“We need to move fast.” I started. It's been days since Emily's kidnap, my wolf was going into withdrawals in the absence of his mate. “Emma should know something. Where is she?” Daniel asked. Just as if she was summoned, Emma walked into the room, her steps tense and her shoulders looking strung tight. She walked briskly to the table and sat down at the edge of the couch. “I know where Emily is. I'm sorry I haven't said anything about it, believe me. I was responsible for her kidnap and….” She didn't get to complete her statement before I jumped on my feet and barked at her, “What?!”“What do you mean by, you are responsible for her kidnap” I narrowed my eyes at her and watched in satisfaction as she recoiled from my intense stare. The aura I was emitting at that moment was deadly and she obviously knew that one wrong word would make me snap, badly. Daniel got up and came over to me, “Calm down, brother. You're scaring her, the girl looks terrified”I let out a loud huff of brea
Emma hasn't returned since the last time she was here. I didn't know if she ran away or she was pretending to the twins. How could she betray us like this? What was her intention? I wondered briefly if Dylan was actively searching for me, what was Daniel doing? How did they take the news of my disappearance? My thoughts strayed to my kids and I felt the overwhelming urge to cry. I failed them as a mother, I didn't know if they were alright, if they were being fed well and properly taken care of. Reynolds had released me from the ropes and chains but refused to disclose any sort of information about them to me. I wasn't sure they were in this building where I was being held hostage because I'd never for once heard the cry or sounds of children. My mind flashed back to all our happy memories together. It wasn't easy but we we're happy. Helen and Victor, the kids and I. What went wrong, why are we paying for the sins we didn't commit. I didn't know when tears started dropping down m
"Daniel is here as well?" I asked in surprise, struggling to keep up with Dylan's pace. "And the rest, who are they?" "Yes, he is and we have help from a few men," Dylan replied curtly, gripping my arm tightly as we pressed forward. "We need to keep moving. Stick close to me.” I wanted to ask more questions, to find out what the plan was exactly, but the urgency in Dylan's voice made me hesitate. Instead, I shifted my focus to the most pressing concern on my mind. "Keith and Kira?" I asked, my voice filled with worry. "Where are they? Have you seen them? Are they safe?" However, Dylan didn't answer. He simply shook his head and urged me to keep moving. "Emily, come on. We really don't have time for questions right now," he said, his eyes scanning around nervously. "We need to get out of here. Just stick with me and do as I say.” He quickened his pace, pulling me along with him. I tripped, my feet struggling to keep up. Anxiety was rising up inside me, making my heart race and my
"Stay here with the kids," I instructed Emma as I gently handed over Keith and Kira to her. "I need to go help Dylan find Emily.” Emma's eyes grew wide and her face turned pale. “What? No, Daniel. What if… what if we are attacked?" she stammered. "I don't know how to defend myself. You know that.” I placed my hands firmly on her shoulders, trying to calm her trembling body. "Emma, listen to me," I said, speaking in a low, steady tone. "No one is going to find you here. This is a safe place, I assure you. You just need to keep the kids quiet and stay hidden." She still looked skeptical, her eyes shifting to the children, who were watching us with wide, curious eyes. "But what if…" "Emma, please," I cut in, maintaining eye contact. "You can do this. I need you to be strong, for the kids. Please.” The children must have picked up on the tension in the air. They looked up at us with wide, scared eyes. Kira reached out her small hand, pulling on Emma's sleeve. "Are we in trouble, Aunti
After James disappeared from my view, I took a deep breath and quickly ran in the direction he had given me, my mind racing with a million thoughts. When I finally reached the old storage room, the sight of the massive, ominous device sent a shiver down my spine. It was not just any simple explosive – it was a complex, high-yield bomb that would destroy everything in its path. I had to disarm it, and I had to do it quickly. Steeling my nerves, I knelt down next to the device and carefully began to scan the complex wiring and components. Although James had given me a crash course on bomb deactivation, the reality of it was far more challenging than any training exercise. James' words echoed in my mind: "You'll need to be quick and precise. If you take out the wrong wire, it could go off.” "Alright. You can do this, Daniel," I murmured to myself. "For Emily, for the kids and for Dylan. They are all counting on you.” Slowly and carefully, I began to work, my fingers skillfully tr
The moment I heard Daniel's voice, a feeling of relief washed over me. I hoped that he had a plan to get us out of this nightmare. I looked at him, my eyes brimming with tears of gratitude. "Daniel," I whispered, my voice shaking with emotion. He took small steps towards us, his eyes locked on Reynolds. "Put down the gun, Reynolds," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. “You can't kill her, you shouldn't.” Reynolds let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with sadistic pleasure. "Oh, Daniel," he sneered, "you should be on your knees, begging me for mercy, not giving me orders.” To my surprise, Daniel responded with a laughter of his own that made me wonder why he was laughing. "You are doomed," he said confidently. Reynolds' face grew dark. "It is you who is doomed," he said harshly as he stretched out his arm to point to the henchmen surrounding us. "Look around you. There is no one to help you, even if you wanted to fight against me. Your brother is lying unconscious!"
