Another Chance Chapter Seven
Emily's POV“Come on try them on” Mother urged, her hands clasped together in a cherry excitement that I had never seen before. As usual, I looked at them for an answer first as to what they were for. It wasn’t often I got a surprise gift from someone, I almost- rarely - never did.I stared at the mini black dress with glitters of fake diamonds and sequins adorning it. It seemed too perfect for me. A small part of my mind screamed that this is not a good idea, that something bad will happen if I wear this dress. The other parts were cheering that I could finally get away with wearing a dress like this.But I stripped from the worn-out grey T-shirt to the plain white button-up skirt I was previously wearing. The dress fit perfectly, hugging my figure nicely. The long sleeves covered up the marks from all of my abuse. Mother smiled widely, “Good girl, now let’s see you change, I'll fix your makeup” She said, leaving the room for a moment. When she returned she put a few things into my

Luka's POVThe hotel was supposed to be the best they had in town but it looked like a cheap place with too many rooms and not enough beds. I wonder how Alfred had managed to locate this place.When I got to my room, it didn’t look as bad as I had expected it to be. The bed seemed more solid than it had looked when we had walked in. That was good. At least now I was getting proper sleep, instead of the usual hours of tossing and turning, and maybe that was why it still didn’t look so terrible. I “I'll be in the next room if you need me” Alfred’s voice echoed through my room. I had forgotten he was still here.I nodded at him but still didn't turn until I heard the creaking of the door as it closed behind him.I saw her amber eyes against her freckled face and I knew immediately that it was wrong - she was dead. There was no way her heart could still beat or her lungs take a breath.I remember her battered body on the cold ground in the woods . Her lifeless eyes staring up into noth

Emily's POV"Attention, gentlemen!" Mother shouted while grabbing my arm. Her tall stature made me sink like a malnourished beggar beside her.All the men who were here turned their heads towards us, even some of them who were making out without shame.“Where’s our money Lucia” one man scoffed.But Mother smiled seductively at him but said nothing.“This time I brought a very special item.” She grabbed my arm again and knocked me off balance. "She is Emily, my darling daughter" Her words reeked of sarcasm and fake happiness.Suddenly all the men were excited but like they had never seen a woman before. Their eyes looked lustfully at me.I couldn't pretend I no longer had an idea on what was going on, I just couldn't believe it. It seemed unreal like I was in a dream.I had to be dreaming right? There was no way they could possibly do this to me, they couldn't be that mean.“Since my handsome husband has a small debt. we are being generous to offer our step-daughter in exchange for a

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
