Chapter: Chapter 171Epilogue Emily The last few months had been the happiest in her life. She was overcome each and every day with the amount of peace and love she felt all around her. The pack had taken to her immediately. Everyone had each others backs here… everyone looked out for one another. There was no backstabbing and no secret plans of takeovers. She wasn’t worried constantly about someone trying to kill her. And .. best of all .. she had Lo. She had him all the time. Gone were the days of him having to leave. No more waiting weeks or months or years to see him. He was always there. She was settling into her Luna duties easily. She had done them for so long there wasn’t much to learn. The only difference was the Crow pack was massive in size compared to Nick’s pack. It was even bigger than her home pack so there was a lot of work to be done. But she didn’t mind it. Emily looked down at her arm.. the small crow tattoo looking back at her. She had gotten it right after the wedding. She sti

Chapter: Chapter 170Wedding continued Emily Emily could not stop the waterworks that were happening. Tears streaming down her face as she sobbed at the letter. She sat it down beside her and patted it gently while she tried to calm herself enough to look at the dress. When she pulled it from the box, she immediately began sobbing again. She had never seen anything so beautiful in her life. The dress itself was the lightest pinky-tan color on the bottom. It was sleeveless and the top was fitted and covered with white lace and flowers. The bottom was flowy and had several layers to it. The train was long and white and was also covered with flowers and lace. It was literally enchanting. And absolutely perfect. So she had her dress and decorations and food.. now she needed some bridesmaids. ~~~~~~~~~~When the day finally arrived Emily was a bundle of nerves. As a special gift to her and Lo, her dad had gotten ordained and was going to marry them. When he walked into the room where she was getting

Chapter: Chapter 169THE WEDDING EmilyFor the past couple of weeks, she had been working nonstop planning everything. She wasn’t the type of girl who had to have all the bells and whistles and sparkles, however, she did want everything to be perfect for her wedding. When she had married Nick, she had let Susan and Sophia make most of the decisions. And none of it had been what she would have chosen to do… so this time, she got to do it right. She knew they’d need a large area with tons of seating. People from all around would be coming. Several different packs from near and far would attend. People from her home pack of course, even people from Nick’s pack would come. Lorenzo’s pack would’ve filled an entire valley alone. So the first thing she did was find the perfect spot … and surprisingly.. or not.. it ended up being right outside her new cabin. There was a huge open space on one side of it. The other three sides were blocked off by a mountain, a lake, and a forest.. but the front of her house

Chapter: Chapter 168Emily Nothing had ever felt as good as this. She didn’t care that sticks and grass were poking into her back. She stared up through the trees to the stars in the sky.. or maybe that was just her vision because she was losing herself. Lo continued his onslaught with his tongue. He licked and sucked and kissed.. he added a finger, then another. She couldn’t be still. It was too much .. it felt too good. She squirmed and whimpered and cried out. “That’s it baby…” he said. Then he went back in… attacking her with his mouth. He slowed down then. Torturing her. But goddess it was good. He lazily flicked at her with his tongue.. every so slowly … growling and causing vibrations as she climbed higher and higher. “Loooo…” she breathed out. “Mmmmmm” he hummed into her. Her body began to shake as she kept going higher and higher. He picked up his speed.. he added another finger. His other hand held her open as he kept going faster and faster and faster…. She went over the edge. She

Chapter: Chapter 167Emily Emily couldn’t wait to see Lorenzo. Being away from him for two weeks was killing her. Of course she had enjoyed her time at home. She loved seeing her dad and Brian and Maeve and June. She had gotten to snuggle little Charlie … and it was as if Charlotte was there with her. She wished they could all live in the same pack together. Her and Lo, their children… her brothers and dad and Maeve and now the baby. And Juniper of course. If she could just have them all with her every day.. it would be a little piece of heaven here on earth. She got to tell Andrew that he was officially adopted. They both hugged each other and cried. He asked her if that meant he could call her mom now .. and she smiled so big her cheeks had hurt. “Yes Andrew. You absolutely can call me mom.” It had been a beautiful reunion with all her children. But now she was headed back to Lo’s pack.. which would soon be her own. Alan and Collins were returning as well in a couple of days. Alan stayed a lit

Chapter: Chapter 166Lorenzo Emily had been gone back to her pack for only a couple of days, and already he was losing it being away from her. The hole she left behind was sucking the life out of him. He was moody and felt sick.. and bit the head off anyone who looked at him sideways. She would be returning soon… with the kids. He just had to hold off a little longer. He knew she needed this time with her dad and June and the rest of her family. Alan had gone too and taken Collins. Lo still couldn’t get over how that had all worked out but he was glad. Alan was the best fit for Collins. He knew they’d make each other happy, and he was happy for them both. Alan was one of his best friends and had the biggest heart, just like his sister. He was more like a brother to Lo.. him and Brian. Although Emily never got anywhere near the sister category. But they’d grown up together. The truth was Alan and Collins were a perfect fit. They bounced off each other in the best ways. Alan would bring Collins out o

