KILL SWITCH. III.

Emma’s calves were burning from running up the mountains. Although she was not carrying anything, she was anxious because time was her enemy. And because she heard a plane rumbling over the pack.

She did not believe in coincidences. She suspected that the plane was where the controllers were hiding.

Marcus’ walkie talkie hissed to life and he dropped the generator to answer it.

“How high are you?” Steve asked with urgency in his voice.

“Very high, Alpha Kane, just a few more minutes till we reach the highest point, over,” Marcus answered as he breathed heavily.

“Look into your binoculars,” Steve said. “And turn on the night vision.”

Marcus did and sucked in a breath. “We have to hurry,” he said with a new sound of worry.

“Let me see,” Emma stretched her hands and Marcus gave her the binoculars.

“Goddess!” Emma exclaimed in fear. The Rogues, they were all standing still and watching Sterling creek from a distance. From the corners of her sight, she saw the small air p

  • The Healer's Bond    59. AFTERMATH.

    The smell of metal burning woke Steve up. He was on his back and he was covered in entrails and blood. The ground felt very sticky and reeked of flesh. It was still night and the moon shined brightly. There was something very different in the atmosphere.He groaned in pain as he sat up. A wave of dizziness hit him and he almost fell on his back again. His head throbbed painfully as he looked around. His black van was upside down and he had no idea where his sniper was. He was trying so hard to remember what happened.He got to his feet unsteadily and looked around. Dismembered werewolves filled the whole mass of ground around him. The smell of burning metal was still in the air. His brain was still trying to fill in the gaps as he stumbled on rogue guts. His ears were ringing and his eyes were trying to regain focus.His throat was dry as he swallowed.It worked. His memory clicked back into place as he remembered Emma and the Lunar electromagnet

    "Humans have no business knowing about this place," Steve said, his voice edged with tension, his expression brooding and worried. His sharp gaze scanned the dimly lit room, his jaw clenched in barely suppressed frustration.Emma understood what he meant all too well. The divide between humans and werewolves was vast, an unbridgeable chasm that had kept their worlds apart for centuries. That was how it was meant to be—how it had to be.Until last night.The discovery of two human bodies at an airplane wreckage site had shattered that fragile separation. Steve had found them, their lifeless forms sprawled amidst the twisted metal and charred remains, and the implications were horrifying."The only way they could have known about this place is if a werewolf told them," Emma mused, her tone thoughtful but laced with unease.Steve exhaled sharply, his fingers tightening into fists. The very idea made his stomach coil with dread. Betrayal of this magnitude wasn’t just reckless—it was treas

    "We have company, Alpha Kane," Marcus' voice crackled through the Walkie-talkie on the table. The air in the room shifted instantly, tension creeping in like an uninvited guest.Both Steve and Emma turned to each other, their eyes mirroring the same concern."The Sentinel?" Steve asked, already reaching for the device, his voice a mix of urgency and suspicion."Negative, it's Lady Long," Marcus replied.Emma's frown deepened.Lady Long? What was she doing here? What could she possibly want?"How do you know it's her?" Steve asked, his fingers gripping the Walkie-talkie tighter."I would recognize that limousine anywhere, Alpha Kane," Marcus stated with certainty.Steve inhaled sharply, his jaw tightening. "I'm coming outside.""Over and out," Marcus said before the line went dead.Emma folded her arms across her chest, watching as Steve pulled on a shirt. A part of her wished he hadn’t. Even after all these

    Steve was ready to flare up, his temper rising like a storm barely contained. His muscles tensed, his claws threatening to emerge, but a single warning look from Emma made him swallow the growl building in his throat. He exhaled sharply, forcing himself to stay in control. Now was not the time to let emotions cloud his judgment. Not when the stakes were so high.The silence that followed was thick, almost suffocating, as if the very air in the room had turned to lead. This was a revelation Steve had not been prepared for, a truth that slithered into his mind like a venomous snake."A dragon working with humans to hunt down werewolves," Steve finally said, his voice dangerously quiet. The accusation in his tone was unmistakable, laced with something far deadlier than anger—betrayal.Lady Long, standing with an air of effortless grace, did not flinch. Instead, she offered a slow, measured shake of her head. "You are mistaken, Alpha Steve," she replied, her voice smooth as silk, yet firm

    Emma was still reeling from all the things she had heard from the Dragon Lady. Her head was spinning with the weight of the revelations, and she could hardly believe how deep the Sentinel’s influence ran.“Wow… that was a lot,” she murmured to herself, standing up to stretch her legs. Her muscles were stiff, her heart heavy with anxiety. She had always found solace in movement, in pacing—walking helped her clear her head, but right now, no amount of movement could shake the turmoil within her.Steve watched her with an intensity that made her stomach twist. “I would never let them get to you,” he said, his voice a quiet promise that sent a shiver down her spine. His words held a raw possessiveness that wrapped around her like a warm, invisible chain. It was comforting, yet dangerous.She swallowed hard, nodding slightly but offering no reply. She didn’t doubt his words—she never had. Steve had already proven his loyalty to her, saving her from four monstrous werewolves when she had be

