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
Emerson POV, He nodded and stepped inside the big mansion in front of us, it was as if I was glued to my feet when I noticed eyes at every corner debugging me. I felt a profiling head on my face, I gulped down at the eerieness of the pack, and I peeped with a ripping heart. It wasn't an eye but sculptures of statues hanging on the two sides of the wall.Killing the fright out of me I rushed behind Alpha Ryder mimicking every step he takes like a child learning how to walk. I bumped into his back, my 5in 3ft height was like a mouse hitting a giant wall, I could barely feel my height."This is where you will be staying. Monaco will take you to your lodge, feel free in every corner of the mansion. don't go to the annexe." It sounded like a command even with his sluggish and calm tone."Why did you help me?" I managed to ask with every ought I might have harnessed, he quirked his brow. "You heard me right? You're not from my pack for did the mind link to work?""I didn't hear you." He
Emerson POV,He pulled away wringing his hands in the air, with a smile seeing the blush on my cheeks like a tomato."Other girls wouldn't know." "Maybe I'm not like other girls." Father always tells me this and I believed every bit of it because I could sense eberygybfrom wherever I am- strange and familiar.What was Alpha Ryders' energy like? I. . ."You're just like other girls," he stepped closer. "Ordinary lips." His strong paws caressed my lips. "Ordinary gaze." He slowly traced his hands down reaching my cleavage. I stormed back to reality."I have to go inside." I pulled away. I didn't have to go but all the words he had hurdles inside about us being mates and him aiming in every direction pained me."Cat eye, sure you think you're a mystery there, everyone here has amber eyes to think you're cursed." I drop the glass and focus on the short-haired woman in her red dress interlacing the glass waist with attention to the crowd. It was a fuckable dress, the kind of dress a man c
Emerson POV,I could feel it under me. The warmth of the bed, its silk, was so soft that I tossed and turned and sniffed the warm scent in my eyes. They were too heavy, like gum they were sticky together and I couldn't move them.I slid my leg into the slippers and got off the bed, with a banging head I pulled myself like a log towards the door.'How did we get in?' my wolf asked me. I drop my hand on the table.I shrug observing the unusual sound coming from downstairs. It stills for a moment but then picks up pace again. I reach the corner, calming my breath.'I have no idea.'"Fuck! How could you have been so careless just when I thought you could look after her? You let her wander around!"The voice made my leg tilt to a halt on the staircase, Alpha Loworth, the more time I spend eavesdropping on them the more I'm eager to leave here- the origin of my headache and to what extent everything went yesterday night get me worked up.I feel bad for my wolf. I knew we had done something
