Marcus must have figured out that his words have gotten her in a fix because he sits back in his chair, a satisfied expression on his face.Emily gets to her feet, murmuring to the Alpha about needing to think over the new revelation. She goes out of the room but not before hearing his voice float to her,"Yes, you have always been mine, your father gave you to me. You better remember that in whatever you decide to do."She rushes outside for some fresh air, and as soon as she closes the front door behind her, her phone rings. About damn time, the thing has stayed silent for too long. Often, it was her mom and her ex mate, Jack, that used to keep her phone busy, and now with both of them out of her life, she guesses it must be one of her two closest friends.And she is right.There's Ella's name on the screen, the girl she has known since she was a kid. They watched each other grow up in the trailer pack, shared long conversations about leaving the small town and exploring big cities
After Emily's departure, the Alpha sits at the table for a long time, thinking over the recent game he has decided to play. What he is from telling her is of course not true, but he is willing to do anything to get her to accept him as his wife. He will not wait to see the triumph on the other man's face after he has succeeded in getting the girl. No. Marcus will not sit back and wait for the worst to happen. He feels a bit bad about lying to her, especially that he is accusing his long gone best friend of saying something he never did. He hopes wherever he is, he will understand, even be pleased that he, Marcus, will be the one to marry his daughter. He supposes there is some truth to what he has told the young woman; her father did ask him to take care of her after she was found. He pleaded with him. What better way to ensure she is protected than to marry her? Again, he is doing the right thing..."No, you know you are not doing the right thing. She is too young. Besides, what about
Emily feels restless the whole day, and nothing she does makes her feel better. The anxiety and worry is too much that she has lost hope of ever getting out of this. It is stress after stress, before she can fully recover from one stressful incident, another one follows close behind. This is all her life has been lately, and she wonders if she will ever get out of this, the consistency is appalling. To distract herself, she goes to help plant a new variety of plants that has just been bought in the late afternoon. The man who works with her is cheerful and fun to chat with when you are feeling down.He is a very tall man with a long face and kind brown eyes. Some people just look like they have a kind of super power to make most of life's problems roll over them without affecting them in the least, and the Gardener seems to be one of those people. Life must be hard, being poor all your life and ending up tending to flowers in your older age, Emily doesn't want to imagine herself in su
"I slept with both Mathew and Marcus. So don't think you are important just because you are are getting temporary attention from them, they do that with everyone, and you will soon be crying once they get bored of you," Gianna's mean voice reaches her ear."Okay," Emily says, unperturbed. "Anything else?""Yes!" Gianna shouts, not liking the fact that her words don't seem to affect Emily."Say it now and leave. I Have things to do!""I also want to tell you that you are not the only one who was mistaken for the Alpha's daughter. My sister was too, and she actually got to enjoy her life for that."At this, Emily fails to mask her surprise, gaping at the other woman in shock."Are you telling me the truth?" she asks in a low voice. Gianna takes pleasure in the fact that she has hit a nerve this time""I am telling you the truth. I just wanted to warn you in advance so you won't get disappointed in the future.Emily studies Gianna's face, then shocks her by saying defiantly."Well in that
Gianna makes a mean gesture with her finger at Emily before leaving the room, banging her door closed behind her.After she has left, Emily sighs, running a hand through her wet hair.Is it possible there is truth in the woman's words? Surely she was just trying to get a reaction, any kind of reaction, from her? It is obvious she is an attention seeking little b*tch, and she had to do all she could just to frustrate Emily. Or she was saying the truth. Speaking of the sister that was mistaken for being the Alpha's daughter, where is she now? Does she still live in the pack and secretly hate her? If so, Emily is in for a lot of drama. She hopes with all her might she will indeed turn out to be mistaken, even though she knows that is not possible. She can just feel it, she is the Alpha's daughter.But she will take care of that if there is a way to get rid of Alpha blood or whatever they call it. She will look around in the morning to find the woman that had been mistaken for the Alpha
In this pack and right at the grounds where they are currently gathered, Emily can't help observing the number of handsome men, young, middle-aged and old alike.But there is something about Mathew that makes him stand out in any crowd, those raggedly handsome looks, the confidence in his walk and the killer smile, it would all drive any healthy female crazy. And all the unmated she wolves are going crazy, as usual. Earlier, they were all fighting to be near Alpha Marcus, two of them almost getting involved in a cat fight just to have a chance to be his training partner, and now their attention is caught by the younger man.One can't decide which of the two men is better looking, both being dead gorgeous in their own way.The fact that Mathew appears younger makes him all the more desirable, but the funny part is that being older also makes Alpha Marcus more appealing to marry. He gives the impression of having more experience, stable and well ahead in terms of life achievements. Not
She is probably thinking too much. If she is not into the idea of falling in love and all the sh*t that comes with it, Mathew hates the idea even worse than her. He made that clear the first time she visited his house, when she found out Twyla was forcing things with him.Oh, of course, Mathew must want them to start the game right now. The Alpha is in sight so the two of them have to start behaving like they are in love with each other."Right," Emily smiles at him.She tries to pull her hand out of the Alpha's grip but he holds on tightly, unwilling to let her go."In case you haven't noticed," the Alpha says to Mathew, his voice dripping poison. The two men must hate each other a great deal, judging from the tension in the air as they lock eyes, and Emily suspects that she has nothing to do with this hatred. It is old, but whatever caused it, it is real and intense. "I have chosen her as my training partner. And you will do well to back off."Mathew ignores him, looking at Emily ins
The first thing that enters Emily's thoughts is, 'how did she find me?' but upon looking at Ella's face, it soon becomes clear that Ella had no idea that she would find her in the house because she's just as shocked as she is.Ella still looks exactly as Emily remembers her; the adorable baby face, round with big blue eyes and a bump for a nose. She had always appeared to be younger than the rest of her friends and always perceived by strangers as a kid, and that can sometimes have it's advantages because people become themselves when they think they are in the presence of a kid. Which allowed her to read people easily.And she still has the same looks, nothing has changed about her except the hair that she dyed a bright pink.Last Emily remembers, Ella did the same college program as her, and it is puzzling to see that she is possibly an interior designer.Maybe she is the man's girlfriend?Only one way to find out."Emily!""Ella!" The girls shout at the same time, rushing into each
