Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 50: Wedding Day
Their day dawned clear and sunny and Emma was sorry that the wedding wouldn't be outside. Dex had said that no one could find Lucien and she'd agreed to have the event at the Grand Hall. It was easier to keep her safe. She hadn't been sick since that one morning and other than naps here and there she'd been able, with Leyton's help, to pull everything together for the wedding."It's the day, Emma," Dex said from the doorway.He held a tray of food in his hands. "Yes, it is. Is that for me?""Yes. Eat up. Leyton is on her way.""She's going to kick you out," Emma said. He put the tray on her lap balancing the heaping plates of food precariously. She hoped the butterflies in her stomach would let her eat. "She can do that today."Emma laughed. "My Alpha doesn't get to be an Alpha today.""It's our day, but I want to make it the best for you, Emma."She put a hand on his face, her heart full to bursting with love for Dex. If she hadn't gotten the courage to go for what she wanted in li
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 1: You!
Emma stepped out of the bathroom and into the bedroom she shared with her husband. She braced herself because she'd heard him come in and wondered what he would find out of place today. She did her best to keep everything as he liked and that was a full-time job. "Emma," he bellowed.She shuddered but pasted on a smile. "Lucien? Do you have to yell?""When my woman doesn't have dinner on the table right away, then yes I do."She entered the kitchen where dinner was ready to serve and looked him up and down. "You don't even have your coat off. Or your shoes.""I work hard to keep this roof over our heads. If I want to keep my shoes on I will."It had been a discussion for all five years of their marriage. If he took off his shoes, the house would stay cleaner. He'd never listened to Emma and she had to sweep the floor every day. He shrugged off his coat, hanging it on a hook by the door. He flopped into his chair and picked up his silverware, looking pointedly at Emma. "Don't just st
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 2: It's Been Awhile
Emma assumed that she'd been seeing things. Upset from seeing Lucien with a young woman, Emma didn't trust her eyes. It really was Dex. "Dex?" she called out.He walked with a group of wolves then stopped when she called his name. He said something to his posse and they walked on. Dex approached her cautiously, looking her over head to toe. "It is you," she said. "Emma."He looked at her as if she were the only woman in the alley. He had that way about him. She'd forgotten that. "Hi."His gaze didn't rest on her. Instead, it jumped around. Her heart hurt to see him. She didn't know what to say to him and they'd been lovers and best friends in the past."Hey." He shuffled his feet. "How are you?"That was a loaded question, but where she was now was not Dex's fault. "Uh, okay.""You don't sound so sure, Emma."She wasn't sure. Well, she was sure that her life was crap, but that wasn't Dex's concern. She smiled up at him. "It's good to see you.""Good to see you, too.""What's going o
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 3: Still Protective
Dex spun around and Emma wished the earth would swallow her up. Lucien hung on a young woman, but his red eyes glared at Dex. A crowd had gathered, including the two dozen members of what Emma assumed were Dex's pack. She didn't recognize any of them and she knew all of the inhabitants of Fang City, ifonly by sight.Lucien turned his gaze to Emma. "You should be home."She dug her nails into her palms. She wouldn't say anything about the woman staring at her defiantly. She was just one of many. In some ways, Emma felt sorry for her. "I was looking for you," Dex said. "I'm the new Alpha of Wolf Woods."Lucien eyed him. "That doesn't mean you can talk to my wife."His wife. His Luna. He chose this moment to make that distinction? He didn't let her be part of the community, but in front of the pack, he wanted to claim her. Lucky her. "She was giving me some ideas where you might be.""My Luna doesn't always know where I am," Lucien said. Emma flinched. She glanced at the door to the b
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 4: Lost In Time
Emma woke the next day having dreamed about Dex. Guilt raced through her as if she'd actually cheated on Lucien.Emma was old-fashioned. If you were married, you were married. Then she remembered the woman he hung onto last night, right in front of her. If he didn't respect their vows, then why should she? When Lucien had stumbled in last night, waking her as he hopped into bed, he smelled like another woman. She swallowed her tears. He'd humiliated her last night on purpose. Dex would never have done anything like that. She suspected that as an Alpha his pack was his first concern and he would confide in his Luna. He'd share with his Luna because she was the only wolf in the pack that he could let his guard down with. Lucien treated her as an obligation.She sighed and rose to make breakfast. There were pack members that Lucien would have to attend to. Lucien didn't want her help or support. He wanted her to be his punching bag, even if he'd never raised a hand to her. She put st
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 5: On The Way
She put on her seatbelt as Lucien started the vehicle. He pulled out of their garage and headed in the direction of the resort where they would stay. The day had dawned gray, but that couldn't dampen Emma's spirits. This council was the most exciting thing she'd done in a while. Getting out of the house made her happy and Lucien would have to be on his best behavior in front of the other Alphas. She doubted he'd hit on anyone else's wife and that would spare her some embarrassment.Not wanting to spoil the moment, Emma remained quiet. She was just going to take it all in and enjoy herself. There would be activities for the Lunas while the Alphas met. Lucien cleared his throat. "Emma.""Yes.""I want to make clear what I expect of you during this trip."As much as she knew he'd change his mind at one point, she nodded. "Okay.""You are there only because everyone else is bringing their wives.I would look odd if I didn't bring you along. That doesn't mean I want you visible."Emma's m
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 6: Their Arrival
Emma felt the electricity of the event as soon as they climbed out of the truck. Lucien parked the truck in front of the resort and was inside checking them in. Emma took in the sunshine and the people milling about. Old friends greeted each other, introducing them to new friends. Lunas hugged Lunas. The party atmosphere had already started. How much of this would Lucien let her indulge in? She didn't know, so she stood outside the truck absorbing it all. The warmth of old friends permeated her and she had a smile on her face when Lucien exited the hotel lobby. He didn't seem to notice because he didn't comment on it."Hey, Lucien."A graying Alpha approached him, who smiled a rare smile at the man. "Rogan. How the hell are you?"They clasped hands than did the one-armed bro-hug that men liked to do. Emma's smile broadened. Even Lucien had old friends here. She refused to be sad that she didn't. She'd chosen this way of life and many of her former friends had left her behind. One wo
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 7: Settling In
Emma's heart clenched. They were sharing a cottage, a large house, really, with Dex. She paused. Could she do this? "Come on. Let's unpack," Lucien said, oblivious to the turmoil she was experiencing.She'd never told him about Dex and she was glad she hadn't. There were no late-night soul-baring talks in their early marriage. Lucien didn't seem to care about Emma's past. She didn't know who he dated before marrying her either. She'd never thought about how odd that was until now. She climbed out and followed Lucien to the back of the truck, keeping her gaze off of Dex's vehicle. The scent of him called to her. Or maybe it mocked her. The universe reminding her what might have been if she'd been a stronger person. Lucien handed her a suitcase. She took it then followed him into the house. "This has a kitchen," Lucien said. "We don't need to eat breakfast with everyone else.""Are there supplies?" she asked."That's your job."She would check it later. "Why don't you want to eat wi
