Emma was sated in ways she never imagined possible. She was more surprised that Steve was knocked out cold and his cock was still hard inside her as he slept cuddled behind her. His shaft was still pulsing in her pussy and it felt so good.However, she knew this goodness was not going to last because this was all just a fantasy in her head. She had fulfilled it now and soon the real cold and brutal world outside would come knocking hard anytime soon.The knock came in form of Sarah who called her phone. She gently nudged the Alpha behind her back and slowly moved away squeezing him one last time with her slit before easing off his cock.A soft sleepy moan escaped his lips as he rolled over and kept on snoring. He looked even more beautiful asleep. Emma thought as she watched him with a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.She picked up the phone from the night stand and answered it.“Sarah,” Emma answered as she walked naked to the balcony. It was still dark outside but the
Emma and Steve waited at the lobby of the Dolphin Hotel. Emma was nervous to go outside because she knew that the monsters would be on her and the Alpha the moment, they both set foot outside.She paced back and forth trying to calm her nerves.“What is the plan again?” She asked Steve. They had planned to trace the silver badge to the hideout of the Sentinel but it had been a deadly dead end. Someone knew they were coming and set monstrous mutated wolves after them.“We wait for Marcus,” Steve said, flipping through a newspaper. “Then we will pay a visit to Continental Pack.”“Is that wise?” Emma asked in a worried tone. “We are entering their turf.”“That’s why we are waiting for Marcus,” Steve replied as he read.As if on cue, the Beta walked in. He was in another one of his crisp expensive suits.“Alpha Kane,” Marcus said with relief.“Good to see you, Marcus,” Emma said.“Did you bring it?” Steve asked his Beta.“I must say, Alpha Kane, you have not spent a day here, and things a
Chapter One: The BondThe moon hung blood-red over the Spring Equinox celebration, a crimson eye watching the gathered wolves below. Emma Adams smoothed her silver dress for the hundredth time, trying to calm her racing heart. At twenty-three, she'd attended enough pack ceremonies to know the routine, but tonight felt different. The air crackled with possibility, heavy with magic that made her wolf pace restlessly beneath her skin, claws scraping against her consciousness with growing urgency.Through the towering windows of the Sterling Creek Pack house, moonlight painted the marble floors in shades of ruby and garnet. Emma's fingers trembled as she tucked a loose strand of dark hair behind her ear, the familiar scents of pack and home doing nothing to calm her nerves. Her wolf was never this restless during ceremonies, yet tonight she prowled through Emma's mind like a caged thing, sensing something momentous on the horizon."Stop fidgeting," her best friend Lily whispered, nudging
Emma's hands wouldn't stop shaking. Three attempts to pack a simple suitcase, and she'd managed nothing but a mess of scattered clothes and broken sobs. The rejection bond throbbed like an open wound in her chest, each pulse a reminder of Steve's cold eyes. She stumbled to her bathroom, gripping the counter as another wave of pain ripped through her body. Her wolf clawed at her insides, desperate to run back to the pack house, to beg for what they'd lost."A healer apprentice? The Sterling Creek Pack needs someone of proper breeding..."His words echoed in her mind, each syllable a fresh cut. The mirror caught her reflection—mascara-stained cheeks, silver dress now wrinkled and stained with tears. Her green eyes, usually bright with determination, looked hollow, haunted. Emma ripped the dress off with trembling fingers, the silk tearing with a satisfying screech. She couldn't bear its touch against her skin a moment longer. It represented everything she'd lost tonight, everything she'
"Dr. Adams, we need you in Trauma One!"Emma dropped her half-finished coffee and sprinted down the Seattle Grace Hospital corridor, her sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. Friday nights in the ER were always chaos, but something in Sarah's voice set off her instincts. Not just urgency—fear. Her wolf, usually dormant during her hospital shifts, stirred uneasily beneath her skin.Five years of emergency medicine had taught her to read the signs. The way the nurses avoided her eyes. The peculiar tension in the air. The subtle shift in scents that her weakened supernatural senses could still detect. Whatever waited behind those trauma room doors wasn't a typical case.She caught the metallic scent the moment she pushed through the doors. Wolf blood. The distinctive copper-and-lightning smell hit her like a physical blow, making her wolf surge forward with recognition."Male, early thirties," Sarah rattled off, falling into step beside her. Her friend's usually steady hands sho
