Third Person POV
Liam sits on the passenger's side of the convertible. He pushes his sunglasses up on the curve of his nose and bops his head to the music.
He places his elbow on top of the car door resting his head on his knuckles. Tyler sits in the driver's seat. His jaw clenches and his eyebrows narrow in frustration.
"Come on now man! You can't deny you wanna go in there and claim the girl. I can see right through you. She's your mate, isn't she? I think I did you the favor by asking her to be our guide for the days we gotta be here. Remember, Selene said you can't go back empty-handed. She wants to meet Emily." Liam chuckles and glances towards the window where Emily sits.
"Shut up Liam! Don't you think I want to? " He runs his hands through his hair and sighs deeply.
"She is so fucking beautiful! More than I remember. But I can't." Liam looks at him confused and shakes his head. "Why not Ty? Do you have any idea how lucky you are to find a second chance mate? I get it. You are scared that something may happen to her. But who better than you to protect her? She needs you, as much as you need her. I mean, do you really think you'll be able to stand going through the same pain of losing a mate again?"
He sighs, reminiscing on the time he first lost his mate under a rogue attack on his pack. Though they are one of the toughest packs in existence, they were attacked when he and Blake, Alpha of their pack were driving back from being away in business. By the time they got there, their territory was a complete war ground. He, along with Blake and the warriors that were inside their vehicles was able to elude them away and finish the war between the rogues who were trying to overtake their territory, but unfortunately, a lot of men and women had lost their mates that day. Ty had lost his mate as well.
It had only been a few weeks since he had found her. She had agreed to move to his pack and marry him soon and had finished the mating bond between the two. But their happiness was short-lived when he found her lying on the ground. Lifeless and covered in blood. He had a very hard time trying to recover from the pain his body went under from her loss. The pain was horrifying, something even he did not dare to wish upon any of his enemies.
He softly turns to see her. She looks at him, and then turns back to speak with Chloe, both standing and walking towards the counter.
"I can't deny I want to mark her and make her mine already Liam! But she's still human. She wouldn't understand the importance of a bond. If I do decide that being with me is the best for her, then I have to do things differently with her. I don't even know if this is the right thing for her. I have to think of her safety first."
Liam turns his body and lowers his sunglasses down his nose a bit looking at Tyler with his eyebrows narrowed, confused with his revelation.
Every wolf longs for a mate, even more, those who lose their mate and get a second chance mate. Only a fool would let a second chance mate go by.
Tyler turns on the car and speeds off towards the direction of the inn they had registered in. For now, the only thing that preoccupied him was to finish up the business Blake had given him. He just wanted to meet with the Mitchells, go over the plans, sign the contracts, and be on his way. But Liam was right. He wants to be with her, to make her his, and finish the mating bond. . . maybe even hope for a happily ever after. But the fear of losing her as well had him on edge.
He had to think of the circumstances, who she was, and more importantly. . . how would she react to the fact that he isn't completely human? Would she be able to handle the fact he is not just a werewolf, but also a descendant of Artemis and Orion? Orion, who was killed by Artemis' brother for the treacherous way he had impregnated her.
Tyler understood the wrath his mother was under and did not hold it against her for ordering her younger brother to kill her unwanted mate. But deep inside, he was afraid. What if Emily didn't want him either? What if this was his case as well? What if Emily rejected him?
His conscience haunts him, being able to invade someone's mind is power even he can't help but take advantage of. He knows it's wrong to lie to Emily, but invading her mind every night just to be able to be with her . . . even if it is, only in her dreams. . . is completely ludicrous. He knows it's wrong, especially since he makes her forget his face each night so that she can not recall who he is. Though he has tried to stop himself from coming to her balcony every night, he can't.
The love he has for her just grows more and more each time he sees her. He knows, his biggest battle would be to go back home this time, without her.
