**Emily’s POV**I didn't know how long I sat unblinkingly. But, I was sure of one thing, it was all because of him.It was because of Alexander. He caused me a lot of pain, not to me alone but to my pup.My innocent pup."Emily," I sensed his hand shot out to grip me.“Do not talk to me!” I shrieked at him, hurling the cup filled with the stinky liquid towards him."I'm sorry."“Don’t you dare apologize to me!”Perhaps, I shouldn't blame him for what Malcolm had done but if he hadn't pushed me out, I would have been saved from all the worries.Heck, my pup would be safe and I wouldn't have anything to worry about.“I understand how you feel Emily, please calm down—”“Do not tell me to calm down!” I snapped, cutting him off, “So the reason you brought me to your room is that you feel guilty and not because you wish to?!”“I’m not acting up because you lost our pup. I’m here because I care. Because I’m sorry for everything!”He gritted his teeth, brushing his hand through his hair. He s
**Emily’s POV**“Hi,” Ethan said, coming over to sit with me on the grass.“Hi,” I responded.“Are you here to train?” He asked, pointing at my clothes, and back at the open field.“No, not really,” I replied with a forced smile. “I came out for a run about ten minutes ago, and now I’m suddenly too tired to even lift my legs.”My reply seemed to sit well with him, as he joined in my laughter. I hated his laughs, it sounded no different from a pig’s grunts.“About the other day…” he started, placing a hand on my thigh as he spoke.I glared at his hand and attempted to lift my thigh so his hand could fall, but each movement and turn I took was futile.His grip tightened on my lap as though he knew what I was on to.“I am sorry I was a bit rude."You are not sorry!"I should have apologized but I didn't get the chance to and everything…"I tuned out his voice and grimaced as my skin began to crawl. My eyes moved around the large surrounding in search of Alexander.Despite being mad at hi
**Emily’s POV**“Does this mean something bad?” I asked.My heart constricted and I could literally hear it pound. Yet, I was afraid.It was my first time and I had never thought of any complications until now.I was never told by anyone there were any difficulties associated with shifting.And I didn't know what it means to be a red wolf.It was my first time seeing the colour as well.“No!” Alexander said with a chuckle, “It obviously means you’re special.”I exhaled and glared at him."You frightened me. I thought it meant something awful and you should stop acting mysterious, you could have said it instead of looking at me like I suddenly grew two heads."Alexander shook his head but said nothing."What next?"“Now we run.” He said.My brows furrowed as I gazed at him. “Huh?”“We came here to run, so we run!” He snapped, his voice laced with laughter at my obvious loss.Shit! I hated when he did this. He knew something I didn't know. In a normal sense, he should say it to make me
**Emily POV**My body trembled with violent pleasure as I felt something wild but sweet course through my body from the spot he had bitten on my neck.I closed my eyes, panting.“Mark me, Emily.” I heard him whisper into my ear.My eyes glazed over as I stared at him. And for some reason, my teeth throbbed. I felt edgy. It was like a million needles were pricking into my skin.Nevertheless, it was sensuous. At his command, I raised my head, towards the drizzling rain, bent over, and nipped his neck.It started as a low growl from him as my mouth still stayed on his neck. Then he roared as my teeth sank deeper.His veins pulsate in my mouth as I lapped on the blood that oozed out of it.I felt Ariel go crazy, but all of these feelings didn’t match up to the wild torrent of pleasure surging through me.It took me a few minutes before I realized that we were still at the lake… and our genitals were still… joined.Abruptly, the rain poured down heavily, drenching us. We hastily got on our
**Emily’s POV**The continuous knock on the door woke me up. Sitting up, my eyes wandered around the spacious room, and I realized I was still in Alexander’s room, on his bed…and I was wearing his clothes!A blush crept up my face as I paddled noiselessly to the door and opened it to find a pretty maid with a tray of food held in her arms.“Good morning, my lady.” She greeted with a slight bow of her head.It felt strange. It felt strange that these people who used to acknowledge me as a slave just a while ago were suddenly according to me with so much respect perhaps because they feel Alexander and I were a thing.Of course, we were a thing but he had not made an official announcement about it.“Hello,” I answered, with a smile.I opened the door a tad wider to allow her to come into the room. Instinctively, she took the cue and waltzed in.“Alpha Alexander asked that your breakfast be served in bed, my lady,” she said, setting the pieces of fine china plates on the bedside table.Th
**Emily’s POV**“Hey, are you okay? You do not look too good, do you care to share?” Ethan asked with the annoying smile still plastered across his face.“I am fine and thank you,” I replied curtly, with my head slightly bowed in feigned respect.“Care to step outside for a while? I would like to see you for a few minutes.” He said, gesticulating with one of his arms in a way that showed that he wanted me to follow him.I nodded stiffly.However, I did not wish to follow him.Still, I wanted him to get on with whatever he had to say. So, I followed leaving a tiny distance between us just in case he had other motives.“I still do not know your name, pretty one.” Ethan turned to look at me for a brief moment as we continued down the hallway. Even though I was wearing a white turtle neck blouse- which covered my mark- I knew he could smell it.Smell the change in me. I was certain he already knew I was mated and unavailable.But he kept on flirting, not giving a care.“Can you hear me?”
**Emily’s POV**Last night, after my encounter with Ethan and Sophia, I had a dream.A very weird dream.In it, I saw my mother, as beautiful as always, clad in a gorgeous flowing dress.She stood tall in the light, taller than I had ever seen her in my whole life.Not only that, but she also held a large sword in her hand, it shone brightly in the sunlight.For an instant, I had assumed she would give it to me as I ran towards her. But surprisingly, she had given it to Mary!Mary, the slave girl I met when I first got to Dark moon pack.The one who was nice to me. The one who was Beta Chad’s sex slave or used to be— I was not certain as I didn't listen to all the details about her and Beta Chad. And we barely talked anymore.The dream felt weird but very realistic at the same time.It had bugged me so much that I decided I would check on her before today runs out.That would be after I got back from Beta Chad’s wedding ceremony today.Yes, Chad was getting married and the preparatio
**Emily’s POV **I still do not know how I did it, but I suddenly did not feel the weirdness, the unease anymore.Instead, I sat quietly, engulfed in the serenity of the wedding. The peaceful atmosphere. The love the couple openly showed to each other …A single tear drop fell from my eye when the rings were exchanged, and I looked up to find Alexander staring intently at me.His expression was indecipherable.I almost felt jealous of Mary, of the way Chad openly stared at her with love-filled eyes.They were obviously in love. Yet, something felt weird.I believed it was the fact that a lot of werewolves' wedding rites had been withheld. Even though Alexander's speech was made brief, it was obvious he was trying to skip some parts.Speaking of Alexander’s speech, I remembered how intensely he had stared at me throughout. How his eyes never left my face even as he gave his blessings, it made me feel uncomfortable.But, in a sweet way. I wonder if it was possible to feel uncomfortable
