Nathan Black
The meeting room was situated in a room next to Sir Joshue’s office. As to why they decided to build an office in their house was also a wonder. Mayhaps it was easier to keep the secret within a small range of people.
I have been in the room for half an hour and during that time, it was filled with silence. No one had dared to say a word.
The atmosphere was suffocating with my rage, my mind whirled to the possibilities on who could've caused her such pain.
Gratefully, Ethan had elbowed my side with curiosity filling his eyes. It successfully brought back my conscience again.
“What had got you so worked up, bro. I almost drowned in your wrath just now
Emma Grey “I am impressed. You surely knew you did wrong. Baring yourself in front of me like this, the little worthless Emma.” A sinister grin falls on her lips. I should've known I wouldn't be this fortunate. How deluded could I be? “Mom…” My lips quivered. Cold sweat washed over me. How can I let it slip through my mind that mom could possibly be here. This is the one place she would be if not elsewhere. If only I wasn't blinded by the temporary comfort encast upon me. Then, I could have used my brain better and saved myself from these circumstances. Why am I so foolish?
Nathan Black I speed up even more. I'm coming. Until then, please be safe. Emma. “Nathan! Where the heck are you going?” Allan heralded out for me, irregardless of that, I couldn't let myself decelerate. I need to be there fast. “Damn it. Just follow him.” Ethan and Allan had run after me. I could hear the heavy steps vibrating on the ground as they slowly advanced nearer and nearer towards me. Father was probably left behind dumbfounded by the whole situation. Though, I will notify him later about this when I'm sure she is safe. As of now, my mind only fills with her. &nb
Emma GreyI got away from her. My mom.I used to never dared to imagine it before. Now that it had occurred before me had me astounded.And it was all because of him.I stole a glance to my side, admiring his profiles which only greatly highlight his charming features. His eyes had been focused forward, giving me an opportunity to take him in .My eyes trailing to his full brows, the mole under his black dazzling eyes and his sharp jaws before it falls to his lips. My eyes lingered on it longer, unintentionally tightened my hold in our intertwined hand.
Nathan Black ‘Thank you for being here.’ It was captivating. How her brown locks shimmer under the radiant sky. How her eyes twinkle gleefully while having my heart knocking on my chest. How her beautiful smile gracefully makes its way through her lips. It all was so mesmerizing that I had to avert my eyes from her. Dazzling even. The warmth radiating off her was addicting, yearning for me to be as close to her. “Sure.” The tone must have sounded cold for her, seeing as she was about to leave. A feeling of loneliness attached itself
Emma Grey “Were you expecting anyone, mom?” Lina enquired, breaking the quietness in the room. She shook her head, frown deepen with her eyes sealed to the door. It had my stomach twisted in fear. Who could it be? Before I realized it, Nathan had already made his way to the door with his brunette friend not far behind. My mouth opened, attempting to stop him when nothing came out of it. What is he doing? It could be someone dangerous. What if– Sir Joshue and my mom suddenly came into my thoughts. What if it was both of them? What if mom already told Sir Joshue about what had happened.
Nathan Black A month had passed since I had stayed in Solis Pack after the treaty had successfully been signed. As discussed, we would be trading the members of the pack which leave me and Allan residing here. While Ethan and my father had long returned to Luna Pack. Much to his dismay that is. The dulled air ghosted over him was all too amusing to watch as he parted with Lina a month ago. I layed on my bed in the guest house, still in the white shirt I wore for the day. Allan was in the room next to mine, probably on his bed by now by how drained he had been. It was an exhausting day, patrolling around the territory close to the borders. Though, it was almost worthful with all the information I had managed to gather.
Emma Grey I didn't know how many days had passed since I locked myself in Lina’s room. Separating myself from the world. The bed felt cold to my skin as I hugged my knees, laying on my side. My eyes dazed towards the windows, the habit I have whenever I feel devastated. I let myself lose in my thoughts as the event replayed itself in my mind. – “Who.” My voice was cold, even I couldn't recognize it. Her eyes unfocused before flickered towards mine. Please, let it not be her.
