Scott Pov

Liam was glaring at me from across the table. Since he came in he hasn't said a word to me. Just went straight to the cabinet and grabbed himself a bottle of wine, poured it into a glass, and was sipping slowly, his eyes never leaving me.

“What?” I grumbled, eyeing him. “If you have something to say to me, go ahead and say it. You don't need to glare.”

“Why are you doing this to Emma?” He dropped his glass to ask. “You know she's innocent.”

“For all we know, she isn't. She betrayed me with the witches. I nearly lost my life.”

“She didn't! Why don't you want to believe her? I thought you loved her.”

“That was until I found out she was hiding something from me. Something that would have cost me my life.”

“She did it to protect you. If you ask me, she doesn't deserve the treatment you are giving her.”

“Well,” I shrugged nonchalantly. “Thank goddess I didn't ask for your opinion.”

“I'm still your Beta. I would like to believe I have a day in how you treat your second half.”

    EmmaMy heart palpitated as I stood there in absolute shock watching Scott take off after the man who had proclaimed he was my savior. Why did he run if truly he was sent by my father? And what was Scott doing here in the first place? Was he following me? I regained myself, my eyes dipping to my hand that held his clothes. Goddess, he was stark naked! My body reacted to that knowledge but I hastily pushed that to the back of my mind. It was foolish of me to even think about that now of all time.When the man had materialized, I had no option but to shift back inroder to properly communicate with him. I couldn't help but doubt his statement about my parents sending him to bring me. Alfred hated me, he would rather watch me burn on a stake than try to save me. That I knew.But I was even more curious. Who was this man and why was he here?My feet moved even before my body in the direction they went. "Scott!" I shouted, increasing my pace.

    Emma Pov“Fuck! Stupid flies!” Ashley cried out for the umpteenth time, waving her hands around like a mad person. This was what she had been doing since we entered the woods. I snickered into my palm, my mood eventually lifted.“What's funny?” She bellowed at me. “If not that you are a vile person why would you have fun at the expense of my misery, huh?”“Eh, mind your voice, Ashley,” Anna jumped on her. “No one asked you to come to the fucken hunt if you knew you weren't fit for it.”“And who said I'm not?” Her eyes shone at Anna in pure irritation. “It's okay, everyone, there's no need to fight,” Liam slowed down his horse beside Anna and eyed her while speaking. “Are you okay now, Em?” He asked in a milder tone that no one else was supposed to hear. But trust Ashley and her large ears.“So, I'm suffering and yet she's the one who you are concerned with?” She asked, yanking the reins of her horse until she was facing us.

    Emma“Get the fuck away from me!” I cried out, the tears that had gathered slowly slipping down my face. I dashed past him but beige I would cross him, his hand swept around my waist and pulled me to join in a fluid move. “Em, listen, you have to calm down.” His voice had lowered an octave, seemingly strangled.“Let me go, Scott. You are horrible.” I was fully sobbing now. I tried to fight him but his hold on me was too strong it appeared like I was making an effort. “You take so much pride in hurting me.”“You can say whatever you want, Em, but you are not going anywhere” He tugged me closer, his other hand going to my neck to nudge me into his chest. Like a magnet, I found myself plastered against him, my fight slowly ebbing. I wept so hard, that my heart tore to several pieces. Why was Scott like this? He knew I could do anything for him and his pack and yet he chose to hurt me in the most painful ways. “Let it all out,” he was whispering, stroking my back. And I did. My voice wa

    EmmaAfter eating my food I hurried to my room, somehow certain that Scott was coming to bed tonight. I took another shower and dressed in one of my seductive night dresses; a silky red short thin-strapped night dress.I doused myself with enough perfume for around two outings and sprawled across the bed after making sure the light was dimmed. I pretended to be asleep, but with one eye open as I waited for Scott.But he didn't come. It was about midnight I eventually consented to myself that my prep was a vain waste of time. I thrashed my legs on the bed in disappointment and sighed, obliging to sleep.I decided perhaps, something came up that he had to attend to and that was why he didn't coke to bed. Or did I misinterpret the meaning to what happened between us? What if he only used me? Verily as mates until we rejected each other, we were bound to our bond which meant most of the time we desired each other, it was because we had no control over it."Luna?" Someone was calling me fr

    Scott POV“Try to be civil and cordial, son,” my mother said to me, coming ti stand in front of me and straightening my tie. I was in a grey plaid suit and white shirt. I looked smart, all thanks to my mother who insistently I looked my part as a great Alpha. “I’m always civil, mother,” I mumbled and stepped past her. She caught me and gave me a disapproving look, looked behind me and tilted her head forward in a gesture and Ashley hurried forward to stand beside me. “You two shouldn’t forget the point why we are here,” As she spoke, her eyes skidded from me to her and back. “These Alphas might be obnoxious but for the sake of our pack and getting them to be on our side, we shouldn't get into any form of disagreement with any of them.”“Of course, Mom,” Ashley purred, holding onto my arm too tightly. “I am more than willing to play my part in this,” her statement ended with an unnecessarily irritating snicker. I rolled my eyes and began walking. Once my mother coughed lightly, I les