Emma's hands didn't shake as she snapped on fresh gloves. They couldn't. Not now. Not when every second mattered. She'd spent five years building walls around her heart, learning to be Dr. Adams instead of just Emma, the rejected mate. But all that careful distance threatened to shatter as the ambulance sirens grew louder.The trauma bay doors burst open with a bang that made her wolf flinch. Paramedics wheeled in the gurney, their voices clipped with urgency. "Male, multiple lacerations, possible chemical exposure—"The words faded to white noise the moment she saw him. Steve Kane lay unconscious, his proud features twisted in pain. Blood soaked through his torn shirt, turning the fabric from navy to black. That same wrong chemical scent clung to his wounds, stronger now, more potent. Someone had wanted to make sure the Alpha didn't survive this attack."Start two large-bore IVs," Emma ordered, her doctor's training taking over where her emotions threatened to fail. Her voice remaine
"Three dead wolves in one night." Emma stared at the toxicology reports spread across her office desk, the numbers blurring after eighteen straight hours on shift. "All with the same modified poison."Sarah locked the door behind her, carrying fresh coffee. "The labs came back on the latest victim. Blood work's identical to the others.""And getting worse." Emma pulled up the molecular analysis on her computer. "The poison's evolving. Each batch is more sophisticated than the last."Through her office window, she could see Steve's room across the hall. He'd finally fallen into a restless sleep, his fever hovering at dangerous levels despite her magical intervention. Even unconscious, he commanded attention—the Alpha in him refusing to be diminished by something as mundane as near-fatal poisoning."You should get some rest," Sarah said, studying her face. "You've been running on fumes since they brought him in.""I'm fine.""Right." Sarah's tone dripped skepticism. "That's why you've b
It was more serious and deadlier than she thought. “Put them under a lot of morphine,” Emma hastily ordered the interns as she jogged back into the intensive care unit ward. Her heart wrenched as she watched Steve shiver in pain with his eyes rolled up into his dead. For the first time in after five years, she was at loss at what to do.See this as a challenge. She told herself. You are a healer, and one of the things that comes with it is solving the problem. Now, what is the problem?She looked at the charts monitor and saw that Steve’s fever was getting higher by the minute.“What do we do?” Sarah asked as she looked at Emma pensively.“A CT scan immediately,” Emma said. “We need to see exactly how this virus works, we need to see how it multiplies, we need to see how it regenerates, from there, we will know what to do from the results.”Sarah left the room to get the interns to wheel the Alpha to the lab.“Interesting,” Emma whispered. The Viruses were actively working and attache

Steve had always been a leader all his life, ever since he took the mantle of the Alpha in his pack. Every decision making had to go through him to be approved. He was a natural at telling people what to do and even better at forcing his will on werewolves weaker than him. He was a master in his own right.But in his large hot tub he with Emma, the control was out of his grasp. The healer always took charge when he was naked. He was at her mercy. Even if he was dominating her, she was still the one in control.Emma spread her legs, letting go of his head and eased back into the tub. Steve massaged his jaw as it ached due to the long time he spent licking and sucking on her clit. His tongue tasted deeply of her and he loved it.Emma pushed him gently on his back and he leaned against the other edge of tub. She climbed on top of him and hungrily claimed his mouth, breathing down his throat. She wanted more of him.She grabbed his long hard cock and began to softly stroke it under the hot
Steve was very aware that this healer who had jumped off the train with him was very wet and naked. His senses were screaming with a raging hunger that surprised him. He had broken the bond that was to intertwine their fate but yet his body called for hers. And fate was a cruel thing. It had brought them close together for the second time but with a broken bond between them. A broken bond he was secretly trying to mend. “I did not think you had it in you to do that,” Steve told her, referring how she had brutally knocked the humans out on the train. “Believe me that makes two of us,” Emma replied and sighed in contentment. The hot water was soothing and it helped to calm her tense-filled bones and muscles. Though it did nothing for the much hotter place between her legs. “I guess this means that you finally know what it means to do what you would not want to do to protect what matters most to you,” Steve replied in a husky tone. “This is how you feel every day?” Emma asked in di