Chapter: Chapter 97Em But then the doorbell rang. Em’s stomach did a little flip with nerves. Her mom got up to get the door. She heard them talking in the entry but she couldn’t see anything yet. Her mom was saying “Yes… come in… I was just telling her….” And then a man walked around the corner. Em got up to greet him .. but then.. someone else walked around the corner. Quinn. Her surprise must’ve shown on her face.. she was so happy he was there though. But he didn’t look happy at all. Was he mad that she postponed their date? He just stood there with his hands in his pockets. “Hey! What are you doing here??” She said smiling at him. “Em” her mom said. “This is John … my boyfriend.” He smiled deeply at her and she immediately knew she had seen him before. Wait. Oh god. There’s no way. There is absolutely no fucking way in hell this was happening. “Wait” she said. “This ….” She said pointing to John..”is your boyfriend?”“And this…”. She said looking at Quinn… “is your dad??”“

Chapter: Chapter 96EmShe and Quinn had planned to go to his house that night, as his dad wasn’t gonna be home. But then all the worry about the outfit, all the planning…. none of it even mattered. Em’s mom told her when she got home that she had a special surprise for her that night. The man she had been seeing was coming over. Em and Sawyer were finally getting to meet him. As much as she wanted to meet the guy.. she didn’t want to do it tonight. “Tonight.. mom? I’ve got plans.”“Well can’t you go out after dinner?” She asked. Em guessed she could. But she had been waiting on this night with Quinn forever. Pushing it back even a couple of hours really sucked. “We had some things we wanted to discuss.” Her mom said. What could her mom and this man possibly need to discuss that included Em? Maybe they were gonna take that trip together after all. She went upstairs to text Quinn that she would be late coming over because her moms boyfriend was coming to supper. Quinn never texted her b

Chapter: Chapter 95EmThe day finally arrived when Em was getting her stitches out. She had been nervous about it all day for some reason. Her mom was meeting her at the hospital but she still wanted someone to go with her. So the girls all piled into the little small waiting room with Em and her mom.. and the doctor of course. Getting the stitches out in her forehead didn’t hurt too bad.. but the ones in her leg were a different story. Those were staples.. and she had to hang on to Aspen’s hand and squeeze every time they cut one out. Mickey was watching closely. She literally had her head down by Em’s leg. But the soon as the doctor took the first staple out… she gagged and said she was gonna be sick. “This is worse than watching you get that last tattoo ‘Em!”Mickey exclaimed. Em quickly looked up at her mom… who hadn’t known about the ‘Q’ she had gotten… even though it was in plain sight on her hand. She smiled crookedly to her mom and shrugged her shoulders. “Ahhh shit. I did it aga

Chapter: Chapter 94EmHalloween had come and gone while Em had been in the hospital. She hated that she missed it because it had always been one of her favorite holidays. She and her brother would always dress up and she would take him trick or treating. They hadn’t got to celebrate last year either, because so much was going on. So Em was a little bummed. She had ordered the cutest costume too. It was an ‘80s aerobics outfit. It came with a boombox and everything. She had been especially excited for Quinn to see her in it too. She knew he would love the leotard. At least Sawyer still got to go trick or treating. He had dressed up as Jon Snow. Apparently he had told every person that answered the door that ‘he was the king of the north’. But now the holidays were just around the corner and Em was so exited. It was her absolute favorite time of the year. Her mom had told them she would get out the Christmas tree and decorations that night. And the girls were coming over to help them.

Chapter: Chapter 93QuinnHe was trying not to throw her down right there in the middle of the fucking entry way where they were still standing, but it was getting hard not to throw her down any and everywhere. He pushed her back against the wall kissing her madly, dominating her mouth with his tongue. She moaned… he pressed his whole body into hers. Just so she could feel what she was doing to him. “Quinn” she breathed. Holy fuck. When she said his name like that, he had to reign in the wild animal inside him. He growled. “Ahhhhh” she was making the most glorious noises. He bit her lip, hard, then sucked it into his mouth running his tongue over it. She was writhing. Pushing her body into his while at the same time pulling on his shirt trying to get him closer. She was still hurt though. Still in pain. He couldn’t be rough with her. He pulled away… looking at her like he wanted to devour her .. and he did. But damn. She still had stitches everywhere. Her ribs were still broken. Her poor

Chapter: Chapter 92EmThe next couple of weeks came and went. It was getting very cold.. almost snowy. Em loved it. After living in California, snow was a new thing for her. Although she had been skiing and vacationed where it snowed… she had never experienced it from home before. She was getting better every day. Her bruises were healing… her body was getting stronger. She couldn’t wait until she was able to dance again. She had to miss the competition she had practiced so hard for, but she still went and cheered the team on. Em was so proud of Sylvia and the entire group, they placed 2nd out of forty five teams. And that was not an easy feat. She was also proud of Sylvia’s mom… she had started this dance company all on her own when the school decided to cut out dance all together. They’d worked so hard.. and it had paid off. Em had gone back to school… she had a little catching up to do but luckily for her the girls had been bringing her assignments home so she wasn’t too far behind. She had

