Peter Bennett. It hurts my heart to see my mate so sad. I totally understand why. Apollo doesn’t stop howling, given the emotions we feel, through the mate bond, which she does not know exists. I see the woman in front of me and I feel so blessed that she is mine. “Start, from the beginning, Peter. I want to know everything.” I swallow hard, as I watch my beautiful mate looking at me with her eyes wide open, waiting for what I have to say. I clear my throat and say, “There are different societies in this world. Humans are just one of them. Different creatures live among them, such as werewolves and Lycans.” I continued, “Our culture collaborates with humans, but we do not mix. This means that we can do business with them, work with them or for them, but we do not match with them. It is forbidden to be with a human being.” Emma interrupts me by asking, “What’s the difference between a werewolf and a Lycan?” “A werewolf can turn into a wolf when required. They are two entities sha
Parker Bennett.Dazed by the journey my brother forced me to undertake to the northern lands, I am glad it is over. I’ve been abroad for months and I just miss my bed and my space.It was a very hard time, where I could achieve what I wanted: information. Peter will be happy with everything I discovered about King Harry.I get off the plane and am pleased that William, Peter’s beta, is waiting for me.“Nice to see you, Prince Parker. I hope the flight was uneventful.”I smile at him, tired, as I say, “Thank you, William. Yes, it was a comfortable trip, despite the distance. Tell me, how is my grumpy brother?”I watch as William shares a nervous smile, as he says, “Our king, he has met his mate, my prince.”I stop dead. “What? How? When? Who is she?”To tell the truth, I always believed that I would find her first. I always tried to take comfort in the fact that, if I wasn’t king, I would at least have my fated mate. But I see that the goddesses laugh at me once again.As his twin, we
Emma Spencer.I gasp in surprise as I see this man, extremely similar to Peter, looking at me from the doorway. He lunges at me, pinning me against the wall with his body, and pressing his hips against me. He takes my hands and places them above my head.It took me completely by surprise, but it was the sexiest thing a man has ever made me feel.Whisper in my ear, “mine.”His touch and his breath on my skin send thousands of sparks that run through my body, making me melt before his touch, losing all notion of reasoning. I let out a moan as I closed my eyes.I feel him run his tongue over my neck, and I can’t help but bite my lip. Out of nowhere, a shocking roar resonates from the door.I turn my head and see a livid Peter looking at us from the doorway. He’s panting heavily, and I can see he’s trying to hold back.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, Parker?”I open my eyes wide, look at him and say, “Parker? Who is Parker?”Peter, without leaving his place, tells me with a hoars
Peter Bennett.After chatting with Emma and having her stay with Maddie playing in the garden, we met with Parker in my office.He enters and sits on the couch, placing his legs on the table. He does it because he knows it’s something I hate.“Can you take your feet off the table? What is the matter with you?”He rolls his eyes as he says, “You’re no fun, Peter. Well, I’m here. We have a lot to talk about.”I watch as the door opens, and it is William who enters, sitting on the single sofa in front of me.With William, we have the implicit deal that outside the house, he calls me boss, Mr. Bennett, or king, depending on whether we are with our people or with the humans.But inside the house, he calls us Peter and Parker since he grew up with us. He is my best friend.The three of us used to get into trouble, getting into mischief. He was always the mastermind of evacuation plans. Remembering those times makes me smile.I watch as he greets Parker with a set of hands, which they have al
Emma Spencer.Once Parker, Peter, and William assembled, they exited the office and joined us in the kitchen. Maddie and I baked cupcakes since we had agreed that we would visit Dad. Gosh, dad!“Hey pumpkin! What are you doing?” Peter tells her, with an amused smile.“Silly daddy. We are baking cupcakes. Mommy said we would see grandpa.”I watch as Peter looks at me with his eyebrow raised. “Oh, yeah?”I put my hands on my waist, as I say, “Do you have something to tell me, Peter?”Maddie looks at us and says, “oh - oh… daddy’s in trouble.”Parker laughs as he says, “Daddy still hasn’t learned not to make Mommy angry.”Maddie laughs as she tells him, “Yes. Daddy has to learn.”“Hum… I’m right here, you know? You are talking like I’m not in the kitchen.” A grumpy Peter speaks to them.“Emma, I assume that if you’re baking, it’s because you’re coming with us,” William tells me. There’s something strange about him. He looks at me cautiously, as if he were hiding something. I feel like h
Emma Spencer.“Dad, why is my wolf asleep?”It’s a question I can’t help but ask. I watch as my father sighs as he says, “I knew this conversation would come at some point.”That phrase makes me very nervous. Parker, sensing how I feel, sits next to me, holding my hand. He draws circles with his thumb, sending those delicious sparks throughout my body. I close my eyes, focusing on the sensation.Somehow, I hear him in my head saying, “I know you said you didn’t want physical contact, but you need us, just like we need you. Let me help you babe, because I know these calms you down.”I close my eyes and nod in silence. He tells me, “Just focus on the sparks. Let them wash over you and breathe slowly.”I do what he tells me and after a few minutes; I feel my pulse slow down. My father says to me, “Are you okay, honey?” “Oh? Yes, now I am.” I look at Parker and whisper with a smile, “Thank you.”I clear my throat as I say, “Dad, just tell me. I need to know the truth.”“I suppose the kin
