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
"The wolves had started a protest. Things are getting out of hand." This solicits a from on Emily's face."protesting about what what?" The man faces the ground. "I think you should go and check for yourself. I don't think I am the right person to explain this.""What do you mean you are not the right person to say this? You came to me with the information, and then you are telling me you are not the right person to explain it!"She stares at the man for a moment, then makes am exasperated sound before rushing to the pack house.True to the man's words, there is chaos in the pack house. The walls, starting from the kitchen, have been scribbled in ink, large, many colored letters that makes it hard for anyone not to notice them. Emily gasps as she reads the same words repeated over and over."Marcus must step down, we want our true Alpha.""You have seen now? The people started doing this earlier in the day and no one could stop them because the Alpha went out. He has just come back a
"I choose Mathew, of course." She hears a sharp intake of breath from the Alpha. Like honestly, did he expect she would choose him over her own boyfriend? She would have to be mad to do that."There, you have it. Now kindly leave her alone from now on!" Mathew says to the Alpha. Grabbing Emily's hand, he walks away from the place, dragging her behind him.The Alpha watches after them with a weird angry expression on his face, his lips tightening. He lets out a low growl, then leaves on the opposite direction from where Emily and Mathew have gone.For him, this isn't over yet.He will deal with Mathew, and by the time he is done with him, he won't want to show his face again in the pack.Mathew has messed with him long enough.After having breakfast, Mathew takes a curious Emily for a ride, refusing to tell her even when she demands to know where they are going."Just trust me, baby," he says. ""Okay," she says. "I will wait patiently. In the meantime, you are going to tell me somethi
Emily straightens up immediately, no longer feeling the burning from the chains.Mathew is actually here, in all his handsome glory. He is not dead, she knew it! He has never looked more alive, except that he looks so pissed it will be a miracle if a life is not lost before they leave this place.He gives the chains a tap and Emily is instantly free. She immediately throws herself at him, surprising both herself and him by breaking into noisy sobs."Mathew, I was told you were dead. I met Travis, he...he got burned and died. I was almost raped, twice in the same day. I am so sorry, Mathew, there is no way to prove that you are innocent now, Jack is as good as dead his soul has been sucked out of him..."Mathew holds her head against his shoulder, murmuring quietly to her."It's okay, it's okay now. Breath. You will tell me everything that happened later, baby girl. Just relax."At the closeness of him and his scent, she starts to feel her wolf awaken, and soon, the wounds on her body b
Seeing the look of defeat on Jack's face (it maybe a fake look but it's still there and it can only mean one thing; he is coming with her) Emily holds out her hand to touch him so they should leave."Wait. I need you to take me to a certain pack first. There's a man there, and I consider him as a father. Please, allow me to let him know that I have been caught."Emily frowns."What?""I mean, I will go with you, but allow me to visit the old man before I go. He is like a dad to me."Emily stares at the man that hurt her so much, and her heart fills with hatred. He didn't just hurt her, he hurt Mathew as well, killed people and put the blame on him, resulting in Mathew living in hiding for so many years. Living a miserable life.She would like to see him rot in some enclosed space."Please. You are too powerful for me to do anything to harm you, so I don't think you need to worry about that. I really need to see the old man."He is right, he can't hurt her. And Emily is curious to see w
The scream seems to have attracted someone's attention, because Emily hears food steps rush towards the room before someone swings the door open, only for them to stand frozen by the door.Travis jumps from the bed, stares around as though in confusion for a moment, then he raises a hand, gesturing for the two people at the door to come inside the room."What happened to me?"Instead of answering, Anna and Jack only shake, knowing their end is sniffing at their heels.How did he wake from an enchanted sleep?Then Jack steps forward."My Lord, we have no idea what happened to you. We tried waking you after we brought in the young woman you sent me to fetch for you."Well, he will make up to Emily later, right now it is more important to save his ass from the demon lord, as his eyes have started turning a dangerous red glow, showing his anger.The hair of every person in the room stands on end, fear instilled in their hearts, because the demon lord, Travis, is more upset than he has ever
