Cold! She felt cold. Icy cold. She tried to open her eyes but it seemed impossible. Her hands were restrained, and even her legs were restrained. She couldn't move. A cold chill ran down her spine when she realized that she couldn't even feel her body. All she felt was coldness surrounding and submerging her further down the glacier. She couldn’t breathe. Panic started to creep into her veins as she tried to breathe or move but her body was like a dead stone. Immovable! A cold chuckle resonated all around and her mind froze. Her heart was terrorized inside her ribcage at the impact of that vicious smile. It was him. The killer of her parents. He was back to do what he couldn't do last time. He was here to kill her. She started to thrash violently but to no avail. She could hear his footsteps approaching but she could do nothing. She was frozen. Her body wasn't responding. She couldn't even open her eyes. Bitter tears formed in her eyes at her vulnerability. He will hurt he
She blinked several times, the sensible part of her mind fighting with the fear that gripped every pore of her being. "It's me, Belle." He said softly while taking yet another step closer. His hands raised in surrender. This time she didn't flinch and continued to gaze at him as if she was seeing him for the very first time. "Easy baby, easy. Just breathe." He cooed softly while walking toward her in slow calm steps, she was so focused on his hands to notice his approach. The only thing going on in her mind was that the hands were normal like human beings. No claws, nothing. He was harmless. Her eyes flickered to his only to gasp out in shock. He was right in front of her. So close, almost in her personal space, she noticed those familiar green hues that brought comfort to her being. "X... Xa... xander..." She stammered badly as a sob raked her body. Her senses came back fully, her legs giving up on her but before she could fall to the floor two large muscular arms wrapped arou
Xander came back to his room and Emma was still fast asleep. Sitting on the bed right beside where she lay. He gazed at her peaceful face. The image of a 13-year-old bloody Emma raked his mind causing his heart to constrict painfully inside his chest. "You are my strong Luna." He whispered, caressing her cheek. Never in his life had he thought that this little girl has faced so much and fought her whole life. Bastard of him to think that she was weak when in reality she was far more fucking strong than many. She was a warrior. "My warrior." He whispered and rubbed his thumb over her chapped dry lips. Emma groaned in pain. Her head felt as if gazillions of needles were pricking it and each of the needles weighed like a boulder. She grabbed her head as her fingers dug into her scalp to ease the pain but it won't go away. Groaning, she tried to sit but didn't have enough energy to do so. She peeled her eyes open with force and blinked several times to adjust her sight to the dark s
"He yanked me out of my hiding place. H... he threw me at the b.. bed and g... grabbed me from behind. I was a kid and terrified... my parents were laying dead on the floor in the pool of their blood... he would've d... done something horrendous but c... cops came because my father had already dialed them before Victor came. H... he attacked me and left me bleeding do die b... but I survived." She stammered her voice trembling. His heart constricted painfully inside his chest and all he wanted to do was give that bastard a slow painful death. "I was in a coma for 6 months. My... my grandparents came from Florida and after hearing the news my... my grandmother had a heart attack and she died... only my grandpa and I were left...." Emma breathed heavily while wiping away her tears. "He wasn't the same happy grandpa anymore, his health deteriorated with time and eventually he also left me and passed away... I've been all on my own since then..." She whispered as Xander pulled her soft
"I... I... want you b... but..." She stammered. Xander's body became rigid at her words. The euphoria that blasted inside him knew no bounds. "I...I'm a firm believer of umm... that... Ummm after marriage." She blurted with red beetroot cheeks. Xander turned to face her and the way she looked down with those red cheeks and red ears, he was mesmerized. 'Blake I need a pastor. You have 30 minutes.' He mind-linked Blake and after giving his order he shut him off without even hearing his reply. "Get ready babe, you only have one hour to prepare for your wedding." He blasted the bomb at her. Emma who was still buzzing with his touches gazed at him with half-hooded eyes. "Huh?" She looked so fucking innocent. "We are getting married in an hour." He said every word slowly so it would register in her mind. "W...What?" She stuttered in shock. That was too fast! Uh Oh! His fingers caressed her cheek as his knuckles lowered down and caressed his mark on her neck ever so softly. She tre
Carrying her in his strong arms he softly placed her on the bed and in seconds she was stark naked on his bed like a trembling leaf. Emma immediately sticks her thighs together while covering her bosoms with her trembling hands. The words of her bullies started to ring in her head like a mantra and she felt a lot more conscious and dejected. Moving away from her, he stood at the foot of the bed. His dark eyes dead set on her as he removed his shirt ever so slowly as it lay on the floor with other clothes. She gazed at his massive built-in pure adoration and awe, he was beautifully sculpted like a greek God with all that daunting tattoos. This man was hers and she couldn't believe it. Whereas on the other hand, she was fat with scars. Her nose tingles and tears threaten to form in her eyes. He opened his belt and then his fly. He removed the pants along with his boxers simultaneously and her eyes widened to the size of saucers as she gaped at him. Her throat clogged up and her mo
