Emily pov
I opened my eyes to welcome a new day, I wanted to get up but the arms around me tightened, that’s when I remembered the happenings of last night. Just like they had promised, I get to be of service each morning and each night. I look behind me to find Wilson still there, weirdly, last night was the first time he had come this week, another weird fact is that he was damn gentle, but what shocks me most is the fact that he stayed behind and I wake up to find him here. I have gotten used to being tapped then left on my own. But nonetheless, it feels good to be in his arms, but I can’t stay here now, I have a lot going on today so I need to get moving. After a lot of difficulty, I manage to leave his arms and hand him a pillow, which he hugs close. I stand there to admire him while he sleeps, it’s the first time I have ever seen any of them asleep, and damn does he look gorgeous, his messy hair, drool worthy muscles. I stand there for a bit before running to take the shortest shower I have ever had besides the Peter incident. I come out all dressed to find him still asleep. I tiptoe to the door and try to open it but it won’t budge. ‘typical’. They only open the damn door after I get my injection, and need I say, I hate it, each time I get one, I feel myself getting weaker. I look back to the bed, ‘maybe he has the key’ I couldn’t control the smile on my face when I went towards him, I was happy, because, should I find the key, I’ll get to avoid that damn thing. The second I make it to the bed, my hand freezes in mid-air.
“don’t even think about it, you get your injection, you can’t escape it, besides, just like you, I’m waiting for Williams to open the door” Wilson says, eyes closed. I instantly take a step back and look at him, taking my hand back with me. I stand the awkwardly but he still does not open his eyes or try to get up. “can you come back to bed, I’m tired of hugging a pillow” he says throwing the pillow and reaching out his hand. I stand there confused. ‘like what the f*ck is up with this guy?’. I just stare at him and I could see him getting impatient. “can you just get on the damn bed” he yells in frustration and that has me moving. We stay there hugging for a moment, I wanted to ask what was up with him, but before I could, the door is thrown open, and in comes Williams, he looks over at us and he looks mad, I know what mad means, it means I get double the dosage, and I can’t do that. I struggle in Wilson’s arms but with no luck, he tightens his arms around me. “please let me go” I tell him looking at the angry mate before me, and thankfully, he sighs before he finally lets me go. “you are no fun” he says as he lazily gets up, grabbing his shirt and making it out the door, leaving me to face his furious brother.
I was on my way to bring guys some coffee, one black one sugar spoon for Wilson, and for Williams, sigh, one black sugar free, three glasses of water, one cold, one hot, and the other room temperature, he’s demanding, and I don’t plan to argue with him today, not after he was kind enough to give me the normal dosage and proceed to ignore me. Today I was in an extremely good mood, David is coming over to check up on me, as promised, and Jacob wants to meet his mate, he has accepted him and ready to live with the consequences that come with it, but to my request, he won’t tell the guys or get marked just yet. And today I get to be with them, just one problem, I have to get permission from ‘them’. With Teresa and Peter going with us, I think they will agree. I carried the tray all the way to their office, I knocked then made it in before anyone could answer, it’s something they told me to do, the minute I made it in, I almost dropped the tray, the scene before me had my heart breaking.
Williams had his shirt unbuttoned, holding Amanda’s hands, while Wilson, held her by the waist, the three were practically glued together. I looked at them and hid my emotions pretty well as I went in and placed the tray on the table and stood there, “I wanted to ask you something” I said ignoring the stares they sent my way, “what do you want, can’t you see we are busy” Williams replied as he pulled Amanda closer, caressing her cheek and kissing along her neck, while the b*tch moaned and sent me an evil smirk, which I ignored. “I want to go out today with Jacob, Peter and Teresa” I said looking unaffected by them, hopefully, since I could feel my body ache. “and who will service me tonight if you leave?” he smiled. ‘the b*tch in your arms’ I wanted to say but held them back and just stared at him, this time, even Wilson stopped looking at me and opening and closing his mouth like a fish and stared at his brother in disbelief. “I’ll be back by midnight” I stated keeping my cool, and he just laughed. “you can go, but should you be late…” he chuckled and I rolled my eyes before leaving, not forgetting to thank him as I shut the door.
