Beep. Beep. Beep. Emily furrowed her brow at the beeping noise. She tried turning her head away and burrowing further into her pillow, but she could not escape the constant beeping noise. What was making that noise? She did not remember setting an alarm or having an alarm that sounded like that. Just as she was debating, actually trying to get up and finding the beeping alarm when she heard someone say, “Look, I think she is trying to wake up!” Why would someone be waiting for her to wake up? Better yet, who was that in her room? Emily cracked open an eye and tried to focus. The light wasn’t very bright, but even that little bit of light made her head hurt. Why does her head hurt so much? Was she getting sick? “Emily, it’s time for you to wake up,” Agatha said authoritatively. “Go get Gabriel, he can quit torturing that poor man for a while. She is going to be okay.” Emily hurd someone running off; she assumed to do what Agatha had asked. Why wouldn’t they just link him? Emily
“Are you ready Luna,” Marcus asked, stopping outside of a very heavy looking metal door. “I think so. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” Emily said, a little nervous. It was really worrying her that Gabriel did not come to see her after Sebastian told him in person that she was waking up. Sebastian has said that Gabriel refused to believe what he was saying. She heard him telling Sarah that Gabriel’s eyes had looked empty when he was trying to talk to him. Marcus put Emily down till she was standing beside him. He kept an arm around her waist to steady her, but she was starting to feel a little stronger. Marcus reached over to a keypad and entered a twelve digit code faster than Emily could keep up with it. After entering the code, he placed his thumb on a scanner. Once the scanner confirmed his thumb print everything turned green and then the door unlocked and opened a little. Marcus kept his arm around Emily as he pulled the door open for them to walk in. When they walked in they wer
Thirty minutes later Emily was back upstairs, her stitches had been fixed and she had a new bandage on her side. It had taken a lot of convincing, but Gabriel had finally agreed to leave her side for a few minutes to hurry and take a shower. Once he came back from taking a shower and changing his clothes, he looked like her Gabriel again. His eyes were still flashing between his green and Conri’s bright green, but Emily could handle that. She never wanted to see his eyes the way they had been earlier downstairs when they thought that she was dead. Now she was being cuddled in his lap and Gabriel kept his nose right by her neck. Since he could not feel their bond or Rica being able to touch her and having her scent around him was the only way that he and Conri were able to be reasonably calm. They were listening as Agatha explained that she had been able to heal the hunter. She basically brought him back from death and was warning Gabriel that she might not be able to save him next ti
It took closer to thirty minutes, but eventually they got everyone in the conference room. Abraham was one of the last to make it, due to visiting pack members that had been injured and seeing which ones to bring based on what they had seen and experienced during the battle. As soon as he walked in the conference room he approached Emily and said, “Luna, I am so sorry to hear that you were injured once we left. If I had known that there was still any danger present we would not have left your side.” “I”m okay, and it is not your fault,” Emily said quickly. “I should have been paying more attention, but I let my guard down.” “Thank you, Luna,” Abraham said. “Alpha, Luna,” he said, including Gabriel this time. “I would like to introduce you to my son Thomas. He is also one of the wolves that you helped Luna.” “It is nice to meet you, Thomas,” Gabriel said. “I hate that we are having to meet this way though.” “Thank you, Alpha,” Thomas said. “I wish that we could have met under be
“What do you mean he isn’t the one that stabbed you,” Gabriel asked. “You grabbed the hunter that stabbed you. I pulled him straight from your hold and tossed him to Samuel. Samuel never let him go till they were in the holding cells. There is no way that someone else could have changed places with him.”“I know it doesn’t make sense,” Emily said frustrated, “but I’m telling you that he is not the hunter that stabbed me.” Looking at the camera the hunter handcuffed to the chair grinned. “I tried to tell you that I wasn’t the one that stabbed Lord Rotterford’s fiancee,” he said in almost a sing-song voice. In a more serious tone the hunter continued, “That is also why I couldn't tell you what was on the blade. I knew things that had been discussed in the past, but not what the current final coatings were. The last that I heard we were told specifically not to harm his fiancee.”Growling, Gabriel started to say that his mate is not Rotterford’s fiancee when Emily jumped in first. “Wh
Not fifteen minutes later the additions that the hunter had requested had joined everyone else in the conference room. Breanna had been the first to arrive and she had brought Emily’s grandmother with her. Agatha was the last to arrive. When she arrived she looked flustered for a moment before composing herself. Emily worried that she and Breanna had been stretching themselves too thin over the last few days. She tried closing her eyes to see if she could see their golden threads and was surprised that she could still see them. Rica was right. There were two parts of her that were not connected. Once everyone was situated, Gabriel turned the screen with the hunter back on. Emily was surprised when she saw the hunter again that he now had several wires attached to him. Not looking even a bit surprised, Gabriel said, “Everyone is here hunter. Now, tell us what you know.” The hunter looked at everyone assembled for a moment and then cleared his throat to begin. “First, I would like t
“I didn’t know that you had a sister,” Breanna said softly. She walked over and put a comforting hand on Agatha’s arm. “She was younger,” Agatha said softly. “And we had different fathers. I didn’t see her a lot, but we kept in touch once she was older. I had wondered why it had been so long since I heard from her, but I just assumed that she was happy and living her life. Why didn’t she contact me,” Agatha wondered out loud. “If I may,” Daniel said from the screen. He had overheard Agatha’s musings. “I think that she knew all along what was going to happen. She was never surprised by anything that the hunters asked her to do. Even at the end, it seemed like she had known everything that they were going to do.” Agatha listened to everything that Daniel had to say and nodded her head at a few points. “That does sound like my sister. She couldn’t see into the future like I can, but she did have very strong feelings and institutions. Thank you. She probably did know what was going
“Fucking bitch,” Daniel snarled and began fighting against his restraints. Marcus ran forward as Agatha stepped back and placed a shield between her and Daniel. As soon as Marcus reached Daniel, Emily saw that he had a syringe in his hand. He pulled the top off with his teeth and pulled Danile’s head to the side. He quickly jabbed the needle into the side of his neck and pushed the liquid into his vein. Within seconds Daniel’s movements calmed to all you could see was the rapid rise and fall of his chest and his eyes darting around. “You know that little injection won’t stop me,” Daniel said slightly slurred. “I am going to drain everything from you fucking bitches as soon as I get free.”“I don’t think so,” Agatha said, dropping her shield and tracing a pattern as she approached his left hand side and continued to trace the pattern as she walked counter clockwise around him. After she was done she turned and looked at the camera and said, “Breanna, bring me black chalk, and then fou
