JEREMIAH
Emma breaks the kiss and leans her head against my shoulder, breathing heavily. I look over hers at Trinity, not trusting my voice or wanting to scare Emma. I open my bond with her, but she speaks before I can,
“I’m sorry, your Highness. I know you didn’t have a choice and there seems to be a bit of a story behind the first time you marked her as well, but you will tell me when you are ready and trust me with that sort of information…”
“I don’t want you to, but for her sake, can you sedate her? I don’t know if I will be able to control myself when the next wave hits.”
Trinity nods and steps back over to her bag. She pulls out a small bottle and a needle; she inserts the needle into the bottle and fills it. Once it is to where she is satisfied, she removes the needle, gives it a couple of little flicks, and a small squirt comes from the end before she turns fully to me.
I cringe and look the other w
EMMAI remove my hand and lower my eyes, now remembering that she is now of a higher rank than I am.“It’s okay, Em. It just tickled.”I smile, but without looking up, I then whisper,“Why are you here? Where is the Master?”“His Highness is in his office. You went into your heat after you remembered what happened with Norman and Nathan. His Highness didn’t want to take advantage and take something that you are not quite ready to give him yet…”“But what if I was?… Ready I mean?” I interrupt her,“Em… That would’ve been your heat, making you want to accept him. Your body and your wolf wanting to complete the mating and bonding…”Ali is probably right about my heat, but I do remember how I was feeling toward the Master before what Nathan and Norman did. I then hear a soft female voice in my head that I haven't heard in so long,“Emma??” “Odette?” “Yes, Emma. I’m sorry. I could still hear and feel everything and wanted to help you. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn’t… You couldn’t he
EMMAHe steps back a little more, making me even more scared that he will deny her or us what we need. I gather as much courage as I can as I step toward him and say,“Please, Master. I know I'm not allowed to, but Odette is still weak. She needs to shift… Please!”I then drop to my knees in front of him, waiting for his refusal and then his punishment. Odette whimpers in my head again, but I then feel the Master's hand on my head before he seems to crouch down in front of me and says,“It has been too long since you have shifted and allowed her to run. Come, my pet, I will take you to the clearing and you can shift there…”I look up at him, surprised, but he just smiled, stood and then held out his hand to me. I lift my hand and place it in his, allowing him to help me back to my feet and then pulling me into his arms. I then surprise the Master and myself as I press myself up against him and wrap my arms around his neck.I link my fingers and hesitantly pull a little, lowering his h
EMMAI step back away from the Master a little and then allow Odette to come to the front, joining me. I then scream out as I go to my knees. It has been so long since we have shifted that it is nearly like our first shift once more.Odette pushes forward more, lessening the pain so that my screams turn to whimpers as my bones break and realine. Once our shift is complete, Odette just lays there for a while just panting. I then manage to step back next to her. I whimper with her as small waves of pain roll through her wolf form.I am surprised when the pain turns to tingles as a hand seems to glide over and through my fur. I fight the pain and move my head to have a look at who is touching us. I give another whimper and slowly move so that I am standing on wobbly legs.I stay still for a few moments before I feel the need to shake; I start at my head and then allow the shake to move down my neck, over my shoulders, down my back and ending with a flick of my tail. Now that I am steady
SAMUEL The pack feels the grief that their Alpha family is feeling, that they are devastated at the loss of the link to Emma, even though my parents would never admit it. They were hoping that one day they would see their daughter again. Even with the loss of Emma, my fathers still held the Alpha ceremony, passing me the Alpha title and power. I wasn’t sure if I was ready or if I even wanted to be the Alpha of the most feared and powerful pack within King Noah’s territory but they gave me no choice, Marcus wasn’t Alpha material and neither was Claire and the triplets were still too young. Mother was still the acting Luna as I didn’t have my mate yet and my fathers were still there to offer me advice but I felt so alone. Waylen and I have been taking the night patrols every night since we… Since I felt the tether between me and Emma snap, Waylen and I have felt empty and not just the emptiness we used to feel at her not being near us but totally empty. It has been a couple of weeks
EMMAI wake to the spreading of tingles and pleasure. I can’t stop the soft moan that leaves my lips. I tense a little as I realise that the Master’s hands are already on my bare skin and he slides them into the top of my panties. I tense more as I feel his hardness pressed up against my arse. He kisses along the side of my neck until he reaches my ear and whispers,“Good evening, my pet. Relax. I will not hurt you.”I am sure he is getting tired of saying that he won't hurt me, but I can’t help it. Even though the Master’s touch has been nothing but gentle for the most part, all I can feel once the fear takes hold is Norman's cruel hands and what he would do with them.I can’t find my voice yet but try to do as he says and as I relax, the tingles and pleasure return until I feel the scrape and then the sting of his fangs entering the skin on my neck. I scream as pain and terror flood me once again. He tightens his arms around me, but that only adds to what I am already feeling. I the
EMMA Talking to Trinity has been helping. She has been coming to the Master’s chambers every evening and spending time with me. Allowing me to just talk to her, tell her everything that happened, but at my own pace. After the first time the Master called her in, she suggested that I allow the Master to drink from my wrist.It is something that he used to do when I was younger. He would get me to sit on his lap on what was now my reading chaise and then he would get me to give him my wrist. The only time back then he would drink from other places was when he was angry and giving me a punishment.So I allowed him to try, but the Master surprised me as he got me to sit on the chaise and then he sat on the floor in front of me. He then asked for my hand and wrist. I wrapped it around him from behind. He lightly placed his hand on mine before bringing it to his lips.A shiver goes through me at the memory, at the feeling. He was so gentle, I could feel the tingles spread up my arm and thr
JEREMIAH I tighten my arms around Emma as she collapses within them. I quickly move and pick her up bridal style, turning and looking at Trinity. Before I can say anything, she says,“Go lay her on the bed. When you come back, we can discuss what just happened.”I nod my head and head into my bedroom; I lay Emma on the bed and then walk back out. Finn is now sitting on the chaise with Ali in his lap and Trinity seems to be pacing in front of them. I clear my throat, and Trinity stops and faces me.“So…?”“Have you tried Em around any other males?”“No. She usually only sees me or Finn. She did have Norman and then Nathan, but then after finding out that Nathan was helping not only Norman but another servant that was picking on Em, I got Finn to change her guard to Kevin. We haven’t seen Kevin since the night of the attack. I have a feeling that Nathan killed him so he could get access to Em that night and take her to Norman.” I realise that since Kevin has disappeared, Emma is going
JEREMIAHSeeing Emma sobbing at my feet broke my heart. I had no intention of punishing her. She still needs to be careful so that the wrong people don’t find out what she is, but other than that, most of my original rules for her have gone out of the window.I crouch down next to her and slide my hand over her head before sliding it down and under her chin. I apply a little pressure and tilt her head up so that she can look at me; I hiss low when she doesn’t lift her eyes,“Look at me, Emma…”I watch as she slowly lifts her eyes and meets mine. I then smile as I say,“I am not going to punish you. You have done nothing wrong, my pet. Come, it is still early.”I then get back to my feet and hold out my hand. I nod my head and she lifts her hand and places it in mine. I give it a small tug and help her to her feet, I then smile as a slight surprised scream leaves her lips as I bend down, hooking my arm around her waist and under her knees picking her up and then carrying her over to th
