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 61: Concerned Parents
Emily POVI felt an instant connection when Marie said my mother’s name. Laura-Beth Hebert. The words floated through my head over and over. I finally knew her name and could hopefully use it to find more family. I had so many questions about who her family was and what I would learn from them. Would they even accept me when I found them? Would they be willing to teach me about the power I supposedly had even if they didn’t accept me as family? I wanted my wolf’s opinion and thoughts. She seemed to know more than I did, even if she didn’t willingly share it most of the time.Kyra had retreated to the back recess of my mind, but I could tell she was content and just trying to process things. I decided against trying to discuss the matter with her, and just let her be for the time being.“Sweetheart?” Marie’s concerned voice cut through the rush of emotions and thoughts that I was drowning in.I brought myself back to the present and looked at Marie. Her face relaxed when I met her eye
The Forsaken Daughter 62: Panic or Shock
Emily POV “I’ll get the door.” Jason chuckled as he stood up. Marie stood up and followed him to the door. Jason opened the door and Aunt Evelyn came rushing in blurting questions. “Where is she?! Has there been any change sin- Oh.” She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw I was perfectly fine. She took a deep breath and spun on her heel to look at Marie. “You could have given me this update BEFORE I ran here in a frenzy. Do you KNOW how many stairs I just ran up?” Aunt Evelyn gritted out through clenched teeth. “Yes and I must say, it’s quite impressive that you still managed to get here so quickly despite all those stairs.” Marie grinned. Aunt Evelyn’s mouth fell open. Jason turned away from us to shut the door, but it was obvious to all of us that he was really just trying to hide his quiet laughter. Marie walked past Aunt Evelyn and tapped her on the shoulder before sitting back down. “Sorry, Ev. I may have panicked just a tiny bit and then was too distracted to
The Forsaken Daughter 63: Sparkly Drinks
Emily POV Aunt Evelyn said goodbye and left. Marie and Jason shared a comical look before they busted out laughing. “What?” Easton asked with a raised eyebrow. “It’s just funny watching her get all flustered!” Marie chortled as she tried to compose herself. “Maybe for y’all. She still threatens to beat me like I’m ten.” Easton grumbled. “Are you saying you’re scared of your aunt?” I questioned. “Not scared. But she IS a doctor. She could kill someone and make it look like a natural death.” He reasoned. Jason and Marie laughed. “You four boys were troublesome. We had to scare sense into you somehow.” Jason smirked. Easton shrugged. “Well, let’s get back to where we were.” Marie instructed as she sat back down. “Yes. So you had a dream and met your mother, then you had a dream of a memory.” Jason said. I thought for a second. “Yes, and my dad said something about Katherine using a potion.” I answered. “Hmm. I wonder what kind of potion she would have used.” J
