All Chapters of Fang Chronicles: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The music continued and Emily leisurely opened her eyes, seeing Maggie and Sam dancing a short distance away. Maggie did not look happy but moved her body to the music. Sam slipped his hands lower than the she-wolf's waist and Maggie took them in hers and moved them back up. Emily caught the grin on Sam's face when the couple turned. She then closed her eyes and again drifted with the music.Back at the table, they enjoyed their drinks and people watched for a while. A short time later Emily felt Brandt's thigh tighten against her hand."We're going to have some company but I don't think we need to be overly concerned, they're wolves."Emily looked around and saw four men heading to the table. She felt a presence behind her and by scent realized it was Jordan. She kept her eyes on the advancing men and taking Brandt at his word, tried to tap down on her edginess.Brandt removed Emily's hand from his thigh and pulled her up next to him then dropped her hand while Maggie and Samson s

Emily's apprehension with flying wasn't what it was the first trip and she was able to look out the window and enjoy the mountain scenery on the way to the wedding. Mandy chattered non-stop in the seat beside her with Caleb sitting by Mandy. Sampson and Maggie were also part of their entourage along with four pieces of muscled eye candy, which was the idiom Mandy passed on to Emily when seeing the men for the first time. Mandy's parents requested Emily keep a close eye on her sister due to her penchant for trouble. They were hoping she didn't find her mate for several years but after she was twenty-one, destiny could take its course.Mandy and Caleb asked about her trip to Denver and they spent the journey talking about music and shopping.Mandy educated Emily on pop artists and their music, "I love Adele, and I listen to her songs over and over."Their brother's annoyed voice broke into the discussion, "Yes scamp, I can attest to that. I'm embarrassed that I know all the words and

Squeals sounded as they drew closer to the room. Amy opened the door and two beautiful naked babies rolled on the floor trying to avoid tickles from their nurse. Their bodies round and chubby with light unblemished skin and curly light brown hair were enchanting.Both turned at the sound of the door and their eyes brightened at the sight of Amy. Then, noticing the stranger, they instantly shifted to their wolf forms and scampered under one of the two cribs. Two inquisitive black noses stuck out and watched Emily enter the room.Going to her knees, Emily sat beside Zenya and spoke gently to the she-cat. "Hi Zenya, I am also new to this world and in need of friends. I know of no differences between the cats and wolves. I just want friends that will care for me and allow me to care about them."Zenya smiled shyly and raised her eyes briefly to Emily's. Sierra chose that instance to fly out from under the crib and give Emily a small nip before running back to her brother's side."Sierr

Emily felt someone squeeze her hand and jumbled gibberish changed to voices that formed sentences in her brain. Struggling past the fuzz in her mind, she opened her eyes. Brandt, Mandy, and Caleb surrounded her bed. Her mate held her hand but Mandy's head gently came down to rest on Emily's shoulder and her tears quickly soaked the light sheet covering Emily's body."It's okay," she slurred past her dry, cracked lips. Her vision and comprehension slowly increased and she saw her brother take Mandy by the shoulders gently pulling her away. He gave Emily's hand a squeeze and walked his crying sister from the room.The intense pain was now a memory and she could breathe normally with only a slight twinge.Brandt lowered his head to her shoulder and inhaled deeply. She could feel a tremor run through his body. Her arm finally cooperated and she was able to rest her hand on his back.His low and husky voice clogged with unshed tears murmured. "I love you so much. I was afraid you left m

Brandt's tone remained even, "My mate is alpha. I cannot change her thoughts and she will speak her mind like we all do. However, we are uneasy and stressed; fighting one another will get us nowhere." He looked at Emily. "Dmitri is not your enemy."She took a deep breath and slowly sat down while gaining control of her anger. She knew Zenya had not betrayed them but this was not the time and they needed the vampire. Her eyes again met his. "I offer apology. I owe you for saving my life. I have few friends and one is now dead. I only wish to protect them."His ire cooled and his eyes slowly reverted to their previous color. Sorrow reflected in his voice, "Maggie and I had a relationship many years ago and I cared deeply for her. I will avenge her death or die trying. We are all on edge and it is I who should ask your pardon. I have never met a female alpha and sometimes forget that it's ingrained to hold eye contact. It would also help if you were not so beautiful." He quirked the sid
