Alexander POV "Find her!" I roared. "Find her now!" How could I have let her slip from my hands!? I was furious, beyond upset that Emily managed to get away. Where has she gone? Where did she hide all these years, and how was she able to block off her scent? "Her wolf blocked me," Ghost said. "She's strong. She might even be stronger than us." "You are a snow wolf, Ghost," I said, turning my attention to him. "No wolf can compare to you." "Except fire wolves," he said, taking a seat in my mind. "They are extinct," I said. "The chance of her being one is extremely slim. That would mean she has Lycan blood in her system." "Think about it," Ghost said. "I could feel her wolf, but she didn't have one. She must have shifted after she left." "Do you think my father expected that?" I asked. "Well, he believed she was a late bloomer," Ghost replied. It did make sense, but did her parents know? I sat back in my office chair, thinking. Emily's parents weren't too concerned about
Emily's POV "You have got to be kidding me," I sneered, reading the information on the report Xavier gave me. "What's wrong?" He asked, taken aback by my sudden mood change. "You are telling me that the Opal Pack is part of this attack?" I growled. It had been a week since I saw and danced with Alex in the club, and as much as I tried to fight my unwanted feelings, my mind kept drifting back to him. Willow helped me escape the club undetected while some woman distracted Alex; I wasn't ready to face him. Now, it seems impossible to hide any further. I would be living in the club and surrounding areas until my mission was complete. "Not particularly," Xavier said. "My informant just states that whoever is responsible, likes using the Tango club as their base." "Is Alpha Black part of the scheme?" I asked, feeling my blood boil inside my veins. If he was, I would personally rip him to shreds and make sure Lex would never know Alex was his father. "We are not sure," Xavier said wi
Emily's POV I silently waited for Alex in his office. I was in no mood for a casual chit-chat, but I had come to warn him. My hands balled into fists, thinking of what he did, and the muscles in my jaw tightened. I was furious into oblivion. How dare he threaten my family and friends! How dare he target Mila! My gaze snapped toward the entrance of the club, seeing the bouncers standing at the door, letting people in. I got in quite easily, with Mila's help, of course. It was Friday night, and the club would be buzzing with hundreds of people soon. A small smile followed on my lips. I left something for Alex's wolf at the front door; it would drive him crazy. I sat back, tapping my fingers on the small side table, standing against the window. Alex might not see me here, but I would be able to see him. My gaze moved to the sea of people below; some were already intoxicated and were swaying from side to side on the dance floor. It was quite interesting watching from the top; i
Alexander POV "What are you talking about?" I snapped. Luke gestured to the corner of the office, yet I didn't see anyone. Was he going nuts? Or am I blind? I lift my nose into the air, taking a deep whiff. My body stiffened when I noticed the soft, almost nonexistent rose scent lingering in the air; it was the same smell that triggered Ghost when I entered the club. Ghost howled and scratched to be released, yet I pushed him aside and blocked him off. "Emily," I internally muttered to myself, and the next second she walked out of the shadows as if I had called her. "She came!" I heard Ghost appear excitedly in my mind. Emily's face was hidden behind the same black mask she wore the night I asked her to dance. Yet, I couldn't help noticing the coldness in her eyes staring back at me. "Alpha Black," she said, crossing her arms around her chest defensively. "Call me Alex," I said, trying to lighten the mood. Emily glared at me with so much anger that I couldn't help but st
Emily's POV A week flew past quickly, and I found myself on my way to the Opal Pack territory. I needed to keep my promise to Alex; he expected to be visited, and I wasn't going to go back on my word. I felt quite excited about seeing him, and I couldn't wait to see the joy in his eyes when he noticed me. On my last visit to the club, it became unbearable to stay any longer; I had a hard time focusing. Alex's intoxicated apple crumble scent was driving me wild inside. It urged me to touch him, feel him, and hear him. My thoughts had spiraled out of control, and my hormones were happily adding to my dilemma. Thank the Goddess, Willow could hide my scent; otherwise, we would have ended up on the office table f*cking each other's brains out. I sighed. Willow didn't help much either; she added to the discomfort. She kept on whimpering and whining in my mind, wanting to let Alex's wolf connect with her. "Ghost is begging for me to answer him," Willow said. "He is scratching and h
Alexander POV "Alpha!" One of the border patrol guards mind-linked. "We have picked up an unknown scent crossing the border." "How many?" I asked, dropping my pen on my desk. I was working through the pack report. "Only one, Alpha," he replied, sounding worried. "That's odd," Ghost said. "The rogues usually attack in numbers." "I know," I said, finding the situation confusing. "Maybe they have sent only one rogue to create a diversion." "We need to sound the alarm and have every warrior ready to protect the pack," Ghost said, and started pacing up and down my mind, ready to rip anyone who dared cross our boundary to pieces. "Agreed!" I growled. In the last four years, the pack has suffered the loss of over thirty pack members due to rogue attacks; none of their bodies were recovered. That made me believe that the rogues might have taken them hostage for some odd reason. "Sound the alarm and get all the women and children to the safe house," I ordered. "I don't want any casua
Emily's POVAlex's body and scent had hypnotized me, and I couldn't force my eyes away from his perfectly sculpted body.I wanted him.I wanted to taste him.I wanted to feel him inside me.I wanted him so much that the desire to have him burned deep inside my core.My juices spilled over, running down my legs.I had only pulled a black shirt over my head, knowing it would cover all of me. I never expected to be blindsided by the mate bond, and Alex's scent.My gaze snapped at Alex opening his arms to me, and I took an unwilling step forward.The bond was making me feel things and want things that were out of my reach.My insides clenched, seeing his precome glitter in the dim light. His manhood is already standing vertically, ready for my touch.Was it wrong of me to just want to taste it?Another step closer, and I could already imagine feeling Alex's hands moving down my back, his cock buried deep inside me as I rode him as if there was no tomorrow.Doing the deed with your mate wa
Emily's POVThe beeping sound of the heart monitor was driving me insane, and Alex had been unconscious for almost eighteen hours. I was pacing up and down like a mad woman, worried that something serious was wrong with Alex."How is he?" Luke asked, entering the infirmary room. He was running the pack in Alex's absence.It spread like wildfire that Alex was in the hospital, and before long, his room spilled over with flowers and get-well-soon cards.The pack members loved him, and it made me so proud, but that didn't calm my nerves. He lay way too still for my liking on the hospital bed, and even his scent had lost its intoxication."The doctor says that Alex will wake up soon," I replied, yet I didn't believe a word I had just uttered. "His body is just taking the needed rest to heal himself.""Mmm," Luke said, pulling a sour face. "Alpha hasn't slept much the last couple of weeks. It is expected that he will take the needed rest."I flinched upon hearing the hidden messages behind
