Emilia lost everything when she was seven years old. Her entire life was ripped from her. Her parents gone forever, her siblings never to be seen again. The eyes of the man who killed her mom and dad are forever ingrained in her mind, haunting her nightmares. On the eve of her 18th birthday, everything changes as Alpha Kade comes to the Black Claw pack. Dark and mysterious, he buys Emilia from her pack. Alpha Kade has many secrets he is hiding from Emilia, and he refuses to answer a single one of her questions, including the reason he brought her to his pack. Will Emilia be able to survive the dark and mysterious Alpha who is almost as cruel to her as her former Alpha and Luna? Or is she going to rise above and show Alpha Kade exactly what she is made of?
View MoreEmilia’s POV I stand in the office listening to Alpha Kade tell me about the fate of my family and I’m numb. I can’t feel anything. I don’t want to feel anything. Feeling…well that will be worst than just blocking everything out. And that’s what I want to do. I want to block it out and forget that I pushed the Alpha to tell me. I want to forget he told me about my brother and sister’s fate. My sister had a baby…not just one, but two. Two beings who were part of her. Who is the baby daddy? Why doesn’t he want his kids? Why are they in my brother’s care? Does this mean Ramira had found her mate early on? My head spins as all the questions race through me. Questions I don't have the answer to. I can't do this. I can't do it right now. Without saying a word, I spin on my heels and walk out of the room, not bothering to talk to either man in the room. If they tried to stop me, I wouldn't know. My mind keeps wandering to the last time I saw my brother and sister. They day my pare
Alpha Kade’s POV For the first time since meeting her, anger courses through me. Not at the lack of respect, because there is no respect, but at everything this girl has been through. She is barely a legal adult. And she has seen some of the true horrors of the world we live in. I want to take revenge on those that hurt her, harm her. No matter how i feel about her or the lack of the bond flowing through is now, no one in their right mind deserves to be raped or even starved. I can feel Marcus’s disappointment behind me. He hates how i continuously push her when none of us truly know what she’s been through. And I get it now. I really do… I shouldn’t have pushed her. I reach my hand out with the intention of touching her arm, wanting to offer some type of comfort. The tears are killing me. I hate crying. Even more so when it’s a woman and I know I caused the pain. I may not have been the one to rape or beat her, but I caused her to relive the pain by pushing her to the point of
Emilia's POV Marcus raises his voice again. I'm not even in the same room as him and Alpha Kade, but I can feel his anger from here. All of this over me... I don't want to come between friends, not in the slightest. I just want to be treated fairly and equally by everyone, including the hard headed Alpha. Yet, I know he will never treat me as a person. Simply because I am his second chance mate. He views me as the enemy. "—lying to yourself, Kade. You admitted it yourself. She intrigued you. There was something about her that kept your attention. You were curious about the girl. And now you suddenly learn about her past and want nothing to do with her? You know who her parents are! At the very least, you can fucking tell her everything instead of keeping her in the dark! Especially everything that happened to her brother and sister! At the very least, you can tell her where her parents are buried!" Marcus yells at him. My brother and sister are alive? Alpha Kade knows who they
Alpha Kade's POV I wake up with an intense migraine. I slowly sit up from my position on the ground and look around me. I must have fallen asleep at the cemetery talking to Leila. I look around me and my eyes catch on the guy leaning against the truck on the path through the cemetery. "Nice of you to finally join the land of the living," Garrett growls at me. "I was waiting to see if I needed to give you a nice shower with some ice cold water to wake your sorry ass." I scrub my hands down my face, silently begging for this headache to freaking go away. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him. "Looking for you," he responds. "You didn't come back to the pack house. When you didn't come to training this morning, Marcus and I were concerned about your sorry ass. I volunteered to come and look for you." "Oh, so Marcus is considering talking to me again?" Garrett rolls his eyes before he responds. "He's contemplating it. And you know regardless of how stupid and downri
