He knew none of mine though because I never wanted him to. I had always been the master of controlling my emotions and reactions. It was not Blacktree that taught it to me. It was my time as a Gaisreen. Part of training was learning to withstand torture of all kinds and degrees. I had also been tortured by the Nokaura more times than I ever wanted to think about. They had no qualms about fileting skin from someone’s body. As such, I became the master at this. Kestian was puppy chow or about to be. He was about to learn to keep his damn mouth shut. I warned him more than once. The only thing that ever got through his thick skull was pain. I would make him hurt so much right now that he would learn not to fuck