    They lay entwined in each other’s arms, as if the universe had conspired to bring them to this moment. The room was still, save for the rhythmic rise and fall of their breaths. The glow of the moon filtered through the curtains, casting a soft silver hue over their entangled bodies. It felt so right—so natural—that Emma almost wished she could forget everything else. Almost.Resting her head on Steve’s broad, sculpted chest, she felt the steady beat of his heart against her cheek. It was comforting. It was dangerous. She knew that this moment, as perfect as it seemed, was fragile—ephemeral. A question lingered on her tongue, one she had asked before, one that had haunted her for years.But did she truly want to ruin this fleeting moment with the past?She exhaled slowly, tightening her grip on the sheet covering her bare skin. The silence between them was not empty—it was thick with unspoken words, unhealed wounds, and truths too heavy to be spoken aloud.“You’re thinking again,” Stev

    Steve rode his expensive motorcycle at full speed as he tried to calm himself. Riding his motorcycle helped him clear his head but this morning was a bit different.He had experienced a really great time with Emma and he never imagined that sex with her could be that mind blowing.Seeing his pack finally healed of the virus made him happy for the first time in three weeks. He owed everything to Emma and for as long as he lived, he would use every waking moment to repay her as best as he could.He knew that he was very lucky to get her back into his life and after the going body to body with her, Steve knew that he was hooked and was not letting her go anywhere anytime soon.He wanted to feel the pressure of her pussy on his cock all over again. He would give almost anything to suck on her breasts and squeeze her body close to his.Steve saw the entourage of government officials on the horizon of the outskirts of his territory.Four police cars, four ambulances and two huge garbage dis

    The night air was thick with tension, the silence stretching between the men like an invisible noose tightening around their throats. The scent of burnt metal and charred earth from the crash site still lingered, mingling with the damp musk of the forest. Steve stood his ground, his piercing gaze locked onto the two men before him. He had already ruined their little secret, and they damn well knew it."I know you’re federal agents," Steve said, his voice as cold as the steel of his motorcycle. "And I don’t give a shit which agency you work for. But make no mistake—you’re the ones trespassing."The older of the two agents, a grizzled man with weary eyes, shifted uncomfortably. His partner, younger and brimming with barely concealed aggression, clenched his fists."We didn’t know—" the older agent began, but Steve cut him off with a sharp scoff."Bullshit. And even if you didn’t, you sure as hell do now." He jerked his head toward the twisted wreckage behind them, where men in hazmat su

    Steve was wrong. He had thought he would be able to predict how good Emma would be with those needles but he had been thrown off track by how deadly this petite healer was. She had taken down two big men that towered over her and she did not even need to transform into a werewolf to do so.In fact, the Alpha realized that Emma was deadlier as a healer than a werewolf. She was a living weapon. It made him feel even more stupid that he had rejected her for Sophia. He had been led to believe that her skills as a healer were useless but she had proved him wrong time and time again.She was the reason his pack was covered in pure moon radiation that not only healed him of his wounds but also eradicated the virus that affected him. As of this moment, Steve knew that Emma was the most valuable thing to him and nothing was going to change that.However, the Alpha knew that Emma had not forgiven him yet. Though her body responded well to his touch but her heart was anoth

    The big werewolf was momentarily surprised by the healer’s response. Emma had already sized him up. He was a big hunk of muscles and she knew how werewolf muscles worked. The big guy unfortunately did not know that. They all thought she was a just a doctor.The second huge werewolf smiled deeply. There was a sick glint in his eyes as he spoke. “We were really hoping you would give us a hard time, after seating in that cramped vehicle, you owe us some form of entertainment.”Sadists. Emma knew in that instant that she was not going to hold back because these werewolves were not going to do that either. They planned on inflicting pain.“I just have one question,” Steve said. “Sophia sent you?”“You are not in any position to ask anything of us, Steve Kane, no answer is going to save you from the pain you are about to experience,” The first one replied.“And what do you know of pain?

    “I would like to have a word with my daughter before you put her in danger, Alpha Kane,” Priscillia’s voice interrupted their conversation. Steve was a bit concerned and wary all of a sudden. He did not hear the Luna come in and that bothered him.“You will get used to it,” Emma whispered with a smile as she saw Steve’s surprised face. Her mother was very stealthy and it took most werewolves by surprise when she appeared without warning.Steve nodded and left both mother and daughter to talk.Luna Priscillia sat down on the bed and looked at the open chest. “I see that you have made your choice,” She said.“You were right,” Emma replied. “I have to be what the situation requires me to be.”Her mother sighed. “Emma, you are more than just a healer or a werewolf, at such a young age you saved my life, and for that I will forever be grateful.” Luna Priscillia said. &ld

