All Chapters of Finding Her Lost Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Emma woke when someone opened the door to the room where her cell was located. She'd slept fitfully. With her stomach empty she couldn't settle. She would starve before she agreed to anything Lucien had to say. When she opened her eyes, one of the silent guards stared at her through the bars. She didn't bother asking him anything. He would obey his Alpha. That's just how things worked. She sat up and stretched, her stomach rumbling. There would be no food; Lucien had made that clear. Dex must be going crazy with worry by now. As far as Emma could tell, she hadn't been here a full day, but it must have been half a day. She'd slept, but she didn't know if night had passed or not. The room had no windows and Lucien had ordered them to keep the lights on all of the time. The door opened again and Lucien stepped through it. He motioned for the guard to leave. When he turned to Emma a cruel smile split his face. "Hungry yet?"she wasn't going to rise to his bait. She wasn't the Emma he ma

Dex pulled his truck into the parking lot of what looked like a motel out of a horror movie. "Why are we stopping here?""Because we can't make it to the territory today. I'm done driving.""I can drive.""No. You need some rest, Emma." He opened the door. "Stay here. I'll get us a room."She stayed put but locked the doors. She didn't know what would come at her in the twilight. The motel room was on the back of the building. Dex parked in front of it. The room smelled of mold. Emma wrinkled her nose, but she knew they had to keep a low profile. "I'm sorry it isn't better, Emma."She hugged him after he brought in their suitcases. "It's okay. I get it. We're on the run."As long as she was with Dex, she could do this. "I'll go get some food.""Just order in.""I only have cash," he said.She nodded. "Okay. I'm going to take a shower."He left and she entered the bathroom. The towels were the smallest she'd ever seen. She slid into pajamas when she finished, feeling much better. Her

Emma looked around at the people passing by her. They stood in the parking lot of a real estate agency hoping they'll find an apartment. She tried not to gape at the humans who passed by. There were so many of them. "It's a little daunting," Dex said, standing beside her. "I miss the woods already. Even Fang City wasn't this, uh, busy.""Humans tend to pack into cities." He put a hand on her back. "Shall we?""Sure. This person will help us find an apartment?""I'm hoping."He didn't sound positive, but she followed him into the squat storefront office. Pictures of houses were posted in the windows on either side of the door. "Money is a big deal here."He looked at the prices, then grimaced. "Yeah. Hopefully, we can get something safe."They were wolves. They'd be safe here. At least she hoped. Humans weren't a threat. They'd probably run away screaming if she or Dex shifted into wolf form. A bell above the door dinged as they opened it. A woman with long blonde hair poked her head

Emma knocked on the front door with a casserole in her hand. The she-wolf here just had a cub and Emma was making her first visit as a Luna. Her heart sped up a little, unsure of the reaction she would receive. She suspected not all of Dex's pack would welcome her.The door was opened by a small boy who looked at her with big eyes."Daren, I told you not to open that," a woman yelled. She appeared a minute later, a baby in her arms. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she had food stains on her shirt. "Oh, hi. You're Emma right?""Yes. I brought food," she said, then realized how dumb that sounded. Her nerves were getting the best of her. The woman, Carrie, nudged her son out of the way. "Go finish your snack."He left and Carrie opened the door wider. "Come in.""Where can I put this?""If you don't mind, the kitchen would be great."Carrie led Emma that way. "Please excuse the mess," Carrie said. "You've just had a baby. Housekeeping should be a low priority," Emma said, putting

They didn't make it past the porch on their house before Dex had his lips on her and her body pushed against the door. She thrummed and hummed at his touches. "Dex.""If I could make love to you constantly, I would."Her heart skipped a beat in her chest. How could she have chosen anything less than the look in Dex's eyes? She was the only wolf on the planet. His eyes were gray with passion and she knew that if he touched him the right way, he would explode.That was a lot of power and the universe had only given it to Lunas. Dex could do the same to her. One touch, one look, and she was on fire. Together their passion could burn down their house.She reached behind her and opened the front door. "Let's take this inside."The words came out shaky, not from fear, but from the powerful emotions she felt for Dex. He loosened his grip and they tumbled into the house. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Emma. Will I ever get enough of you?""I certainly hope not."His laugh came out as muc
