EMY'S POV"I'm sorry," I stepped back as he came out of the woods with a little frown on his face. "I didn't mean to leave. Nana didn't think it was alright for me to keep waiting," I explained.But how did he get home so fast? Wasn't he supposed to have picked me up? Did that mean he had no intention to pick up and I would've continued waiting like a fool if Nana hadn't stepped in?I felt like confronting him about it but he already seemed angry at me and I didn't want to risk getting hit.Getting no beatings for a few weeks was something I wanted to get used to. It was nice not feeling any pain- although now the only ache I felt was in my chest and it was because of him.He didn’t say anything to me nor did his expression even ease up. I felt like a project being sized up. Once he was done, he walked past me, "Come on. You're just in time for dinner."I followed behind him as he dug his hands into his pocket.Did he have a fun time with Grace? What did they discuss?I chewed on my l
EMY'S POVI dashed out of bed the next morning. I was already late. How could I have overslept? I didn’t even try to get up earlier than 10p.m. Why did they let me sleep in? I was getting way too comfortable already."Grace called that Nana is at the district-"Those words haunted me as I jumped into the shower. Of all the days I chose to be late, she had to pick that one day to visit. Why was life so against me?I hurried down the stairs and rushed past the dining room-"Emy, you’re having breakfast!" Dylan called after me."I'm sorry, I can't. I'll have something when I get there! Sorry!" I apologised over and over as I made my way outside.The guard opened the car door for me and I got it. As if sensing the urgency, they drove fast and we got there in no time."Thanks!" I hurried into the building and got on the elevator with several others who bowed in greeting. I smiled nervously as I tapped my feet in anticipation. Once the elevator dinged at my stop, I got down and took a deep
EMY'S POVI ran out of there. How could I not? That sudden yell kick started my legs and I found myself outside before I could even blink. My heart thundered hard against my rib cages and I fanned my face with my hands to blow away the sudden heat.Note to self; never ask a woman for her perfume secret.I wondered how I was going to apologise this time. I had offended her twice. Why did I have to go and ask for it?It was a harmless question to me but it seemed to have caused some kind of damage to her.I made my way back to Natalie's office. They could give me tips on what to do and even give an explanation on what I did wrong."Anna was quick with decision-making just like Emy," Grace said. "But she was better. It flowed, you know?""Stop mentioning that!" Natalie scolded her through clenched teeth. "You're not supposed to call that name.""Yeah, whatever. I don’t care. They make it seem like she was never here. She's still in my memory. I can't forget,"Was Anna a friend of theirs?
EMY'S POV Startled at first by the sudden kiss, I soon melted in his touch and the movement of his mouth. My tears rolled down my wide eyes that I closed just like he had done and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His reaction was unexpected but highly welcomed. I opened my mouth and our tongue met, slowly colliding like twin flames and our passion kicked in like reunited lovers. He kissed the very breath out of me and I found that I didn't even want to pull away even when my nose was crushed against the side of his cheek. I heard his seatbelt snap and mine did too as he undid them. I felt his hand on one of my boobs and he squeezed. I whimpered, plucking my lips from his to catch my breath. "T-Thorn- wait- ah,", my heart leapt into my mouth when he climbed into the space between me and the dashboard. He touched something beside the car seat and the backrest suddenly fell backward. I was pushed back on it, falling flat while he hovered over me. I took a big g
EMY’S POVWe made it to the bedroom in no time with his hands sending sparks of fire behind wherever he touched. We rolled on the mattress and he paused a brief moment to throw my gown over my head, discarding it on the floor.His hot mouth kissed my nipple, licking them with uncontrollable desires as he pinched and played with the other one. I cried out at the heat of his touch. Raking my fingers through his hair and holding him close.I was wet anew like he didn’t fuck me silly some minutes ago. With every suck of my nipple, my core tightened and dripped, weeping for his hard member.He pulled me over him and I straddled his waist. I was stark naked while he was still fully clothed beneath me. Myabe it was the way he looked at me- lust filled with nothing but pure intentions to fuck- I didn’t feel ashamed.I could get used to this but I knew after today, my body would crave and beg for him.No, not just him.I felt a twinge of betrayal tug at my chest. I was taking only a part of th
DYLAN'S POVI could smell her in the air. She was no mate but her arousal was enough to make me lick my lips. I could blame it on the fact that I haven’t touched a woman in years but that would be denying the sweet fragrance of her pussy.“Emy-”“Please,” she begged and her voice broke like she could cry- if she wasn’t already doing that.Why was she suddenly so needy? She had never acted this way before.I sat up, pulling my hand from her grip. I tried to turn her around but she refused to look at me. She was obviously sulking. “What’s wrong, Emy? Did something happen?”It was torture trying to ignore her scent. The things I had to go through not to step on Thorn’s rules had never been this difficult and tempting. I was always in control. Why did she have to smell so good? I could just gobble her up if care wasn’t taken.“No,” she sniffed, clinging onto herself to solve whatever was going on with her.“Tell me so I can fix it, Emy. I’ll make it disappear, I swear,” I hoped she would
EMY'S POVI could just die from too much orgasm yet I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, my body- well spent and ready to face the world head on. This was going to be a problem. I didn’t even feel tired.I came so many times yesterday. I could still feel the dull ache between my legs. Dylan really made me come again before letting me go to bed. His tongue was so skilled that it burned deep into my very bone. I could almost still feel his tongue-"Luna," Helene called from outside the rood before she knocked and pushed the door open. She poked her head in with curious eyes, "Are you up?" She stepped into the room and shut the door. Her eyes turned worried as she approached me."I didn’t want to disturb you. You seemed so tired last night," as she said that, her cheeks stained with a blush. "The Alpha left before 7a.m."I guessed she could smell him in the air. What kind of scent did he leave behind? I was tempted to ask but I’d rather not involve her in this. Why could she sme
EMY'S POVI spent the day with Nana at the home for the widowed. There was nothing more tragic than seeing their will broken at the loss of their mate. It only made me admire Nana more. Everyone knew of the complications of losing one’s mate."Imagine being pierced with a pitch fork and time and time again, it’s rammed inside you till you feel there’s a gaping hole in your chest area," Nana explained it nonchalantly. "It’s sad stuff."She sounded so unaffected by it."Only by strong will," she said. "But it comes at a price," she tapped the side of her head."Memory loss?" I asked.Her face fell disapprovingly. I blushed when several others chuckled. It was a seminar to boost their self confidence about a second chance mate and even living to love and care for themselves."Thank you for attending," I bowed as I handed over a package to the woman in line. Nana had left me in charge of the gift sharing. I was still so nervous having to go round the circle of chairs, look them in the eye
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
