Emma's eyebrows were pinched tightly together in deep thought. She chewed absentmindedly on her finger as she paced up and down the room.After they had left the Alpha's office and were escorted back to their rooms, Emma couldn't stop thinking about what the Alpha had said.What exactly did he mean when he said she'd be of great use in the future? He had a calculating look in his eyes that was hard to miss.What use could she possibly be to them that they were willing to keep her protected within the pack? At least for now they weren't holding her against her will.‘Yet, why did she feel leaving wasn't going to be easy either?’ Something was definitely amiss. She thought. She could feel it.Emma wrapped a protective hand around her belly. In a few months, her baby bump would begin to show. ‘Could she stay here till that time?’The Alpha hadn't mentioned anything about her pregnancy but she would be foolish to think he wasn't aware given that was the reason for her banishment in the fi
Later that evening, the faint sound of music drew Emma and Tyler out of their rooms as they gazed at each other in confusion.“Where's that sound coming from?” Emma asked curiously as she peered down the hallway.“Let's go find out” Tyler urged as he made his way down the hallway.“Wait a moment!” Emma hissed as she rushed forward and stopped him. “How could you just go, we don't know what could be the cause for the sound. That's why we were given rooms, to keep us safe”“Then are we just going to stay here and and keep wondering? We’re never going to know if we don't look” Tyler said with a smirk.“What if we are invading on someone's privacy?” Emma asked worriedly. “Then you can stay here” Tyler said as he walked off.“But I'm too scared to stay alone” Emma muttered as she looked around the dark hallway. Willow wasn't even in sight. She ran after Tyler.She caught him turning the corner and hurried up to meet him. “You shouldn't have left me alone” she said, panting heavily.“I knew
Tyler sat on the cold floor of the dungeon they were thrown in, he was holding his knees whilst trying hard not to make his teeth's chatter since it was so cold. He looked at Emma, who had her face in her hands. She had not spoken for some time. The dungeon was dark and the air was choking making it a worse plight for them. There was no light except a small crack from the top.“I told you,” Tyler said, his voice quiet but firm.Emma looked up. “Told me what?”Tyler looked at Emma as if she had suddenly grown two heads. His face turned serious or rather it was serious from the start. "I told you not to trust him. I warned you not to trust Damien but you didn't listen to me."Emma held her head as she slowly rubbed her eyes. "I thought he was helping. I thought he really cared for us and wanted to lend his help. I didn’t know."“He never cared,” Tyler replied. “He used you. He tricked you and now, thanks to you we’re in a dungeon because of you," Tyler said.Emma looked at the walls. It
Ever stood outside the house, holding her breath. She looked around, making sure no one followed her. She fixed her hair, fixed her dress, then knocked softly. The guards, knowing who she was, had let her into the house.So she knocked again on the door to the room of the twins but there was no answer. She knocked again, and louder this time.“Go away!” one of the twins shouted from inside.“It’s me! Ever!” she called back. “Please let me come in." “We know! We know it's you Ever! Go away!” Kale said. “We don't want you anywhere around us, just leave and go about your life." “I came to talk! Please, just open the door!” Ever shouted.“No! We don’t want to see you!” Jayden replied. “Are you deaf that you can understand something simple as leave, we don't want to talk to you or have you anywhere around us." “I just want to talk about Emma! Please! I’m not here to fight!” Ever begged the more.The door stayed closed but they kept quiet and they didn't say anything. “I want to say sor
Emma sat on the bed. She looked at the walls, she felt she was confined just like she was in the dungeon except the room was warm, and there was a bed and other things. She rubbed her arms slowly while taking in the room."Stop talking," she had said earlier to the man. She had shouted it. She had told the man to stop it, to stop explaining everything he was saying.The man bowed again and said, "As you wish, my queen."Then he left and others followed. They gave her a room, the room she was in. It was a large one, soft bed, tall windows, nice curtains.Emma sat there now and her mind ran in circles."Why? Why is all this happening? Did I offend someone? Can't I have peace without something strange happening to me? What kind of life is this?" she whispered.She touched her forehead. Her thoughts were heavy and her eyes looked tired. Her head rang like it had been hit by a metal."First I left the pack, I was banished from the pack for a crime I didn't commit and that was all because o
