Emery
I groaned in pain as I held my head. Why the hell is it hurting so much? I sat up quietly and saw that Arlo was still sleeping next to me. My mouth had a bitter taste in it, and my throat felt drier than the Sahara desert.What happened yesterday?
I just recall going down to get some water and fresh air when…
Oh fuck, that’s right. I drank with Kairo! I hit my head, which made me wince in pain, but I deserved it. Didn’t I promise myself to stay away from him? I’m so stupid! I don’t even remember the details of yesterday’s event. I just remember going down, then Kairo suddenly appeared behind me. I was tempted by the ice-cold beer, so I reluctantly went and had a drink with him. We talked about our well-being, his happiness; then I said something about…
Heck, I can’t remember.
My head was throbbing even harder from all the thinking, so I closed my eyes for a moment. I glanced at th
Long chapter ahead!EmeryI went out on a run to get rid of some of my thoughts and to get my body back into shape. Although I am still stronger now, I’m still not at the level of when I was competing in the den. I was tired, and my sweat was dripping down on the ground, but I pushed my limits and ran until I was out of my breath.I stopped for a while to catch my breath, but the thought of knowing Amelia’s true mate kept creeping into my mind. Withstanding all of the tiredness that I felt, I ran even harder than I did.After a two-hour run, I finally decided to go back to the packhouse. I left when Arlo was sleeping, so I’m assuming that he’s probably awake by now.The country is currently under a national holiday, so Arlo and Devyn are at home most of the time. Most workers are also taking a one-week break because of the holidays. I hastened my steps so I could attend to Arlo before he could wake up.I opened the fr
EmeryI stood in the small cubicle all alone, hesitating whether I should change into this damn piece of cloth or if I should just go out in my underwear.Granted that they really weren’t much different from each other, for they both unnecessarily exposed my body parts.I observed the “swimsuit,” and it was pleasantly appealing. Just not for me. It’s a white triangle-top bikini with intricate back work, and its strings would be wrapping around the ribs. The bottoms were simple slip-ons with tied ribbons on the side. I also glanced at my nude underwear and sighed.If I were to choose from these two outfits, then I’d just go with the white one. ‘Fuck,’ I muttered under my breath and reluctantly changed into the white bikini.There was no mirror present inside the cubicle, so I don’t really know what I look like right now. I just made sure that everything was tucked in place
EmeryThe Holidays were now over, and I was already back at work. Arlo was also back in school. Since we had a lot of leftover work from the one-week break, Luna Liliana asked us to stay a little bit later in the babysitting service. I didn’t have the conscience to refuse her since she gave us the opportunity to stay at the lakehouse, and she also took care of Arlo and Devyn when we were gone.I couldn’t fetch Arlo from school, so I asked Desiree a favor if she could be the one to go in lieu of me. It’s a good thing that she agreed right away. Amelia is the only other person I know who's staying in the house right now, and I don’t want to ask her any favors.It was already 3 PM when we were finally done with all the work. I stretched my back as I stood up, preparing to leave.“Long day, huh? Are you going home now?” My co-worker asked.I nodded. “Arlo’s all alone in the house since the friend I asked
Emery“What did you just say?”We both looked toward the direction of the person who just spoke and froze. Talk about perfect timing!“What did you just say, Amelia?” Kairo exclaimed, his voice shaking the entire room.“I—I—Uh—We were just joking around? Right, Emery?” She nudged me hard, but I didn’t falter.I looked at her incredulously, “I don’t recall us joking, Amelia. If I heard it right, you were mocking me to tell the secret that you’ve been trying to hide for all these years. You know, I already told you to tone your voice down when you’re speaking. You never really know who’s going to hear the contents of our conversation.” I said seriously.She looked at me with a heated glare and tightly held my hands, her nails embedding into my palms.She started talking in an overly-sweet voice, “Babe! Don’t believe her. She
Emery“Arlo, remember when you asked me for your real daddy?”Arlo looked confused as to why I was asking this question, but he nodded his head regardless.“It’s okay even if I don’t have a real daddy, mommy. I am happy with you. I am also happy because I have my aunties and uncles, grandma, Devyn, and uncle Kairo!”He looked at Kairo with a toothless smile. “Uncle Kairo can be my daddy even if I don’t have a real daddy! I already love him like a real daddy.” He hugged Kairo’s neck with his short arms.I was shocked when a tear suddenly fell from Kairo’s eyes, and I heard him sniffle next to me. I held onto his shoulder and forced him to look at me while Arlo continued to hug him. “Are you crying?” I asked.He shook his head, but another tear fell from his eye. I rubbed his shoulder and gave him a comforting smile. I think this is the first time that I have seen hi
Hi, my lovelies! I'm going to be posting a two-part Kairo special where you can learn more about Kairo and why he acts a certain way. I hope this can clear up some stuff, and maybe you'll learn to love Kairo a little bit more. <3Kairo15 years ago“Mommy, mommy! Can you join me to the flowers?” The little girl in front of me tugged her mother’s dress and coaxed her into coming with her to the garden. However, my mother and her mommy continued to chat, disregarding the little girl on the side.My mom always talks too much! I held onto the little girl’s hand, making her look at me.“Come on. I’ll take you to the flowers.” She smiled at me and nodded. I paused for a while because this was the very first time that I found a girl’s smile to be beautiful. The other girls in my class always wanted to get my attention, and I found them burdensome. However, the little girl in front of me was
KairoFour years agoI punched the walls of my room. She’s gone. Emery’s gone. I shifted to my wolf and ran through the forest. I wanted to clear my thoughts away from her, but it was of no use. She was all I ever thought off, starting from back then and up until now.I settled near a tree and whimpered in disappointment. I let her go once again. I promised back then that I’d treasure her when she came back to me, but I failed to do that once more. I ran and ran until I couldn't feel my legs anymore.I wanted to run away from this place and find Emery, but that would mean leaving the pack behind and making The Council suspicious. I sat down in my room and pondered upon the choices that I’ve made.Was it really worth it hurting Emery so bad? She doesn’t deserve anything that I’ve done to her. She deserves to be loved, but I treated her like shit. And now I’m fucking miserable because of my own actions.
Emery“Will you go on a date…...with me?”My eyes widened, and my heart started beating faster.I looked at him. He was scratching the back of his neck and avoiding my gaze.“I mean— You don’t really have to— I was just blabbering my ass off. You don’t have to agree with what I just said.” He peered up at me, and I remained silent.A panicked look went over his eyes, and I had the urge to laugh but suppressed it.“Fuck. I ruined it, didn’t I? You just told me that we should stay as friends first, yet here I fucking am! I should have just shut my mouth. Did I make you uncomfortable? Sorry. Sorry. Really. Just forget everything I—”“Sure,” I said to cut off his rambles.“Yeah, yeah, sure. Sorry for that again— Wait, what? Did you just say ‘sure?’”“Why? Do you want me to take it