Nathan Black “You're going there again?” Allan asked, hand slumping lazily around me while shifting half of his weight on me. We were already done with the patrol when we strolled the assembly hall. I nodded, a victorious smile slipped on my lips. “Of course. I even obtained some useful information last night.” Though, the smile almost dropped as my mind traveled to the conversation I had with Emile. He had almost exposed everything that had occurred within his family especially with Emma. And all I could do was listen. All of my emotions went feral that night. Imagining her sufferings had set scars in my chest. How could she go through all that without breaking herself? Or she might already have been from the very start?&n
(Five years later)Emma BlackThe wind blew, lightly gracing my hair across my shoulder. Feeling the chills of the morning air seeping through my thin nightgown, I hug myself tight.It was still early. The sky was navy blue, not yet letting the moon hide itself for the sun to rise.My eyes trained towards the lake, calm from any alive movement. Most of the living must've still been in a deep slumber, lulled by the peaceful dawn.Good thing Nathan had chosen a house with a magnificent view, enchanted my eyes with the beauty of its nature.A fond smile slipped through my lips, reminiscing the early days I had been in the Luna Pack five years ago.The first time I had met his father, it was rather awkward to say. Though, it all went better after Nathan's appointment ceremony, as he showed him the ring.The silver band of his late wife, the one he must've missed to the moon and beyond. Instantly, the second Nathan had told him everything, he pulled me into a full embrace. Threads of grat
Emma Grey"Are you sure this is all you need?" My eyes wandered across the luggage, particularly searching for any missing necessities to fill in. "Let me see. The toiletries are here, my shirts and my pants are here…" I patted the neatly folded clothes, before turning my head towards Eva. "What else do I need?" "Hmm… Maybe some snacks for traveling? I'm not sure either."I bit my inner cheek, contemplating if I should bring along my blanket. Truthfully, I never knew preparing all this stuff was somehow stressful. Formerly, we were strictly forbidden to leave the area if it wasn't permitted by Sir Joshue. Thus, it didn't ever latch into my mind for me to prepare the stuff for leaving.Now that I had to clear out my wardrobe, I don't even know what else I should bring along with me. I did have to live there for a long period of time in the Luna Pack. Luna Pack.I still can't believe it.He invited me. Nathan invited me! I almost squealed the moment he laid out the invitation. To
Emma Grey"Nathan, are you home?" I hollered.A sudden nudge from Lina had me facing her as quick. My knuckles instinctively stilled, hovering the wooden door. My brows were narrowed as I hushed, before huffing a breath, calming the anxiousness pulled in my heart. "You startled me, idiot."She snickered apologetically, "Oh, sorry. I forgot you're on your toes today." She placed her palm on my back, rubbing it in an attempt to calm me down. "Relax, I was just wondering if they're really in there or with Eva."I exhaled a breath, accepting every comfort I could possibly receive in this moment. It had me on edge since this morning. If Lina hadn't mentioned her conversation with Ethan regarding the matter, it would surely be completely far from my mind.Not when she told me they would be leaving anytime now, that their father had deemed for their return.Really, how can it slip out of my mind that Nathan would be leaving anytime sooner. The past days had been the happiest I've ever been
Nathan Black"Father had called, again. We need to head back later this week, Nat." A hum left my throat. My head tilted on the headrest of the velvet sofa lazily, finding the ceiling rather interesting than the whole conversation.Even my eyes had almost fluttered closed sleepily with how cool it was inside the guest house, seeing the sunlight almost burnt the bird's nest to dust just outside the window."Nat, do you hear me?" Ethan's voice once again greeted my ear drum, sounding more urgently. I glanced at him sidedly before darted my attention again on the white ceiling.Huh, weren't there supposed to have four lamps? One, two, three… Ah, there's four. I knew I counted them right–"Nathan!" He hollered incredulously. I heaved a sigh heedlessly. "I know."It wasn't the first time father had sent those from our pack, urging for our return. It had been several days past since the hearing, so most of them, including Nico had already returned to Luna territory.Though, he was quite