The next morning Emma woke up with a groan. Her head felt heavy and her whole body was as if someone crushed it under the bulldozer. She tried to move with closed eyes but the sweet soreness between her legs had her eyes opening wide as slowly the sweet yet raw night of passionate love invaded her mind and blush crept through her cheeks. He confessed! She still couldn't believe this. Last night was the best night of her life. He was so caring yet maddening at the same time. She caressed his arm on her waist and turned around to face him. He was asleep. The look of contentment on his face said it all. Her heart purred in ecstasy at the sight of him. All her assumptions were proven wrong. Xander was nothing like what she thought of him. He was even far better than many humans. She was stupid to push him away when all the while she needed him the most. Her mate. She smiled at herself. She was thinking like a werewolf now. She let out a sigh of contentment and kissed his neck befor
Silvia made it her mission to show the whole mansion to Emma as both girls wandered around the magnificent place and Silvia kept on blabbering about each and everything. Emma got to know about the gigantic library, a massive gym, a mini movie theater, a big swimming pool in the backyard, and also a gorgeous-looking garden of acres. This was pure heaven in short words. Silvia dropped her back to her room in the afternoon. And after all the tour she was already tired. Closing the door behind her, she walked further and plopped herself down on the soft, comfy, and gigantic bed of his. Her cheeks turned red realizing that it was him who changed the sheets when she was bathing. How generous of him. Emma swiveled around now on her back on the bed as she gazed at the ceiling while deep in thought. She felt light. Happy. Content. She didn't realize when sleep consumed her and the next time she woke up, it was already evening. She slept like the dead for that long. She immediately fr
"W...why are you locking the door?" She stuttered but her breath hitched when he turned to face her. "What the fuck was Hunter saying?" He asked in low menace. Rasmus was always the calm type. It was the first time she was seeing him angry like this. "N...nothing. I need to go." She gulped before walking past him but he didn't let her leave. Grabbing her arm he pulled her back right in front of him. "What the fuck Hunter was saying?" He asked again, making her look away. There was anger in his olive green eyes. "He was joking. He wanted to rile you up. It was all our plan and it worked." She snapped at him. Snatching her arm from his hold she walked past him. Just when she was about to open the door. He swiveled her around and glared at her. Her wrist was in his hand. "Now what? I admit that I like you. I was just trying to make you jealous all these days so you would confess but you didn't and instead, you plotted your plan. Such a fox." He tsked. His eyes went from glaring at
Rasmus, Hunter, and Luca = 20 Sarah= Will turn 18 in this chapter. Aurora= 16 Angela= 10 "Em!" Connor wailed dramatically and the next thing he engulfed her in a bear hug. Emma couldn't help but let the tears out of joy. It was after so many years they were finally meeting. Though they talked on the phone often. Emma told him about Xabder after 4 years of her marriage. And she wasn't even ready to tell but Xander saw her talking to Connor so he grabbed the phone from her hand and introduced himself as her husband this time. Connor was rendered speechless and Xander further informed him about their two babies. Connor gave a good scolding to Emma for not informing him about this and he wasn't shocked. When Xander once picked up Emma's phone and informed Connor that he was Emma's boyfriend. Connor has had his suspicion since then and he also recognized his voice. Connor knew it was her teacher, Xander Colt. "I missed you," Emna mumbled softly on his chest, making Connor laugh. He
Hunter, Rasmus, luca= 16 Sarah= 14 Aurora= 12 Angela= 6 "Will she be alright?" Emma panicked. Her eyes were dead set on the doctor who sighed. "She will be fine, Luna. It's just a fever. Nothing serious. These medications would help." The doc said as he handed her some medicines. It was as if Emma could breathe again as she nodded her head. Ethan escorted the doctor out as Emma walked into Aurora's room. Aurora was lying on the bed. Her baby was suffering from a fever. Sitting beside her on the bed Emma caressed her forehead and kissed her cheek. "My strong baby," Emma mumbled as she continued to caress her princess. The door opened and Xander walked in. He looked tired. Their princess was suffering from a high fever for three days. They were always beside her all the time and now finally Aurora was getting better. Xander caressed Aurora's cheek before he pecked her forehead and sat there. After a while, the door slowly opened. Rasmus, Hunter, Luca, Sarah, and little Angela wa
