"Mate." Andrew's wolf growled, as Andrew lay a sleepy Emily in between the sheets and tucked her in. Andrew froze in motion feeling like he'd been doused with a bucket of ice water."Mate." His wolf growled again, this time more loudly and stubbornly. Without warning, the need to protect and ensure that she was okay at all times increased rapidly.Swallowing, Andrew carefully retracted his hands from her and straightened his body. He stood like a statue for long minutes and stared at her, while his mind was in a frenzy.What in the whole fuck was that? He screamed into his head. What type of fuckery is this?Mate. His wolf repeated stubbornly.A thrill shot down his spine as his wolf growled repeatedly, Mate. Mate. Mate.Andrew swallowed and took two steps backwards with his eyes popped open.Despite his disbelief, his unusual attraction to Emily began to make sense. He took another step backwards, needing to escape the moment and clear his head. A mirage of emotions ranging from b
Before Emily woke up, Andrew made another call to Brown and asked him to find out about Samantha and Jacqueline. His senses told him that whoever was after Emily was trying to manipulate her into losing all hope. He was almost certain that they were safe, but did not want to raise her hopes then end up disappointing her. From the moment he'd spoken to Samantha on the phone, even without meeting her, he knew that she was a powerful woman and that she wouldn't be an easy catch. He suspected that she wasn't completely human, but he decided to waive that suspicion, his senses also told him that the person after Emily wasn't human too. All he needed to do was ask Brown about them, but he found himself unable to, as a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him every time he considered it. So he pushed it away.Andrew itched to go into the forest and visit the coven so he could conclude his search, then face Emily's problems before taking her back with him, but he'd promised that they would spend
"What's holding you back?" Shirley snapped.She and Caleb were standing at their meeting place.Caleb shrugged,"Mendez has not delivered what I requested, and Larry cannot proceed without it. The security in that pack house is crazy. Besides, didn't you tell me that he would die first?" He responded cockily.Shirley sneered,The buffoon was letting his new dominance blow up his ego. She'd heard from her spies what he'd been doing lately."You're supposed to use this opportunity to swipe power from him, since he's preoccupied with bringing Andrew back, but you're walking around bullying your people. The people you're to lead when you become Alpha."Caleb growled, his eyes switched to gold."I'm only letting them know who's in charge." He screamed. "Most of those fools saw me as nothing but now I'm the most dominant wolf.-"Shirley could feel what he was trying to do. He was trying to force her to submission with her false dominance. She scoffed, "Don't try that with me wolf. If you'r
As Andrew held Emily to his chest, he swore internally, wondering how Mendez got hold of his other number and why he was calling him when he'd specifically asked him to leave him alone.He stifled the angry growl making it's way out of his chest and concentrated calming Emily down. "We'll figure our way out of this," he murmured. Emily heaved,"I'm sorry I ruined the moment. The suddenness of…""Shhhhh," Andrew interrupted her,"You didn't ruin anything. It was already ruined the moment that damn phone rang out." Emily nodded into his chest, then yawned."Are you hungry again?" Andrew teased.Emily giggled, "I can believe I'm saying this but I cannot stand the sight if food right now. You've done it Andrew, you've finally filled my bowels. I'm just tired. The sudden panic messed me up real bad and has drained out all my energy." "Hmmmm, then let's find something that would fill you with energy. Let's see uhm, what activities can we partake in now?" He thought out loud, stroking h
"We'll be back in 3 days." Mendez said into the phone, "Please let Nicole go. I and Andrew will be in Brighton in the next three days."Douglas tried grinning, but his vision was woozy and his mouth stiff. "Perfect," he slurred, then wheezed."Douglas, are you okay?" Mendez asked.Douglas tried laughing, but ended up choking and wheezing. He felt like his throat and airways were on fire."Douglas?""Shut up." He spat out,"it's the alcohol. I'm drunk." That was exactly what he'd been telling himself since he started seeing signs and symptoms of his weakness."Are you going to free my daughter now?" Mendez asked.Douglas tongue felt numb, making speaking hard."You'll free her yourself. But I would begin to take care of her and treat her wounds." He slurred."That's not enough Douglas. Karen is becoming worried. If not for the crisis her company is facing, I'm sure she would have returned with Andrew and I. She's keen on seeing Nicole and I've been feeding her with so much false info
Caleb was lounging at home when news came to him from his spies in the old Alpha's pack house that Andrew was returning in less than a week. He jumped up.What the fuck! He screamed through the mind link. Send out word to the Rebels immediately and find Larry!Larry is with Douglas as we speak and Douglas has summoned us for a quick debrief. Someone responded.Caleb growled,Find out what he's doing there and get back to me after the meeting.Caleb grabbed his phone next and dialed Mendez's number.Mendez didn't pick at first and it aggravated him."What the fuck! Mendez!" Caleb screamed into the phone, when he finally picked.Mendez made no reply at first,"Elias Mendez Elrold! Answer me! What the hell is going on. You were supposed keep him the fuck away until I became Alpha! What do you mean by 'he's coming back in less than a week'!""I've given you enough time!" Mendez screamed back. "It's been more than a month since we left and what have you accomplished? You have just been p
Andrew woke up refreshed and ready for the day. Like he'd discussed with Emily the night before, he was likely to be out all day. At first he was reluctant to leave her alone because he wasn't sure she'd fully recovered from the call, but she assured him and insisted that he should go. He would have wanted to take her with him, if not for the fact that he couldn't take her back to the coven with him, especially after she disapproved of his going there. Emily was still sleeping soundly beside him as he quietly excused himself from the bed. She looked so peaceful that it seemed as if disrupting her sleep was a sin. He considered giving her a quick kiss but he didn't want to wake her up. He'd barely entered the bathroom when he haeard her murmur something then fall back to sleep. Unconsciously a smile spread across his lips. He shook his head at her silliness, then caught a glance of his smiling face in the mirror. It surprised him because before Emily, he could not remember smiling
After breakfast, Andrew hopped into his car, drove it as far away from the guest house as possible then doubled back to his territory. He would have loved to shift so he could shorten his journey to and fro and get back to Emily as soon as possible but here couldn't because he didn't trust the witches in the unwelcoming coven. They could attack him at his weakest moment, which was when he was shifting. So he sped through the forest to the boundary where they had encountered the bear the last time. Suspiciously, he didn't encounter any threats or feel unwelcome.Three witches waited for him as he arrived. He skidded to a stop and relaxed on a tree, trying to look as informal and harmless as possible."Resilient Alpha, we knew you'd be back. You're as stubborn and mule-headed as your kind. So blinded by your determination that you cannot see what's before you. Luckily it wouldn't slip away, it belongs to you." They recited, then bowed in greeting.Andrew furrowed his brows in confusi