🐺❤️🐺❤️🐺❤️🐺❤️
Emily quickly turns into her driveway, placing her car in park and turning off the engine as if she was in a rush. She gets off quickly and runs inside her home, surprised that her door is unlocked. She feels shaking and distraught. Resting on the door after she has slammed it shut behind her."Emily? Why are you slamming the door sweetheart? What's the matter with you?" Her mom is at the kitchen stirring her delicious chocolate chip cookie dough."Sorry, mom. I just, ugh!" She closes her eyes tight and gulps down hard as she slowly makes her way and sits on a barstool at the kitchen island holding the back of her neck with her right hand."Why are you here at my place again?" She squints her eye looking at her mom confused and tired. Her mom chuckles as she continues to mix her cookie batter."Well, I f

You want to call it off or-" Chester brings me out of my trance as I walk to and fro in the living room of my room. I was really nervous, but her smell was driving me crazy. I could smell her from way up here, and the more her smell of vanilla and wildflowers lingers in the air, the more my wolf Asher gets impatient."Send her up," I answered without hesitation. I can't take this anymore. I have to do something about this. I don't know how I will react when I have her in front of me if I am to reject her. . . then I have to do it quickly
EmilyTyler had just given me the best welcome into his life. It wasn't like me to sleep with a guy just like that, hell, I've never been with any guy, period. But there was something different about him.I was a girl who could not be dominated, but he managed to dominate me and claim me as his own just with one stare of those beautiful eyes of his.He had a darkness to him that I cannot explain. But I liked, no- loved about him.I laid on his chest. He felt so strong and rough. His muscles were still tense even after we had both reached our climax together. I won't lie, I was content for some reason. He brought peace to me I can't explain, but I was also freaking out a little. We didn't use any protection at all, and he didn't seem to care that he had finished inside me.I hope that
EmilyI was startled when he threw me on the car seat of his beautiful convertible with leather seats. After he places my seatbelt on, he leans down and glares at me with fury. I love it, I won't lie, but I won't let him see he has full control over me."I told you to stay in the room with me. Why didn't you listen to me?" He says trying to hide his frustration."And I told you I had a previous engagement. I told you I was coming back." I sneered back giving him an attitude. He makes a growling sound making me startled."A date Em! You had a fucking date on the same day we mate and. . . ." He curses through gritted teeth and closes his eyes."How could you come and meet this douchbag? He was nothing but an asshole with you.""I can handle myself, ok? I was trying to come here and break it off, but he wouldn't s
TylerI began to get near our pack's territory. We were probably about ten miles away from entering when I realized the fast glimpse of a rogue wolf. Then another, and another.I could sense the rush as I thought of how good of a thrill it will be to end these low scumbags. The last time we had a rogue attack, they took my first mate away, they had the advantage of my absence. But this time, I was sure to rip them apart.I needed to alert my pack, tell them my situation. One thing I like about being a primord is we can mind link each other, even if we are miles away from our pack."Blake, I'm coming near our pack's territory, I'm coming home. Guards, stay on the lookout, there are rogues in the area. Make sure I am not being followed too close to our territory." I knew soon as I alerted the guards, there
TylerLocation: Alpha Blake's officeWesley sat on the chair prompt in front of the desk. Blake sat on his chair, Harou sat on the desk corner with one leg resting on the desk, the other steady on the floor. Damian, leader of the primord vampires, sat in the sitting area on the right side of the desk.I paced back and forth on the new wooden floor. Pensive, my arms crossed behind my back."How do I know you're not lying to me? Surely mother would have mentioned you to us. Why didn't she tell us about you? And why the fuck did you have to attack us? Especially using those stupid rogues. My mate could have gotten hurt. Did you not think about this?" I was angry, completely fucking angry.Wesley sighed, he sat back on that chair like he d
EmilySelene and I soon made great friends. We talked as if we had known each other for a very long time, we sat down and ate together on the kitchen island. She had an elder lady come in and prepare food for us, which we made her sit down as well and eat with us.The elder lady reminded me so much of the nanny that took care of mom when she was living with my grandpa in California. Though I felt a bit off place because I was used to making my own meals. I wasn't used to having people tend to me."Selene is it ok that I stay here in your house? I don't want to be a burden. It was a last-minute decision, and I honestly don't even know how Ty and I ended up coming here without calling to ask first, it was a hesitant decision, I-""Emily, this is not my house, it's Ty's. And yours now. You don't have to exp
EmilyTyler and I spent the rest of our day together. He walked with me around town, introducing me to so many people. The town looked very modern. All the people were humble and so nice, reminding me of my town.We had stopped to have dinner at a nice restaurant and then ended the day with a movie in our living room. After a few movies, I drifted off to sleep. I can't remember exactly in the middle of which movie I must have drifted off to sleep, but the dream I had, was just as confusing as the ones I normally have.~~~~~~~~I ran through the woods barefooted, wearing a sky blue dress that flowed beautifully on me. It almost seemed the dress was specially made for me. My hair cascaded down in loose waves, and my feet were left barefoot.Maybe, I should be scared. But I sprinted carelessly throug
