After the man gave Ken clear instructions, he and Emma said their goodbyes. Emma watched as Ken went off to look for his mate. When he rounded a corner and disappeared, Emma sighed and returned to the lounge. She went inside and got herself a drink. Sitting by the bar, she gulped her whole drink down. She was now truly alone, which made her miss Tommy more than she had done before.“Why is a lovely lady like you alone?”Emma turned and saw a very handsome young man. He was very tall. “Where is your companion?”“He left,” Emma said. “Found his mate.”“So you’re all alone.”Emma nodded.“I hate to see pretty women looking so sad,” he said. “Come, let’s dance.”Emma smiled and got off the chair. She allowed herself to be led by the man to the dance floor. “I’m Emma.”“Pretty name for a pretty girl,” he smiled. “I like that. I’m Jake.”Emma chuckled. “Not surprised. You look like a Jake.”A slower song came on. Emma wasn’t very comfortable being so close to a stranger but she decided to e
Emma remained squatting and tried to think of a way of getting that girl out of there. She tried to think of a way out but all that came up were problems.1. She didn’t know how many vampires were there.2. She didn’t know how fast and strong they were.3. She had no idea how they would get out of their if they had to outrun the vampires4. The girl had barely developed which meant that her supernatural powers were quite week. She looked 14 or 15 and that was a very early developmental stage for most werewolves. The fact that she couldn’t break out of the ropes holding her was a sign of the little strength she had.Emma stood up again and looked at the girl. She moved her mouth to show ‘how many’ before lifting her hand. She raised one finger and the girl shook her head. Emma raised two and the girl nodded. Emma went back down and started thinking. So, one of the vampires was in the tent while the other had gone off to the woods, probably to ease himself.Emma opened her bag and retr
“Come inside,” the man said and turned to walk into the house. The crowd stood aside to let Katya and her mother follow him. Emma followed right behind them.“Where have you been?” the man asked Katya who was shaking like a leaf. Tears were cascading down her cheeks.“Calm down, Lucius.” The mother said. “She looks very scared.”“Let her go with her mother,” Emma told the man. “I’ll tell you everything.”“And who the hell are you?” he asked.“Emma Greenfield,” Emma said. “Can we talk in a more private place? This girl has been through a lot. She needs to shower and get some rest.”The man glared at Emma for a while, before turning to Katya’s mother. “Take her away,” he said. “You, come with me.”Emma followed him. They went through a long hallway. At the end of it was a door which he opened. Inside was a study. There was a shelf with a number of books, a couch and some chairs. “Sit,” he said.Emma went and sat on the couch.“Now tell me everything.”“Are you the alpha?” Emma asked.T
Two days later, Lucius Bradford agreed to help Emma. Everyone in the pack had asked him not to do it, but he decided to help her anyway. They were able to communicate with Emma’s friends Shelly and Isaac of West Crescent pack. They sent some warriors who joined the few warriors of Blue Moon pack.The plan was to lure Axel white away from his pack. Axel had about 20 warriors who were more than those of blue Moon and West Crescent pack going against him. Going into his territory would be too risky. Emma had never really found out what kind of defenses he had. The chosen location was a lake called Sanos. It was in a no-man’s territory and quite close to Venom pack. The lake stretched a long way and the trees close to it had been cut down leaving behind lush vegetation. Emma looked around the beautiful lake as she put her feet into the cold water. She looked past the large lake and saw Lucius walking around with his men. Emma sighed. He was so good looking, and quite charming. He had a
Most of the warriors survived that day. Two of them died, one from West Crescent and another from Blue Moon pack. Emma shed tears as she looked at the men who had died trying to help her. She felt extremely guilty and decided that she would have to go against Axel by herself. Seeing the sadness she had caused, she felt terrible and regretted her actions.“It’ll be okay,” Katya told her later. Katya had been indoors ever since she returned to the pack. She had refused to leave her room and would stay there all day. She refused to have any visitors except her mother and Emma because she didn’t think anybody else understood her. “You were trying to do good but it ended up badly. That’s like what happened to me but at least no innocent person died because of me. I’m sure it’s hard but I think you’re a strong woman and will find your way out of it.”“I’m the adult here,” Emma said with a small smile. “Have you forgotten?”Katya smiled. “So what are you going to do now? Are you going to giv
Emma didn’t see Lucius again during the day. After he was whisked away by his mate, she took a walk into the woods. She wanted to run away but remembered Katya. She resolved to get her back outside before leaving. Emma had decided to make it her mission to bring that girl back to some kind of normal functioning before she left so she returned to Katya’s room. When it became dark, she convinced Katya to go out to the backyard with her. Katya refused at first but Emma convinced her there was no one there. Luckily, they didn’t find anyone and Katya enjoyed being outdoors for an hour before they returned to her room. As Emma walked away from the girl’s room, she smiled. That had been the first step. Soon, she would ensure that Katya started talking to her friends again.When she reached her assigned room, she nearly screamed when she found Lucius sitting on the chair.“I don’t want trouble with your sweetheart,” Emma began.Emma was saddened when he didn’t even smile. Clearly, Lucius and
Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door before it was thrown open. Michelle, Lucius’ mate strutted into Katya’s bedroom without asking for permission. She walked in like she owned it. She was wearing a black top and white sweatpants. She grabbed Emma’s collar and brought her to standing position. “I’ve had it with you,” she said. “You have to leave this pack right now.”Katya stood up from her chair. “No, Emma is my friend and she will stay here for as long as she wants.”Michelle narrowed her eyes. “I’m the future Luna, little girl. In fact, I’m already the luna. If your brother wasn’t so slow, he would have married me already. You, on the other hand, are just a little girl. You need to shut up and listen to the elders.”Katya rolled her eyes. “Which elders? You?”“Katya,” Emma said, signaling to the young girl to calm down.“You’re nobody to me and I’ll not listen to you,” Katya said.Michelle let go of Emma and laughed hard. “That’s why you ended up getting raped by those v
Losing Tommy had been painful, but knowing that he had betrayed her was even more heart-breaking. For a long time, Tommy had been Emma’s world and she’d known she would be with him forever. She had planned to reject her mate if she ever found him and stay with Tommy. Tommy had lost his mate a long time ago so he would never have to reject anyone for Emma. Emma had always believed in Tommy and trusted him with all her heart. A lot of things had happened because of the decision to delay Tommy’s burial. Emma was so angry. Had she known that Tommy was seeing another woman, she would never have stayed with him. She was so furious that she had given her all for a man who was just using her. Was Axel’s sister the only woman he had cheated on her with? Emma couldn’t help but wonder.She spent the next two weeks mourning the last five years of her life and getting over the heartbreak. She felt that it had all been a lie. Her emotional state was shattered. The tables had turned, and now Katya