Emilia’s POV “Emilia! Over here!” Alexis shouts. My eyes zero in on Alexis and I do a slow jog to her. She immediately stands from her seat on one of the small stone pillars surrounding the quad. She wraps her arms around me giving me a hug and my body automatically tenses for a split second. Alexis is my first friend here and she is probably the most eccentric one I know too. I am still getting used to her mannerisms. She once told me physical touch is her love language. In her eyes, it means it is natural for her to give her friends a hug the moment she sees them, acting as if it has been a century since she seen them last. It's safe to say, physical touch isn't my love language. Every time she does it, I still tense up whenever she gives me a hug, even though I am used to it. "Are you okay?" she asks me softly before pulling away. I give her a simple nod of my head. She leans a little closer and tells me, "Beta Marcus had told me something happened, and your body needed a littl
Emilia's POV By the time I made it back to the pack house, it was late. Marcus had walked me all the way to my room and waited for me to unlock my door before he left. He had hesitated at the door, almost like he wanted to say something to me, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just turned around and walked away, leaving me to ponder his actions. I just finished taking a long, hot shower and now I am lying in bed, staring at my dark ceiling. Athena is on cloud nine right now since she had the perfect chance to go for a run and spread her legs. I can't believe I didn't think about trying to shift before now to let her...although, I am glad I had someone there with me. It was oddly nice and comforting having the Beta with me. I felt safe. And free. My mind drifts to the Alpha and his dark piercing eyes. When I accepted his rejection, for a split second, I thought I saw something that resembled along the lines of pain and maybe a hint of regret. And it’s crazy to even co
Alpha Kade's POV I stand outside the club and watch as Marcus immediately goes to my ex-mate. Is that even the proper term for her? 'She has a name,' Ghost growls. 'How about you try and fucking use it every once in a while?' I internally roll my eyes at my damn sentimental wolf. He's angry with me for rejecting her in the first place. He has been picking and choosing when to speak with me since I rejected to her. And honestly now? I'm shocked he even said that to me. Everything hurts and it feels like I just lost my mate all over again. I promised myself I would never take another as my mate after Leila. It feels like it would be a disservice to her. Like somehow it means I didn't love her as much as I did. I don't want her to ever question my love for her, even if she has long since passed away. Looking at the Omega, something twinges inside me as she curls on herself, as the pain ravishes through her. If it wasn't for the fact I am ranked as an Alpha and I have been through t
Emilia’s POV It feels freeing to let my wolf be in charge of everything for once. I love the feel of the wind blowing through her fur and the sound of her paws pounding on the ground beneath us. For me, this feels freeing. And incredible. Wonderful. Relaxing. There are so many words that I can use to describe it. Tears well behind my eyes as I think about how I didn’t think I would ever get to feel this. I went years thinking I wouldn’t get my wolf. When I turned 18 and she didn’t come to me, I had given up hope. It is practically unheard of for shifters to have their first shift and their wolf come to them after their eighteenth birthday. By then, you are considered too old and many experts say your body isn’t able to handle the changes you go through during your first shift. Never did I think I would get her and be able to run with her. We run for hours. Marcus trails behind us. He sent a message out through the mind link telling everyone to avoid this area to give Athena a
Emilia’s POV At the thought of being able to shift for the first time, Athena perks up. Marcus pulls into a clearing and puts his car in park before turning to face me. “Emilia, shifting is a privilege, but in order to get to where you can shift, you need to understand it’s going to be immensely painful. There will be times during the shift where you wish you were dead or for the pain to end.” He takes a deep breath, and he stares into the distance, almost like he is remembering something else. “Have you ever wondered why you typically get your wolf months, sometimes years, before you actually shift?” “No, I never thought about it since I didn’t get my wolf like everyone else.” “The younger your wolf comes usually symbolizes your rank. Kade got his wolf at nine, but he didn’t shift until he was twelve. I got my wolf at twelve and shifted fourteen. Many pack members, including Omegas, get their wolf at sixteen and then they shift on the eve of their eighteenth birthday. You get y
