Emily’s POVA sharp pain pierced through my head as I opened my eyes, and I gasped for air, my hands instinctively reaching to touch my body. "I…I’m alive," I murmured, relief flooding through me.My questing fingers brushed against the warm, solid expanse of a sizable arm wrapped firmly around my waist, and my eyes widened in shock. Slowly, I traced the limb back to its owner, my heart racing as I realized it was none other than Alpha James, sleeping soundly beside me.A startled scream threatened to tear from my throat, but before the sound could fully escape, his large hand clamped down over my mouth, his piercing gray eyes snapping open to lock onto mine."Shush, you have to calm down and listen to me," he whispered, his fingers pressing firmly against his lips in a silencing gesture. I blinked slowly, signaling my submission, and he cautiously withdrew his hand. In a sudden burst of defiance, I shoved him off the bed, watching with no small amount of satisfaction as he stumbled t
Emily’s POVWith a refreshed mood, I strode into the kitchen, the chatter among the chefs and maids instantly dying down as I entered. Ignoring their curious, sidelong glances, I swept my gaze across the room, single-minded in my search for the coffee machine.Just as I reached for a mug from the bottom drawer, a maid swiftly stepped into my path, blocking my access. "What are you doing in the kitchen?" she demanded, her tone critical. "And why didn't you greet us? Acting like you own the place, just because the Alpha has taken an interest in you."Another maid cut in, her voice rumbling with hatred. "Don't get your hopes up, dear. The Alpha is only pretending to care because of what his brother did. You are not truly his mate, you are just a nobody."I couldn't help but chuckle at their blatant hostility. "If I was truly a nobody, as you say, you wouldn't be so bothered by my presence," I responded, shoving the maid aside as I retrieved a mug. Filling it with the fresh coffee, I turn
Emily’s POVI stood there, my mouth opening and closing as I struggled to find the words. The weight of Mrs. Blackwood's gaze made it difficult to maintain my composure, and I found myself strangely unsure of how to proceed.Thankfully, Mrs. Blackwood's phone rang, saving me from having to respond. As she stepped away to take the call, James turned to me, his expression expectant."Since you know these two," he said, gesturing casually towards Robert and Jessica, "Why don't you show them around the packhouse?"I couldn't help the audible groan that escaped my lips as I rolled my eyes in frustration. "Do I have a choice?" I muttered, already dreading the prospect.James merely smirked. "No," he replied simply before striding off, leaving me to deal with the two unwelcome guests.Turning to face them, I couldn't help but notice the way Jessica’s gaze followed James, a look of pure adoration on her face. "Is he real? He…is so handsome," she murmured, almost to herself. "And beautiful. Ho
Emily’s POVWith a trembling, almost reluctant hand, I pushed open the door to the clinic, holding it steady as Nicholas carefully maneuvered the unconscious Michael inside. The beta's movements were slow and controlled as he crossed the doorway with the limp body cradled in his arms."I don't understand you, Emily," Nicholas said, shaking his head as he gently laid Michael down on the nearest bed. "After what Michael did to you, you are the last person I expected to be helping him."I felt the heat rise to my cheeks, a flush of embarrassment coloring my face as I averted my gaze from Nicholas' piercing stare. "He is still a member of this pack. I couldn't just leave him there," I murmured, my gaze drifting to Michael's battered face.Nicholas chuckled, a knowing glint in his eye. "Your good heart is why the moon goddess has chosen you as my Alpha’s mate. I just hope he is true to his heart and chooses you as his Luna."I felt my heart skip a beat at the implication, and unbidden, ima
Emily’s POV"I know you want it, stop playing hard to get, we are all going to fuck you, and you are going to love it, I promise you," Michael added with a smirk, and I could see his fangs already sticking out his mouth like he couldn’t wait to devour me."T-This is not what I wanted, I know I am attracted to the three of you, and I told you guys I couldn’t choose one of you but—" Alpha James pressed his finger against my lips, preventing me from speaking.He then seized me in a forceful motion, throwing me hastily over his broad shoulders as he began walking towards the dimly lit corner at the back of the room. The sudden movement sent a jolt of panic coursing through my veins, my heart pounding in my ears as I struggled against his iron-like grip.Once we reached the lavish bed, he roughly dropped me onto the plush surface, the force of the impact knocking the breath from my lungs. Before I could even process what was happening, he pressed his weight down on me, his muscular body ca
Emily’s POVAll of a sudden, the alphas pulled their cocks out of me. "What are you doing?" I yelled, feeling frustrated."You are not allowed to cum yet, Braveheart, not until we are done with you," Alpha James whispered in my ear."Oh, Goddess! I want to cum so badly!" I begged."Not yet," he replied, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.The alphas positioned themselves around me, and then they started rubbing their cocks against my pussy and asshole. They were teasing me, making me wait for them to fuck me again. They all shoved their dicks into my pussy and asshole at the same time, filling me and stretching me.They started moving in and out of me, their movements hard and fast. They were pounding me and fucking me like crazy, and I was loving every second of it. I was screaming and moaning and begging them to fuck me harder, to fuck me faster. I was so close to cumming, and I could feel my orgasm building up again.Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and I exploded. My whol
