The men dragged Emma towards a building beyond the gardens. It was a small cottage. “Now what?” Emma said after one of the men pushed her onto a metallic chair in the living room before proceeding to chain her to it.“Your alpha is not going to like what you’re doing,” Emma said. “You’re stupid if you think following that woman’s crazy orders is the way to go.”“Shut up, bitch.”Emma saw Michelle coming through the door. The woman was holding a knife on one hand.“You can leave,” Michelle said to the two men, before turning to Emma. “Now, it’s just the two of us. Today I will show you who I am so that you think twice before crossing me again in future.“You’re a coward, Michelle.” Emma said, looking up at her. Michelle came closer and slapped her across the cheek. Emma gritted her teeth as the pain spread all over her cheek. “What do you think you’ll achieve by this?”“I know that I’ll drive you out sooner,” Michelle said. “I have been very kind to you although I didn’t need to be. I
After speaking, the man left the room. He and his colleague went away leaving the three in the house. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Lucius asked Michelle. “Was there need to involve them? You and I both know we don’t care about each other. All you wanted was the crown and you’ve got it. There is no need for us to have an intimate relationship or anything of the sort. What do you really want?”Michelle smiled. “I want to see you miserable like I am. You can’t be happy parading your lover around and expect me to look the other side. Look here, we can either work on our relationship and try to find happiness with each other or we can both be miserable. I can let you be happy when I’m not. Given that this woman is your biggest source of happiness, I have to get rid of her. Don’t think I haven’t noticed how contented you have been since she returned.”“Michelle, you have always been horrible to me, even before we were married. How do expect me to like you? I made a big mistake by mar
“It is alleged that there is something going on between this young woman and alpha Lucius but we do not have enough details to decide whether that is true or not,” the man continued. “That is why we are all gathered here. We’re going to listen to all the parties and see what needs to be done because for the pack to run smoothly, the alpha and the luna need to be on fairly good terms with each other. I will start with the complainant.” He turned to look at Michelle who was seated next to Lucius near the throne at the end of the table. Emma was two chairs away from the couple.“Can you please tell us why you’re concerned about this young woman?” he asked her.“Of course, I will.” Michelle said. “This young woman came back here to seduce Lucius and take my rightful place. You may not know it but their affair started long before Lucius married me. He actually wanted to reject me as his mate so that he could be with her.” Michelle paused and looked around to observe the effect of her words
Emma could feel sweat pooling up all lover her body. She glanced at Lucius and back to the man who had asked the question, not knowing where to start from. Thankfully, Lucius stepped in.“Miss Greenfield is my friend and you all know that. I consulted you before I attacked Alpha Axel so you know all the history. She was the one who brought my sister back to the pack and we’ve been good friends since then. I have to admit, I started to feel something for her and told her about it but she did not want to create trouble, which was why she ran away. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped by the vampire king who is trying to create a hybrid army, something I forgot to tell you about. Anyway, miss Greenfield and her friend were able to escape but did not have anywhere to go, and that’s why they decided to return here. The truth she and I are starting to develop really strong feelings but I’m married now so there’s never going to be anything between us.”“But sometimes you wish you could get rid
Like almost everyone in the pack, Jenezel disliked Michelle, and she never bothered to hide it. The woman had sandy blonde hair and the perfect face. She was middle aged, around forty but still looked like she was in her early thirties. Her skin was soft and smooth, almost wrinkle free. She was wearing a blue suit and talking on phone by the window while Michelle waited. Michelle had arrived ten minutes prior and Jenezel had made her sit on the bench while she chatted with whoever had called her.When Jenezel finally finished, she turned with a smirk on her face. She smiled widely as she approached Michelle, looking highly pleased with herself. “I was wondering when they were going to send you over,” she began.“Good morning, miss Miller.” Michelle said, trying to be respectful. She knew that although she was the Luna, Jenezel had the power to make her life a living hell. Jenezel was that hot older unmarried woman that all the older men seemed to want. At first, Michelle had wondered
Lucius sat at the high table overlooking at the crowded science fair. He had tried his hardest to avoid looking her away but now he couldn’t help but gaze intently at Emma as she helped a young girl who had tripped over a wire stretch her leg. His heart was racing as he watched her work with so much care written on her face. She seemed genuinely interested in what she was doing. Lucius couldn’t take his eyes off the beautiful woman even as she led the young girl out. Lucius felt disappointed that he could no longer see her. After the chaos that had been caused by the fall, the science fair was officially announced. Lucius and the other alphas followed the judges to listen to the participants. As he walked, all he was thinking about was Emma and the next time he would get a chance to talk to her. They had reached the first project when he saw her walking in, looking as beautiful as ever. His heart picked up pace again. Lucius could barely concentrate on the presentation.At the fourth
Emma had always known that Axel would get out sooner or later but had not expected it to be so soon. Her entire body was shaking and she was glad that Lucius was with her when she received the dreadful news. Lucius continued talking with the guard for a while before he left.Emma was a mess. Her peace of mind had just been shattered and now she realised the reason for her earlier gut feeling. She knew that Axel was going to come for her before anyone else since she had engineered his downfall.“Will you please take me home?” she asked Lucius, her voice shaking.“Of course,” he said. “Home is the safest place for you right now. I’ll summon my men and we leave now. Let me instruct the rest to finish as soon as possible and get back home. Axel knows that attacking anyone in my pack will hurt me so he could go after them. I need to organize for security reinforcement.”Emma watched as Lucius went towards the tent. Two guards that had been sitting behind it stood up and waked towards him.
Michelle pulled out the band holding her hair up and let the waves fall down her back. The sun had set and the long day was finally over for her. All day, she had been working tirelessly for Jenezel who had turned out to be very demanding. Michelle had been on her feet since morning, cooking, cleaning and attending to the older woman’s other needs. Her muscles were aching and her feet hurt from moving around so much.This is not what a luna should be doing, Michelle thought as she walked out of Jenezel’s house which was about five hundred metres away from the pack’s main household. Not everyone belonging to Summit pack lived near the pack house. Those who trusted their abilities to protect themselves and wanted more freedom and privacy lived as far as they wanted. Jenezel was one of them. She had a small two storied house which she shared with her husband.Instead of training Michelle how to be a luna which she had already done before, Jenezel had decided to use Michelle as her maid w
