Ella shakes her head as she stares steadily at her friend."You suck, Emily," Ella says to her, and when she looks sharply at her, she says, " I mean you suck at lying.""I am not lying. Let's not be going back and forth over the same thing...""Last time, when I called you, you told me you sold the trailer park and moved in with your mother's sister. You told me you had even found a job and working or have you forgotten about all that?"Oh no. She had totally forgotten. She is screwed. She made up that story the day she was feeling stressed after discovering her father's last plea to the Alpha had been to marry her.And then she forgot about it, making up a completely different story today. How is she going to explain her way out of this? She has just been neatly Cornered. One of the things stress makes you do is to forget things you said or did, or where you place stuff, and it can be so annoying and frustrating.She stares at Ella with a worried expression on her face."Ella, there
Emily doesn't know how long she has sat there, secured in her friend's embrace. This is something she didn't know she needed, but it makes her feel good. She feels calmer now, though not calm enough to share the real state of affairs in her life.While she is still leaning against Ella's shoulder, Mathew quietly approaches from the house, a frown appearing on his face as he notices that Emily was possibly shading tears. A lot of things run through his mind at once. Is she still thinking about the human lady she had lived with her entire life? Is she distressed because she doesn't want to live here? What exactly would make her unhappy? Unconsciously, he finds himself looking for the cause of her distress so he can eliminate it. The urge to protect her from as much negativity as he is capable of is overwhelming."Has she been crying? What happened to her?" he asks as he moves closer to the girls.Emily sits up straight immediately, wiping her eyes to remove any evidence of tears."No,
Emily pushes him away from her gently."Thanks for your concern. But I am fine, really," she hugs herself as she moves away from him. "Less of those hugs, please, unless we are in the presence of the Alpha."Why, he would like to ask her, but remains silent. Did she feel something as well? Did she feel the way he felt when he held her soft, petite body? That would make him feel better, because he definitely feels like a psycho for feeling attracted to a girl he shouldn't. She is right. It is inappropriate for them to hug, the action feels wrong in every way. If he continued touching her every opportunity he got, he would make her fall for him, or worse, he would end up falling for her and risk being tied up to her which in turn would get him tied up to this place forever, something he doesn't even want to think about.He nods his head, then explains to her the new design he has chosen for his house, asking if she likes it. If not, he says, he would like her to make her own suggestions,
She goes in her room to get a break from everyone and refresh her mind, only to be surprised by a pile of presents on her bed.Expensive presents, as each one still has a price tag on it.There's no name of the person that bought the presents for her, but Emily knows Alpha Marcus is behind it because his scent still lingers in the room.This is not right. She may be attracted to the man and all that, but she won't have him enter her room anytime he feels like it. She won't even accept the presents, for this very reason, especially that some of them are ridiculous, like a pair of red lingerie she has spotted among the pile.The idiot doesn't have to try so hard if he knows he is the one who is going to marry her no matter what she does. Emily sits on her bed and frowns at the presents, thinking hard.The Alpha has felt the need to buy all these to win her heart, in the hopes that she will want to end up with him and not Mathew. If he feels threatened by Mathew, then it means he lied to
Looking at the man in the picture, she now understands why she's always had the looks of a half Mexican girl. The thick dark hair, eyes and and eyebrows, she got it all from her father. He was a really handsome man, nothing short of perfect.When her eyes move to pay close attention to the woman in the picture, she almost screams and almost drops the object to the floor.It is the fiery red hair she has always dreamed about, telling her that she is the only hope of White Wolf pack.Sweet Lord! She realizes the pack she is standing in is called White Wolf Pack. Could it be that she is a seer of some sort? How come she dreams of such things?That is her mother, it all makes sense now. The day Travis (is it Trevor? she can't remember the name of the demon lord correctly) killed her mother and tried to take her with him. She wonders what she did to escape him, another thing that will forever remain unknown.Unless if Travis decides to repeat the story of what happened to someone, because h
"Where are you going, if I may ask?" The Alpha demands of Mathew, shoving his hands in his pockets and blocking the entrance to Emily's room. "Have you lost your way to your house?"Matthew comes to pause in front of him."I had no idea I had to report to you my every movement. Now step aside. I need to get inside.""You are not going in there. She doesn't want people in her room, she couldn't even open the door to talk to me. You have to head back."Mathew frowns at the older man, as though worried about him. He's behaving really strange and it is getting worse each passing day."Well, let her decide for herself if she wants to talk to me, won't you? Step aside.""You are not going in there.""Don't force me to wrestle you out of there, because I am more than willing to do that."Marcus narrows his eyes then lets out through gritted teeth. "Once again, you are forgetting that you are talking to your Alpha.""You demand to be respected as the Alpha, but you are behaving like a common
Alpha Marcus drags his legs upstairs to his bedroom, and when he gets there, he throws himself on the bed and hugs his pillow.He has given strict orders to the servants not to have his beddings washed or changed because he doesn't want to get rid of the scent that always keeps him calm and sane. He needs the scent more now as he is dealing with challenging issues in his life.He grabs his pillow and covers his whole face in it, taking a good long whiff of it.He knew Mathew would convince Emily to date him one of these days, but so soon after the day they challenged each other? He definitely did not see this coming.He has even moved in her room, which means that the two of them might have already gotten intimate with each other. Even if they haven't yet, they are going to now. He has witnessed the two of them kiss each other like their lives depended on it, and he could tell from the way they looked at each other that it was no show. He could even smell the desire in the air, and he
It is hard for Emily to sleep knowing a man is in the room with her, sleeping on the floor. A man that is gorgeous as all get out. Emily keeps listening for the sounds of movement from Mathew's position on the floor, half expecting him to wake up and join her on the bed.She isn't sure how she would react if he did that.Remembering his big and sexy body she always sees during the day, she colours, thinking that it's a good thing he can't see her.And it kind of feels so wrong to sleep on a comfortable bed leaving Mathew to sleep on the cold hard floor.But he asked for it. Of all places he could have spent the nights, he has chosen her room.He intends to convince the Alpha that he is dating her, but that is a lame excuse to spend time in her room. It is doing nothing more than torture the life out of them both.She listens to the sound of his breathing, wondering if he is bothered by her presence too. He should be, otherwise, her feminine pride would be ruined once again. And thinki
