With everything that has been going on, the changes, the loses, Emily had almost forgotten her family had not paid their land and property taxes for a very long time, ever since her father's illness had started getting out of control. It was the reason they had lost their house in the town and resorted to living in a mobile home.Now Jack and his pack members have been asked to leave the park if they do not pay up within the next several months.It seems Mathew has been spying on her ex mate, and although Emily doesn't understand why, she is glad he is watching Jack's every movement. During the time that she knew Jack, she had not found out how he earned a living, and paying the huge dept that had accumulated would likely be impossible for him, and he would eventually have to leave. The man Mathew is just from communicating with has told him that some of the wolves Jack had invited to live in the mobile homes have started to scatter once more, to find their fortune elsewhere, apparent
Emily's appearance at the mobile home is, as intended, greeted with shock.Jack looks at her like she is some sort of strange plant that he had never seen before, and it is a moment before he can bring himself to speak. His mind is rushing, trying to decide the best way to convince her to stay (for he believes she is not here to stay, even though he doesn't know the reason she is here) long enough for her to be found by the right people.After a long silent battle with his own thoughts, he decides on something. His face splits up in a smile, showing her his perfect dental formula that she had once found to be very attractive.But now all she feels in his presence is repulsion, the kind of hatred that nothing can ever come close to.It has always been hard for her to pretend, and so she fails to smile back. She knows that his smile is fake and also knows his cunning mind has already cooked up a plan to trap her, punish her or some other crazy thing, and she hopes he doesn't do that. Bec
Unseen and unheard, Mathew has suddenly appeared in front of them, and they both wonder just how much engrossed they were in each other if they failed to see him approach, or even detect his scent.The shock Emily feels is nothing compared to that of Jack, who has his eyes open as wide as they can go, his lips and nostrils as well. It is like he has seen a ghost and gotten petrified by the sight. He begins to take slow, backward steps as though going to the house, and Mathew follows him leisurely, his hands buried in his pockets."Accept the girl's rejection or I am going to expose you!" he threatens, and Emily can only wonder what he is talking about. What does he have to expose about a person he has only met today?"No...you, you...""Accept the rejection, stammering fool! You are wasting my girl's time!"Jack seems to recover from his shock now. "Your girl? Since when has she been your girl? Last I remember, she was still my mate!""That's why we want you to terminate the connection
In Emily's dreams, she is driving her family's pickup truck along a dusty road in the forest.She is alone, listening to music and in a jovial mood. She is startled to a stop when she notices she is no longer alone in the the car. A strange man is sitting with her.A handsome stranger, to be precise, so handsome that Emily forgets to be mad at him for getting in her car without her permission, instead smiling sweetly at him. She scoots closer to the man, who shows surprise on his face at her behavior, then brings their bodies together. Taking her lead, the man wastes no time slipping his hand underneath her tank top, begining to massage her stomach. His hand feels so good, like it is not a hand but a tongue that is touching her stomach. She moans in pleasure, allowing him to kiss her face and her neck, his hand now finding it's way inside her panties.She licks her lips and moans some more, her hips beginning to move in sync with the movements of his hand.His lips move to rest just
She quickly arranges her clothes and gets out of Mathew's bed, then follows him to go and find out what has brought the man here so early in the morning."I am so sorry for interrupting your sleep, guys," the man looks puzzled to find Emily, all the evidence of her having slept here etched on her face. She yawns widely."It's okay. Are you with Ella? You can come and take a seat."The fact that she is even inviting him to take a seat in the house makes him believe that the two of them (Emily and Mathew) are together now. He isn't sure how to react to that."Thank you. Ella sends her regards.""Oh, thanks. I hope she is fine as well."Emily and Mathew follow the man to the living room and sit down when he does, Mathew still shirtless."She is fine, except that she is dead worried about you, now that she found out exactly what happened to you, to your parents."Emily feels her heart skip a beat. She found out? How did she find out?Oh, no. She hopes Ella did not find out that she is a we
"I like to have friends in my life but I would very much appreciate it if humans disappeared from it. If they keep showing up unexpectedly and asking all these awkward questions, I fear they will find out more than they are supposed to, and I might reveal the secret world of werewolves to the humans. And I wouldn't like that to happen," Emily grumbles as soon as the designer has left after telling her that his offer will always be open and she is free to change her mind."I totally understand you," Mathew says, raising his arms for her to walk to him. She goes to him and sits on his lap, leaning her head against his chest. She can't believe she is this comfortable getting close to a man after what happened in her last relationship. She thought she would take a hell of a long time to heal and be ready to be with another man, but Mathew has surprised her. She still wonders whether it is a good idea to do this, but she will follow her heart for now. He might turn out to be good and she h
The discovery that Emily has known about the fact that Mathew was pretending to date her since day one does not sit well with Gianna. Emily had even taken part in the game, willingly. Unbelievable. Now it is her, Gianna, that looked like an idiot, when she had planned for this moment to be humiliating for Emily.She doesn't like this at all, and she prepares to strike again. You might wonder why she is so determined to make make Emily's life miserable, well, it is because she showed up and took everything from her. All she had worked hard for, she is watching it all crumble slowly to the ground.The attention she had gotten used to, the hope of something greater being born of all her efforts, all dying just like that. She has to start all over again. This time, she is going to use a weapon that she knows will be too deadly and will leave Emily more shuttered and lost than she was when she first appeared. It doesn't matter if the majority of the pack like Emily and look forward to the d
The best thing to do now is to avoid the questions. There may be a price he would have to pay for doing that, but it is far safer to pay such a price than to let her find out how messy his love life had been in the past, or how he got to know her ex mate.She doesn't understand that Mathew wants Jack dead so badly, but he can't do anything except leave him alone because it is all supposed to be none of his business. He can only go so far in the name of defending her."Sweetheart, let's talk about something else. If you don't mind, of course."She raises her brow at him."Oh, so now you are avoiding my questions. What a cool, understanding and long lasting relationship we are going to share!""Emily, stop it. I am not going to apologize for sleeping with countless women in the past and I am sorry if you expect me to. I don't understand why you would want to talk about it either. It is all in the past, okay? You are my present and my future, and it is going to be that way for a very long