Emily’s POVI heard him moving closer to the tub. He was so close that I could almost feel his hot breath on the back of my neck. My body froze, and it was impossible to move."If you don't want to be sent out on the streets, then listen carefully. Your place is with me, by my side. Not with Robert, and certainly not with my brother." He moved closer to me, and the water splashed around me. "Now turn around." He commanded.My heart was pounding, and my breathing was heavy, but I did as he told me. Slowly, I turned to face him, and for the first time, I was able to fully see him. He was so handsome. His short, jet-black hair was combed back, as were his sharp jaw and chin, his perfectly trimmed stubble, and his most captivating hazel eyes. His full, luscious lips were slightly open as he gazed at me.His muscled chest was bare, and his pants hung low on his hips. A light layer of dark hair covered his pecs, and a trail of hair ran down his hard abs and disappeared under his pants."Mic
Alpha James’s POVThe classical music played loudly, the rising and falling of the volume creating a feeling of importance and seriousness. I stood before the mirror, my gaze fixed on the pristine white Alpha robe that adorned my body, a maid fussing over the final adjustments."There, all ready to go, Alpha," she giggled, her cheeks flushed as she stepped back to admire her handiwork.I nodded my thanks, my mind already turning to the task at hand. The coronation had begun, and the pack members were waiting for me downstairs. This was the moment I had been preparing for, the result of years of hard work and dedication.As the maid exited the room, Nicholas entered, wheeling my grandfather in a wheelchair. My grandfather, dressed in an expensive tuxedo, looked frail and ill, the effects of his cancer were plainly visible.I rushed to his side, dropping to my knees before him. "Nicholas, why are you the one bringing my grandfather?" I demanded, my brow furrowing.The beta avoided my ga
Emily’s POVThree months had passed since that fateful night, and as I sat before the decorative dressing mirror, my heart raced with a combination of excitement and anxiety. Sarah and Mrs. Blackwood hovered around me, meticulously arranging my veil and fussing over the details of my gown."You are stressing me out, you two!" I huffed, rolling my eyes. "The maids could have finished this just fine, but no, you had to step in."Sarah hissed, gently smoothing the delicate lace. "Nonsense! I promised I would help with your wedding prep, and I'm not backing down now." Her warm smile was a far cry from the cold indifference she had once shown me. "After all, I have been your mother since middle school, Emmy."I had to fight back the tears that threatened to spill, staining my carefully applied makeup. I had promised myself I wouldn't cry today, this was my moment to beam with joy as I walked down the aisle to my beloved James.A soft knock at the door announced a new arrival, and I looked
Emily’s POV"Now it's your turn to have fun," James said as he guided me to the bed and made me lay down on the bed on my back.My mate came on top of me and started kissing, pushing his tongue as far as it would go into my mouth while rubbing his hand all over my tits with his hand. With him on top of me, my breasts and nipples rubbed against his hard chest as their hands worked up and down my naked body. James moved his head down my body, licking at my breasts, sucking my nipples, and nibbling at my stomach and torso as he lowered down between my legs. He pulled me to the edge of the bed as he got on his knees with his face between my legs, then held the waistband of my panties and pulled them down from my waist.I arched my back off the bed so he could slide my panties off my waist and out of my legs. He took a hold of my leg and placed it on his shoulder, with my flower exposed to his view. I blushed sheepishly, knowing he could see my wet pussy.I gasped, and my whole body tense
Emily’s POVFour days had passed since I had come running back to the Demontail Packhouse, my heart's only desire to reunite with my beloved James. And now, I found myself pacing anxiously outside the private clinic room, my fingers wringing together as I expected news of Winston's condition.The surgery had been underway for hours, and my legs ached from the endless watch. Sinking to my knees, I stared at the wooden door, silently willing it to open to bring me news of my son's wellbeing.The soft fall of footsteps had me glancing up, and I felt my breath catch in my throat as James approached, his warm gaze finding mine. Wordlessly, he dropped down beside me, wrapping a comforting arm around my shoulders and pressing a tender kiss to my cheek."How is the surgery going?" he murmured, his voice filled with concern.I shook my head helplessly. "I don't know yet, but I can't think straight."Giving my hand a reassuring squeeze, James met my gaze steadily. "Our son is going to be alrigh
