FOUR

EMMA.

An empress wasn't supposed to be attracted to any man. An empress was simply meant to help the fantasies of a man come true.

But tell me why I was obsessed with Herth, my best friend’s father.

A man I was merely sent to serve and forget about.

I grabbed his face, hovering over him already on the couch while using one hand to remove his belt.

Every part of me wanted him, my pussy pulsating at the thought of his manhood inside of me.

At the moment, my senses were completely gone. The dangers of my action left my mind instantly.

I ground my waist on top of his lap, whimpering in pleasure. My lips melted in his, my tongue rolled in seamlessly.

He yanked the top off me, grabbing my waist as he began to push his hand into my pants. My body yearned for him more than ever, and my pussy pulsated with the need to have him inside of me.

But just then, my phone began to ring making me pull back in fear. I looked over at the screen in a hurry. My heart skipped in my chest when I saw Richard.

Shit!

Shit!

I sprang back instantly. Herth eyes furrowed probably wondering why I had stepped away from him like his skin burned me.

“Leave. You have to leave right now!” I avoid his face, grabbing my phone shakily to text Richard back. He had called me and I was supposed to pick up immediately. Delay and I would get in massive trouble.

“Leave? Were you not just as hungry for me, Emma? Is it because of Sophia… I can sort that out.” He tried touching me, stepping closer but I pushed his hands off.

“Get out right now, Alpha Herth. I don’t want to see you!” I spat fighting every urge in my body. I was on a thin line. Richard couldn’t find him here. I would be in trouble.

“I know about the doctor girl you like. Go and meet her and be with her. You are twice my age, and I am your daughter’s bestfriend, get out!”I stretched my hand to the door and instead, he stepped closer and grabbed my chin. Gently, he split my lips open and push his thumb in.

“My daughter’s bestfriend makes my fucking cock jerk and my wolf begs for her. You think I haven’t tried to ignore it. My mind is occupied by you for reasons unknown to me and you want me to get out? Then, get out of my mind first!” He growled, his wolf fighting for control.

Damien didn’t tell him who I was. Our meeting was orchestrated by him and the attraction had merely formed because I was an empress which he was oblivious of. All these was fake, nothing he was feeling right now was real and that sort of broke my heart.

He slipped his thumb further into my throat, grabbing my neck with his other hand. His green eyes pierced into my very soul and I felt drawn even more by him. This shouldn’t be happening. Empresses have no wolf and we are destined not have a mate hence we couldn't be attracted to anyone, not in this manner.

Yet, all I could ever think of right now was marking him. Making him mine and baring my soul and body to him.”Herth…”

“And I know you want me too.” His hoarse voice boomed through me like a truth that was fighting to be set free.

“I want you. I want to marry you. I will make you my wife. My Luna, you will be. Your name will be encrusted into the gate of our pack.” His breath in my face, making me forget who I truly was for a second.

An empress was meant to serve. That was my identity.

I couldn’t be Luna, I would sleep with every men in his pack… make them yearn for me over and over, their wolves would fight for dominance like he was doing right now. Someone like me was only meant to satisfy a man’s desire… nothing more.

“Why would you want me to be your Luna when you like the female doctor.” I spat, my heart pounding hard in my chest because I was saying the opposite of what I should.

“There is no female doctor, Emma. She delivers drugs that keeps me active because my wolf refuses to let us touch another woman after the death of my mate. Those drugs keep me from reclining. If you follow me now, I will not need any drug again and there will be no need for the doctor. Come with me, lets build an empire together.” He grabbed my hand, carressing my palm like a man confessing to his lover and for a second, it felt like my life was about to change and I could truly give in and be happy.

“Herth, get out of my house!” I growled refusing to be swayed by a life I could never have.

“No. I will not leave. I will stay… I want you so I will fucking stay and claim you.” He grabbed my hands and pinned them behind me with one hand. with his other hand, he raised my chin, our gaze locking.

“I will stay. I am the Alpha of this pack, the dark moon’s pack king. Whatever I want I get. You will learn to love me and every other person will learn to accomodate you. You are mine!” He growled in my face, every hair on my body standing on its end. Those gorgeous green eyes glinted with red and I could see his wolf was fighting to take control too.

Why the hell was he more obssessed than any man I had ever met?

This was a burden. One that I was trying hard to avoid.

“If you avoid me or chase me away, I will make sure I turn everything against you and your brother, Richard. I have every power to make sure you are mine and mine alone. You will choose me, Emma because there is no better choice. I will make sure I am all you can run to in the world.” He tightened his grip around my wrist, and he continued.

“I will create problems only I can solve for you!”

No, Herth.

Don’t do this.

Don’t add to my problems.

Damien already wants me to ruin you. Richard wouldn't let me be with you. Jeremy was stuck in the hospital sick.

Please.
