EmmaNormal.That was one sentiment I didn't think I would experience in a long time. This evening after I encountered Scott in the bedroom, I was relieved to see him. I had scented him earlier when he came with Liam, but before I could call them back to inform them I was awake, they were fine. And I was too tired to go after them.These days I've been acting like a robot, I knew. It disturbed me as much as it disturbed Scott. I was supposed to be his Luna not ti mention that out binding ceremony was coming up, however, I haven't felt myself. I didn't want to leave room to any more surprise where our son was concerned. At least if I couldn't get anything right, I should in that aspect.“Are you ready?” Scott queried beside me. He was smartly dressed in a black sweat pants and black shirt, his hair shining from the concentrated channeled ought if the room’s mini chandeliers. My lips thinned out, I nodded with a slight smile.“I'm ready when you are,” I mouthed. He grabbed his customized
EmmaThere was an icy silence in the room as she said that. If one had dropped a pin at this moment, there was a possibility of hearing the sound. And me? I froze.My blood ran cold, my mouth fell open.“What do you mean?” Scott's voice was stern. “You can't be pregnant.”“Why not?” She hissed directly at his face. Her eyes were narrowed, daring him. Why? “Have you forgotten that might?”“You tricked me!” Scott jabbed his finger on the floor.Theresa stood up, clearing her throat. “I think everyone should settle down.”“No, I will not have this! She is lying!” As Scott said it, he turned to me. I was still frozen. If Ashley was pregnant, it meant only one thing; I was finished. I would be cast out. “Everyone sit down. Now!” Theresa slammed her fist on the table, and I flinched, regaining myself. I fell on my chair. I didn't want to be there anymore. What was there to say? She was right. They had sex.Ashley sashayed forward and plopped down on a chair close to Theresa and Scott came b
A few days later things went back to normal. Well, there's never a normal for me since finding out Ashley was having my mate’s baby. But I won't let that bother me for now. I have a wedding to look forward to! The morning breakfast was just like other breakfasts, consisting of aromatic dishes that I couldn't eat to my satisfaction in front of Scott’s mother, whilst enduring the peculiar glares flashed at me from time to time by Ashley as well as dark observations from Scott himself. When breakfast ended and Theresa left with Anna on her tail, I knew it was time to put on my responsibility shoes and act! I don't know how this is going to turn out but one thing is for sure, I'm not going to cross my arms and watch this weasel of a girl make me into a joke. Not for the Alpha, of course, but for the maintenance of my dignity. Before I came here I did do well. The few times I had incurred the devil's shoes of my family were out of sheer hatred and the need to exact their power over me a
"Did you hear anything I just said?" I jolted back from my thought and blinked up at the fair-haired woman, realizing I had drifted while she was still talking, "Huh?" the words flew out before I could stop them. My eyes dilated in chagrin, one of my hands flew to my mouth before rapidly flapping down on my lap, my eyes scooting between her and Ashley who had a repellent look on her face at me.Somehow since the horrendous announcement, the packhouse has become her second home. Urgh!To be honest ever since she dropped the bombshell about the pregnancy and knowing that that would determine the Luna position, I lost concentration. I have been raking my head what in the world this is about. Maybe their own sophisticated method of depriving me of something that the kind goddess has so naturally handed to me.Who competes to be with their mate? And even if you have to compete, it now has to be against someone that come the next life, you ain't likely to win against. Great! What did I te
“I thought you said you forgave me?” Those were his words the last time we met after the fight. “Yes, but I need time,” I had replied. “You don’t expect me to just believe you when you said the child she carries is not yours. I need time, Scott.” I didn’t look him in the eyes because I didn’t want to fall for his charm. “How much time,” he’s asked.“As much time as possible.” “I will be away the .” I looked up at him. He shrugged. “I can’t bear living under the same roof with you and not being able to come close to you, Emma. I can’t.”I nodded and looked away. “And our son?”“He would be fine. He is an Alpha.” the words nudged at my heart. Tears pulled in my eyes which I forced myself to keep in. I had to do this for me. “Thank you.”“For what?” He queried.“For allowing your sister and Liam to be together.”“I did it for you.”“I know,” I nearly went to him then. “Which is why I am grateful . They’re meant to be.”Those were our last words. And since then, all I want now is to be
I stayed with my son for a while plying with him while the party went on downstairs. Part of me bought Scott was going to come after me due to the manner I left the party. That was part of me, but the other part knew he wouldn’t. After all I asked him to give me time. It was disappointing he wasn’t fighting for me. Taylor soon fell asleep and I kissed his forehead and decided to go to my room and pick my planning book. I still had a lot to do. When I was walking down the hall, something got my attention. A man.Like a drop-dead gorgeous man got my attention. He stepped into the hall, the automatic doors sliding close as he came in, his eyes washing over me in a sinful way. A very sinful way.I stood there one of my feet on the stairwell, the other one down as I stared at the man as he drew close, my eyes taking in every one of his adorable features His shoulders were broad, more like herculean massive_ fitted into a three-piece dark suit, his face stretched in what I would term a
"A proper Luna is always mindful of the time, especially one that wishes to have the keep up and running effectively with avoidable hitchbacks..." The statement from Theresa was cut to the chase and aimed at me. I flinched back, still dawdling by the door. What in moon's name possessed me to wake up this late? It was one thing that I wasn't favored much in this crowd, then I have to pull off this stunt of bringing the attention to myself. Now Theresa would think I was being deviant and irresponsible while Ashley is the serious one. "Get seated, Emma. I won't tolerate this foolhardy behavior next time. Be warned," she warned and I walked to the nearest couch to plop down."Luna, I thought she would be punished? Why should she be here__""Keep quiet, Ashley..." I caught the cold regard she gave Ashley who blanched in her couch and quickly recovered, and when theresa looked away, gave me a condescending bird's eye.l only returned her gaze, with a soft one, within me having a good lau
It was raining heavily when we came back from the training camp. Just as I envisaged, Nathan dropped me off in front of the house and told me he was going back to the border to see how things were going there.I wanted to beg him not to leave but knowing he has a duty to uphold which would be unfair of me to stop him, I simply nodded and accepted my ugly fate before sneaking my way into the house. I rushed upstairs two at a time, aiming to reach my room on time and hide away, hoping the Alpha doesn't figure out that I have returned from my outing. I succeeded, went to take my bath, and changed into the evening gown that I found hanging on the vanity chair_ meaning Anna had come to my room to check on me. I felt bad I haven’t spent much time with her recently and wished I could. But I needed this training so badly. I needed to become better. I needed to focus on something else that didn’t have to do with Scott or his mother’s stupid idea of competing for the Luna position. I was ab
