Emma had never been one to seek out attention, but avoiding the twins took more effort than she expected.It wasn’t just their presence that unnerved her—it was the vision. The gruesome image of Jayden and Kale lying lifeless, her own hands painted with their blood, haunted her. She could still hear the silence of it, the emptiness in their eyes.So she did the only thing she could. She put distance between them.She trained harder, pushing her body past its limits, forcing herself to stay busy so she wouldn’t have time to think about the vision. She avoided the twins as much as possible, keeping their conversations short and impersonal.At first, Jayden and Kale assumed she was still holding a grudge over how they had treated her before. That was nothing new. But as the days passed, her avoidance became more than just anger—it felt deliberate.She didn’t look at them. Didn’t speak unless she had to.And worst of all, she seemed to be spending more time with Tyler.Keeping Her Distanc
Emma’s silence had once been tolerable. Now, it was suffocating.The twins had always been patient in their own way—Kale, with his calm and calculating nature, and Jayden, with his smirks and simmering intensity. But patience had limits.And Emma was testing theirs.Jayden paced the length of his room, his fists clenching and unclenching.“She’s still ignoring us.” His voice was tight, controlled—but barely.Kale sat on the edge of his bed, arms crossed. “I noticed.”Jayden stopped and turned to him. “That’s it? You ‘noticed’?” His eyes burned with frustration. “She barely looks at us. She barely talks to us. But Tyler? She’s with him all the damn time.”Kale exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face. “I don’t like it either, but pushing her will only make it worse.”Jayden scoffed. “And doing nothing is better?”Kale didn’t respond immediately. His silence stretched, heavy between them.“We have to do something,” Jayden muttered. His voice was lower this time, but no less intense.Kale m
Emma’s mornings had become painfully routine—wake up before sunrise, push through the exhaustion, and prepare for another grueling day of training.But today felt different.She had barely slept.The vision of Jayden and Kale’s lifeless bodies still lingered in her mind, no matter how much she tried to push it away. She could still see the blood on her hands, feel the horror twisting in her stomach.With a shaky breath, she sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. The room was dim, the only light coming from the faint glow of dawn slipping through the wooden shutters.She needed to clear her head.Emma swung her legs over the side of the bed and forced herself up, stretching her stiff muscles. Every inch of her body ached from yesterday’s training, but she ignored the pain and moved toward the small basin of water in the corner.The cold water against her skin jolted her fully awake. She splashed her face again, hoping to wash away the unease that clung to her.After drying off, she opened th
The moon was high by the time Emma made her way back to her room.Her limbs ached from exhaustion, but her mind was worse—spiraling with too many thoughts, too many emotions she didn’t know how to handle.After training, she had hidden in the woods for hours, trying to outrun the fear crawling under her skin. She had thrown herself into running, into pushing her body to its limits, hoping that if she tired herself out enough, she wouldn’t have to think.It didn’t work.The vision wouldn’t leave her alone. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw them. Jayden and Kale. Lifeless. Bloodied.Because of her.She bit her lip hard enough to taste blood.It wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real.And yet, the moment she had tapped into that strange power earlier, she had felt it—something deep inside her, dark and wild, something waiting to be unleashed.What if this was fate’s way of warning her?What if she was meant to kill them?Emma shook her head violently. No. She wouldn’t let that happen.Th
Emma lay awake, staring at the ceiling. The room was dark, silent except for the occasional rustling of leaves outside her window. But inside her head, there was no peace.The argument with Jayden and Kale kept replaying in her mind, their frustration clear, their words cutting deeper than she wanted to admit.They didn’t understand.And they couldn’t.If they knew the truth—about the visions, about what she saw every time she looked at them—would they still want to be around her? Or would they finally see her for what she feared she was?A danger.She turned onto her side, hugging the pillow close.Sleep never came.—The next morning, Lily moved through the halls of the packhouse with a confidence only she could carry. She had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and after overhearing last night’s disaster between the twins and Emma, it had arrived.Emma was unraveling.The twins were frustrated.Now, all Lily had to do was plant the right seed in the Alpha’s mind.She rea
Emma woke up before sunrise, the cool morning air slipping through her open window. She sat up, stretching her arms, determined to push through another day. The past few days had been exhausting, and she wasn’t sure if things were getting better or worse. But she knew one thing—she wouldn’t let anyone walk over her.She dressed quickly, pulling on her training gear before tying her hair back into a messy ponytail. Grabbing a bottle of water, she left her room and made her way to the training ground.Since the day she had overpowered Cedric, his behavior had changed. He no longer taunted her or picked fights, but something felt off. He wasn’t avoiding her out of respect, he was purposely keeping his distance.The training session began as usual, with the warriors pairing up for sparring. Emma stood at the side, stretching as she waited to be picked.One by one, the warriors paired off. Emma kept her eyes on Cedric, expecting him to call her name, but he didn’t. He chose another opponen
