Emma’s Pov"Emma, please open the door; I'm here for you." Her pleas stung me and weakened me. Anna had an effect on me, just like a sisterly bond. She must have taken after her Dad because Scott was an exact replica of his mother, but Anna was nothing like them.“I have an idea that I think would comfort you." Anna persisted; it was clear she wasn't going to leave the door.“I want to be alone, Anna, please." I wished she could just adhere to my pleas and let me think.“Just trust me, Emma, this plan would work." I hauled myself, sauntered to the door, and opened it slowly.“Now that wasn't hard, was it?” Anna hurled her hands over my shoulders, dragging me in the process.I laughed weakly at her sudden attempt to put me in a lighter mood. “You do realize I’m pregnant, and I deserve all the love and care."“I’m sorry, my great Luna.” Anna released me and bowed down before me, dramatically, motioning her hands closely to the floor, giving me a chance to walk past her.I shook my head,
Emma’s POV:I wish I hadn't let out my fears to Anna because I was totally regretting it. I was in a chaotic closet; clothes were lying everywhere. Anna was in front of a clothing shelf, examining the clothes.She looked so serious, while I was sprawled to the floor, mentally and physically drained. I couldn't say anything or complain because the moment I wanted to say something, she would hush me.She veered around. “Emma I think we need external help; it's a ball event, and my ball gowns won't be breathtaking enough to sweep my brother off his feet."I just nodded and allowed her to do her thing. Anna was a stylish person, so I trusted her all the time to pick outfits for me.Anna typed into her phone frantically, placed the phone in her right ear carefully, and waited for the receiver to pick it up."Hi, Cindy!" she exclaimed, smiling. “Can you bring the selection of ball gowns I sent to you with a glam squad right away? It's so urgent." She said that and paused for a few seconds.
Emma’s PovThe process of wearing my dress took a village, but after a lot of professional hands and ideas, I finally wore it, and I looked so beautiful and royal in it. I couldn't believe that I could transform into something like this. Now I couldn't wait for Scott to see me.I was nervous about this event, but my gown and face beat gave me all the confidence I needed. My hair was laid out, exuding grace and elegance in a sleek and sophisticated chignon, paired with a bright red pearl-studded headband.My nails were painted tomato red, and I was accessorized in red fashion gloves with finger openings, diamond earrings, a necklace, and rings.Anna looked so good in her dress, too. I loved the way she didn't do too much, but she looked so good.Anna sauntered to where I was standing by the mirror, admiring myself. "Emma, it's time to go; are you ready?” My stomach churned; I wasn’t so completely sure, but I was 80% ready.I nodded, looking into Anna’s eyes. Her eyes held hope and peace
Scott’s Pov:I was thinking Liam was joking when he mind-linked me, asking for the table I was sitting on, and when he told me he was in the hall with my Luna and sister. I surveyed the area for his presence, but I didn't see him.I was still trying to process what just happened when I answered him. Then I looked up again to survey, just to be very sure, and then I saw him approaching me with a gorgeous lady by his side and Anna behind them.The lady looked oddly familiar, and I wondered why because I wasn't acquainted with any of Liam’s numerous ladies. She had a scowl masked on her face, and as she came closer, it then occurred to me that the mystery lady was my very own mate, Emma.I was stunned; she looked totally different and beautiful. Now she was embodying Luna's physical qualities. I was mesmerized by her; my mouth was agape, but I closed it almost immediately. I noticed Ashley was still clinging to me, so I slowly removed her hands from me. I felt like it was unfair for Emma
Scott’s Pov:My eyes followed them into the dance floor. Ashley grunted behind me, “Do you want to dance with me or do you still want to keep frowning at them?"Then it dawned on me that I'd been staring at them for too long and that it could be unhealthy for my eyes.I held her hands, leading her to the dance floor. Her face lit up in extreme joy, but I wasn't interested; I just wanted to be close to Emma and Liam. I couldn't shake off the kind of pain I was feeling as I saw her laughing and happy with another man. If she had taken something, I would have blamed the alcohol.When we got to the dance floor, she came so close to me that I could feel her breath fanning me on my jawline. I clasped her right hand with my left hand and then placed my right hand just beneath her left shoulder blade. Ashley rested her hands firmly on my right arm and shoulders.We began to waltze according to the rhythm of the orchestra. Ashley was a good dancer, so we flowed uniformly. I was staying close t
Scott’s Pov:The house was quiet when I entered; there was no sign of Anna or Liam. Considering that they left the event early, they were nowhere to be found in the house. I wasn’t worried because Liam was with her, and Anna was also capable of taking care of herself.I took giant strides straight to my bedroom. The room was dark when I opened the door. I flicked on the lights by the door, and the room illuminated. Emma stayed quiet on my body, but it looked like she wasn’t exactly comfortable. My hands were aching badly, and her ball gown was super heavy. It was so uncomfortable for me to carry her, considering the ambiguous layers associated with the dress.I quickly placed her on the bed in a sitting position, so she could undress if she wanted to.I moved away from the mirror area. I began to unbutton my blazer first. Emma joined me by the mirror, and she picked up a packet of cotton wipes from the table. She selected four out of the packet and started dabbing them on her face to
Emma’s Pov:My morning was nauseous just like any other morning; this morning was worse than before, and this propelled Scott to finally agree to take me to the hospital for antenatal care. He had always postponed our hospital visit due to work at the border.He had been stressed lately, and sometimes I was so concerned about the state of his health that I wanted to comfort him and just allow him to lean on my shoulders, but he didn't give me the room to do so.My stomach was already out; one could see I was pregnant from a mile away. My back suffered the most, but Anna helped me a lot in massaging my back as my mate was away to fulfill his duties.He came with one of the werewolves working at the border; he looked like he wasn't fitting into the pack. From what I heard, Anna, he was a lone wolf that Scott had mercy on and picked up, so since then he has been grateful and hasn't left Scott's side.As I was at the dining table devouring my mountain of English breakfast and cereal, the
Scott pov:My heart rate accelerated, and on impulse, I rushed to catch Emma before she fell to the ground and caused another casualty.“Doctor, please help!” I yelled frantically. I was so scared for the lives of both the child and Emma. I sat on the floor and cradled her in my arms, and she lay on my chest. “Kendrick, call the doctor, please.“ I literally had to push him to get going. He quickly opened the doctor’s door and went in. We were just outside the doctor’s office when Emma became unconscious.Momentarily, two nurses in purple scrubs hurried over, carrying her up from my body. The doctor came out of the door with Kendrick behind.“Nurses carry her to my office and seat her down on a chair." Doctor Pearson instructed the nurses and paved the way for them to pass. Some of the people who were passing paused to see what was happening. I didn't bother at this point; I just wanted to be sure that Emma and the baby were fine.Inside the office were seats just before the table and a
