Emma has devoured three pancakes with syrup already, whilst watching and listening to the three girls talk and ramble about school and college. Eva was taking the lead in her class.But why won't she? Emma thought. She was an Alpha's daughter. Her cognitive abilities should be higher than the rest in her class.She wanted to ask her about the young boy that usually walked with her, but decided it was better to ask in secret, not wanting to embarrass the little girl who had confided in her.All through their talks, they never mentioned Derek and the family. Just other things.They didn't want to set her mood off.And she was appreciative of their thoughtfulness.Currently, they were talking about the possibility of Freya and Yodah joining the Lakers university, and about Leo going back to Curtis' pack."Emma, do you think the duo would attend our college?" Ava asked, her fingers confined in the middle of her laps. Emma had a feeling that the question was a sequel to an unknown main que
The glances of the four people in the sitting room shifted to the direction of the passageway when Freya stepped into the room. The surprised look on her face told the story that she hadn't been expecting visitors this morning.Eva was the first person to speak."Hey...who are you? Why do you like Emma? Are you twins?" The little girl asked, her voice tainted with confusion and underlying excitement. She hadn't seen Freya at the party. She hadn't actually been at the party. Melvina had tucked her into bed early so that she wouldn't be in danger in case the supposed war broke out.Freya smiled at the beautiful girl, already knowing that the latter was Derek's little sister. They had an uncanny resemblance. Seeing her here, she was sure that the girl had a good relationship with Emma, which Derek's betrayal hadn't even broken."My name is Freya. And yes, I am Emma's sister." Freya replied, winking at Emma who shrugged, not interested in arguing over the fact. To an outsider, it would be
The smiles on the faces of the girls widened when Yodah stepped into the room with Aiden and Julius. Yodah had of course let them know about the presence of the morning visitors, so they hadn't be surprised seeing them lounging and smiling on the sofa, and for one, Julius had already known of Ava's presence, even whilst beneath the ground. "Good morning girls..." The trio greeted, and the girls replied their greetings. Eva's confusion increased the more. She was wondering who were these guys now. She hoped that one of them had no thing already for Emma. The likelihood had her thinning her eyebrows and folding her arms across her chest, her face devoid of a smile. No guy was having Emma apart from her brother. No, not on her watch."Hello, little one.." Yodah greeted, squatting to the height of Eva when he noticed the slight scowl on her face. She hadn't spoken to him either, or responded to their greetings, rather she was glaring at them. He thought that it was because they were stra
Back at the Blue Moon's Pack, the same time:Shane, Curtis and Clem are with Anthony in his room, lounging on his bed, since Derek had refused to see any of them since Emma had left.Rewind to last night at the hall, when Emma had left the hall:When Emma had left the party with the vampires right behind her, Derek had turned around immediately, and had left the party hall, amidst the murmurings that had arisen from the event that had just occurred, and for once, even if it was for one tiny witty second, he didn't look at Claire who had still been sprawled on the ground, with Curtis trying to nurture her into consciousness. That action of him leaving without taking at least a look at his presumed mate, had of course passed the message to most of the party poopers that there was a high likelihood that the duo weren't mates.Alpha Peter had dismissed everyone to their homes, but not before promising the members of his pack an explanation the next day, which was today, about the happenin
Curtis watched the guys deliberate silently in their personal thoughts about the matter at hand, and soughed. He didn't know how he was feeling. Although he was sad that Derek was like this, he still thought the latter stupid. How could he demean his mate like that in front of such a multitude without flinching? He wasn't surprised with Emma's outburst. The girl had always been strong headed. When he had seen her at the party last night, looking all ethereal and beautiful, he had remembered that she had been the same girl he had met at one park one time. He had been trying to toast her then, before his sister had disrupted the act. Then he had thought her the most beautiful human, and it hadn't changed still. And when she had seen thrown his mate far across the room without touching the latter, he had been shocked more than annoyed, aware that the redhead wasn't a human.No matter how he thought on the matter, he knew that something had been at play, a conspiracy. But that still did
There was a deadening silence in the room at Curtis' pronouncement. Clem, for one, was very shocked. His sister had found her mate? How lucky! He thought. So, why had she gone ahead to stay with Derek? Didn't she know of Curtis?"Did you tell her?" Anthony asked, recovering from his own shock. He hadn't seen this piece of news coming. if Curtis was really right, then perhaps, there was at least a way to separate Claire from Derek. That way, there might be hope if Emma sees that Derek is still single. Perhaps, they can tell her the reason for his denial. Perhaps... Anthony sighed, even as he waited on a reply from Curtis. Emma wouldn't make it easy for them. He thought, remembering that she had said that she didn't want to see any of them."Yes, I did..." Curtis muttered, looking crestfallen all of a sudden, an outlook which already told the guys in the room what might have transpired between the duo. Clem broke the haze first."She rejected you??" He asked, the tempo of his voice risi

Lucille's fear for the beautiful man right above her, was being pushed aside by the heated tenderness of his mouth, by the gentleness in his caressing hands. He carelessly shoved the sheet that has been covering her nakedness down, exposing her bare breasts to his hungry gaze. Hot. He was so hot she could not stand the feel of the thin sheet on her heated hips, twisting around her legs. Her hands were tangled in his thick hair, crushing it in her fingers like so much silk. His shirt was open to his tapered waist, his hard muscles pressing against her soft breasts. The rough, dark hair on his chest rasped erotically over her nipples. A wave of heat heralded a storm of fire, through him, through her. Lucille's hands, of their own accord, pushed his shirt from his wide shoulders. She watched with enormous eyes as he slowly shrugged out of it, his silver gaze holding her gray ones captive. She was drowning in those pale, mesmerizing eyes. Eyes filled with such intensity, with so much hun
