HUNTER’S POV"Search the Pack now! Search every home and every corner! Leave no stone unturned. I want reports from every angle- do not return without finding her!"Thorn and I shared a worried glance at Dylan's voice that was bursting from anger and impatience. The vehemence in his words were shocking and I could tell this had gone way beyond acting.If it was from either Thorn or myself, I would've understood the panic of having our Luna missing. It wasn't just that, it was also because I had taken a small liking to her but hearing that tone coming from the most distant brother was too big a shock for us.We knew at once that something was up.Just like when he announced through the mindlink that they snatched Emy. Concerned as we were, his tone also made us panic even more.Now we watched him bark orders through the link as he paced back and forth in our Villa. He was running his fingers through his hair, gritting his teeth in annoyance. This had gone beyond just his pride as an Al
EMY’S POVBargaining? I knew what that word meant but I didn't think I was worth anything to the Alphas- no, I didn't want to believe I was worth anything. I simply didn't want to cause them any trouble. I knew whatever Alpha Jerry would ask for wouldn't be anything small."Let's see how much they love you," his mock tone made me gulp. Was I worth anything?"D-Don't waste your time," I stuttered. "If you ask for the impossible, they'll never give it to you."His face brightened with interest, "Trouble in your mansion, Luna? Did I catch you at a bad time with the Alpha's?" he laughed. "Now, now, we can't have you thinking you're worthless to the Alpha's." he pushed his hair back with a wide grin that creeped me out."After all, they are tearing the whole place down for you."I couldn't tell if he was joking or not but deep down I knew he was speaking the truth. I had come to trust them that they wouldn't let any harm come to me."But… h-how do you know that?" I asked. "You're… over her
EMY’S POV That shut me up fast. He pulled me along and I didn't dare to struggle. There was no way I would get away from them even if I disobeyed him. This was their den. With Alpha Jerry speaking with the Alphas, I was at the mercy of his men.He led me away from them and only when we got to the woods did I realise he was taking very cautious steps and when his hand over my mouth loosened, I wondered if this was really happening.'He's helping us-''Why?' He had risked his life to come all the way to Silverfang to get me in touch with Alpha Jerry. Why would he betray his Alpha? As curious as I was, I didn't think I was in any position to ask.I let him take me farther into the woods and when he stooped, he let go of me. "What the fuck are you still waiting for? A send off party?" he scowled heavily. "Scram, Luna!"His whisper gripped me with fear and I staggered back, taking a big gulp. "Th-Thank you-"He scoffed, "I don’t need your thanks. I need that botch to complete the other en
THORN’S POVI punched the desk hard with a loud grunt and it crumbled hard as the wood cut into my fist, drawing blood. The wound healed immediately and I was punching a hole into the wall next. I heard my own bones break but they soon rearranged and snapped back into shape.I spun around to my brothers who didn't look half as bothered as I-- well, except Hunter. He was still in shock and didn't seem to know how to process the news.Dylan, on the other hand…"Do you get it now?" he sighed, rubbing his face. Now we understood why he was so worked up!"Get what?" I barked, pouring out my rage. "The fact that we're in deep shit now? What else is there to fucking get-""Don't fucking raise your voice, brother! I see it too!" Dylan glared at me. "You think I didn’t worry about that when she went missing? Do you know how I had to keep myself from screaming to the men that our mate- fuck! I watched her fall off that cliff, snatched before my very eyes. How the fuck do you think I feel knowin
EMY’S POVI squeezed my fist on my thighs as I sat in bed while Ava checked my feet for any cuts. I was shocked to find that I had already healed. I wasn't used to my injuries disappearing like they were never there but.. At the moment… that was the least of my worries.I couldn't get the faces of my mates out of my head. It hunted me. Why did it feel like they looked so… petrified to find I was their mate?Why did something I had always wanted feel so… wrong?Were they not happy with the development? Why? Why weren't they happy with it? I could've sworn we were good a while ago. What changed?"Luna, are you alright?"I looked down to Ava who stared at me with worry. "You've been… frowning the whole time. Does it still hurt?" She held my feet with such gentleness and care.I pulled it away from her, "No. I'm sorry. I was just… thinking."She gave me an understanding look before she got up and moved to where the tray was. My stomach growled in response and I put a hand over it."I'm gl
EMY’S POV"I wish you knew how badly I'm holding back," the one cupping my cheek said again before he let go of me. I immediately miss his touch, almost stepping closer just to ask for it. There was a fever starting in my chest, spreading out to other places and making it tingle. I knew with a little attention from them, I would be fine but these men had other ideas."You're not happy that I'm your mate," I told them and wiped my tears. "I saw it the way you looked at me-""Emy-""Can we go back to how we were before?" I looked down to my feet. "I've always imagined what it'll be like being your mates for real but…" my voice broke. I didn’t want to start crying again but I couldn’t stop myself. "If it'll make you push me away then I don't want it-""What are you-""You didn't want me as a mate. Not one of you did. You only wanted me as your contracted Luna. That way, you can control an decide what to do with me-""Emy Reagan,"My body froze and my eyes flew open at the mention of my f
