What are you really after?” Steve demanded as he glared at Long. “Why do you want to help so badly? What do you hope to gain from all these things you are doing?”

“Being distrustful is not a good look on you, Kane,” Long mused as she made herself comfortable. She was sitting in on a lone cushion in Steve’s house with a glass of wine in one of her hands.

“I do not really care how I look to you, dragon,” Steve spats angrily. “All you need to be aware of is that I do not trust you at all.”

“After everything I have done to keep you and Emma alive, I am surprised that you still think that I am your enemy.” Long said in an offended tone.

“Why?” Steve asked in a low tone. “You knew my father, you know Emma’s father, you know quite a lot of people for a dragon and it is fucking suspicious.”

“It is not my fault that I am immortal, Kane,” Long said offhandedly.

Emma who was busy looking out the window was very worried after her tense-filled discussion with the old council elders. She knew that

    Emma knew that what ever attacked Steve was not ordinary. Even after it left, she still felt traces of dark magic in the house and it was very heavy.Inwardly, Emma was in full panic mode but she did not show it. Years of medical training had kicked in as she tended to the Alpha's wounds.Steve was going cold and his pulses were slowing down drastically. Whatever attacked him wanted him dead and Emma was surprised at how effective it was.She knew exactly who was behind it and vowed inwardly that they were going to pay. The bleeding had to be stopped first but Emma knew that she needed her needles to because regular first aid was not going to work.She reached into her satchel and picked out an acupressure point needles and inserted three of them close to Steve's wound. It stopped the bleeding immediately.She did the same thing to the right arm. Then she inserted another needle into his sternum area to manipulate the heat from his werewolf core to spread throughout his body. This way

    “You have no reason to be afraid, Emma,” Steve assured the healer that he loved. “In my home, you are safe.” Emma was not afraid for her life; she was terrified for the men who thought that they had a chance against the Alpha. They had no idea what he was capable of.Marcus and Long were still present in the hall and they themselves felt that something was about to happen.It was Hawke with the rest of the Council. The old man had a worried look on his face as he approached Steve with his entourage.Emma felt the deep seethed rage from the remaining two women and men as they frostily stopped in the front of Steve.“I am guessing by the looks on their faces that your other council members are not happy to see me,” Steve replied dryly.“It would seem so, Alpha Kane,” Hawke replied in a tired manner. “My council members here have a little problem with you.”“And what would that be?” Marcus asked already frowning.“Stay out of this Beta,” The first council woman spat coldly. “This matter

    The question threw Emma off-guard. Sure, it came from an innocent inquisitive little girl but it held a weight that almost rocked the healer of her feet and she was not sure how to answer that.“Not yet, young cub,” Marcus answered with a light chuckle. “Doctor, Emma is here as a guest and she is also here to help us against the virus.”Steve had an unreadable look on his face as he watched how Emma reacted to the question but he said nothing. He could not put a title on what they were currently but he knew that Emma did not see him as her Alpha just yet. There was still a lot of things he needed to do to make her see that he was the one for her.“Let us move on to the next matter at hand,” Council Elder Hawke announced, diverting attention back to himself. “We are aware of how dire things are outside and just how far the virus has spread. What are the measures we need to take to protect ourselves from the infected should they arrive at our door step.”“My partnership with Alpha Kane

    The meeting was taking place at the Hall of the First Ones. It was a large building installed with long chairs and a podium. It was one the oldest building in Sterling Creek. Legend has it that it was where the first werewolves stood at when they migrated here.The hall was filled to brim with leaders of different werewolf factions. Clan leaders. A nervous murmur filled the atmosphere as Steve walked in. Emma had been a bit confused about following him there because she was not a member but Steve had let her know that she was a huge part of his pack whether she believed it or not.Emma had felt butterflies in her stomach as those kind words left Steve’s mouth. All eyes fell on both of them as they stepped onto the high podium. There was a throne like chair carved into the wall on top of the podium. A seat meant for the Alpha but Steve had no intention of seating on that stone chair nor was he interested in seating down at all.Emma recognized so many seated female werewolves and child

    The moment the bathroom door closed behind them, it was like the outside world disappeared. The war, the monsters, the council, Mason—all of it faded into fog as thick and heavy as the steam curling from the faucet.Emma turned the knobs, letting the hot water pour into the oversized tub carved into the stone floor. The room smelled faintly of mint and mountain pine. The tiles glistened under the warm lights embedded in the wooden ceiling, casting golden halos on her skin.Steve didn’t say a word.He watched her.The soft clink of her boots coming off. The zip of her jacket. The way her shirt slipped over her head, revealing skin marked with faint bruises from battle. She peeled off her pants next, revealing her long, muscled legs and the soft curve of her hips.Her underwear followed.She turned, eyes burning into his. “Are you just going to stand there like a statue?”He didn’t move. Not until she stepped into the bath. The water rippled around her, covering her thighs, her waist, u

    The stench of death followed them home. Emma and Steve knew that Mason, wherever he was still lived. They had witnessed first-hand what she the mad Alliance Alpha was capable of. He needed to be stopped.As the helicopter soared through the clouds, Steve knew that he owed his life to the Dragon and he hated it so much. However, he knew that without Lady Long, he would have died. But he still was not happy about it. The Sterling Alpha did not like being indebted to people.Emma saw that the destruction had affected almost half of the city. She saw military armour tanks and lots of soldiers. Numerous barricades had demarcated the city to keep the infected cornered in one place. The whole horrible scene was a glaring statement that Mason Laurent was behind this.The healer thought of the packs that had been affected and was certain that Mason was not going to stop until he infected all the werewolves of the world. She was not going to let that happen no matter how many ugly and powerful

    "I know your secret, Steve," The grotesque looking head of Mason croaked. "My virus has no effect on your pack and I do not know why." Steve shivered in fear. "When I kill you, I am going to find out why." The sixth new head said with a cold mad glee. The winged monster turned to Emma. "Come with me, Doctor. There is no victory for you here. You have no other choice." Emma said nothing as she thought deeply. She could do nothing except think neck the options she had was fear and surrender. "I would rather die than to go anywhere with you," Emma spat despite how scared she was. Faced with two different kinds of monsters, she knew that this was where everything would end. But somehow, something was telling her not to give up. Six Head, formerly known Five Head slowly stalked forward, enjoying the fear that Emma and Steve was going through. "The taste of your fears is driving me wild, Doctor," Mason's head spoke. Emma and Steve knew that there was nowhere to run but yet

    The rooftop roared with chaos.Five Head lunged blindly, each of its five mouths dripping saliva and blood as it searched for them. The sounds of the helicopter above were a dull thrum beneath the monster’s bone-rattling growl.Emma, crouched low, glanced at Steve. “If it’s tracking by vibration, we need to be ghosts.”“Not possible,” Marcus groaned. Blood trickled from his temple where he’d hit the wall earlier. “That thing is wired for war.”Suddenly, the helicopter swooped in closer. A spotlight flared, illuminating the beast. The gunner didn’t hesitate—massive rounds tore into Five Head’s back, jerking the monster mid-charge.It screamed.Not from pain.From rage.Bullets shredded muscle and bone—but the thing wouldn’t go down.“We need to help them!” Steve shouted. “We hit it now, together!”Emma pulled out three silver-tipped needles, eyes narrowing. “Aim for the faces!”Steve’s claws burst free, and Marcus—still limping—shifted fully, snarling as he bounded toward the beast.Th
