"I, Emma Wilfred, reject you, Darrell Blackwood, as my fated mate.” My voice wavered as fresh tears streamed down my cheeks. “May our bond be severed.” He stepped forward. “We shouldn't do this, Emma.” “Then you’re free not to accept the rejection,” I interrupted coldly. “If you’re ready to give up everything and fight for our love,” I said, part of me hoping, desperately praying that he would really choose us. But in the end, Darrell chose power over our love. “I accept the rejection......" ******************** She gave her heart to her mate.....and he shattered it days before their union.

View More*****DARRELL'S POV*****Aiden's sleek black car pulled up beside us, and I turned to find Emma fidgeting with her fingers, her head hung low like a child caught stealing cookies. The sight made my chest tighten with unexpected tenderness.She raised up her head and looked at me and immediately our eyes met, she quickly lowered it back, sucking in her lips.I had to bite back a laugh as I found her entire attitude very funny.Actually I did hear all of her conversations with Carmen. Even when she told me to have my two ears sealed off, I still continued to listen which makes me hear everything Carmen said that Hailey has done.But what I don't understand was why Emma would try to hide it from me in the first place?Did she think I would be angry or disappointed that my daughter did that?Why would I?When I haven't even heard her own side of a story.My little girl who I met just once didn't look like someone who would hit a person just for nothing.And I would never be disappointed in
"Anyway, thanks for that long advice. I really do appreciate it.""You're welcome."" Now just put that aside for now and tell me—do you really understand everything I've just said?""You mean the 'you're welcome' part? Yeah, I think I understand that...""Fuck, Em! Are you saying you didn't listen to a single word I've been saying?""Of course I did. I just thought that was the most important part.""Em! Are you serious right now? I've been racking my brain, trying to think of ideas to help you, and…""Okay, fine. I heard everything." I let out a loud laughter, holding my belly. "I was just trying to pull your leg, girl."“ Fuck you!”"And seriously, I really had no idea you were so good at giving advice."She let out a loud sigh and I could practically imagine her rolling her eyes. "Well, I'm not really sure about that, but I think I got good at it thanks to you."Then I remembered that I heard the screech of tires the other time which seemed like she was driving."Are you driving r
As his words continued to wrap around my chest like a warm blanket, all the anger, all the hurt that I had been feeling melted away like snow under warm sunlight. And all I could feel now was love….. and I felt eighteen again, just like back then when the only thing that sang in my head and heart was Darrell.My mind drifted back to earlier, to the moment when my tears threatened to slipped down after those tender, heart-stirring words:"You said you'd never make me cry again. But look at what you're doing right now." I said, my voice breaking as tears threatened to fall."Oh no!" Darrell moved his forehead away from mine and then cupped my face right into his hands as his eyes searched desperately for a way to make me stop crying. I could see the panic in his eyes as if that if those tears fell, the world would collapse."I can't let these fall." But the tears were already sliding down my face as I watched his worried expression, seeing him struggle to think of how to make them st
"See that area over there?" I gestured toward a large, carefully maintained space near the back of the house, my words tumbling out in a nervous rush. "That's going to be the vegetable garden. I had the soil tested and everything—apparently it's perfect for growing tomatoes, herbs and many others. Hailey and I can practice agriculture. you can also join us sometimes. ”Emma remained quiet, but I could see her eyes following where I pointed, taking it all in. Her scent kept shifting between emotions so rapidly I could barely keep up—surprise, confusion, something that might have been longing, and underneath it all, that stubborn wall of hurt she refused to let down."And the best part," I continued, my voice growing more excited as I gestured toward the back of the property, "is the kennel area I've already ordered to be built behind the house. I thought... I thought maybe Hailey would like to pick out a puppy." I couldn't keep the hopeful smile off my face. "I know how much she loves
*****DARRELL'S POV******Emma hadn't spoken a single word since I'd practically kidnapped her and forced her into this journey she didn't want. She just stayed glued to the door like it was her lifeline, staring outside with that stubborn jaw set in that defiant line. And I know that if there is a chance of escape for her, she would even think twice before she jumps out of the car.I know she doesn't want to be here with me. I know how much she hated me as I heard every single word she was saying earlier. But this is the only way for me to make her calm down and show her that no matter what happens, she will always be the only choice for me. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my eyes on the road but it was a little bit difficult as my traitorous gaze kept drifting to her flawless and milky skin which was exposed and I was losing my damn mind trying not to notice how the fabric clung onto her.Emma was only wearing Daisy Dukes and a clingy tank top, and I couldn’t believe I had brou
Entering my office, I slammed my door harder than necessary as I walked to my desk, rage burning through me. “Wow, I can't believe that son of a bitch!” I said as I unbuttoned the first few buttons of my shirt, suddenly feeling hot and suffocated. For some unknown reason this law firm has started feeling more suffocating so I could hardly breathe. My enhanced hearing was picking up every whispered conversation, every keyboard click, every phone ring from the offices around me, and it was driving me crazy.This was exactly the kind of situation that made me understand why some werewolves chose to live completely separate from human society. The constant need to restrain ourselves, to play by their rules even when they had no intention of playing fair was really exhausting.But there weren't such places in this world again.The world has changed and we all lives among them, hiding our true form.I paced behind my desk, running my left hand through my hair as I tried to ground myself.
