Emily's POV Fayne collected the candles from Beth and I cleared my throat.“Fayne, have you had your medications yet?”“Yes, actually. Now that I'm done making the wedding dress, I should start cooking for all of us.”Without saying anything else, Fayne started to head to the kitchen.“Wait, no, Fayne—”“—Don’t stop him,” Beth interupted me while holding me back.“Any not?” I asked.“Because this is the happiest he's even been.”“And how would you know that?” I said.“I checked his pulse this morning before I headed out. He's a lot better than today than I expected.” “And?” i said without emotion.“Have you heard of the term, the surge?”“What? No.” I said.“It's the body's attempt to give the body a final energy boost before passing away.”“Oh,” I calmed down, feeling a bit guilty. “I didn't know.” I added.“I don't know your reasons for deciding to get married to him but you better give him a good time while he's alive.” Beth said, leaving me stunned.“Your hair still looks fresh,
Emily's POV “Come on, it's time to eat.” Beth told us and only then did Fayne let go of me. I wondered how Fayne was that strong when his hand was hurt.I ran my fingers through my hair and we went inside and ate some food.When we were done eating, we said our good nights to Beth and went to the room Fayne and I were allowed to sleep in.Fayne sat on his bed and sighed. “I can't believe that we're married,” he told me.I swallowed nervously because I knew that this would be the last day I would see Fayne because he would die tomorrow.“Well, we are. So…” I trailed off and Fayne cleared his throat.“Thank you for accepting me, Beth. I promise that I'm going to make it up to you. I promise.”“That's okay,” I said, clearing my throat.There was silence that permeated through us that led to me feeling nervous. But I decided to take the led and quench my desire.I stood up from the bed I was sitting on and lifted Fayne's chin so he was staring up at me.“So, do we mate already?”Fayne's
Emily's POV I gasped and pulled away from the kiss, causing Fayne to smile and bring me closer to him.“You haven't had enough yet?” He said teasingly.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…”I was interrupted by Fayne pressing his lips against mine, hard and rough. When he pulled away, I gasped surprised by how hot that felt.“Fayne,” I gasped.“You're my wife now. You're entitled to my body just as much as I'm entitled to yours. If I didn't please you enough then all you have to do is tell me, don't ever be shy to tell me.”“That's not it, Fayne.” I tried to reason with him but he took off my clothes and tossed it aside.I was now fully naked before his eyes and there was nowhere to turn.Fayne traced his tongue over my chest and I gasped.“Fayne…”“I'll give it to you as much as you want, I swear.” Fayne ran his fingers over my breasts and I leaned forward, feeling overpowered by his grip. How could he even do that when one of his hands was in jeopardy?Fayne kissed my breasts and I moane
Emily's POV The next day, when I woke up Fayne was no longer by my side. I remembered the fun he and I had the previous night and smiled to myself. I sat up on the bed and began to wear my clothes. When I was fully clothed, I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. When I was done, I went outside only to see Beth and Fayne talking.The moment they saw me, Fayne smiled while Beth simply nodded at me.“Did you have good night?” Fayne asked me.My cheeks turned pink as Fayne asked that question.“Great, thanks.” I said without a hint of shame.“Beth, good morning.” I told her and she flashed me a smile.“Morning, Emily.”“Can I talk to you for a sec?” I said, walking over to her and grabbing her hand.“Sure,” She told me.We walked away from the hut and I asked her, “Why isn't Fayne dead yet?”“I have no idea. There's a fluctuation in his health… Anyway, I think there's not much that I can do. His medical case is beyond me. But I still don't think he will live for a long time.” She
Emily's POV “You know you can always use the Beta to get what you want.”“I know,” I said, “But if Jacob suspects his Beta in the slightest, wouldn't he have his head? It's best for me to finish him off by myself rather than get someone else in trouble. And besides, if I kill Jacob myself, only me would share the glory in that. It will also make me feel a sense of justice considering what he did to me in the past, as well as the former Luna, Lyla.”“Thank you for remembering her even though she betrayed you.”“It's all in the past now,” I said. “Right now, all we need to worry about is moving forward.”“Right. By the way, Luna, where's Fayne? Didn't he come here with you?” Melissa asked.I sighed. “Well, Fayne is dead.”Her eyes widened. “Why what happened?”“It's a long story,” I responded.“Please tell me about it,” She said.I nodded at her.“Could you please get me something to eat, first? I'm really tired.”“Oh, my bad, I forgot that you just came back and would like some rest.”