Peter Bennett.After the conversation at John’s house, we drove quickly toward the suburbs. William was an experienced driver and avoided any traffic.Once we get there, Apollo tells me, “Something’s not right, Peter.”“What are you talking about?”“Smell the air.”I do what Apollo tells me, and my instincts kick in quickly. My eyes change color and I tell the others, “Someone from the north was here.”Parker and William look at me and go into defensive mode. William tells me, “I’ll check the perimeter. You two enter carefully.”We both nodded silently. We skirt the house and enter through the kitchen.There is no need to struggle with the door since it was open. Parker tells me by mental link, “Fuck! We arrived late. These bastards got ahead of us.”I growl through the link. Then I tell him. “We go to the office.”We walk through the house and see it all messed up. Whoever was here was looking for something. “How the hell did they track John down so quickly?”“Don’t know. But I can t
Parker Bennett. Once Jack notified Peter that there was a strange movement at Emma’s house, William drove at full speed, without first requesting reinforcements at John’s house to collect all the items that could give any indication of Emma’s existence and Maddie. During the journey, which did not take that long, we all remained in complete silence. Each one was immersed in their own thoughts. The repercussions of all this are extensive. If Harry could move his people that quickly, it means he has people hiding here. I’m scared to think about what could happen to Emma and Maddie. “Stop thinking the worst, Parker. You always do the damn same thing.” Fenrir tells me with a soft growl. “I can’t help but think the worst, Fenrir. Yourself saw the stupid things Harry does to people who are not loyal to him.” “Harry feels scared. Every day, there are more people defecting or plotting against him.” He goes on saying, “If our world knows which Emma exists and that there is already an he
Warren Foster.One year later…The time I’ve been away from Emma has been so hard. Every night I have felt her pain. My chest tightened, feeling the damaged bond.Every night I have felt absolutely helpless.It was so difficult knowing that your mate needed you and not being able to be with her. Every once in a while, Emma would force the mate’s bond to reach me...I gave in for a few moments to make her feel that I was okay. But I always ended up closing it completely.There has not been a day or night that I have not missed everything about her. I get the impression we fought a lot, since Emma is just as stubborn.But I knew me… I was too stubborn to give in. I knew deep down that if I couldn’t remember how I was able to accept them, then everything we had been through would have been in vain.No... I had to remember... I was hopeless about achieving it.In recent months, I have not only dedicated myself to tracking down traitors. I have also undergone every type of known therapy or
Third point of view.5 months later.After Warren and Emma’s heartbreaking separation, their lives went their separate ways.Warren went north and took his sister Wilma, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the act of treason towards the heir to the throne.Every so often, he contacted Peter to see how Emma was doing. During this time, Warren dedicated himself to tracking and hunting down all traitors to the crown. Elder Sullivan was the first to fall.Due to all the events that occurred, the political map of their worlds changed drastically.It was agreed that there would be a queen who would decide in all areas, accompanied by the council of elders, and would always have 4 mates, which could be fated or chosen. Each of them would be in charge of a cardinal point: north, south, east, and west.Each pack that was at these points must report to their Alpha King.The royal pack changed and was in the center of the map. Its inhabitants were only Lycans originally belonging to both
Emma Spencer.After Warren talked with Damon for over three hours, I left him in his room to rest. Then I went to the intensive care wing and sat in the waiting room to get some news about my father’s health.There were Parker and William.They both saw me coming and sat next to me. Silently, they traced circles on my hands, accompanied by a soft purr, allowing me to remain calm.I hadn’t seen my father since Harry had caught me, so I did not know what his true injuries were.They both respected that I didn’t feel like talking, so they stayed with me in silence, while I was immersed in my thoughts... alone.When I asked the beta why it took so long, he said he told him everything we had been through together.Yes. We’ve been through a lot.What I still don’t understand is why the goddesses have abandoned me... During all the recent events, none of them have shown their face. What the fuck have they been doing up there? Did they know everything that would happen and they felt sorry for
