Emma tried to run away she stood no chance. Axel caught her immediately and dragged her back to the warehouse before pushing her onto a chair. She tried to get up but he raised his hand.“No use,” he said. “You won’t get any far even if you try.”Emma sighed. Unfortunately, he was right. Going up against him would only create more problems for her. She was already in enough trouble as it was. “Did you really think you could escape?” he asked.“Well, I was hoping I could. That b!tch tricked me. Where is Kylie?”“Who is that?”“Another slave,” Emma said. “She is the one who told me about the tunnels. She sent that guard to free me.”“Guard? Are you talking about Spencer who I sent to bring you to me?”“What?”“You’re quite an actress. I can’t believe I was about to change my mind and accept you as my mate despite you being a rogue. I thought you were capable of change but clearly I was wrong. You will never be a member of a community. I feel less pain now that I know I made the right d

After dagging the sheep, one of the most annoying tasks Emma had done at Venom pack, it was time to go and get washed at the communal centre. Emma found the washing activity quite dehumanising. They had to stand there in their clothes while the warriors used hoses to pour water on them. After being washed, each had to go to the small shack to remove the wet clothes and put on clean ones. There were other slaves in charge of doing the laundry. Emma always wondered why they wouldn’t just let them wash one by one in the shack, but it seemed the people in charge enjoyed humiliating them. Emma studied the area well, observing as much area of the pack as she could. She needed to know the entire layout in case she decided to escape again.Kylie’s group had got their first. Emma went directly to her. “Why did you do it?” she asked, facing the defiant young woman. “You tricked me.”“I don’t have to explain myself to anyone,” Kylie said, flipping her hair. “I don’t owe anything to you.”“You’r

He moved his lips according to hers, willingly following her lead. Emma figured he was an amateur and it was probably his first time being kissed. He was one of those who tried to keep themselves for their mates. “Is this okay?” Emma whispered, not wanting to do anything he was uncomfortable with.“Yes, please.” He said. “I want you.”Emma smiled and went back to kissing him. She wanted him as well. She paused to remove her tattered blouse, exposing her bra. While he watched in awe, she took her hands back and unbuckled it, then let it fall. Ken looked like he had just seen the most beautiful things in the world. She looked into his eyes. The brown eyes had got misty and glassy. Emma could see the desire for her in them. Emma held his face and smiled at him. “You look so good, so perfect.”Suddenly, the young man kissed her, roughly this time. Emma used the opportunity to get rid of his shirt before standing up. He stood up and wound his hands around her, before lifting her up agains

The town was quiet and calm during day time but as the evening grew closer, it started to fill up with all kinds of young people. There were vampires, werewolves, witches and even some humans. Most of the humans knew what they were up against. The ones who lived in the region were mainly those who belonged to the founding families and they were protected by the supernatural beings who had come up with laws to ensure that humans were not killed off recklessly. Emma had managed to borrow money from a rich merchant so they were seated at a pub whose balcony overlooked the main street of the town. “It looks so peaceful here,” Ken said. “It’s very different from the country. The people seem so simple and there’s a lot of things going on. It makes my pack extremely boring in comparison.”“I believe now you can see why some of us prefer to move around and see the world,” Emma said. “Personally, I don’t think I can stay in one place my entire life. It’s boring. I don’t understand how some p

Emma remained squatting and tried to think of a way of getting that girl out of there. She tried to think of a way out but all that came up were problems.1. She didn’t know how many vampires were there.2. She didn’t know how fast and strong they were.3. She had no idea how they would get out of their if they had to outrun the vampires4. The girl had barely developed which meant that her supernatural powers were quite week. She looked 14 or 15 and that was a very early developmental stage for most werewolves. The fact that she couldn’t break out of the ropes holding her was a sign of the little strength she had.Emma stood up again and looked at the girl. She moved her mouth to show ‘how many’ before lifting her hand. She raised one finger and the girl shook her head. Emma raised two and the girl nodded. Emma went back down and started thinking. So, one of the vampires was in the tent while the other had gone off to the woods, probably to ease himself.Emma opened her bag and retr
