Racing back to the pack house as though his life depended on it, Lucian took an injured and unconscious Emberlynn indoors, ignoring the look of surprise on everyone's face. He said nothing, and he was glad no one mentioned anything to him.He was too far furious with everyone to allow them to see what had happened to Emberlynn, but he knew he couldn't lash out, at least not at the moment until she was healed."This should stop the bleeding, and I'll try my best to make her feel better," Jessica assured him for the umpteenth time as he started pacing the room.He didn't believe the assurance. They had all said the same thing about keeping her safe, yet she had sneaked out under their fucking nose and got injured."Alpha..." Jessica started, and Lucian turned to her sharply."Make her wake up, else I shall have you all to blame for it," He pointed to Emberlynn's almost lifeless form. He didn't want to think of the fact that she might not come awake. Many uncertainty swirled around in hi
A Few days laterLucian kept his distance. Even though it was the last thing Emberlynn would have wanted, she believed it was very much needed.She turned around on the bed before finally sitting up. She gazed at her side, lifting the shirt she wore slightly. She had already healed, but the scar was still there.Even after fighting in a major war in Damien's pack house, she never knew she would sustain such a scar from a minor rogue fight.She had tried erasing the scar with her powers, but it didn't work.She guessed it would live with her forever, and it would be a reminder of her disobedience.Putting her hair into a messy bun, she walked around the room, doing a little stretch before walking to the vanity table.She gazed at herself in the mirror, a smile on her face, and then she pouted, jutting her lower lip forward before frowning."I woke up with a little more energy than usual," she said and smiled even more widely.She pushed herself from the table and stayed in the middle o
Emberlynn's gaze flickered around the dark room. It was so like Lucian, masculine and possessing a very dark aura like him. It was also surprisingly cold, even though Lucian was more in the middle, cold and hot; she believed the room could be hot too if it were made so.Lucian clicked a switch, and light from the chandeliers flooded the room, illuminating everywhere.Emberlynn relaxed briefly. She was still confused as to why he had brought her to his room. Well, the room was meant for both of them, as he had once told her. She didn't think he had the intention of doing something nasty to her because she wanted answers, and he had promised to provide her with one."Now, do I get to know what exactly you are hiding from me?" she asked him, and Lucian sighed.His shoulders were slouched, and he opened his mouth before closing it. It felt as though whatever he wanted to tell her was too heavy for him to say. She had never seen him at a loss for words until now."Then, I shouldn't be here
Sipping the whiskey in the wine glass, Damien set the glass on the desk before Roy stepped into the office."We made a deal with the alpha of the crescent moon pack, and I hope you didn't forget you'll be meeting him today?" Roy asked as he stepped into the room.Damien nodded, ticking a box on one of the papers before him. He puffed out a breath, dropping the pen and pushing the paper aside.He looked at Roy for a long time, making the latter frown."Is there something you need to say to me? I am all ears. You know I listen to whatever you have to say, and as your beta, I am in the right position to give a piece of advice based on what I understand." Roy said."I am going to bring Emberlynn back to the pack house. I miss her so much," Damien said.It had even gotten to the extent that he couldn't do anything anymore other than thinking about her. He knew he deserved all that was happening, seeing as it was his fault; he would do anything to have her. "What about the pack members? Yo
Emberlynn continued to gape at her. They seemed to be about the same age, although the one standing in front of her looked like she might be slightly older.She was too stunned to speak or ask her who she was."I am Ria," Ria said, extending her hand towards Emberlynn, who stared at it before staring back at her.She didn't shake the hand right away."Ria Evergreen, your long lost sister. We are twin technically," Ria added.Twin?"No way," Emberlynn muttered. She had never been told she was a twin. Even before her mother's death, she didn't mention having another child aside from her."I know it looks shocking to you, but it's the truth. I know our history, and I can tell you. How the werewolf slaughtered every one of us to the last, but seeing as I wasn't born without the same powers as yours, I had escaped the brutality.""I do not understand," Emberlynn stated, shaking her head.Selena had helped her clear all the things she had forgotten. She could have noticed Ria in one of her
A smile formed on Lucian's face as he stood in front of the pictures in his room. There were about twenty in total, decorating the wall in different frames. Anyone who stepped into his room would have thought it was a gallery due to the various artwork on the wall.But he was sure anyone would easily misunderstand him. They might think him a creep, which he didn't mind. At least he was not creeping after someone else. He was only obsessing over his love.It was not precisely his room he had taken Emberlynn to, and he knew that if he had, she'd have asked him several questions about the pictures on the wall. He didn't want to answer such a question, at least not yet. It could jeopardize things and he believed he was close to getting what he needed.Grabbing one of the pictures, he caressed the frame, his gaze looking lovingly at the woman staring back at him with a bright smile.His Emily. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Bright blue eyes, shoulder length black ha
Securing the lock on the door, Ria walked back to the bed. She tossed the contents of her bag on the floor, picking them one after the other and dumping them into the pack once again.She stopped when it got to a black metal box with a golden lock. She placed the box on her lap,Opening it, she took out the necklace, lifting it to her eye level.The necklace sparkled in Ria's hand, its delicate chain supporting a pendant that glimmered with an unnatural light. The stone was a fragment of the revered Luna stone, and it pulsed with a soft, ethereal glow.Legend had it that the Luna stone held the essence of the moon's power, and depending on who was wielding it, it could grant them unimaginable abilities or even render them powerless if it had been hexed to do so.She was going to give it to Emberlynn to seep out her powers to the last drop. She had waited many years to do this, and now she was closer to her goal. Despite being twins, she was the first-born twin. She should have been t
THE NEXT DAYConnor strode to where Lucian was currently on the rooftop of the building. As soon as he approached him, Lucian stared at Connor before turning away from him."Do you have everyone in their position yet?" Lucian asked, using the binoculars with him to gaze into the distance.He didn't see Damien or any of his troops yet, but he knew they could be around the forest area hiding. Damien was smart; he would surely know something was up and wouldn't just come into his territory without getting prepared."Yes, and we are awaiting your order," Connor said."Good, bring Damien to me alive. He's mine. I don't care what state he is in; just bring him to me alive," Lucian said. "Noted, Alpha," Connor bowed and walked away from Lucian.Typing some numbers on his phone, Connor dialled it, and after two rings, the person at the other end picked up."The target is Alpha Damien. He should be brought to us alive, and as soon as I get the route he'd be passing, I shall communicate it wit
