Emily's POVEveryone charged towards the intruders."Keep in groups. They are created this way for a reason. If you go off alone, you will be singled out." I mind linked our fighters."Yes, your majesty," chorused back. Good. At least I know they're listening. Tyler and Huw raced ahead with the others."Give her to me boy and no harm will come to you. I will even give you a consolation prize in return," he painted over to Natalie."Why would I want something like that when I already have the perfect woman for me?" Tyler's words made a smile creep slowly over my face. Listening to their exchange, I hadn't noticed that I was now standing alone with the fighting taking place around me."Feel their energy, their pain. Talk to them," a voice whispered to me in the wind."Why are you doing this? What has gone wrong in your pack for you to turn your back on it?"“We don't like the prophecy or its ending.""For years, silver wolves would dream of being mated to a gold wolf.""Yes, all that po
Emily's POVIt's been almost a month since Nate declared war because his mate, my grandma, chose not to be with him because of the monster that he was. Power and greed can change a person and not always in a good way.I am currently standing in front of the bedroom mirror trying to think of different ways that I can reveal my news to Tyler. How was I going to tell Jenny after what she had been through? I feel really selfish right now."Showtime," I said to my reflection as I left the room. I made my way downstairs in search of my husband."Ty, hunny. Where are you?""In the study babe.""Are you busy?""Just general duties. You're more than welcome to come and make my day better."I could feel the smile in his voice which made me smile. I walked to the study with the small envelope in my hand. I hope this is a good surprise for him, I thought, as the anxiety started to kick in. I reached for the door handle and pushed open the door. "Hey babe, you got a sec? I have something I need to
Tyler's POV"Welcome. How are you both?" Huw and Jenny looked really awkward. "I sure hope nothing's wrong. My nerves are still shot from the last time you looked like this and then the fight.""Let's just go and wait for Emily before we say what we need to," Jenny suggested."Sounds good to me," Huw piped up.We all walked in silence to the dining room. 'Something is going on here. Huw and Jenny seem distant and closed off. How is this conversation going to affect Emily and our news tonight?' I was now panicking until I felt a warm embrace before she even reached me. I'm not going to lie; it helped me relax."Hi guys, how are you? Is everything OK? You don't look so good. Come, sit and have some juice.""Thank you, Em. Um...actually, we have something we need to talk to you about," Jenny started."Sure," Emily said as she poured drinks for everyone."I...I don't know how to say it. Maybe it would be easier to show you?""Whatever makes you more comfortable." I watched as Jenny place
'Tap!' 'Tap!' 'Tap!'"What the actual fudge," I sighed. I waited for a good five minute listening to the sounds around me before deciding there was nothing there before closing my eyes to go back to sleep.'Tap!' 'Tap!' 'Tap!'This time I was wide awake. I kicked off the covers and turned on the bedside lamp.'Tap!' 'Tap!' 'Tap!'I got up and walked towards the window, ready to give whoever woke me up what for. Armed with a scowl that would scare Hades himself, I threw open the curtains and looked outside. Standing out in the garden below my window was my best friend, Jenny. "What the hell girl, I nearly said some unsavoury things." Jenny just grinned from ear to ear listening to me vent a little. I didn't expect anything less from her."Just be grateful I didn't throw the larger stones", Jenny said, grinning, which caused both of us to giggle.Quickly coming back to reality, I remembered that Jenny was still standing on the lawn, "What are you doing here at..." I paused to look at t
After Jenny left, I went back to bed only to be woken up after what felt like five minutes later."Emily," my mother sang, "Emily," again "Emily," a little louder this time, causing me to groan."OK, OK...I'm up, I'm up”, slowly pushing back the covers and sitting up."HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!" shouted my mum and dad at the same time with overly large smiles on both of their faces.I sat up and looked around my room to find gifts placed on the bottom of my bed. "Aww thanks guys," I said smiling, sleep now forgotten."That's not all of them," dad said to me, causing me to look at him in surprise."There's more downstairs," my mum sang, "and there's a special delivery from the Alpha King."Now I am wide awake. Why would the Alpha King be sending me a birthday gift? This is so unheard of.I opened the gifts that were placed on my bed from my parents. A new throw: new pyjamas, you can never go wrong with pyjamas; some of my favourite chocolates, Toffifee yummy and, last but not least, a n
Emily pulled up outside my house in a black 2023 Audi Q5 with tinted windows, and I had to act like I wasn't jealous when deep down I was.I had asked my parents for a car for my 18th birthday, but I was always told the same thing, "wait to see if you find your mate first," my mum said. " If you haven't found your mate by the time you are 21, we will get you a car," my dad would add.Basically, they wanted my mate to buy me the luxuries any young girl would want from life.I got in the car and squealed "this is so you." I could see Emily smile but not the same megawatt smile she usually has. "What's wrong Em? Is there something bothering you?" She handed me a card and I could see the royal seal in the bottom corner. My eyes were wide open as I read and reread the note, she handed to me. "This doesn't make sense. Who is Ty?" "The Alpha King Tyler Greenwood."My head snapped to look at her, "are you freaking kidding me? You had this car from the Alpha King? Why is he signing the card
Being the Alpha King is exhausting. I am expected to do the work of the King, the Queen, the Alpha, and the Luna.Although I have the help from my mother and sister with the tasks of the Luna, I can't wait to find my mate.I need my mate to help me with everything, including with things of a more personal nature. I want a family and a partner in life, not just a queen or a Luna. Someone who will call me out on my bullshit from time to time, ground me, when need be, and be my everything."What am I going to do, Axel? What will become of me if I don't find her?""You will be fine. Why are you stressing so much about it? You have done everything on your own for years. What about Emily?""Well, that's a name I have not heard in years. I haven't even heard from her family. Maybe I should send her a gift for her birthday, but what should I send her?"Rummaging through all the mail on my desk sorting it into order of importance, I came across the invitation to the Moon Ball at the White Rave
Something wasn't sitting quite right with me. I remember turning up at the ball, but why am I back here? I thought to myself.I was standing in my room in front of my full-length mirror after the pamper session at the spa and salon. Running my hands over the red satin fabric before hearing my parents calling me from downstairs.Sighing, I took one more look at myself, grabbed my shawl and made my way downstairs."You look like an angel, honey," cooed my mum as I walked down the stairs, holding onto the railing so that I didn't fall flat on my face."You will be fighting them off with a stick tonight." Both of my parents have huge smiles on their faces which was kind of freaking me out.'Knock, knock, knock'"The car is here, ladies. It's time to go." my dad said as he ushered us out of the door.I am so nervous and can feel butterflies in my stomach. "Everything will be fine," said a voice in my head, making me sit up straight.Jenny got into the car and sat next to me. As soon as the
