"Really, Emily? I bet you do not even mean that, do you?" Ella's face registers how hurt she is as she asks this, but Emily's face is unrepentant. She might feel a tiny ounce of guiltiness, but it is important that she put people, no matter who they are, in their place. She is no longer the Emily that Ella and their other friend were used to back in Welcome, the Emily who got swayed by everything and convinced to do anything. A lot of things have changed in her life and she has changed right along with them."Don't get me wrong," she explains. "I am not driving you away as a friend, I still like you a lot, but it is important to remember that we are all grown now and our priorities are changing. I wasn't very impressed with what you did earlier.""I heard. And you know what? I can't stand you when you get like that. There's even no way I am going to talk to you because you seem so irritable. Let me just leave."Instead of encouraging her to stay, Emily wishes Ella a safe journey, somet
It is tempting to end Jack's life, very tempting, as it has been quite some time since Travis fed on the soul of a werewolf. As soon as he discovered Emily is not in the house, he thought he has been lied to, and it's not the first time Jack has lied to him. But hearing him talk about bringing Emily like he is confident he would do it makes him pause to consider. He is going to be given the chance, but one more of the games and it will be the last time. He is getting killed."The moment you fail to bring her to me, you are dead.""No need to say that," Jack finds himself saying nervously. That doesn't soun like a joke. Despite being brave enough to talk to Travis, Jack is kind of terrified of him. He has to admit that he was surprised when he saw Travis himself arrive when he expected to be found by only by a servant. Shows how much he wants Emily, and Jack is there to make sure he gets exactly that.His life is falling apart and he would rather scramble to please Travis than anythin
Jack stands by the window of the trailer, heaving a long sigh that he had no idea he was holding.The demon lord has left at last. What on earth was he even thinking, reaching out to the demon lord again? He will get himself killed one of these days, and he loves his life dearly.If he doesn't get him the girl, death is inevitable for him. What a fix he has gotten himself into. To make things even more complicated, he doesn't think he is ready to part ways with Emily, after all. The slight changes that have come about her didn't escape his notice as soon as she arrived, Jack felt his heart beat wildly in his chest. While she was busy demanding for rejection, he was looking at her body; the way she has slightly gained weight, making her womanly curves (that already used to draw attention from the opposite sex) more prominent, her skin is also glowing a bit more than he remembers it.Not to mention the girl, as a whole, has changed drastically. She oozes a bit more confidence, seeming m
When he had taken the trouble to look for the scattered pack members and bring them to live together in the trailer park, Jack had thought he had solved half his problems. But they soon realized that, like always, their Alpha proved to be useless, and now most of the wolves are pissed; they told him so the time they left the trailer park to go and live in their previous homes among the humans.And now, only a few wolf families remain. Even those, the failure to quickly find affordable houses to rent is what is keeping them. They are bound to leave once they have find the right places, and then Jack will be alone and lonely once more.But before that happens, he is going to set his plans in motion. Soon, he will have a lot of money and a nice family with his beautiful mate. He ignores his wolf when he reminds him that Emily is no longer theirs, that he lost her the moment he behaved like a lunatic and attacked her parents, and then tried to grab the trailer park. If there had been any c
Emily has almost successfully made her way to her room to change her clothes when she bumps into the two girls that had once complained to her about Marcus's uncle trying to force himself on one of them. Tara, that is one of their names, if she is not mistaken."Hi girls," she says trying to make the lack of interest in conversing with them evident in her voice. "How may I be of help to you this time?"Emily notices, with a sinking feeling, that Tara's eyes are filled with tears. She doesn't want to find out why she is crying, but at the same time, curiosity won't give her peace."What happened to her?" she whispers. "Are you happy now? The man has succeeded! He broke down her door and had his way with her body last night! Are you happy now?"The grey eyed woman screams at Emily, whose eyes go wide with shock. He had his way with her...does that mean the Alpha's Uncle that they had talked about the other day? Whoever it was that offended the girls, how does it concern Emily? The woman
This gesture comes as a surprise to Marcus, whose eyes light up as his mind runs through the list of possibilities of why Emily has decided to be this nice to him. Is there a chance she is beginning to warm up to him, after all? Perhaps she has come to realize Mathew might be living a fake life and decided to make a beeline for it.True to her words, Emily accompanies him to the dining room and provides entertainment in form of conversation."So, where have you been? I looked everywhere for you and didn't find you."That sounds like a wife demanding to know her husband's whereabouts, a jealous wife. He likes it."To do the usual boring things, you know, work and stuff.""Okay."Even though Emily knows it is rude to stare directly at someone when they are eating, she can't help herself. Marcus doesn't seem to mind so she feeds her sight with his gorgeous presence. Marcus is really blessed in terms of looks, so much that Emily marvels every time she looks at him. He is a graceful man, ev
"You see, most of the people dislike you in this pack, and I would like to find out why." Emily says, her face grave."They do? But of course, if a leader is loved by many it only means they are not great at what they do. People hate good leaders. I am doing a great job if they hate me," he pauses for a second before adding, "And don't, for a moment, think I am not aware of the dislike the wolves have towards me. I do, I just don't care.""Right," she nods her head. "So, back to the the topic I started earlier..."The disappointment is visible on Marcus's face. And she knows why he's suddenly feeling disappointed. He thought she served him food and sat with him because she has started considering a serious relationship with him, or something like that. No, sir. She is only acting out of a guilty conscience, to try and ensure the safety of the young women in the pack, even if she might not be willing to take on the full job. If the she wolves without their direct family members in the p
Long after he has emptied himself inside her, Mathew stands there holding Emily ( who has her face buried against his shoulder) tightly against him. He has had sex countless times but nothing has ever come close to this, and he wonders what this little woman has done to him. She is making him lose his sanity. He knows for sure he has strong enough feelings to marry her, and the thought of waking up to the cheerful face of this beautiful young woman fills him with happiness.Except he can't marry her and it is not because of selfishness but something he can't help at all.He hopes she won't expect him to marry her soon after this.He shakes her a bit then says,"Hey, baby, have you gone to sleep?""I am awake," her voice sounds muffled because her face is still buried against his shoulder."This is not what I planned for our first time, but I couldn't help myself. Next time it will be better and in a five star hotel. Forgive me," he apologizes."I am not complaining," she says. "Anywhe