Hunter, Rasmus, and Luca= 10 Sarah= 8 Aurora= 6 Emma stared at the pregnancy strip in her hand. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw two small horizontal lines on the strip. Positive. Her heart stuttered inside her chest. She was happy but she was nervous at the same time. They didn't plan this at all. She didn't know how it happened because she was on pills. After all, Mr. Xander Colt never used protection. She was still staring at the strip when the door to the restroom opened and Xander walked in. Finding her there, his hands immediately wrapped around her waist like a magnet as he pulled her back flushed to his chest. His face nuzzled in the crook of her neck as he breathed her scent. But then he paused. His eyes narrowed at the strip in her hand and then he abruptly swiveled her around in his arms so they were face to face. His large hands cupped her cheek as he made her look up. Their eyes met and he animatedly widened his eyes as if asking her the answer to an unasked
Hunter, Rasmus, and Luca= 7 Sarah= 5 Aurora= 3 "Sarah I swear if you touched my sword again with your baby hands. I'm gonna smash your doll!" Seven-year-old Hunter growled like a child at the five-year-old Sarah who stared at Hunter with her big brown eyes. "You won't do that," Sarah said in her baby voice, making a pout. She turned to stare at Luca who nonchalantly shrugged his shoulder. Hunter and Luca were always best buddies no matter what. Throwing the wooden sword toward Hunter. Sarah huffed and walked towards the bench as she sat on it, with her arms folded on her chest. A light smack landed on her head from behind making her gasp as she rubbed her head to glare at the person only to have a wide smile adorn her lips. "Rasmus." She squealed in joy, making Rasmus frown. "What? Why are you screaming, you poodle." Rasmus muttered and rounded the bench as he sat beside her while munching on his bubble gum. Sarah let out an exasperated gasp and pulled her poodle-like brown hai
"Xander!" Emma warned but he only growled in response. His face nuzzled in the crook of her neck. And his large calloused hand was on her right bosom as he squeezed it roughly through her dress making her gasp. Moving back he pressed a button and spoke up. "Head towards my farmhouse." He told the driver and removed his finger from the button as Emma gave him furrowed brows. "I don't want our kids to disturb us tonight." He muttered with a smile on his face making her giddy. "Silvia and Ethan would be pissed because they'll have to take care of four kids tonight," Emma warned, making him chuckle. "I'm the Alpha. They can't say anything to me." He muttered with a shrug. "Mean." She muttered lowly making him smirk. Grabbing her hand he kissed the back of it. And next thing he yanked her to him and slammed his lips on hers in a searing kiss. His tongue caressed hers, coaxing her to open her mouth and when she didn't he grabbed her rear and gave a rough squeeze to it making her gasp
Emma asked the staff about the directions to the ladies' restroom as she walked in there to find it empty. Rosa must be in one of the cabins. Emma stared at her reflection in the mirror and gasped in horror. Her lipstick was smudged a little making it clear what she might have done before arriving at the party. She cussed at herself for not looking in the proper mirror and she cussed at her mighty husband who didn't tell her. He might want everyone to see how his woman was so into him. Evil man. She wiped her lips with the tissue and then applied a new coat of lip gloss and now she looked much better. One of the doors opened and Rosa walked out and as soon as she noticed Emma she got startled with a soft gasp. "I'm sorry. I was startled." Rosa spoke softly and walked towards the basin. She placed something on the slab and washed her hands. "It's okay. I didn't mean to scare you." Emma said sweetly, making Rosa smile. Grabbing some tissues Rosa wiped her forehead off the sweat an
They reached the venue a little late but not too late as the guests were already arriving. When Xander told Emma that he was a world-famous business tycoon and the boss of the Colt empire, she was rendered speechless. Her man aka the Alpha of the Moon pack was a billionaire. This explained his lavish mansion and those expensive cars. They were invited to the silver jubilee of knight enterprises. Many top-notch people were invited and they were one of them. Thanks to Silvia she was looking after her kids that's why Emma was able to come. If not for Silvia coaxing her boys for a movie they would've never let her go out because they can't bear to leave their parents alone. Grabbing her small hand, Xander placed it on his arm and walked inside. "I forgot to tell you, doll. You look beautiful." He said sweetly and a big smile plastered on her face at that compliment. "You look handsome my Alpha." She mused, earning a groan from him. He loved it when she called him 'my Alpha.' It kinda
1 year later. "Doll, hurry up." Xander's voice came from outside the door. "Five minutes," Emma said back as she hurriedly pulled her dress on and was having difficulty closing the zip at the back when the door knob twisted open and Xander walked inside only to halt in his steps. He closed the door shut behind him as his eyes darkened at the sight of her bare back. "Are you seducing me?" He growled, making her gasp. With sparks of anger dancing in her eyes, she turned to face him and placed her hands on her hips. Her signature pose whenever he makes her angry. "I didn't even do anything," Emma complained while throwing her hands up in the air. "You're flexing that slim back of yours through the mirror and you're not seducing me." He faked shock as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Get out." She muttered lowly before turning to face the mirror and drowned herself in the quest to close her zipper which seemed impossible. A large cold hand came in contact with her back making her ga
