2024-10-29 19:42:56Emily’s POV
As happy as I was for Hannah, I did not want to spend the rest of the night alone. I could also tell her mate was not from our pack, and I wasn’t looking forward to my one true friend leaving. I took a deep breath and went to turn towards my favorite bench in a secluded part of the garden, when I was suddenly hit with the most wondrous scent of espresso and ocean. Kyra jumped in my mind and shouted, ‘Mate!’ I turned towards the scent and locked eyes with the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. His blue eyes were so mesmerizing I felt that I could stare into them for an eternity. I was imagining how it would feel to run my fingers through his cinnamon colored hair when Kyra interrupted my thoughts. ‘Walk over to him and he’ll probably let you find out how a lot of things feel.’ We walked towards each other and as he approached me, his eyes were wide and he seemed to have also lost his voice. I managed to stutter out my name. I’ve never in my life stuttered so what the hell was that about? He replied that his name is Easton, and I must have made a face when he said it was nice to finally meet me, because he quickly added that he didn’t think he’d ever find his mate. I was shocked I wasn’t the only one to think that. Easton pointed to Hannah and her newly found mate and asked if she was a friend of mine. Well I assumed he meant her. I was happy to learn that Hannah’s mate is Easton’s best friend. At least I’ll have a friend wherever we end up. Kyra purrs in my mind when Easton suggests going for a walk, and I’m more than happy to oblige when he adds that I should lead the way. I take his hand and I feel glorious sparks shoot from my fingertips up to my shoulders. I definitely wasn’t expecting them to be that strong, despite everything I’ve heard. I ask Easton what pack he’s from and he replies with Silver Springs. I begin to feel a glimmer of hope at the thought of finally leaving Blue Moon before the name fully hits me. I instantly recognize the name and I feel my face fall as I quickly put two and two together and realize he is the future Alpha of Silver Springs. Easton isn’t a very common name, and I’m familiar with the names of ranked wolves in most of the Southeastern packs, even though I haven’t met half of them. Easton quickly tries to reassure me that I don’t need to worry about being his Luna, but that’s not the reason behind my concern. Kyra also butts in, ‘You’re the oldest and strongest child of your parents. Of course we deserve to mated to the future Alpha of one the largest packs.’ I link my arm through his and continue to lead us to my favorite bench as I tell him I’m more concerned about my parents’ reaction to him. They have always expected me to be mated to an unranked wolf, even though they never explicitly said that. I can tell by how they treat me as a nanny or housekeeper. We sit on the bench and I tell Easton I’m Alpha Adam’s oldest daughter. I realize I was fiddling with my hands in my lap when Easton grabs my hands and sends sparks all over my fingers and arms. I turn to face him, and I’m drowning in his blue eyes when he speaks. “Why would the Alpha and Luna expect their oldest daughter to be mated to an unranked wolf?” I let out a small sigh as I reply, “They have always treated me more like a nanny and housekeeper than a daughter. If my brothers end up mated to an Alpha’s only child and taking over that pack, they’ve already named my younger sister and her mate as their heirs.” Easton gently places one hand on my cheek, and my heart flutters at his closeness. “Your parents are fools to not see how truly wonderful their daughter is. You were smiling almost as brightly as your friend when she found her mate.” His words make my entire body tingle, and I can’t help but think of how I want to be closer to him right now. It’s almost as if he read my mind, because he starts to lean forward until his soft lips are on mine. I gasp with surprise, and then lean into his warm kiss as I move my hand to the back of his neck. His slow, sensual kiss is probably the best thing I have experienced in my life, and before I know it he’s pulling me sideways into his lap. We’re wrapped around each other as I deepen the kiss and I inadvertently moan as my body explodes with tingles and sparks. I suddenly feel the bulge in his pants, and I want nothing more than to let him take me right here. I’ve been saving myself for him after all. I hear the snap of a twig and it brings me back to reality. I lean back and look at Easton, but I feel kinda empty. “We should probably head back.” I breathe out. I have no idea how long we’ve been here. “Yeah, we probably should.” He replies with a sigh. We stand to go back, and out of my peripheral vision I see Easton discreetly adjust himself and I can’t help but smirk. Kyra is prancing in the back of mind and seems quite pleased with that fact.Related chapters
The Forsaken Daughter 6: Rumors
Emily POVAs Easton and I head back towards the building, I feel Hannah trying to mindlink me. ‘Em, where are you? I want to introduce you to my mate!’I reply back, ‘I was in the back garden on my bench. I’m walking back towards the building now. I have someone to introduce you to as well.’‘Ohmygod don’t tell me! Did you find your mate?!?’ She squeals over the link. ‘I’ll meet you at the pool.’ I reply with a soft laugh before closing the link. I glance at Easton and tell him Hannah is waiting by the pool for us. He smiles and says, “Ryan just told me he’s waiting for us there. I told him I found my mate but I didn’t tell him we already know our best friends are mated to each other.”I grin and I’m glad we’re on the same page. “I can’t wait to see their faces when they realize. Be prepared though because Hannah will probably scream with joy.” I tell him. He stops walking and I feel like my heart nearly stopped. “I almost forgot. I have to call my sister real quick because she want
The Forsaken Daughter Ponder
Emily POV Hannah and I return to our mates, and my heart seemed to be trying to leave my body when I saw Easton’s face light up in a smile when he saw me coming back. I never thought I’d see anyone look at me like that in my life. He doesn’t waste any time sliding his arm around my waist and Kyra pranced and preened at the display before gloating, ‘It just feels so natural and right. Mate is already enamored!’ ‘Like we’re not?’ I chuckle back. I’ll admit it, I’m enjoying the fact that he seemed to inadvertently pull me close as soon as I returned. I noticed Easton doesn’t even have to touch me to leave a trail of sparks on my body. I can feel them a couple inches away. I don’t want to do anything other than stay tucked in his side and breathe in his delectable scent right now. Everything is so perfect in this moment. He’s so tall that even though I’m wearing high heels, he’s still about six inches taller than me. I think of how the moon goddess had the perfect mate for me all
