Alpha Loworth POV,It's barely an hour since I left the pack house, yet my thoughts have a scrupulous way of dragging their feet back to Emerson. "Are you sure you don't want to go through the invite to know who sent it?" George asks, I shake my head and move my body forward in the chair outside the suite.I roam around for a few minutes and set my gaze on the wall. George stares at me inquisitively."Smith-" I grumble, stop halfway. "I have to be alone for a bit. Don't worry I will be back as soon as I settle my thoughts." He nods in understanding. He walks towards the car and ignites the engine, I watch as he drives away before I turn to glance at the invitation. This is likely the fourth time in glancing down at this shit in my hand.I jammed it to the wall. "She fucking doesn't trust me!"Well I saved her, I rejected her, trust? It never bothered me so far I have my two closest friends and beta around me. "Too much of a hurdle, George feels uncomfortable coming back," Monaco say
Loworth POV, "You and I are going to have a very long conversation, Loworth." His words hang in the air as he drops the bottle and shifts back resting his head behind his seat.The desire to hear what he has to say doesn't subside but lingers. An unwelcome companion of ghosts follows me."Smith thought he would leave some souvenirs his way." He says carelessly. Like all this is shit to him.My hand fist by my side, suppressing the feeling at that moment."Snitching up on me?""No, it's business, Loworth. Even Your worst enemy can be your best alliance when it comes to business, " Smith offered and I couldn't resist."I let out between gritted teeth. "So you're telling me, you're loyal to Smith now?"Initially, this suit had felt like my sanctuary. It served as my office the moment I entered it. It is a realm of calculated designs. With each tap on the seat. But today the space feels different, the room is thick with tension a cock tails of focus and anticipation with a tint of laxity
Emerson POV, His words hang heavy in the air. I stare at his colossal back inside the black button-down shirt he wore, there is nothing I can say. When I walked up to him in the living room, I was not able to look him straight in his eyes. My reasons to have a moment with him.I have been caught and the threats emanating from his voice were unspoken, abundantly clear there will be consequences and they dare not be in my favour.But I can't help it, I have to get out of here before he makes further arrangements to Las Vegas. I blink then move my eyes forward slowly moving away from the wall to follow him.He whirls around to face me and arches a questioning brow. He lifts a shoulder in half shrug. "A test to determine your worth."Once the word catches me, I'm chewing on my bottom lips like I'm trying to blink back a potential cringe. He glances at me and sees me looking away."You stupid fuck face, I owe you my life that is enough," I mutter between gritted teeth, almost a whisper
Loworth POV, It was already after seven before I could get home. Domenico called an hour ago and I could sense the willingness in his tone. The yard separation was a success, but he insisted Monaco stay at the hospital overnight to make sure there aren’t complications with his mate, he trusts me less but a snitch like him will have his tongue roasted by Smith if he finds out. He's Domenico, sledging his way. I walk in through the door to my quiet apartment. I change into my quiet pyjamas when I hear a sound coming from downstairs in a whisper. Emerson.She was talking to someone on the cell phone, her gaze darting around like some fucking owl. Wendy. It slipped through her mouth before she realized, I bet I was shocked when she asked the time then she lowered her voice telling the person on the call about her request earlier.I had been growing suspicious, way before she even led me inside to ask for her freedom to be going out. Digging up and making inquiries from Domenico about her
Emerson POV,I hit a wall today. I'm burnt out from the long journey. I keep glancing at the top of the stairs because I have a perfect view of it from the couch. But Alpha Loworth. I haven't seen much of him after his interrogation which left me questioning myself. I reassured myself Smith is a far better man. I look up and find Monaco standing with his stripes on his leg, he looks exhausted. From what? I don't know.In his left hand, he brings a shopping bag and hands it to me, I don't want to talk about Alpha Loworth so I changed the topic. "What is inside the bag?"He narrows his eyes and tilts his head. "It's for you. Loworth insists you change into that."I collect it from the table and stand up my fist clenches and unclenches. Monaco doesn't buy the idea of all of this, he spins around quickly before I even turn to look at him.Not sure of how to get out of this predicament, I could have gotten defensive and accused something I didn't like, dancing to his tone at the same even
Emerson POV, I turn to face him, my face digging into his chest. His cologne wafts to me, so plush, dark and masculine. My knight in shining armour. I haven't seen him since yesterday, but his popping up made my heart flush. I stare at Smith, exuding a different form of confidence.A fleeting smile appears across his mouth and disappears just as quickly as if he remembered what happened, his lips turn up. "I'm sure there aren't many you'd risk this moment for, Emerson is catchy and I want her the more now that you have showed up, old friend."Loworth refuses to return his smile, he swats his hand away from me. "Don't you dare touch her?" He commands.“You look terrible," I say because he doesn’t look terrible. Loworth never does, and he knows it.Loworth heads for the counter lined with pastries, bottles of water, coffee carafe and small chops, perfect for a birthday.He grabs a water and squeezes it open then heads to his seat opposite from me.Smith disappeared into the crowd bef
Emerson POV,Have you ever felt like an option in your life? I don't mean to say when you love someone and he treats you any less. What I'm saying is when the whole world is against you, you feel cornered right? I feel worse, there is no space in mind to retreat to.As a wolf it means alot to me, I feel at the corner with all but myself. I raised my head from the palm of my hand where it had been buried like concrete for hours.My leg hurts from running errands for Nicholas, as my eyes meet his sweat beaded my whole face and my heart bumped like it had hit a gallop into a loud thud. "Pack weirdo! Get me a glass of water!" He yelled at me, he scrounged his brow with a mean glare.And I hurried on my aching heels to serve him, our Alpha. I stepped closer with fear he might break my bones."What has gotten into you? Stop being sluggish and step closer." He tugged hard at my wrist as his words burned down my throat. "Who is going to save you now that I'm the Alpha?" He jerked the glass,
Emerson POV, 'A vicious Alpha taking out on Nicholas within his pack over a cursed bitch!'I looked to find some of the pack members glaring at me, one stuck out his fang and hurdles his way from across the room towards me, I looked down, feeling threatened.If he gets at me at this speed I will be devoured before the duel even starts. My heart was in heat. My hand clasped to the side of my face covering my ears."Hey, beast step aside, and get the bunnies ready. Nicholas can't afford to lose her, hurting his ego will be complicating the situation more." I slid my eyes shut with a thudding heart, pinching my fingers together. I stare up to figure the mysterious man standing ahead not up to ten feet away from me. His muscular and gleaning muscles are unmistakable, his appearance is that of a model. Probably that is yet to air on television, only that his coldness gave me a strange feeling but his eyes were so appealing I could use it as dessert.I want to know this man, and his ord
