Emma’s POV     Clock says 1:30 am on the nightstand. No one should be up. I gently open the bedroom door, trying to breathe as quietly as humanly possible. “I think I remember where it is, come on Mor”. We sneak down the hall, glancing at the alpha’s door- praying it doesn’t open. Making my way to the stairs, thank heavens they’re stone and less likely to creak. Slinking down the stairs, through the great room and dining room and through the kitchen door, I freeze in my tracks. Alpha is sitting at the kitchen top.      Liam’s POV      I hear steps and quickly spin around to see Emma with a terrified look on her face. I instantly notice she is only wearing a silk pajama top that is long enough to cover her b

     With that, there is parade after parade of never ending clothes. Some I liked, some I definitely did not. I have no sense of style though. After all, I can’t remember a full set of clothing I had owned on my own. My stomach begins to rumble. “Come dear, let’s get some lunch”.      “Grace, where has Zak been this whole time?”. “Oh, he’s here and there”. She scoops up my elbow and we head for a cafe in the store. This place is FANCY. We’re served tea and salad, an odd combination. But they were both delicious. Grace treated me to a chocolate chip cookie and oh the stars. It melted in my mouth. “Mor, I think our favorite food is chocolate”.      Interrupting my thoughts, “Emma, when you are around Liam, does he smell any parti

      Emma’s POV     My mind is whirling. I cannot believe that he is my mate. “Why would an alpha want to mate with a rogue?”, I asked confused. She comes and sits next to me. “Emma, mates are not by choice. It’s in your DNA. You are his perfect match. Selene made it so”.      My mom had talked about Selene from time to time but I wasn’t aware of the whole ‘mate’ thing. “Em, I tried telling you gently that he is our mate. This is a good thing! You will be a luna!”. I choked on Morg’s words. A luna?! Oh dear lord. I can’t even pick an outfit, let alone run a pack. Once again, grace could see the struggle on my face.      “You must walk before you run. With that,

      Emma’s POV     I am so excited to go for a walk. I desperately need some fresh mountain air. I put on what I think will be enough clothes until I step out into the brisk air. Oh lord it is colder than I expected. I turn to head to the room and Liam steps out. “Are you coming too?” I asked in a surprised tone. “I was planning on it unless it’s like a girls’ thing” he says smiling. “Oh definitely not, I just wasn’t sure”. He could tell I was cold, probably because of my nipples and quickly covered my chest. He strips off his hoodie and drapes it over my head and down my body. “No, you will freeze” I beg. “I go running in this weather without a shirt on. I am fine”. The sweatshirt smelled heavenly. I think he caught me sniffing it and just smiled at me. 

      Emma’s POV     I’m staring at a large black box except it’s very thin and stuck to the wall. I have never seen anything like it. With the click of a button I hear booming surrounding us. I look around swiftly and Liam lets out a giggle. “It’s called surround sound. You keep staring at the screen but you can hear the sounds all around us”.      He told me we were watching his sister’s favorite movie, something called “Twilight”. “Is it about dusk or something?”. Again, he grins massively, trying not to laugh at me. “Baby, no.” There it is again. ‘Baby’? I kind of smiled at him, not knowing what to say or do.      I set my cocoa down. He is sitting fai
