Parker Bennett.Dazed by the journey my brother forced me to undertake to the northern lands, I am glad it is over. Iโve been abroad for months and I just miss my bed and my space.It was a very hard time, where I could achieve what I wanted: information. Peter will be happy with everything I discovered about King Harry.I get off the plane and am pleased that William, Peterโs beta, is waiting for me.โNice to see you, Prince Parker. I hope the flight was uneventful.โI smile at him, tired, as I say, โThank you, William. Yes, it was a comfortable trip, despite the distance. Tell me, how is my grumpy brother?โI watch as William shares a nervous smile, as he says, โOur king, he has met his mate, my prince.โI stop dead. โWhat? How? When? Who is she?โTo tell the truth, I always believed that I would find her first. I always tried to take comfort in the fact that, if I wasnโt king, I would at least have my fated mate. But I see that the goddesses laugh at me once again.As his twin, we
Emma Spencer.I gasp in surprise as I see this man, extremely similar to Peter, looking at me from the doorway. He lunges at me, pinning me against the wall with his body, and pressing his hips against me. He takes my hands and places them above my head.It took me completely by surprise, but it was the sexiest thing a man has ever made me feel.Whisper in my ear, โmine.โHis touch and his breath on my skin send thousands of sparks that run through my body, making me melt before his touch, losing all notion of reasoning. I let out a moan as I closed my eyes.I feel him run his tongue over my neck, and I canโt help but bite my lip. Out of nowhere, a shocking roar resonates from the door.I turn my head and see a livid Peter looking at us from the doorway. Heโs panting heavily, and I can see heโs trying to hold back.โWhat the fuck do you think youโre doing, Parker?โI open my eyes wide, look at him and say, โParker? Who is Parker?โPeter, without leaving his place, tells me with a hoars
Peter Bennett.After chatting with Emma and having her stay with Maddie playing in the garden, we met with Parker in my office.He enters and sits on the couch, placing his legs on the table. He does it because he knows itโs something I hate.โCan you take your feet off the table? What is the matter with you?โHe rolls his eyes as he says, โYouโre no fun, Peter. Well, Iโm here. We have a lot to talk about.โI watch as the door opens, and it is William who enters, sitting on the single sofa in front of me.With William, we have the implicit deal that outside the house, he calls me boss, Mr. Bennett, or king, depending on whether we are with our people or with the humans.But inside the house, he calls us Peter and Parker since he grew up with us. He is my best friend.The three of us used to get into trouble, getting into mischief. He was always the mastermind of evacuation plans. Remembering those times makes me smile.I watch as he greets Parker with a set of hands, which they have al
Emma Spencer.Once Parker, Peter, and William assembled, they exited the office and joined us in the kitchen. Maddie and I baked cupcakes since we had agreed that we would visit Dad. Gosh, dad!โHey pumpkin! What are you doing?โ Peter tells her, with an amused smile.โSilly daddy. We are baking cupcakes. Mommy said we would see grandpa.โI watch as Peter looks at me with his eyebrow raised. โOh, yeah?โI put my hands on my waist, as I say, โDo you have something to tell me, Peter?โMaddie looks at us and says, โoh - ohโฆ daddyโs in trouble.โParker laughs as he says, โDaddy still hasnโt learned not to make Mommy angry.โMaddie laughs as she tells him, โYes. Daddy has to learn.โโHumโฆ Iโm right here, you know? You are talking like Iโm not in the kitchen.โ A grumpy Peter speaks to them.โEmma, โโI assume that if youโre baking, itโs because youโre coming with us,โ William tells me. Thereโs something strange about him. He looks at me cautiously, as if he were hiding something. I feel like h
Emma Spencer.โDad, why is my wolf asleep?โItโs a question I canโt help but ask. I watch as my father sighs as he says, โI knew this conversation would come at some point.โThat phrase makes me very nervous. Parker, sensing how I feel, sits next to me, holding my hand. He draws circles with his thumb, sending those delicious sparks throughout my body. I close my eyes, focusing on the sensation.Somehow, I hear him in my head saying, โI know you said you didnโt want physical contact, but you need us, just like we need you. Let me help you babe, because I know these calms you down.โI close my eyes and nod in silence. He tells me, โJust focus on the sparks. Let them wash over you and breathe slowly.โI do what he tells me and after a few minutes; I feel my pulse slow down. My father says to me, โAre you okay, honey?โ โOh? Yes, now I am.โ I look at Parker and whisper with a smile, โThank you.โI clear my throat as I say, โDad, just tell me. I need to know the truth.โโI suppose the kin
Peter Bennett.After the conversation at Johnโs house, we drove quickly toward the suburbs. William was an experienced driver and avoided any traffic.Once we get there, Apollo tells me, โSomethingโs not right, Peter.โโWhat are you talking about?โโSmell the air.โI do what Apollo tells me, and my instincts kick in quickly. My eyes change color and I tell the others, โSomeone from the north was here.โParker and William look at me and go into defensive mode. William tells me, โIโll check the perimeter. You two enter carefully.โWe both nodded silently. We skirt the house and enter through the kitchen.There is no need to struggle with the door since it was open. Parker tells me by mental link, โFuck! We arrived late. These bastards got ahead of us.โI growl through the link. Then I tell him. โWe go to the office.โWe walk through the house and see it all messed up. Whoever was here was looking for something. โHow the hell did they track John down so quickly?โโDonโt know. But I can t
