Scott POV“Try to be civil and cordial, son,” my mother said to me, coming ti stand in front of me and straightening my tie. I was in a grey plaid suit and white shirt. I looked smart, all thanks to my mother who insistently I looked my part as a great Alpha. “I’m always civil, mother,” I mumbled and stepped past her. She caught me and gave me a disapproving look, looked behind me and tilted her head forward in a gesture and Ashley hurried forward to stand beside me. “You two shouldn’t forget the point why we are here,” As she spoke, her eyes skidded from me to her and back. “These Alphas might be obnoxious but for the sake of our pack and getting them to be on our side, we shouldn't get into any form of disagreement with any of them.”“Of course, Mom,” Ashley purred, holding onto my arm too tightly. “I am more than willing to play my part in this,” her statement ended with an unnecessarily irritating snicker. I rolled my eyes and began walking. Once my mother coughed lightly, I le
EmmaThe day whirled by, slower than typical. Perhaps because I was looking forward to seeing Scott tonight, the day for some reason crawled like a snail. I recalled going back to the room after our short mischief to rest after which I had retreated down back to Taylor's room to stay with him. Initially, when I came, he had slept off as though he hadn't slept wherever Scott had hidden him.After that, I was bored and fathomed Taylor might need air- he had been cramped inside for a while. Again, I had no idea where he was retained before if came out. Though I doubted that. We were in the living room, the evening drawing near and my eyes heavy from too much wine. Anna had gone off after we came out of the conservatory and wandered off where I couldn't tell. Maybe running in the woods. I hoped she was okay."Look how lovely those eyes are, my love," I cooed at Taylor who gaped at me as if he couldn't get enough of me. His eyeballs were bold and bright just like his father's. He was a
Emma“Why did you do it?” Was the first question that popped out of my mouth. I didn't anticipate to question him when I came down here, how we out of nowhere the question came. Perhaps it was right to know what I didn't wrong to warrant his cruelty. That was I could have my closure.“Em…”“Why did you fucken betray me, cunt?” I half yelled, jabbing my finger his way. “I gave you everything! My body, my dignity as a woman! My everything. Even a goddamned heir!”“It's kit what you think!” He slammed his fist on the table, jumping to his feet. He stopped and wiped his face tiredly. “It's not what you think.” His voice was calm. His tired eyes pierced at me through the faint barricade if a space that existed between us. The light was dim making his pupils sharp. It was as if I could see through his soul. I looked down. “They trapped me.”I scoffed. “Like I look like a child.”“I swear it, darling.” He left the desk and came towards me. I didn't move. “You can ask Liam. I was with him that

EmmaYour son is under a spell...The words kept echoing in my ear as I stood outside the nursery. The priest had asked us to step out so he could try to save the boy. He said we had come on time if not, he wouldn't be alive in the next 40 minutes.Then again, he had asked, "Who was with him when you came in?" And I had stared blankly, my mind utterly mesmerized. It was Scott who answered and said, "I think one of the nursemaids.""One of his nuersemaids is a mercenary," The priest had informed us. Fear had gripped me further. Taylor had four nursemaids. I recalled telling Scott he didn't even need one but he was overcome with care and had insisted, saying I was too feeble to handle a newborn baby by myself."I-I thought the Doctor said it was poison?" That was the first thing I had uttered, out of shock."Not poison." The priest had picked him up again. "I need to try to help him. Everyone kindly step outside for a minute."Scott's arms came about me and guided me outside with There
EmmaNormal.That was one sentiment I didn't think I would experience in a long time. This evening after I encountered Scott in the bedroom, I was relieved to see him. I had scented him earlier when he came with Liam, but before I could call them back to inform them I was awake, they were fine. And I was too tired to go after them.These days I've been acting like a robot, I knew. It disturbed me as much as it disturbed Scott. I was supposed to be his Luna not ti mention that out binding ceremony was coming up, however, I haven't felt myself. I didn't want to leave room to any more surprise where our son was concerned. At least if I couldn't get anything right, I should in that aspect.“Are you ready?” Scott queried beside me. He was smartly dressed in a black sweat pants and black shirt, his hair shining from the concentrated channeled ought if the room’s mini chandeliers. My lips thinned out, I nodded with a slight smile.“I'm ready when you are,” I mouthed. He grabbed his customized
EmmaThere was an icy silence in the room as she said that. If one had dropped a pin at this moment, there was a possibility of hearing the sound. And me? I froze.My blood ran cold, my mouth fell open.“What do you mean?” Scott's voice was stern. “You can't be pregnant.”“Why not?” She hissed directly at his face. Her eyes were narrowed, daring him. Why? “Have you forgotten that might?”“You tricked me!” Scott jabbed his finger on the floor.Theresa stood up, clearing her throat. “I think everyone should settle down.”“No, I will not have this! She is lying!” As Scott said it, he turned to me. I was still frozen. If Ashley was pregnant, it meant only one thing; I was finished. I would be cast out. “Everyone sit down. Now!” Theresa slammed her fist on the table, and I flinched, regaining myself. I fell on my chair. I didn't want to be there anymore. What was there to say? She was right. They had sex.Ashley sashayed forward and plopped down on a chair close to Theresa and Scott came b
A few days later things went back to normal. Well, there's never a normal for me since finding out Ashley was having my mate’s baby. But I won't let that bother me for now. I have a wedding to look forward to! The morning breakfast was just like other breakfasts, consisting of aromatic dishes that I couldn't eat to my satisfaction in front of Scott’s mother, whilst enduring the peculiar glares flashed at me from time to time by Ashley as well as dark observations from Scott himself. When breakfast ended and Theresa left with Anna on her tail, I knew it was time to put on my responsibility shoes and act! I don't know how this is going to turn out but one thing is for sure, I'm not going to cross my arms and watch this weasel of a girl make me into a joke. Not for the Alpha, of course, but for the maintenance of my dignity. Before I came here I did do well. The few times I had incurred the devil's shoes of my family were out of sheer hatred and the need to exact their power over me a
