EMMA“What are you doing?” I asked, panicking as his finger lightly grazed my collarbone, sending shivers down my spine.“Will you spend a night with me?” he murmured, leaning closer.In an instant, my eyes flew open. “Please, leave me,” I pleaded with tears streaming down my face, my voice trembling. The fear of this whole wolf business was overwhelming—a fear I’d lived with all my life, the very reason I had always supported Dad in living a normal, human life.He ran his hand through his hair in frustration, his gaze lingering on me one last time before I whispered, “Leave.”Without waiting, I bolted away from him, my feet carrying me blindly through the night. I didn’t know where I was going; all I knew was that I needed to be far away from him. I flagged down a cab and collapsed into the seat, my body trembling and drenched in sweat. My heart pounded, and my breaths came in shallow gasps.This had never happened to me before. Maybe it was fear—or maybe something deeper I didn’t wa
EMMA – TWO MONTHS LATERI couldn’t make it to Violet’s wedding party because of work, but today is her mate’s ceremony, and I’m on a plane to Paris to attend. Initially, I was terrified of all this wolf business, but I’ve come to accept it as an undeniable part of my life. After all, I’m a wolf too, and there’s no escaping who I am.Once the plane landed, I hailed a cab to the hotel Dad had booked for us. For some reason, we weren’t staying at Violet’s mate’s mansion, but who can argue with Dad?“You’ve grown so much, my princess,” Dad said, kissing my forehead.“It’s been only eight months. Tell me about Violet’s mate. How did you agree to this so easily?” I asked, eager to know the full story.“He’s the alpha of the Crescent Pack and one of the finest wolves I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you’ll like him,” Dad said, his admiration evident.“What an irony—you wanted us to stay away from wolves, and now your elder daughter is married to an alpha,” I said sarcastically.“I still haven’t chan
The cool breeze brushed against my face as I stood outside, trying to steady my racing thoughts. The fresh air calmed me momentarily, but then I heard a voice—strange yet familiar.“It’s good to see you again,” the deep voice said.I turned to find Alpha Elijah standing there, his dazzling presence as striking as ever.“I hope what happened between us that night will stay between us,” he added, raising a brow.“It’s a deal,” I replied curtly, turning to leave, but his hand brushed mine, stopping me in my tracks. A jolt of something—electric, intense—ran through me, making me pull my hand back quickly.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I just want to get to know you,” he said, his eyes narrowing as if studying me.“Aren’t you quite the gentleman, Alpha?” I shot back, trying to mask my unease. I’d always heard alphas were strict, ruthless, and dangerous, and yet here he was—different.He smirked. “Trust me, sweetheart, you don’t know anything about me. I’m a beast in wolf form,
EMMAWhat did he mean? I wanted to understand, but then I noticed my dad looking distressed.“Dad, I need to talk,” I said to him. He looked at me, and there was something off about him.“We need to leave,” he said nervously, and I was shocked by his sudden panic.“But, Dad—”“For God’s sake, Emma, let’s go!” he said, his voice filled with panic as he dragged me outside.An older man, Alpha Elijah’s father, suddenly stood in our way, blocking our path.“Where are you taking her?” he asked Dad, raising an eyebrow.“She’s not staying here,” Dad replied, his voice tense. The old man’s face darkened with anger.“Her destiny lies here, whether you like it or not. We need her to protect ourselves,” he said.“Dad, what is he talking about? Why do I need to stay here, and how can I protect them?” I asked him, confusion filling my mind, but he didn’t answer.“Emma, sweetie, you need to stay here to protect your sister,” Elijah’s father said, adding to the mystery.“Shut up, Carlos,” Dad snappe
EMMA"You're not to speak to any male wolves here, and I don’t want you involved with anyone. No relationships or flings around here," he said, his voice tinged with anger as he questioned my character."Tell me one reason why I should obey you," I replied, standing my ground. "I'm the one who needs to break the curse on your family, not the other way around.""I don't need to give you any reasons," he retorted. "I'm the alpha, and everything that happens in this pack house is according to my will," he added, taking a threatening step toward me. Once again, he trapped me between him and the wall. He raised my chin and stared into my eyes. "Don't you want your sister to have a child of her own? Will you leave her in her time of need?" His words were meant to get under my skin. He knew I would do anything for my family, and he was using that against me."Fine. I'll follow your rules, but keep your distance from me," I said, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions inside me. He smi
EMMA“It’s okay, Violet, don’t fight for me. It’s not a big deal,” I said, feeling hurt—not because of what Elijah said, but because I was always made to feel inferior in front of Violet.“Emma, please don’t be sad,” Violet said, her voice laced with concern. I forced a tight smile and then looked at Elijah, who was eyeing me like a predator.“Mam, what would you like to eat?” Lily, my personal maid, asked.“Thank you, but I’m not hungry anymore,” I replied, standing up from my seat.“No one leaves the table without having breakfast,” Elijah’s voice rang out, and I turned around to face him. His tone was stern, and his expression matched it.“I’m sorry, but I’m not hungry,” I said, mirroring his firmness.“Emma, please be respectful. He’s not just my mate, he’s also the alpha of the pack, and you can’t deny him,” Violet interjected.“I don’t care who he is, and to hell with this wolf role,” I retorted, storming toward my room.I heard the sound of glass shattering behind me, but I did
