Emma refuses to tolerate disrespect towards those she loves and cares about. This will become widely known over the course of this book and the next. Remember, she was raised in a dangerous situation without the protection of a wolf. She had to know how to protect herself in all situations.
EMMA Xander scooped me up bridal style and ran towards the packhouse. I looked up at him, taking in his handsome face that was filled with such determination. It was easy to see that his torture of me also tortured himself. Two could play at that game. My fingers trailed down his neck and across his collarbone. My lips connected with the juncture of his neck that would one day bear my mark for all to see. I teased it with my lips at first and then my teeth. He angled his neck to the side, to give me more access. I bit it harder than I ever had before. A growl slipped from his lips, making me do it again. We made it to our bedroom in record time. He nearly tore the door off the hinges to get it open and kicked shut with a loud thud. That predatory aura oozed off him, making my thighs clench. My breath whooshed from my lungs as my back collided with the wall. His lips captured mine with bruising and demanding force. It was hard, rough, and I needed more of it. He bit down hard on m
XANDER ‘How did we get so lucky?’ Kai asked, as we dressed and walked towards the War Room with Emma in our arms. ‘No fucking idea,’ I answered honestly. I really had no clue as to why we were brought together, but I was eternally grateful, nonetheless. She was everything we could want and then more. Nobody could be our equal except her. She was not afraid to challenge us or put us in our place when she felt we needed it. The list of people that could get away with that was limited to very select names. We have not even slept together yet, but if this foreplay was any indication, we would find the highest planes of pleasure. I loved how I did not have to hold back with her. Not to mention that she enjoyed when we were rough with her. I was initially worried about that given Blacktree’s maltreatment of her, but she thrived off it with us. It made everything that more exciting. The way she stood up against Freya was downright the sexiest thing I ever witnessed. Freya threw accusatio
XANDER “I need to take care of some work. Would you like to join me?” I asked. Her breathtaking smile was all the answer that I needed. I knew Ethan had patrol duty tonight, so it would just be her and I. Surely, we could get something accomplished. ‘Keep telling yourself that,’ Kai laughed, but I just ignored him. I knew that Emma would keep me on track because she took this just as seriously as I did. For her to make it a condition made me proud as hell. I could and would worship her curvaceous body later. “I’ll meet you right there,” she said before jogging up the stairs. I let myself take in the nice view of her ass, remembering what we did earlier. Who would have thought that this she-wolf would crave that type of stimulation just like I did? I shook the dirty thoughts from my mind before heading to the office. Yeah, she would be my downfall, but I would gladly fall for her. The trade proposals had to be narrowed down drastically. It was impossible to accept every proposal,
XANDER Emma was a vision when she was awake, but she looked like an angel when she slept. Her hair fanned out around her, and she looked completely peaceful. There was no pain, no stress, and no worries when she was like this. We simply talked last night. It was the most intimate thing that we had done together. Talking with her was effortless. Emma had this way about her which opened Kai and me up to expressing ourselves. It was a newer experience, and only Emma could achieve that. My heart and soul were at peace when in her presence. I learned that she did not have a favorite music genre. It was more about the lyrics and beat to her. Her favorite color was silver, not because of her rings, but because her father taught her to embrace the things that made her different. Silver was what made her different to the others around her. Nobody ever knew why she was born with the rings. Kai and I just thought it made her that more fascinating. She told me about what her life was like befo
EMMA We left the bank and got back into the truck. I tucked the card into my wallet before placing it back in my purse. From the teller’s jealousy, it seemed that the particular card I received meant something here. I wanted to ask, but it was not important at the moment. Xander and Ethan were talking about a rogue situation in a neighboring pack. I knew I should be paying attention because I was squad now and the future Luna. However, I was unable to no matter how hard I tried. My mind was somewhere else entirely. A few pieces of writing here and there of something I had not read in weeks was flitting through my mind. I tried to focus on the memories and slow them down, but it was proving impossible. It was just out of reach. I stared out the window as I tried to remember exactly what it said. What did it say? I wanted to growl in frustration because of it all. It said… “Sweets?” Ethan said, tapping on my shoulder and pulling me out of the shitstorm of thoughts. “Hmm?” I asked,
EMMA We walked hand-in-hand out to the living room to discuss everything that happened. Ethan flopped down in the armchair while Xander pulled me onto his lap. I leaned my head against his shoulder and absentmindedly trailed my fingers over his collarbone. “I can’t believe it. That explains the ridiculous sparks and being drawn to you from moment one. Don’t forget the possessiveness. Many she-wolves nearly lost their eyes and lives. I don’t know how I got so lucky,” I said, laughing softly. I was incapable of loving anyone or anything as much as I loved them both. This was why I always felt complete in their presence. They were my completions. They were my home. “Kai and I are the lucky ones, love,” Xander said, brushing his warm lips over mine. Lips that would only ever touch mine again. No wonder we were pulled so strongly towards one another. Ethan cleared his throat, drawing our attention to him. “There is a fourth wheel over here.” He was right. I sighed and sat up to look a
EMMA His eyes held me captive with the love and adoration swirling around in them. I reached up and brushed some of his hair out of his handsome face. His cock pressed against my entrance, causing a fresh round of arousal. The longing and anticipation were doing good things for my body. I wanted and needed him. Xander’s mouth devoured mine while his thumb rubbed my clit. I knew he was worried about causing me discomfort, but it would only be temporary. “Just do it quickly,” I begged, needing to feel him fully. He was fully sheathed inside of me in one quick thrust and paused to let my body adjust to the intrusion. Holy hell he was large. Tears prickled behind my eyes. Was that why people said to do it slowly? Xander kissed the few tears that fell from the corners of my eyes while whispering words of love to me. It only took a few moments for the stinging to be replaced with sparks. Then I could truly feel how much he filled me, and how complete I was. I thrusted my hips up to me
XANDER Mate. She was legitimately our mate. We believed that she was ours, but now it was confirmed. Sure, it did not happen in the traditional way. Shifters reached eighteen, found their mate, mated then marked their mate, and became tied together forever. Our way was unique just as our journey had been. This did not diminish the truth. Emma was our mate and Luna. Now and forever. Last night’s revelation of Emma’s aura called for a squad meeting before training. I knew that she was uncertain about how the guys were going to take the news, but I knew that she had nothing to worry about. They would always be in her corner. She had already won over nearly everyone she met in the short amount of time since coming to this pack. Sadly, she did not see that or believe it was true. Emma was a spitfire, by far the bravest person I had ever met, and she was genuine. She refused to put up fake pretenses, spoke her mind freely, and would not bat an eye with putting the entire world in their p
