Esme's POVDarkness enveloped me, suffocating me in ways it hasn't before. The air was heavy with the scent of damp soil even though its summer time, a nice reminder that I am still alive. It was also nice of them, whoever it is, to keep me in an uncomfortable dress to sit in, I'm putting up a heavy wall where my emotions lay so no one can see that I am scared shitless and I want to cry. Fear gnawed at my core as I struggled to piece together the memory to which I can't actually remember. Bits and pieces keep popping in to my mind, but I can't tell what's real and what I am trying to think has happened or did happen.My head throbbed with an incessant ache, and I can't feel Alana either so whatever has happened it is also effecting her too! Panic surged through my veins as I realized the grim truth: I had been kidnapped.How had I ended up here? Where was I? And most importantly, did anyone know I was missing? My thoughts raced, but they led only to dead ends.As I lay there in the su
Jaxon's POVI've always been a man of action, but these past four days have been a test of my patience and my love for Esme. She's been missing for four days, and I can't shake the feeling that something terrible has happened to her, my skin is itchy and my hands are clammy to shit. I know she's not dead, because if she was, I'd be a wreck, unable to function and feeling as though I have died as well, and I probably would feel like I have died if she did but I have our two children to hold onto right now, even though I can't think straight. But the thought of her being out there, alone and scared, is enough to drive me mad.Our children, have been my saving grace and my ass because I am ready to kill in my wife's name and I don't and have never thought I would need or want to do that. They don't understand what's going on, but I've tried my best to comfort them, to make them feel safe. I've held them close, read them bedtime stories, and tucked them in at night before going out huntin
Jaxon's POV I've always been a man of action, but these past six days have been a test of my patience and resilience. Finding Esme, my wife, has been a long show of failure on my part. I've never felt so helpless. The thought of her being in the hands of Adeline once again, even after I promised to protect her, a woman who has caused her nothing but pain for the last five years, is a constant weight on my heart.On one hand, I want to curl up and shut the world out, but on the other hand, I want to tear up all the lands and anyone standing in my way to find Adeline, to hurt her the way she has hurt Esme. But today, my luck starts to rise again.Charlie, one of my most easiest people to get along with once you get to know him, comes to my office in sweats and pants, his face flushed with determination. "Charlie?" I say while handing him a bottle of water to cool off aa minute, I have ran over the fine blue print so many times but I just can't see where I would find this place."Jaxon.
Tomorrow me and my brother Finley turn 18. I get my wolf tomorrow and I hopefully also find my mate. I work in the packhouse doing jobs that no one wants to do and it gets tiring after a while because they make me do it all by hand."Oi, mutt. this kitchen needs to be cleaned ready for the ball tomorrow"Each year a pack will hold the annual ball and unfortunately for this year our pack will be holding out the event. Great. Just great.My mom and dad don't care about me they are more concerned about the other kids accept me and Fin, were like the black sheep of the family basically.They have never been bothered about us. Even when we tell them that I usually get abused by everyone at work she shows no emotion no nothing. My older sister is everyone's favourite. She's perfect in every way possible."Ouch!" I look up to see the devil in she-wolf form standing with her 6 inch heals on pinning my ankle down to the floor."Are you doing your job properly bitch. We have guests in less than
Esme's POV I got up this morning with nothing but pure excitement. I get my wolf today and I couldn't be anymore happier. Both me and Finn haven't had much good luck over the years so I'm hoping we both find our mate. Wishful thinking. "Good morning Esme! Happy birthday" Finn says with excitement cladding his voice. He's just as hopeful as me. "Morning Finn! You excited for today?" I ask waiting in anticipation for his answer. "I am I'm hopeful to get my wolf today! It's just a shame that I have to work as well" "Yeah I know. Your lips turning blue. How is your bruises on your stomach and back? Have they healed yet?" He asks with concern written on his face. "I'll be okay. It's my birthday today so no one will bother me. I'm very hopeful of that" I hadn't even been at work for an hour and Elisa had summoned me to do the living room floor by hand and also the kitchen floor by hand because they don't like me using the mops. "I expect all of this to be in pristine condition when
Alpha Dylan's POVI've known for the last 7-8 weeks that Esme has been my mate. It's illegal for a wolf to tell an underage wolf that they are there mate. So even if I wanted to reject her I couldn't.I really wanted her sister to be my fated mate she's the one I love not Esme. She's just a lowly omega who works for us doing the shit no one else can be bothered to do. She gets the odd beating if she's not compliant or if the job she's done is not up to standards.She must have her wolf because Jared my wolf is going absolutely wild in the back on my mind. He's wanting to accept her and mate with her but I can't have that. Once she notices me I can tell she already knows I'm her mate but I have to reject her and I have to do it today. Now even."No...No this isn't happening""Out. We need to talk. But not here."She walks outside knowing what's coming I hope. Jared is going wild and it's doing my head in.'She's our mate. She was made for us and she can become stronger. You can train
Jaxon's POVIt's 11:30 am and we have a 5 hour drive up to Waterside pack. In one car is me and my Beta Charlie who is also my brothers. There is 3 years between us but we never wanted to become Alpha he has always preferred to do other duties and feared that he wouldn't be good enough.We're 2 hours into the drive and I'm ready to throw out hunter. Hunter is my gamma and acts as third command of me and Charlie are not here he is in charge and takes care of the major issues and even minor issues."I might find some hot girls tonight you know" Hunter says while flicking through some emails."You know you could at least pretend to make a conversation with them instead of just screw them and leave them" I say without hiding my irritation."Just because you haven't found your mate yet don't mean to say I have to have one""Anyway back to my night at this pack""No more or I throw you out and you walk there""Your such a party pooper Jaxon"'Yeah yeah. Course I am. I'll take been a party p
Esme's POVI'm on my way to work when I get stopped by Adeline. I can't be dealing with her right now my hearts to heavy to listen to her whining about something."Oh poor Esme. Dylan rejected you because he didn't want you so you try to make him jealous by showing up to work with a smile on your face"I turn around waiting for her to carry on but she doesn't, she's stood there trying to make me break. It's working but I certainly won't allow her to see that. Dylan's walking towards the door and I kindly ask her to move."If you don't mind Adeline I have work to do""I do mind. And its Luna to you"Alpha Dylan approaches us and is glaring daggers my way like I have done something wrong. What could i have possibly done to him this time?"I told you not to come into work tonight its for guests and work members." He says so coldly."I am working." I tell him while looking at the floor. "It's only 4:45 alpha I said I would work until 7. Elisa told me she didn't want me slacking so I wont.
