My teeth chattered together as the cold Autumn breeze swept over my bare arms as I reached out my hand forming a fist and quickly knocking on the small blue door, snatching my hand back as if someone was going to pull it off. After what felt like a full hour of agonising anticipation but what really was a few moments the door was pulled open to reveal a dishevelled looking Preston."Emily? What's wrong, is everything okay? God you're freezing" Preston's voice rushed out as he stepped outside his door, his long slender arms reaching out and taking me by the shoulders his eyes wandering up and down my body wildly as if he was physically accessing me to pinpoint anything that could be possibly wrong. Once his eyes finished scanning me they quickly wandered behind me as if he was looking for Four."Yeah, everything's fine-" I began as Preston let out a breath of relief at my reassuring words, however he only held onto that relief for a moment as he held a firm grip onto my arm and began p
"You scared me" I barley managed to get out in a sentence as he had now released his grip on me and was now fumbling around on the ground in search of the key he had made me drop."Shit, I didn't mean to sneak up on you" His voice sounded different, deeper or something as he now straightened up to his full height. I couldn't make out his facial expressions in the dark night but I could just imagine his small smirk playing on his lips.I shook my head taking in a deep breath, of almost relief. Part of me was happy to see him, know that after what happened he was still okay. However, my relief was soon washed away by panic, no doubt in less than ten minutes Four would be here."Are you stupid? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" My voice now sounded like thunder in the silent air as I attempted to lean forward and push his shoulders."I-" He began, as he caught my hands that were trying to hit him using it to pull me towards him."Four is going to be here soon, please Dylan leave. D
I raised my hand to knock on the familiar door now, a sense of dread and fear fuelled by my guilt had eaten me away on my way here and now I just wanted it to swallow me whole. Not only had I blank out lied to Preston but I knew what Four would do and what he is capable of, look what he did to Dylan, and I still used him to get what I wanted.My thoughts were interrupted however when before my hand could knock on the door it swung open, revealing Preston's large stance as if he was already anticipating me knocking. My eyes travelled up to his face as if to access his physical state, I took a deep breath of relief when I saw all was clear, he was okay."Hey" I mumbled after a few minutes of awkward after not one of us made a move.He gave me a small smile in return which quickly dropped after a few seconds as he stepped out of the door revealing a bag slung over his shoulder before turning his back to me and shutting it."Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked as he had now turned an
I felt my anger boil at the sight of seeing Four on my way home from school, it was only break time but I stormed out after I tried to calm down for a few minutes but my anger grew until I had to get out of there, I felt trapped. I had been rehearsing what I was going to scream at Four when I seen him from not mentioning the fact that my wedding day was supposedly in three weeks. But now that I seen him as he unloaded boxes from a large van onto the ground outside a shop all I wanted to do was run over and punch him, I knew it would hurt it I did it though I would only end up hurting myself.As I became closer to him I seen him look up through the crowd off people that were already gathered here, I don't know how he saw me or maybe he could hear my heavy breathing but his eyebrows crinkled together probably wondering why I was out of school already and maybe I looked angry from the outside."What's wrong did something happen?" He asked as he stopped what he was doing and started walki
FOURS P.O.VShe's a girl, a human, still in school and you expect her to marry me in three weeks when she only just found out about the werewolf's? I'm Alpha of this pack and if I want more time I will get it" I felt my voice rising as my chest pushed up and down as I tried my best to restrain myself from jumping over the table."Alpha, it was your choice not to tell the girl about the wolves and you were aware of the marriage traditions in this pack for months. The time is up and we have gave you extensions, this decision is ours" One of the elders spoke only adding to my rising anger as I began to rise of my seat my hands shaking from the rage.I felt Finn, my beta, hand place on my shoulder as he attempted to rein me in from my rage reminding me that physically if I was too hurt one of them it wouldn't be good. Yes I was Alpha but they were the council, I had no control over the traditions.I looked at them before I shook my head leaving the room, Finn following behind as he tried
EMILY'S P.O.VI thought those words were exactly what I wanted to hear for the last few weeks but now that I was actually hearing them they never brought the happiness and relief I thought I would feel, well that's a lie for a second I felt relieved that what I thought was going to be the end of my freedom wasn't going to happen but after that left I was left with a shitty feeling in my stomach. I didn't know what it was at that time and for a while after until I managed to asked Terri about it when it wouldn't go away and was only growing stronger and she told me it was the mate bond so it wasn't my fault and I decided it wasn't how I actually felt. But in that moment I didn't want to actually tell Four, I actually wasn't going to tell Four because I knew he had worked so hard to make me happy and I honestly was grateful that I wasn't going to have to do it.At the time we didn't really talk about it, I could tell Four didn't want to do I just thanked him but now it was like only a f
EMILY'S P.O.VI stared at Four from my position on the bed, my vision still adjusting to the bright light streaming in through the window as Four rushed to silence the loud ringing that just erupted from his phone while he was in the shower I'm guessing by his wet hair and towel covered body and while I was still sleeping.I watch as he lifts the phone to his ear silencing it as his gaze lands on me as if to check if it woke me up sending me a small smile when he released I was awake, however it was soon replaced by his eyes brows furrowing to create worry lines in the middle of his head as he brought his hand up to his wet hair running his hand through it at whatever the person was saying to him on the phone.A few minutes later when I emerged from the bathroom Four was no longer on the phone but the tense look hadn't dropped from his face as he shook his wet with the towel that was once around his waist now replaced by a pair of shorts."Luna Theresa is here with her pack" His voice
I shook my head as he rolled his eyes shaking his head at me a small smile on his face "I swear your going to get me banished" he joked. I could tell from his face he was feeling sorry for me today, any other time and he would actually be angry at me for not telling Four where I was but he didn't say anything."There's Rice Krispies in the cupboard if you want, have some with milk you pour into the bowl." He shouted from the front door adding the last part which only made me laugh and if he was beside me I'd hit him.After a half an hour of sitting in Prestons house waiting for this quick meeting to be over, I had really considered leaving to go to the meeting myself, I mean I live here as well. But after I made Prestons bed and made my self cereal I had honestly exhausted myself. More mentally exhausted than physically but exhausted none the less. I don't know if I could mentally prepare to actually meet her today.I was just about to open the front door when a loud ringing from Pres
