Emma Grey
I frantically scurried by his side, shaking his body lightly. “E– Emile. Hey, Emile.” I called for him.
Why isn't he moving?
Eva was hollering his name, but I couldn't hear it. It was all muffled. Blurred.
My eyes focused on him, motionless under my touch.
“Emile…” I croaked out, calling out for him again.
And yet, he never replied.
“What have you done!” I snapped my head towards him, voice hoarse as I snarled in his direction.
My hand hovers on his injuries, tremb
Nathan Black “How's their condition?” I inquired for one too many times as I paced through the room. Mrs. Paul shook her head, sweat trailed down her skin as Lina dabbed on it as fast next to her. “Not good. The injuries were left for too long for it to heal instantly. It might take up to hours, or days if I were to do it alone.” She claimed, her hand slightly writhed over the figures on the bed. I bit my lowered lips anxiously. It wouldn't take a hard guess with the way her hand trembled, and the way the light radiated from her palm had gradually dimmer by each second. She was already exhausted. And it seemed the healing was far from over which messed up m
Emma Grey It took a good minute for my eyes to adjust itself to the poorly dim room. The throbbing in my skull didn’t help one bit in making me feel better. I don't think I would have woken up just yet if not for the bantering whispers that gradually increased in its tone second by second. Who even was it? I was about to groan, shifting my body so that my back hitted the bed, only for a very low shush to freeze me in my spot. I locked my eyes to the door facing me. Still laying on my side as I tried to decipher who it was. It was… Emile? What was he doing here in this room? &
Nathan Black "And you too. Same as always. Playing your peasant trick similar to a child. Disappointing I must say." Father's snarl was cynical, yet the hurt in his eyes was visible to me. It riled him up. The mention of eight years ago surely took a toll on him. I patted his shoulder, feeling it tense to my touch. You wouldn't need to carry the burden anymore, father. It not only involved him alone anymore. Now, it was the matter of the Black family. The sinister grin had never left him even with father’s jest
Emma Grey I am certainly worthy of him. And with that in mind, I launched forward. Until I meet him again, I will fight for him. And I will fight for us. Because I had to tell him. No, I need to tell him. That what we had was never a mistake. “Emma! Wait–” Eva shouted but I couldn't stop now. I want to be useful. I was about to run towards him when someone beat me up to it. It all happened in a flash, wind blew roughly past me and in instance Thomas'
Nathan Black ‘Why don't we continue this on the field.’ Was what he said. But what had displayed in my sight was almost surprising. It never came into my mind that he would be thoroughly prepared for our arrival. As if he was expecting us. The field was what I say vibrant with the fire torch surrounding the land, illuminating the area with the radiant ray from the said fire. Not adding to the fact that there were even more of his underlings there complete with polearm in their grasp. Hah, never thought I would fall for his trap. It should be obvious with how smoothly his invitation was for us to accept it. He feigned his defeat, masking it behind wanting to ‘p
(Eight Years Ago) Raniel Black “Love, are you alright?” My warm hand met the trembled one as I held Diana closer to me. The fear in her eyes had set an alarm in my mind, knowing fully well something was wrong. My question had successfully snapped her attention from the huge front gate, with ‘The Solis Pack’ proudly carved on top of it. Her beautiful eyes found mine, having me fall in love with her all over again for the millionth time as she only shook her head. An unfamiliar tight smile made its way through her lips, as though reassuring me of her wellness. Though I knew it did nothing but worried me more. "
(Eight Years Ago) Diana Black "Diana." The sudden call of my name had my body stupefied. I could feel the dryness to my throat as my heart thumped wildly in my chest. My blood runs cold. That voice. Ah, I'm sorry, darling. I don't think I could make it home tonight. My hand vibrated with restlessness as I pulled out my wedding ring from my fingers while my thumb instinctively traced the word carved to it. The word I had tattooed in my heart since the day he had proposed to me, veiling the ring over my fingers with his trembled hand.
Emma Grey “Are you guys okay?” In only a minute, Eva was already beside me with her eyes taken in the condition of each of us, before it landed on the tied up man on the ground. Don't ask me where Lina had gotten herself a rope as I too, don't know. Her brows arched, nodding her head approvingly with the state Vick at, “Good job.” A smile and she walked away towards Allan and Nico, who seemed to have finished successfully with their fights. A series of groans were heard on the ground when we strolled near them, not before Lina discreetly kicked Vick's leg a little to which I snickered. She must have kept the vengeance towards him all this time. Nico was the one w
(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