Jayden sat on the couch, arms crossed. Kale stood near the window, staring outside. They both seem to be in deep thought, the expression on their face showed they have been contemplating about a threatening matter for long.Jayden spoke first “Weird, right?” Jayden said. “Why don’t I feel anything toward Emma anymore?”Kale nodded. He stood up, paced the floor.“Same here,” Kale said. “It’s like my heart just stopped liking her.”Jayden said. “I don’t get it. She keeps showing in my mind. It’s not normal. Maybe… maybe she’s the real one.”"Ever is everything right? She’s smart, strong, calm, gentle and nice, she's everything in a woman right? But why don’t I feel... drawn to her?”Kale turned. “You mean, like how we felt about Emma?”Jayden nodded. “Yeah. It’s like something’s missing. I don't understand what it is but it feels like a part of me is missing.”Kale scratched his head. “You know what you said got me thinking about something. What if Ever is not the problem here? What if
Jayden and Kale stared at each other and let out a sigh. Kale gave Jayden a nod meaning he was the one to put Lilly and not him. Jayden narrowed his eyes at him before taking a step towards Lilly.“Hey Lilly, this is nothing to be pissed off about, we are just going to Emma's house and nothing more." Jayden said, trying to pacify her but she still had her hands crossed over her breast and her face looking out of the window.Kale decided to chip in. “Okay, lilly tell us what you want and we will have it done immediately." Lily turned her gaze to them and released her hand's. “You want me to tell you what I want? How about you start by telling me again the reason you are going to Emma's house. What are you even looking for at Emma’s house? You won't see her, she was banished and it is not like she's going to sneak into the pack and go hiding in her parents house. They won't go against the pack rules, you both know that.”Jayden sighed. “We already told you. We’re not going back to Emm
Jayden and Kale ignored her and pretended they didn't hear say something. Lily looked at her brother and turned their faces to ours , they looked surprised she would do that but didn't reprimand her. “I asked a question, So? You didn’t answer me.”Jayden replied fast. “No. We are not fascinated by her of course. Do we need to reply to that question where as you know the answer to it. She’s not our mate.”Kale said at the same time, “Not even close to it.”Lily raised her eyebrows. “You sure? Are you sure you are not fascinated by my friend?”Jayden nodded. “Very sure. There's no second thought about it, we don't like her. You don't expect us to, she's not our marer, lilly.”Kale added, “We don’t feel anything for her, as simple as that.”Lily smirked. “Not even a little? Not even a tiny heart beat at the sight of her?”Jayden frowned. “Lily, don’t push it.”Kale said, “We’re not cheaters, we can and won't chest on our rightful mate with someone else.”Lily crossed her arms. “But your
Tyler and Jack surrounded Emma curiously as they waited patiently for their Queen to elaborate more about her plan.“Tyler” she called out in a serious tone. “Arrange a meeting with the Faes. Tell them we are ready to surrender”“What? Are you out of your mind?” Tyler asked in disbelief. “My Queen, are you really sure about what you're saying?” Jack asked with concern etched all over his face.“Yes, I am sure about this. I wouldn't be saying so if I wasn't. Now, ask no more and do as I've instructed” Emma said, her tone taking an irritated edge.“But at least fill us in on what you plan to do if we arrange the meeting with the Faes. You can't just leave us out of this” Tyler said in a frustrated sigh.“My plan is to arrange a meeting with them and hold them hostage till they release my son”“Meanwhile, we can't let them know what we're planning to do to them. To them, it will be just a meeting”Tyler's lips parted in shock. He was about to say more when a maid suddenly burst into the
“Shawn” Emma wailed in agony as she fell helplessly to the floor. She was too late. If only she had come a few minutes earlier she could have saved her son.Tears rolled down her cheeks as Emma looked at the empty room for any traces of her Shawn but it was empty aside from the lifeless body of the maid she had assigned to protect him.The maid was on her back with eyes wide open. A long slit had been made on her neck where blood flowed out of, making a small poodle on the floor.Emma bit her lips and crawled to the maid's side. With one deep breath, she placed a hand over her eyes and closed them.As soon as she was done, she broke down, sobbing once again. If this was the fate of her maid, then what was going to happen to her son? She couldn't dare to think about it.“My Queen, please calm down one of her waiting maids," pleaded. “I believe the young master would be alright. You have to be strong if you want to see him again” She reasoned.Emma knew her maid's words made sense and a
Jack stood there, breathing hard. His eyes were wild.Emma stared at him. "What do you mean? What do you mean there’s an attack?" She rushed out hoping it was her ear having issues but little did she know it was real and she was in for a shocker.Jack wiped his forehead. "It’s real, Alpha. They came from nowhere. It was a sudden attack and we don’t know how. It’s sudden."Emma’s mouth dropped open. "How is that possible? How can they just attack like that without us knowing? Don't you think something is wrong in your information? Something we don't know?"Jack shook his head fast. "I don’t know, Alpha. We didn't miss anything. It’s like they just appeared out of nowhere and then they are there, staging the attack.”Emma looked at Tyler. Her heart raced fast, like it would jump out of her chest. She could not believe this but Jack could not be telling a lie. If he said they attacked suddenly, then they did so and needed to act fast before the attack got rough.Tyler moved closer upon n
