Emery
I keep feeling like somebody’s watching us. However, I shook it off since it’s probably just my nerves. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone out, so I might just be unfamiliar with the environment.
The sun was about to set, so I proposed that we already go home.
“Let’s go home before the sun sets.”
“Mommy!” Arlo whined.
“Let’s ride one more ride, hmm?” Devyn flashed his puppy eyes at me.“Pleaseee,” Kairo added.
The three boys looked at me with expectant eyes, so I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
“Fine,” I gave in. All of them were just too cute to resist. No. I mean, only two of them are the cute ones. The other one’s just a big ugly baby.
“What do you want to ride then?”
“Let’s ride the Ferris Wheel,” Kairo responded.
“Yes, mommy! Let’s go
Emery “But would you give up Devyn?” “And let him live on the farm with me?” Kairo frowned and took a sip from his water. “How do we know that you’re telling the truth? This is the first time that I’ve ever seen you in my life. I’m not going to give up Devyn that easily just because you claimed to be his father.” Noah looked down and nodded. “I know that it’ll be hard to believe. If I was in your shoes, I would most definitely be suspicious of myself too. However, I’m telling you this from one father to another. He is my son. I don’t know how I can prove it to you right now, but I wish that you could feel my sincerity.” “I know. I am a father, but I am also a leader. I can’t help but find other people guilty until proven innocent.” I could see that Noah was losing hope just as Kairo appears to lose his temper, so I decided to butt in. “He’s telling the truth.” Kairo and Noah turned to me, surprised. “How would y
ArloI was woken up by mommy shaking me awake. I rubbed my tired eyes and looked at her curiously. Why is she waking me up so early?I turned to Devyn, who was still sleeping soundly, and prepared to wake him up too. However, my mommy stopped me.“Don’t wake him up yet, bub. I just need to talk to you about something, okay? Let’s go to the other room.” My mommy carried me while I laid my head on her shoulder. I held tightly onto her while we went to daddy’s room. I could feel that something was wrong because mommy seemed sad.She placed me down on daddy’s bed and looked at me with sad eyes.I touched her cheek and looked at her with concern, “Are you okay, mommy? Why are you sad?”“I’m going to tell you something, hmm? Can you promise me that you would be okay with it?”I put on a brave face and straightened my shoulders. “You can tell me anything, mommy. I’
AmeliaI sat down near a lake, lying in the borders of the Blood Shadow pack. I can’t fucking believe that Kairo threw me out of the pack just like that. After all that I’ve done for him, even after ruining my body just to give birth to that fucking child.I pulled my hair in frustration and looked at my reflection in the water, and almost screamed at my appearance. What the fuck? My mascara has run down my face, and those pack warriors didn’t even tell me! I gathered some water in the lake using my hands and washed my face until it was red.Fuck, now I look hideous. He didn’t even let me pack my make-up before throwing me out. I hit my fist in the water, making it splatter everywhere.I screamed in frustration. “FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! This is all that bitch’s fault! I’ll make sure that all of them will pay for embarrassing me like this.”I tried to calm down and think of where I was going to go next
Amelia“And she might be half-Lycan.”I almost broke in character after hearing those words come out of Noah’s mouth. I covered my mouth in surprise while trying to hide my smirk. Fuck, I got more than I wanted in my visit to this farm. I guess being surrounded by stinky farm animals and scrawny men was worth it.I drank some water and went closer to Noah.“Are you sure?” I asked, wanting to confirm if what he just said was factual.“I—I actually don't know. But, one thing’s for sure. I heard those words come out from their own mouths. I’m not making this up.”I nodded my head and held onto his hand. He jolted in surprise but strengthened his hold. I internally shivered in disgust, but I made sure that it didn’t show on my face. “I believe you,” I said, trying to sound as sincere as possible.“But, you have to make sure that this doesn’t go out b
EmeryI woke up and felt a warm presence beside me. I opened my eyes and saw Kairo’s handsome sleeping face. I smiled to myself as I recalled yesterday’s events. I carefully reached out to the other side of the bed and felt relieved when I felt Arlo sleeping in the corner. I turned to the other side and gave him a kiss on the cheek. It feels like I’m with limited edition Ken dolls— with Kairo as the full-sized Ken doll and Arlo as his miniature version.They must still be tired, so I let them sleep in. I quietly moved out of the bed and went to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast. I decided to cook some grilled cheese with tomato soup since I recalled Devyn saying to me that this was Kairo’s favorite. I smiled bitterly. I really wish that Devyn was here right now, but there’s nothing I can do except pray for his well-being.I finished the dish right when Kairo came down while holding Arlo. They both had messy bed-heads, and I
