They made plans to kill Dorian. Roman set him up and made it look like he was planning with rogues against his pack. That being enough excuse, Emily was the one who took his life. As much as Dorian begged and even though Emily felt just an ounce of sympathy for him, she couldn't bring herself to spare him. Memories of how much he had hurt her came rushing to her and she murdered him.
View MoreEmily’s POV
“Rise and shine to a new beginning sweetheart,” My mother said pulling open my window curtains and letting in the flow of light
I opened my eyes to the bright light as I had my hand over my face to shield my face from the sun
My darkroom soon was eluded by the brightness of the sun peeking through my window blinds
It was my 18th birthday and it all didn’t seem like it
I only wished for a mate and a birthday as calm as every other
Being the only known daughter of the Beta of our packing made things easy around the pack and made me well-known around the pack by other pack members
And not to mention having a boyfriend who loves and cares about you
Dorian…
Dorian and I have known ourselves like since forever, and have been dating since I was fourteen
As I got up to my feet looking into my reflection in the mirror
Eighteen wasn’t actually anything special
It felt all the same
Growing up as the only child of the Beta of our pack was a blessing as I was given everything I wanted and had all a child would ever need to be comfortable in a home
I moved to my closet not minding my mum blabbing on how messed I had the state of my room in
I flipped through the hangers, searching for what to wear for my dinner party
My dad had always been a fan of birthday parties and had all birth year celebrated
And now turning Eighteen still felt like my tenth birthday
Having me friends over as they sang me a happy birthday song all through the party
Blowing out candles were my favorite part of ny birthday parties
Balloons tied with ribbons and so on, but this time a few decorations around the house
How time flies
Doesn’t it?…
I thought about how age had taken a toll on me and how things were changing with the year
“Hey honey get ready for breakfast!!” my mother yelled on her way out
I got into the shower and ran the water over my skin, feeling refreshed from tossing all through the night
I had my favorite dress on, still without a birthday dress as I was confused about what to wear for the night
As I got down the stairs, I found my dad smiling at me like he admired every bit of what he saw on me
“My beautiful angel” he said as he had his arms open for a hug
“Happy birthday sweetheart” he said as he handed me a box
“What’s in here?” I said flipping the box back and forth
“Open it” he said smiling to me
I loved how handsome he always looked when he smiled
Without wasting much time, I had it opened and saw a beautiful silver necklace and a Diamond pendant having the family symbol Which spelt “James”
I hugged the living daylight out of him when I opened it
“My very own pendant, thanks daddy” I said giving him a big embrace
All through breakfast, it was laughter as we talked about everything and anything bringing memories of the good old days
These were moments I found so precious
Spending time with my mother and father…
As I sat with them, I admired how lovely they both looked together as I thought about Dorian and how sweet we would look together in few years time
I glanced at my phone, hoping I would see a text from Dorian
But not a single text from him
Instead, I got a text from Lily who happened to be my best friend since childhood
Or so I thought…
The mating ceremony was to be held along side my dinner party and I just couldn’t wait to have my friends and loved ones over
I was hoping the moon goddess would grant me my heart desires of being mated to my boyfriend Dorian
As I had rejected Roman, the Alpha of the red creek park who had asked for my hand in marriage
My father was so glad when he did, but was somewhat disappointed when I declined
As I didn’t care anyway…
I saw how family members trooped in with various gifts and wishes as they came in settling for the mating ceremony alongside my dinner party
I was indeed blessed with the people I had around me
I wasn’t so sure why I hadn’t gotten a text from Dorian, which was so unusual
I tried placing a call to him but still wasn’t reachable
I texted back Lily who had dropped a message some hours ago
I rubbed my eyes and yawned as I felt so tired from helping out with a few arrangements down the hall
After minutes of tossing and turning on my bed, I went off to my closet
Feeling determined on a picking a dress for the night without any delay
After two wrong picks on what to wear, I spotted a red dress I have had for a long time without wearing
I tried it on as I looked into the mirror staring at my reflection
A few moments later, Lily was here
“Where the hell have you been girl?” I asked throwing one of the dress I had littered around the room
“I think I would go with this you have on” she said as she had her hand to her chin
She made herself comfortable as she laid on my bed looking so exhausted
I looked into the mirror staring at my reflection again as I wasn’t so satisfied with what I had on
“Look at you! You are beautiful hurry up” Lily said as she got to her feet
“Aren’t you changing what you have on?” I asked her
Wondering why she still wasn’t bothered about changing
The Lilly I know, would have had her makeover done by now but she didn’t
“I will for sure, but first…Let’s make a toast to a new beginning” she said as she brought out a tumbler from my refrigerator pouring out the Orange juice she had gotten on her way to the house
“You didn’t have to girl, we have a lot to drink for dinner” I said smiling so innocently as I grabbed my own share
“A toast to…” she said looking straight into my eyes
“A new beginning” I said as I had my glass against hers
