Eight years ago, Emma Parker lost her parents in a battle against rogue werewolves. Her parents, the Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack, had bravely sacrificed themselves to protect Alpha Luke, Luna Gloria, and their son.
Despite their great loss, the pack continued to thrive under the leadership of new Alpha Logan and new Beta Andrew, who happened to be Emma’s brother. Together, they worked hard to strengthen the pack by training and educating their fellows.
Throughout this difficult time, Emma received the caring support of her brother Andrew, as well as Luke and Gloria, and gradually grew mature.
On her 18th birthday, Emma was looking forward to her first shift in the presence of her loved ones and the possibility of meeting her mate. However, her excitement quickly turned to disappointment as she made her way downstairs, only to find Sienna, a bitchy and mean girl, standing in her way.
“Can you please take him home, Daisy?” I said, making Andrew shake his head. “I am not leaving her,” he said as he took a step closer to the window. “I am staying here.” “Andrew, honey…,” Daisy spoke, but he interrupted her. “No,” he said, glancing at her. “I am not leaving.” “You need to…
“Fair enough,” he said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I smiled at him and we continued walking toward our mom’s office. I took a deep breath as Lex opened the door. We walked inside and Anna looked up at us. “How is she?” Anna asked worriedly. “Fighting,” I said. “She has a…
“Talk, Anna,” my uncle said sternly as he sat back down. Anna took a deep breath and began explaining to them what she told Fia and me earlier. I shut her out completely. I couldn’t listen to that again. I couldn’t even imagine it. It just couldn’t be true. It was just one irrelevant sentence…
Emma’s POV “It’s tight, isn’t it?” Sienna said mockingly. I stopped trying to free my hands and looked up at her. “You will never get your hands free,” Sienna said, chuckling darkly. “You will die in that chair.” Anger blinded me. “Well, if that is the only way to get away from you, I won’t…
I ignored him completely. I looked behind him and saw my son and my daughter. Mason and Daisy were there too. All of them looked worried and afraid and my heart clenched painfully. I wished that I couldn’t reassure them and tell them that everything was going to be okay. I wished that there was…
“What rumor?” Logan asked. “That her fated mate was going to reject her,” Anna said and Logan tightened his jaw. “The witches thought that her fated mate would be even more jealous of her cursed mate if he rejected her and later saw that she had another mate who would accept her. They thought it…
“Of course you weren’t,” I told her as I leaned my forehead against hers. “You couldn’t see us, but we were all there with you, Emma.” I caressed her cheek and took a deep breath. “I am always with you, baby,” I said as I placed a hand above her heart. “I am with you…
Hunter tangled his fingers into my hair and grunted. “Goddess, I wish I didn’t have to go,” he mumbled against my lips. “I don’t know how I will survive without you.” I chuckled a little and caressed his cheek. I started caressing his jaw and I enjoyed feeling his beard under my fingertips. It grew…
Emma’s POV I was awoken by a loud knock on our front door. I opened my eyes and groaned. What time was it? I blinked a few times and let my eyes adjust to the darkness in my room. The moonlight that shone through my window was bright enough for me to look at my…
“Do you think that she is fighting Dad right now?” Fia mumbled and I looked at her. “I don’t know,” I said, shrugging. “She doesn’t look like she is struggling.” Fia sighed and furrowed her eyebrows. I placed an arm around her shoulders. “She is on some meds,” Fia mumbled. “They are keeping her fever…
