The Forsaken Daughter 53: A Tad Embarrassed
Easton POV Aunt Evelyn gave us all a hug, and when she was pulling away from me she asked, “Did you pick up the wrong body wash in the shower? It smells like women’s body wash.” I quickly masked my shock at her question. “Something like that.” I mumbled.Aunt Evelyn looked at Emily and the rest of the room erupted in laughter. I had a sudden feeling the secret conversation from earlier was about me smelling like Emily’s body wash. “Let me guess, you washed your Luna with your body wash so she pulled a fast one and washed you with hers?” Aunt Evelyn mused. “Well, if I have to smell like his body wash all day it was only fair. It’s not like I don’t already smell like him.” Emily chirped. Aunt Evelyn praised her. “Well, I can see you’ll be keeping him straight.” As she went to sit down she noted, “I’m glad to see nothing seems to be destroyed in here.” Emily sat beside me as Aunt Evelyn asked her and Hannah to tell her about themselves. I could feel Emily’s contentment as sh
The Forsaken Daughter 54: Hangry?
Emily POV I was starting to feel irritated on the drive to the deli. I knew it was irrational because I couldn’t place what was irritating me. I figured it was just nerves over how she-wolves would treat me in public today. I didn’t expect Easton to pick up on it, but when he asked if I was good and Hannah said I was hangry I was floored. Just yesterday I told them I don’t get hangry. Kyra laughed in my mind. ‘You most definitely are.’ I admitted to Easton I might be a little hangry, through the mind link of course. He just answered that service was quick. ‘Good, because I’m starving.’ I thought to myself. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the deli. Of course, I knew what the delis were like in my old pack, but I also knew they were completely different in other states. We walked in and I saw the deli was a mix between traditional delis and southern delis. It was quite busy, but looked to be running smoothly. We got in line to order, and the couple in front of
The Forsaken Daughter 55: Another Problem
Emily POV The walk to the bank didn’t take very long, and Paisley was waiting for us. “I hope you didn’t rush your lunch to meet us here.” I told her as she led us to her office. “Of course not, Luna. Although I would have gladly done so if need be.” She boasted. “Well, I guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t necessary today.” I replied. True to our outing so far, all six of us went into Paisley’s office. Ryan and Luke stood so Hannah and Callie could sit in the two chairs not occupied by Easton and me. “So, what can I help y’all with today?” Paisley asked. “We just need to get debit cards for Emily and Hannah. I apologize for bringing the entire crew for this.” Easton informed her. “No apologies necessary, Alpha. We are all excited that you and Beta Ryan have found your mates.” Paisley chuckled. ‘Poor Easty. He must not like having to share his mate.’ Callie giggled in the mind link. I suppressed my laughter at her statement. ‘It’s probably because he didn’t get shower s
The Forsaken Daughter 56: A New Sister
Emily POV “What’s your name?” I asked the employee. “Kacie.” She replied. “Well, Kacie. I’m not sure what your issue is, but it must be hard to be so rude to someone you’ve never even met. So, congratulations on your achievement. I know your parents must be so proud.” I smirked. Kacie’s eyes widened and I could hear a few customers whispering to each other. “Now, I don’t expect anyone to fall at my feet when I walk by, but I do expect to be treated with the basic respect or at the very least, with common courtesy, just like anyone else would expect when they wish to patronize an establishment, or to just simply EXIST.” I rebuked. “Now, will that be a problem for you?” I demanded. “I-I’m sorry. What can I get started for you?” Kacie whimpered. I mind linked Callie. ‘Is there another coffee shop nearby?’ ‘It’s on the other side of the shopping center, maybe a ten minute walk.’ I placed my order, and looked to Hannah and Callie for them to do the same. I then decided to ma
The Forsaken Daughter 57: Baked Goods
Emily POV I thought Hannah was a professional shopper, but she had nothing on Callie. We went to seven different stores, and at each one she all but threw items at us to try on. We had to make a trip back to the SUV to drop off our bags after each store, and I was beginning to think we wouldn’t be able to fit anything else. In between Callie picking out our clothes, I managed to also look around and find a few small things for my office and the apartment. Both places just needed a little personal touch from me. “Let’s go to the bakery for a snack, now.” Callie proclaimed after our most recent trip to put our bags in the SUV. I glanced at the time on my phone and realized it had only been a few hours. “I feel like we’ve been shopping all day. How is it not even four yet?” I commented. Hannah laughed, “That’s because you don’t shop enough.” “Whatever.” I huffed. “Where is this bakery?” Callie linked her arms with ours once again and led us towards the bakery. It was a s
The Forsaken Daughter 58: Teasing the Beta
Emily POV We piled into the back of the SUV while Kent and Mitch stood by. Once we were inside and the doors were shut, Kent and Mitch took their positions in the front. At least they take their job seriously. “I didn’t expect to be out so long. I didn’t get the chance to show y’all around the pack or our processes or anything.” Callie observed as we pulled out of the parking lot. “It’s fine. We have plenty of time.” I assure her. “Yeah, it’s technically only our second full day here.” Hannah noted. “I guess you’re right. There’s no reason to rush.” Callie stated. I knew someone had let one of the guys know we were headed back, because as we pulled up all three were waiting outside for us. Easton greeted me with a tight hug and a short but passionate kiss. I heard Callie giggling and turned to look at her. “Told you they were miserable.” She winked. “Babe, you know it’s normal for newly mated couples. Besides, Easton got teased enough today by Aunt Evelyn.” Luke
The Forsaken Daughter 59: Unpack and Snack
Emily POV We walked past the suites to the communal area on the gamma floor. The guys sat the bags down on the couches. The couches and chairs were all a shade of mint green and stood out against the cream colored walls. The coffee table and side tables were a light wood color, and there were a few paintings on the wall of different types of flowers. “Who decorated in here?” I asked. “I did.” Callie boasted. “Well, I love it.” I smiled. It didn’t take very long to go through and determine who the bags belonged to. Once they were sorted, I instructed everyone to follow me into the kitchen. Kent and Mitch were still standing near the door. “You two as well.” I chirped before turning to the kitchen. Once we were all in the kitchen, I took the cupcakes out of my bakery bag and opened the box to hand everyone a cupcake. We stood around eating cupcakes and chatting. I noticed Callie and Luke didn’t seem to touch each other as constantly as Easton and me or Hannah and Ryan. I
The Forsaken Daughter 60: A Name
Emily POV I blushed. “Oh. Well tell them yes please.” “I did. They’ll be here in a couple of minutes.” Easton replied as he stood. He walked over to me and held his hand out. “Let’s get you off the floor, baby girl. I’ll help you with that after my parents leave.” I took his hand and allowed him to help me up even though it was unnecessary. After I stood I wrapped my arms around his waist and nuzzled my face into his chest. I took a deep breath and basked in his comforting scent. Sparks danced along my arms as he trailed his fingers up and down them. “What is it?” He asked soothingly. “I’m just enjoying this.” I smiled as I looked up into his mesmerizing blue eyes. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead before putting his arms around me to pull me tightly against himself. “Me too, baby girl.” He breathed. We stood in a tight embrace for a few moments until we heard the doorbell. He sighed before releasing me. “At least my parents have better manners than my best fr
