Emily

THE PAST

Emily woke up with a smile. It was her 16th birthday today. She couldn’t wait to spend the day with her family and friends. She raised up quickly and jumped out of bed but then suddenly she stopped. She was dizzy and felt sick.

Noooo not on her birthday of all days. But something was off, she didn’t feel right. Did she have a fever? Wolves always ran a little hot, but this was something else. She was unnaturally hot and her entire body ached. She laid back down in the bed when her brother, Alan came busting in her room.

“Happy birth…… Emily, what’s wrong?” Alan asked her.

“I feel sick. I’m feverish and dizzy.”

He reached down and felt her head, frowning. Then he looked at her, deep into her eyes and stared there a moment. Then…. he slowly began to smile.

“Alan… what could you possibly be smiling at right now? I need medication or something..” she said.

He stood up and walked over to her dresser, picked something up then came back to her bed.

    EmilyThe PresentShe was brought out of her memories by the front door closing, her brother bringing in some bags of food. They were staying in the house right next door to her, but she knew they’d be here with her most of the time. Once dinner was ready and they sat down to eat the conversation turned to the trial. Of course they wanted to know what happened, and she wished she could tell them everything but she couldn’t, not yet anyway. You never knew who was listening, and she wouldn’t put it past Nick to have his guards spying on her… or Sophia anyway. There could even be listening devices in this cabin. So she told them it would all come out soon….. and as soon as she felt safe enough, she would tell them everything. They had no choice but to agree. Once they finished eating someone knocked on the door. The closer she got to the door, the slower her steps became. By the time she was at the door she just stood there looking at it… not opening it. They knocked again… scari

    Lorenzo He grinned at her obvious uncomfortableness. For some reason he enjoyed that he could still make her squirm. After what felt like hours of the two of them staring at each other.. she finally spoke. “Do you wanna come in?”“No that’s okay I just stopped by for a minute… I’ve got paperwork I need to get to.” He told her. The life of an Alpha was never dull that was for certain. Especially for him. His pack was the largest now in their entire region, so he was constantly busy. The Crow pack was easily the most prominent and influential in the North Americas. Lorenzo had worked tirelessly to get it that way too. It had taken him a couple years to build his pack back up but he had done it… whether people agreed with how he had done it or not. Emily walked outside to the porch and shut the door behind her. “I’m surprised to see you.” She said. He looked at her and tilted his head. Surely she’s joking. He walked up closer to her and looked down so they were staring in each

    Emily Emily tossed and turned all night. Her interaction with Lorenzo had her all worked up. She couldn’t get comfortable even though it was the first time she’d slept in an actual bed in days. She was burning up. She got up and stripped down to her underwear then opened the window. Hopefully the sounds of the forest and lake would settle her. But still, she couldn’t sleep. She was too hot. She didn’t remember the last time she was burning up so much…. Probably the day of her first shift. She fell into a troubled sleep, remembering the fever and pain from that day long ago…..THE PAST Emily had fallen back asleep on the couch. Her dad was putting rags on her head dipped in the ice buckets he had brought in. She would wake a few moments, then drift back out again. She watched as he placed the cloth that had been on her head into the ice. It was so hot from her fever she could see the ice melting. She didn’t know how long she had been there but then she heard a familiar voic

    Emily The Present. Emily woke the next morning with a start. She had barely slept any the night before. Memories were plaguing her mind, plus her run in with Lo the night before hadn’t helped. After a quick shower and breakfast, she and her brothers made their way back to the middle of the community…. back to her trial. Her brothers had told her the man who she had been calling ‘Red’ was actually named John. However everyone did in fact call him Red because of his hair. They had never met him either until now…. but had heard of him, and believed him to be fair. Emily certainly hoped so. Reymond, who was head of the council, that Emily knew from past pack meetings was a good man. She knew he would listen to all the facts before forming an opinion. Then there was Red….. whom her brothers believed to be fair. That left three other council members. The fourth man, who’s name was James Arthur but everyone called Jay was known to be extremely stubborn in his ways. He had staye

    Emily She could see it the moment it happened … when Nick realized what he had said. He’d stuck his foot all the way in his mouth and down his throat. So much that he seemed to start choking and had to cough a moment before he could answer. Emily knew there should’ve been guards there that night. But then so much had happened since then, she’d forgotten to even question it. “Oh yes… well…. They weren’t there.” Nick said. “Where were they?” Reymond asked. “I’m…. Im not sure.” Nick said. “Isn’t that something you ought to know?” Glasses guy asked him. “I’m afraid that seeing my sister on the ground and my mate as her wolf took precedence to everything else.” Nick was getting snappy. “Alright…” Red tried to calm the room down some, “who was supposed to be there?” Nick looked down a moment then said he wasn’t sure. But they had archives of who was on patrol that night…. There were wolves who were members of the guard, they signed a sign up sheet and wrote the area where they w

