EMY’S POV"What… Did you say?" The shock in her tone made me tense and I wiped my eyes to get a better look at her. Her hands fell from my face as she took a step back from me."I-""Do not repeat those words thoughtlessly, Emy," her serious tone made me shiver and her eyes were intense in their stare. "Do you know what you've just said?""I-It's… the truth," I sniffed. "That's why the Alpha's plan to get rid of me after the one year contract."She stared at me strangely like I wasn't speaking an understandable language. She was making me feel stranger than I already felt just saying those words out loud."Emy, what are you saying?" she pushed my hand away from her with her questioning frown. "You're Luna. You're the Alpha's mate…" her words died when I shook my head at each word she spoke. She searched my eyes for the truth and whether or not she found it was unknown to me.She was throwing her hand on her head and exhaling deeply, "My goodness! This is too much for me. I'm too old f
EMY’S POV"Why does it feel like I haven't seen you in forever?" Natalie asked as soon as I stepped down from the car. She approached me in her black off shoulder top and her blue jeans. It was a little strange seeing her out of her office clothes but it was beautiful. Her hair was let down across one of her shoulders and she bedecked her neck with white pearls.I didn't get the chance to respond to that as I noticed Grace standing behind her. Our eyes locked and I felt a strange sensation especially when she stared back at me with an expression so clear and devoid of any emotion.She brought her juice to her lips and sucked on the straw, narrowing her eyes to Ava who stood behind me.Her gaze lacked its usual glare and was strangely replaced with nothing. It was almost as if she had let go of her anger towards me.I would believe that if I had amnesia."Come on," Natalie grabbed me and linked our arms. "We're going to shop a lot today! I thought you'd be resting on Saturdays."She le
EMY’S POVI dashed out of the bathroom, running in the hall with my heart pounding in my chest and my pants heavy in my mouth as I sought to escape with my limbs feeling heavy by the weight of fear pressing against me. Everything around me was spinning and despite how fast I ran, it felt so slow like I was stuck in a loop. I just wanted to get away. Why did it seem so impossible?The frustration was stinging in my eye with tears-"Emy!"I ignored Natalie's call as I looked ahead, the world outside seemed much better than the one in here."Emy, wait-"Everyone turned their attention to their Luna. I could almost hear the shock in their eyes.I got out and looked around for the car."Emy," she finally caught up to me but I was walking away again."I'm sorry, I have to leave," I said without sparing her a glance."Wait, talk to me-""I have to go. I have to get out of here," I couldn't look at her in this state."O-Okay. Should I go with you?"A guard was opening the door and I was alrea
EMY’S POV"Who told you you could walk out?" Thorn sneered at me as his grip got tighter. He wasn't the only one who looked furious at my actions. Dylan and Hunter were wearing a hard frown on their faces.I knew at once I had landed myself in a much bigger trouble than I had bargained for."Sorry, I didn't mean to-""That's all you've been saying," Hunter cut me off before I could finish my sentence like he'd been waiting for the chance.But that was all there was to it. Everything I'd done was by accident and look where it landed me; in a much bigger mess."Let go of her. I'm sure she'll keep still now," Dylan said and my legs listened because when Thorn let go of me, I didn't move.I wanted to run away and lock myself up where they'd never find me but he had spoken to my legs and they betrayed me!"I didn't think you could be so obedient," he commented, mistaking my shock for obedience. "I'm gonna give you a chance to tell us what exactly is going on with you, my dear. You see, Tho
EMY’S POVThe silence was heavy and pregnant with tension the moment the words left my mouth. Only my sniffs and hard sobs filled the air. It was an unbearable silence and I kept my eyes closed through the process."That sounds oddly familiar," Hunter spoke first."No wonder she's been acting off," Thorn mumbled from above my head. I imagined his narrowed eyes as he spoke."You were eavesdropping on our conversation," Dylan said more to himself than to me. "Do I have to throw in an extra punishment for that-""N-No. I walked in on it!" I defended myself. "I was going to the study 'cause you requested my presence but then I heard-" I sniffed, unable to repeat the words. It was too heavy."That's what got you acting off ever since?" Dylan questioned, sounding unamused.I found it so ridiculous that I lowered my hands from over my face and stared at him in shock. One of his brows was raised in silent question while my jaw was hanging loose.Oh my goodness! He was being serious!"Yes," I
EMY’S POV"What's the plan?" Hunter asked when Thorn led me inside. His eyes fell on our joint hands and his stare lingered before he looked away like he didn't see it. I was practically hiding behind Thorn with my face covered in tears."I'm guessing she's seen the news," Dylan sighed and I wondered if they were planning to keep it away from me. I would've found out the hard way if I chose to step out today. Would they only stare at me and point accusing fingers or would they throw stones too?The thought that the same people who had accepted me would now reject me was enough to make me shiver."Investigation is already being carried out," Dylan said. "We'll trace the source of this rumour."They made it sound so easy but what if they couldn't find who spread these lies? Would I have to live the rest of my life like this? These lies were a stain to the title I represented. Everything was ruinedThorn squeezed my hand like he could feel I was sinking into depressive thoughts. I was th
EMY’S POVDylan struck my bare ass hard and I flinched as pain rushed through me. I tried to get up from over his thighs in the car but his arm was strong over my waist.After delivering such an emotional piece of my past, you'd think these men would go easy on me but what do I get? A heavy spanking for disobeying; speaking when I shouldn't have even though it cleared the air and helped keep the rumours at bay.Worst part was that we were still in the car. It was a long drive home as they had instructed the car to drive as slowly as it could.Tears leaked from my eyes as even my legs were held down by Thorn. Hunter sat across from us in the limousine, his hand under his chin with a smile on his lips. He was enjoying the show."You're not counting. I'll start over-""No, no! Three! Three!" Despite my scream, annoyed at his actions, I could feel the heat rush through me and my desires were becoming unbearable. Deep down, I wanted him to do it again.I knew I was messed up but with each
EMY’S POV"No- that's… Grace would never-""Emy," Hunter sighed, taking my sweaty and shaky hands in his calm ones. He gave me a little squeeze, "We can't deny what was reported. The guards won't lie and they have footage of it too. We'll just have to wait for her to wake up."It still felt unreal. Why would she even-I was immediately reminded of our time in the Mall. The words she said, the silent threat and that look in her eyes. She was ready to destroy me with the truth she had learned of but would she go this far as to ruin my reputation?I didn't know what to believe. It was still a hard pill to swallow that the first 'friend' I made in Silverfang turned on me and even tried to steal one of my mates.I let it go and leaned more into Hunter's touch, stepping back into his embrace. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead gently."She'll be alright," he promised. "But not for the reasons you think, love. She needs to be alive to face the consequences of her acti
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
