"What the hell, gingerhead?" Laura said, barging into her bedroom without any notice.Emily hid herself under the blanket, not wanting to get up or even move on the bed.Her wolf was in utter despair, and so was she.It had been two weeks since the last time she met Argus. True to his words, Lucian did not allow his Lycan beast to take over his physical body again. He disapproved of her meeting her mate. He was that ruthless toward her.Since then, Emily has felt as if her world is slowly collapsing. It could be because the emotions of her wolf were overpowering her.She never wanted to talk to anyone and didn’t bother to go out of her room except whenever she felt her stomach aching due to starvation. Lucian did not care about her either. He never talked to her. He acted so cold and like a ghost in Emily’s life, which angered her more.Emily felt the side of the bed move as Laura sat on it. "Hey, I didn’t request from the Alpha for you to have a one-week break from your class with th
Emily anticipated experiencing a jarring and agonizing blow when she and the little girl fell from the tree, prompting her to shut her eyes and hold the child tightly. However, to her surprise, a set of arms caught them both, making a gasp escaped her. When she finally opened her eyes, her heart was still thumping hard in her chest. The first thing that came into view were the familiar pair of wayfarer blue eyes, gazing down at her a mix of concern and annoyance."What the hell were you doing?" Lucian's words were, as usual, like daggers. Carefully, he set them down and knelt on the ground to check on the little girl, who was still crying out of fear. To Emily's surprise, Lucian wiped away the little girl's tears and examined her body, making sure she didn't sustain any injuries from the fall. "Are you okay?" he asked the girl.The little girl sobbed; her tiny lips trembled before she nodded. "Y-Yes, Alpha."Emily couldn't believe how Lucian's expression softened when he looked at th
As the Jeep came to a stop in front of the White House, the sun had already set. Emily rubbed her eyes and looked over at Laura. She felt completely drained after spending hours playing with the Omega kids, but the short nap had done wonders for her to somehow recover from that."What are we doing here?" she asked Laura in confusion as she scratched her eyes.Before taking a nap, Laura had informed Emily that they would head straight to her home as her maid, Lisa, was cooking some must-try food. Emily wasn't really in the mood to have dinner with Lucian at home, so she agreed to Laura's invitation."I have to hand these papers over to Tyler," Laura said as she gathered the papers from the back seat. "Our Beta needs to submit this to the pack hospital for their medical mission in the Omegas’ sanctuary. I’ll be back in a minute or two.""Alright, I’ll just wait for you here.""You don’t want to go to Lucian’s office to see him?" Laura asked teasingly and wiggled her eyebrows.Emily shoo
Without another word, Jacob started to drag her away. Emily’s eyes widened in fear and she continued to struggle from his grasp, still trying to scream despite his hand gripping her mouth. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she punched him in the arms and chest. But no, it wasn’t enough to defend herself from the devil of her past.She sought help from her wolf, pleaded with it to help her, and let her borrow its strength so she could save her life. Her wolf was trembling in fear within her, but then still nodded at her."Argh!" she screamed when she felt the sudden movements of her bones, as if those were trying to extend and reshape."What the fuck is going on with you?" Jacob stopped and looked at her in confusion.Emily began to run out of breath, her eyes turning a misty green ringed with silver. The pain was excruciating, but she knew she had to endure it. Her body slowly turned from being a human to a silver-white wolf. She was tired enough to navigate, so her wolf took cover an
The cold, sweet night engulfed Emily’s whole being. Her brows slowly knotted as she regained consciousness. She could feel the coldness kissing her bare and still in pain back, but at the same time feel the warmth brought by something wrapped around her waist.Her eyes slowly opened, blinked, and adjusted their visions until her gaze fell to a broad, chiseled chest. She realized there was a man so close to her, laying on the bed beside her without any shirt on and hugging her to keep her warm.She didn’t have to question who it was. The familiar scent of the man who awakened the wolf within her already answered her confusion. Her eyes carefully looked up at him.‘What is he doing here?’ she thought.Emily could not help but feel her heart racing faster than usual. Her mouth gaped at the sight of Lucian sleeping peacefully; his face was so close to her that she feasted on its every well-made feature.She was convinced that he didn’t look like an angel even up close; he was far from bei
The gentle hum of the water droplets was like music to her ears, soothing her soul and lulling her into a sense of calm. Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting the sound of the shower fill her senses and transport her to a place of serenity.Behind her was Lucian, who joined her in the shower. She could feel his gaze on her, but the man did not say anything and only helped her wash up the aftermath of what they’d done a while ago."You are forgiven," Emily uttered, feeling the heat on both of her cheeks.Lucian gently rubbed the shower gel on her back. Each stroke made her breathing harder, and so she had to calm her freaking heart all over again."Am I now?"She nodded. "Yes. You did what I asked you to do.""Hmm…" Lucian sounded a little amused or something. "So sex can wipe your anger away?"‘I guess so,’ she thought, but she had no strength to voice it out. Instead, she answered, "It was a spur of the moment thought. That’s what I wanted, and you wanted it too."Emi
Two days later,Laura burst into her bedroom with a loud shriek of excitement. Emily looked at her while standing in front of the window, curious to see what had caused such a shriek."What’s happening?" Emily asked as they both sat down on the couch.Laura clutched Emily's hand tightly, barely containing her excitement."There’s good news!" she exclaimed."Good news?" Emily repeated, her curiosity piqued."Yes, good news!" Laura confirmed, wiggling her eyebrows in anticipation. "Lucian has finally sent Scarlett away!""He did what?" Emily's eyes widened in shock. She was certain she had heard Laura correctly, but she still couldn't quite believe it.Lucian had actually sent Scarlett away?"Scarlett left the pack this morning!" Laura exclaimed, practically bouncing up and down with excitement. "We no longer have to deal with her anymore. She's been thrown away! Lucian made it official right away, so that woman will no longer be our problem. Isn't it amazing?""He really did that?" Emi
Lucian approached Emily's bed slowly, not making any noise at all, as his wife was sleeping peacefully. He looked at her and felt Argus' possessive growl, as if the beast inside him didn't like the idea of Lucian staring at his own Luna."You're acting weird," Argus said irritably.Still gazing at the little wolf on the bed, Lucian chose to ignore the jealous beast and leaned down to hold the blanket, then gently tucked Emily in. She moaned, and her forehead creased, but then seconds later, she was back to her calm breathing again.He had no idea why, but he felt something pulling him to caress her hair. And so he did, before he shut his eyes and forced himself to stand up properly, taking one more glance at her before finally leaving her bedroom."Caught you peeking again," Laura said, holding a cup of tea and grinning from ear to ear. His twin sister was leaning her back against the marble railings of the stairs and eyeing him maliciously."I'm glad you're early," he stated, not giv