It was a squirrel. She had been spooked by a wild rodent. She would have laughed if the agony she was going through was not so overwhelming that she felt it deeply into her body. She felt everything.With a lot of pain and great effort, Emma changed back into her human form. She groaned and moan as pain shot through her whole body.Her back was on fire and she had no feelings anywhere in her legs. She had no idea where Steve was.As Emma laid there against the tree, I began to see just how dumb jumping off a fast moving train was. What was she thinking?She had not been thinking. In fact, tonight on the train was the first time in her life where she had to be violent towards anyone.As she lay there, slowly healing she began to understand exactly how Steve felt.The healer was surprised by her own anger and how quickly she took down those Sentinels.She hated feeling vulnerable like this. Her thoughts were hold
"I am not ready to give up just yet, Steve," Emma said. "My pack needs me." Steve nodded. "Let's go to the control room," He said and got up. They were both in the last sixth coach and they needed to be fast. Emma noticed that the train had gained speed. She knew that it was heading for Moonlight Valley train station. She needed to stop this train from making it there. Right now, she did not need a moping Alpha. She wanted the stunting dare devil werewolf who fear nothing. When Steve opened the door that lead to the fifth coach, they were with a sight that greatly worried them. Cryostasis filled with infected wolves just like the ones at Sterling Creek was stored in this chamber. There was no moon radiation to help them if these things got released onto the her pack. They kept on walking till they got to the fourth coach. They met pretty much the same. By the time they
"How did they find us so fast?!" Emma asked in disbelief as she looked at the sideview mirror. "It seems the scent we wore as worn off," Steve said keeping his eyes on the road as he sped on. The Wrangler had more torque speed than the Pontiac so the wolf monsters were not catching up yet. "Look!" Emma yelled. "There is the train!" Steve swerved till he got off the road and was now speeding along side the rail track. It was a speeding train so he had to really speed up the jeep till it got to the train. The large wolf monsters were chasing them at full speed trying to get to them. "We have to get on the train, its the only way to be safe from the things!" Steve said as he neared the train, maintaining the speed to match the trains own. He saw a railing and a back door. "Ladies first," He said. "What? Are you crazy?" Emma yelled i
Emma could not believe what she seeing not to talk of what she was hearings. There were things going on and it was bigger than she could ever imagine. "We want our destinies to be in our hands again," Saber said as he sat down behind his make shift desk. The office was small but they all managed to squeeze in. "Everyone you see here was once a member of the biggest pack in the werewolf community," Saber continued. "Continental Pack Alliance," Steve said. "Yes," Saber nodded. "It has the largest number of werewolves in existence and I think that was the problem." "I have heard of the pack before," Emma mused. "Almost everyone in the werewolf community as, Doc," Saber replied. "What happened?" Emma asked. "It's a long story, Doc," Saber said but he looked eager to tell it. "It all started with a discovery. A scientific and magical discovery. This discovery was from a research of a genius healer. A science that can break werewolf bonds." Emma swallowed nervously. She remembere
Emma did not know how she was conscious through the numerous tumbles of the Pontiac."Emma!" Steve released a strangled yell. "Are you alright?"But Emma could not answer. The car was upside down with with gasoline and brake oil leaking. She was dizzy and Steve's words sounded like a distant echo.She shook her head to clear it of the ache and to gain back her eye sight."Emma!" Steve yelled again.The wolf monsters were closing in, Steve was stuck and so was Emma. They were going to be ripped apart if they did not act fast.The savage growls coming from the monsters got nearer."Shit!" Steve yelled desperately as he tried to shake Emma awake.A loud shot rang out and one of the monsters dropped just beside the totalled upside down vehicle. It's head was gone, leaving only a bloody jarred neck stump.Two more loud shots rang out and two more monsters met the same end.Steve realized just how smart the monsters were as they retreated. They scattered into different directions so fast, i
