Alex's POV  It's 7 am and I'm heading to Jake's office for the meeting and after only 2 hours of sleep, you would think that I'd be dead on my feet but I'm not I'm fucking high on life right now and enjoying every single memory of my night with Emma.  We're officially mates, yes I know we were already but being marked is permanent and I'm so fucking happy I could shit rainbows! Don't get me wrong I happily could have stayed in bed for a lot longer but we all agreed to an early meeting and there's no chance in hell of me regretting staying up until 5 am making love to my beautiful mate. Speaking of my mate I left her pretty little head sleeping soundly in bed. After we marked each other I got another 2 rounds out of her before we finally went to sleep so she's bound to be worn out and I fucking love it.  I step inside the office at the same time as Theo and everyone else is already here. "Good morning my sons, Theo how's Savannah this mornin

Emma's pov Today is the day of the Alpha ceremony and I must admit I am looking forward to it, things have been an absolute nightmare around here these past few weeks and I can't wait to blow off some steam. Well everything has been a nightmare aside from me and Alex that is, our relationship is incredibly strong considering its only been a few weeks and despite it only being 4 days since we marked each other the mate bond is strong already and I couldn't be anymore happier with how things are between us. "You ready sweetheart?" Alex calls out to me from the bedroom while I'm in the closet just finishing up getting ready for the day. Usually, on the day of a ball, the girls will head into town for hair and nail appointments but because Savannah needs to take it easy we thought it would be best to arrange someone to come out to the house to see to us but, of course, Savannah being her usual stubborn self wouldn't have any of it and gilt tripped us all into g

Beta Alex's pov  Emily? She takes another step towards us before looking up slightly and it's without a doubt Emily but what the fuck has happened to her? She is naked, dirty and I swear I can smell blood in the air. She's got her arms wrapped around herself and she's shaking so hard I'm surprised she can stand up and I instantly feel anger burn through my veins, this girl is like a little sister to me and I'm going to tear apart whoever ever has done this to her! "MATE MINE!" My head shoots to the left of me when I hear the words and the confusion that's on both Levi and Logan's faces as they growl out the words is mirrored on everyone else's too. Holy fuck!  "Mate mine!" Emily whispers the words out and if it wasn't for werewolf earing there's no way anyone would have heard her.  "Emily, what happened to you?" Levi talks gently to her as he slowly takes a step towards her but stops when she cowers away from him.  "Please

Emily's povThe moment the twins step into the room Holly starts purring in my head, my heart starts pounding and despite all the pain and fear that I feel all I want to do is run to them and feel the comfort that only my mate can give me, that my mates can give me but I can't, the fear is too strong and it's not just that, the reality is they may not even want me. Why would they? I'm just an Omega and they are Alphas.I've never been a strong Omega but right now I'm weaker than ever or at least I feel weaker than ever and I know that there's a huge chance of them rejecting me which is why I agreed to see them today. If they are going to reject me then I want them to do it now while I'm already hurting, that way I can just deal with all the pain at once. I put my attention back on to the twins as they stand over the other side of the room, both looking at me but none of them saying anything. I quickly realise that I am being rude as I should have stood whe

Beta Emma's pov  I'm so happy that Emily and my brothers are going to figure things out, I know that they will be good to her with everything that has gone on and I know that she will come through everything because she is incredibly strong. It may seem small but even watching a horror movie just days after she came home just shows how strong she is and I know that everyone in this room is proud of her. I also didn't miss her holding hands with both of my brothers during the movie and again that's another sign of her strength because I know inside she would feel terrified of close contact with any men right now including her mates but still, she's pushing herself to try and my brothers are being incredible in giving her space and respecting her needs. The movie ends with Mia hiding her face in Noah's chest and me doing the same with Alex while Emily is covering her eyes and Levi and Logan both fight not to comfort her. Someone puts the lights on and I fi
