The following days in Emily's life are some of the busiest and happiest she can remember. In their quest to appear to be in a relationship in the eyes of everyone, they have gone on fancy dates, picnics, sight seeing, you mention it. Once, he took her to visit the place her human parents are buried, and since then, her heart has been at peace. She made peace with everything in her life, accepted that she can't change anything if that is how fate wanted things to go. While Mathew had stood at a distance waiting for her, she had knelt bedside her mother's grave and told her mother everything that have happened since the day she died."I left our trailer park, mama," she had said, her voice quiet so Mathew wouldn't hear her talk to the dead and think she is weird. "I didn't know what to do after you left me, but I ran straight into the arms of an Angel sent from above. I was upset with you when I found out you kept it a secret that I was not your biological daughter, but I forgive you now

The idea of going back to Jack and trying to talk him into rejecting her doesn't sound inviting to Emily, not even a bit. He is insane and there's just no way Emily is going to risk her safety by going to him, unless if Mathew promises to come with her. He looks intimidating and she can't imagine anyone, or anything, hurting her when she is with such a big, tough guy."I won't come with you. You have to go to him on your own."She keeps forgetting he can read minds. "I asked you to stop doing that, Mathew. And are you trying to get me killed by my ex mate so you can finally be rid of me?"His expression doesn't change as he scrutinizes her face. "Why would you think that? Right now, you are the most important thing in my life, the only person that makes me excited to wake up and start the day. Do you think I would want you to be killed?""Then why do you want to send me there alone? You heard that he is crazy.""He wouldn't hurt you physically. He may have decided to cheat on you, bu

"Your father and I were very good friends."Emily and the kind man, whose name she has learned is Joe, walk side by side in the forest, their pace leisurely. It Is peaceful, with the sounds of birds chirping in the air and the rustling of dry leaves. She imagines her father is with them, listening to her talk.Hearing Joe's words, Emily gets interested. She enjoys hearing about her family, the family she was deprived of at a young age. She may have been happy living with her adopted parents but the fact is that she would have very much preferred to be raised by her werewolf parents. Somehow, she believes that would have done her a lot of good, and Joe confirms that."Your father was a very good friend, father and husband, and he was ruthless when it came to the safety of his pack. I remember when you came along, how happy the family was because they had been trying to conceive for so long. You came along and you were not ordinary."What does that mean? Emily assumes he is talking about

With everything that has been going on, the changes, the loses, Emily had almost forgotten her family had not paid their land and property taxes for a very long time, ever since her father's illness had started getting out of control. It was the reason they had lost their house in the town and resorted to living in a mobile home.Now Jack and his pack members have been asked to leave the park if they do not pay up within the next several months.It seems Mathew has been spying on her ex mate, and although Emily doesn't understand why, she is glad he is watching Jack's every movement. During the time that she knew Jack, she had not found out how he earned a living, and paying the huge dept that had accumulated would likely be impossible for him, and he would eventually have to leave. The man Mathew is just from communicating with has told him that some of the wolves Jack had invited to live in the mobile homes have started to scatter once more, to find their fortune elsewhere, apparent

Unseen and unheard, Mathew has suddenly appeared in front of them, and they both wonder just how much engrossed they were in each other if they failed to see him approach, or even detect his scent.The shock Emily feels is nothing compared to that of Jack, who has his eyes open as wide as they can go, his lips and nostrils as well. It is like he has seen a ghost and gotten petrified by the sight. He begins to take slow, backward steps as though going to the house, and Mathew follows him leisurely, his hands buried in his pockets."Accept the girl's rejection or I am going to expose you!" he threatens, and Emily can only wonder what he is talking about. What does he have to expose about a person he has only met today?"No...you, you...""Accept the rejection, stammering fool! You are wasting my girl's time!"Jack seems to recover from his shock now. "Your girl? Since when has she been your girl? Last I remember, she was still my mate!""That's why we want you to terminate the connection
