LOGINEmmie POV“I don’t know why I let you talk me into this,” Susette groaned.“Now, Susette, just a little further.”She paused and glared at me. “Call me Susette one more time, Emmieline.”I rolled my eyes and continued digging. Susette was supposed to be watching me, but after a couple of minutes, we got to talking. Turns out humans aren’t so bad.She realised that not all werewolves were especially the small ones like me, who were known for being nurturing and kind.I told her why Alex and I were out here in the first place, and she offered to help me find the body that Alex insisted was buried out here.We were up to our waists in the hole, but no sign of the smoking gun. I could smell it. It was down here, blending with the earth. I had to find it before the earth reclaimed whatever was left.“There!” Sue shouted. “A skull.”My blood ran cold.“It looks human,” Sue said.I shook my head, tears stinging my eyes. “It’s not. I can tell by the scent.”“The skeleton’s been here for a lon
Alexandra POV“She’s waking up.”“She better not die on us,” a man grumbled.“Sam!”My eyes opened, and my dry lips parted. Darkness reached every corner of the tent. How long had I been here? Enzo’s probably losing his mind, and Emmie… Gosh, I left my best friend alone with a murderous human.I started to sit up immediately. How had I been so reckless?“Whoa, where are you off to? You fainted?” A woman asked me.I could barely make out her features in the dark, just her green eyes that shone like marbles.“Sam, can you get another lamp, please?”Sam grumbled, but complied.“Sam told me your name’s Alexandra,” Paige said. “I’m Paige…”My breathing was heavy, and my limbs trembled from the cold.“I need to go home. My mate… my husband must be searching for me.”“Oh, I understand. You helped us a lot. You saved my life,” Paige whispered. “They told me why you did it. You think we’re sisters, right?”I nodded slowly. “Yeah… I’ve never known my human family.”“It’s a running joke that my
Alexandra POV“That doesn’t mean anything. It just means your father was or is a psycho!” Sam blasted.Getting through to him is harder than I thought.“I don’t know that. I’ve never met the guy,” I stated.“We have to be careful here, Sam.”“Careful? We’ve slaughtered nearly fifty of these beasts, and you want us to be careful now, Mako? Have you lost it? Or are you just tired?” Sam blasted.“Think clearly! What if she’s Harvey’s daughter? You know the guy couldn’t keep it in his pants when he was younger.”Harvey? I finally have a name, even though it was a stretch. My heart leapt at the chance of finally knowing.“Where is she?” I asked, my throat clogged.Sam shook his head. “I won’t lead a beast to my people.”“She’s half-human,” Mako said. “If she doesn’t know Harvey is her father, then Harvey might not know he has another kid.”“How many kids does he have?” I asked, nervously.The red-haired woman shrugged. “Twelve. The number is unconfirmed.”Whoa.That nearly knocked the wind
Alexandra POVScott came at me, fangs and claws at full speed, about to tear me to pieces. I did the only thing I could. I withdrew my claws and wiped recklessly. Scott screamed, which almost burst my eardrums. I bolted up from bed. Enzo’s arm yanked me back down instinctively.“What? What happened?” Enzo asked frantically.I blinked several times to adjust to the darkness. Bits of light shone through the curtains from the floodlights outside.I exhaled deeply. “I’m sorry. Nightmare.”Enzo groaned and pulled me to his warm body. “Fine, go back to bed.”“Okay…” I swallowed hard.I’d done a lot of things since I got my wolf, but scarring Scott was the worst. I buried it for so long. Now it’s come back up and confronted me. My heart started racing. Scott was planning something. Would he try to regain lost Mystic Pack land? That’s going to be a bigger mission than trying to reopen the portals containing their ancient magic.“Why’s your heart beating so fast?” Enzo asked, his voice thick
Alexandra POV“Azeal’s going to kill me for this,” Enzo stated when he parked.“Azeal’s recovering. He shouldn’t be thinking about me,” Emmie replied.“That’s not how shifters think when it comes to their mates,” Enzo said.Emmie glanced at me for a second before turning to Enzo in the driver’s seat.“Enzo, you do know Azeal and me aren’t mated, right?”Enzo chuckled. “That’s what you think. You have an hour before I come after you.”Emmie and I climbed out of the vehicle. I stopped by the passenger door to kiss the driver.“Be careful, Alexandra,” he said.I smiled. “You’re dying to come with me, aren’t you?”“Of course, I am.”Jeffery chimed in from the passenger seat. “You stick out like a sore thumb, Enzo. Let the she-wolves do the dirty work. Besides, anyone is more willing to talk when she-wolves are around.”“No, people are more willing to talk when they’re threatened,” Enzo growled.“Good thing your mate is a white wolf with extraordinary powers,” Jeffery grinned.I leaned int
Alexandra POVIt was awkward walking out of the room after everyone in the pack house and possibly in the entire pack knew we’d just had mind-blowing sex. I could feel my cheeks burn with emotion, and my hands trembled from nervousness.Enzo chuckled. “Don’t do that, cub. It’s totally normal.”“Totally normal for wolves to know when others have been intimate?”“Completely normal in my pack. You gain a certain level of respect for it.”He winked at me, and I rolled my eyes.“It’s a wolf thing,” he added.“I must be too human to understand,” I said with a sigh.He tugged me under his arm. “You’re a beast, and you know it. I’m not just talking about in the bedroom.”“Enzo,” Blaze said, cutting off our playful conversation.“What’s up?”“You uh… have a visitor,” Blaze said, running his fingers through the back of his head.“Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of Alex. She knows everything anyway.”“Unless there’s more you’re keeping secret. What is it? Another child?”Enzo’s
Alexandra POVDr Zaya made me drink the gross substance anyway. It helped to reduce the pain, but the dull ache was still there. Enzo moved me to his bedroom while he spoke to Cindi, Alex and Dr Zaya.All I’d wanted since I got to the Onyx pack was a warm bed and my mate beside me. Now I couldn’t e
Alexandra POVDarkness fell on another day. Alec caught me off guard by knocking me out with his Alpha power, but it got rid of the pain I felt. Ellis still hadn’t come home yet. She always stopped by my room to make sure I was still being held captive.We didn’t say much to each other these days.
Alexandra POVI yanked him inside. I looked around for the guards, but the surroundings were clear. Where had they all gone?It didn’t matter. I closed the door and locked it.“How did you get past the guards?”“A diversion,” Alec grinned.“You can’t be here! Ellis has this place heavily guarded. T
Alexandra POV“You’ve been keeping a lot of things from me, Alexandra. I thought we were closer than this.”“Just leave me alone.”“You’re not a teenager anymore. We can talk freely.”I was in my old room again, feeling like a teenager. I couldn’t believe she’d taken things this far. On the drive h
