Max's heart pounded in his chest as the strange man began to approach him and Lily. He could feel his breaths coming in short gasps as the man's menacing figure drew closer and closer. Instinctively, he pushed Lily gently behind him, trying to shield her from the danger that lay ahead.

"Run," he whispered hoarsely to her, his voice trembling with fear and desperation. "Run into the woods and hide. I'll come find you. Don't come out until I do."

But Lily refused to budge. "I won't leave you," she said, her voice shaking with terror. "I can't. I won't."

“Just go Lily, I promise I will be fine and I will come for you,” he screamed in a rush as the man was approaching.

“No Max, I am not going anywhere.” Lily said amidst panic, and stood firmly behind him, temporarily forgetting the pain and bleeding on her forehead.

Max knew that he couldn't protect both himself and Lily from the Lycan without shifting into his wolf form. He had to make a choice, and quickly; his secret or their safety. H

    Lucas jolted awake with a start, his body responding to an instinct he could not name. In the dimly lit room, he saw a dark figure looming over the bed, brandishing a sharp object. Without a second thought, he threw himself over Emma's body, shielding her from the attacker's vicious blow. The blade pierced his left shoulder with a sickening crunch, causing a scream of agony to escape from his lips.As the pain radiated through his body, Lucas instinctively used his wounded elbow to knock the intruder away. The man stumbled backwards, but quickly regained his footing. He lunged forward again, determined to finish what he had started. Lucas, fueled by a primal need to protect his lover, grappled with the man with all his might.“Wake up Emma!!” Lucas yelled, she was obviously a deep sleeper, especially after the affair that they had.Emma was jolted awake by the commotion, her heart racing as she saw the terrifying scene unfolding before her eyes. She turned on the bedside lamp immediat

    Emma sat at the head of the bed, her eyes heavy with fatigue, but her mind was racing with a million questions. She wrapped her arms around her legs and gazed at Lucas, who stood watch at the door, his back turned towards her. The room was dimly lit by the dying moonlight that seeped through the small window, casting a pale glow on their faces.Despite the warmth of the blankets around her, Emma shivered uncontrollably. The attack from the Lycan men had left her rattled, and Lucas put in a bad mood. Neither of them had been able to shake off the feeling of fear, anger and danger that still lingered in the air.Emma could tell that something was bothering aside from getting attacked by Lycans, he had come to get her from the underground tunnel after nearly thirty minutes and even though there were little to no scratches on his body, signifying that he won the fight, it felt like he lost. He had that look in his eyes, that of regret and sorrow, Emma couldn’t just understand what it was.

    Lucas's heart was still racing from the adrenaline as they arrived at the hospital. The group stepped out of the car and hurried inside, with Max waiting anxiously for them in the hallway."Max, what happened?" Emma asked, her voice laced with concern. Although Lucas had already informed them that Max and Lily got into an accident, she wanted to know the details.Max let out a deep sigh before answering, "We were on our way home right after dropping Samantha and Simon off when we got ambushed by a Lycan. He put an obstacle on the way that caused us an accident, and then he came out of nowhere and attacked us. I managed to fend him off, but Lily was wounded from the accident before it."Samantha's eyes widened with shock and fear. "Is Lily okay?" she asked, her voice shaking, as she slightly forgot about her anger with Lucas.Max nodded reassuringly, "She's fine. Just a little shaken up and a small bruise on her head. The doctors checked her out and said she's going to be okay."Emma b

    Lucas steps out of the hospital and takes a deep breath of fresh air. As he walks down the hallway and takes a few turns, he feels like he is being followed and intentionally heads towards an empty room. As he enters, he hears footsteps behind him and turns around to grab the person, only to realize it's Emma."Emma, what are you doing here? Were you spying on me?" Lucas asks, suspicion in his voice."Huh? Of course not. I… I wasn't spying on you," Emma replies, her voice soft and shaky. "I just wanted to talk to you.""Talk about what?" Lucas asks, trying to hide the confusion in his voice. “Last night?” he added immediately as it crossed his thoughts; of course he didn’t want to talk of last night, not the first or second activity.“Yes and no.” Emma shifted her weight from one foot to the other, her eyes avoiding his. "Last night. But not...not about what happened between us," she stammered, her cheeks flushing as she remembered having his lips explore all parts of her body.Lucas

    Lucas is driving on the way back, his thoughts clouded with the recent events. Samantha breaks the silence, asking about their next plan. "What's our next plan?" she asks, her voice flat. Lucas's grip on the steering wheel tightens as he considers his answer. "We need to make sure we're all safe," he says. "The best way to do that is by staying together. So I think we should all move into the Argent mansion."Samantha's reaction to his words is a cold, distant sigh. She looks out the window, refusing to meet his gaze. Simon, who had been quiet in the backseat, speaks up. "What about Max? He's living with his parents, he can't just move out easily."Lucas considers this for a moment before responding. "We'll figure that out later," he says. "Right now, we need to focus on keeping each other safe."Samantha still looks disapprovingly out the window, and Lucas can feel the tension between them. He wonders if he made the right decision, but he knows deep down that even with his own darkn