Roused to fresh alertness, Tara's eyes go round and her mouth gape open. She looks shocked, so much that Emily starts to feels she is ringing the bell before time.Mathew might not be in any kind of trouble and she is getting paranoid.She is about to say this to Tara when her phone rings, and in her eagerness to answer it, Emily almost drops it. A strange number is calling. Thinking it is Mathew calling to inform her that he lost his phone or something, Emily presses the answer button hastily."Hello?"The words that come from the other end chills her to the bone."Are you related to Mathew? We don't know his last name and that is all he's been able to utter just before he died. We found your number on his phone and decided to call you because you are the person he seemed to communicate a lot with."In this moment, the world comes to an abrupt halt. Emily fails to believe it. She fails to breathe.Mathew, dead? She feels a funny ringing in her ear, and an unbearable lightheadedness
There is a blank expression on Gianna's face, but on Becky's, shock is written all over it. "What?" Becky asks, looking genuinely surprised."Hey, what are you getting surprised about? Isn't this the family you came to search for when you lost your mate that time?" Gianna says to her sister, who still has a puzzled expression on her face."What are you saying?" Becky says, whipping around to look at her sister. "Are you implying that we are related to this girl?"Even Gianna has a baffled look on her face now, matching Emily's."Come on, Beck, we were together when we decided to look for the existing relatives of our parents because they wouldn't tell us shit about them, remember? They isolated themselves from their family and we found out our closest living relatives were Alphas in this pack? Don't you remember?""Hey, we found out they died...shit...is this the daughter of our dead relatives?"Gianna rolls her eyes to the ceiling."Who did you think she was, Beck? It has always been
Mathew laughs and shakes his head."I believe I am the husband you are referring to because, no matter what, I am the one who is going to end up with you...""You are so confident...""...And when that happens, I will never cheat on you. You are the only girl I have ever loved and the only girl I will continue to love till the time I will retire from this Earth, so me cheating on you? No chance, madam Alpha."The words sound so sweet and sincere that Emily doesn't dare argue. She swallows and looks nervously into his silver grey eyes, then a sudden thought enters her head."Mathew, what was the original color of your eyes? Your hair too. You said you changed them when you started hiding from those people.""Of course you want to know."As he says this, Mathew closes his eyes shut, then blinks them several times. When he looks at her, she takes a sharp intake of breath.She has never seen this version of green eyes before. They captivate your attention and hold it, making you get lost i
Even though Becky's parents were upset at first for what Marcus had done, they agreed that Marcus had saved their daughter's life by marking her immediately she lost her mate, and they let him keep their daughter in the end.Becky and her family got to know that the Alpha and Luna of White Wolf pack died a long time ago and that, by marrying Marcus, Becky would be the new Luna. Her ambitious father was so thrilled by the news, but soon disappointment washed over him and Becky because they discovered Marcus was just a makeshift Alpha and not the real one, that the pack secretly anticipated the return of the Alpha's daughter to take the position. However, as the years went by without any sign of the girl returning, the father and daughter had hope that Becky would be the Luna forever.A year into her marriage, Becky received a call from her sister, asking if she could come live with her because she had been thrown out of the house at home.Despite Becky having been their parents' favouri
The information puzzles Emily so much that she feels like wringing the answers from Mathew.She waits with forced patience while he sits down and stares at her face, and then he starts talking again."I was just as puzzled when I read that piece of information. So I asked Gianna what she meant by it, and she explained."~According to Mathew, Gianna and Becky are sisters and they are daughters of an Alpha couple somewhere in New York.As the diary indicates, Gianna is the older sister but had always felt like their parents did not like her, like they liked Becky more.Gianna was the pretty one, they would say, and Becky was the smart one. The parents also pointed out how Gianna had no talent at all, all that she prided in were her looks. Oftentimes, she was treated like the younger sister even though she was more than three years older than Becky. Since she was always made to feel inferior at home, she went out to seek validation elsewhere. She slept with lots of men just to feel usefu
Emily watches Mathew eat for a moment and when he looks at her, raising one of his thick brows, she sighs and drops her gaze."Didn't your parents ever tell you it was rude to stare?" He jokes, but Emily doesn't smile."That's not funny, I don't have parents," she says in a quiet voice.She is still irritable, he can see that. He knows her parents are no more, it was just a joke, and doesn't she know that Mathew's own parents have been missing from his life since he was a baby? They might not have been dead in the actual sense but they were to him.Nevertheless, he apologizes, then asks;"What made you irritable? Still mad at me?""Wha... no, I am not mad at you, I am just having a crappy day.""Any reason that is happening?"She sighs again. "Oh, Mathew, do not think I am crazy, but have you ever slept with Gianna without using protection?"He gets confused and it shows on his face. He places his fork down, then takes some juice before bringing his attention back to her."Where has th
