LOGINEmma’s pov
“She did what?” Julianna asked. I could tell that she was already fuming at the thought of me “seducing” Justin. She is his mistress, that’s if you even want to call it that really. His wife knows and like I said she is just as hopeless as us. But I still can’t believe that she betrayed my trust like that. I saw it in her eyes, she didn’t care what would happen to me. My eyes landed around the place, and everyone was looking at me with disgust in their eyes. “Yes, she tried to seduce and came to my room,” Justin said, and I looked at his wife. She was looking down; I could deny everything but what’s the point. “You bitch, we gave you shelter and now you try to do this? Do you think that you are at our level. How dare you try to seduce the beta on this pack?” Jennifer asked me. I looked at her and then at everyone before smiling. They have always seen how Justin behaves around me. He has always been inappropriate with his words and actions. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Alpha Hendricks asked. “What is there to say? It doesn’t matter what I say does it? I will still be blamed for something I didn’t do,” I said and closed my eyes. I am in pain; I don’t know what he did, but it weakened my wolf, and I am not healing well. “I think we have been nice to her, she would get a severe punishment for this sin,” Julia said. Everyone around the room nodded and I just looked down. “How about you go outside the pack territory, if you want to be fucked so badly then we should let you,” Julianna suggested. “That’s actually perfect, all those rouges will have the time of their life with her,” her twin Julia added with a smirk. The thought of me suffering and being in pain gives them pleasure from the looks of it. “Unless she apologizes,” Justin said and then walked down the stairs and looked down at me. “Apologize, I want you to apologize for being a disgusting person and trying to seduce me. Apologize for being a hoe,” he said, and I looked up at him. They have taken everything away from me. And this man, I know that he will try to do something again after this. I want to live I do, but at the same time, I really want to die. And in this very moment, I would welcome death with open arms. “I accept my punishment; how long should I be out of the pack territory?” I asked looking at them. I could see that they expected me to apologize. The usual punishment is one hour out of the pack territory and that’s it. Sometimes two hours if you are unlucky but most people make it out alive. They can stay next to the pack territory, where most rouges avoid this side. “Look at her Luna, she is cocky and won’t even apologize. I have an idea, let’s make it the whole night,” Julianna said. “What? The whole night? She won’t survive out there, she might be a bitch, but she is still very competent,” Jennifer said. “And the kids love her, if she dies what will happen to them?” Ashley asked. “Okay then, I will stay there the whole night,” I said and got up. I dusted off the fake dust before looking up at everyone. “I will stay out of the pack the whole night,” I said with my head held high. I don’t know why I am so confident because they weakened my wolf. If a rouge shows up then chances are they might kill me. There is no way I will be able to defend myself in the state I am in. I don’t even know how I got away from Justin, but I know luck doesn’t come twice. “You are eager, aren’t you? Looking forward to getting fucked by rouges? You were one so I would be surprised but let’s sweeten the deal,” Justin said. I could tell that if there weren’t any other people in the room he would have killed me. “Let’s take her away from our pack border and closer to the Lycans order,” he said. The room went silent, and everyone was looking at each other. At our pack border then I might just come back alive and well. But outside the Lycans pack border then I will surely be killed within minutes. “Justin, that is a little too extreme, if we do that then she will die for sure,” Julia said. “Then let her, if she makes it alive then she won’t repeat her mistake,” Julianna answered her twin. “What is it Alpha?” Justin asked and I watched as Alpha Hendricks nodded. Sometimes I wonder who the actual Alpha is because Justin does as he pleases. “Well then, you and your wife can drive her there,” Alpha said and walked back to his room. “Let’s go,” Justin said as he was dragging me to his car and Ashley followed behind him. He pushed me into the car and Daisy also got in and I sat in the back. “You still have time you know, apologize and come back with me to my room,” Justin said. I didn’t answer and just looked out and watched the sky. It was a full moon, wolves, foxes and Lycans will be running around tonight. “No thank you Beta,” I answered, and he suddenly stopped the car. He got out and opened the door and dragged me out as well. “You are so eager to be fucked by rouges huh? Is it because you are one of them?” he asked me. I didn’t answer. “Justin please stop it, my plan didn’t work. You can find another girl,” Ashley said. I looked at her, I thought that she was hopeless, but I was wrong. “I want her, it’s her that I want,” Justin said staring at me. His eyes were beginning to change colour. “I want her,” he said sniffing my scent. “Let me save you if you are with me then you will never lack. I will give you all the luxuries of the world,” he said and tried to touch my face. I moved away, “I would rather die,” I said, and he nodded. “Well, your wish is my command,” he said and got into the car. I watched as he drove away and the moment he was gone I could feel it. All eyes were on me, I looked around to see what was happening. “Well, you must be here for us then,” a voice said, and I turned to find about 5 rouges walking towards me. I should just die; I should die here and now actually. I don’t think I can live a life like this. It doesn’t matter which life I choose; they both lead to a miserable life. Being a rouge is far worse than being in Alpha Hendrick’s pack. And on the other hand, that pack is also hell as well. I guess it is true what they say, in life we choose a level of discomfort we can handle and then call it happiness. I closed my eyes; my family was my only source of happiness. Now with them gone I have nothing to live for. Today I am okay with dying here, anyways the person I wanted to go to Utopia with Is dead. Our Utopia will be after death. That’s when I remembered the promise I made my parents before they took their last breath. I told them that I would find my brother and we would be reunited. My brother wasn’t so weak, so he could still be alive. I have to live for him no matter what. I took out the knife that I was hiding in my clothes and got ready to fight. “Look at that, a feisty red head, you look really cute with those freckles,” one of them said. “Plus, your green eyes in the moon light, I can’t wait to stare into them as I take you,” the other said and they started laughing like villains. I can’t believe that the world is full of men like this. Men who view women only as objects to fulfil their lust and desire. Men who would force themselves on women. Men used to be viewed as protectors, they were saviours and gentleman who treated women like Queens. But the only men left in this world are nothing but goons and monsters. “Touch one hair on her head, and I will kill you,” a voice suddenly said. I followed the direction in which the voice was coming from. “Or what?” the other rouge asked, and he was dropping dead in a second. “Or that,” the man answered as he walked towards us. His aura, this man’s aura was gentle and somewhat calm. His aura resembled that of the moon, I don’t even know how to describe it. “Are you okay ma’am?” he asked me as he walked towards me. Is he my saviour?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
