LOGINEmma’s pov
I turned around and put some distance between us. “Be mine Emma, all you have to do is just warm my bed,” he said with a smirk. “I can only imagine it, your body under, mine as I show you all the pleasures of the world,” he added. “Thank you Beta Justin, unfortunately, I am nothing but a lowly omega. Someone like me doesn’t even deserve being in the same room as you, let alone doing all the things you mentioned,” I said. I turned to leave when he grabbed my hand. I could feel his claws digging on my flesh as he made me look at him. “You think you are so smart, don’t you? That your veiled insults are not understood,” he said and pushed me. I landed on my feet, “you are nothing but a lowly omega,” he said. I found myself smiling, and yet he wanted this lowly omega to warm his bed. When I didn’t say anything he looked at me. “You are really creepy, aren’t you? You never react, you are nothing but a robot,” he said. I didn’t answer or react which probably made him even more angry. Before I knew it he slapped me across the face, and I almost fell down. “React,” he said, and I chuckled before looking at him. “You want me to react Beta? Then I will, the only reaction you will ever get from me is that of disgust. You disgust me, you are a vile and cruel man,” I said. I watched as his face changed completely to that of a monster and the rest is history. When he was happy with beating me up he left the room. I cleaned up my blood, I held in my tears as I was cleaning. I went straight to my room and closed the door when I got in. I sat in a corner and started tending to my own wounds. When I was done I decided to go and check on Rachel. I found her sobbing, “this isn’t life Emma, why are we even tolerating such treatment. I would rather die,” she said. “You have been here for 5 years. How can you live with these people?” she asked me. “Because I don’t want to die here,” I answered, and she looked at me confused. “You see, my parents and I were headed to a certain place before they were killed. My dad called it The Utopia for supernatural beings,” I said, and Rachel frowned. “What is a Utopia?” she asked me, and I smiled. You see Rachel didn’t get any education and doesn’t really know how to read and write. Even her vocabulary is slightly limited. “It’s a place where everything is perfect,” I answered her, and she smiled. “Alicia and I are planning on going there someday. You can join us, in this city all the supernatural beings exist together in harmony,” I explained to her. “Does such a place really exist?” she asked me, and I nodded. “Even another friend told me about it. I have even heard the monsters talking about it,” I said, and she smiled. We call the high rank werewolves monsters; they are in every sense of the word monsters. “I want to go with you,” she said, and I smiled. I keep my head down, I take it all without saying a single word because I want to live. More than anything, I want to be alive and to be free. After all that, I went to the kitchen and grabbed some food. Mama Joyce walked in and looked at me head to toe. “Is he still bothering you?” she asked me, and I nodded. “But the good thing is, all he does is talk,” I said. She frowned as she looked at me. “What happens when he doesn’t talk anymore? What happens when he tries to force himself on you? Will you fight him?” she asked me. I looked at her and all the tears I have always held in fell. “I don’t know. If I fight him, then I know that they will kill me,” I said, and she frowned. “If you don’t then you will die inside,” she said and then hugged me when I started sobbing. “I want to live but I also want to be alive,” I said, and she just held me. “I know child, I know that more than anyone,” she said and then looked at me with a smile. “Fight, if he stops talking then I want you to fight no matter what,” she said, and I nodded. “I will fight, I promise that I will fight no matter,” I said, and she smiled. “I really like you; they haven’t killed your spirit and your light. Don’t let them take that too,” she said and then walked off. I looked at the peanut butter and jam sandwich I was eating. Ever since I have been in this place everything tastes like sand in my mouth. I eat because I have to, I eat because if I don’t then I will die. And I have said It so many times, but I will say it again as a reminder. I want to live; I want to be alive and free. Life as a rouge and life in this place can’t be the only things that I know. I went to bed and woke up early the next morning to do what I did the day before. I made breakfast, knocked on every door, and called everyone down for breakfast. I got their kids ready for school once again. The Beta and Ashley have about 3 kids, while the Alpha and Luna have only two. I went back downstairs and stood in my corner as they were eating. I frowned when I heard two annoying voices. The Alpha’s sisters are twins and probably the most ruthless. Actually, I have lost count when it comes to deciding who is more ruthless. “Hey rouge, get us our plates,” they said as they sat down all tanned. They went away for the holidays; I wish I was able to do that. To go and lie down on a beach somewhere with water near me. Where I grew up, there was a lake nearby and I have always loved water because of that. I got them the plates and then went back to my corner. “Justin, why do you keep staring at the maid? Did she do something?” Julia, one of the twins asked. The Beta looked at me as if he was thinking if I should get into trouble or not. “No,” he simply answered, and no one dared to ask him why he was staring at me then. Ashley looked at me, she always seemed so apologetic every time she looked at me. Evening came and as I was cleaning up Ashley came to me this time. She had a glass of juice in her hands as she looked at me. “A peace offering,” she said, and I looked at her confused. “Please ma’am, don’t do this. It’s only making me uncomfortable,” I said, and she shook her head. “Please let me, this is all I can do. My husband has been harassing you non stop, I wish I had the power to stop him,” she said, and I nodded. I have been walking around all day and I honestly need something cold. I took the glass and smiled as I gulped it up in one go. “Thank you, let me finish my work now,” I said and then started working again. But my hands started feeling numb for some reason and I couldn’t stand anymore. I turned around and found Ashley standing there looking at me. “I am sorry, it’s you or me. I have had enough of him, someone else should suffer his abuse,” she said and then came to my side. I tried to push her away, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t even talk as she started helping me go to her room. I knew it, whatever her husband had planned for me cannot be good. I have to somehow gather all my strength and get the hell out of here. We got to their room, and she threw me on the bed before turning around to leave. My tears and silent cries didn’t even move her heart one bit. Justin came and stood