A LOVE TRIANGLE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Emma met Clem surveying the master bedroom, with his two hands in the back pockets of his denim jeans, as she walked in. His back was towards her, and she had to admit; he was really a fine specimen, with a nice ass.
She knew that Clem liked her already. His eyes had looked dreamy when he had brushed the dirt off her face.
Emma thought she liked him too, she felt comfortable around him; unlike someone with the deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. Derek made her insides tingle. She feels so nervous whenever she's around him, her body temperature running up each time.
Time had stopped for her, when she had jumped on him while running away from those damn cockroaches.
But on his arms, she had thanked the creator for creating those cockroaches for the first time ever. Because of them, she had felt the lushness of his arms.
Emma signed dreamily, wishing for the moment again.
A sound of a twig break, caused her to snap out of her thoughts. She rubbed her forehead, while muttering curses to her heart.
She noticed Clem was still standing at the spot she had first seen him, and she wondered what he was actually thinking about.
"Hey" She said, moving towards him.
"Hey" He replied, turning around to face her.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Just looking around" He said smiling. "You have a good place here" He continued.
Emma laughed outrightly. He surely has a sense of humor, she thought.
She didn't think of this place good, it was ugly for fudge's sake. Or Was Clem taunting her? This unknown factor got Emma folding her arms across her chest, a frown in place; her gait in active mode to kick him out if her thought was right.
"You know frowning is not healthy for your face" Clem stated, now laughing. He had understood her change in demeanor. She thought he was mocking her, which wasn't so.
He meant what he had said to her. The house was a good one, just that it had been devoid of attention for so long. He couldn't say less of it even if it had been a slaughter house.
The architectural design was beautiful, but Emma doesn't know that. He thought to himself amusedly.
"Why are you still laughing" Emma asked Clem, no longer annoyed. She was curious this time.
" Nothing actually, just that your face looks funny as it switches sides" He said.
" Oh" Emma muttered, biting her lower lips..as she tried to remember what had brought her to the room in the first place. Looking around the room, she saw her purse on the box and ruffled her hair as she remembered. She wanted her purse as she had settled on going for a stroll earlier on, to clear her head.
Clem, already entranced by Emma's unconscious lip bitting earlier, watched her walk towards the box by the wall, saw her bend to retrieve a purse on top of the box, and sighed.
Her behind was all curvy, he thought. The ripped jeans she wore molded it perfectly. He wasn't sure if she was his mate; he would know in less than three weeks time though. But damn, she really caught his attention. This human was sure beautiful with her deep red hair.
"Are you going somewhere?" He asked her, when she turned to face him.
"Yeah, for a stroll perhaps. I don't want to be an obstruction to the work you guys will be doing here" She replied, dusting off imaginery dirt on her jeans.
" No, stay. You wouldn't be obstructing anything I do. I think your presence will strengthen me actually" Clem said, pouting. He wanted her here, as he worked. Although he would try not do anything out of the ordinary, like carrying the master bed by himself.
The look on Clem's face caused Emma to laugh out loudly. She thought he was really cute, but she wasn't going to say that.
" Are you trying to manipulate me into staying, with a puppy face?" She asked him, still laughing.
" Yeah. Is it working? " He asked, still pouting.
"Well if this is a puppy face, I wouldn't want to have a puppy" She replied in laughter.
Clem burst into laughter. She sure has a way with words, he thought, while putting his hands on his chest dramatically, faking heartbreak.
"What are you guys doing?"
Derek's voice cut into the atmosphere of humour, shattering it. Emma jerked back feeling guilty, although for the life of her, she couldn't understand why she felt like she had just done something wrong.
"Aren't you going for the stroll again" He asked her, looking at her intensely, negligent of the fun he had just cut.
Emma thought he looked sad at first as he stared at her, but the look was quickly masked with a haughty one, as she kept staring at him.
"I was about heading out" She replied, collecting her purse and walking out of the room, with her head high. She wasn't going to allow herself skimper under his gaze. The guy was really a hulk.
Clem watched Derek stare after Emma, even after she had gone and sighed. It seems his friend also liked the new girl, but he was not letting go of the human anytime soon, he thought. He liked her.
He had always watched Derek get even the girls he liked, but he had overlooked it, without really complaining. Maybe because he wasn't really interested, after all it was just to satisfy their sexual urges till their mate came around. Teen fun, they call it.
But Emma, she was different. He didn't know how, but he just felt it strongly. He had to have her, at least before he gets his mate.
'It's not wrong to have the most beautiful girl in the block for once. Derek always get them.' He thought.
Clem watched Derek, still staring at the door that Emma had just passed through, and for a moment he wondered whether his friend could also see through the walls.