I could barely hold my body up after I left the office, it a wonder how I made it down the stairs to the kitchen. The minute I shut the door, I just collapsed by the wall. I couldn’t control the pain I was going through, I could feel my heart bleeding, but I guess I should thank them for not marking me and helping me not feel Nora, or else, I would be worse. I lied there and let the tears fall, I don’t know how long it took, before the door was opened, revealing Teresa. “goodness, Em, what happened, are you ok?” she asked anxiously as she ran to me. What do I say? Physically, I am fine, the pain is gone, so I know they have stopped, but the sense of betrayal is I just too strong. “talk to me Emily” she said hugging me and I just lost it, “I saw them T, with Amanda. I thought she was just trying to piss me off all the time she told me that she is their luna and that she gets to be with them, but I saw it today, they were all over her, and didn’t even stop when I was in the room. Why did this have to happen to me? I know they don’t want me, but I respected that, I thought it would be fine if I at least get to please them, but I’m not even enough for them sexually. They changed this week and I thought things were looking up, but I was so wrong” I couldn’t stop crying and Teresa just held me, rubbing my back.
We got out of the car and made our way to the club, we were to meet David here, it’s a club outside the territory, besides, it’s amazing to be around humans, it makes thing easier. “let’s go get wasted” Teresa shouted punching the air as she rushed forward, with Peter right behind her, with the worried wife expression, leaving me and Jacob laughing. You see, after our little moment in the kitchen, I made her swore not to tell anyone on it, I don’t want Jacob and Peter going crazy and going against their best friends. Besides, today I need Jacob to meet his mate, it would certainly help me with his whining, all I have heard all week is David this, David that. I have talked more about David in this one week than I have in my eighteen years of life.
The minute we made it inside, Jacob held me back, “he’s already here” he said hiding behind me. “are you hiding from your own mate?” I asked with a little smile, it was rare to see a him be so girly. “I’m not hiding, but what if he doesn’t like me? look at my clothes, what if I don’t leave a good impression?” he was holding me by my shoulders while he panics. “really, that’s what your worried about, look at this girls staring at you, besides, you are rocking those jeans” I told him but he just held me tighter. I was right though, he looked amazing, and had girls looking his way blushing, if only they knew he is gay. I laughed a little and he went mad. “this is not the time to laugh, I should have worn my white shirt, being in all black makes me look goth, he is sure to hate me, I sh…“ he didn’t even finish his sentence when, “you look amazing” David’s voice came behind me, and Jacob let go of me almost instantly and blushed. I just stared amazed. I turned to find my beta scratching the back of his neck and I let out a chuckle, I guess he is nervous as well. “let me leave you guys alone” I laughed as I left and went to sit by the bar. I ordered my drink and watched the guys, T and Peter were dancing while the other pair made it out the door, I guess they want privacy, but it won’t hurt to tease them. So I linked David, “don’t take advantage of him” I cucked and he growled through the link. “don’t you have better things to do?” he asked annoyed.” where are you taking him anyway?” I was curious. He chuckled, “I booked a room in a hotel nearby, I’m looking forward to getting a piece of his…” I cut him off. “I don’t need to hear your dirty thoughts.” I shut the link and shivered. ‘well good luck Jacob’ I did a little prayer for him.
I have been sitting here for a good hour listening to Blondie here. This guy appeared out of nowhere and just sat here talking about his problems, apparently his girl left him and he is just depressed. He didn’t even ask if I want to listen to him. I finished my margarita, “and called the bar tender. “hit me with a hard one” I said and he looked shocked before he nodded. “how are you still sober, you drank more than I have?” Blondie looked shocked. “I just have high alcohol tolerance” I shrugged, but truth is, werewolves need to drink a ton of alcohol to get drunk, and I’m not there yet. “so what are you doing here? Its not good for a pretty girl to look this sad” he stared at me and I was shocked, I thought I hid my emotions pretty well. “I’m a philosophy student, I can tell this things” he chuckled and I just rolled my eyes before taking the tequila before me. “it’s ok if you don’t want to talk, gives me more time to talk about me” he smirked. “but let’s dance, it’s not good to bump yourself out, I looked at Teresa and Peter who were making out and just felt worse, so I agreed and we danced the night away.