Emily’s POVI couldn't control the steady stream of tears that fell down my cheeks as Robert encircled me in a comforting hug. I stood before my grandfather's freshly dug grave, the cold October wind whipping through the funeral hall as mourners gathered behind me.So many unfamiliar faces had come to pay their respects, yet my focus remained fixed only on the ornate casket that held my beloved grandfather's earthly remains. I remembered the last time he had hired bodyguards to protect me from Robert and couldn't help but wonder what had become of them.My grandfather had been the father I had never truly known, the one who had scolded my own father for cruelly chasing me out, who had showered me with affection and sympathy. It was that very favoritism that had driven the block between us, my father's hatred decaying like a poison.Robert's hand gently guided me as I placed the bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, my grandfather's favorite flowers, on top the casket. I tried to pull away, d
Alpha James’s POVI refused to accept Emily's rejection, I couldn’t. Rising to my feet, I chased after her, reaching out to grasp her hand. But she yanked it free, turning to face me. Her gaze was thoughtfully averted, her shoulders tense."Is it true?" I demanded, and my heart slammed against my ribcage with alarming force. "Tell me you were just joking, that you don't mean it."Emily's lips thinned into a tight line. "Denial won't solve anything. I'm sorry for leading you on before when you were just regaining your senses. The doctor said you needed love and guidance, but I'm done with you and Michael. I want nothing more to do with either of you." Her doctor said you needed love and guidance, but I'm done with you and Michael. voice remained surprisingly calm despite the heartbreak. "Thank you for coming back for me, but I didn’t really need your help."Hot tears glistened in her eyes as she spoke, her voice spiked with a finality that pierced me to the core. "It's better if you r
Alpha James's POVThe minutes went by like an eternity as the noxious gas finally began to clear from the packhouse. Michael and I were left crawling on the hard floor, our bodies smashed with weakness.Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps reached my ears. Summoning the last of my strength, I lifted my gaze to see Marcus striding towards us, his face covered by a protective mask."You could have prevented all this," he remarked, squatting down in front of me. "If only you had come to me earlier and made a deal."He leaned in closer, his foul breath fanning across my face. "But now that the gas is out there, wiping out the rest of your pack...you are going to tell me where all the money is."I struggled to push myself up, glaring defiantly at him. "I will tell you nothing, prick. My pack is ruined, damaged beyond repair. I have nothing left to return to." I spat the words with frustration. "I hate you more than life itself. I will take pleasure in killing you and tasting your b
Author’s POVThe first crow's call pierced the pre-dawn air, awakening the Demontail Pack members from their sleep. In the campsite, warriors sharpened their weapons, readying themselves for the coming war.Sarah, Mrs. Blackwood, and Geneva worked in the kitchen, distributing the precious cure to the waiting pack members. The bitter liquid elicited comical expressions as it was consumed, but the urgency of their job allowed no room for fun."The alpha and the warriors at the lake need some cure too!" A warrior shouted, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.Geneva gathered some glasses onto a tray in her hand and shouted back. "I’m on it!"She rushed outside the border of the campsite towards the lake, where Alpha James and the other warriors were bathing naked. The sun was beaming and directing down rays on the water, making it shine and sparkle as she approached. The other warriors were splashing around, having a good time, as they laughed and joked. She couldn't help but sta
Author's POVThe lush greenery of the park surrounded Emily and Jessica as they sat side by side on the bench, their children playing melodiously on the grassy floor. Jessica's voice was abnormally soft as she addressed the youngsters."You are all family now, so no fighting or bullying, alright?"The twins and Winston looked up in surprise but quickly resumed their game, sharing toys and laughter. Emily felt tears well in her eyes as she watched the kids play, Jessica's words stirring up emotions she had long suppressed.Sensing her distress, Jessica turned to her, her expression somber. "Um, I know the past five years have been hard on you," she murmured. "The bullying, the loneliness—even my own mother didn't shed a tear for me when I was brutally raped by those rogue wolves. She made it look like it was my fault, I got kidnapped and she told me to get rid of the twins."Emily opened her mouth to respond, but Jessica raised a hand, silencing her. Slowly, she slid off the bench, kne
Author’s POVThe once-lively park now sat in a sad, strange silence, different from the carefree days of the past. Emily gazed around the unhappy surroundings, her eyes resting on her son, who sat beside her on the bench, completely engrossed in playing with the Spiderman figurines Robert had given him.A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she watched him, so oblivious to the darkness that had fallen upon their pack. Reaching into her pocket, she withdrew the phone and wanted poster she'd borrowed from the daycare. Emily’s own face stared back at her, a stupid reminder that she was now a wanted criminal in her pack.Fingers trembling slightly, she dialed the Packhouse landline number printed at the bottom, her heart pounding against her ribs like a hammer as the line rang. On the second ring, a familiar voice answered."Carol, it's me, Emily!" She shouted urgently. "I need you to give the phone to your husband; I have some information for him!"But Carol's response was strong. "N