Fayne's POV When I woke up, I felt something weird in my insides. I looked at the bed that I was on and sat up on the bed.“Where is Emily?” I wondered out loud.A small smile appeared on my face as I remembered how we'd make love previously. It was something that I could never get out of my head no matter what.I was about to leave the room when I noticed something on the side of the bed. I walked over to it and saw that it was a bowl that consisted of tools to disember something… or someone.It finally clicked. Beth gave me a bowl to drink previously and after drinking, I became like this. I touched my stomach, wondering exactly what she put in it.I rushed to the living room only to see Beth sitting on a stool, relaxing.“Beth,” I said.The moment she turned to me, I saw shock, surprise and fear in her eyes, all at once.“Fayne, h-how are you still alive?” She started to stumble back as I walked forward towards her.“What do you mean, how am I still alive? Did you poison me?”Bet
Fayne's POV “I don't know the full truth, Fayne. But I do think Emily cared for you, just not in the way that you might have expected.” Beth told me.“I saved her once in the past. I don't know if that's why she agreed to marry me.” I said, running my fingers through my hair in exasperation.Beth helped me stand up, then she said, “It'll be best if you stay here and I help you heal. I am also willing to pass onto you, all of my knowledge on herbs as long as you become my disciple.”My eyes widened. It was a good offer but I didn't care about it. All I wanted to know was the truth. Did Emily truly love me? Or did she only marry me to trick me? Or was it because she thought I would die?This answer was only one I would get if I asked her in person.Goosebumps covered my skin as I remembered how our bodies had mesh onto each other’s so effortlessly. All of that, was it all a lie keeping me stuck?“Fayne,” Beth shook me awake, causing me to come back into face with reality.“What?” I sa
Fayne's POV “Fine,” Beth responded with a smile on her face. “From now on, you are my disciple.”“Yes ma'am,” I bowed my head in respect and she walked over and patted me on the head.“Go on and have some rest, I'll go reboil the water and prepare to heal you.” Beth said and walked out of the room.I sighed and sat up on the bed, breathing deeply.The only person on my mind right now was Emily but I had to focus to be able to go back to her.***When Beth came back she had a deep look on her face. She was carrying a bowl of hot water that smelt different. “What did you put in the water?” I asked her, “It smells weird.”“Oh, you'll know all about that but in the meanwhile, strip.” She told me.I did as she said and she began to put needles in my body. I winced but I took on the pain without a single word of complaint.Then she pressed the hot water into my skin and I let out a loud cry. I felt like I had just been hit by something pepperish.“Take the pain like a man, Fayne. The amou
Emily's POV That night, I went to the Beta's office and saw multiple files and documents. I looked through it and saw a painting of Jacob's Beta and the late Luna.I grabbed it and decided to keep it. I could use it against Jacob's Beta later in the future. As I was about to walk to the door, I realized that it was not a good method to take advantage in this way. Jacob's Beta could become super wary of me and I didn't want this to happen. He was more useful as an ally than as an enemy.I sighed and put the painting back. At least, I confirmed that Jacob's beta and the late Luna indeed were lovers or at least, Jacob's Beta loved her so much even though the feelings were not requited.I guess in this packhouse there was no such thing as real love, only false appearances and betrayal.I left the Beta's office and went to my room. Melissa was standing by the entrance. The moment she saw me, she bowed.“Luna,”“What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your room or something?”“Sorry