in front of me already naked. He had this smirk on his face as he looked at me. “I always get what I want little Emma,” he said, and I looked at him. That’s when Joyce’s words came to my mind, and I knew then and there that I had to fight. I don’t know where all that strength came from or how I even managed it. The next thing I knew he was hitting the wall and I quickly got on my feet. I couldn’t move properly but I didn’t care at all. If I can’t run then I will walk. if I can’t then I would rather crawl than stay in this room for another second. The door wasn’t even locked. I tried running and I could hear him coming behind me. He was now wearing his robe. I slipped and all I could feel was pain as I fell down the stairs. I could see people coming out of their rooms to see what was going on. “What the hell? How dare you try to seduce?” Justin shouted as he stood on top of the stairs. I looked at him, oh I am so sick and tired of this place. I am sick and tired of these people, I seduced him? I would rather die than seduce a man like him. Do I really want to stay alive so badly to endure all this torture?Emma’s pov I tended to Addison's wounds, and she was doing much better. There is no news so far from anyone, and I have done the best I could. It’s been 5 days now since the war started, and I haven’t seen or spoken to Logan in those days. Partly because I didn’t want to distract him or anything like that. “I am sure that they are okay,” Addison said, and she also seemed really worried. Of course, she is worried; our friends and family are out there fighting. Suddenly, I sensed a crowd of people entering the pack territory. And it’s not the enemy, it’s actually Rowan and Logan. I got up on my feet, helped Addison up, and we went downstairs to wait for them. They are both alive, and I am so glad that they both made it. They immediately got out of the car, and Logan ran to me while Rowan went to Addison. “Are you okay? You seem pale. What the hell happened here?” Logan asked me, and I just shrugged. “The spell took a toll on me. It was more than I thought it would be,” I an
Emma’s pov“Don’t push yourself too much. You have hardly slept for the last few days, remember that you are pregnant,” Addison said, and I sighed. How can I relax when there is a war outside? Jess is with Grace and her child in a different room, and Addison is looking after me in this room. All I can do is use magic to make sure that the poison doesn’t work on them. In war and in times like this, we do what we can do. I continued chanting the spell, and Addison straightened instantly. She seemed to be on high alert, and I felt it too. It wasn’t magic, it was something even more sinister, and I know that feeling. I have only felt it when I was around someone, and I don’t like this. The feeling of being around a predator, it’s her, isn’t it? “She’s here,” Addison said quietly, and I watched as she got ready to fight. Her claws were out. My heart skipped, but I didn’t lift my hands from the spell circle.The doors at the end of the corridor were pushed open. Footsteps ec
Rowan’s PovI sat there and could hear his footsteps as he was walking towards me. He opened the doors, and I gave him a huge smile. “It seems like you were waiting for me,” he said and I smiled at this. “It seems that way. I knew you would come to me eventually; my father’s existence stressed you out. My existence stresses you out as well. Let’s not forget Emma; she is the reason you even allied with Lycans. I know how much you hate them, you even hate your own niece just because she is half witch,” I poked at him to see his reaction. My uncle.The so-called King.He looked older than I remembered, but not weaker. His blonde hair was streaked with silver, his posture relaxed as if what I said didn’t concern him. “Rowan, you have grown into such a fine young man,” he said smoothly. “How does your family do this? Your father left the throne to me, and yet people were still calling him King. Just like you, he created an empire of his own,” he said with a frown. “But there can only be
Logan’s PovWar, in my entire lifetime, I never thought that I would have to fight a war. I am a Lycan; we supernaturals are used to a few small discord here and there. We fight for survival almost every day of our lives. But an all out war is something I had hoped that I would never see in my entire life. I looked around, and then the air tasted like iron.And it is on this day that I learn that war always has a scent. The scent is thick, metallic, and also unforgiving. I stepped onto the battlefield and felt the ground hum beneath my boots. My pack members were mostly standing behind me. Although they were wounded, they were ready to take on anyone. All they wanted was my command.But this fight, this one was mine, and I don’t want anyone getting in the way.My uncle stood across the clearing, tall and unmoved. It’s been about 4 days and 4 nights of this, and we were all tired. He was standing there with no armor or a shirt. His body was covered in wounds that are now slowly
Rowan’s pov I can’t believe that I have found my mate at a time like this. I have found my mate just as we are about to go to war. I watched as Emma walked off with her mate to show him around the house. I never thought I would see the day my little sister becomes a mother. I just always thought that she would always remain the kind and innocent Emma. She is still kind, but you can tell that everything she has been through has stripped away her innocence. She is no longer the little girl who believes in rainbows and sunlight. She has seen the darkness of the world and that of the people. I wish that she hadn’t, because the fact that she had means that I have failed as her brother. I also decided to walk to my bedroom, and I found it clean and left it as it was. “Wow, very little deco. It’s a good thing there is a plant,” a voice behind me said. “My mom placed that, she said that it would help us sleep,” I explained, and the door behind me closed. I turned around to look a
Emma’s pov “You don’t have to do this,” I said to Logan, who shook his head. “I want to drive you there myself. I need to know that you are completely safe,” he insisted, and I sighed at this. Addison, Grace, and Jess were also with us in the car. We will be meeting my brother in our old home, and that is where we will be staying. My terrible uncle thinks that he destroyed my family completely. So he won’t think of going to my childhood home in times like that. That because, if anything like this happened, my home would be the first place he would look. And because of that, he will think that it is also the last place for us to hide. The obvious places are sometimes the best spots to hide in. That is what we learned as kids when we were playing hide and seek. Logan was driving but still refused to let go of my hand, and I don’t think that I can blame him. Everything, all of it, feels like the calmness before the storm, and I don’t like it. I found myself drifting off to s