As the men closed in on us, Emma and I stood still, our gaze locked on them. My mind raced with questions as I wondered if these were more of Reynolds' henchmen, here to finish the job. Then, one of the men stepped forward, and I flinched. He was an elderly man, his face marked with a quiet authority that demanded respect. His eyes scanned the scene before him, taking in Daniel's lifeless body in my arms, my kids standing behind me, Dylan's unconscious body on the ground, and Emma. "Who… who are you?" I managed to ask. The man looked at me with a steady gaze. "My name is Ezekiel," he introduced himself calmly. "A member of the werewolf council.” My eyes widened, and a gasp escaped my lips. "The werewolf council?" I repeated, wanting to be sure I heard him right. Ezekiel nodded, his expression serious. "We received word of the situation and rushed here as soon as we could." He paused as took in Daniel's motionless body again. "It seems we arrived quite late." I clutched Daniel t
My hands shook as I held onto the railing of his bed. “Tell me, Dylan! What do you mean he's not waking up? Is he dead? Did something happen?” My voice grew more panicked. Dylan tried to sit up, but he winced in pain and laid back down. "Calm down, Emily. Please," he said gently. Calm down? I couldn't calm down. My thoughts were a jumbled mess and my heart was racing with fear. "Is… is he… is he dead?" I stuttered. “Daniel has fallen into a coma,” he blurted out. I let out a shaky breath, relieved that at least Daniel wasn't dead, but fear still gripped me. I began pacing the small room, my thoughts all over the place. "What did the doctor say? Will he be alright soon? When will he regain consciousness?" I asked. At that moment, my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dylan reached out and took my hands, his eyes meeting mine. "The doctor says the drug in the bullet is really strong, but it just needs time to pass through his system. He'll pull through, Emily, he just needs
The pack had gathered in a circle, with excitement buzzing in the air.The time had finally come, the ceremony was about to begin. I slowly walked down the aisle, my eyes focused on the two magnificent men who awaited my arrival.My heart was racing with joy as everything I have always wanted was finally falling into place. Daniel and Dylan gently took my hand and led me down the remaining step of the aisle. They both stood by my side, representing both my heart and my pillar.Daniel stood to my right, his eyes gentle yet fierce with the love he had for me. His dark hair was neatly styled, but there was a ruggedness to him that only added to his charm.Dylan stood to my left, he had his hair similarly styled like Daniel and their similarities were very striking. The three of us had formed a bond stronger than anyone could have imagined.Kira and Keith, stood just behind us, their small faces filled with joy, their eyes sparkling. The idea of having not just one, but two fathers made
It's been weeks since Victor was exiled from the pack. I felt free and relieved. For a very long time I have let the actions of others determine my happiness but Victor's betrayal made me see things in a totally different light.I was free. Free to be myself and not live behind the shadows anymore.Ever since the night Dylan and Daniel had rescued me, I noticed tension between them. They seemed to be avoiding each other. I could tell that they wanted to talk to me about something but then they decided not to say anything about it, probably thinking I was too fragile to handle whatever they were dealing with. “Daniel, Dylan” I called, as both men stood in front of me refusing to look at one another. “What is going on? Did you guys have a fight?” I asked, confused about their sudden change in attitude. I thought they were getting along so well, the change felt like a whiplash, it was just too sudden. “Emily, this can’t go on forever. You have to make a choice.” Daniel started, break
I was happy to finally be back home, the kids missed me so much as they hugged me tightly. It seems like Daniel did not tell them about my abduction, which was nice as I know this would have worried them significantly.“Mummy, we missed you so much,” Kira cried in my arms.“We waited all day for you, where do you go?” Keith asked with a serious expression on his face.He also looked a little bit angry which made me chuckle. “I went to see a friend, it got a little bit late so I stayed there” I lied.He stared at me, clearly not buying my lies, Keith was slowly resembling his father.“Come on Kira, let's give mommy some space to rest,” Keith huffed, dragging his sister who was reluctant to leave.But I could not rest, Victor's words were still tormenting me, I could not help replaying what he said to me over and over again.“Does he mean that my blood was the secret to his cure? What was his sickness?” I kept murmuring to myself, biting my nails nervously.I felt numb. Everything was
“Where is she? How did you find her?” I asked. "We questioned the man we captured, he told us where she was being held,” James answered. “Where?" Dylan asked, his voice steady, but I could see how much he wanted to hear the answer to that question.“An abandoned warehouse in the woods, about thirty minutes from here. I have sent some scouts to go and look around the area.” James replied.“Call them back, I don't want to alert the enemies” Dylan commanded. “Okay sir” James immediately grabbed his phone and called the team to back down.“What next, Sir?”"Get the men. We leave now." I ordered grabbing my jacket and marching towards the door.James nodded his head in approval before turning on his heels to gather the men. It was time to finally bring Emily back home. “I am coming with you,” Dylan insisted, quickly putting on his jacket and getting armed as well.The thought of Emily being tortured by that man made my skin crawl with fury.“Let's go get our girl” The team quickly ass
