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
EMY'S POV"Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves," she withdrew her previous statement. "Maybe 'love' is a bit far-fetched right now but," she smiled sweetly. "You're starting to like them."I had never thought of it that way. Also because there was no one to like romantically in the Nightwalker Pack. Hearing this for the first time, I wondered how I was supposed to react to it.Was it a shocker that I liked them? I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I mean they treated me nicer than anyone I had met in my entire life and they gave me nice stuff. Sooner than later, my heart was going to come swing their way.I just hoped I'd know when to stop. What if I became too attached and refused to let go? That was going to be a problem. Also, there was no rule that said I couldn't like them."I don't know. Maybe I do," I didn't think I needed their permission to do that… right?"It's even better when you can't choose. That’s the sweetest thing about having three mates. No wonder you're t
HUNTER'S POV"Emy? Emy!"Dylan and I turned around at Thorn's urgent tone and we found him shaking her unconscious body.I froze where I was while Dylan dashed towards them to find out what happened.Did we miss something again? No, this was happening too fast.It shouldn't happen now.Her eyes were closed, she didn't show any signs of waking up.I was starting to tremble where I stood. The air was being sucked out of my lungs and the pressure on my chest was choking the very life out of me."What happened to her?" Grace rushed to them with panic on her face. "I'll call the healer-""Dylan- shit! Go handle Hunter now!""Fuck!"My vision suddenly went dark but I could feel eyes everywhere. I could feel her presence and also the scornful look she threw my way. I had let her die. It was all my fault-Someone grabbed my face with rough hands and forced me out of my trance."Look at me," I saw Dylan standing before me with worry in his eyes. "You're okay, hmm? It's alright. She's just pass
EMY'S POVI glanced at our locked hands before looking up at Hunter curiously. What was he thinking about? He was squeezing my hand so tight. He led me to a red sports car and he opened the door for me to get in.The first time he brought me here, we didn't use a car. Plus it was only a few minutes walk to the mansion. Was he going somewhere else?"It's not my turn today so don't miss me too much," he pinched my cheek. "Thorn will take care of you. I'll see you tomorrow," he grinned.He was always smiling like he had no worries in the world. I nodded and got into the car. He shut the door and crossed over to the other side.I tried to ignore it throughout the drive. We arrived in no time and he made no attempt to get down."You should go in. we'll be together tomorrow and I'll kiss you all you want," he winked. "Don’t tell anyone, okay? Hehe." he seemed like he was having fun.I wanted to believe that too.He gave me a last peck on my lips before I watched him drive away with a strang
EMY'S POV Thorn pulled away from me and I immediately missed the touch of his lips on mine. "What was that?" he asked as he raised his arm to his mouth and rubbed back and forth. He was wiping it away. "Another reward?" I shook my head quickly. "Do you go around kissing everyone, Emy?" he asked why did he sound so annoyed? "Just… you-" "You expect me to believe that? Especially after that last time," he reminded me but I wasn’t about to let myself be thrown in a corner. Not now when I could get what I want. "I did it with Dylan too but he said to never do it again," I confessed. "Yeah, that's right. The deal does not include this-" "I guess I should confess to him again that I kissed you even when I haven't kissed anyone else after that day," I lowered my eyes, feeling no remorse at all for my deceit. "But won't they be mad at you?" His silence was only for a moment, "What?" "They'll say it's your fault," I tucked my hair behind my ear. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you i
EMY'S POVI flipped the page two pages back after I realised that while I was reading, I had forgotten to understand. I didn't know how that slipped my mind. I was spacing out quite a lot, I noticed."Why didn’t you stop by yesterday?" Grace asked. We were alone in her office, sitting on the comfortable couch. I was trying hard to fight the urge to ditch everything and fall asleep here.That would be very irresponsible but why did they make the cushions so soft?"I didn't feel like leaving my room," I closed the book and picked up my cup of coffee with cream and sugar. I realised the black ones tasted horrible."What?" Grace stared at me in shock. "You're going to have to change that attitude if you want to be on Nana's good side or else she won't take you seriously."I knew that. But it was just so hard trying to fit into this. Up until two weeks ago, I didn't have to worry about how to run a Pack or being anyone's Luna. I was really trying my best here to build an interest first. It
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