On the second day, Emma sat on her bed, staring at the window. Her head hurt terribly as she didn't sleep much last night. She rubbed her eyes and continued looking out of the window. She had been quiet all morning. She didn’t feel like talking to anyone. She didn’t even eat her breakfast. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Before she could say anything, the door opened and a maid walked in, carrying Shawn in her arms. The little boy was crying loudly that even the windows seemed to shake. His face was wet and red and his small hands kept hitting the maid’s shoulders as he wailed, his feet's kicking the air and occasionally her thighs.“Miss Emma,” the maid said in a hurry, “I tried to calm him. He keeps crying and won't stop doing it. I don't know what to do. I have tried everything possible to pet him but it seems he wants only you.”Emma stared at the both of them for a while contemplating whether to just chase both the maid and her son away or collect him from her. Sh
Five years later,Emma Sinclair had given birth to a bouncing baby boy who had a striking resemblance to her.It was her son's fourth birthday party and they were currently in a mansion throwing a grand party for him. The hall was filled with werewolves and cinder wolves who were here to grace the occasion.Emma was seated high in her throne, her face elegant and perfect. She had matured over the years and she had the glow of a mother and queen. She was a beauty to behold as several wolves cast admiring glances in her direction.But of course, her attention wasn't on them as she gazed at a little figure dancing at the center of the room. Her eyes shone with pride as she watched son dancing with his friends.‘Her son,’ she thought. She had done all in her power to protect him and she would continue to do so until her last breath. This throne, this legacy would be passed on to him when she was gone.Emma was no longer the weak wolf people knew her to be, instead that entity had been rep
After the twins had gone, Ava turned angrily to her mother. “Mom, what were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed. How good will you be to Emma if you're dead”“Shut up” her mother growled. “Don't act like you care about your sister. We all know you are happy that she's no longer here,” she revealed. “The twins are gone so quit the act”“Mom,” Ava said in disbelief. “Is that what you think of me? Don't you think that my alliance with the twins could be the only way we might get Emma back? I could persuade the twins to bring Emma back,” she added.“I would be a fool if I believed you, Ava,” Mrs Sinclair said. “I know you have no good intentions towards Emma. You're just saying all these because you don't want me to cause a scene or disrupt your love affair” she scoffed.‘Damn’ Ava thought. “How could her mom see through all her plans? She had to use a different tactic or her mom was going to ruin everything”She rubbed her cheek that still stung slightly and forced tears
Suddenly, the room was filled with an ear piercing laughter. It was Mrs Sinclair! She laughed like a mad woman and her sudden outburst caused everyone to turn in her direction.When she finally calmed down, she wiped the corner of her eyes and turned to the twins, her expression turning concerned.“Are you both okay? Are you in your right senses?” she asked worriedly.The twins felt insulted by her comment and they flared up immediately. “What do you mean by that?" Jayden growled. “Are you insulting us?”Mrs Sinclair shook her head quickly. “Of course not. I'm just stating the obvious. Because if truly you're in your right senses you wouldn't come here telling me Ava is your mate after impregnating Emma”“Mom” Ava yelled. “Please calm down” “Don't tell me to calm down, you slut!” she warned. “How could you be so cruel, so shameless”“Mrs Sinclair” Jayden growled. “You have no idea what you're saying,” he added. “Ohh” she scoffed. “Then please enlighten me, sir”Jayden’s eyes hardened
“Hii” Ava said breathlessly as she stared at the twins, not believing her eyes. They were actually really here to see her. Her lips widened on their own accord. She couldn't have been happier.She gripped the door handle tightly, struggling to breathe properly as the twins watched with interest, knowing their presence was having an effect on her.“You're really in my house" she blurted out and the twins smirked. “Yes we are. We're here to see you” Jayden spoke clearly.“Here to see me” Ava repeated, her cheeks heating as she gazed deeply at the twins.“How are you?” Kale couldn't help but ask as he watched a flushed Ava. In his eyes, she was the most lovely creature he'd ever seen.Jayden on the other hand couldn't explain how he was feeling. How could Ava be so different from that vile Emma? One sister was sweet and lovely while the other was wicked and cunning. ‘What a contrast’ he thought.‘The antidote must be working’ Ava thought with a smile. The days of her becoming Luna had b