    Samantha lay on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. The room was silent, save for the soft rustling of the curtains in the gentle breeze that drifted in from the open window. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been plaguing her since the meeting earlier that day. Suddenly, she heard footsteps walking past in the hallway. Samantha sat up, her heart racing with anticipation. She slowly crept towards the door and peered out into the hallway. It was Lucas, walking towards Emma's room. She watched as he stopped in front of Emma's door and knocked softly. After a moment's pause, Emma opened the door and Lucas slipped inside.Samantha's heart sank, and she closed the door quietly, retreating back into her own room. She knew she shouldn't be jealous, but she couldn't help the way she felt. She wondered if moving into the Argent mansion was a mistake. Was it worth it to be close to Lucas, only to watch him fall in love with someone else?As she lay back down on her bed, Sam

    As they walked out to the fields, Emma felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She had never held a gun before and didn't know what to expect, but Lucas had a calming presence that put her at ease."Okay, so the first thing you want to do is make sure you have a good stance," Lucas said, standing behind her and guiding her arms into position. "Feet shoulder-width apart, and make sure your dominant foot is slightly behind the other one."Emma adjusted her stance as he instructed, holding the gun firmly in her hands. She aimed at the tree, her heart racing with anticipation."Now, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly as you squeeze the trigger," Lucas said, his voice calm and reassuring.She did as he said, and the gun went off with a loud bang. She missed the tree by a mile."Okay, not bad for a first try," Lucas said, standing beside her now. "But let's try again, this time, try to keep both eyes open, and focus on the front sight."Emma nodded, feeling a bit more confident now

The wolf runs towards the back of the cabin, and Emma watches him disappear from view.Emma walks up to the front door and pushes it open. She really wasn’t expecting it to open but it did. She wondered why he left the cabin unprotected; what if a rogue or an enemy finds it. Perhaps he had nothing that they could steal, or maybe he just didn’t care about invaders.As Emma stepped into the cabin, she was hit by the sweet smell of cedar and pine that mixed with the scent of Lucas's aftershave. Her eyes scanned the dimly lit room, and as she walked towards the sitting room, she's taken aback to see Lucas in the sitting room, pulling up his pants, while still bare chested.

    Lucas walked ahead of her, with a cold expression on his face. Emma tried to catch his eye, but he avoided her gaze.The sitting room was filled with unfamiliar faces. Emma felt like she was in a crowded party, where she didn't know anyone, like a stranger in her own house. She stood by Lucas's side, feeling out of place. Suddenly, she spotted a man who looked just like Lucas. They had the same dark hair and strong jawline. Emma knew without a doubt that he was Luke, Lucas's twin brother.As if sensing her thoughts, Lucas walked towards Luke, and they both stared each other down for a moment. Emma could feel the tension in the air, and it made her feel uneasy. Lucas muttered the word "Brother," and Luke smirked and responded, "Lucas."The room was silent, and she felt everyone's eyes on her. She tried to smile and look friendly, but her nervousness betrayed her.Samantha and Max were in the room too, and Emma was relieved to see their familiar faces. Max gave her a warm smile, and she

    Lucas and Emma were lying on the bed, their bodies entwined and their breathing finally slowing down. Emma traced invisible patterns on Lucas's chest with her fingers, enjoying the peaceful moment they shared. She couldn’t help but smile to herself as she thought of the experience she just had, she was almost tempted to ask how Lucas was this good with the art of sexual pleasure but she knew better than to ask that question.Lucas on the other hand was quiet, staring at the wall facing them, he seemed a bit worried but Emma didn’t happen to notice, she was lost in the reminisce of the just ended beautiful moment.Suddenly, Lucas's senses spiked, and he jerked up, his eyes alert. Emma was confused by his sudden change in demeanor and asked him, "What's wrong?"Lucas listened intently and then he heard it too - a knock on the door. “Stay here,” he said bluntly.Emma nodded, not like she planned to walk out like this. She watched as he got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom,

    Lucas couldn't resist the urge to have her in his arms, so he lifted her out of the water, their lips still locked in a passionate kiss, with her legs wrapped around his waist and her boobs just under his jaw. He carried her out to dry land and paused for a while without breaking the kiss, the air hot with tension, and then he proceeded through the trees to the bedroom in the cabin.Arriving in the bedroom, he gently laid her down on the bed and laid beside her. The air was thick with desire, as the two lovers gazed into each other's eyes. There was a little silence between them as Emma felt those heavy blue eyes gazing into her soul, she shivered with longing.As they lay on the bed, Lucas trailed his fingers down Emma's curves, making her shiver with anticipation. He leaned in to kiss her again, but this time slower and deeper, exploring her mouth with his tongue. Emma moaned softly, her body responding to his touch. She had not felt this way with any man before; the way he was able