Parker Bennett. Once Jack notified Peter that there was a strange movement at Emmaโs house, William drove at full speed, without first requesting reinforcements at Johnโs house to collect all the items that could give any indication of Emmaโs existence and Maddie. During the journey, which did not take that long, we all remained in complete silence. Each one was immersed in their own thoughts. The repercussions of all this are extensive. If Harry could move his people that quickly, it means he has people hiding here. Iโm scared to think about what could happen to Emma and Maddie. โStop thinking the worst, Parker. You always do the damn same thing.โ Fenrir tells me with a soft growl. โI canโt help but think the worst, Fenrir. Yourself saw the stupid things Harry does to people who are not loyal to him.โ โHarry feels scared. Every day, there are more people defecting or plotting against him.โ He goes on saying, โIf our world knows which Emma exists and that there is already an he
Parker Bennett.Confused to see that William is crying, holding Emmaโs photo I ask him, โWhy are you crying over Emmaโs photo?โHe, seeing that he was surprised, stood up quickly, wiping away his tears. He cracks a smile and says, โItโs nothing, Parker. Forget it.โI frown and say, โAh-ah, William. I cannot let go. Youโre crying, man! It's rare to see you cry. You didnโt even cry when your parents died.โHe sighs and says, โItโs nothing, Parker. Really.โโOkay, then answer this. Why do you have Emmaโs photo in your hands?โโGod damn it, Parker! Can you just let it go? I do not want to talk about it!โI sigh and say, โOkay. Iโll let it goโฆfor now.โHe nods silently. He clears his throat and says, โI found two suitcases that we can use to store the girlsโ belongings.โHe leaves the photo on the bed and takes one suitcase. He hands me the biggest one and says, โYou should put all of Emmaโs things in here. Iโll go put Maddieโs belongings away.โI nodded silently and watched him leave the
Warren Foster.One year laterโฆThe time Iโve been away from Emma has been so hard. Every night I have felt her pain. My chest tightened, feeling the damaged bond.Every night I have felt absolutely helpless.It was so difficult knowing that your mate needed you and not being able to be with her. Every once in a while, Emma would force the mateโs bond to reach me...I gave in for a few moments to make her feel that I was okay. But I always ended up closing it completely.There has not been a day or night that I have not missed everything about her. I get the impression we fought a lot, since Emma is just as stubborn.But I knew meโฆ I was too stubborn to give in. I knew deep down that if I couldnโt remember how I was able to accept them, then everything we had been through would have been in vain.No... I had to remember... I was hopeless about achieving it.In recent months, I have not only dedicated myself to tracking down traitors. I have also undergone every type of known therapy or
Third point of view.5 months later.After Warren and Emmaโs heartbreaking separation, their lives went their separate ways.Warren went north and took his sister Wilma, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the act of treason towards the heir to the throne.Every so often, he contacted Peter to see how Emma was doing. During this time, Warren dedicated himself to tracking and hunting down all traitors to the crown. Elder Sullivan was the first to fall.Due to all the events that occurred, the political map of their worlds changed drastically.It was agreed that there would be a queen who would decide in all areas, accompanied by the council of elders, and would always have 4 mates, which could be fated or chosen. Each of them would be in charge of a cardinal point: north, south, east, and west.Each pack that was at these points must report to their Alpha King.The royal pack changed and was in the center of the map. Its inhabitants were only Lycans originally belonging to both
Emma Spencer.After Warren talked with Damon for over three hours, I left him in his room to rest. Then I went to the intensive care wing and sat in the waiting room to get some news about my fatherโs health.There were Parker and William.They both saw me coming and sat next to me. Silently, they traced circles on my hands, accompanied by a soft purr, allowing me to remain calm.I hadnโt seen my father since Harry had caught me, so I did not know what his true injuries were.They both respected that I didnโt feel like talking, so they stayed with me in silence, while I was immersed in my thoughts... alone.When I asked the beta why it took so long, he said he told him everything we had been through together.Yes. Weโve been through a lot.What I still donโt understand is why the goddesses have abandoned me... During all the recent events, none of them have shown their face. What the fuck have they been doing up there? Did they know everything that would happen and they felt sorry for
