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 47: First Day in the Office
Emily POV Easton set up my access code and we decided to let Ryan set up Hannah’s so she could choose it herself. The lead doctor was already expecting a call to schedule Hannah and me for new member examinations, so she told Easton we could go to her office at 10:00 am. She said he should expect two emails within the next fifteen minutes for Hannah and me to complete our medical history before the appointment. “Well, she seems very efficient.” I commented when Easton hung up the phone. “She is that. I think she’s everyone’s favorite doctor in the pack too.” He chuckled before adding, “She can scare kids straight with just one look though.” I laughed as he shuddered at what I could only imagine was a memory of the doctor. “What did you do to earn one of those looks from a doctor?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. “I’m sure you’ll hear about it when we get there later.” He grinned. I playfully rolled my eyes and walked around to see his computer. “Let’s see this ca
The Forsaken Daughter 48: Settling In
Emily POV After declaring I was confident that the doctor would be able to remain professional, I quickly tried changing the subject. I needed to calm my anxiety and distract myself. “So, what did you want to do today?” I asked Callie. “Oh, just a little shopping, and show you some of the inner workings of the pack.” She remarked. “There’s a laptop already set up in your office for you. I’ve already had you added to our server, but you can add yourself as a second user to have access to your current Outlook email or we can merge it with the new one so your contacts transfer and any emails get automatically forwarded. It’s up to you.” Easton explained. “I’ll probably just merge them. It’ll make it easier.” I admitted. “Do you want me to have someone do that for you?” Easton asked as he handed me a slip of paper. “No. I got it.” I answered with a smile. I glanced at the paper and saw it was my username and password. “Well, I’ll go to my office and get started on that.
The Forsaken Daughter 49: A Trio
Emily POV Hannah came in and sat in the chair beside Callie. I went to make a coffee. As promised, the coffee bar was fully stocked. I smiled and asked Callie and Hannah if they wanted a coffee. “Oh please!” Hannah gushed enthusiastically. Callie chuckled and replied, “That would be great! Let’s see what you got over there.” She came to look at the options while I started Hannah’s. I knew what she would want. “So, Hannah, we have to go see the lead doctor at ten. I was thinking after lunch we can go with Callie and let her show us around some more and do a little shopping.” I suggested. “The shopping part sounds great, but why the doctor?” Hannah frowned. “Just to start a file on us as new pack members. Also, I need birth control.” I shrugged. “Will you have to get a special kind because of the Fae half?” Hannah asked. “I think so. But that’s not
The Forsaken Daughter 50: The Doctor
Emily POV The entire drive to the doctor was filled with Ryan and Luke joking. Easton was driving and I was in the passenger seat, so we just ignored them. I was staring out of the window absentmindedly. I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that my entire life until a few days ago had been a twisted web of lies. I had no idea where to really even start to try to unravel it. The books from the library had given me an idea of some basic Fae abilities I should have, but I had no idea how to use them. I also didn’t know where to begin with finding my mother’s name, much less her family or the Fae kingdom. It was beginning to seem daunting, and I was suddenly feeling that I didn’t want to put my life with Easton on hold to search for the answers. Sparks dancing across my hand pulled me out of my thoughts. ‘Everything ok?’ Easton mind linked. ‘Yeah. Everything’s great.’ I replied

The Forsaken Daughter 73: Wise Words
Easton POV I felt like I’d lived an entire lifetime in the past three days. I could only imagine how Emily felt. I didn’t know anyone in the pack was part Fae, so it was a shock to learn Kent’s mate Michelle was. When Michelle agreed to speak with us upstairs, I thought we would just be discussing simple Fae abilities and maybe how Emily could use them. I definitely was not expecting Michelle’s grandmother to literally pop in and drop the answers to Emily’s questions right into our laps. I sat quietly while Aisling and Emily spoke, trying to take everything in and wrap my head around it. When Aisling said Emily’s mother was the Fae princess it explained why Emily had such a powerful aura and Alpha command. ‘So she’s technically a princess, too.’ Dallas preened. ‘I guess.’ I replied. ‘Definitely explains why she’s stronger than her dad.’ My heart clenched when Aisling said she would take Emily to the Fae kingdom, but I was quickly relieved when she added that she would t
The Forsaken Daughter 72: Real Answers
Emily POV “The entire Fae Kingdom?” I questioned. “Yes, dear. Your mother was the princess.” I blinked a few times as the words registered. I downed the rest of my drink before slowly standing and walking to refill my glass. If my mother was the princess, what does that make me? Surely they don’t expect me to rule the kingdom one day. I suppose that could also explain why Alpha commands don’t work on me and why I’m stronger than my dad. Everyone in the office quietly watched me as I walked back to the couch and sat down. “Who in their right mind marks some mediocre she-wolf when they’re already mated to a freaking PRINCESS?” I half-shouted to no-one in particular. I then remembered Easton saying he bet it was a love potion Katherine used. I turned to look him.
