"I can't believe this," The handsome stranger muttered in exasperation, moving away in the direction of the window where he stood with his hands in his pants pockets staring outside. His lips were in a thin line, obviously not satisfied with the knowledge that a girl like me was carrying his golden baby on top of the fact that I was his mate.Well, duh, it wasn't like I was happy about any of the ideas too. I was still astounded by the manner everything seemed to be unfolding. A mate? I wasn't ready to be anyone's baby carrier not to mention a mate!I just need them to remove, evacuate... whatever terminology they used to remove a baby from someone. Jeez!Dr. Spencer sensing the tension, gave me a charming smile and came around the table to stand beside me, taking my hands in hers and looking me directly in the eyes. "Emma, you must trust me in this. I will handle it." I snatched my hands off. This time it was my turn to move away, letting out a stiff breath. "I am sorry, Dr. Spenc
"I'm so sorry, Em," My mother's voice came out like a squeak, tears slipping down her flawless face. "I tried so hard to talk sense into him but he wouldn't listen.""It's alright, mother." I dropped the last of my clothes into the box and secured it with the band hence I zipped it and slouched my shoulder in exhaustion. "I know you would have done more if you could.""No, I failed you!" Her shoulders shook as she came forward and embraced me. "If I didn't marry him all these won't be happening to you.""And then we'll both be suffering, Mom." I was hurting inside, but I didn't want to show it. It wouldn't help if both of us were falling apart with none to console the other, so I bit down on my tongue to keep the tears away. "You did the best you could for me. Maybe this is my fate. I hold nothing against you.""I will make sure Dr. Spencer pays for this.""You will do no such thing, mother. What did you say about forgiveness?" I pushed away and picked my bag to hand to an oversized m
As we traveled through the silent road, a thousand and one thoughts ran through my head.I was lost and had not the slightest idea what was going to happen, especially with this man I was leaving with.I was sad and hopeless. I was blank and continued to stare into oblivion. Nine months and I'd be free to leave after I had given him the heir that he wanted, I managed to give myself some hope.I reminisced about what happened a few minutes ago and was almost on the verge of tears. My stepfather hadn't even thought twice before sending me off, and for what? A piece of land. Anger welled up in me but it was futile and of no use.We drove on and on until we were almost at his pack. I knew because he mentioned it in his next statements. "We'll be arriving at my pack in a moment. I want you to be on your best behavior."His words left me dumbfounded. What did he mean? I tried to think it through in my head but to no avail."In my best behavior? I don't seem to understand what you mean by thi
I felt irritated at the question asked by my sister. She always took pride in getting on my nerves most of the days. Why did she have to bring it up at that moment? I wondered aloud as I sat in the swiveling chair in my office.I was glad and took a deep breath, glad that I was finally about to breathe. I would get the relief that I wanted. No longer would my mother yell at me to get her a child and no longer would the people ask for a Luna.I can finally sleep in peace. My eyes glinted in the dark and I was about to rise to my feet. I needed to sleep after a long and stressful day. I was about to turn the doorknob when I heard a loud knock from the outside and then the door flung open.My mother stood in front of me with her hands clasped to her sides. I took a deep breath and then returned to my chair."What is it, mom? What brings you here?"A sigh of frustration escaped from my lips. I knew exactly what she was going to talk about and that was the last thing that I wanted. All I
The three-decade-old woman flashed a weak smile at me, one that vanished into thin air almost immediately and dashed to the living room, which was only a few seconds walk from the dining room where we were.My heart pounded against my chest as I dragged my feet along the tiled floor of the house. I tried to imagine what she could want to say but I couldn't. She wore a thick grimace that I found difficult to decipher."Have your seat," she muttered, pointing at one of the sofas behind us when we got to the living room. It was a different one entirely and I hadn't seen it when I came in the other time.I took a deep breath and did as she said, my eyes flickering around. I fiddled with my hands as I managed to keep cool despite the heat in me that was threatening to blow me apart."Can you tell me more about yourself?" She inquired, her lips pursed together. I took a deep breath, muttered a word of prayer to the moon goddess and then began."My name is Emma and I am the daughter of Luna
My emotions got the better of me as I stared into Emma's eyes. I could see nothing but excitement and those balls that were well molded in her skull. I was ready and couldn't wait to see what she looked like beneath that dress she had on her.When a knock rang on the door, a wave of anger washed through me and I didn't realize it when I yelled. I was pissed and couldn't understand why anyone would decide to come in just at that moment when I was about to have some fun with my mate.I thought to ignore the knock but then it intensified until I could barely hear a thing. There was no way I would have a good time with the constant banging on the door. I took a deep breath, trying to contain the anger in me but to no avail."I'll answer the door," I muttered while staring at Emma, who did nothing but fiddle with her hands while staring at me. I walked to the door, murmuring as I went, and then turned the doorknob. Before me stood my mother with her hands akimbo. She had a thick frown lace
How could someone be as hot and sexy as Scott was? I couldn't believe it was the same Scott who had lain with me only a few minutes ago. He was so hot and ravishing, leaving me euphoric.I shut my eyes and took a deep breath as I stared into his eyes. There were a lot of things I wanted to say but I couldn't bring myself to utter them.My gaze locked in his and for a split second, I saw a different Scott. He had this kind and warm look in his eyes, one that set me on fire."Do I have anything in my eyes?" He queried out of the blues with a thick frown laced to his brows.The look that I had seen a few seconds ago had vanished into thin air and in place of it was a strong, uninviting look that sent chills down my spine."It's nothing. I was only staring at you. Can't I do that?" I asked in a low, whispering voice, fiddling with my fingers.Somehow, he seemed to notice my discomfort and uneasiness. "You are so sweet and nice," he said.I was stunned. Was I dreaming? Or perhaps I was hal
The clock by the bedside table rang out of the blues, sending chills down my spine. I flew awake, panting with bated breath. My eyes darted around in search of the culprit. There was nothing in sight.I was stunned and couldn't believe my eyes. My hand rested on my chest as I tried to calm my throbbing nerves. My heart was still thumping heavily against my chest and it felt like it was going to explode the next minute.It clicked just at that moment as my gaze rested on the clock on the other side of the bed where Scott lay.My eyes bulged and I couldn't control the spark that was sizzling through me. A strong feeling of disbelief sank deep in me.How did I get onto the bed? I had Renmen lying on the sofa opposite me. It made no sense and how could I wrap my hands around it?Every bit of me wanted to return to the sofa before Scott woke up. The last thing I want is a lecture from him.He would go on to remind me of how we were only together for the child in me and all. I wasn't ready
