The Forsaken Daughter 43: Training
Easton POV I knew it was Ryan at the door. Emily laughed as she scurried off to the bathroom. At least he knocked instead of just entering the apartment, which reminded me that I needed to set up codes for Emily and Hannah today. ‘You can come in now.’ I linked Ryan. The whirring of the lock sounded and Ryan peered his head in when he opened it. “You’re dressed, right?” He asked before walking into the living room. “Why, you don’t want to see me naked first thing in the morning?” I asked as I walked out to the living room. “He might, but I’d rather not.” Hannah laughed out. “Yeah from the smell in here I’d say it’s a good thing you told me to wait.” Ryan said to Hannah as he looked at me. “Why are you here so early in the morning, Ryan?” I questioned. He shrugged as he answered, “Dude. I texted you. We’re going to train this morning before going to the office.” I rolled my eyes as I went back to the kitchen to clean up after breakfast. Ryan and Hannah followed
The Forsaken Daughter 44: Group Breakfast
Emily POV I surprised myself a little when I managed to successfully pin Easton. I knew I was a strong fighter, but I’d never actually gone against an Alpha. When Hannah and Ryan had finished teasing Easton, I stood up from the mat. None of us had brought water, and I really needed some after that match. “I need a drink after that.” I mentioned. “Luna, it’s still morning! At least wait until lunch.” Ryan playfully scolded. I scoffed and replied, “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start early.” Easton busted out laughing and stood up beside me. “There’s a water cooler over by the locker rooms.” He said. I hadn’t even noticed the locker rooms when we came in. They were on the other side, slightly hidden from view by all the different workout equipment. We all four walked over to that side of the gym. The back half of the gym had all kinds of different workout machines and weight equipment. It would be great to do cardio and weight training in the pack house ins
The Forsaken Daughter 45: A Bit Deep
I was so lost in thought I didn’t realize we had walked all the way to the Alpha floor. A shower would be great right now. “What are you thinking about?” Easton asked with a small smirk. “A shower.” I replied as I opened the apartment door. I heard Easton mumble under his breath while I walked towards the bathroom. I turned the shower on and stripped out of my clothes while waiting for the water to warm up. I stood admiring the enormous bathroom. I’d been in here plenty of times already, but never truly looked at it until now. It was very modern, and the separate bathtub had to be big enough for four people. The toilet was on the other side of a half wall, and the walls were painted a light smoky grey. I was torn from my admiration when two large arms wrapped around my waist from behind. “You sure are looking hard at the bathtub for someone that was thinking about a shower.” Easton whispered. I turned my head to look at him and smirked, “I was just waiting on you.
The Forsaken Daughter 46: Wavelengths
Emily POV I heard Easton turn the shower off as I walked into the closet. Kyra was pouting at me for not doing more in the shower. I don’t really know what I want at this point, though. It would be easier to travel and find the Fae Kingdom and get answers before being responsible for a child. I put on my undergarments and stood in the closet trying to decide what to wear for my first official working day. Easton walked in just as I decided to wear smart casual attire rather than business casual. “You still trying to tease me, baby girl?” He asked with a wink. “I’m sure I will later.” I laughed. “What are you wearing today?” I added. “A business suit, of course.” He replied. I peered at him for a moment and caught a mischievous glint in his eyes. So he’s teasing me now. “Hmm. Maybe I’ll wear one of your suits, too.” I smirked. “I’d let you.” He grinned back. I took my clothes off the hanger and started getting dressed while Easton did the same. “So, what are YOU
The Forsaken Daughter Chapter 1: Unwanted
Emily’s POV “Emily! Em, it’s time to go!” My friend’s voice cut through my thoughts. ‘Why doesn’t she mind link us?’ my wolf, Kyra, asks. It was time to leave for the gala. Once a year, our pack hosts a gala for unmated wolves. Several neighboring packs are invited. They also host their own galas once a year, but I try to avoid going to these galas whenever possible. I don’t expect to ever find a mate, despite being the Alpha’s firstborn. I’ve always been unwanted. Ever since I can remember, I’ve yearned for a feeling I’ve never felt. My parents didn’t want me. My siblings didn’t want me. I was just alone in the world no matter what I did. I tried everything to get attention and affection from my family. I was the perfect daughter and student; an overachiever really. I woke my siblings and got them ready for school every morning, helped them with homework and even did their laundry. I practically raised my brothers and sisters. Despite all that, I never felt wanted or needed
The Forsaken Daughter Chapter 2: Unexpected
Emily’s POV Hannah and I go downstairs, ignoring whatever nonsense Kate is saying now. We see Kate’s mate Tyler as we approach the front door, and he makes some comment about nobody wanting us. We just roll our eyes and walk out the door. I tell Hannah we can just take my car. She happily exclaims that her mate can bring her for her car tomorrow. She’s too optimistic for me sometimes, but I guess one of us should stay positive. The event venue is only a ten minute drive. Hannah is chatting the whole drive, pondering what her mate is like. “I hope his favorite cereal is different than mine. I’d hate to fight over the last bowl of Fruit Prbbles. I would love if he’s blonde and not too tall.” I lightly chuckle at that because she has a point there. Hannah is only 5’2” and most wolves still tower over her when she’s wearing heels. She’d get a permanent neck ache having to look up to a tall guy all the time. She then asks, “Em, what do you think your mate is like?” Before I e
The Forsaken Daughter Chapter 3: Surprise
Easton’s POV I really don’t want to attend another mating event. I’m almost 25, and it seems pointless to look for my fated mate at this point. My parents insisted I attend Blue Moon’s gala this year since I haven’t been to their pack in four years. As we pull up to Blue Moon’s event hall, my wolf, Dallas, perks up. ‘What has you paying attention tonight?’ I ask, but he doesn’t answer. Ryan, my future Beta and best friend, wiggles his eyebrows at me as he opens the door. “You ready to find your mate tonight, Alpha?” he asks. I roll my eyes as I get out of the car. I quickly mindlink Ryan, ‘We’re staying one hour. That should be enough to appease our parents.’ He just chuckles back at me through the link. He hasn’t found his mate either, but he’s in no hurry to do so. Right before we walk in my phone starts ringing. I sneak a glance at the screen and see it’s my younger sister, Megan. “Go ahead, Ryan. I’m gonna take this real quick.” I say before turning away. Megan found
The Forsaken Daughter 4: In a Trance
Easton POV Time seems to stop as I stare at my mate. Dallas is howling in my head and trying to take control. I manage to keep him back as he urges me to move to our mate. She’s still frozen in place. She seems hesitant and I’m instantly nervous. I slowly approach her and for what seems like an hour we just gaze into each other’s eyes. Something about her eyes hypnotizes me and I almost forget where I am. Dallas quickly snaps me out of my trance. ‘Stop standing there drooling like an idiot and introduce yourself!’ I blink a few times at his words and open my mouth to speak. Before I can say anything, the beautiful woman in front of me softly speaks. “H-Hi. I’m… Emily.” My wolf lets out a small growl of satisfaction as I imagine how sweet her voice would sound moaning my name. She slightly blushes and I want to be the only one to make her blush. “I’m Easton. It’s an honor to finally meet you.” Emily scrunches her nose and I can tell she’s wondering what I mean by that. I quickly