EMY’S POVI was pressed against a hard body from behind. The warmth made me snuggle and squirm but my eyes flew open at the low growl that came from behind me. The possessive hand over my waist felt heavy and the hard thick thing poking my back sent heat to my cheek."You're asking for it," his growl kept me in place but it also had something to do with Thorn who stared at me while he laid in front of me.My eyes fell on the mark at the side of his neck. A sudden realisation that it wasn't a dream but my reality now.Thorn was in front of me. Dylan behind me and… where was-A kiss landed on my cheek above me and the bed dipped, "Right here, love." Hunter grinned at me, making my heart beat faster but not in panic.I stared at him and even reached out to touch his cheek. "This.. Isn't a dream," I mumbled, still in shock at the calmness of my wolf and the feeling of being mated."You don't remember what we did last night?" Hunter smirked. "Is that a challenge, love?"Dylan lifted his he
EMY’S POV"It's too hard!" I cried out for the umpteenth time. I was drenched in sweat and it wasn't just because of the sun. This was more of a mental exercise than a physical one but it felt like my brain was sweating its frustration.Thorn placed his hand on his waist, his hard chest glistening with sweat-- now we could blame that on the sun. Why did he have to look so hot?"Keep looking at me like that and we'll start a different exercise," he flexed his chest and I flinched, startled at the sudden act that made me blush.I looked down at myself, quite thankful for the bra and underwear I had on. My nipples were most likely hard now."Emy, focus," Thorn said. "We've been at this all morning."He didn’t need to tell me that. I was exhausted but I couldn't ask for a break. I too was invested and wanted to know how to transform all by myself. I had only been lucky the first time."You just have to switch and give up control to your wolf. She knows what to do. She'll take over," he e
EPILOGUEAMELIA’S POVFEW MONTHS LATERI grabbed Hunter's hand tight as he led me down the stairs. I felt heavy and my feet were all swollen. I winced every now and then with a frown on my brows."I offered to carry you," he said, chuckling at my anger."I can do this," I was determined to walk on my own. Ever since my bump got bigger, I had felt nothing but heaviness. My stomach was so big that I feared it would burst. I was worried most times but Kelly would always calm me down when my mates just couldn't.I was certain they were fed up with my pregnant state. Well good because next time, they won't get me pregnant again!"What do you mean? We can have more babies-" Dylan started to say but I glared at him, lifting my head slowly as he paused in his words, scratched his temple and turned to Thorn."That's what I thought when I was younger," he quickly added and Thorn nodded, totally agreeing with him.Did I need to remind them that I carried not one but three pups inside of me? How
EMY’S POvSandwiched between my mates, it was impossible to escape without one of them grabbing me quickly and pinning me back on the bed. His eyes as he looked at me were filled with so much softness. I almost melted, especially when I noticed the bags under his eyes. I turned to the others and saw they suffered the same fate.Good. At least it was good to know that I didn't suffer alone."Where are you running off to, love?" His voice was equally soft and it went straight to my chest to try and melt the ice I had placed on my heart.The foundation threatened to shake but I clenched my fist and turned my face away but whichever direction I turned to, another face was there.One by my left, another by my right and the third pinning me under him- goodness! Why did it feel so Impossible to get away from them? They were everywhere I turned to.I closed my eyes then, only for my head to fill with images of them."Look at me," he demanded with a gentle but firm voice. He sounded so hurt. T
Amelia’s POVTWO WEEKS LATERThe oven dinged and I wore my gloves. The sweet scent of cherry pie filled the air and I took out the pan and placed it on the counter. I reached on my toes for my mother's favourite plate and I cut myself a piece.I munched down on it thrice and nodded my head, feeling satisfied at the result. I turned to her cook book and I closed it. Her recipe had finally paid off. It was worth the time and energy dedicated to it.I ate in silence just like all the other days since I moved into my home. The walls no longer felt alive and even the fragrance in the air no longer caught my fancy.Nothing interested me here. It was all glum and dark. I've had nothing but nightmares on my return here. My back hurt from folding myself on my old bed-- I could use a massage and a good Queen sized bed.I debated sleeping in her room but the minute I walked in, tears were the only things in my eye and I was walking out the next minute.I reached for my warm glass of milk and too
