"And what is that you want to tell me?" she inquires, her eyes bright with excitement. If he really intends to behave like the Alpha, that is asking her to be his so soon after seeing her, she will have to say no, no matter how exciting it would be to hear him say it. The men may be good looking and all, but she would look cheap if she accepted him, even if she was willing go into a relationship after the last one."I know what you are thinking," he says, his eyes boring into hers. "Well, I am surprised," she answers darkly."You think I want to ask you to be my girlfriend. I should think that would be lovely, but I don't date."She takes a slow breath, not knowing whether to be pleased about the words or not. "Then tell me what you want to say. And, please, stop invading my mind without my permission. It is so creepy of you to do that.""Alright, sweetheart. I will not do it again."She nods her head then raises an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue."Look, the Alpha and I were tal
"Am I to understand you are asking me to be your girlfriend right now? Which wouldn't make sense because you are from telling me that you don't want a relationship."Mathew makes a funny face at that, amazed that she has already jumped to that conclusion."Goddess, no. But we have to do something about it. You see, the Alpha said I would be stripped of my position and kicked out of the pack if I don't manage to make you my girlfriend after two weeks."Emily shakes her head in disbelief, unable to understand what these men were thinking making such ridiculous bets. Why should they make her life more complicated than it already is?"Tell me, what is going to happen to the Alpha assuming you do make me your girlfriend?" she asks."He said he will accept that and he will sponsor our honeymoon and never bother you again.""Honeymoon? Wait, are we expected to get married? I am sorry, I...""I know, I know," Mathew says in a soothing voice. "You don't like the idea of being involved with a ma
After coming to an agreement, Emily leaves Mathew's house, going back to the pack house. After the intense training she was subjected to, she is so hungry she could eat a horse, and she goes straight to the dining room hoping to find some food.It is there alright, but unfortunately, the Alpha is also having his breakfast.Alone.Oh no! Too late to back out once again. She proceeds to the table and sits down, pulling a plate of sausage rolls that look creamy and promise great taste. She is surprised, but thankful, that the Alpha does not speak to her immediately. He even pretends not to look at her, but he orders a servant to pour fresh coffee for Emily.She bites into the roll. Just as she expected, it is so good she almost moans at the exquisite taste. She feels like eating this kind of food should be something that should be done when she is alone in the room with the curtains drawn.It is a shame she is eating with one of the most gorgeous men on earth, therefore she has to mind
It has only been a few minutes since Emily left his house, yet Mathew feels like going after her, craving for her presence like a drug he suddenly can't live without.It seems his heart has stopped listening to him, choosing to feel affectionate towards a woman, despite knowing that he will never have time for a woman.His life is hard enough as it is, he won't complicate things further by involving Emily in it.He can feel himself getting really attracted to her at a fast rate, and he tries to assure himself that it will pass. It is hard for any man to resist her, but if the feelings grow beyond anything he is able to control, he can always leave earlier than he planned. At least now she knows that he is not the marrying kind, not that she wants him to marry her. Just in case she happened to fall for him.He is having breakfast at his small dining table, the weather outside is gloomy, affecting his mood. For the very first time in his life, he feels really lonely, a very unwelcome fe
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