    LorenzoLorenzo had gone back to the cottage he was staying at after the trial had ended for the day and immersed himself in work. He could really go for a run.. he needed to let his wolf out and stretch his legs. But he knew Nick’s guards would be out and on high alert. Surely they knew there would be many non-pack wolves on his land when there was some event going on. He decided to run up to the pack house and let Reymond- the head of council- know he’d planned to go for a run. That way Nick couldn’t say shit about it. In fact, Nick could take his permission and shove it up his ass. Reymond was absolutely fine with this plan. He told Lorenzo to let any other non-pack members he saw that they could shift and run around the territory at night as well. Lo loved the fact that the council were going over Nick’s head. But that was the law after all. When Lorenzo got back to his cottage something was off. Someone had been there. He sniffed the air, recognizing the owner at the same tim

    Lorenzo He and Janine were still laying on the ground. He didn’t know how long they’d been there but after they’d finished round one.. they went for round two and then three. They were laying there, not talking just enjoying the sounds of the stream trickling when they heard in the distance a sudden ‘POP!’ Lo jumped up looking around. “What was that?” Janine whispered. “Is someone else out here?” It was very possible another wolf or one of Nick’s guards were out… but they were well into the middle of the forest, the guards should be on the perimeter. And it was the middle of the night… it was doubtful another wolf was out so late. “Shhh!” Lo shushed her, listening closely. But he didn’t hear anything else. He turned to Janine. “Maybe we should head back.” He said. So they shifted back into their wolves and started their way back through the forest. After a moment of walking they heard the ‘POP!’ sound again. Something was out there with them… and it was big. The popping s

    Emily THE PAST Emily felt foolish. She’s actually thought the worst was over. The pain she’d been dealing with all day was the most awful thing she’d ever felt. But Elenora had explained to her that was just her insides changing and shifting slightly, getting ready for the rest of her to make the switch. Apparently all wolves had a break period in between the two— thank goddess….. who must’ve known they’d need a moment to rest. Once that was all explained, her father told her it was important that she eat plenty of food to get her strength up. So they went to the kitchen to have some of her birthday cake. She was sore all over. Her body aching in ways she never knew was possible. She was moving slowly.. and sat down in the chair at the table very gingerly. They all sang happy birthday to her. Her father, Maeve and Elenora… and her brothers, who had returned home. They were only missing Lo. After cake her dad, who was a wonderful cook among everything else… fixed up a meal

    Lorenzo They were coming in the pack house for a break from the rigorous training they’d been doing for a few weeks now. Lorenzo was happy to help train. But at the same time he had other pack duties and responsibilities he needed to be working on. Not to mention his mind was miles and miles away with Emily still. After he’d heard about Charlotte, he wanted to go to her immediately. But because he had been back and forth so much he decided to wait and go for the funeral instead. He had people coming into his territory those days anyway. And he didn’t want to leave Jarvis by himself to deal with all that. He had agreed to house several of the guards from his region that were training for the group that was going to the east. Part of the council had already been to most of the packs in the north, and they needed somewhere to put everybody. So he took in some of them. But that meant housing and food for all these people as well. It was a big undertaking.. and he couldn’t leave and

    Emily ……………….……………….It had been two weeks since that day in the hospital when Charlotte took her last breath holding Emily’s hand. Emily had sat there and cried until Dr. Pavarti came in and unhooked Charlotte from all the machines. Something hit Emily in that moment. And she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She screamed. A painful, heart wrenching sound came from her. She screamed some more. Then she screamed again. She got up and ran out of the hospital into the cold night air. And she screamed some more.People were coming outside that had heard her, she’d woken them up in the middle of the night but she didn’t care. Her brothers and Maeve had come to the hospital too. They must’ve been in the waiting room but she didn’t even see them. They stood behind her not saying anything. Alan was a mess… he really liked Charlotte and Emily had hoped they’d end up mates one day. Alice came outside then, tears running down her face as well. But she was holding it together. Emily d

    Emily She walked back into Charlotte’s room slowly… not wanting to face what the doctor has told her. Pam walked by her on her way out and laid her hand on her arm. “Just in case it’s what we think it is, tell her goodbye Emily. Most people don’t get that chance. But you do. Tell her everything you want.” Pam whispered as she left the room. She repeated basically exactly what the doctor had told her mere seconds ago. She wondered if they’d practiced that. A way to soften the blow when telling people their lives would forever be changed, and not in a good way. Emily was practicality full on sobbing at this point as Alice turned to her and softly smiled. “A-Alice” Emily stuttered between her sobs. “I just can’t accept what they’re say-saying. It can’t be true.” Alice hugged her tightly and then said:“It happened with my mother when she passed. It seems like the same thing to me.”Emily cried harder. “We would need a miracle Emily and I don’t think it’s coming. I’ve said my

