Emily

THE PAST

She and Nick had been married and mated for only a couple of months. To say the transition had been difficult was an understatement. She missed home. She missed her dad and her brothers, she missed Maeve and June… but mostly, she missed Lo.

She constantly wondered what he was doing. If he had found and mated someone.. she didn’t think he had, just because she would somehow or feel it if that ever happened. And it would break her.

She knew all this even though she had found her own mate. And Nick had been nothing but good to her. The only thing was, Nick constantly was working. Emily wasn’t naive about alpha duties. She’d grown up with one.

Still. Her dad had always taken time away from the pack and made time for her mother and his children. Even though she and Nick obviously didn’t have children, she wished that she was a little higher on his list of things he cared for.

Emily found out very quickly that nothing came before the pack in Nick’s eyes. She didn’t know

    Emily The Present The pills she had gotten from Dr. Pavarti had done wonders. Either that or miracles actually happen because she had been sleeping like a baby. But tonight, nothing would help. No amount of the pills… not the hot bath she took.. not reading. She almost went on a run but she was afraid she would bump into Lorenzo. The fight he and Nick had gotten into was one of the scariest things she had ever seen. And she had seen tons of wolf fights but this was different. It was the two men she loved. The two men she was torn between. Her mate, and the man who should’ve been her mate. Not only that, but the fight had been violent and brutal. The power and anger coming off both of them was something like she had never seen before…….not in any of her training.. not even with her fight with Susan. Maybe it had been as bad. But she was in it, not off to the side watching. She had considered going to Lo, he could’ve been hurt although, she seriously doubted it. It was more lik

    EmilyOnce Emily was up and dressed and had eaten breakfast she left to go to Charlotte’s. In no time at all they were on their way to the human towns close to their pack. By close she meant a two hour drive, so they were leaving pretty early. They had to go to a couple different towns to get everything they needed. Plus they wanted to have time to explore. The girls were giddy with excitement. They both needed this outing. Plus it had been ages since the two of them got to do anything on their own. Before she could relax and have fun though, Emily had to fill Charlotte in on everything. She told her about her visit home and seeing everyone, and what Lo had told them about the trip east and the rogue pack there. Then she told her about what happened last night…. between Nick and Lorenzo. “And you haven’t heard from either of them since?” Charlotte asked her. “Nope. I tried to go after both of them but my brothers pretty much threatened to tie me to a chair.” Emily said. “Plus Lo

    Emily They finally made it into the first town they were visiting. The second town they would be going to that day was bigger and busier than this somewhat quaint one. But Charlotte’s family had long bought from the little stores they had here and resold the items. They could get a few things in bulk, and this is where they would find the more original and personable items. For example, one of the little stores there sold tons of homemade goods like jellies and jams and other canned and jarred foods. They had homemade items like signs and decorations made from metals, they had homegrown vegetables and fruits. Even though they grew nearly all their food on the pack lands- every pack had a couple of farmers that got large chucks of land to plant on- they still liked to get the occasional things they didn’t grow. Like squash for instance. Wolves didn’t grow squash. But they all loved to eat it. They also didn’t grow okra, or strawberries or cantaloupe. So Charlotte would always get

    Emily The next stop they went to was a large wholesale building. They drove around the back and pulled in a parking spot. Charlotte called a phone number and told someone they were there. “Okay they’ll bring it out in a second.” Charlotte said. Emily smiled and nodded and then she looked around. There were a few of those big trucks there. The humans called them ‘eighteen wheelers’ or something like that. They didn’t have those sorts of things obviously. Then a couple cars and a few trucks and vans. She felt pretty relaxed in the moment. Emily really wanted to tell Charlotte about her plan she had came up with and some of the theories she had on certain things. But right when she started to tell her another truck pulled up right beside them. The windows were down and two men were inside. Emily frowned. Didn’t she just see that truck parked at the other end of the parking lot? It was a sleek black double cab truck. Surely it was brand new the way it shined. And why did they par

    EmilyA while later they were headed back to the pack. They didn’t see any more of the black truck and their run in with the guys was almost forgotten. They’d gone back through the first town and we’re headed up the mountain roads toward their land. They were getting fairly close now as they turned down the last road. It was the only road that led into and out of their territory. The sun was getting low and Emily was finally getting relaxed. They’d had the best day and she was excited about eating some more of the pizza they’d brought home. That is if Alan didn’t cram it all down first. She couldn’t wait to show her brothers her hair and new tattoo. She had also bought little souvenirs for her brothers and Maeve. And she was excited to give the kids their books and gifts. All in all the past week had been one of the best ones she had in years. She got to see her family and then she got to go to the towns. She was telling Charlotte she bet Brian and Alan would be excited becau

    Emily THE PASTEmily sat at the doorway not moving as she stared at Susan and some man - who was not Caron that she had just married a few minutes ago. She must’ve been in shock as she couldn’t seem to move. Finally her senses came back and she lowered her eyes. “Sor- Sorry.” She said and quickly shut the door. She stood there a moment trying to recover from what she had just seen. She finally was able to move and started back toward the stairs when the door flew open. “Emily! Wait!” A panicked voice she had never heard from Susan was yelling at her. Emily turned but didn’t look at Susan she kept her focus on the ground. “You cannot tell anyone!” Susan told her.. Emily popped her head up looking at her in the face then and frowned. “Emily.. you can’t tell anyone. Do you understand?? Caron will divorce me… we haven’t even mated yet.”“He will smell another wolf on you.” Emily said matter of factly. “Not by the time we’re together. These weddings go on all night long - y