He already knew that Derek could communicate with his wolf since he turned sixteen. His father had informed him last summer, although he had told him to keep it a secret.
".....the pack shouldn't know about it". His father had said.
Although he was a little bit jealous, he had gotten over it..at least he was a beta.
"Where are you cleaning?" He asked Derek, finally breaking the wierd silence.
"Here" Derek said monotonely, surveying the room.
"Here? But I already picked it. I thought you agreed to clean up the kitc.."
He couldn't finish his statement, as Derek's glare hushed him up.
"I'm cleaning here now" He heard Derek say.
"Okay then, suit yourself" He said, walking out.

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION A NEW FACE
The Moon Park street smelled of whistling pine and natural vegetative flavors. Emma loved it. She has been strolling for almost an hour, walking from one block to another, appraising the beautiful bungalowish houses she has been seeing; and completely liked the fact that she could breathe freely without inhaling a scent of coffee, or perfume, or a mixture of junk and fried foods. The air was very free. As she strolled down the fifth block, she saw a row chair in front of a pale yellow house, which had the same design as her now house few blocks away; though this one was the neat version of hers. Emma stopped walking, then mused at the thought. She has her own house, at 17. 'What a fast-trek', she thought. &n

Emma could see that gaze again. It was the same gaze she had seen in the eyes of the boys earlier when they had seen her at first; and she got really curious. " Can't you talk or what.." The woman queried, seemingly getting tired of repeating her questions. " I'm Emma, and I live down the street" Emma replied looking at the woman. But she couldn't keep the eye contact for long. Rubbing her hands together, she looked elsewhere, at the gmelina trees; because for some reasons, unknown to her, she felt cold under the woman's gaze. "You live here??" The woman asked, her voice tinted with a note of confusion and suprise. Emma grasping that, looked up at the stranger. She could see the widening of the woman's e

The warmth of the sun rays on this mountainous scape, made Emma wish fervently that she had dropped off her brown coat in the house; as she felt the pool of sweat that had formed between the layers of her breasts. Her thin white polo was also slightly soaked, and they haven't gotten to the restaurant yet. She mused tiredly at the thought, and prayed silently, earnestly in her heart that they should get to the restaurant quickly. Her stomach was already making grumpling sounds. Trudging down the grassy path with Melvina, Emma wondered at her agility, while neglecting the stares she was getting from the people that stood at the West end of the road, purchasing clothes. "I didn’t know that the restaurant is this far.." She said rubbing her hands together, stopping f
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION AN ENEMY AT THE EATERY
The cloying smell of freshly baked cookies, hamburger and fries engulfed Emma as a hug, assailing her nostrils in a pleasant way as Melvina and she, stepped into the eatery. Her stomach grumbled in approval, as she breathed in the wholesome smell in relish. She couldn't wait to eat. "Let's go." Melvina said, holding her hand, and whisking her to the one of the tables. "Here, sit" She said, as they got to the first table closer to the window. Emma sat down excitedly, while rubbing her hands together. The cafeteria seemed to be cold, an odd opposition of the weather outside. " What will you have?." Melvina asked her, smiling.
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION AN ENEMY AT THE EATERY II
Claire cussed as she heard Melvina's voice. Throwing her hands behind her back, she bent her heads in a bid to look sorry, while thinking inwardly of a hundred ways to deal ruthlessly with the human. "Claire, didn't you hear my question?. What happened??" Melvina asked, getting pissed off at the beta's daughter already. "Lu.." Claire tried saying, but Melvina cut her off through the pack link. "Ma, would be preferable" Melvina had said, through the link. "Oh.." Claire's mouth opened, then closed, after she tried assessing the situation. Emma noticed the motions made by the eyes of the two females, One in a commanding way, the other subdued; but sh
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION "WHERE IS EMMA??''