    Emily The look on Maeve and Brian’s faces were enough to know it was bad. She didn’t wait on any explanations, or to ask any questions. She just took off running. She ran and ran and ran all the way back into the middle of the territory. Up and down the streets, cutting through woods and peoples yards to get there as fast as she could. She finally saw the hospital up ahead. She slammed through the front door and ran through the waiting room. She kept going. Get to Charlotte. That’s all that mattered. Finally when she got to her room she skidded to a stop. She opened the door and went inside. Dr. Pavarti, Pam, and Alice stood around her bed. Emily closed her eyes, listening. Breaths. Faint but there. She was still alive. “What happened??” Charlotte demanded. At her voice Charlotte’s eyes opened just barely. She had woken up???“Oh goddess!” Emily cried as she ran to the bed. “Charlotte!” She cried and cried and thanked goddess her friend was waking up. “Emily….” Dr. Pavar

    Lorenzo He had been pacing the better part of an hour. After he got a call from Brian, and found out about Emily’s hair-brained scheme… he immediately called her. She had the audacity to act like it wasn’t a big deal and then the little fucker hung up on him. He was so mad he through the lamp sitting on the table across the room. He’d forgotten all about Collins, she sat there wide eyed… as he threw his tantrum. He sighed, rubbed his hand through his hair making it stand every which way then down his face. “Fuck. I am so sorry Collins. You… you didn’t need to see that.” He said. “It’s okay….” She said shaking her head. But it wasn’t. He was her Alpha and she didn’t need to see him losing his shit. Even though he was most definitely losing all of his shit right now. “No. No it’s not okay. I haven’t been a very good Alpha recently. I’ve had a lot going on…..” he began. “Honestly. It’s perfectly fine. You’re frustrated. I get it. You have emotions, that’s normal. It’s good th

    Emily A while later she and Alan were on their way back to the pack, laughing their asses off at how everything went down. It wasn’t what she had expected, that was for sure. But she couldn’t kill a man who had just been protecting his daughter. He was a human, approached by two werewolves that he had no idea even existed… that threatened his little girl. She could understand. Although he could’ve shot the other wolves with the silver bullets the rogues gave him… She did feel better … that was for certain. Now they just had to catch the two rogue wolves. Ellis was already on it… finding their location. She would have to wait a couple days before she could try to get them to let her take care of those two. “Poor mustache.” She said. “Who??” Alan asked. “The guy— mustache. We don’t know his real name.” She answered. “I think his name is pissed his pants”. Alan answered. They both started laughing. Because he did, indeed, piss his pants when she shifted and went up to him. S

    Emily. “Stay back!” The man yelled. The other guy was keeping his eye on Alan who was staring at him so hard Emily half expected lasers to come out of his eyes. “You. Shot. My. Best. Friend.” She ground out. “And me., which I don’t even care about. But when you shot her? You made a big…..huge …. mistake.”“Listen… I didn’t..” the guy tried. But Emily growled again. Both guys watching her now looked like they were about to cry. They might know werewolves existed, but she didn’t think they’d ever seen one shift before. They were too scared. “Wait… please…..” he said. “Who hired you?” She asked him. “I … I don’t know! I never got a name!”“What did they give you? For murdering someone? What did they pay you for that?!” She spat out, her eyes started glowing … her anger getting the best of her. “Please … don’t hurt us. They threatened my daughter!!” The man said. Emily stopped. What did he just say? “What??” She asked him. “Two guys. They’d been coming into the bar where m

    Emily “Alan. Did you catch that scent?” She asked him carefully. He looked at her, knowing exactly what she was saying. “Yes.” He said. “Same ones, right?” She asked. He nodded. In that moment her phone started ringing and the two wolves jerked their heads up. She and Alan crashed down in the seat out of sight while she quickly quieted her phone. She looked to see who was calling. It was Lorenzo. Why would he be calling her… unless….“Shit.” She said. “Brian blabbed to Lo”. She told Alan. “Well may as well call it off now he’ll be here in five minutes.”Of course he couldn’t actually get here that fast. But he would try. She needed to talk to him and calm him down. So as she and Alan were scrunched down in the car hiding she called him back. They rolled up the windows just in case it rang again. They couldn’t hear them talking… but a shrieking phone ring? They could easily hear that. He answered on the first ring. “Lo?” She said quietly. “Please tell me your brother has

    Emily She and Alan had made it into the human town. Being there was making her feel sick, and making her think about the trip here with Charlotte. They’d passed the tattoo shop where they’d gotten matching tattoos… and the place where they got their hair cuts. She was getting angrier and angrier the more she remembered everything. Now they were in the next town. The one where the guys had first shown up. She knew the addresses that Ellis had given her, where the men had been seen… at least allegedly. But just as a precaution she wanted to go to the loading docks where she and Charlotte had gone. Alan argued they were probably only there to follow them, and she knew as much. But she wasn’t leaving a stone unturned. But they weren’t there. She even stopped and asked a few people if they’d seen the truck the guy drove. So they headed to the first address, which was a house. But when they got there no one was home. The next place was a bar type restaurant where Emily had planned to