It was past midnight, the clock on the wall ticked steadily but still Emily had not returned from her outing with Victor.This was so unlike her, she had not also responded to my text messages and her line was out of service, both hers and Victor’s.My phone remained silent, no text or call from her, I was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. This was so unlike Emily. She always informed me of her movements, or at least she would tell Dylan.“Dad, where is Mom?” Keith asked, clutching his teddy bear.He has refused to sleep as he kept demanding for his mom, wanting to show her the stuff we got from the farmers market.“She will be back soon, come on, it is time to go to bed” I urged him, lifting him up and taking him back to his bedroom where his sister was already fast asleep.“But I want to show her what I got,” He insisted.“How about tomorrow, as early as possible you wake her up and show it to her” I convinced, pinching his chubby cute cheeks.“Okay, good night daddy,” he si
I sat bound in a dimly lit room, my mind racing in circles as I tried to make sense of the situation. “Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking from too much emotion as my lips trembled from the gnawing sense of betrayal that coursed through my veins. I have known Victor for years, and I could tell this was not him. Something was wrong, something had to be wrong. “Did someone approach you to do this? Were you threatened? You can tell me” I said, trying to grasp onto any form of hope that Victor would not willingly do this to me. “No, I did this for my own personal gain. You are of use to me, Emily” He answered. “What do you want, Victor?” I demanded, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and confusion as it finally dawned on me that Victor had indeed betrayed me. “Why are you doing this? I deserve an explanation.” Victor stood across the room, his face which had always seemed so composed, so kind, now felt cold. His whole demeanor was chilling. “You are right, you
I sat on the couch in the living room still basking in the afterglow of the night before. It was a very intense and passionate night, one I would not forget so easily. I still couldn’t believe I had a threesome with Dylan and Daniel. What was more surprising was the fact they agreed to it. The warmth of their bodies still lingered in my head and my body still felt sore. It was a very rough night. “Mummy, what are you smiling at?” Kira asked as she ate the tangerine her brother peeled for her. “Just thinking about how cute you are” I replied, my cheeks turning red at the thought of what I was really thinking about. “What about me?” Keith asked with a sulky expression, pouting his lips. “My handsome boy, you are cute as well” As soon as he heard my compliment, a huge smile engulfed his face and his sister immediately started teasing him and their banter began. Finally after weeks of uncertainty, I felt happy once again, It felt like I could finally move on with my life. I was st
Dylan walked towards me, his large palm softly gripping my neck before he attacked my lips with his, kissing me passionately. I looked over at Daniel who seemed shocked by the action and with a flicker of my wrist, I urged him to come closer.Daniel slowly stood up from the bed and walked closer to me. He looked a little bit out of place. This was all new to me but it felt exciting.I immediately palmed his member and he let out a hiss of pleasure, he was already hard. He obviously liked what he was seeing. I broke the kiss with Dylan and grabbed Daniel's neck, kissing his lips passionately and he responded with vigor as well.Things were getting heated pretty quickly as Dylan immediately removed my remaining piece of clothing from my body, leaving me completely naked.Dylan grabbed my breast and fondled them while Daniel's hands roamed all around my naked body. The feeling of the two different textures of hands on my body made me tingle all over as moans of pleasure left my lips.“Ye
I sat alone in my room, my mind a whirlwind of emotions, my thoughts kept going back to the event that happened recently.Helen had been banished from the four kingdoms, her crimes laid bare for all to see. It should have been a relief, a moment of closure for me but I was still affected by her betrayal. It all still felt fresh.The revelation of Helen's betrayal had shaken me up badly. Being hurt by the people I was close to was the feeling I was used to. I was in denial for a long time but now that I think about my relationship with Helen, I realized that I have always given her everything I owned, sacrificed my happiness just so I could be with her. I craved friendship, a bond and I ended up betrayed.Knowing that the man I loved had been intimate with her, although it was clear that Daniel had been drugged, manipulated into a situation he had no control over, the sting of it remained.I could not face Daniel or even Dylan since the whole ordeal, I felt lied too. At the same time
