Emerson POV, 

'A vicious Alpha taking out on Nicholas within his pack over a cursed bitch!'

I looked to find some of the pack members glaring at me, one stuck out his fang and hurdles his way from across the room towards me, I looked down, feeling threatened.

If he gets at me at this speed I will be devoured before the duel even starts. My heart was in heat. My hand clasped to the side of my face covering my ears.

"Hey, beast step aside, and get the bunnies ready. Nicholas can't afford to lose her, hurting his ego will be complicating the situation more." 

I slid my eyes shut with a thudding heart,  pinching my fingers together. I stare up to figure the mysterious man standing ahead not up to ten feet away from me. 

His muscular and gleaning muscles are unmistakable, his appearance is that of a model. Probably that is yet to air on television, only that his coldness gave me a strange feeling but his eyes were so appealing I could use it as dessert.

I want to know this man, and his ordeal for helping me. Stepping closer I find myself stuck to my feet hard on the earth. I feel scared and safe at the same time, he heard my plea, there is no way he will be dangerous.

"Hey take your mallet, you might need a knee pad stuck all over your face, it's four mounted riders against one."

He glared clenching his chilled jaws, I'm not in heat and I shook my head to stop the idea of me under his muscular body his scent mixed with mine. Well, no one had ever loved me. I slapped my cheeks out of the daydream. And quickly looked away with my cheeks red, reminding myself of the strayed wolf and how dangerous they are.

I have heard back members talk about this, where a man will claim the girl out of the blue and then vanish, and the patent of the girls will weep and howl out in the night searching for their daughter. After several months they found an abandoned cabin. 

I step in between them as they fix their helmet. Nicholas tosses me to the corner with his helmet.

"I have something to say." I glanced down at the two men with their faceguards. I release my grip on my ruffle skirt now sweeping my floor.

"Step aside sister!" He enunciated the last word mockingly.

 "I didn't want to create a problem. I appreciate your kind gesture but I never asked for your help, meddling will not help me." 

With his Alpha pride, he mounted the saddle. "I'm not doing it for you."

Then who are you doing it for? I'm scared. I'm really scared I don't know what to say as I grind my teeth together. My feet wobble and Nicholas chuckles hard enough to make me squirm.

"So you're trying your skills with me? Be ready to lose." I ran from the field to the side. Instead of having my face hanging high and mocked like a pitiful petal that lost its blossom, I rather watch by the side.

They hopped on, with every conviction that Nicholas would win with his mounted other riders, I was still fearful of the confidence on this man's face. 

His name? He is unusual and different. 

He gripped the mallet like a professional. His eyes furrowed inside the helmet and I figured he was looking for a weak spot to hit Nicholas.

Nicholas on the other hand had been renowned for his incapacity. He hated me for that. In the real estate world and the polo world. Father had beaten him to a pulp on several occasions calling him a bastard for his inability. He is never good enough and he played polo to prove his father wrong. When he almost went bankrupt. His veto over the polo house was lost.

But he reopened it after his demise, there is no way a pimp like Nicholas could ever be my fathers' son, his owl-like eyes dilated behind the helmet and he lurched forward.

The mysterious man raised his mallet scooping the ball and the men along with their phonies were out on the dive.

My heart succumbed into a scream thinking what fate lies ahead of me. For the first time, I'm here wishing for Nicholas to win. 

"That man is too good to be true." I heard some of the lounge servers swooning over him already. "Wait, did you charm him to go through all this for you?" The ladies poked me from behind and I was silent. If it's at the expense of my money, which I don't have, it will solace me that the mysterious man is leading. 

"Fuck off!" I yelled at them and moved my pace.

The game lasted one to three hours more than the usual two hours when the chukkers hit.  I noticed some unusual movement from afar. My eyes couldn't see clearly because of the fog.

"Shit! I didn't lose to that bastard!" I notice from the voice it was Nicholas, his insecurity sipping in like a drug. "Don't fucking tell me I did!"

A whole mount against one yet he couldn't win. An arsehole! Pleasure filled my heart at the reminder of how his incompetence still reigns within him.

"The girl is mine." I turn to my left to find my mysterious owner swearing hard. Yes, a meal. Wolves go into the woods for hours looking for what to divulge. If he goes through this duel to own me, I wouldn't be surprised.

"Who are you? Tell me! Who do you think you are?" Nicholas screamed at him, range in his eyes.

For what it's worth, I hid behind the stranger's back, at least he was soft with the woman, with his meal presumably more than Nicholas.

"Rydar, I'm your new owner starting from today, cat eye." His chest rose and fell behind his sweat-stained shirt, from his swell to the muscles and down to every build. He's strong, if not the strongest.

"Are you a warrior?" 

"You will find out soon, cat eye."

He is no different, he just called me cat eye. That means me following him as his slave or his meal, my heart breaks, the thought of leaving my mum and my father, leaving Lafayette hurts me, Nicholas I thought will do something and doesn't bother to interfere, instead he walked back to the lounge with his beta wolves. Ryder is like the lord of war, outstanding at winning the game of kings. I stared into  his hazel eyes but they were too cold to be true, I've lost myself to an owner I have no idea about- 

"Loworth Ryder of New Orleans claims Emerson." I heard the referee announce upon Nicholas's approval. Bastard, he's now done with me. I don't know much of Loworth but I fear this won't be the last time I would be a pawn.

