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
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
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
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
Easton POV We walked into the deli and happened to be in line behind Charles and Paisley. I suddenly decided to inform Charles that the elevators needed to be installed in the pack house sooner than we had originally planned. Emily and I had a brief conversation with Charles and Paisley before they ordered their meals and went to eat. I was surprised Emily didn’t seem to notice the looks she was getting as we walked through the deli. I had a feeling she would want to handle it herself, so I let it go as we ate. Our stop at the bank didn’t take very long, and as much as I didn’t want to be apart from Emily, I had already arranged for two of my warriors to meet us and drive the ladies around for the afternoon. I headed towards Charles’ office, and Ryan and Luke decided to go to a nearby arcade to wait. “Just don’t cause a big scene when y’all get too competitive.” I stated. “Bro, we would never.” Luke declared as he and Ryan walked away. I rolled my eyes and went into Charles’
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
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
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
