She clearly made the wrong choice when she chose Mathew, and she regrets it. She should not have allowed feelings to control her, because the signs were there from the beginning and she kept hoping he would change.In a situation like this, she misses Marcus's friendship. He may have been a horrible leader, but the truth is that, as a person, he is not that bad and talks with him left her refreshed most of the time. Well, if he didn't talk about his intention to marry her, that is. She already had enough pressures having to deal with all the issues in the pack, and can't afford to have a relationship that adds more stress to her life, or else her performance will be pathetic.She angrily steps out of the house, carrying the dried flowers and the ring, needing some fresh air even though it is chilly outside.She sits by the swimming pool, staring into the water and feeling depressed.She hates to break things with Mathew, but she knows this is for the best, for both of them. The two of
Emily takes a deep breath, telling herself to calm down. Life should go on even after a breakup; she can't allow herself to be useless because of him. She has a pack to take care of.After checking her face in the mirror, she goes to the office to do some work.She did not expect to find Marcus there, sitting not on the chair he used to sit on as the Alpha, but as the visitor, as though waiting for her.She doesn't back out even after seeing him. She could use someone to complain to at the moment, and she is sure he would understand her situation more than anyone.Marcus waits until she is settled behind her desk then talks to her."You were depressed last night. You are still the same way today. And that can only be because of relationship problems with Mathew."She just sits there and looks at him. He can see from her eyes that he's hit a nail."Well, I don't know what I can say to make you feel better. But I want you to know that you can always count on me for support, if you requir
Grateful, Emily goes to her room to rest.She is mentally exhausted, and sleeps the entire morning away, only waking up when someone knocks at the door.It is Marcus, who has a tray of food in his hands for her."I figured you'd want to have lunch in your room."She forces a smile on her face, her muscles feeling stiff as she does so."Thanks, but really, you don't have to do this. You've already done so much as it is.""I don't mind. Like I I told you, I've always loved you. I lost all hope of ever being with you but I will always be there for you when you need me. Because, Emily, the love I have for you is deep."No, she doesn't believe his words. She will never believe any man when he talks about love, she has been made a fool enough times to learn her lesson.She only smiles, then eats the food he has brought. All of it. Which should say something; she is begining to feel a little better. She is bound to heal completely with time, but she doubts she will ever forget Mathew, that a
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