CHAPTER 12 A sense of accomplishment enveloped Derek, as he stared around the big white-painted bedroom in content. The bedroom now looked heavenly with its interior all cleaned up, changed and furnished; a sharp contrast to its former muddled state. ‘The little witch is lucky.’ He thought, running his hands over the dark blue silky bed sheets, which accentuated the beauty of the king sized bed, one of the many things that Mr Jason, had made available to them for the furnishing of the house. Turning aside for a moment from the beautiful sight in front of him, and facing the window, Derrick pondered again on who the little witch was, and who Mr Jason is really. It was obvious to him that they were both humans, rich too, but he couldn’t understand how they still got a place in Moonway street, that’s apart from the weird fact that a father could send his daughter to this part of the continent alone. No matter how he tried to think of a reason
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION "WHERE IS EMMA??" II
Derek just shrugged his shoulders at Shane’s question, while biting off his nails in deep thought. ‘Where could the little witch be?’ He thought interminably, not taking note of the abrasive looks on the faces of his two companions in the sitting room. ‘’Derek!!’’ Shane shouted, getting pissed off already at the shade of aloofness he was seeing on his alpha’s face. He had noticed earlier, the tension between Derek and Clem since the human girl came around, but then he couldn’t understand, couldn’t pinpoint exactly, why the arrival of ‘she’ had to cause a rift between his two closest friends. Although he was definitely happy that Derek had been thoroughly affected by a girl for the first time, he didn’t want it to be a cause of dispute between Clem and him. The pack didn’t need an alpha that is at loggerheads with his beta. They had to sort out their issues, whatever it is, now. ‘’Yeah, what is it?’’ Derek asked, still biting his nails inte
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION "WHO BULLIED YOU?"
Under the shocked gazes of the three boys, Emma squirmed a bit. ‘Did she say anything wrong?’, she thought. She had just mentioned Melvina only. A tiny thought at the back of her head nagged her a bit. It seems Melvina wasn’t just a common somebody; her instincts had been right. Ever since she had discussed with her on the chair across the woods till when they got to the eatery, she knew there was something more to her. But till this moment, even for the life of her, Emma just couldn’t seem to place her finger on it, on who she actually felt Melvina was. She guessed she would have to wait on the boys to perhaps slip up the answer. “What did you just say?” She heard a voice which she could tell was Clem’s, ask. Tearing her gaze from Derek which her traitor eyes had settled on for a minute, she looked sideways to see Clem staring at her; his eyes widened in surprise. ‘’Did you just say Melvina?” He asked, in a lowered

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANNABEL’S TRIAL
Emma’s eyes were as active as anything active as she watched the elders slowly walk into the hall reserved for judging cases, like Annabel’s. As she watched them, her feet kept dancing on the floor in a funny unsteady motion; she was unsteady. One, one. Then two, two. Then one two. Once, Amelia had looked at her, with a piqued eyebrow. ‘What is that?’ Her eyes seemed to ask, but Emma had given no answer. What is it? It should be what are they?! When they were hurrying over to the hall, after convincing the guards that they would be around for the trial too, her sister had whispered that the cabin, her parent’s cabin, had been burnt by the master, Slediv. It had brought Emma up short, making her stagger on her feet for two reasons. That Slediv had really traced them, even without her then, and that the cabin was burnt; the loss it meant for her parents. Would they regret helping her then? Prescott didn’t think so. But Emma was still worried about it, just like her mind had tried
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION BAD BLOOD
One week later:Emma had run to the clinic, immediately Adah had burst into her apartment with the news that Annabel and Amelia were awake. Over the couple of days in class, they had bonded over gossip, and training, seeing as the latter was the only one that had been sincerely interested in her. Emma had run with Prescott in her hands, and Adah right behind her. And when she arrived at the room she had frequented daily with prayers, and saw her sister and her friend chatting tiredly, she let out a scream of happiness and hurried over to them. “Amelia! Annabel!” She called gaily, garnering the attention of the two females sitting cross-legged on the same bed. Before they could let out a shout or smile of their own, Emma’s hands were already around them. “Oh my goodness, I am so happy for both of you…” she paused. “but give me a heartache again, and I will skin you both alive..” Annabel and Amelia divulged bouts of laughter, with the nurses. Prescott and Adah weren’t left behind,
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY IV
Caden sighed in relief at his mate’s words, wanting to believe at all costs that the years he had spent with her, that the love they had shared, hadn’t been in vain. He didn’t know what he would have done otherwise. Cry, brood? Neither was acceptable in these times. And so, he wasn’t moved when his son piqued an eyebrow at his mate’s words, or when his daughter’s lips turned up—in disgust or curiosity, he wasn’t sure. But he didn’t care. He just hung on to the thread that his mate was spinning with. “I didn’t cheat on my mate, I’m sure he would have found out if I had done so, considering the mate bond and all that…” There was a pause, where relief sunk its foothold the more in Caden and his children. “So, if that’s what you are thinking, Caden… if that’s what you all are thinking, cut it out. I was surprised too when Claire had met me with the news at first, and I didn’t tell you, Caden, because I wasn’t sure how to explain the phenomena to you. I knew you held the lineage of you
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY III
Chyra didn’t know what Clem was talking about—the end of the world, and all that—but she knew that she was to blame for Claire rejecting her mate considering what she had soaked into her daughter’s mind about the alpha’s family, about how the Luna seat was her birthright. She also knew that she shouldn’t be working with Arnold. But she was too proud to concede to that, to concede to anyone, and so she shrugged her shoulders to Clem’s question. In the next second, she saw why that had been a wrong play on her part. When she saw Clem fume in anger, when she saw Claire glare at her stinkingly, when she saw her mate watch her like she was foolish, she knew that she had made a mistake. It would have been best if she had kept quiet, than giving off that nonchalant attitude. But her pride held her back from apologizing. Why should she apologize for being a mother caring to give her daughter the best? “Mother, are you so daft that…” Clem was saying when his father shouted him down. Caden
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY II
At this point, Clem didn’t know what to think about his sister, Claire. He had thought that their parents had been her motivator to reject Curtis, to follow Curtis up and down, to join the meetings that prince Nathan held with the others, but from the thick astounded silence that dwelled in the room, it could be safe to say that his sister had been acting on her own, without any external influence. He didn’t know what to think of that. He looked at his mother; she looked more shocked out of her shoes and mind than his father, quite expected since the mother and daughter duo were quite close, since his sister had no mind of hers, except put into place by his mother. As much as he was not happy with his twin, he was happy that for once his mother had no part to play in her recent escapades. “What do you mean…Claire?” Caden asked, pushing himself ahead, his elbow resting on his knees. “What do you mean when you say that Curtis is your mate? When did that happen? When did you find out?