Warren Foster.I opened my eyes, after having been unconscious for I don’t know how long. It was difficult for me to do it, because of the light in the room.I frowned as I looked at the gorgeous face of the woman who was in front of me, examining me. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.And without waiting, I asked her, “Who are you? Do I know you?”Honestly, I remembered nothing. I didn’t even know my name. I saw that, on the other side, there was a man who shouted, “Doctor!”Who were all these people? I asked myself.“Well, I don’t know who they are, but I remember you are Warren Foster.” A voice spoke inside my head.I frowned. “Who are you?” I told the voice.“Damn! Don’t you remember me either? Let’s see if this refreshes your memory...”And like a fast movie, the voice showed me many images of my life.I felt as if all these experiences were overwhelming me, because of the intensity or the emotional charge behind them.All those images became memories... but in no
Emma Spencer.I could not control my tears. Martha was lifeless in my arms.I put my hands on her neck and invoked all my power. I felt how its warmth enveloped me and came out through my hands, like soft waves.I watched as, with each pulse, the torn flesh came together. This, until I looked at my mate.Seeing Warren collapse in front of me made my blood run cold. I think his face will be with me forever, as I notice Ezra wounded him with the same dagger that was supposed to take the beta’s life.“I’m sorry, woman.” He said. Making my heart stop.I shouted his name as I set Martha down on the ground, lying down. The only thing that was on my mind was to get to him.His eyes were closed, with his hands placed on his stomach. The dagger that Ezra wounded him with was doused with the three liquids that Peter kept in his office.“Warren! Damn it!” Peter cursed, as he put Wilma down and helped me with Warren.“His wound won’t heal, Peter!”“It is the effect of poisons. We have to take him
Emma Spencer.With his face pale and completely taken aback by the situation we were in, Warren whispered to Peter, “It’s Wilma!”I frowned and said, “Wait, your sister Wilma?”He nodded silently, while Peter gestured with his index finger at us to shut up.“Come here! Baby… Let me feel you! Hum… What a nice piece of ass you have!” Ezra told her while we listened behind the door as he slapped her butt.Honestly, none of the three of us understood anything. Wilma was supposed to hate Ezra and want to make him pay, but here she was just seconds away from being rammed by him?“Ah – ah – ah… move your claws away, Ezra. You and I have unfinished business, and if you want to fuck me again, I suggest you sit down and keep your cock in your pants.”Now the three of us frown. I opened the mental link and said, “Do any of you understand anything? Because frankly, I understand nothing.”Peter said, “Let’s hear what they’re talking about. We can’t do anything until we have verbal confirmation tha
Peter Bennett.Life had changed us drastically. Gone were the days where our biggest problem was finding our fated mate.Now, we had to deal with bigger problems: Maddie.I still couldn’t understand how that... monster had entered the pack and, above all, find my little girl’s whereabouts.It’s all so... strange! We have spent months with the queen’s guard and they have showed their potential and power. They are very good. No matter how much I try to think about it, it doesn’t seem to me they have been defeated.And if he thought about Martha and Elizabeth, who together were a force of nature, the odds of them being defeated were very low. As much as I thought about it, something smelled terrible.And that the son of a bitch told Emma to wait until she saw what he did to John and Jenny? When they could keep her safe for thirty years!No, it was too easy. Why was Ezra able to get in that so easily? And what bothers me even more is that I haven’t been able to communicate with anyone. It
Emma Spencer. Hearing my little girl’s voice made time to slow down. It felt like everything was in slow motion. Her sobs would be something that would torment me forever. I wasn’t there to protect her. “Baby girl, it’s mommy... I’ll go get you, do you hear me? Your daddy and I will come for you… You have to resist, darling. Remember what you learned!” It was the only thing I said to her when I heard they took away the phone. “What’s going on, Emma? Is Maddie okay?” Peter growled next to me. “Tell me right now who you are!” I shouted, not knowing the voice that came out of me. “I told you, bitch. Who I am is irrelevant. What you should know is that the guards left to protect her failed in their task…” “What the fuck are you talking about?” “Ah… and your parents… ha ha ha… I can’t wait for you to come back and see with your eyes what I did with them…” In a second, I felt like my life was going to hell... my daughter, my parents... Who the hell was this damn sick pers
Emma Spencer.“Warren?” I whispered to him, as if I was just coming out of a trance that had my mind clouded.He frowned, looked at me as if he didn’t recognize me, and asked, “What happened to this place?”The little light there was in the space went out, leaving us in absolute darkness. With his eyes lost, he whispered to me, “It’s cold.”And at that moment, I understood that my beloved had given up. I yelled at him, “Warren? Oh, no! My Goddess, no, please… WARREN!”I pulled at him, tears pouring out like waterfalls. “Please, darling… Don’t leave me! SOMEONE HELP ME!! Warren, stay with me! I will fight, I swear I will never give up again… But stay by my side!”I hugged him tightly to my chest. I closed my eyes hard and, following my instinct, I invoked all my power, which took us to another place... a warm one, one that promised us well-being.I don’t know how much time passed, but an incessant beep could be heard next to me. Voices were talking about topics I didn’t know about... I
