EMILY'S POV
As he turned walking towards his car, all of a sudden he stopped and faced me again. No expression on his face. I looked at him with keen eyes wondering what his answer might be and got scared thinking that he might say no since he’d been rather quiet.“You think I would say no when a beautiful lady is inviting me out?" I almost jumped on him, hearing his answer but I held myself back and smiled at him instead."Really? Then I think we should go now before the sun starts setting," I said and the man looked at me confused but he did not ask any questions.I planned to have a date with the man and have him drop me home so that people could see the handsome man I snatched for myself. I knew before daybreak, the news would have reached that jerk and he would know I have better options than him.The plan might sound cheap but that is what I wanted for myself...I do not want to be looked down on, any longer so I was going to define my importance."But if you are going out with me, the bills will be on you due to damage done to my car and you will have to change your dress. I would not want it to look like I hijacked someone's bride," he says and I nod my head agreeing with him.The damage to the car is minor, so we can still use it to move around. I dropped by a boutique to get a dress and I changed into it before we drove to a restaurant downtown.The sun was already setting when we got to the restaurant and I was surprised to find the restaurant empty when we entered it."Did we come to a restaurant that is closing down soon?" I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. I noticed that it was his habit when he didn't want to answer questions.I waited for the waiter to ask for our order so we could get it so that I could carry out my plan of flaunting him around that night after we finish eating."Don't you think they are slow... Why haven't they come for... " I was saying but my words got cut off when I saw the waiters pushing a food cart towards us."What is this? Did you order this already? I thought you said I'd be paying." I asked and he shook his head. “Don't worry, you'll pay some other time.”I started to get suspicious of the man's identity. It might be my mistake to think of him as an ordinary man but what if his identity is not ordinary? I heard that the driver shouted ‘Alpha Lucien’ before he ran away, does it mean, he is an Alpha?The waiters served the food and I feast my eyes on the dishes on the table and my stomach grumbled loudly."I am sorry, I didn't mean that.." I say but he shakes his head."Let's eat," he said, placing food in my front and I bowed gently."I guess your groom is a jerk, right?" He asked and I chuckled hearing that as I placed food in my mouth."Yes, he is a crazy disgusting jerk…" I fumed, I got carried away with the bitterness in my heart before I realized, I trailed off seeing that I had just fallen into the man's trap and I raised my head to see him smirking at me."You tricked me!" I yelled, giving him an angry face and he snarled hearing my accusing voice."Cheers to that!" He said raising his wine glass and I smiled, also picking mine up and toasting for no reason."But don't you think your family would be worried to find you missing...I mean even though something did happen, running away isn't going to help," he said and I shrugged my shoulders.I found the man easy to talk to and his presence calmed me down. Since I just clocked 18, and this was my first time tasting wine, I consumed a lot of it and if the man knew, maybe he would have talked me out of it."Who are you?" I asked, looking at the man with my face flushed and a crazy look in my eye." Are you drunk already?" I heard the man ask in an amused voice and I hissed."Oh, you drank the whole bottle," he said in realization but I decided to get closer to him since he suddenly seemed far away.I was already intoxicated with the wine, and it was messing with my senses but I still found myself leaving my seat and walking towards him."Ahh, this seems comfortable," I say sitting on his lap and I watched the man give me a curious look."What are you doing?" I heard him ask but I just slurred playfully. "Nothing much…just trying to see you close up," I answered, staring into his keen eyes and I felt my desires build up."Did you want to sleep with me?" I mumbled, wrapping my hands around his neck catching him by surprise and I heard him chuckle, which made me ache down there.I suddenly felt strange being close to him. I thought it was the wine and nothing more."Are you so attracted to me that you can't wait, huh?" The man asked, spanking my butt and I moaned gently, maybe I was drunk because I felt myself doing naughty things."Yeah, at least we are both adults…I mean I became an adult today so there is nothing wrong if we have a little fun," I slurred and heard him chuckle. His laughter brightened through the room.Moon goddess! He is so perfect!"So what do you say?" I slurred touching his face and giggled like a maniac."I should listen to you since you can't wait, there is no reason to delay," he said before I could utter another senseless word. He smashed his lips on mine and I felt my body hot.I felt my body moving in the air as the man started kissing me and carried me to one of the guest lodges in the restaurant. I met his energy as I kissed him in my amateurish way.I heard a door slam shut and my body on a soft bed. That was the last thing I remembered as I got lost in my fairyland…the one that the strange handsome man created for me that night.EMILY'S POV They disengaged and then I led the way, we walked together into our room. Where Lucien lay.His eyes were half closed but he could recognize us all. He stretched out his hand to Liam. Liam took it.“What is happening? It's been a long time since the family was completely like this. It's been a while since I saw Liam.”He breathed. "We are going to try something. We hope and pray it works.”“What?” "Just watch and see. Be calm.”I stepped aside, Liam let go of his hand and we moved away from him. Lucas closed his eyes and held his father's hand.His essence began to glow in his heart and split in half. We watched with groped hearts and pensive spirits as Lucas shared his essence with Lucien. Immediately it was complete, Lucas slumped on the ground, his skin paled out a little, and his hair turned grey.I ran to him, touching him to see if he was still warm. He was and I breathed in great relief.Liam touched me.“Attend to father. I can handle him.” I nodded and stood u
