"You’re running from monsters you don’t understand, Emma. But what happens when you realize the biggest one is staring at you in the mirror?" Kael’s voice was low, dangerous. “You don’t belong in their world—or mine.” Emma is a human journalist with an unrelenting curiosity, determined to uncover the truth behind a string of bizarre animal attacks plaguing her small town. But her investigation leads her into a hidden world where creatures of the night rule, and nothing is as it seems. A deadly encounter changes her life forever, thrusting her into the arms of Kael, a brooding Alpha wolf with secrets of his own. As Emma’s world unravels, she must navigate dangerous alliances, forbidden love, and a revelation about herself that could alter the balance of power between vampires and werewolves forever. Some truths are worth risking everything for. Even your humanity.
View MoreEmma.The vengeful wench had my baby. Selene stood on the porch, cradling a small bundle in her arms. My heart stopped at the sight. I knew without question what, or more accurately who, she was holding. “Hello, rejected Luna,” she sneered. Rejected Luna. That's what I was. I was the woman who she believed she was better than. I was the one Kael threw away just to be with her. I was the ruined queen. The whore. I clenched my fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms. Derek stepped forward, placing his body like a wall of protection between me and Selena, but I pushed past him. I was done hiding behind anyone. “Give me my daughter,” I sneered, my voice was cold. Just as my heart was. Selena laughed mockingly. Her voice was a cruel sound that made my blood boil. “Your daughter? Oh, Emma, you’re as delusional as ever. Do you honestly think you deserve her? A child born of betrayal and weakness?” Derek growled, stepping closer, but I raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t,” I
Emma.Derek and I moved at once. If Kael was gone, then we didn't have time. Derek ordered the driver to speed up as we drove toward the Crescent Moon pack. Every bump and jolt of the van only made the dread sink deeper into my bones. My hands trembled, clutching the edge of the seat as if it could anchor me to some sense of stability. “She’s alive,” I whispered to myself, my voice trembling as I tried to force the words into reality. “Violet is alive.” Barbara, seated across from me, kept her gaze low, I couid see the guilt etched into every line of her face. Derek sat beside me, his hands rubbed on mine, his warmth provided a small comfort against the storm raging inside me. “Don’t let them see you afraid,” he said softly, his voice was firm yet soothing. And I knew he was right. I nodded, swallowing hard. Fear couldn’t save my daughter. But it gripped me all the same, making me feel helpless. What could I do? How had my life become so complicated? Violet had just come in
Emma.My mother stood before me. My foster mother. I hadn't seen her in many years and now here she stood, staring at me. A woman that had turned my life upside down. The source of my joy and yet the bane of my existence. I was broken at the sight of her. Somehow, time seemed to pass very quickly. It seemed like it was just yesterday when she last saw Barbara and Alec. All together, as a family. “Mother," I breathed. But my voice broke. She couldn't say anything without feeling the pain, the tears, the anger, the rage. "Please, let me help you.” Barbara said. “Where have you been?" The words slipped out of my lips before I could stop them. Barbara's eyes teared up and she looked at me. She moved closer and I stepped back, holding my hands out. “Do not touch me." "Emma, please, I'm sorry.” But what apology could ever fix what she'd broken. She has taken all I ever had. She'd killed our family with her lies. She'd pretended to be human and with that, she'd carved a delusional ho
Emma.Shock. That was what I felt. A bone crushing, soul numbing shock that left me punching my own skin to be sure that I was still alive. Brother?! “You're no use to anyone alive!" Derek spat in rage. Derek was his brother? Kael was still tied up on the chair. His slightly wet and tousled hair was right in his face. His jawline and sharp chin stood out strangely. Like I had somehow broken something while beating him up. Then I turned to look again at Derek. He looked nothing like Kael. Both had two different shades of hair. A deep blonde and jade respectively. And while Kael had deep black eyes, Derek had ocean green eyes that she could get lost in. He reminded her so much of Roger that sometimes, staring at him hurt. But beyond the difference, she could see the chin, the jaw, the bridge of their nose. The size of their palms. It was all so different and yet so familiar. Like they could somehow be seen in each other. Bits and pieces. “Yet there I am. Alive and even our prett
Emma.My limbs were shaking. I could feel everything around me. The wind in my face, the pulse beating wildly, the sound of the guard who was tapping his foot nervously against the stone floor. Everything was heightened. The pain on my left wrist, the ringing in my ear, the slight numbness of my left thumb. It was all so vivid. For a second, I couldn't help but wonder if I was losing my mind. “Emma?" I heard Derek call out to me. I jumped slightly at the proximity. Despite how much I felt, how closely I heard each sound, he still managed to sneak up on me. “Hey," I replied with a soft sigh and leaned back on the chair. We were in a secluded house in the town. I'd lived in the small mountain town for many years but I was a stranger to the cabin in the woods. Derek and his men seemed to know exactly where to go and they stopped right at the cabin and led us all in. Kael was still unconscious and he'd been tied up in a chair in the far corner of the room. Two guards stood by his sid