Chapter: Chapter 91Collins There was nothing gentle about this kiss. It was frantic and needy and all consuming. I felt fire where he touched me. Flames licked and flicked everywhere on my body. I gasped loudly as he shoved his tongue in. I accepted it.. hungrily fighting it with my own. The bond whipped and surged around us as my wolf tried to come forward howling loudly inside me. My stomach flip flopped as he took control of the kiss. He wrapped one arm around my back and slammed my body into his. I could feel him everywhere. The kiss went on and on … I felt like it must’ve been the longest kiss in the history of the world but I loved it. I wanted him to never stop kissing me. I wanted him to make me his.. take me … own me… possess me. He stopped for one single moment and looked at me. A snarl ripped from his lips as he went back in, taking more. He took and took and took and I gladly gave. Eventually we stopped. We both were out of breath and panting loudly. He rested his forehead against m

Chapter: Chapter 90Alan The holidays had been great.. exceptional even. My family had come.. Collins and I were getting along splendidly. I still hadn’t talked to her about Ingrid and Charlotte and I needed to hurry up and do that. She’d been very forthcoming with me about everything going on at school…. And what happened to her in the past. I also still hadn’t told Ingrid that we were pretty sure she was Charlotte’s half sister. I’d need to take care of that soon as well. I could’ve told her the other night at the party. But I didn’t want to get into it then. Surprisingly she seems to have kept her distance from me since that day I ignored her. Maybe not surprising… she was probably pissed off at me about it but she hadn’t brought it up the night I talked to her. It was New Years Eve .. and Collins was leaving in a couple days to go back to school. She had asked me to come watch her dance competition in a few weeks and I told her I’d do my best to make that happen. Tonight we were going to Emily

Chapter: Chapter 89Collins The next several days were perfect. Alan and I spent time together running and shifting. I practiced my “teleportation” even though I couldn’t actually teleport. Not yet anyway. And maybe I never would be able to. But Alan was shocked at my shifting speed just like everyone else had been. And he also agreed that he thought I could do it. I still had to concentrate and think of unhealthy things to get my body to actually do it. I didn’t know if I even wanted the gift if that’s what had to happen every time. But Alan said it would come with practice. Right now it’s only happening when I thought I was in danger .. but eventually I could train myself to do it on command. He showed me his ability of growing. The first time he did it I almost passed out. It was the scariest thing I’d ever seen in my life. He grew and grew and grew. Then once I got used to it I started laughing. Then I couldn’t stop. He eventually had to shift back to ask me what was so damn funny. I laughed even

Chapter: Chapter 88CollinsI stared at him. He had called me beautiful. I felt my cheeks getting red as he reached up and softly caressed one of them with his thumb. He then smirked at me. He knew he made me blush and … well this is Alan we’re talking about after all. “I love it Alan. It’s such a personal and thoughtful gift. I’ve never had a painting of myself. And I have never had a picture of my wolf at all. Thank you.” I told him. He nodded but had a pained expression. Like what I had just told him hurt him somehow. The utter intensity of his stare with those electric blue eyes was getting to me. “Okay. You next.” I told him and handed him his gift. I was suddenly an absolute nervous wreck … not knowing how he was going to feel about what was inside. He grinned at me though … I think he was attempting to put me at ease. I was sure the chemo signals were bouncing off me in waves. He opened the bag and pulled out the box that was inside. As he opened up the box and took the gift out I started e

Chapter: Chapter 87AlanWe continued walking after she ran in her house to grab my gift. I was feeling nervous about giving her gift to her… I hope she liked it. It took me forever to figure out what to get her… I just knew it had to be something special. Once she had it we continued walking. I tried to peek over at the bag she was holding but she hid it behind her back quickly. “No peeking..” she laughed. “Oh I was just admiring your wrapping skills that’s all.” I told her fully lying. She squinted her eyes at me. “No you weren’t it’s in a bag..” she laughed. I grinned slyly at her as we continued walking towards the pack house. “Where did you go earlier?” She said suddenly. Shit. I was hoping she hadn’t noticed my disappearance from the party. But I guess that was wishful thinking since I’d ended up being gone for over an hour. “I just had to take care of something real quick.” I said. I wasn’t about to tell her what I really did. Not now anyway. “Oh ..” she said. I could tell she didn’t lik

Chapter: Chapter 86CollinsI tried to not overthink what I was looking at. I tried not to overreact about it. She was a friend. I had a friend. I had an unmated male friend… so could I even get upset at all? Yes I sure could. I had seen the way they interacted together. The way they flirted. He even left me to go hang out with her the first time I was home. Well alright so they were going to do their job which was training but still. He didn’t have to go right then. Not to mention I didn’t like the way she looked at me that day. And that wasn’t even all. It was the feeling I’d gotten. Something in the air between the two of them. I was staring at them… both of them oblivious and in their own world. I didn’t like the connection they seemed to have. I could feel it from where I was standing. Lauren was suddenly at my side. “Drink?” She asked. I hadn’t planned on drinking at all tonight but I took it from her as I continued watching Alan. She followed my line of sight. “Hey…. I know I give him shit