Emery“Good evening, Alpha Kairo. How have you been?”We all froze as we looked at the phone with horror. “Cat got your tongue, Alpha? Were you expecting that I wouldn’t call anymore?”“Klaus,” Kairo growled under his breath.Klaus chuckled. “I’m touched, Alpha. You still remember my name.”“How can’t I remember the voice of The Council’s pet. You must still be wagging your tail in front of the Superior Circle, hmm?”Klaus paused for a while, and I could feel that he was getting agitated by Kairo’s words. “I’ve never liked you, Alpha, and you’re just proving that what we are about to initiate is exactly what you deserve.”We looked at each other, confused. “Cut to the chase, Klaus. What do you want this time?” I asked with a spiteful voice.“Ah, Emery. It’s refreshing to hear your voice. How
EmeryThe first thing that I felt upon waking up was coldness. Then it was followed by pain. Amelia poured ice-cold water over my head and slapped me awake. I tried to cup the painful area on the back of my neck, but my hands were restrained with metal chains.I looked around the room and saw Dante and Karina huddled over a corner, tied together with a rope. I glanced at the other side of the room and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Devyn was resting in Noah’s arms.Noah looked at me apologetically while stroking Devyn’s hair. I could see Devyn’s tear-stricken face from here, and I wanted to comfort him. I tried to break free from the metal chains once again, but they were attached to the house’s posts.I heard Amelia chuckling beside me. “Aww, can’t do anything, huh? It’s so satisfying to see you in the palm of my hands, Emery.”I mustered my most heated glare and looked at her. “Amel
KairoI bit my lips and bounced my leg as I looked at my watch in anxiety. It’s been over four hours since Emery and the others departed to go to Noah’s farm, yet I still haven’t received any confirmation that they’ve already arrived there. Moreover, no signs of intrusion have been found near the borders. I’ve doubled the pack warriors on duty today so we can have more protection, but it seems like those efforts will go to waste.Why do I feel an unsettling feeling in my stomach?I dialed Dante’s phone for what I felt like the hundredth time, but it only kept on ringing. Shit. Didn’t I tell him to update me as soon as they arrive? Dante always keeps his promises, so I feel like there is definitely something wrong.I started biting my nails, but two small hands grabbed my hand before I could.“Daddy, no! No biting of nails. Mommy said that it’s bad.” Arlo said in a reprimanding voice
Third Person’s POV On a warm evening in April, the Ford family members are all gathered at one table. Emery prepared their favorite foods, and it seemed like things were going well. They looked like a perfect family, and they are! However, Emery and Laura started talking hushedly and giggling as the dessert was served. Kairo leaned closer to her lovely ladies in an attempt to hear their conversation. Laura turned to her swiftly and scooted closer to her mom. “What are you doing, dad? Can’t you see that mom and I are talking?” Kairo pouted and bitterly ate his black forest cake. “You’ve changed. You used to tell everything to daddy. But I guess you’re too cool for that now.” Laura is now in middle school, and Kairo has been feeling melancholic these past few days. He feels like time is moving too fast, and his once cute children can now live without depending on him. Laura sighed and pushed her seat back in its original placement. “I always tel
Dalton“You signed me up for what?” I asked incredulously as I looked at my group of friends. They were all looking at me with wide eyes, and I couldn’t help but sigh out.Emery fiddled with her fingers and avoided my gaze. “We kind of signed you up for a speed dating event.”I threw my head back and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Out of all things that you could have signed me up for, you signed me up for speed dating? You could have signed me up for a hotdog-eating event, horseback racing, corn tending, you could have even signed me up for a Japanese karaoke reality show, and I wouldn’t hesitate to agree. But this! This is too much!” I said and shook my head.Karina went over to me and shook my shoulders. “Oh, come on, Dalton! All of the events that you’ve suggested are even weirder than the speed dating event! We saw the ad on a very reliable site, so you don’t have to worry about its l
DevynThe birds chirped as I removed the sheets from my body. I wrapped my arms around myself when I felt a soft breeze brush against my bare skin. I let out a deep breath as I felt the bright and vibrant sun lightly hitting my closed eyelids.Wait… Sunlight? Why am I feeling sunlight?I always wake up before sunlight.I jolted up from my bed and checked the time on my phone.8:00 AMWhat the fuck! Why the hell didn’t my alarm go off? I looked at my set of alarms and saw that they were all turned off. I slammed my phone down on the bed and screamed the name of the one and only culprit.“Arlo! You motherfucker!” I screamed while making my way downstairs to find that bastard. He was sitting on the dining table, leisurely sipping his coffee.“Oh! You’re awake. Good morning, brother. Great day, isn’t it?”I walked closer to him and slammed my fist down the table. The mug
