EMY'S POV "So... This is Luna Emy." I lowered my head and I squeezed my hands on my thighs, refusing the urge to massage my scalp that was hurting and throbbing like it needed a rest. To say I brought this upon myself would be an understatement. But the way she attacked me, oh goodness! Who would think that Nana had that much strength? Who was she exactly? We were in the living room and I was seated between Dylan and Hunter while Thorn was next to Dylan. "Does it hurt a lot?" Hunter whispered and placed his hand over mine on my thighs and I shook my head. It hurt like a dagger was stabbed in my head! "Allow me to apologise," I lifted my head to Nana who placed her teacup on the small fancy table next to her couch. Her long fingers moved with grace and elegance and when she held my gaze, lifting her chin gently, my heart skipped a beat. Why was my heart acting funny towards everyone? She was beautiful. She had a calming face and a gentle aura radiating from her. I wondered if h
EMY'S POV"You can be rest assured that your secret is safe with me," Nana said immediately after she gave me quite a scare. She was right though. I was labelled a spy. I wondered what would happen if the Pack members got to know about it.Would they rebuke me?"We know we can count on you for that," Thorn spoke on behalf of all of them and I turned to see the rest nodding their heads in agreement.So this was the woman they trusted even with a secret like that. If they trusted her so, then why did we still have to lie that we were mates? What was the use of it?Weren't they betraying her trust?"Luna Emy-""Yes!" I shot my head up at once. Nana blinked in shock at my sudden reply. "S-Sorry."She soon relaxed when the boys chuckled a bit."My world! That scared me," she placed a hand over her chest with a small laugh. Her sounds were posh and classy. What a beautiful woman inside and out.Hunter rubbed my cheek with his thumb, "Relax a little, love."I inhaled calmly and nodded. I did
EMY'S POVI opened my eyes again, staring at the ceiling for a while before I moved to sit up. The last thing I remembered was passing out. I looked out the window and was surprised to see it was dark outside. How long was I out?"Five hours."I flinched at the voice that came from my right side and I saw Dylan with his legs crossed and a large flat book in his hands. He glanced at me for a while even as his own continued to move."You were out for five hours," he said again and this time, he put the book aside and I saw someone move. A guard hurried to take it from his hands. "Hand this over to Alpha Thorn. He knows what to do with it.""Yes, Alpha," the guard bowed and immediately left the room.Did he watch over me during that five hours I was out? I felt grateful that I didn't have to sleep all by myself but I hoped it wasn't a bother."Thank you," I lowered my head to him and my hair fell forward, blocking him from my vision."There'll be no 'Thank you's' between us, Emy. You are
DYLAN'S POV How clueless could anyone be? Did she not know her words were one of confession? The curious look on her face as she said those words only made it sound funny. "If you knew what you just said, I wonder what you'll do," I sighed with a smile as I reached down and held her hand. "Come on, let's take a stroll. Maybe your heart needs to take a rest." "You think so?" She asked again. "How do you know that? Has this ever happened to you?" I tipped my head back and laughed, unable to stop myself. How could anyone look so clueless while sounding so funny? I had no choice but to agree with Hunter now. Her innocence indeed was fascinating. Everything was new to her and she had no problems expressing her shock. It was written all over her. I wondered… how would she react if we did that again but this time, what would she do if we had no intentions to stop? Would she let us touch her and consume her body with our feral passion? I glanced at the unsuspecting fellow who now faced
THORN'S POVI stared at Dylan with shock and it only lasted a few seconds but he sprung into action.He dashed to her bathroom while I stood still holding her in my arms. Her arms around my neck hung loose as she slept back. He checked her closet next then under her bed before checking outside the window.He sniffed the air around her bed but he found nothing.What did she mean by 'they were here?' Who were 'they'? Has she seen them before? Did Jerry manage to snake more men in or was it... was it them-"Emy," I called her name in a whisper. "Emy, wake up, you have to tell me more," I shook her in my arms. "Who is here? Who are they?""Mmmmm fur... soft... more," she mumbled nas nuzzled my chest some more. She was probably dreaming about being outside with us earlier. She wasn't crying anymore but the lines of her tears remained.Was there something she wasn't saying?Fuck! My head itched to know the information."There's no one here," Dylan reported. "I'm gonna go check outside. I'll
EMY'S POVWhy did I wake up feeling so refreshed? I guess the drugs kicked in last night. I wasn't expecting to be that tired even after sleeping for five hours as Dylan had said. I glanced at the empty spot beside me and when I touched it, it was a bit warm.Was I getting heavier? The way that spot was pressed in, I was worried for myself. At this rate, I could resume my wolf training again.Not like I had gotten anywhere before.I had so much fun yesterday. I didn't know how I dozed off. I would give anything to feel their furs again. They were truly Alphas- the size of their wolf was amazing. I had seen other ordinary wolves before and I now understand why it was easier to spot an Alpha on the field.How did they keep their beats cramped up in their- I didn't even want to think about it. I had never tried to understand or learn how it worked.I got out of bed and yawned my way into the bathroom. After going about my morning business, the maids picked out something casual for me to
EMY'S POVFriends. That word again. First it was Kelly, now it was Grace. Why were they so quick to offer a hand of friendship? Was it a natural thing here?If there was one thing the pit in Nightcrawler taught me, it was that friendship was only a tool to be used. Everyone who reached out to me back there only saw me as an easy tool to take advantage of and discard whenever they liked.I didn't complain back then because I needed someone to follow around and sleep next too. I wondered if I would still allow that to happen now that I had three strong Alphas to keep me warm at night?It was happening again. I was starting to get comfortable with them again."Sure," I replied after a while and she smiled at me. Her eyes were bright and they beamed at me."Are you okay though? You gave us quite the scare back there," she furrowed her brows. "Do you pass out often?""N-No, I'm fine. I don't know what happened back there," I kept my eyes down."It's okay. On the bright side, you managed to
EMY'S POVI flinched at Natalie's sudden outburst and so did Grace. She froze up completely while Natalie drew in deep breath and wore back her smile. It was truly creepy and confusing all at once."S-Sorry about that. I think there's something in the air," she waved her hands in front of her face as if to dismiss it. "Sorry everyone. You can look away now. There's nothing going on here," she said to the others around. We had gained quite a few stares."No really, look away if you don't want to lose your jobs," she threatened with a straight face and they quickly turned their heads, minding their business. "Sorry Luna Emy, I sometimes go into a powerful trance when crazy things don't know when to shut up. It'll never happen again."I gulped and answered with a nod.Was that because of Grace? It was because of what she was going to say, right? They too were hiding something.It was impossible not to notice but I knew I couldn't ask. If they guarded it this much, asking directly would
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