Emily's POV “Link, I'll put you in charge of transporting the Embalming fluids and formaldehyde.”“Yes, Luna.” He went to his knees and I nodded.“Wait here.”I went to the treasury and brought out 50,500 worth of gold. I went back to the office where Link was sitting and gave him the boxes. “Transport these to Donovan's pack. Make sure the Alpha receives it.” Then I tossed the bag containing 500 gold to Link and he caught it in his hand.“That's five hundred worth of gold. Make sure you take care of the transportation and ensure nothing out of the ordinary happens.” I said and Link nodded calmly.“Yes, Luna.”“You're dismissed.”Link started to leave with the boxes and all of a sudden, he halted in his steps and whispered.“If only you were the Alpha, you'd have my loyalty.”I pretended to not hear and watch Link walk out the door.I inhaled deeply. Looking around the office that I was in. It felt so right like it was perfectly made for me.Next, I heard a knock on my office and wh
Emily's POV “I don't believe we've met,” I told her and she nodded, “No, Luna, this is the first time.”“I called you here for an important discussion.” I said.“I submitted the report to the Alpha's desk about the shortage of medical supplies for the deceased in Galahad pack clinic.”“Exactly. Let's talk about it.”Melissa brought forth a chair and the woman sat in front of me.“I want a cut in the budget. We'll use a new technique to preserve the deceased.”“But how, Luna?”“We'll use natural ingredients to form formaldehyde. I think it'll be best in the preservation of the corpse.”“The ingredients remain the same, Luna. We cannot cut costs. The final moments of a corpse is important for the nearest generation.”“I understand.” I said. “But we do have to cut costs.” I said firmly. “I remember that Donovan pack has Formaldehyde as well as some embalming fluids for corpse. I'll contact them for some.”Even though my brother Matteo was no longer on my side, my father was going to coo
Emily's POV Melissa walked into my room with a tray of food.“Melissa,” I said cautiously.She placed the food on the table and smiled at me.“The Alpha's Beta would like to talk to you.” She said and I nodded.“About what? We've never gotten that close to have a good conversation.”Even though I spoke casually, I was secretly curious as to what he wanted to talk to me about.“I don't know but he's waiting down the hallway for you.”“Hmm,” I said thoughtfully. I got up from my bed and Melissa said, “Won't you like to eat first before going?”“I don't want to keep him standing there for long.” I said.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. I looked very well.Melissa opened the door for me and I stepped out of the room.I walked down the hallway only to see Jacob's Beta standing with his hand at his back. He looked dignified and refined in his body posture but not as dignified and refined as Fayne. I wondered to myself. Why was I thinking about Fayne now? He was dead. I
Fayne's POV “Sure, I read about it.” I said and she gasped while staring at me regretfully.“The human using demonic abilities would be bound to die a painful death if the power is unleashed at a maximum percentage.” I said and she nodded.“Exactly. Any human using demonic abilities is bound to die painfully. Why would you want that for yourself? Fayne, right now, you're a healthy human. You can find somebody else to love you. You can also earn a living for yourself by learning medicine and herbs. Why would you want to live a life of absolute torture?”“From what I read, a human using demonic abilities doesn't mean he or she gets to live a life of absolute torture.”“It is torture. Using too much abilities that is not naturally inclined to humanhood is torture.” She said.“I don't look at it that way, ma'am. You have no idea, I am willing to do anything as long as I have my wife back at my side.”Beth sighed. “Are you sure that you love her?”“What do you mean?” I said, feeling offen
Fayne's POV “Fine,” Beth responded with a smile on her face. “From now on, you are my disciple.”“Yes ma'am,” I bowed my head in respect and she walked over and patted me on the head.“Go on and have some rest, I'll go reboil the water and prepare to heal you.” Beth said and walked out of the room.I sighed and sat up on the bed, breathing deeply.The only person on my mind right now was Emily but I had to focus to be able to go back to her.***When Beth came back she had a deep look on her face.