Together we drank and laughed remembering the good old days
We were grown girls now anyway…
As she smiled, I remembered how innocently cute she looked the day we met at the playground having our parents worried over finding us
A day I would always remember
For a moment I felt the walls coming in on me, I giggled when Lilly said something but wasn’t sure why I giggled
Soon afterwards, the pain I felt down my stomach was intrusively painful as it didn’t subside like I expected it to
I held on to the arm chair as I was in need of support from falling
I looked up at Lilly who stood there doing nothing as she watched me cry out in pain
“Help!!!” I cried out
I wasn’t so much of a drama queen, so I wondered why Lilly just stood there watching as I winced in pain
Without her minding the pain I was going through at that point in time
“Lilly my stomach hurts, get mummy” I said as I had my eyes closed wanting for the pain I felt to go away
But it didn’t, instead it became worse
I watched how Lily walked up to the door as she had it locked
I couldn’t understand why she did that as I thought of what I had forgotten to do or probably done to make her care less
She wasn’t the girl I met at the playground when I was nine
“Lilly, what are you doing? I asked still wondering why she wasn’t moved
She didn’t bulge either, instead she sat back down as she had her hands to her chest waiting probably till what I feared was happening to actually happen
Did she plan this?…. I asked myself as I thought of ways to crawl to the door probably with the last strength I had to have it opened
My legs felt numb all of a sudden as I felt cold through my hands and feet
I was slowly losing it and needed help as fast as possible
Wolves were practically crafted to kill and protect according to instincts but now it felt as though she had this planned for a while now
I couldn’t help but wonder why I had to go through this on my 18th birthday and wished I had accepted the proposal of Roman
Not that felt any attraction towards him but it definitely would have saved me the stress of going through
I looked up at her halfway gone as I felt the urge to throw up
As I looked down to the floor where I laid, I froze when I saw it
Blood…
I was poisoned
After moments of me tossing on the ground crying out in pain begging for Lilly to send in help
I heard a tap on the door
Finally help came…
Or so I thought anyway
The tap came in twice and I wondered who it was on the other end
I saw how slowly Lilly walked up to the door trying to see who it was
And when she finally heard the tap, she opened up
I wasn’t so sure of who I saw, but the voice sounded so familiar
She hugged the figure that came in
And soon rather than later I got a glimpse of who it was
Dorian…
They had this all planned
My heart sank the moment he walked in
I felt so helpless as I they stood before me
The very two persons I had trusted and hoped on spending the rest of the day with
And now I lay here in wait of death
A tap came on the door soon after he entered as I prayed for it to be someone who has com to help
“The party would be starting in an hour guys, hurry up”
It was my mother…
She probably must be wondering what had kept us in for a long time
I cried out in pain when I heard her voice as I wished to see her just one last time before drifting on to the warm
embrace of death
“I’m sorry things had to end this way, but you have long been in a position that was meant to be mine” Lilly said as she giggled
“And now, I have come to take what’s rightfully mine” she added holding on to the hands of Dorian as they kissed right in front of me
I wondered why death felt so slow leaving me in the hands of the torture I was going through having them here together
Mates are gifts from the moon goddess to her people but now it felt as though mine was forcefully taken away from me by someone else
I could feel Dorian staring at me from time to time as he spoke with Lilly
I watched as they laughed and giggled to themselves as I had my eyes closed finally giving up on life and everything I had around me
All the attraction I felt for him soon disappeared as I was left in my own pool of blood to suffer
Death was finally here
I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth embrace I felt from death
I could hear faintly Dorian and Lily as they giggled turning in the lock to my room
I wasn’t sure what next as I thought of where exactly it is I had gone wrong as I begged to be grsy
Soon it all came to a stop
I was gone…

The damage caused by the previous turmoil was slowly but surely repaired, and our home began to regain its former splendor. Every morning, I woke up to the soothing sounds of nature outside our window. The park came back to life, and it was as if the trees whispered stories of our triumph to the skies above.

Families spread their picnic blankets beneath the shade of towering oaks, while children laughed and played. The scent of grilled food wafted through the air, carried by a gentle breeze.

The warm sun bathed us in a gentle glow, and the soft rustling of leaves added a soothing soundtrack to our meal. We settled at a pristine white tablecloth spread with a delectable array of dishes prepared by the palace chefs. The scent of freshly grilled vegetables mixed with the savory aroma of roasted meats. Platters of colorful salads and fruits added vibrancy to the table. My heart swelled with contentment as I watched Emily, her radiant smile more brilliant than the sunlight dappling through the leaves. Her happiness was my greatest reward, and I cherished every moment we spent together. Emily reached for a fork and playfully teased me. "Roman, you're staring again. Is the food that enticing, or is it just your lovely Luna?" I chuckled, unable to deny the truth in her words. "I'm afraid it's a combination of both, my love. This meal is a feast for
