She rushes out to investigate, and she nearly drops to the ground in fainting.Mathew has come back to the pack. She can't believe it.Maybe she is dreaming? Has she started seeing things?She walks out slowly, her eyes unblinking as she takes slow, tentative steps towards him, as though scared he might suddenly disappear if she made too much noise.He stares back at her, and he looks almost angelic standing among the flowers in the yard, partially illuminated by the night lights.She makes a point of wiping her facial expression as she gets nearer to him. She would like to tell him how relieved she is to see him, to see he is alive and well. She would like to let him know how empty the pack feels for her since his departure from it. She would like to tell him that she has missed him and would like nothing better than to have him hold her in his arms until she has melted.But she opens her mouth and all that comes out is..."What was that noise?"She can see the door disappoinment in
Emily doesn't know why Mathew's words makes her feel helpless, like he has finally made it clear that their relationship will never ever be redeemed. Not that she expected it to be redeemed, it just hurts and she can't explain why.Every time she believes she is finally getting over the breakup with Mathew, something happens that proves her otherwise.She is probably the only person Mathew has ever loved so he must truly be going through something close to what Emily feels. Weirdly enough, the thought is satisfying.Hearing no response from her, Mathew decides she might not like what he has suggested so he gropes around for something else to say."I noticed you take good care of our little cottage. Made me happy because she place meant so much to me."Our little cottage? Our? Is he kidding right now? He is behaving like the two of them shared so much more than Emily is currently aware of. "Just stop it. I will not allow you to do that to me. And may I know what you are doing here?""I
It is almost as though Mathew was waiting for her. He might have sensed her presence because he opens the door before her hand drops to her side after knocking."Hey," he says quietly, and she doesn't miss the way his gaze slides rapidly over her figure.She is glad she dressed up this well, confident in her looks even as he checks her out."Hey." She responds, giving his body a quick glance as well. He is dressed up, as though ready to go out of the pack, and she is suddenly saddened at the thought.She would like to see him in the pack all the time, whether or not they end up back together."Do you want to come in?" She remembers to put a stern expression on her face and folds her arms across her chest."No. But I I want to know why you never thought it was necessary to tell me that Alpha Marcus was married, when you knew fully well that he was. Did you really want to hide every single thing, even things that were not necessary, from me?"Mathew rubs his face vigorously, then heave
"Yes, I found out on my own, thank you very much. And yes, the relationship did not continue, it couldn't continue, obviously, because I am not a slut."Did you miss me? Mathew would like to ask. She should miss him. He isn't buying that she followed him here just to ask him about the Alpha being a married man. He believes she came here because she misses him."That's sad. Emily, do come into the house. We will talk better from there."He will be able to seduce her better.To his utter disappoinment, she refuses."No, thank you, Mathew I just did what I wanted to do and I am going back now. Goodbye."She leaves without saying another word, not letting him say another word either, and he mourns the loss of her. Sad to say but he feels complete every time she is near him and he began fantasizing holding her in his arms.Now she has left as quickly as she has come and it hurts him. Perhaps he should move on. But can he do it? He shouldn't have rushed to tell her that she was right in tel
The morning sun shines through the colourful, transparent curtains of Marcus's bedroom. He opens his eyes and stares at his beautiful wife.God, he likes her, he really does. The problem is that the person he loves is her sister.He has tried to control himself and stay away from Gianna but it proves to be almost impossible. He is defeated everytime she seduces him. He has great sex with his wife, but the fact is that it feels way better with Gianna.People call her a pack slut, but none of them know that the reason she sleeps around is because she wishes to make him, Marcus, jealous. And she succeeds. He hates seeing her with other men, at times even wishing there was a way he could marry her so he can claim her as his and tie her to him and stop that pretty thing from thinking she is free to cheat on him.But he can't marry her for fear of hurting her sister.Marriage is a scam. How come he is married yet he fell so deeply in love with another woman? It doesn't make sense at all.Fe
Marcus never imagined he would resort to this.The day when he told off Alpha Jack and claimed he wanted to protect Emily, he had not lied. He believed he would do anything to protect her, and not just because the pack would get suspicious by her sudden disappearance.She had something he could only dream of, and he wasn't eager to let her go.But now, there is no other way to save himself, to save his title. There's no other way to get back what rightfully belongs to him. And the fact that Mathew is no longer in the pack will make his job easier.Emily is gifted, almost as much as Mathew is, but she doesn't know it so Marcus is going to take advantage of that before it gets too late.He tells his wife what he is going to do, but she protests at first. After minutes of trying to make her see why it is important to carry out the plan, she agrees, grudgingly, of course. Becky, unlike her sister is a pathetically weak woman and that is one of the things Marcus dislikes about her.It tak
For the past days since he left White wolf pack, Mathew has avoided living at the house he bought in River Oaks, choosing to live at the hotel instead.The house is just too big and gloomy, plus it brings back some bad memories. His heart aches badly. All he wants is to have Emily back and if he didn't live such a complicated life, he would do anything in his power to get her back.He would beg and do whatever she wanted until she was back in his arms, but now all he can do is sit in this damned hotel and avoid her and nurse his broken heart.He never thought love was this powerful to make his life even more miserable than it has ever been before.He sits down and goes through all the reasons he cannot be with her, all the reasons it would be pointless to mend their relationship and make her his wife.All problems that can't be solved. But he thinks it is worth it to give it a try. It is foolish to do what he is about to do, but there is nothing else for him to do if he is to have her
After freeing Mathew, having him sit down on a chair and given a glass of water to restore the color that had drained from his face, Emily listens to the story of Mathew's past from one of the old men standing with her.And it is a story she would not have imagined, leaving her weak in the knees at the end of it.The interesting thing is that there are two versions of the story, one from the old men. Mathew also has his own version of the story. This is the story according to the old men.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Mathew's parents were born of the Alpha and Luna of a certain pack, the Crescent Wolf pack. It was one of the few packs that had decided to live in isolation from the other packs, living among humans and hiding in plain sight.The wolves blended in with the humans, found human jobs to sustain their families and visited their Alpha whenever they were in need of him, their Alpha who had built a house in River Oaks.Among the wolves that visited the Alpha for assistance was a young w