    Emerson POV,I have been doing my best to avoid Alpha Loworth for the past three days even though his lips were plastered on mine. I have been hiding in my suite. I haven't gone down to see the happenings in the pack or to get food instead in order room service which means I have nothing but time to think about everything.In just a few days from now, he won't be able to protect me anymore, staring out of the skin my heart longs to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. Every night I wanted to sneak out but I couldn't, I'm scared of the outside world and the fact that the shutters were down gave me a strong sense of security.A few days, weeks or probably months is all I have. And I either have to find a way to kill the reaper or I will cross over to the afterlife.A knock on my door draws my attention out of my thoughts and I turn away from the window to receive the order that I have placed for lunch not having much of an appetite I get myself a platter of cheese cold meat and olive

    Loworth POV,When I saw the look in her eyes my heart dropped all of a sudden she looked broken and defeated.I pulled her into me and kissed her this time not wanting to let go. I taste her sweetness on my tongue and it makes me lick my lips.I drink at the sight of her rosy cheeks, the excitement from the kiss we shared staining her skin, her breast swelling under her v-neck t-shirt with every breath she takes. She looked like the goddess of sex until then blood drained from her face. Panic tightened her features and then her eyes filled with fear. Her trembling hands catch my eyes and her gasps begin to come faster until I start to wonder whether she is about to hyperventilate. I’m a little surprised by Enerson's reaction, she kissed me back, fucking melting into my arm but still, she looks at me with horror as if I fucking attacked her.I take a step towards her but her hands fly up in warning. “Don’t.” Her voice strained with panic and she sank in a frantic breath. “Don't ever to

    Emerson POV,Keven walked towards Alpha His father, he cleared his throat and pointed his finger at Nicolas.“This bastard should be taught a lesson.”Oh no, the least I wanted was to drag attention my way, I dashed as fast as my leg could carry me.“Stop it, Kevin, have you forgotten he is an Alpha.”“He harassed his sister, now she's scared of him and I have decided to stand in for her.”I squeeze my eyes shut, Keven blurted out and Nicholas noticing Alpha Loworth broke into a devilish smirkTaking notice of the hate that was suddenly directed at me after Keven made the revelation that I was Alpha Nicholas' sister. I slid them back open swallowing on my dry throat.Nicholas' father along with the other Alpha that were present directed their glutinous gaze at me. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have known the course for their action but now that I know the serial killer is on the rampage and that my parents were murdered because they were the last descendants of the moon goddes

    Emerson POV,It was unlike me, normally I would react or act in a silly way but I'm calm now, I don't see the stamina to react surge up my body.Alpha Loworth let the shutter down around the window the moment he stepped out, out of curiosity I trailed behind him to listen to what the other alpha were meeting him for.I didn't want to turn into a burden to the person who saved my life, instead, I stood by the door resting my ear against it in an attempt to hear something.But what I just heard is more deafening than anything I have heard since I got involved with him, a serial killer on the coast with a special trait of ripping hearts out.“Hey! I thought you were a worker but you're peeping on the Alpha.”Keven muttered under his breath, was he going to cast me, I wasn't even expecting him at this point.My limb felt weak so I remained in my position just as I felt like I had regained some control over my body a strong scent hit my nose, it smelled like lemon and grass and cedarwood.

    Loworth POV,I stopped to look at Emerson she was so engrossed in getting the document completed, a small smile crochet at the corner of my tip, she will do it well, I know she isn't the one to back down easily and while doing it she will take her time to forget about the tragic event that happened to her.“Let's check the supply before we go in for the meeting.” Monaco nodded to my instruction.I walked with Monaco to the safe keep in the hotel, the hotel business was what my father started from behind whenI was still small, originally all the meetings the the other Alphas were supposed to be held in the pack house but when Smith's father started misbehaving he changed the location of the pack meeting to the human world.“We have gotten our hand on shipment CA-456, which means we got an edge on Smith,” Monaco said satisfied.“Smith will be in uproar tonight. And that means one thing, he will want to take Emerson by all means especially now that he knows her powers.”I have Monaco a t

    Emerson POV,Loworth begins to rub his hand along my back urging me to go back to sleep, I am shocked but appreciative of him at the same time, I settle into the bed despite his position denying me a glimpse of his face and take in his warm scent my wolf exhilarated by our mate felt relieved and comforted by him.I breathed a huge sigh of relief as morning came. I knew that things would slowly become easier.Daylight brought new hope and with Loworth by my side all night, I chuckled lightly holding the sheet with his scent to my nose, savouring the scent of my mate made everything easier for me.I got up later in the morning and checked around the suite but found Alpha Loworth nowhere near, I changed into the slippers and slipped out of the bedroom only to see that Monaco had the luggage ready in the living room. I checked everywhere for Loworth but he was nowhere to be found nor was Monaco. My instincts tell me otherwise.“Where is everyone,” I asked indirectly. Zia replied with a h
