Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 14: Closet Confessions
Emma decided she might as well make the best of this. She needed to keep her mind off of the fact that she was in a closet; she didn't like enclosed spaces. "How is the Council going?" she asked. "So far so good. We've been accepted as a new pack more easily than I expected.""That's good. What you're doing is a good thing, Dex. Everyone needs a pack.""It'll cut down on crime. We won't have lone wolves wandering around looking for food or shelter. The rest of the packs won't have to worry about them," he said. "It all makes sense. I wonder why no one has done it before," she said.As far back as she could remember there had been lone wolves and outcasts. Parents died or rejected their children. It was sad, but it happened. Until Dex created his pack, there had been no recourse for those in that situation. They had to fend for themselves. No pack had ever trusted them enough to let them in. An orphan could marry into a pack, but there was always suspicion. "I don't know either. I'
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 15: Waking Up
Emma came awake first. She knew instantly she wasn't in her bed, but she couldn't remember where she was. She felt the arms around her tighten slightly, and she suddenly realized that they did not belong to Lucien Dex.They'd fallen asleep in the closet."Dex."He groaned but didn't wake. "Wake up."She shoved him this time. His eyes flew opened. "What?""We fell asleep in the closet." She looked at her phone. Lucien wouldn't be awake yet. She might still have time to slip into bed. Dex sat up, yawned, and scratched his chest. "My back is going to hurt all day.""Yeah? That doesn't seem like a huge problem. I have to get back to the cottage."He rose. They both listened. "I don't think anyone is out there."She moved to the door, but Dex caught her. "There is no one else I'd rather be in a closet with."She smiled up at him. She'd had a good time, maybe even better than if she'd met up with Kendra. Wait. She needed an alibi. She pulled out her phone, holding a finger up to do Dex.
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 16: Wonderful Husband
Emma chose not to argue with Lucien. It was one day. She could clench her jaw and get through it. She followed him to the main hotel. In the lobby, she found her parents. "Emma," her mother, Barbara, said and hugged her. Lucien shook her father's hand. "Jeff.""Lucien, my boy. You are looking good," Jeff said, slapping him on the back. "You as well."Lucien only turned on this charm for Emma's parents. It chafed her, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. It's most likely why they liked Lucien so much. They never realized he was cold and distant. "Shall we get some breakfast?" Jeff asked. "It smells good," Barbara said."My parents are in there already if you'd like to join us," Lucien said. "We wouldn't want to intrude on family time," Barbara said. "Nonsense. I'm sure they'll be glad to see you," Lucien said.He put his hand on Emma's lower back and directed her into the dining room where a spread of food was laid out. Silverware clinked and the smell of coffee hit
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 17: Dex's World
Emma had dinner with her family and Lucien's. Her family had finally stopped complaining about Dex probably because she didn't rise to their bait. Even if she'd wanted to defend him, they wouldn't have listened to her. As they sat around the table, the men talked about the latest news and what had been decided at the Council. Emma listened with interest when she heard Dex's name. "Not only has he formed this pack of misfits, but he's also got some crazy new ideas," Lucien said. Emma immediately straightened, no longer concerned with hiding her yawns as Irma and her mother chatted about pack gossip."What kind of crazy new ideas?" George asked. Lucien rolled his eyes. "He's all about peace.""Peace?" Jeff asked. "Yes, peace. No wars between packs," Lucien said. Emma was dying to ask a question, to learn more, but she didn't want to draw the ridicule of the men.Packs often went to war over territory or some perceived encroachment on their own territory. Some packs were more aggres
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 18: The Brave Thing
Tonight was the night. Emma was going to wear the green dress. This was a test and maybe that wasn't fair, but she needed to know for sure before she upended her life. She needed to know if Lucien felt anything for her. Even if it was only physical attraction, it would tell her a lot. About him especially, but it would also make her path clear. She got ready in the bathroom while Lucien flipped through channels on the television. He was already in his tuxedo for the extravagant feast that evening. She just had to tie his bowtie for him. After she made herself look good. Not just good, sexy, and amazing. She'd washed her hair, dried it, and then put it into an updo. The style had looked easier on the video, but when she was done, Emma smiled at the results. Her eyes sparkled in the mirror. Time for the dress. It was green and floor-length and off one shoulder revealing creamy skin. Her earrings dangled almost to her shoulders and her kitten heels gave her another inch or so of hei
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 19: Their Perfect Marriage
Emma's heart raced. Her hand unclenched from Dex's shirt one finger at a time. His lips on her felt as right as breathing. She shook herself. Would Lucien notice her swollen lips? She'd wanted to explore what had happened between her and Dex, but Brutus wasn't leaving until she entered the banquet hall. Darn."This isn't done," she said to Dex.He didn't move. Brutus stepped aside to let her in. "You should leave him alone. Especially with your Alpha so close at hand and looking for you.""Stay out of this Brutus.""I was there to pick up the pieces last time Emma."She studied him but had no response. She'd broken Dex's heart and she had no right to expect a second chance, but darn it, she wanted one. When she entered the room, Lucien stood at the bar and a few couples surrounded him. What was he up to and why did it involve her?She trudged over to where he stood. He looked up a rare smile on his face. "Here's my bride."What? He held out his arm and motioned her over to him. Knowin
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 20: This Is Hypocritical
Dex couldn't stay and watch the spectacle any longer. Emma had kissed him and now she was extolling the virtues of arranged marriages? He couldn't stand it, so he stormed out of the banquet hall. He left behind the lies that Emma had chosen to be a part of and the crowd that was eating them with a spoon. Once again, he'd been a fool. The outside air didn't cool his anger. He needed a long walk. What he should do is shift and let his wolf run it off. He couldn't imagine that Emma wanted to stay with Lucien with the way he treated her, but he couldn't say what was in her heart. When they should have been talking, they were kissing. He jammed a hand into his hair and let out a groan. Emma was messing with his head and he was letting her. "What was I thinking?"He'd been thinking that Emma had felt right in his arms. That Emma was his. He'd been mistaken. He put a hand to his lips remembering her taste. She'd been soft and warm and just the way a she-wolf should be. Looking up, he real
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 21: Back At It
The next morning Lucien was up before Emma. She was happy to have a moment to herself.; there were plans to be made. A knock on her door startled her out of her thoughts. When she opened the door Dex stood there a smile on his face. "Come here.""Is Lucien gone?""He left fifteen minutes ago," Dex said. "Then come in.Dex shook his head. "No. He'll smell me in your room. Come to mine.""I'm in my pajamas.""Five minutes Emma. Just five minutes, then you can go on with your day."She looked around, but since there was no one else staying in the house and Lucien was long gone, she nodded. "Okay, Dex."She followed him to his room. It was just like hers with a table and a bed, but the view was better; Dex's room looked out onto the woods.Dex stood by the door while Emma looked around his room. Clothing was strewn on a chair. "I see you're still as neat as you once were."He chuckled. "My house is better, but not by much." He rubbed a hand over his face. "If we have limited time togethe
