Moon's Betrayal Chapter 11
EMMA “So, what would you like to drink?” Ethan asked, turning to look at me while casually leaning his elbows against the bar. His head tilted slightly when he spoke to me. He looked like a walking ad for confidence, so I tried to intake some of that energy. I watched as some people steered away from him, and it was absolutely amusing. He had been serious about their normal reactions. It was downright hilarious to see in person though. They sensed that he was dangerous, so their instincts screamed at them to steer clear. I never once felt that way though. If anything, my instincts said the opposite. “Vodka cranberry, please,” I replied, smirking after noticing everyone’s aversion to him. He threw up his hand to catch the bartender’s attention. Ethan ordered, and I watched as the poor guy gulped and hurried to get our drinks. I took a moment to look around. It was crowded with all types of people. There was no clear distinction of social groups like there were at school. Everyone i
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 12
EMMA “If I’m not worth it, why do you waste so much effort trying to get a rise out of me?” I asked. I looked her over from head to toe. The dress she wore was tight and came just low enough to cover her lady bits. It wasn’t attractive on her at all. She could try all she wanted, but nothing could cover up her personality. Of course, she didn’t respond because she had nothing to say back to that. “That’s what I thought. Heed my warning from earlier. Don’t be stupid,” I said before sitting back down. Marsey, being a dumb bitch, grabbed my hair and yanked, pulling me back to my feet. Both of the guys went to intervene, but I didn’t need them to come to my rescue. I was more than capable of dealing with Marsey’s bullshit. She wasn’t a threat at all. I rolled my eyes before I took a step back with my right foot and planted my body before grabbing her forearms and flipping her over until she was laying against the floor on her back and no longer holding my locks in her greasy paws. M
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 13
ETHAN Dropping her off at her house was the last thing that I wanted to do. Pulling out of her driveway was nearly impossible because I knew there was something wrong, yet I did not stop her. Why the hell did I not ignore her and keep driving? She was right that it was not that simple, but I could not shake the fact that the Marsey bitch would seek repercussions. Emma said that was the first time that she stood up to her, and she did it twice in one day. There was no way she would just let it slide. Xander had moved to the front seat once Emma got out. He just looked at me, confused with my quickly soured mood. He was also confused with my eagerness to get her out of Blacktree. If he had witnessed what I had then he would be too. I had not told him about what happened with Emma because I knew she was ashamed of the lengths she had to take to survive in that pack. She had nothing to be ashamed of though. She survived. That was all there was to that. She did not break. She did not f
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 14
ETHAN We fell into silence, both lost in our own thoughts while we entered the packhouse. We walked up to the third floor next to one another. He stole a few quick glances at Emma but tried to do it without making it obvious. Well, it was obvious that he was interested in her. It was also obvious that he was concerned about her. I had never seen Xander actually interested in someone before. The she-wolves that he had been with were just there for a release. He always made that abundantly clear to them. Sure, they seemed to always forget that, but he never did. I was not even surprised that it was Emma who finally caught his attention. There was something incredibly special about her. She would be great for him, keep him in line, kick his ass whenever the occasion rose, and help him learn to live his life instead of just surviving it. He would be good for her too because I knew Xander. He would treat her like a Queen as long as he did not get in the way of himself. She needed people
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 15
EMMA I had been antsy and could not sleep after Ethan left my room this morning. I stayed in the bathroom until I heard him shut the bedroom door behind him. I felt horrible after going off like that, so I avoided him. I was embarrassed with treating him like shit but also that he saw me in one of my weakest times yet again. How many weak moments could he see before he thought better of getting involved? Granted, Ethan did not seem like that. I just did not want to lose him. I had a lot of baggage, and it was unfair to throw it onto his shoulders as well. My mind ran a million miles a minute, and I could not calm it down. I finally got away from Blacktree and was now currently in the Blood Moon territory. It was the best protection out there. Unfortunately, I was not certain if that would even be enough to keep Ezekiel and Heath out. I was worried about the pack instead of myself. I had to pray that they did not get caught up in the crosshair. Ezekiel needed me alive and in his pos
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 16
EMMA “Can I see the substance?” I asked Ethan. He nodded before going to get it from the safe in the corner. “Wait, is that pure liquid silver?” I asked curiously. I peered into the safe and almost clapped my hands. This would be the perfect opportunity to test a curiosity that had always been on my mind. I did not have the ability to test it before, but now I did. This was going to be fun. “Yes…why?” Ethan asked hesitantly. I flashed him a bright smile and patted him on the back. We were about to conduct a science experiment. How fun indeed? “I have a theory that I would like to test.” He chuckled at my enthusiasm before he brought the entire try over, silver and all. We were both curious creatures by nature, so I knew he was eager to see where this was going. I loved that about him. Back at the screen, I pointed out the similarity again. “This strand of DNA right here is what is responsible for how a shifter reacts to silver. Given that it’s found in both DNA samples, it shoul
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 17
EMMA It had been an entire day since I woke up here at Blood Moon. Everything had been pressing down on me. I did not know which way was up, and I felt drained. My night consisted of a brand-new round of nightmares. The new stars of it were Xander and Ethan. Ethan had been giving me time to process everything, but I was not even sure how to do that. I spent so many years pushing the unpleasant experiences to the back of my mind. Brushing off emotions and becoming numb to the reality around me was the only way to survive and not give in. Papa taught me the strength of one’s character could help them survive even the most hellish of situations. I often wondered if he was just preparing me for life or preparing me for the future I was going to have. In a better world, Ezekiel never attacked our pack. Papa never died. I would become the Alpha heir once Papa was inducted, and I would have taken over as Alpha once he stepped down. Some people would have fought it because I was a she-wolf
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 18
EMMA I reached out to Ethan once we got closer to the packhouse. He forced me to shop, so he could help carry the damn bags. Emma – “Hey, I bought Rome on your credit card. We’re five minutes out. Can you help get the bags?” Ethan – “Only if you brought me gelato.” Emma – “Fresh out of gelato. How about I make you some pie?” Ethan – “SEE YOU IN FIVE” “Ethan will help us get everything in,” I said, putting my phone back in my purse. Diana smiled, pulling onto the drive that led to the packhouse. “I think you’re really good for him even if it is just as a friend. Ethan has always been a little shit who needed someone that could put him in his place. Be patient with Xander. Being Alpha hardened him, but I think you may be able to break through that.” I just nodded without responding. Ethan was a great guy, and I was thankful for his friendship. Was it possible that Diana was right about Xander? That was an area that I had no knowledge in. I hoped she was because I could not shake
