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

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