Warren Foster.I opened my eyes, after having been unconscious for I donโt know how long. It was difficult for me to do it, because of the light in the room.I frowned as I looked at the gorgeous face of the woman who was in front of me, examining me. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.And without waiting, I asked her, โWho are you? Do I know you?โHonestly, I remembered nothing. I didnโt even know my name. I saw that, on the other side, there was a man who shouted, โDoctor!โWho were all these people? I asked myself.โWell, I donโt know who they are, but I remember you are Warren Foster.โ A voice spoke inside my head.I frowned. โWho are you?โ I told the voice.โDamn! Donโt you remember me either? Letโs see if this refreshes your memory...โAnd like a fast movie, the voice showed me many images of my life.I felt as if all these experiences were overwhelming me, because of the intensity or the emotional charge behind them.All those images became memories... but in no
Emma Spencer.I could not control my tears. Martha was lifeless in my arms.I put my hands on her neck and invoked all my power. I felt how its warmth enveloped me and came out through my hands, like soft waves.I watched as, with each pulse, the torn flesh came together. This, until I looked at my mate.Seeing Warren collapse in front of me made my blood run cold. I think his face will be with me forever, as I notice Ezra wounded him with the same dagger that was supposed to take the betaโs life.โIโm sorry, woman.โ He said. Making my heart stop.I shouted his name as I set Martha down on the ground, lying down. The only thing that was on my mind was to get to him.His eyes were closed, with his hands placed on his stomach. The dagger that Ezra wounded him with was doused with the three liquids that Peter kept in his office.โWarren! Damn it!โ Peter cursed, as he put Wilma down and helped me with Warren.โHis wound wonโt heal, Peter!โโIt is the effect of poisons. We have to take him
Emma Spencer.With his face pale and completely taken aback by the situation we were in, Warren whispered to Peter, โItโs Wilma!โI frowned and said, โWait, your sister Wilma?โHe nodded silently, while Peter gestured with his index finger at us to shut up.โCome here! Babyโฆ Let me feel you! Humโฆ What a nice piece of ass you have!โ Ezra told her while we listened behind the door as he slapped her butt.Honestly, none of the three of us understood anything. Wilma was supposed to hate Ezra and want to make him pay, but here she was just seconds away from being rammed by him?โAh โ ah โ ahโฆ move your claws away, Ezra. You and I have unfinished business, and if you want to fuck me again, I suggest you sit down and keep your cock in your pants.โNow the three of us frown. I opened the mental link and said, โDo any of you understand anything? Because frankly, I understand nothing.โPeter said, โLetโs hear what theyโre talking about. We canโt do anything until we have verbal confirmation tha
Peter Bennett.Life had changed us drastically. Gone were the days where our biggest problem was finding our fated mate.Now, we had to deal with bigger problems: Maddie.I still couldnโt understand how that... monster had entered the pack and, above all, find my little girlโs whereabouts.Itโs all so... strange! We have spent months with the queenโs guard and they have showed their potential and power. They are very good. No matter how much I try to think about it, it doesnโt seem to me they have been defeated.And if he thought about Martha and Elizabeth, who together were a force of nature, the odds of them being defeated were very low. As much as I thought about it, something smelled terrible.And that the son of a bitch told Emma to wait until she saw what he did to John and Jenny? When they could keep her safe for thirty years!No, it was too easy. Why was Ezra able to get in that so easily? And what bothers me even more is that I havenโt been able to communicate with anyone. It
Emma Spencer. Hearing my little girlโs voice made time to slow down. It felt like everything was in slow motion. Her sobs would be something that would torment me forever. I wasnโt there to protect her. โBaby girl, itโs mommy... Iโll go get you, do you hear me? Your daddy and I will come for youโฆ You have to resist, darling. Remember what you learned!โ It was the only thing I said to her when I heard they took away the phone. โWhatโs going on, Emma? Is Maddie okay?โ Peter growled next to me. โTell me right now who you are!โ I shouted, not knowing the voice that came out of me. โI told you, bitch. Who I am is irrelevant. What you should know is that the guards left to protect her failed in their taskโฆโ โWhat the fuck are you talking about?โ โAhโฆ and your parentsโฆ ha ha haโฆ I canโt wait for you to come back and see with your eyes what I did with themโฆโ In a second, I felt like my life was going to hell... my daughter, my parents... Who the hell was this damn sick pers
Emma Spencer.โWarren?โ I whispered to him, as if I was just coming out of a trance that had my mind clouded.He frowned, looked at me as if he didnโt recognize me, and asked, โWhat happened to this place?โThe little light there was in the space went out, leaving us in absolute darkness. With his eyes lost, he whispered to me, โItโs cold.โAnd at that moment, I understood that my beloved had given up. I yelled at him, โWarren? Oh, no! My Goddess, no, pleaseโฆ WARREN!โI pulled at him, tears pouring out like waterfalls. โPlease, darlingโฆ Donโt leave me! SOMEONE HELP ME!! Warren, stay with me! I will fight, I swear I will never give up againโฆ But stay by my side!โI hugged him tightly to my chest. I closed my eyes hard and, following my instinct, I invoked all my power, which took us to another place... a warm one, one that promised us well-being.I donโt know how much time passed, but an incessant beep could be heard next to me. Voices were talking about topics I didnโt know about... I