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   The betrayal

    EmmaThe day whirled by, slower than typical. Perhaps because I was looking forward to seeing Scott tonight, the day for some reason crawled like a snail. I recalled going back to the room after our short mischief to rest after which I had retreated down back to Taylor's room to stay with him. Initially, when I came, he had slept off as though he hadn't slept wherever Scott had hidden him.After that, I was bored and fathomed Taylor might need air- he had been cramped inside for a while. Again, I had no idea where he was retained before if came out. Though I doubted that. We were in the living room, the evening drawing near and my eyes heavy from too much wine. Anna had gone off after we came out of the conservatory and wandered off where I couldn't tell. Maybe running in the woods. I hoped she was okay."Look how lovely those eyes are, my love," I cooed at Taylor who gaped at me as if he couldn't get enough of me. His eyeballs were bold and bright just like his father's. He was a com

    Emma He was hot on my heels. "Emm, wait!" His voice reverbeareted in the hall. I proceeded down the hall, Taylor safely tuckedunde rmy arm. I understood the power Scott had over me which meant if I stopped and he compelled me to bow to his wishes, I had no choice to. That was why I cornered another hall, hastily, hoping i lost him.A hand shot out and grabbed mine, bringing me to a rapid stop.“Emma, please, listen," Scort begged. His voice was shadowed like he was in deep misery. But I was wiser and could comprehend the miles a man could go to have a woman under this control."What!" I yelled. "What do you want?""Lets talk, please..." He pleaded. Voluntarily my eyes sipped at his face and discovered he was truly frustrated. He looked very tired an dworn out. Oh, what an actor. After what he did?"You are shameless," I said. The wretch of a man. "You have the gts,.""I swear, Emm, I didn't do it.""You didn't do what?" asked.

    Emma“Why did you do it?” Was the first question that popped out of my mouth. I didn't anticipate to question him when I came down here, how we out of nowhere the question came. Perhaps it was right to know what I didn't wrong to warrant his cruelty. That was I could have my closure.“Em…”“Why did you fucken betray me, cunt?” I half yelled, jabbing my finger his way. “I gave you everything! My body, my dignity as a woman! My everything. Even a goddamned heir!”“It's kit what you think!” He slammed his fist on the table, jumping to his feet. He stopped and wiped his face tiredly. “It's not what you think.” His voice was calm. His tired eyes pierced at me through the faint barricade if a space that existed between us. The light was dim making his pupils sharp. It was as if I could see through his soul. I looked down. “They trapped me.”I scoffed. “Like I look like a child.”“I swear it, darling.” He left the desk and came towards me. I didn't move. “You can ask Liam. I was with him that

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Hitched for life!

    The wedding day.I have imagined several ways that my wedding was going to take place. Fairytales that was what I called them. The pink lilies lined up the walks, I even imagined my dog walking down the aisle with me bearing the rings with the revered flower crown adorning his or her furry head. It was going to be a white wedding where everyone wore white same as the decorations.But never in Gods green earth did I imagine that I was going to have a double wedding with the man of my heart and sister from another mother. But more importantly, that Theresa was going to walk beside my mother as they accompany my son and I down the aisle to handle me over to Scott as his wife and Luna.It was my dream come true with a touch of radical goodness. I could never stop my face from gleaming with joy merely looking at Scott standing there in his white tuxedo his face a mask of angelic warmth. And on the other side was Liam and his newly-wedded bride, Aan, their hands entangled as they welcomed

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Caught!

    We raced down the hall, our lies having been perfectly constructed. We had all agreed to tell Theresa that I woke up with a terrible headache and was only coming down for the training out of respect for her. It was a lot getting Liam to flow with the lies but he had agreed anyway. However as we neared the stairs, a loud scream tore through the house from down the stairs. "What's that?" Anna asked, increasing her step that soon turned to a run. We joined in, taking the stairs two at a time. The loud voices was coming from the direction of the Omegas quarters, the men's quarters precisely. We arrived in time to encounter Theresa deliver a well-aimed slap on Ashley's face who bent over bawling her eyes out."Mom!" Anna went to block her as she lifted her hand to give her another slap. "What is going on here?"Theresa covered her face with her right hand, her left in her waist. Her very schooled elegance was gone to be replaced by an infuriated expression. She wagged her forefinger at A

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Another failed attempt

    Wandering aimlessly helped me to learn a lot in one night, particularly the vastness of the mansion. I strode to the back of the house where the training ground was located, bending a few corners before I saw it stretched endlessly over the grassy field, with different objects constructed at diverse positions for training. I was stupefied for once, all the anger in me dissipating to be replaced by awe. I went to the Wolf leaper standing at the crossbar and touched it, taking note of the rough exterior. My eyes caught the flicker of the power tester that is used to train young pups to discover their inner strength. It sent jolts of longing wafting through me, wishing I had this chance growing up. Maybe it's not too late. I just need to learn now. For myself, not for anyone or anything. This is just me now against the world, whether I like it or not. It has always been. No one cares about me and if I am waiting for someone to, I might end up dying faster than I had anticipated. The wo

    He cocked his brow to the top of his head, picked up the glass containing a brown substance on the table I hadn't noticed till now, and took a long swig as if I hadn't just dropped a bombshell on him. Is that how he is going to react? No fret, no fury? Nothing? My heart broke. So he truly wanted it? He brought me from my pack to this place for nothing. Just to mock our bond and destroy something so sanctified that the goddess has ordered. The tears that has been threatening were trying to force their way out, but I quickly looked down and willed it back. I am not going to cry for any man anymore. I had already thought about this and know it's for the best. I would rather be without a mate than with one who didn't want me for me but because I might have managed to win a competition to become his trophy Luna.Squaring my shoulders I looked up, expecting him to reject me immediately so I can go on to ask him for a favor concerning my housing, but he wasn't upcoming with it. He was stil

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Reject me

    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

    "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

    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

    “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

    "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
