Emily’s POV“I am sorry father, I am so sorry, it wouldn't happen again!” My pleading filled the living room of our house. I crawled on my butt trying to get away from him.He was going to kill me, I know he was and nothing was going to stop him, no one. All I needed was a miracle. A miracle that was far from me.I regained consciousness with a slap. Apparently, I almost wolfed out and I had slashed the disgusting man’s face with my claws and his furious ass took back his money from Father and that was the reason why I was here.My father- stepfather was going to kill me!My pleas were nothing to Herschel Liamsworth and he seemed to stick with his decision. No one loved losing money - especially him.“You are the jinx in this family! Because of your presence, I lost a gamble and am in huge debt! You must make up for it and now you plan to kill me. That is why you tried to kill that man in there, isn't it?”“No, I swear I was going to…” I stopped to cough and it was bloodThen Avery a

Emily’s POVIt was dark when I heard the rustling of keys against the door, I quickly sprang up from where I sat on the floor and I watched his towering figure stride into the, wearing an expression of annoyance that could only be a product of my existence. He stood by the doorway, leaning back to give me space but not stepping further into the room. “Get up” he growled.My stomach flipped over at his gruff tone , but with the way he was standing and the way his eyes were burning into me, it was easy to think this wasn’t really a request for me, it was an order. So I obeyed.He threw a bag I didn't notice he was holding at me before turning and striding toward the couch. “Put those on.” His voice boomed through the room. I took a deep breath before moving into the tiny bathroom that could barely pass as a closet.The sink and mirror were rusty and the porcelain was scratched from years of exposure to water and grime. My reflection looked like shit. A dark bruise spread acros

Luka’s POVThat evening Alfred led me to the supposed annual gathering and we did well to blend among the crowd, keeping our presence hidden. It was a good night's worth of dancing though as it was clear that most people were going for a reason other than to socialize.“There are some maidens over there” Alfred whispered to me as if I was blind.I gave him a stern look that made him mumble a few words of apology before hurrying away.I looked at them, each adorned in designer dresses and elegant jewelry, all of them giggling as they sipped their drinks from fancy glasses. They seemed so happy, so carefree, that it almost seemed as if everything would be alright. But I knew that such a feeling couldn't last forever. The world wouldn't keep spinning on it's axis with happiness like this in it. Sooner or later, something will break, someone will be ripped apart and no one ever really gets over what has happened.The girls caught me staring and they giggled louder until their attention
Another Chance Chapter Thirteen
Emily’s POVIt was a lie. Everything I had believed in had been a lie . That's all this whole world was to me right now. A lie, an abomination, a disgusting thing. Everything. Even the sun seemed to have abandoned its orbit around the planet, the sun that I knew as home with every fibre of my being; and yet here I was in outer space, alone in the cosmos, surrounded by nothingness and light and color and heat. It had to be a trick, there must have been some cosmic joke, but there wasn't, because when you've been through hell and back and survived, there isn't any point in laughing at a joke, not even your own. Not unless you want to live through it all over again a second time. But life had taught me that wasn't how things worked out. I had never laughed before. I didn't really believe there were things beyond death anymore. This wasn't how I imagined meeting my mate, I had thought of fairytales and roses , love and laughter. My mate would be beautiful, bright like sunrises on a spr

Emily's POVI lost count of the number of rooms we passed, I wasn't even sure I’d be able to find my way out, and I couldn't tell what fate had in store for me.We finally stopped in front of a door and he led me inside.“Stay here, I'll send someone to you and I'll talk to you later “ Without waiting for my response, he slammed the door behind him leaving me alone.It was a large room with sky-blue curtains that were drawn shut tightly across the windows, there was a vanity mirror on one side, an armchair and couch that laid around the room lazily, but mostly all the furniture was made of wood. The walls were white, the floors polished wood. Everything about it looked immaculate. it had a nice homey quality. There were two vases filled with flowers and plants placed strategically around the room. A King-sized bed was in the middle of the room, covered in pure white sheets and pillows. On the opposite wall was a massive fireplace with an iron mantelpiece, and on the right was a w

Luka’s POVClaire led the girl to where I sat having dinner, the guards stood at a distance and after Claire left, the girl remained fixed on the spot as if she was lost in thought or maybe even dazed from the sudden change of scenery. Her blue eyes were staring at nothing and I could smell her fear from where I sat, she looked like a mouse that had be caught off guard by its own shadow, her hands were trembling in front of her and I could see the sweat dripping down her face like raindrops through an open window.The dress she was wearing wasn't exactly her size, it didn't look bad either , the colour was black. The fabric seemed soft and soft, almost like velvet, the embroidery on the sleeves was of gold thread, but there was something wrong with the garment. “Sit” I told her.She gulped visibly yet not moving an inch.I took a sip from my glass, she stayed rooted to the place. “Sit” I said again. She complied this time, taking slow steps toward the table as she was scared the flo

Emily’s POVI thought I was going to be sick after my encounter with that horrible beast.“He wasn't so bad” my wolf countered.What did she mean? Did she listen to anything he said in that horrible excuse of a dinner? I saw it in his green, he meant every word he had said, he wasn't bluffing and it was a miracle that I didn't die of a heart attack or from trembling too much in his presence. His face was set in stone, he was expressionless but his body language screamed anger, I could see his muscles tensing, clenching, ready to lash out at someone who dared disobey him. I swallowed down the lump in my throat and turned my gaze away from my window.What had I gotten myself into? What had Father gotten me into? of all men, why had the goddess decided to choose him for me? Why?The thought made me shudder. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here in this miserable place. He was a monster, a monster that wanted to control my life and death, just like everyone else.He wanted an heir

Emily’s POVI couldn’t remember when I fell asleep after waking up from the nightmare, but a knock on the door woke me up.It was the King and behind him was a maid a different one from yesterday and she was younger almost my age or Avery’s. She held a tray of breakfast, after dropping it off, she hurried away, returning with a pair of dresses in hangers, dropping them off again, she hurried away.“How did you sleep?” He asked when we were finally alone. His tone made it clear that he wasn't asking because he cared, more like he was compelled to.“Good” He nodded understandingly before saying “You should do your thing, I’ll be back when I think you are done.” He stated while pointing at the breakfast, the clothes and what I had know yesterday to be the bathroom.He looked at me intently. No he was looking at whatever Father had left on my face. His eyes moved from face to my neck over and over again. My hair was behind me and I had forgotten about the marks around it. He moved closer
