Emery
I followed Kairo, not even sparing a glance at Amelia. This incident just proves her disdain for me. I even gave her the benefit of the doubt at the party, but I guess those were her true colors. I thought that she was reasonably mean to me because I took her dress, but this has blown way out of proportion.
I wanted to thank Kairo once again for defending me, but his strides were too long that I couldn't keep up. I’m sure that he could hear my footsteps, but it’s as if he doesn’t care.“Kairo, wait,” I called out, but he still ignored me. I called out his name once again, louder this time, “Kai.”He paused for a while but sped up his strides. Our gap was getting bigger and bigger, but I still followed him through and through. However, once he had entered the training center, I couldn’t follow him anymore. I respect his workspace, and I don’t want to disturb the other wolves in their training.I sighed and tEmery I went back to my room to prepare for Kairo and I’s trip. Was this a date? I thought to myself. I felt giddy and excited that I was finally having some alone time with my mate. I went to my closet and tried to find the most decent clothes that I had. I only ever have plain t-shirts and jeans but hidden in the very back of my closet were my mom’s clothes. I only wore them during special occasions, but I feel like this event is special enough for me to wear them. I hauled the box out of the closet then started delicately digging for something casual but presentable in the box. I smiled as I saw a simple sky blue dress at the bottom of the box. It was made from a light material, and it went up down to my knees. I grabbed it out of the box and placed it in front of my body in the mirror. The material was so flowy and light that I was afraid of tearing it in half. I handled it delicately and placed it on my bed as I went to shower.&
Emery He looked at me incredulously. This was the first time that I was able to elicit some type of reaction from him aside from anger and annoyance. I smiled at him widely and waved my hands in front of his face since he was still staring at me intently. “Are you okay?” I asked, concern laced in my voice. He snapped from his thoughts and coughed lightly. “I’m fine.” He said. “Are you sure?” “Yeah, let’s just eat, and so we can go back earlier,” He said while opening the picnic basket that Liliana had prepared. I pouted because of his words. He looked at me and scoffed. “Fine, what did she prepare for us?” I asked, excited. My eyes widened when I saw an array of desserts. They were all my favorites! Cheesecake, ice cream, and donuts were placed in front of me, and I couldn’t help but look at them with hungry eyes. I reached out for a plate and put everything on my plate. I was indulging in the swee
Emery All the way back to the packhouse, I kept on trying to talk to Kairo. I told him about the first time that I went to the packhouse and how I met Dalton. I don’t think he was paying attention, but I was just so elated when he asked me to call him “Hux.” “Hux, Hux!” I said. “Can you keep your mouth shut?” He asked, annoyed. “But you still did not answer my question. Where did your name come from? It’s so cool and unique. And it suits you perfectly.” I rambled, quickening my steps so that I could walk nearer to him. “You don’t have to know.” He sighed. “And I regret telling you about that name. Can you just forget about it?” “Nope,” I shook my head. “No return. No exchange. I’m never going to let go of that name now.” I said, smiling cheekily at him. He groaned, “Were you always this annoying?” “No. I’m like this only with you.” I smiled, attempting to poke his arm. He
Emery I excitedly went down to the playground after lunch had finished. It was still a little early, so I was the first one there. I sat on one of the swings and enjoyed the sweet and cool breeze. “Hi!” I heard a voice say beside me. “Emery, right?” She asked. I looked back and saw a tall, curly-haired girl. Her dark skin shone in the sun. “Yeah, hi!” I greeted back. “Are you Desiree?” I asked. “That’s me,” She responded, sitting on one of the swings next to me. She looked at me momentarily, and I got shy. “Is there something on my face?” I asked. “No! Sorry, was I staring?” She laughed embarrassedly. “It’s just that Dalton and Dante were right. You really are pretty.” I blushed. “You’re prettier.” She laughed. “Thanks, that really means a lot. Especially coming from you.” We fell in a comfortable silence as we swung back and forth. I wanted to become closer to her, so I initiated a conversation
EmeryI looked at her in shock. What was she planning now?Kairo rushed over to where we were and looked at us with glaring eyes. He gazed at me and fiercely asked, “What the fuck did you do?"Amelia interrupted me before I could speak, “Emery pushed this kid off the slide! I saw it with my own two eyes.” She said in a panicked voice.“No, that didn’t happen! We were just playing and went over to the slide but then—”“Oh my god. Blood! Kairo, there’s blood. The child’s head is bleeding.” Amelia was looking at Kairo while frantically trying to get away from the blood.“Lyle!” I exclaimed. I kneeled down in front of him in hopes of helping him, but a strong force suddenly pushed me away from the scene. It was Kairo. I was thrown to the ground, and my palms hit the rough gravel bed. I saw blood ooze out from my palm
EmeryTwo days have passed, and it’s a great relief that Lyle is now okay. I watched over him for the past two days, so I haven’t had the chance to explain myself to Kairo yet. However, I still want to make this right.I was sitting near the living room window when Desiree poked my arm, “Hey, how are you?”“I’m okay,” I responded with a smile, even if it didn’t reach my eyes.“I heard that Lyle’s better now,” She said while rubbing my arm. I felt comforted.“Yeah, I visited him for the past two days, and he seems to be fully recovered now. It’s a good thing that his parents listened to me and understood the whole situation.”“But you didn’t even do anything wrong! You don’t have to explain yourself.” She said, shaking my arm. “I know! What if we get Lyle to talk to the Alpha? Surely Alpha Kairo would forgive you if the v
EmeryI kept to myself for the whole day, but that isn’t really possible anymore since tonight’s the inauguration ceremony of Dalton and Dante, and everyone is required to attend. I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were still a little bit swollen from yesterday night’s episode, so I splashed my face with cold water to calm them down.I was already late for the ceremony because I slept in the afternoon— a result of my lack of sleep from yesterday night. If Desiree didn’t text me to come down because the after-event was still currently ongoing, I probably wouldn’t have attended it at all.I reluctantly went down and saw the three—Dalton, Dante, and Desiree, sitting on one table. They were waving for me to come over to their table. I smiled at them tiredly and quickened my pace to get to them faster.“Congratulations, guys!” I said while sitting down on the chair.“We

My body was heating up even more, but this time it wasn’t because of pain.He growled, and I could feel his labored breaths near my lips, leaving a hot, tingling sensation that made me crave for more.I reached out to him, wanting to get closer to his lips, but he bowed his head down and started sniffing my neck.“Fuck, why did you have to be here tonight?” He asked in a pained voice.I moaned because his lips, paired with his hot breath grazed upon my neck when he was talking. My mind was so jaded that I didn’t even notice that we were already moving. He carried me effortlessly and walked without any reservation.“Wait… Desiree…” I whined out, but he only tightened his hold on me and quickened his
