Even though Mathew meant his words when he said he wasn't good enough for Emily, he still feels lost.He had gotten so used to being with her, always excited to see her when he went out of the pack, but now there's just nothing to go back there for.He should be pleased, since he has always thought about leaving the pack for good some day, except he is not. Emily had become the light in his gloomy world, a promise at happiness, helping him to forget that he lives a fake, miserable life. Everything about him is fake, and he hates it.Now he is back to living a life without hope, but there is nothing he can do. He keeps hurting the girl and she has enough problems and trauma in her life without him adding more. If he is hurting her like this when she knows nothing about him, he can't imagine the pain she would go through if she found out exactly who he is.Despite making a clear decision to cut things off with her for good, he still wants to see her. He keeps checking his W******p to se
Oblivious to the appearance and disappearance of her ex boyfriend, Emily let's Marcus kiss her. She sits on his lap, legs draped on either side of him, and that hurts Mathew beyond repair.Is this the reason why she overreacted over their small fight? She jumped to break up with him when all he asked was to have her explain how she happened to have flowers and a ring in a bin. She must have done it to get him out of the way so she could create space for Marcus in her life.And then he sealed everything by agreeing to her decision.Well, it is probably for the best. If he wants to please a woman, even in the future, if he gets lucky enough to love another one, he will find out as much as he can about how to please a woman because he is sadly lacking in that department.He has lost her for good.And now he has to leave, never to return again.~Marcus is sitting on a bench with Emily on his lap, making out with her. He kisses Emily's face, ears and neck, intent on making her as turned on
The woman is no other than Gianna, and Emily wonders why she is butt hurt about a man who is not even hers. She is overreacting. Nevertheless, she has killed the romantic mood between her and Marcus.She stands up from his lap and gives him a stern glance."You two have a lot of unresolved issues. Sort them out before you think of persuading any woman to be with you.""Emily..." he tries to call her her back, but she walks away, pulling her skirt down as she does so."Shit," he facepalms himself, then turns to glare at Gianna. "You stay away from my business. I don't owe you explanations and I certainly don't appreciate your lectures...""I will talk because it is not right that you..."She is interrupted swiftly. "Shut it. It is not like you are saintly yourself. Imagine the betrayal if your sister found out what you did."Enraged, Gianna fumes silently, knowing that the idiot has won, again. The truth is, the only thing driving her is jealousy, not morals or anything. She is a person
Marcus leaves Emily to prepare for the day ahead of them, and she takes her time choosing the best outfit to wear. She needs to do some shopping, and she only remembers this whenever it is time for a change of clothes.She has finished taking a shower when she hears a knock at the door and, sniffing the air, she realizes it is Tara.What does she want now? Emily is running out of time and definitely has none to spare for a chitchat. Nevertheless, she goes to open the door because she knows Tara can tell she is in the room."What is it, Tara?" she goes back to the bed to continue applying lotion, Tara closing the door and following her."Are you going somewhere?" Tara enquires, and Emily looks at her to try and see if she can work out what this is all about from her expression. She is talking in a casual tone but with detective's eyes. Which means she wants to find out something but isn't courageous enough to ask her directly what she wants to find out."The office? I am going to the
To make Emily fall in deep slumber, Marcus has turned to the use of the substance that that has helped him for a long time. With this central nervous system depressant mixed with wolfsbane, he will do whatever he wants with her; make love to her the whole night and then mark her and she won't be able to feel a thing.She will probably be shocked to learn that she has been marked, but by then it would already have happened and her reaction won't really matter. She can rage, hit him or whatever way she will deem fit to punish him, it won't bother him at all, and he will have gotten what he wanted.He will have gotten equal to her in rank, which means he will get the Alpha title back, and be stronger this time because he will have been a true Alpha like her.Hoping she doesn't kill him the next morning, he goes into her room and gives her the hot chocolate, then, after making sure she has taken the first sip, excuses himself.Perfect!Since it takes more than a few minutes for the effects
"Okay, what is going on now? I demand that you tell me what's going on!"Emily says firmly. Why do some people in this pack enjoy playing games with her? It was Twyla first, and then Gianna, and now this one. At least Twyla repented now, but it seems someone has come to replace her. And Emily is dying to know why they had a picture of the woman out up in the hall."I don't know, I am just as confused as you are, girl. You say Marcus is your fiance? You are the Alpha of this pack? Yes, I can feel it now, dominance has started emanating from you now that you are getting upset. Shit, this is messed up."The woman talks really fast, like she is in a rush to get enough words out."What?" Emily says. It seems the woman has come to understand something, but Emily is still blank."So they found the real Alpha's daughter? I see."Emily tilts her head to the side, amazed. Her sharp eyes are boring into the pretty, delicate woman before her, trying to read her."I am not surprised that he made a
Emily takes off the ring and flings it across the room, screaming in frustration.No, this is not her fault. It was not her fault at all and she should stop feeling guilty. Getting involved with a married man? Definitely something new. Marcus has toyed with her, took off his ring the minute his wife left, appearing single.What an asshole. She is going to give him a piece of her mind when she meets him, that jerk. The world's biggest jerk.Picking up Mathew's mop, she cleans the rest of the house, then leaves quickly.Just outside the pack house, she finds the girls, her Beta, Tara and others who she knows only by face.They seem to have been waiting for her, as they start following her immediately they see her.Emily doesn't say anything, raising her eyebrow when they come to block her way."You have found out, haven't you?" Tara asks. "You must hate us, I can even tell from your eyes.""Why would I hate you, Tara?" she says with a sigh. "Excuse me, I will go in the house now.""You
"It was a stormy morning on the day she arrived, Becky. That's her name," Tara says as soon as she and Emily are settled on Emily's bed. It sounds like a very interesting story, and this is how Emily understands it, from Tara's words.The Girl Becky had arrived in the pack years ago, drenched from the heavy downpour outside. She seemed to have spent so much time in the rain and got a fever so bad that she collapsed immediately after knocking on the door.By that time, the pack members had been hoping for a miracle where the Alpha's long lost daughter would come back, and that was the reason they mistook Becky for the Alpha's daughter. Becky had appeared mysteriously in the pack, with no recollection of where she'd come from, and the eager pack members chose to believe that she was the long lost Alpha's daughter they'd been waiting for. Becky had Alpha blood so they thought her dominance would manifest when she woke up, and the desperate Alpha, Marcus, had wasted no time in marking a
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
