Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 31: My Real Views
Emma woke when someone opened the door to the room where her cell was located. She'd slept fitfully. With her stomach empty she couldn't settle. She would starve before she agreed to anything Lucien had to say. When she opened her eyes, one of the silent guards stared at her through the bars. She didn't bother asking him anything. He would obey his Alpha. That's just how things worked. She sat up and stretched, her stomach rumbling. There would be no food; Lucien had made that clear. Dex must be going crazy with worry by now. As far as Emma could tell, she hadn't been here a full day, but it must have been half a day. She'd slept, but she didn't know if night had passed or not. The room had no windows and Lucien had ordered them to keep the lights on all of the time. The door opened again and Lucien stepped through it. He motioned for the guard to leave. When he turned to Emma a cruel smile split his face. "Hungry yet?"she wasn't going to rise to his bait. She wasn't the Emma he ma
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 32: Escape
Lucien came back far too fast to have caught, let alone injured Dex. Emma's love wasn't with her soon-to-be ex-husband. Emma stood in the middle of the cell, her hands behind her back, working on the bracelet. She'd have it off soon and then she'd shift. She'd escape then, with or without Dex. "He may have escaped this time," Lucien said. He clenched his fists as he paced in front of her cell. She watched him, her face as impassive as she could make it. "You've never getting out of here, Emma. You might as well give in."He was losing patience with her and that's when he'd make a mistake. She'd pounce when that happened if she hadn't escaped by then. She kept quiet because he'd want her to engage in this situation. She had been passive during their marriage, but he had to know that she wasn't going to be that way anymore."I know you well enough to mess with your head, Emma."That would take far more brainpower than he possessed. Lucien was more about brawn. None of this worried Em
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 33: Running Away
Dex pulled his truck into the parking lot of what looked like a motel out of a horror movie. "Why are we stopping here?""Because we can't make it to the territory today. I'm done driving.""I can drive.""No. You need some rest, Emma." He opened the door. "Stay here. I'll get us a room."She stayed put but locked the doors. She didn't know what would come at her in the twilight. The motel room was on the back of the building. Dex parked in front of it. The room smelled of mold. Emma wrinkled her nose, but she knew they had to keep a low profile. "I'm sorry it isn't better, Emma."She hugged him after he brought in their suitcases. "It's okay. I get it. We're on the run."As long as she was with Dex, she could do this. "I'll go get some food.""Just order in.""I only have cash," he said.She nodded. "Okay. I'm going to take a shower."He left and she entered the bathroom. The towels were the smallest she'd ever seen. She slid into pajamas when she finished, feeling much better. Her
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 34: A New Home
Dex pulled off the road and onto a dirt road. He had a vague idea where they'd be safe and he expected there to be a cabin here. This was unclaimed territory. If this didn't work, they'd move on and find something else. He'd keep Emma safe no matter what. "Smooth," Emma said as they bumped along the rutted road."Nothing but the best for you," Dex said. She smiled at him as she held onto the dash of the truck. "You spoil me.""Sadly this is the best I can do right now, Emma.""It's fine, Dex. As long as we're together."As long as his Emma wasn't with Lucien. He didn't know what the future held, but as long as Emma was in it, he'd consider it bright. Finally, the trees opened up and a cabin appeared. The porch looked rickety, but the roof was intact as far as he could see. "Home, sweet, home."Emma climbed out. "We can work with this."He loved her so much. She'd been through fire and brimstone to be with him and he was going to make sure her life was the best it could be. He stood n
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 35: What We Want
Emma looked around at the people passing by her. They stood in the parking lot of a real estate agency hoping they'll find an apartment. She tried not to gape at the humans who passed by. There were so many of them. "It's a little daunting," Dex said, standing beside her. "I miss the woods already. Even Fang City wasn't this, uh, busy.""Humans tend to pack into cities." He put a hand on her back. "Shall we?""Sure. This person will help us find an apartment?""I'm hoping."He didn't sound positive, but she followed him into the squat storefront office. Pictures of houses were posted in the windows on either side of the door. "Money is a big deal here."He looked at the prices, then grimaced. "Yeah. Hopefully, we can get something safe."They were wolves. They'd be safe here. At least she hoped. Humans weren't a threat. They'd probably run away screaming if she or Dex shifted into wolf form. A bell above the door dinged as they opened it. A woman with long blonde hair poked her head
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 36: Back at the Pack
As Dex parked the truck in front of his house, he already had a checklist in his head of what needed to be done. He'd only been gone a few days, and thankfully no one had challenged his authority so he was still Alpha of this pack. If someone wanted to challenge him, they could bring it. He had his Luna and was more powerful than when he left. "I'll unpack. Do you need to check in with Brutus?" Emma asked. Brutus. Dex didn't know what to do with Brutus and he hadn't told Emma that it had been his Beta who had betrayed her. She hadn't asked any direct questions, but if she did he would be honest. He was aware that Lucien had left her in the dark. He wouldn't do that. It served no purpose. "I do. You don't mind taking care of things here?"She kissed him on the cheek. "You have me now, Dex. You don't have to do it all."He smiled down at her. "I'm glad you're here Emma. I'll be back for dinner.""Call me if you'll be late."He left her doing the domestic chores he hated anyway. He sen
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 37: Welcomed
Emma knocked on the front door with a casserole in her hand. The she-wolf here just had a cub and Emma was making her first visit as a Luna. Her heart sped up a little, unsure of the reaction she would receive. She suspected not all of Dex's pack would welcome her.The door was opened by a small boy who looked at her with big eyes."Daren, I told you not to open that," a woman yelled. She appeared a minute later, a baby in her arms. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she had food stains on her shirt. "Oh, hi. You're Emma right?""Yes. I brought food," she said, then realized how dumb that sounded. Her nerves were getting the best of her. The woman, Carrie, nudged her son out of the way. "Go finish your snack."He left and Carrie opened the door wider. "Come in.""Where can I put this?""If you don't mind, the kitchen would be great."Carrie led Emma that way. "Please excuse the mess," Carrie said. "You've just had a baby. Housekeeping should be a low priority," Emma said, putting
Finding Her Lost Mate Chapter 38: A New Luna
Dex sat at his desk in the Grand Hall. His office overlooked the training field and he had his chair turned so he could see what was going on. Brutus was out there, as was Leyton. "Readying the troops?" Emma said from behind him.He swiveled around in time to see a frown march across her face. "Yes.""I'm sorry that you have to be on high alert."He rose and strode around the desk. He enveloped her in his arms. Would she ever know how happy he was that she was here? Could he ever convey to her the depth of his feelings? He led her tightly. "Please don't dwell on that. No one begrudges you being here."When he loosened his grip, she looked up at him, her brow creased. "Are you sure?""Has anyone said anything to you?""Well, not directly.""If they do, you tell me," Dex said. "I'm the Alpha here. What I say goes." He kissed the tip of her nose. "Besides, all of these wolves have never had a place to go. They will defend this territory readily.""But they didn't have to until I came alo
