EmmaYour son is under a spell...The words kept echoing in my ear as I stood outside the nursery. The priest had asked us to step out so he could try to save the boy. He said we had come on time if not, he wouldn't be alive in the next 40 minutes.Then again, he had asked, "Who was with him when you came in?" And I had stared blankly, my mind utterly mesmerized. It was Scott who answered and said, "I think one of the nursemaids.""One of his nuersemaids is a mercenary," The priest had informed us. Fear had gripped me further. Taylor had four nursemaids. I recalled telling Scott he didn't even need one but he was overcome with care and had insisted, saying I was too feeble to handle a newborn baby by myself."I-I thought the Doctor said it was poison?" That was the first thing I had uttered, out of shock."Not poison." The priest had picked him up again. "I need to try to help him. Everyone kindly step outside for a minute."Scott's arms came about me and guided me outside with Theres
Scott“And that’s my final conclusion!” My voice resonates in the room, eliciting mild whimper from all the everyone present; including my mother and Beta. “This is the last time they would mock me! Mock us! Let us prepare for a war!”“Don’t you think that’s a rash decision to make, Alpha?” Kendrick voice came form the door. I didn’t see him come into the room.My hands still on the massive conference room table, I twisted to the side to scrutinize him. “Why do you say that? Is it not enough that we have folded our hands and watched them try to take things that matters to us?”“I’m only saying… maybe we should be reasonable. Since the last message we sent, they haven’t done anything drastic.” “That's nonsense!” My mother hissed. “And I have to remind you that you owe your allegiance to us for saving your life. You are not here to question the decisions of your Alpha but to heed them. If he says there would be war, then there should be war!”There was a consensuous murmur around the ro
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
