Emily POV The ride was nice, despite the events that had happened earlier in the morning. I fell asleep after about an hour, and I woke up to Easton’s gentle voice, “Emily. Hey, Baby girl, we’re in my pack territory.” I blinked my eyes a few times and took in my surroundings. We were stopped on the road, but it seemed like we were in the middle of the woods. “Why are we stopped here?” I asked. “I thought you might want to be awake before we pull up to the packhouse. We’re only about ten minutes out.” He answered.I had a sudden thought when I realized he called my Emily. It didn’t seem right from him. “You don’t have to call me Emily, you know. You can call me Em.” I commented. Easton looked taken aback. He reached his hand up to my cheek and questioned, “Can I just call you baby girl instead?” I couldn’t stop the smile that came across my face, nor could I stop my arousal at his words. “I actually prefer that from you.” I divulged. I could stare into his loving blue eyes forever
Emily POV Easton softly stroked my back while he held me. I was absentmindedly playing with his hair when he softly said, “We should probably go ahead and let our wolves out for a bit so we can head to the packhouse.” “Yeah, Kyra might try to force it if I don’t let her shift soon.” I laughed out. He slowly slid out of me before lifting me up to sit on the edge of the spring. I laid back enjoying the warm sun while he pulled himself up out of the water. Once he was out, he gave me a soft peck on my lips before standing up. I sat up while he walked further away from the water to shift. My jaw dropped at the sight of his magnificent wolf. His wolf was so black it almost looked deep purple. It went perfectly with the silver of Kyra’s fur. His eyes were an even more piercing blue than Easton’s, and he was larger than any wolf I had ever seen. Kyra purred in my mind before I gave her control to shift. Once shifted, Kyra walked up to Easton’s wolf and sniffed him before she licked his s
Easton POV I was glad I decided to stop and wake Emily before we went to the pack house, especially after I remembered the spring nearby. When she first told me I could call her Em instead of Emily, I was worried she didn’t like me calling her baby girl. She squashed my worry when she shyly revealed she preferred for me to call her baby girl. Dallas was pacing and howling in my mind when she asked if our wolves could meet and bond at the spring. “Anything for you, baby girl.” I don’t think she knows just how much I mean that. I would do anything in the world for my beautiful mate. I’ve already threatened her dad, and I would gladly raze his entire pack to the ground if wanted me to. I would watch the world burn to protect her and make her happy. I could smell her wetness building, and I was beginning to grow a bulge in my pants. I could tell she was shocked when I drove into the woods. There’s an actual road that leads to the spring we were going to, but that would take too l
Emily POVWhen we got to Easton’s suite, I was amazed. The outside of the pack house was beautiful enough, and he pulled me up the stairs so quickly I couldn’t really take in anything. The furniture in his suite is gorgeous. I love the minimalistic feel, even though I can tell the furniture is not cheap. I truly cannot stand clutter, so the openness and cleanliness of the space is very calming.He pulled me to the couch so we could call Hannah and Ryan. He put the phone on speaker, and Ryan answered rather quickly. When he mentioned Kate, I decided to tease him and ask where Hannah was. He obviously didn’t know he was on speaker.It was strange hearing him address me as Luna when he apologized. I laughed his statement about my sister off, because she truly is a bitch and hearing him say that didn’t bother me or offend me at all. Hannah would’ve handled her anyway if needed. I know Hannah was trying to tease me after I told her we were a little busy, but I knew I could make her blush m
Easton POV“Mom, are you saying you think that girl from the rumors is Emily’s mother?”“It could be a very good possibility.” Mom replied. My dad looked between my mother and Emily and appeared to be lost in thought.“Do you remember her name?” Emily asked.“No, dear. I’ll call some of my friends and see what I can find out though.” Mom answered. She then furrowed her brows before adding, “When’s your birthday?”“February.” Emily said.“Do you know your parents’ anniversary?” Dad asked Emily.Emily gasped before answering, “My birthday. They said I was born on their first anniversary.”“How old are you?” Dad asked her. “Twenty.” She answered.Mom looked panicked as we all sat there contemplating. I could feel Emily’s emotions going crazy. She suddenly stiffened in my lap.“It was all a lie. He marked her while my mother was giving birth to me. That was the complication. They killed her.” She whispered.“Baby girl, what do you mean? I asked. Mom and dad were trying to hide their anger
Emily POV There were so many thoughts and emotions swirling through me after Marie told us about the rumor she heard in college. Then when I remembered how my parents “mixed up” their anniversary with how old I was turning it just seemed to click in my head. The parents I had known my entire life were never fated mates, and they marked each other while my biological mother was already marked. They killed her. Whether or not it happened as she was giving birth or caused her labor to start isn’t even important. I’ve heard how excruciating the pain is when your mate is intimate with another. It’s also a known fact that marking another before breaking an established bond can be fatal to some wolves. The rage was about to consume me at that thought. When Marie told me I was likely part Fae, I felt the room begin to spin. don’t know how different the mate bond may be for Fae, but it’s probably similar. I clutched my chest at the new information, and if I hadn’t been sitting in Easton
Emily POVI don’t think I can ever get enough of Easton. Everything that’s happened today is so overwhelming, but having him gives me a sense of security. We finished in the shower and cleaned up real quick before getting out. I didn’t realize until I dried off that I didn’t have any more clothes to wear. I didn’t even have to say anything to Easton because he told me to hang on and came out with a T-shirt and sweatpants for me to wear. “I’ll have someone bring your things up while we’re eating.” He said as he handed me the clothes. “I don’t think I’d mind just wearing your sweatpants and t-shirts every day. They’re pretty comfy.” I told him when we were walking downstairs. He just grinned while he led me to the kitchen. Ryan and Hannah were waiting for us in the kitchen. Hannah rushed to hug me as we walked in. “Em, what exactly happened with your parents? Did your dad really banish you?” She blurted. “I’ll just explain while we eat.” I moaned. My stomach growled and Hannah wen
Emily POV It didn’t take me very long to fall asleep, especially with Easton’s warmth wrapped around me. I woke up in a meadow of flowers next to a beautiful waterfall. I sat up and noticed that it was still dark outside, but the moon was full and shining brightly. It seemed to encompass everything in a silver glow. I looked around for some clue as to how I got here. I saw a regal looking woman approaching me. Her long, wavy hair was the same honey-colored shade as mine, but there were light pink highlights throughout it. As she got closer I saw her eyes were the same shade of purple as Kyra’s. I felt drawn to the unknown woman for some reason. I stood up and she sat on a large flat rock near the water’s edge. She waved for me to join her, so I walked and sat beside her. I sat gazing at her, and noticed that her skin seemed to sparkle. I took in her features, which were similar to mine. “Mama?” I questioned hesitantly. “Yes, my child. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be there