EMILY'S POV There I'd nothing to say you need not disturb yourself self my Luna”He looked a little my way and then continued driving.“You saw me. At the trance you had in the cave, didn't you? And you didn't fail “ He looked at me and immediately our eyes crossed he couldn't lie anymore.“I didn't, I instantly knew it was not you. But I was carried away for a moment and I almost failed.”"Oh, I see. It's very understandable. He played with our minds to know the secrets we harbor that will lead us to evil if given the chance” “I thought so too. It was a very funny plan though and it works well if you do not know who you are with very well.” Dion Wright said."When we get back, you are granted a two-year leave. Go marry and have a what young man do. That will automatically fix this problem”" Thank you my Luna. I hope that I can find a woman like you” he said lightly.Our conversation ended we did not speak again even when he wheeled the car into the palace. I stepped out and looke
EMILY'S POV The old she-wolf looked back at me. She smiled as she saw the relief on my face. “You have come a long way."I nodded my head laughing.“Well, it all ends here. Remember this before you meet the creature you must not harbor any secret in your heart.”She looked at the bag of weapons Dion was carrying.“You should know that you are not supposed to take that in with you.”Dion smiled and spoke for the first time in hours.“We can't take chances. If there is no need to use it then we will not use it.”“If you say so. Be careful though. I will wait here.”I looked at her. “You are not coming in with us?”“Yes. I will hand you my staff so that it will serve as a symbol to the creature that I brought you but I cannot go in with you. You will have to answer for yourself by yourself.”I huffed ‘This is just great ‘“My Luna let's get going. The earlier the better.” Dion whispered into my ear“Of course” I took the staff from the lady and we began to make our way into the mounta
EMILY'S POVHeartbroken I pulled out of Dion's arm and yelled out into the forest.“How dare you ask me to come here without having the solution to my problem. I believed you existed like you have said and I followed the map. I came here. How can you tell me what isn't true? Does it amuse you to play with the heart of the wounded? Guess you deserve all that has happened to you and your people then ”My tears wet my clothes and My head ached because of anger. Amid my yelling, I heard a chuckle of an old voice.“So you came? I am impressed, Luna. I have never seen someone as desperate as you are. You must love this husband of yours so much."I looked toward the voice, and Dion looked too. An old Woman emerged from the burnt forest. “I am the One who sent you the letter. Honestly, I simply replicated the letter indeed to those I told that I had the cure to the problem. No one had ever honored my invite before and then the city was still in full bloom. I certainly did not expect that t
SOME MONTHS AFTER.EMILY'S POV I carried the baby down and Lucas took him from my hand. He cuddled the little pup and he giggled loudly.“At this rate, we will all be heard," someone spoke behind me, it was Liam, dressed in the robe of his father.Lucas stuck his tongue out at him, “Stop whining about your brother mini-Alpha Liam.”Liam glared at him. And Lucas laughed his ass off as usual." Asshole come along you know we have a patrol this evening and I cannot do it alone.” Liam beckoned on his brother. Lucas excused himself to keep the child inside.Liam looked at me. Who was silently watching them?“Are you going out again?" He asked his voice sober."Yes apparently... I have news that a man in one of the kingdoms in the east has some information that might help me.”He heaved. “Another assumption.”I gave him an accusing look."Mother please get me right, am trying to say I want my father to be healed too, it's just that… it's been roughly a year and a half since he got t
EMILY'S POV" Am what… " I let go of him. And pulled myself up On the bed.“Am with what( am pregnant? How?… I mean how come? I.. I didn't see any sign, there was no sign at all.” Shock is written all over me.Lucien kissed my cheek. “My warrior wife was too busy to notice."Seriously I could not comprehend how I was with child the whole time. And still did not know despite all the stress I went through. So many thoughts were going through my head at the same time. Lucien's came to my rescue.“Stop thinking. You just woke up, nothing is going to make sense for now but by tomorrow morning, you will be more fine. Okay? “I breathed, my nerves still not calm maybe it was because I was very confused or maybe it was because I was sitting in between Lucien's legs and he was staring at me with his cold ecstatic eyes filled with passion.“I missed you so much.” He muttered and my heart fluttered. He kissed me, going deeper. I missed him more and I got carried away, pressing him on the bed for