EMMA"Do you know you're really beautiful?" Mason complimented, and I blushed. "Thank you so much. Hearing it from someone as handsome as you definitely boosts my ego," I replied with a smile."Would you like to meet me on the terrace tonight?" he asked, his tone suddenly serious, and I wasn’t expecting that at all. Things were moving so fast."I didn’t realize wolves were so forward," I teased, and he smirked."We wolves are open with our feelings. We don’t waste time like humans. You should learn that because you’re not exactly human either," he whispered in my ear, sending goosebumps down my spine."Well, teach me tonight," I said, flashing him a smile."And wait," he added. "Why do you wear clothes like that? Don’t you think they don’t really suit you? Don’t get me wrong, but I saw you at the mating ceremony, and you have curves that are to die for. Why hide them?" His words could have felt creepy coming from someone else, but with him, it didn’t."I have my reasons," I said, unsu
EMMAOh god, what should I do now? I'm stuck. I promised Mason I would meet him, but I can't ditch Elijah because of his position. Still, I don't want to hurt Mason. I think I have to go with Elijah. If he finds out I ditched him to go with Mason, it could cause problems for me.I slip into the red dress, and it fits me perfectly. How does he know my measurements? I leave my hair loose, apply a little concealer, and swipe some nude lipstick on my lips. I don’t need to do much more. It's not like I’m going on a date with him, so I won’t bother going overboard.I wait in my room until the clock strikes 11. Right on time, the door opens, and Elijah walks in without knocking. Typical. This man has no manners. He’s dressed in a dark blue suit with a black tie—handsome, no doubt. But is he dressing up for some business deal?"It would be nice if you knocked first," I tell him as I stand up and walk toward him."This is my house. I don’t need permission," he says, extending his hand for me t
EmmaThey took me to the van, and soon, they injected a sedative into my wrist. After that, everything went black—I couldn’t remember what happened next.A few hours later…I slowly opened my eyes, feeling disoriented. I found myself tied to a chair, my hands and legs bound tightly with ropes. Panic surged through me as I struggled against my restraints, but it was useless. My vision was still hazy, but soon I noticed a group of men-three of them—standing in front of me. One of them is holding sharp gadgets while the other one gripped a gun and another carried a metal rod.Fear coursed through my veins as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. "Who are you people? Why are you doing this to me?" I demanded, my voice shaking.One of them smirked. "You’ll find out soon enough. Our boss is on the way."I swallowed hard. "Who is your boss?" I asked, desperation creeping into my tone.Before they could answer, I heard the distinct sound of heels clicking against the cold floor. The slow
EmmaIt had been months since I had been away from Elijah, and these past eight months had been nothing short of hell. I had to carry this burden alone, struggling to get through each day. I was working at a manufacturing company where people only saw me as an object to satisfy their lust even though i am carrying a child inside me but nobody cares.A woman alone is nothing but a meat to feast upon.As usual, another exhausting day awaited me. With my swollen belly, I made my way to the office. It was a large company, but the people working there were vile.Carrying a file in my hand, I walked into the office and knock and then a strong voice called out, "Come in." I stepped inside, only to find my perverted boss sitting in his chair with a woman on top of him, straddling him shamelessly. Disgusted, I averted my eyes.He looked up at me and smirked. "Finally got the file?""Yes," I replied, placing it on the table and turning to leave."Wait," he ordered. I froze in place.He dismiss
ElijahI woke up with a pounding headache, pressing my hand against my forehead. "What is happening to me? Why does it hurt so much?"I tried to sit up, but then reality struck when I felt an arm draped over my waist.My breath hitched as I turned around—there she was, lying beside me in nothing but lingerie.Fuck. What did I do?And then, like a cruel movie, the events of last night started playing in my mind.*****************Flashback*******************As Emma left te mansion heartbroken, i realised that i did a grave mistake. I should have ran after her but i was too heartbroken to react. To mend my mistake I had spent the entire day searching for Emma, but she was nowhere to be found.I was devastated. I should never have let her leave, and now, I had no idea where she had gone.Tears welled in my eyes as I returned to the mansion, only to find Isha sitting at the dining table. As soon as she saw me, she asked, "Where is Emma? Did you find her?"I shook my head, and she started