Emma Grey"Cause we're more than just a pack."Her eyes flew across the crowds, before it found mine. With her precious smile, she muttered, "We're family."I felt my lips trembled, overwhelmed with emotions meant behind the words she had spoken.To protect one another, regardless of our wolf and gender, be it a Beta, an Omega or even an Alpha. We should've done this long ago, away from the nonsense idea Sir Joshue had instilled in our mind. And like a puppet, we had dumbly followed his false teaching, without even complaining about the damage he'd done to each one of us.That we had seen our own people sacrificed with our own eyes, and yet, not once had anyone ever spoken aloud of it.If we could change it all together, I'm certain there would be a brighter day for the future of the Solis.Just then, her eyes flickered to the whole crowd, hardening her gazes yet again. "Now, to begin the said hearing, I'll now present to you all of the criminal offenses," She glanced on him, disgus
Nathan BlackPredictable.The corner of my lips lifted, amusement laid itself within my eyes. It was as if he was extremely desperate for the hearing to lack success, carrying the exact same act I had fortunate he would do.The commotion was left unblase as Eva's eyes caught mine. Good thing we met this morning."Now." I mouthed towards her, averting my sight towards Joshue. It would be entertaining to see his face crumble to the depth of sea, decayed to the deepest ocean.And seconds pass by before Eva's scent spreads through the air, eloping the people's agitation into thin air. I must admit, watching his sneering turned to a frown was pleasing to the eyes. The confusion and irritation in his eyes confessed every inch of despair he felt.The corner of my lips lifted higher as his eyes darted promptly towards mine, seeing the irritation blasted into a rageful sight.As I said."You…" He growled, baring his teeth towards me.Predictable.–(Joshue Miller's Resident Earlier)"You ca
Emma GreyEva had been excellent in her public speeches ever since we were children. But looking at her now, on a stage for a very special occasion as this really did place her in a new light.One that suited her the best."Eva's really awesome, don't you think?" The words slipped on its own, flowed unconsciously as my eyes trained on her composed figure. "Yup, I agree! Do you know how many packs there were for having a woman as a leader?" Lina muttered, glancing at me expectantly.And as much as I wanted to retort her anticipation, I must admit I actually had no idea how many there were. Truthfully, I had never heard of any woman becoming a leader. Though, I couldn't comment much on it, as I too, hadn't known of the outside world other than my very pack.Thus, a shrug was all I could muster. "Beats me."She sighed, "Yeah, that makes two of us. Kind of makes me want to leave this place and explore the world."I felt my lips twitch into a hollow smile. Someday, Lina. I'm sure of it
Nathan Black"Mrs Eva Grey, the stage is yours."Eva nodded towards Thomas, marching her feet onto the center of the stage, reluctantly giving her speeches. I admit it was one of the most exasperating things to do as a pack leader, thus, I kind of understood her disinclination.Besides that, it seemed I was a bit late to the hearing, though it was only due to Eva asking me for assistance in some matters pertaining to the event today.I guess I was an exception for running a bit behind the schedule. Good thing I had managed to spot Ethan instantly among the crowds."You didn't return home last night." I muttered heedlessly, stepping to Ethan's side, a meter away from the stage. It seemed he had been here for quite some time, seeing him almost bored to his bone.As much as I wanted to arrive with Emma earlier, it was necessary for me to discuss some matters with Eva. Which was why I had to take a detour towards Sir Joshue's house early this morning."And you must've been relieved I d
Emma Grey"Nope. Stay away from me."My brows knitted in confusion, noting how Lina had held her hands towards me. Her eyes glimpsed unimpressively while creating a distance between us.We were all called to the field for Eva's hearing today. And recognizing her silhouette from afar, I excitedly ran up towards her, albeit, the second I patted her shoulder, she jumped on her feet away from me.What's wrong with her? The second I attempted to march a step closer, she hastily shuffled backwards as though she was uncomfortable with my presence."What're you doing?" I uttered in bewilderment. She eyed me suspiciously, raising her eyebrow expectantly towards me that I almost felt offended by it."You're with him last night, weren't you?" She accused, though not that it was all false. However, the way she muttered it incriminatingly had me almost on my toes.More importantly, how did she even know that? Because, after we had kiss– I mean, pouring our feelings towards each other, Nathan had i