The Forsaken Daughter Confusion
Emily POV“Did y’all ride together?” Hannah asked Easton and Ryan. “We did. We have extra clothes too, of course.” Ryan answered.I already knew where she was going with this. “We rode together too. So y’all can follow Hannah and me to the pack house or you and Hannah can take my car and I’ll go with Easton.” I said, earning a smile from all three. Easton quickly chirped up, “I personally would prefer that second option if everyone else does.”I quickly gave him a side eye before adding, “I think I would rather have Hannah drive my car though. I’m sure Ryan can drive just fine, but I trust Hannah more.” Hannah looked at me wide-eyed, knowing how I truly feel about her insane driving. I just stare back at her blankly and see a shift in her expression when she realizes what I’m doing. Kyra chuckles in my mind, ‘Are you really trying to use this as a test? Crazy.’ ‘Um, yes I am. I need to see how they react to a woman driving instead of a man.’Easton surprises me when he says “Since y
The Forsaken Daughter 9. Revelation
Easton POV Dinner was going well until Jake and his flavor of the night approached us. I had forgotten our earlier interaction, but as he came up to our table I remembered I faintly smelled Emily on him before. He spoke to Emily like they were close before walking away, and I couldn't help the low growl that came out as he and his "lady friend" turned to leave. I honestly wasn't sure if it was because of the way Jake spoke to Emily or the death glare the she-wolf gave Emily as they left. I tried to hide the disdain in my voice when I asked Emily how she knew Jake, but Dallas quickly let me know it didn't work. 'Oh, good job, Easton. Make our mate think we don't trust her already.' Her friend Hannah answers quickly, and I notice Emily takes a slow deep breath before speaking. 'Shit, Dallas. I think I pissed her off already.' I grumble to my wolf. I see him huff in my mind before he turns and ignores me. Emily's answer explains why Jake slightly smelled like her earlier, and I can he
The Forsaken Daughter 10. Moving Forward
Chapter 10 Emily POV I was so ashamed and embarrassed after my parents’ phone call. I just put the park’s address in the GPS and sat in the car. His scent is overwhelming in the car, but it helps to soothe me. I hoped Easton couldn’t feel my emotions through the bond, and even though he shouldn’t be able to feel them until we’ve marked each other, sometimes Alphas will feel the bond stronger even before making it complete with marking and mating. The silence was a bit uncomfortable at first, and I didn’t even realize I’d spoken out loud when I said they’ve always hated me and I’ll never be good enough. Easton reached over and grabbed my hand, and I could feel his worry and confusion, so I knew he could feel my emotions already. ‘How does this person I barely know already seem to care more than my own parents?’ I think to myself. Kyra pipes up, ‘Because our mate is perfect and was created for us by the moon goddess. Our parents are just stupid.’ I can feel Easton’s sadness when
The Forsaken Daughter Firsts
Easton POV My heart nearly exploded out of my chest when Emily said she would stay in a room with me. I thought for sure she’d want to stay in a room with her friend, especially after what she told me about her parents. Dallas was running circles in my head, and it took all I could do not to immediately pick Emily up and run to the room with her. She didn’t hesitate when I took her bag and held her hand as we walked towards the elevator. When she leaned against me in the elevator, I took the chance to breathe in her intoxicating scent. I quickly realized that was not a good idea because I was instantly hard. I could hear the fluttering of her heartbeat when the elevator stopped. At least I’m not the only nervous one. I know there are plenty of rumors about me being with multiple women, but I haven’t actually been with any women. I’ve always wanted to wait for my mate. When we walked in the suite, I sat our bags down and asked Emily if she wanted to shower and Dallas yelped.
The Forsaken Daughter Marked
Emily POV I didn’t expect to fall asleep while Easton was in the shower. I woke up and could feel warm electricity coursing through me. I realized Easton had moved me to the bed and I was still wearing my dress. I tried to quietly slip out of bed without waking him, but he stirred and my heart skipped when his eyes met mine. I told him I was just going to take a quick shower. Once I was in the shower, Kyra started filling my mind with thought of what to do when I went back to bed. I could feel my cheeks blushing and tried to turn the water colder to cool myself, but it didn’t help. I turned the water off and dried off before realizing I forgot to put gym clothes in my bag last time I used it and therefore didn’t have clothes I could sleep in. I sheepishly went to the room in my towel, and fortunately Easton had an extra t shirt I could wear. I got back in bed and snuggled back into Easton when he confirmed I could. ‘Of course he wants to be close, I bet he’s ready to take us now.
The Forsaken Daughter Complete
Emily POVEaston was still inside of me as we lied there soaking up the feeling of our newly formed bond. His emotions ran through me stronger than before, and the pure love and happiness coming to me through the bond was overwhelming and calming at the same time. I was recounting the events that had just occurred when I felt his cock twitch and harden inside of me. I looked at him through my lashes and could feel his desire. I took his face in my hands and a low growl rumbled in his chest. “Fuck, baby girl. We’ll never get sleep again.” I giggled as he took my lips in his. The kiss was more intense than before, and I felt my own juices begin to coat him again. I moaned at the need building inside me, and started grinding on him. The friction against my clit sent pleasure coursing through my body. “Ride me, baby girl.” He moaned.I pushed myself off his chest to straddle him. His hands shot to my breasts and I let out a long moan as he caressed them and rolled my nipples between his

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