ArloI looked at myself in the mirror and could not help but whistle in satisfaction. Staring back at me is the most handsome and charming man that I’ve ever seen. Of course, that man is me. The music in the background only amplified my beauty, and I couldn’t help but look at myself in wonder.However, my self-loving session ended when someone turned off the music. I turned around to scold the culprit and saw my mom.“Mom! What are you doing in my room? Privacy, please!” I said exasperatedly.She gave me a tired look and went beside me. “Arlo, please. I love you very much, and you’re a very handsome boy. But you’re turning borderline narcissistic. You’ve been hanging out too long with your uncle Dalton. I need to speak to your father about this.”I gestured towards my new shoes and complained. “But Uncle Dalton’s a cool guy, mom! He just bought me some new shoes for my first day of s
Third Person’s POVEmery stood anxiously by the door while Kairo bounced in excitement. It has been a while since they’ve gone out on a date, and today, they finally got the chance to do that. Kairo went all out and booked an expensive hotel just outside the city for Emery and him.“Are we really leaving our kids to him?” Emery asked.“Hey! What’s wrong with me?” Dalton asked, distastefulness heard in his voice. “Just look at the kids! They’re so behaved now that I’m here.”After Dalton said that statement, Laura pushed off the contents of the living room table while Arlo chased Devyn with a worm. It seems like the house became more chaotic with Dalton just being there.Emery looked at him incredulously. “Are you serious?” She turned back to Kairo and held onto his shoulders. “Let’s have our date some other time, okay? Maybe when the kids get older.”
KairoToday, Emery is taking Arlo and Devyn to their monthly haircut, so I had to stay at home to take care of baby Laura all by myself. Laura is now three years old, and she’s the most energetic that she’s ever been. She wasn’t awake yet at the moment, so I had some time to breathe for myself.Emery had just finished arranging the boys’ bags when I went behind her to give her a back hug.She chuckled and turned around. She brought her arms around my neck and gave me a peck on my pouty lips. “What are you acting like a big baby for?” She asked softly.“You’re leaving me alone,” I whined.Emery chuckled. “I’m only going to take the boys for their haircut. It’s only going to take two hours at most. Besides, this is going to be a great opportunity for you to exercise your fatherhood. You haven’t even tried being alone with Laura now that she’s a toddler.”
Third Person’s POV Time flew by pretty quickly, and baby Laura is now a year old. Being an exceptional baby, she quickly developed the skills of a toddler, even as an infant. At a year old, she can already walk and write basic letters. She can even hum a tune! However, what is strange among all of these, is that she hasn’t uttered her first words yet. There were plenty of times when it felt like she was finally going to say her first words, but she sure does know how to play push-and-pull. Since everybody’s anticipating her first words, they’ve placed bets among themselves on what her first words are going to be. The group of friends was sitting on the floor in the living room. Along with them were Arlo, Devyn, and the grandparents. Crassus slammed his foot down the floor and intimidatingly looked at all of them. “I’m telling you right now. Laura’s first words will be ‘mama.’ It will always be ‘mama.’ Every other child that I’ve known
Third Person’s POVEmery is currently nine months pregnant, and everyone inside the house has been walking on eggshells. Her belly has protruded so much that she couldn’t even see her feet, and the gang feels like she’s ready to give birth at any time. All throughout the week, there have been many false alarms, and I guess this day was no exception.Karina and Emery were sunbathing near the pool while gossiping about the new human settlers just near the borders.“Did you see the way those girls looked at our mates? I couldn’t believe that they have the audacity to take their numbers when we were literally next to them!” Karina rambled.“Right? And can’t that blondie even see my baby bump? Like hello? You’re hitting on a baby daddy?” Emery rambled with her.“Ugh, it’s so hard being a woman. Imagine! We’re the ones having our periods every month, we’re the ones who&rs
Third Person’s POVThe group of friends was currently sitting down on their living room couch, huddled over Kairo’s laptop. It was pretty late at night, so the kids had all gone to sleep. They were currently watching gender reveal parties on a video platform.Different kinds of snacks were laid down on the table, and only the sound of the videos, along with their munching, could be heard in the room. They were on their fifth video now, but each member’s reaction was still lukewarm. Tired from all the mediocre gender reveal parties, Dalton roughly shut down the laptop and stood up.“I’m sick and tired of these videos. They’re too boring! It’s not enough for the unborn child of the strongest Alpha in the world and a Lycan. We need to go beyond all of these! We need to invite every pack that we can and show the world just how precious your future child is. Who’s with me?” He exclaimed with exaggerated motions.