Emma’s breath came out unevenly as she watched Lily and her mother sneer at her.“You can explain all you want,” Lily said, arms crossed over her chest, her tone dripping with mockery, “but it doesn’t change what we saw.”Emma’s stomach churned. She could already picture the smug way they would present this to the Alpha, twisting the story, leaving out details that mattered.She shook her head, trying to keep her voice steady. “It’s not what you think.”Lily’s mother let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “We don’t care what you say. The Alpha will hear about this.”Emma’s heart pounded. “Please, just listen—”Lily stepped forward, the glee in her expression undeniable. “No. You listen. We’re telling him, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”The finality in her words settled like a weight in Emma’s chest.With a triumphant smirk, Lily turned, her mother following close behind. The click of their heels against the floor echoed in Emma’s ears, each step sealing her fate.Emma swallowed
Emma’s heart pounded as she sprinted through the trees, her breath coming out in sharp, uneven gasps. The cool breeze burned her lungs, but she didn’t stop. She couldn’t stop. Branches clawed at her arms, the damp earth shifting beneath her feet as she ran blindly through the dense forest. Her heartbeat roared in her ears, drowning out everything else—except for the heavy footsteps closing in behind her. Tyler was following. “Emma!” His deep voice rang through the trees, urgent and commanding. “Stop running!” Her pulse pounded harder. No. She couldn’t stop. She didn’t want to hear whatever he had to say. Didn’t want to face him, didn’t want to deal with this. Not now. Not ever. But he was fast. Too fast. Her legs burned with exhaustion, but Tyler showed no signs of slowing. His heavy footsteps grew louder, closer. “Emma, stop!” She tried to push herself harder, forcing her body to move faster—but before she could get any farther, a strong hand clamped around her wrist. A s
Tyler and Jack surrounded Emma curiously as they waited patiently for their Queen to elaborate more about her plan.“Tyler” she called out in a serious tone. “Arrange a meeting with the Faes. Tell them we are ready to surrender”“What? Are you out of your mind?” Tyler asked in disbelief. “My Queen, are you really sure about what you're saying?” Jack asked with concern etched all over his face.“Yes, I am sure about this. I wouldn't be saying so if I wasn't. Now, ask no more and do as I've instructed” Emma said, her tone taking an irritated edge.“But at least fill us in on what you plan to do if we arrange the meeting with the Faes. You can't just leave us out of this” Tyler said in a frustrated sigh.“My plan is to arrange a meeting with them and hold them hostage till they release my son”“Meanwhile, we can't let them know what we're planning to do to them. To them, it will be just a meeting”Tyler's lips parted in shock. He was about to say more when a maid suddenly burst into the
“Shawn” Emma wailed in agony as she fell helplessly to the floor. She was too late. If only she had come a few minutes earlier she could have saved her son.Tears rolled down her cheeks as Emma looked at the empty room for any traces of her Shawn but it was empty aside from the lifeless body of the maid she had assigned to protect him.The maid was on her back with eyes wide open. A long slit had been made on her neck where blood flowed out of, making a small poodle on the floor.Emma bit her lips and crawled to the maid's side. With one deep breath, she placed a hand over her eyes and closed them.As soon as she was done, she broke down, sobbing once again. If this was the fate of her maid, then what was going to happen to her son? She couldn't dare to think about it.“My Queen, please calm down one of her waiting maids," pleaded. “I believe the young master would be alright. You have to be strong if you want to see him again” She reasoned.Emma knew her maid's words made sense and a
Jack stood there, breathing hard. His eyes were wild.Emma stared at him. "What do you mean? What do you mean there’s an attack?" She rushed out hoping it was her ear having issues but little did she know it was real and she was in for a shocker.Jack wiped his forehead. "It’s real, Alpha. They came from nowhere. It was a sudden attack and we don’t know how. It’s sudden."Emma’s mouth dropped open. "How is that possible? How can they just attack like that without us knowing? Don't you think something is wrong in your information? Something we don't know?"Jack shook his head fast. "I don’t know, Alpha. We didn't miss anything. It’s like they just appeared out of nowhere and then they are there, staging the attack.”Emma looked at Tyler. Her heart raced fast, like it would jump out of her chest. She could not believe this but Jack could not be telling a lie. If he said they attacked suddenly, then they did so and needed to act fast before the attack got rough.Tyler moved closer upon n