  • The Healer's Bond    91. THE PAIN PRODIGY

    Emma felt at ease just being so close to Steven. His body felt like an emotional shield that was protecting her from all the troubles her life was bringing. She felt needed, safe and of she even dared to think, loved.Emma was strengthened by his assuring words but she was still in a dilemma on whether she should do what she really came here to do.“Can I tell you something about me?” Steve whispered as he gently broke the embrace. Emma frowned curiously at him and nodded. She had no idea what the Alpha wanted to say but she paid close attention because he was a mystery to her. “The tradition of attaining the role of Alpha in my pack is through combat and whoever loses the combat forfeits his life,” Steve stated, his voice hoarse with pain. “There is no other way.”“Do you know who I had to fight to the death before I became the Alpha?” Steve asked. Emma shook her head but deep down, she knew that she was not going to like the answer.“My father,” Steve replied. Emma raised her eye

    “You are not going through any identity crisis, Emma,” Priscillia told her daughter. “You know exactly who you are meant to be, what you are going through is nothing but denial.”Steve had no idea what Emma’s mother is talking about. But he knew that the discussion was a sensitive topic. One that affected Emma in a way he had never imagined.“I do not take lives,” Emma said in a hard tone. “That is not who I am.”“You are whatever the situation requires you to be, Emma,” Priscillia said.Emma sighed in tired manner. “I am no longer interested in this discussion,” She replied and stood up to leave the office.Steve and Marcus were confused by the abrupt exit of Emma.“Come,” Priscillia said and stood up. “Let me show you to your rooms.” Steve and Marcus followed the Luna of Moon Valley to a small but very clean room.“You must be very confused by what is going on between my daughter and I,” Priscillia said.Steve said nothing as he entered the room. It looked like a student room.“Hone

    Steve was shocked by what was playing out in front of him. “Your mother is the Luna?” he asked aghast.“And you are the Alpha that rejected my daughter’s bond,” Emma’s mother stated coldly.“Ma’am,” Marcus said, followed by an embarrassed bow.“Can we come in or am I still banished?” Emma asked in the same cold tone her mother had used. However, there was a bit of impatience in it also.“You may come in, daughter and you were never banished,” Emma’s mother crisply replied and turned toward the open doors. Emma rolled her eyes and followed her mother.Steve and Marcus followed Emma into the grand entrance of Chiron Healing School. The Alpha realized that there was so much he did not know about Emma as he walked beside her into the school. The hallway was pillared and spacious. There were students coming and going as the trio followed the Luna of Moon Valley further inside the building.“Why did you not tell me your mother is the Luna?” Steve whispered as they walked.“There will be no

    “We are being followed,” Marcus announced as he drove his Alpha and Emma down to Sarah’s place.“They have been trailing us from the hotel,” Steve said. “Courtesy of Sophia.”“Take us to moon valley instead,” Emma said after a while.“Why?” Steve asked.“We cannot lead then to Sarah, they might hurt her,” Emma replied. “Or worse.”“Or I can lose them,” Marcus suggested.“It will not matter, they will not stop coming after us,” Emma said.“But Moon Valley is very far away, it almost two hours ride from here,” Steve said.“Yeah, I know, but it is the next place to be at the moment,” Emma replied. “Plus, Marcus just tried to send a train filled with experimented monster wolves over there, I need to know what is going on,” the healer added.Steve nodded. “Moon Valley it is,” he said. The Alpha did not want to go back to Moon Valley because it brought about an unwanted memory. It was where he had coldly and cruelly rejected Emma.The car that was following their SUV was a black BMW with bl

    Emma bolted down the stairs leaving Sophia on her own. She did not need to imagine what was going on downstairs for her to know that it was a chaotic bloodbath on the ground floor of the house of Laurent. Screams of horror and agony filled the air as the sound of flesh tearing under the pressure of fangs assailed Emma’s ears. She gagged as she ran for her life. She saw severed limbs of the guests and bodies separated from their legs and heads. The ground was thick with blood and the monsters were everywhere, tearing, shredding, and killing anything that crossed their paths. “Emma!” Steve’s voice travelled across the room and Emma turned and saw a large hole broken through the house with the vehicle that Marcus drove in through it. Emma summoned her werewolf speed and raced with all her might towards the vehicle. A monster wolf saw the healer running and gave chase, snarling as it got close to Emma. It lunged into the air but it was stopped midair by a loud hail of bullets. It cra

    Emma began to understand why Steve and Sophia did not work out. “What if I die before I find a cure?” she asked Sophia. “What if the virus acts very fast and kills me on the spot?”Sophia did not reply. She looked stumped. “I did not think of that?”“I don’t think thinking is your strongest suit if I am being honest with you,” Emma mused as she looked around the room. She should be worried but she wasn’t.“You don’t seem afraid, doctor with the way you run your mouth, this is the end of the line for you, this is where your story ends.” Sophia said in hardened voice.“Is that how it works for you?” Emma asked. She took a seat on a soft cushion directly in front of Sophia, mirroring her seating posture. “Using fear as a means to get what you want.”“Fear is useful in most cases,” Sophia replied with a cold shrug.“And you think it is useful now,” Emma stated.Sophia did not reply. Again, she was stomped. For the first time, she had to really look at the healer sitting across from her. T