The Forsaken Daughter 71: Family
Emily POV We walked into my office and I walked straight to the bar. “Coffee or cocktail?” I offered. “An Old-Fashioned for us, please.” Kent replied. Easton had followed me to the bar and instructed me to sit while he made the four of us drinks. I went to sit on the couch and motioned to the chairs to instruct Kent and Michelle to sit as well. When we were all sitting, I took a deep breath as I contemplated where to begin. Easton gently nudged me. I took a large gulp of my drink before starting. “So, this information is confidential. Can y’all assure me you won’t discuss this outside of this room?” I asked. “You have our word. It remains between the four of us.” Michelle stated sincerely. “After we mated, I learned that Katherine is not my biological moth
The Forsaken Daughter 70: Startling Surprise
Emily POV Michelle was the opposite of most of the she-wolves I had met in Silver Springs, or ever, really. It was apparent that she had a no nonsense attitude and I was a bit taken aback at her grave demeanor. I felt an instant connection with Michelle for some strange reason. She didn’t seem to be overly friendly or over talkative, but I could sense something in her that seemed to tie us together. My wolf could sense it as well. ‘I don’t know what it is but it’s intriguing.’ Kyra mumbled to me. I was surprised to learn she was originally from the Conecuh Forest pack. Everyone I had met from that pack was usually playful and unserious. Like Jake without the arrogance and douchery. I told her I was originally from Blue Moon, and she looked at me quizzically for a brief moment and asked, “Who are your parents?” Hannah sensed my hesitancy and blurted, “She’s Alpha Adam’s oldest daughter.” “Well, I’ve always doubted the rumors about you, and after meeting you I’m glad I
The Forsaken Daughter 69: Smells like Teen Spirit
Emily POV Easton chuckled and slowly slid out of me. “It’s definitely my new favorite pastime.” He started to move away from me, and confusion washed over me until he reassured me with a light kiss on my forehead. “I need to throw the condom in the trash.” I hummed at his statement as he walked off. My eyes started to flutter closed, and I felt Easton slip back on the couch beside me and pull me close in his arms right before I drifted off to sleep. I woke up when the urge to use the bathroom hit me. I was cuddled close against Easton, and was thinking of a way to get up without waking up. I finally decided there wasn’t a way to do so since we had fallen asleep on the couch and I was between him and the back cushions. I tried to sit up, but he tightened his grip around my waist and mumbled something in his sleep. “Babe.” I whispered. I moved one hand to his cheek. He hummed in response and his eyes fluttered briefly. “I need to get up.” I said. He opened his eyes and loc
The Forsaken Daughter 68: Killing Time
Emily POV I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t for Easton to kiss the mark on my neck and ask, “Do you like this?” He continued to lick at the mark and kiss it and I couldn’t stop the small moan that escaped me as he did. “I more than like it.” I whispered. I slid my hands underneath his shirt to lightly stroke his back. His hands cupped my ass and I knew how I wanted to spend the time before dinner. He pulled his head from my neck and our lips met instantly. It didn’t take long for Easton to lift me, and I wrapped my legs around him. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up. He pulled his lips from mine just long enough for me to pull his shirt over his head. I was glad he’d decided to wear a polo shirt instead of a button up. Easton had walked us to the couch, and he sat down with me in his lap. I leaned back and pulled my own shirt off. His eyes darkened as he looked at me. He reached around to unhook my bra, and I let it fall. His mouth went to o
The Forsaken Daughter 67: Alone Again
Easton POV I followed Emily into the kitchen and ignored Aunt Evelyn’s teasing. I leaned on the kitchen island and watched Emily start the coffee maker and get creamer and a bottled water out of the fridge. She caught me watching her and leaned over the island to whisper, “Anything you’d like to share with the class, Alpha?” “I definitely don’t want to share this with anyone.” I murmured. Emily stood to walk back and add creamer to her now-finished cup of coffee. She put the creamer back in fridge and asked, “Did you want anything?” “I think we gotta wait for what I want.” I winked. “Well, can’t say I’m surprised by that.” I heard Aunt Evelyn say from behind me. “Well, at least I’m not trying to drag her off with y’all in the living room.” I mumbled. She smirked at me and looked at Emily. “I have that monthly dose for you. It should be effective within twenty-four hours of taking it, so I suggest using other methods for the first day or two after.” She handed Emi
The Forsaken Daughter 66: Relief
Easton POV When Emily got out of the SUV I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I was relieved she was finally back in my sight after only a few hours apart. I gave her a tight hug and started to passionately kiss her, but quickly remembered our audience and pulled away. I looked at Callie when I heard her giggle. “Told you they were miserable.” She winked at Emily. “Babe, you know it’s normal for newly mated couples. Besides, Easton got teased enough today by Aunt Evelyn.” Luke laughed. I turned to glare at him and saw that Luke was watching Ryan and me knowingly. I guess he had experienced this feeling when he and Callie were newly mated. I told Emily they could go upstairs and we’d get the bags, but she said it would be quicker if we all got them. Callie suggested taking them to their suite, so we decided on that. Once we had all the bags, I turned to dismiss Kent and Mitch. I was taken by surprise when Kent and Mitch looked to Emily and asked to carry the
The Forsaken Daughter 65: Online Shopping
Easton POV “Aw, come on! Can’t we play a few more games?” Ryan whined. “Fine.” I grumbled. “We’re playing Mario Kart, though.” I knew it would be a good idea to distract myself (and Ryan) from the fact that our mates were out shopping without us. We walked over to the side of the arcade where game consoles were. We sat down and grabbed three controllers to start our game. Several Mario Kart races later, Ryan and Luke were both pouting at my wins. “How do you always beat us in this?” Luke mumbled. I shrugged. “When you’re the best, you’re the best.” I smirked. Ryan huffed in annoyance. “I’ll win one day.” “Not today. It’s time to go back to work.” I said as I stood up. Ryan and Luke followed me. “Why is it so empty in here today?” I asked as we walked towards the exit. “Probably because school isn’t over for the day.” Luke said. I took my phone out to check the time and grumbled internally. Time seemed to moving slower than usual. Luke seemed to know what I