Derek.Emma was a hybrid. She was awakened. Her body was nothing like a human girl. Gone was the soft feminine build and her silky blonde hair. In its place was a furry beast standing on both legs with arms the size of his own thighs and feet twice as large. For a second, I couldn't believe my own eyes. She was different. She had changed and she was an object of nightmares. I watched her tear into the werewolves that tried to hold her down for the wolf at the entrance to take over. But Emma was stronger. She held them with her powerful arms and shoved them away, hurting them fiercely on the floor and dismantling their forces. “Kill!" She yelled again. That was all she seemed able to say. Kill. The single word seemed to raise some sort of strength and anger within her. She was furious. She was dangerous and as she said those words, her power seemed unmatchable. “Emma!" I called out as I noticed that she was winning against the alpha wolf. Without turning back to me, she threw
Emma.I couldn't feel anything around me but death. The blood. It called out to me. My nose caught every stench. Every single smell. But what called out to me was the blood. The crimson stains on the snow. I could see them. I could smell them. I could almost feel my body moving towards them. I wasn't myself. I couldn't feel my own legs. It was like a strange being was inhabiting my body and my mind receded to the edges. “Emma?" A voice called out behind me and I turned to see Antonia. The vampire was a little weary as she moved forward. Inside my head, I knew that she wasn't a foe but somehow, I couldn't keep my feet from moving towards her in rage. I tried to scream but all that came out was a hoarse growl of rage. My hands shook and my legs stomped the snow as I raced to her. In a blur, I was right in her face. I could see the shock in her eyes at my speed. But just before I could sink my hands into her neck, rip out her throat like I wanted to, I heard another voice call o
Emma.My bags were packed and I was ready to leave. I threw the small duffel bag into the backseat and climbed in. Antonia stood at the porch with a smirk on her face. She was practically shaking with excitement at the thought of doing off to fight Kael. I wondered if she knew what she was signing up for. Kael was a very strong alpha and he had a powerful wolf. I had never seen anyone defeat him Ina fight. But I knew I couldn't just sit still and wish. I had to do something to take my child back. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her and I didn't at least try to help. “Antonia is used to war. She was a soldier before Kael sired her.” I looked back at the lady on the porch again and for a brief second, I could see the sadness in her eyes. She had a story and possibly one as tragic as mine. “She mustn't come, I don't need anyone to fight my war," I said pointedly. Derek seemed amused at my bravado. “Of course you don't. But we know werewolves more than you do.
Emma.I felt the tears drop down my eyes before I could stop them. Daniella was a traitor. She'd betrayed me. Betrayed my trust. Given Cathy up to be taken and also given my child to a psychotic man that had done nothing but hate me from the moment I stepped into the Coastal Moon pack. Cathy had been right. Daniella was too perfect. She was too nosey. she'd wormed her way into my heart and now she'd crushed it with a single blow. “Madrid took my child," I said, my voice was cold and almost unrecognizable to my own ears. "He made me do it, I swear! I didn't know,” Daniella argued and wept on the floor. But all I heard was the same voice that had told me my baby was gone. "You took her, you took my baby to a mad man and watched him take her away.” It wasn't a question. It was a statement and it hurt like hell. Daniella shook her head, she was weeping but I couldn't believe her remorse. There was no way she was remorseful. Antonia had exposed her lies. She was never going to say i
Emma.I slammed the stack of pictures down on the editor's desk, my voice trembling as I spoke. "Another attack, Mr. Karl. Another one just last night. You can't keep ignoring this." Karl barely glanced up from his computer, adjusting his glasses in that slow, deliberate way that always made me irritated. “Emma,” he sighed, leaning back in his chair like he had all the time in the world, “what people want to read isn’t wild animals running through the woods. They want celebrity gossip, local scandals, you know, stuff that sells.” I crossed my arms, trying to keep my voice steady. “People are dying, Mr. Karl. I’m talking about lives here, not some silly drama about who cheated on who." "You'll watch your tone, miss Emma.” his voice rose a notch and I stepped back. Mr. Karl sighed, tapped his pen against his notepad, his eyes locking onto mine with what looked like sympathy. “Emma, you’re good at what you do, but I’m running a business. People eat up the gossip like candy, but they...