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY
What Claire saw first when she stepped into her father’s room was her parents sitting in the living room, with Clem, their backs hunched, the air filled with pregnant silence, waiting. They were waiting for her. She knew it from the moment she had dropped a note in Clem’s mind that she was on her way home. That he hadn’t bothered with a response, should have been enough to let her know that her twin was still angry with her. But she had held out hope, until she had reached the borders of the pack and he hadn’t been waiting for her. This was very different from the times they had quarrels. She knew, however, that this quarrel was different. She had denied her mate, because of the throne; had gone ahead to push Emma away from the pack; and when Derek still hadn’t chosen her, she had returned to Curtis because he was an Alpha. Would she have returned to him if he wasn’t that? She didn’t know. That was the truth. She didn’t know. She might have gone back to Curtis, even if he wasn’t a
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANOTHER MATE FOR CURTIS
At Wind Winders Pack.“Dad, what is this? What was Zoe doing in my room so early in the morning?” Curtis questioned, a second after he rushed into the dining room where his parents were having breakfast. He had slept in obviously, but he didn’t care. Yesterday’s training had been rigorous after all. He darted his eyes between his mother and father; his mother’s widened eyes told him that she had no idea what he was talking about; quite expected since this turn of event hadn’t been part of their plans. Hence, he trained his eyes on his father; the old man just continued eating his breakfast like he hadn’t spoken. Curtis thought of repeating himself, but thought better of it. He walked up to his father, and took away his plate of food; an act that he wouldn’t have been able to try before; an act that might have spelt his death; but considering his father’s few options of allies, he knew that he had a chance to live. And so, when his father glared at him heatedly, he didn’t quake in hi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION PRESCOTT IS AWAKE
“Hey…how are you feeling?” Emma whispered, touching Prescott’s head softly, as she watched him open his eyes for the second time. The first time, she had screamed and had called for the nurse in charge of his treatment, not minding that Adah was with her. Nothing could have dampened her joy. She had just checked on Annabel and Amelia, who although their vitals were stable, was still asleep, yet out of coma. According to the chief nurse, a week was enough for them to wake up now. Then she had checked on Prescott, and only touching him with fondness had elicited the response of his eyes opening. Emma had been overjoyed. “Prescott, can you hear me?” She asked softly, dragging a seat to herself, whilst Adah watched on, not understanding the communication method of the squirrel and Emma. Like the people in the community, she had never seen a talking animal, or rather an animal that communicates as Emma had painted Prescott to be. Her friend who was in the upper echelons of the community
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION STARTING CLASSES III
No professor spoke to her, and Emma couldn’t help but wonder why. Had Prince Shiloh ask them to avoid her? Or had professor Brooks’ defeat scared them away from her? Well, if that was the matter, then she believed it was for the greater good. She had no interest in making affiliations after all, so long as they taught her what she wanted to know, and treated her fairly. “So, do you think you can cope?” She heard Adah ask, and turned aside to see her new seat mate. The mischievous glint in the latter’s eyes made her smile, howbeit small. “I believe I can.” She answered, before getting on her feet. She took her bag which Gira had provided that morning and slung the straps across her shoulder. It was time to go home, or rather check on her friends. Classes were done for the day. “Where are you going?” Adah asked her, getting to her feet. As they walked toward the door, a couple of the students swiftly moved, and stood before the door, causing Emma to furrow her eyebrows. But she chose
