In the living room, Lia served coffee for the two of them. They were both sitting on the couch, still tense and nervous. Emily was quiet the whole thirty minutes after Nia locked herself in her bedroom, her hands cold and sweaty. “Nia is a good child. I know she’ll understand, Em,” Lia said to comfort her, giving her a tiny smile. “You’ve been with Emily and Nia for six years, helping and supporting them,” Lucian said as she looked at Lia. “Thank you for being there for them when I can’t man up enough, Lia.” “It’s an honor to become Emily’s family, Alpha Lucian.” She smiled. “She’s the reason why my sister is still alive, and I vowed to stay loyal to Emily for the rest of my life.” Lucian nodded and smiled at Lia. Lia took a sigh and looked upstairs. “It’s been almost half an hour. I wonder if Elle was able to make her calm down.” Nia considered Elle as her big sister. Elle was the only one she allowed to enter her room, and after that, the three adults had no idea what happene

Lucian smiled as he watched Nia sleeping on her tiny pink bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he still could not believe that Emily had given birth to an adorable little girl, and that kid was his own blood. His hand reached the duvet, tucking Nia in. When he first found out that he and Emily had a child, he felt mixed emotions that welled inside his chest. He had no idea how to be a father, to act like a father that a child could be proud of. Lucian thought it was given to feel that way because he grew up having a father who manipulated and hurt him, and the thought that he could do the same thing to Nia scared him the most. That's why he did not make a move despite knowing the truth and wanting to win Emily back. He was damn scared Nia's life would be ruined because of him. But now that he already found courage and followed what his heart truly wanted, he was the happiest Lycan in the world. Emily and Nia made him complete and genuinely excited about the future. His principles in

"I suggest you relax, Em," Lia suggested with a smile. They were in the living room, watching the television, but Emily could not pay attention. She kept looking at her phone, waiting for Lucian's text message or call. It had been a week since he left for some pack affairs, and Emily hadn't heard from him since then. He sent him a few text messages, but those even went on read at all. "It's just weird for him to not check his phone for that long," Emily reasoned. "Do you think there's a problem in the pack right now? I can't help but worry.""It's impossible. Your husband's pack is the strongest, and he and Tyler can surely handle problems in the pack," Lia assured her, passing the popcorn on her. Emily smiled a bit, but the worry remained in her chest, or maybe she just really missed him. She didn't know. The feelings she had for Lucian went deeper and stronger, and her mind seemed only to know nothing but scream Lucian's name. It was cringed, but that's how she described it. "Le

Emily was enraged. Her eyes were bloodshot, and all she thought about was killing the alpha who she was seated on when Laura screamed to stop her. "Emily, no! We still need him to track Lucian!" said Laura. Her chest went up and down, her hand stopped in the air, and deep within, she wanted to go on. But hearing Laura's words, her mind was again filled with chaos. Before Alpha Ray could land a punch on her, she hit him on the neck as hard as she could, targeting his nerves to immobilize him. Three Lycan warriors came to her when she stood up. "Luna!" They all bowed their heads as a form of respect. "Take him. Please do everything you can so he won't escape. We still need him," she ordered. The Lycan warriors were quick to follow Emily's command. Her gaze followed them as they left, and then she glanced in Laura's direction. Her face immediately softened as she looked at her sister-in-law, and in one swift move, she ran towards her and embraced her. "Emily, you're back," Lau

Emily was stunned by the sight of the colossal convoy of trucks that stood in formation outside the arena. Atlas Kane motioned for her to inspect the trucks, and she complied without hesitation. She’d never seen so many weapons in her entire life. There were guns and rifles brimming with lethal silver bullets, and there were barrels containing syringes that had ominous wolfsbane liquid. She then turned her gaze towards the formidable gathering of hundreds of warriors behind the array of trucks, standing steadfastly and waiting for instructions from their Alpha. She spun to face Atlas Kane in awe. Emily never knew her new boss from the human town would be this helpful in times of a great war. “Well, I hope I brought enough.” Atlas Kane shrugged, sounding very arrogant as usual, only by now, Emily didn’t feel irritated with how he talked. She was, in fact, thankful as the weapons and warriors would absolutely help them in the counterattack. She looked at Tyler and Laura, whose eyes