We danced and I drank more than needed, but not enough to get drunk, I still needed to be the one to drive after all. After what seemed like forever, Teresa came to us looking anxious. “Em, its 1130, we need to leave” and that snapped me out of the conversation I was having with Blondie, he’s a good guy, funny, and surprisingly has not tried anything with me. “so it’s time to leave, where is Jacob?” I panicked and she laughed. “you’ll see, now let’s go” she said pulling me, but Blondie caught my other hand. “here, my number, be sure to call me” he gave me a card then stared at me as we left. We went outside and peter had already brought the car, he tossed me the key before he pulled Teresa into the back seat. “so where’s Jacob” I asked a really nervous David. “passenger seat” he said nervously. “ok, then why do you look so nervous?” I glared at him. “well, he passed out, he was not ready…., and he might reject me” he cast his eyes down and my mouth just hang open. “you did not…” I asked in disbelief, and he just turned his head. “I thought you were saying that to torture me” I wanted to yell but I couldn’t when I saw his sad face. “I’ll talk to him, now it’s time to go back, see you in seven days” I gave him a smile before I got into the car and looked at my unconscious friend. “it will be ok, don’t worry. It’s good you did not mark him” I said and he finally looked up. “I’ll learn to control myself, just take care of him” I nodded before I took off.
We were outside the territory but we had to wake Jacob first, he needs to take care of David, who has been following us all this time. We tried to shake him call him, but he was out, and T being the evil one, took a bottle of water and just drenched him before yelling in his ear, a cruel method but an effective one. He got up and we pointed towards his distressed mate. He sighed before he made his way to him and hugging him. We just watched as they talked and went all lovey-dovey on us. Before he came back blushing. “I see he gave it to you good, you even passed out” Teresa laughed and Jacob glared at her. We all went back in the car laughing, but before I could start the car, it hit me, the worst pain, along with a ton of heat, it felt as though I was in a desert, but I knew what it meant, I was in heat. “not today, not now” I yelled as I tried to control my body as my body shook. “worst time Em” Teresa said as Peter hugged her close and buried his nose in her neck, trying to control his reaction to my arousal. Jacob took me in his arms and I just clung to him. “I need to drive, you need to sit down” but I just clung on tighter, I wanted to end the pain, but I can’t shut sit there and shake. “get in and drive, I need my mates” he got in with me still holding on to him and just sped to the pack house. The moment it stopped, Peter pulled T out without wasting time and I just clung to Jacob, who carried me inside.
When we got in we met my mates, eyes black. I know they could feel my heat and smell my arousal. I wanted nothing but to be in their arms at this moment. I forgot all about the pain I felt earlier, but I never would have anticipated what happened next. They made their way towards me and I could feel my body react, I let go of Jacob, and he put me down and supported me. Williams touched my cheek and I felt fireworks explode, and the smile on his face made me lean in more for his touch, but he removed his hand, “you want me don’t you” he smiled and I nodded without shame. “too bad you are late, its past midnight, so as punishment, why not bare your heat alone, or Jacob here can help you, judging by how you were clinging on him” he smiled at Jacob and my body shook and the pain got worse, I could barely hold my body up, the pain of rejection felt terrible, I mean, being unreactive to my heat is practically rejecting me, he turned and left. “I’m sorry, I want to help you but I can’t” Wilson had his hands in fists and looked at the verge of tears. “why can’t you, do you hate me so much to let me suffer through this” my voice came out weak. “not without him, and I'm sorry about this morning, it's not what you think ” with that he also left. And just like that, I spend three days of my heat in pain, worst they kept the injection, making me feel worse. If you saw my arm, you would swear I’m on drugs. I spend those days with Jacob tending to me, making excuses for them. All about how their past is affecting them, total bull, the three days passed in a blur, and when my heat was gone, I went to their office, I was a woman on a mission, a mission to find out about the past that has nothing to do with me but causing me so much pain