EmmaI slowly opened my eyes and saw Samira looking at me with a wide smile on her face. I frowned, trying to process what was happening."What happened to me?" I asked, attempting to sit up. A sharp pain shot through my head, making me wince.Samira gently placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "Congratulations, my love. You’re pregnant."I froze. My heart pounded in disbelief. Had I heard her correctly?"This can’t be possible," I murmured, my voice laced with shock. "How can I be pregnant, Samira?"Samira chuckled. "Oh, come on! You’re a woman, not some supernatural being immune to pregnancy. And let’s be real—you do have a very healthy sex life."I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, letting the reality sink in. I was pregnant. Oh my God.Tears welled up in my eyes, but this time, they weren’t from pain or heartbreak—they were from pure happiness. I had always dreamed of starting a family, but I never imagined the news would come like this.But just as quickly as joy fill
EmmaThe next day, I woke up and turned around, expecting to find Elijah beside me. Instead, I saw Isha sleeping peacefully next to me.Looking at her innocent face, I realized I had been too harsh on her Yesterday. In my anger, I had caused a rift between Elijah and me, jeopardizing our love story.I took a deep breath and sat up, only to feel a sharp throbbing in my head.What is happening to me? My body felt weak, and my head was pounding.I searched for water, but it was nowhere to be found. Forcing myself to get up, I made my way downstairs. Instead of heading to the kitchen, I accidentally entered the room next to mine and found Elijah sleeping soundly on his stomach.He was still in his clothes from the night before, looking so innocent and peaceful. I couldn't help myself—I walked over to him, gently ran my fingers through his hair, and whispered, "I'm sorry, my love. I was too harsh yesterday. But what can I do? I love you so much that I end up doubting every woman on this ea
EmmaI groaned in frustration and looked at Elijah "What is wrong with this girl?"Elijah looked concerned "I think she’s in trouble."Another knock sounded at the door, followed by a desperate voice "Please! Please open the door! Help me!"Elijah immediately got up, grabbing his clothes. I quickly did the same, my frustration growing. "Elijah, this doesn’t feel right."He cupped my cheek, his voice calm. "Baby, she’s just a little girl. A lot has happened in her life. She might be feeling scared—it’s okay."His words soothed me a little, but my unease remained. Elijah walked to the door and opened it. As soon as he did, Isha threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. A pang of insecurity hit me, and I clenched my fists.Elijah gently pulled back and looked at her. "Isha, are you okay? Tell me what happened."Her teary eyes shimmered as she sniffled. "I... I was sleeping in my room when I heard strange noises. It was terrifying... I felt like something was there. I got so scare
EmmaI looked at her with a shocked expression and said, “What did you just say?”Isha immediately shook her head. “No, I didn’t mean what I just said. I know your husband loves you a lot, but I’ve always heard that men aren’t loyal to their partners.”She said it so innocently that I couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, you’re right. But I love him, and he’s more than just a husband to me—he’s my everything. He would never betray me.”Esha tilted her head. “Ohhhh...”I nodded. “Anyway, here are your tampons.” I handed them to her, then looked around the room. "The decorations are so beautiful.""Did you do this for your husband?" she asked.I smiled. "Yes, I did. I wanted to have some romantic moments with him. But you’re too young for me to tell you details about that."She giggled. "No, no, I’m not! I may be 20, but I know how romance works. I know about how the heart beats when you love someone, it feels amazing when you have someone special in your life"I patted her head. "Good girl."
EmmaI looked at Elijah in shock, my expression filled with disbelief. He, however, maintained a calm demeanor, giving me a reassuring look before turning to Isha and saying, "You can stay here until we find a safe place for you to live."Tears welled up in Isha’s eyes as she hugged him tightly. "Thank you! Thank you so much for believing me. I promise I won’t be a burden. I’ll stay in a corner—you won’t even know I’m here."Watching her cling to my husband ignited an unsettling feeling inside me, but I chose to stay silent. Instead, I forced a smile and said, "You should rest. I’ll send breakfast for you." Then, turning to Elijah, I added, "I need to talk to you. Please come with me."As soon as we stepped out of the room, I turned to Elijah, my voice laced with frustration. "What the hell was that? How could you allow a stranger to stay in our home?"Elijah sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Did you even look at her condition, Emma? She was terrified, on the verge of a panic
EmmaElijah and I immediately jumped out of bed and rushed toward the guest room.As we entered, I saw the girl trembling in the corner. She was sitting on the floor, pressed against the side of the bed, her body shaking uncontrollably. Her lips quivered as she kept repeating the same desperate plea:"Please… save me."Elijah and I exchanged a worried glance before stepping closer. He knelt beside her and asked gently, "Listen, are you okay?"The woman slowly lifted her gaze. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.In a stammering voice, she begged, "Please… don’t let them take me away. They want to destroy me. They want to use me… to satisfy their lust."She looked utterly terrified.I crouched down to her level and spoke softly, "No one is going to take you away. You’re safe now. You’re under our protection."But despite my reassurance, she still looked frightened.Elijah, watching her reaction, decided to test her. "If you’re going to be this scared of us," he said with a seriou