    EmilyEmily couldn’t hear. She couldn’t see. Her vision blurry and the ringing in her ears was getting louder and louder and louder. She could faintly make bright lights that were shining on her but then that disappeared. What happened? Where was she? A searing pain was in her shoulder. Ah fuck that hurt. What the hell was going on… she couldn’t remember. Why were her ears ringing so bad?? Then it all started to come back. They road home, the truck.. the guy.. the gun. Oh goddess. The gun. He had shot at them! Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. He shot Charlotte. Darkness was pulling her under. But she had to help Charlotte. She tried but she couldn’t stay awake. The dark took over. ~~~~~~~~~~~Emily woke with a start. She was in Charlottes truck, the radio was playing. She looked over at her best friend who was slumped in the seat beside her. She jumped suddenly trying to raise up but dizziness and a pounding in her head slammed into her. She tried again, going slowe

    Lorenzo He had been back in his pack for just a few hours and already being away from Emily was grinding on his nerves. He knew it would take him a minute to get used to not being so close to her. But something about this day was making him on edge. Quite possibly the fact that he’d been up for two days straight with no sleep. He’d left Nick’s pack last night right after their run in. If he stayed there he was going to do something drastic. Then they’d be having a trial with him for murder. Had Emily not stepped in between them last night.. he would’ve ripped Nick’s head clean off his body. Nick didn’t stand a chance up against Lorenzo. The only thing he had going for him in that moment was his anger. Truthfully, he couldn’t really fault Nick. Emily IS his mate. And Lo WAS hugging her, which isn’t that big of a deal but they had a past and everyone knew how they felt about each other. If it had been the other way around he would’ve reacted the exact same. So, he got out of ther

    Emily THE PRESENT The entire room was complete silent. No one spoke, no one moved. Once Emily finished her story she stood.. waiting. But still no one said a word. It felt like everyone was holding their breath. Emily let out a huge sigh as tears came to her eyes. She felt the biggest weight off her chest as she turned to look at her brothers. who were both in tears as well. They finally knew. Everyone. Finally. Knew. She noticed more people in the crowd had tears in their eyes as well. She looked over at Nick.. who kept his head bowed. He wouldn’t even glance at her. Ellis caught her eye.. he gave her a small encouraging nod and smile. Finally after what seemed like forever, Reymond stood up and said: “thank you, Emily. You may sit down. Reymond asked if anyone else had anything to say or add. Nobody did. And then he said the trial would adjourn for the next three days. Even though he didn’t say it, Emily assumed that meant they’d have a decision by then. An outcome, for what

    Emily THE PAST Emily was so shocked by Susan’s confession she couldn’t even believe what she was hearing. Emily couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t speak. “Granted I was trying to kill you… if that makes you feel better.” Susan kept talking. Emily was lost in a cloud of darkness. Confusion and shock was all she could feel. She still hadn’t said a word. Susan started laughing. LAUGHING.That did it. That brought Emily out of whatever darkness she was in. “You’ll go to the dungeons for this.” Emily told her. Susan laughed even harder. “Wanna bet?? My brother would never allow it. My MOTHER would never allow it.” Susan boasted. “Nick will put you there himself when he finds out what you did.” Emily spat at her. Susan stopped laughing. She looked at Emily dead in the eye. “Oh sweet sweet naive little Emily. Nick already knows. He knew right after it happened. He’s known for ten fucking years!!” Susan yelled. Emily was shaking her head. No. No he couldn’t ha

    Emily THE PAST Emily slowly opened her eyes. It was still dark out, but something had woken her. She looked at the clock and saw it was the middle of the night. She turned over.. Nick still hadn’t come to bed. That was normal though. He stayed up all hours of the night working in his office. She turned over to go back to sleep, but seconds later a sound had her eyes popping open again. It was her phone. Someone was calling her. But who would be calling so late? Oh goddess. She hoped nothing was wrong with her dad. She picked it up and answered without looking at the number. But when the person on the other end spoke, her mouth dropped open in shock. If you would’ve asked her who would be calling… anytime… much less the middle of the night, Susan would have been at the very bottom of that list. But here she was. “Emily??” Susan said panicked. “Susan?” Emily answered. “Yes. It’s me. I’m so sorry to wake you. But I need your help.” Susan said, fear in her voice. “What’s

    Emily She was going back to her trial that day. Whether she was ready to or not. But she was thankful for the past few days with the kids. They were some she would never forget. Lo had called her last night. He said he’d been thinking about her, and she was glad to hear his voice. Once they’d talked a bit — he told her about the guards training and how full the pack was with all the visitors.. she said she would love to see it one day. She said it without thinking of the implication behind it. But she had only been to Lo’s pack once years ago. It sat it in the northernmost region. Surrounded by majestic mountains and beautiful turquoise lakes, and the tallest pine and sequoia trees, it was an actual heaven on earth. “I would love that.” He told her. After a moment of silence he asked a question that surprised her. “Mo… do you think Nick has a second mate?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That question had been on her mind all night, and was still hanging around this morning. This whole secon

    Lorenzo They had finished eating and were cleaning up when Collins walked into the pack house. Lo watched her walk all the way to the kitchen and speak to her mother, then turn and look around until she found his eyes. A small smile landed on her face. Lorenzo cleared his throat and immediately looked away. When he raised his head up again Jarvis was smirking at him. “Shut the fuck up.” Lorenzo said as he walked back towards his office. Jarvis followed him though, clearly not finished throwing jibes at him. “What would her daddy say?” Jarvis joked. Lo sighed. He told his beta to come in his office and close the door. He needed to tell him everything, so he would stop with the poking. He’d probably see alot of looks going on between them and he didn’t feel like listening to Jarvis’s unwelcome narration every damn day. Once he’d told him everything his beta stared at him with a confused look. “So… Nick is Emily’s first mate… and you’re her second mate?” Jarvis said. “We thi

    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