EMY’S POVI had always wanted to know who my parents were, what they were like if they loved me or not and if my life would be any different from the hell it had been all these years. I always thought of myself as a part of MoonShadow Pack and called it home but I received the shock of my life and entire existence.It wasn't just the fact that I had regained my memories and I was the Beta's daughter of the Silverfang Pack but it was seeing the hate in my mother's eyes as she lunged at me with intentions to kill. I was her prey and nothing more than that will I ever be.Was it really okay to die by her hands? I couldn't even move if I wanted to.Everything felt so slow in my eyes, even my fast beating heart had slowed down and I waited for my life to end.It was all so slow but suddenly, there was a black wolf running at full speed, dashing out of the woods with a scared look and before my eyes, it leaped in the air, hitting Nana with a force that sent her flying over.My heart stopped
EMY’S POV"Don't make this harder for yourself," Nana pulled me out of my thoughts and I realised she still kept her distance but by now there was nowhere to run. The cliff was behind me and it was either I jumped to my death or let her kill me."There is no escaping me," she said with a poker face, giving me the chills and I was forced to take a step back. When her eyes landed on my feet, I gulped, worried she might get funny ideas.The corner of lips cracked into a smile and she looked me in the face again. "You have two options." I already knew what they were. "Let's not waste each other's time.""You… lured me here," I gulped. "You deceived me, didn't you?""I'm not gonna do that with you," her face fell again. "I've gone through this so many times already. It feels like an endless loop," she rolled her eyes. "But that's the goddess's fault. Hw can three men have so many mates? Haha." her laugh held no humour."Nana," I whispered in shock and horror. "What did you do… to their mat
DYLAN’S POVAfter Emy cut off the mindlink, I had been uneasy and unable to focus on anything. Luckily for me, Jerry's men were not attacking… yet. They had only gathered in large numbers and moved too close to the borders and we upped our defence and alerted our warriors to prepare for any attack.We couldn’t take any chances.'I see Jerry but why isn't he doing anything?' Thorn, who was standing still beside me, asked through the mindlink.'I'd like to know that too,' Hunter said, just as confused as we were.I observed his warriors both in human and wolf form, they were armed, growling at our men every now and then. Commander Leon was certain they were trying to surround the Pack so we had him lead half of the warriors around while the other half stayed with us.Every now and then, Jerry would smirk at us, throw in a punchline or two to try and anger us, he would mention how we chased the eight Packs away for him and even mention kidnapping our mate-'Something… is off,' and I wasn
EMY’S POV"Slow down," I stuttered, trying to process her words as I got a pounding headache.'I'm sorry but I can't sit back and watch you die too, Emy,' her voice was firm and it held a lot of pain. 'It always starts like this. There's a distraction or a war and someone dies.'Death… war… Was she referring to the past mates?"Please, slow down," desperate to hear what she had to say, I had to make sure I didn’t miss a word. My head was ringing like a thousand drums were being hit.'I'm on my way to you, in the meantime, find a way to get out of there,' she said. 'Guards, maids- bullshit! I've seen this all before! They all died in that mansion and you're going to die too if you don’t save yourself!'I was terrified beyond words as I turned my eyes to the door, staring at it suspiciously. Would anyone really jump in here and kill me? 'H-How do you know that-''I've been around the Alphas long enough and I know whoever killed the last four is on their way to you too. I'm not buying th
EMY’S POV"Luna!" Helen rushed into my embrace and I held her close. "I'm so sorry, Luna. I put you in trouble. I'm so sorry.""What? Don't say that. It's all my fault. I should be the one apologising. You went through so much just because of my stupidity," I could still remember her dangling from Hunter's chokehold. He could have killed her there.She had tears in her eyes as she held my hand to her cheek.'I came as quickly as I could.''Thank you,' I was grateful that she could read the room."What do you need help with?" she asked."That," we both turned to Grace. "Help me look after her and let me know when she wakes up."'Report to me first, please. If the Alphas find out first, they'll kill her. I have something I need to ask her.'She nodded and bowed, "Yes, Luna. I'll do my best."'Also… can you tell me about the other mates-' she went rigid immediately, freezing with wide eyes as she remained in a bow. Her actions made me nervous and I knew immediately that something was up.
EMY’S POV"Phew!" I sighed with a hand over my chest as I stepped down from the car. I was tired, no doubt but I couldn’t let the Alphas see that. They wouldn't hesitate to fuck me back to sleep just to keep me locked in.I knew we would have to talk about their strange behaviour another time but for now, I'd have to make do with the army following behind me.That was the only way I could leave the mansion. I had at least ten guards walking in front and behind me. They didn't say a word to me nor did they look at me but their presence around me was loud enough.I wished my mates could tell me something. Anything to clear my doubts but their silence was rubbing off the wrong way. I didn't want to listen to my thoughts at this point in time.The doors opened and the guards gave way, allowing me to see Nana rushing down the stairs. I closed the rest of the distance, wrapping my arms around her when she pulled me into a tight hug. Her warmth and scent was beautiful just as I knew it would