On the second day, Emma sat on her bed, staring at the window. Her head hurt terribly as she didn't sleep much last night. She rubbed her eyes and continued looking out of the window. She had been quiet all morning. She didn’t feel like talking to anyone. She didn’t even eat her breakfast. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Before she could say anything, the door opened and a maid walked in, carrying Shawn in her arms. The little boy was crying loudly that even the windows seemed to shake. His face was wet and red and his small hands kept hitting the maid’s shoulders as he wailed, his feet's kicking the air and occasionally her thighs.“Miss Emma,” the maid said in a hurry, “I tried to calm him. He keeps crying and won't stop doing it. I don't know what to do. I have tried everything possible to pet him but it seems he wants only you.”Emma stared at the both of them for a while contemplating whether to just chase both the maid and her son away or collect him from her. Sh
Five years later,Emma Sinclair had given birth to a bouncing baby boy who had a striking resemblance to her.It was her son's fourth birthday party and they were currently in a mansion throwing a grand party for him. The hall was filled with werewolves and cinder wolves who were here to grace the occasion.Emma was seated high in her throne, her face elegant and perfect. She had matured over the years and she had the glow of a mother and queen. She was a beauty to behold as several wolves cast admiring glances in her direction.But of course, her attention wasn't on them as she gazed at a little figure dancing at the center of the room. Her eyes shone with pride as she watched son dancing with his friends.‘Her son,’ she thought. She had done all in her power to protect him and she would continue to do so until her last breath. This throne, this legacy would be passed on to him when she was gone.Emma was no longer the weak wolf people knew her to be, instead that entity had been rep
After the twins had gone, Ava turned angrily to her mother. “Mom, what were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed. How good will you be to Emma if you're dead”“Shut up” her mother growled. “Don't act like you care about your sister. We all know you are happy that she's no longer here,” she revealed. “The twins are gone so quit the act”“Mom,” Ava said in disbelief. “Is that what you think of me? Don't you think that my alliance with the twins could be the only way we might get Emma back? I could persuade the twins to bring Emma back,” she added.“I would be a fool if I believed you, Ava,” Mrs Sinclair said. “I know you have no good intentions towards Emma. You're just saying all these because you don't want me to cause a scene or disrupt your love affair” she scoffed.‘Damn’ Ava thought. “How could her mom see through all her plans? She had to use a different tactic or her mom was going to ruin everything”She rubbed her cheek that still stung slightly and forced tears
Suddenly, the room was filled with an ear piercing laughter. It was Mrs Sinclair! She laughed like a mad woman and her sudden outburst caused everyone to turn in her direction.When she finally calmed down, she wiped the corner of her eyes and turned to the twins, her expression turning concerned.“Are you both okay? Are you in your right senses?” she asked worriedly.The twins felt insulted by her comment and they flared up immediately. “What do you mean by that?" Jayden growled. “Are you insulting us?”Mrs Sinclair shook her head quickly. “Of course not. I'm just stating the obvious. Because if truly you're in your right senses you wouldn't come here telling me Ava is your mate after impregnating Emma”“Mom” Ava yelled. “Please calm down” “Don't tell me to calm down, you slut!” she warned. “How could you be so cruel, so shameless”“Mrs Sinclair” Jayden growled. “You have no idea what you're saying,” he added. “Ohh” she scoffed. “Then please enlighten me, sir”Jayden’s eyes hardened
“Hii” Ava said breathlessly as she stared at the twins, not believing her eyes. They were actually really here to see her. Her lips widened on their own accord. She couldn't have been happier.She gripped the door handle tightly, struggling to breathe properly as the twins watched with interest, knowing their presence was having an effect on her.“You're really in my house" she blurted out and the twins smirked. “Yes we are. We're here to see you” Jayden spoke clearly.“Here to see me” Ava repeated, her cheeks heating as she gazed deeply at the twins.“How are you?” Kale couldn't help but ask as he watched a flushed Ava. In his eyes, she was the most lovely creature he'd ever seen.Jayden on the other hand couldn't explain how he was feeling. How could Ava be so different from that vile Emma? One sister was sweet and lovely while the other was wicked and cunning. ‘What a contrast’ he thought.‘The antidote must be working’ Ava thought with a smile. The days of her becoming Luna had b
Jayden and Kale ignored her and pretended they didn't hear say something. Lily looked at her brother and turned their faces to ours , they looked surprised she would do that but didn't reprimand her. “I asked a question, So? You didn’t answer me.”Jayden replied fast. “No. We are not fascinated by her of course. Do we need to reply to that question where as you know the answer to it. She’s not our mate.”Kale said at the same time, “Not even close to it.”Lily raised her eyebrows. “You sure? Are you sure you are not fascinated by my friend?”Jayden nodded. “Very sure. There's no second thought about it, we don't like her. You don't expect us to, she's not our marer, lilly.”Kale added, “We don’t feel anything for her, as simple as that.”Lily smirked. “Not even a little? Not even a tiny heart beat at the sight of her?”Jayden frowned. “Lily, don’t push it.”Kale said, “We’re not cheaters, we can and won't chest on our rightful mate with someone else.”Lily crossed her arms. “But your
