What does one even do in a completely new and strange place that is filled with wolves waiting for her to be their leader? She is discovering werewolves are more temperamental and harder to deal with than humans, which makes her rethink her decision to stay.And as for that Gianna girl, she decides to shove her to the back of her mind for the moment. She still has highschool manners, and Emily has had her fill of Gianna type of girls from highschool. She is not important. Until she is.She feels her head begin to ache slightly as she enters the bedroom, touching her forehead.Immediately, she is met with Alpha Marcus, who blocks her way, closing the door behind her."Alpha, I didn't know...""Shhhh," he says, and she doesn't like how close he is getting to her. He is so big and he takes all the comfort out of the room. Emily presses back against the door, trying to keep a distance between them, but the Alpha moves closer until their bodies are almost touching. Marcus supports his han
It was only after Emily left the trailer park that Jack had figured out she must be the long-lost daughter a certain pack has been looking for. That strength she exhibited, it was out of the ordinary, knocking him down like that when he is supposed to be the Alpha male.And then a reliable source has just called him to confirm his suspicion. Emily is indeed the one, and if he had figured that out earlier, he would have been rolling in it. He is angry with her. Why the hell did she not give a more prominent sign, until she left?Anyway, it might not be too late. He hopes so, and his thoughts rush in his head as he pulls up outside the old mansion in the town of Austin.He honks his car to get the attention of the security men at the gate, but as soon as one of them comes out to check who it is, he immediately asks him to leave because Travis does not want to see him."Why?" Jack asks, feeling himself already running out of patience. "Last I remember, I was in good terms with him, I didn
Jack knows what the creatures in the building are capable of. They are dangerous demons and sleeping with other creatures different from them is their favorite hobby, and perhaps one would argue that it's not a bad thing since they are all gorgeous as hell. Except that by sleeping with someone, they steal that person's soul as well.You will have a great time in bed with them, and then you become heartless, unexplainably violent and remorseless. And all you want is to have more and more sex and want to chase that particular succubus or incubus, but they will have no use for you after that, having taken your soul away from you, which is the main reason they desire to have sex with anyone in the first place.And what this particular succubus is trying to do is seduce him by smelling like his favorite scent.And that's the least she can do to seduce him. Jack knows that he will be down if he takes so much as a glance at her, so he makes a mental note to avoid looking at her even as he nod
Jack has to force himself to face fhe ground because at this moment, Travis turns around in his chair to face him. Like Jack predicted, Travis is very interested to know about the girl being found.He is in a dangerous situation now, because no matter how curious he is to see the demon lord's face, to see why he doesn't like anyone looking at him, he can't, for fear of driving him into uncontrollable rage."What are you talking about? I hope you know what you are talking about because I don't like to be fooled! Where did you see the girl?"Jack swallows nervously. That voice would make anyone nervous.How does he explain that he had dated the girl for some time not knowing she is the one the demon lord has been searching for, with a huge price on her head? He will probably get in trouble for saying it."I am very sure sir. She is alive, she went back to join her pack. I saw her with my own eyes...""How did you know it was her?"Oh, shite. "Because I had the misfortune of meeting her
Soon after Emily left his house, Mathew found that his thoughts keep returning to her. Getting obsessed with everything the two of them have said, her every reaction. She must have thought he is hard to deal with, that he has a temper, but the truth is that angering Mathew is one of the hardest things one could ever do. He always has his emotions under strict control, no wonder he has never allowed himself to fall in love with any woman before, and it will always be that way.He tried to sound harsh with her only because he thought it was the only way that would be effective in making her reconsider her decision. The pack members need her, she just doesn't know how much. But she thinks she is not fit to be their Alpha, even after she was told they've been searching for her for years.But now, he thinks behaving the way he did will only succeed in pushing her away from him and nothing else. And, if truth be told, he rather enjoys her company. He doesn't want to push her away right now,
Mathew is surprised by how the man's words makes him feel. Unexpectedly, he feels so protective of Emily, must be because he is the one who found her, saw how vulnerable she was and therefore the need to protect her.Whatever the cause, the feeling to defend her, to make sure the man doesn't get his hands anywhere near her, is overwhelming.Since Alpha Marcus isn't too happy about Emily's presence in the pack, Mathew knows that he will jump at the opportunity to get rid of the girl. He has to get to her right now, hide her in his house if necessary...But he halts at the the response from the Alpha, as Marcus says something he didn't expect."As long as I live, I will never allow anyone to harm the girl. Her father asked me to care for her once she was found, it is just a pity we couldn't find her earlier. Now that she's been found, it is my responsibility to protect her, understand? I don't know what part of your courage the idea that I will allow you to harm the girl has come from. T
She should have known he was going to ask her about this, and she wonders who told him about the Alpha's intentions to marry her, because it is clear that he knows. She almost believed the reason he wanted to talk to her was because he wanted to apologize for the way he behaved back at his house, how stupid of her to have even entertained such wishful thinking. All he wants is to nosy around in her affairs, nothing more."What do you intend to do with that information, Mathew?"He rolls his eyes. "Do you have to argue about everything? I have told you it's for your safety...""I know you are just nosing around in my business. But try a different method because that one is surely going to fail."He scoffs, wondering how thick she can be."I have no interest in your personal business, young lady, I just want...""You want to protect me? I don't need your protection. The Alpha is a nice man, nicer than you, if I might add, so no need to protect me from him."He gets a little exasperated n
As she sits there brooding over the conclusion she has come up with, Mathew gives her a deep stare, then shakes his head."Your thoughts are misleading you," he says quietly, wondering what on earth he has done to her that makes her always inclined to think negatively of him."What thoughts?" she says, a scowl on her face."First of all," he responds. "Let me tell you the definition of a trophy. A Trophy is described as something gained or given in victory or conquest especially when preserved or mounted as a memorial. Or young, attractive woman who is the girlfriend of a rich and successful older person and who acts as a symbol of the person's social position, I don't know which of those two descriptions you place yourself under. Though I should think that if you go ahead and marry Marcus, you will very well fall under the second description..."What causes Emily to widen her eyes is not the deliberate reminder that the Alpha is too old for her, it is the fact that he has read her tho
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
