Kenan shook his head at me."I'm human too and can see your resemblance to you when you had your wolf. Wolves go by scent and with your wolf gone you smell just like every other human in the world," he told me frankly and I scowled. My vision was so blurry I just wanted to cry. I gritted my teeth seeing through blurry vision the lovely woman I knew was Monica, nursing my child. I stomped my foot, having enough of this bullshit. "I demand an audience with the Alpha and you as well, Raina. I know your mate was Scotty the Adlet and I know I had golden blood that was unique and took gifts of those not naturally born. I'm Emma, the blind, fatter, dumpier human version but nonetheless still Emma Rockford. Ask me anything and I'll answer," I said firmly and Raina rolled her eyes and told us to get into the shed along with the rogue. We were shoved inside and I heard the door lock and cursed bitterly. Clasping my fists I started doing jumping jacks in place because of my insecurities."What
Zurac told me he'd prepare Raven a bottle when it was time for her feeding and I thanked him. He nodded and left me in the room. I laid Raven on the bed and grabbed the landline phone within the room. I dialed the operator to get connected to the USA and asked for the Relruz hotel in Vegas. Thirty minutes later I was on hold waiting for Abby to answer. Once she got on she screamed into my ear."You're not dead," she squealed and I told her everything that had happened."Well shit Em, cook for the man," she suggested and I laughed."You never had a problem getting a man, just keeping them," she told me truthfully and I groaned. She told me her and Ezra were going to visit and she'd help me kick Zurac's dumb butt. I chuckled softly and told her I needed to do it the way the moon goddess wanted in order to get Aisha back but was thankful for her friendship and advice. "Hang in there hun, you're a very beautiful and amazing woman and if he can't see that then it's truly his loss," she mum
I smoothed out my clean blouse over my much larger and unfortunately sagging breasts and examined myself in the full length mirror. My wavy chestnut hair fell all the way to my butt. I debated on whether to put it up or not and decided that it would be down after hearing Zurac tell me it was time. I exited the bedroom and glanced up at Zurac."Are we taking the Jeep?" I asked curiously and he eyed me oddly and told me yeah. I smiled and started past him and was surprised by feeling his hand splayed out on the middle of my lower back as we headed outside. I went straight to where Zurac's jeep was and waited for him to unlock the door. We both got settled and Zurac grinned at me."We're going to Biysk and it will be at least an hour drive and I'd like to ask you some questions about your claim of being my mate," he said softly. I grinned slightly and told him of course. I noticed that his eyes were glowing and cleared my throat."Your fire is shining in your eyes, might want to tone it d
Zurac took Ezra outside to speak to him about the once part demon Kenan and show off the compound. I listened attentively to Abby as she discussed going to hell to meet with the actual devil. I glanced over at her son stripping off his shirt and showing his muscles to impress my child. Raven rolled her eyes and was searching for something in the couch cushions. Moments later, Abby and I were startled by a loud yell of ouch. I gasped softly at seeing the end of an obvious fork poking out of Noah's chest. I glanced over at Raven trying to look innocent."Raven, that's not nice," I said sternly and she glared at Noah and told us he was giving her kissy lips. Abby snickered and yanked the utensil out of his flesh. She wiped away the shimmering blood and said,"he heals fast but you shouldn't hurt him too much because it tires him out." Raven headed towards the taller boy and pecked his cheek telling him sorry. His red eyes flashed and he grinned devilishly and told her it was alright. He ma
Zurac's wolf was telling my wolf for us to stay back. I was antsy and was watching Ezra and Noah tag team the one huge creature. I was being pretty entertained until I heard Abby in the distance scolding none other than my little girl who was running full speed as her fire wolf. She passed me and headed to Ezra and his son. I yelled out her name and Noah turned right when the creature swiped him across his chest causing gold spray to cover the ground he fell to. Raven growled ferociously and jumped over Noah's prone body and stomped the ground with her two tiny front paws creating a fire barrier around Noah. Her small wolf guarded him and the flames flickered on her back."Nice form daughter and you already have discovered one of our gifts with the flames. I'm impressed, daughter," Zurac announced proudly and went to help Ezra. Noah leaned back on his elbows watching Raven with narrowed eyes and a devilish grin. His eyes were bright red. Raven's eyes were on the huge beast getting re
Dr. Emma Rockford rode in the back of the uber heading to the Denver airport. She watched the scenery of the Rocky mountains pass by. Her driver wasn't very talkative and she didn't mind in the least. She was too caught up with her thoughts to engage in meaningless chit-chat with a stranger. She'd recently been hired by the United States military due to her extensive knowledge in genetics and blood studies. Emma pulled out the laminated identification card they had sent her through FedEx and her blue eyes scanned over the information. Her Helvetica bold name followed by her numerous PhDs were listed along with her high-security clearance. Getting hired one month after her husband's death had been a Godsend. She hadn't coped with the loss well of losing her high school sweetheart to a heart attack. Needless to say, she took the offered position immediately without a second thought. Dr. Emma Rockford was to be in charge of a new study involving the taxonomies and genetics of secret secu
As Brian shut the thick steel door he gestured towards the right hall and told me there was a cafeteria at the end."Are you hungry?" he asked and I shook my head and said I'd be interested in something to drink."I'm going to head back to my room and go over the files," I replied and he smiled and told me that he needed to show me the lab first then he'd take me to the cafeteria. I thanked him as I pulled out the pad of paper and added another hall to my drawn map. A few steps down the hall I could see the fluorescent lights humming in a lab. Through the glass wall, I could see Jordan and Abby both fully dressed in sterile suits so they didn't contaminate their samples. Abby noticed me and waved as she headed to the intercom. I watched the young redhead with her freckled face smile happily at seeing me."Hi dear, can't invite you in but we're about finished up and can meet with you in the cafeteria," she said quickly and I nodded with a smile. I glanced over at the older Jordan and wa
I lifted the perfectly cooked steak and put it onto the plate and plated the raw lamb for Darya and I just unthawed the chicken for Scotty."You think it should be cooked?" Abby shook her head and grabbed a couple of pudding cups and a spoon. She asked if I was ready as I loaded everything onto a large tray and told her I was. She held the door for me and we hurried quickly to my subjects before we were caught breaking protocol. I slid each of the treats in their food slots and tucked the tray under my armpit as I listened to them eat noisily. I glanced over at Enzo and he looked disturbed. I asked what was going on. He tilted his head to the side and closed his eyes."The Hunters are bringing in an Alpha," he mumbled and looked down at his sharp black nails. Tristan turned and listened attentively. The red lights and sirens started blaring and I looked at an unconcerned Abby."They do that every time they bring in a new subject. You're the only one with empty cells so it's coming here
