Alexander’s POV
“Did you sleep well?” I whispered, seeing Emily lying silently in my arms. She had been awake for a while now, yet she didn’t put an effort into moving.
“I did,” she said, lifting her gaze to look back at me. Her blue eyes were darker than usual, and she looked happy and relaxed.
“And you?” She asked, her voice warm like a summer breeze.
“Same,” I said huskily, kissing her on the forehead.
Last night was one of the most memorable nights of my life.
We had cleared out most of our differences, and it didn’t take much effort-just thirty minutes of pure listening and understanding.
Besides that, Emily managed to help Sasha.
“With your help,” Ghost yapped, stretching his body lazily.
When we left with Emily, I had let down the invisible wall that separated Ghost and me.
I decided to give Ghost the benefit of the doubt and let him go after Emily stroked my arm and calmed him down.
A small smile appeared as my thoughts quickly returned to what had happened last night.
I could feel Emily’s emotions and uncertainty over the bond. She was uncertain about what to do or whether she could help Sasha.
After Sasha had undressed, she carefully packed her belongings and gave them to friends. Just three of her friends stayed to witness her shift.
“Wish me luck,” Sasha said, leaving her friends’ side.
Emily approached Sasha and grasped her hands. She shut her eyes.
Luke bumped my shoulder, and I turned my attention to him.
“Emily looks worried,” he linked.
I nodded.
“Do you believe she could pull this off?” He asked.
I shrugged. I was not sure.
I looked up, noticing that Emily and Sasha were standing under the full moon. It had reached its highest point.
“Nothing is happening.” One of Sasha’s friends muttered, disappointed. She seemed bored, as she was looking around all the time.
“Go,” I gave the command. “Go join the festivities. Sasha will join you when she is done.”
With a nod, all the girls took off running.
Emily stilled the moment the girls left, as the moon’s rays fell upon her.
The light reached Sasha, enveloping the two girls in a circle of light.
Luke gasped, and his jaw dropped, seeing Emily now surrounded by a red glow.
The sound of breaking bones erupted in the next moment, filling the quiet night around us.
Sasha let out a horrifying cry, and her legs buckled beneath her.
Emily didn’t move away from her. She continued to hold her hands.
Sasha let out a cry. The pain she was in must have been excruciating.
“Do you think it’s working?” Luke linked.
“Well, it appears that way,” I answered.
Emily jerked back her head, opened her eyes, and gave a howl toward the moon. The sound was completely unlike anything we ever heard.
“What is she doing?” Luke linked.
“She is asking for access to the spirit realm,” Ghost replied.
“Why?” a concerned Luke inquired.
“For Sasha’s wolf to cross over,” I answered.
Emily released Sasha’s hands and stepped back with a sway.
“Why is she stepping away?” I asked, concerned.
“She has exhausted her abilities,” Ghost said. “And she is no longer able to keep the gates open.”
“Did Sasha’s wolf cross?” I asked.
“No,” Ghost replied.
Emily turned to face me, and her legs buckled beneath her.
In an eye-wink, I was at her side, catching her as she fell to the ground, and wrapping my arms around her.
“Are you okay?” I asked frantically.
“I’m fine,” she said. “But Sasha…”
“Tell me how I can help you!” I cried out in despair.
“I cannot keep the portal open long enough for her wolf to cross,” she uttered. “There is nothing you can do. I am not strong enough. I am a failure.”
“You are not a failure!” I tried to calm her.
“Let her channel you,” Ghost suggested. “Let her use your magic and strength. It might keep the gates open long enough!”
“Use my magic,” I said. “We can do it together.”
Emily gave me a bewildered look. She didn’t expect me to try and help.
“Are you certain?” she stammered.
“I am,” I told her.
Emily put her hand on my cheek, and I felt her warm magic connect with mine.
My vision flickered with visions of the spirit realm, and in the following flash, a brown and white wolf emerged from the gates.
That can’t be right. Can it?
Sasha let out another horrifying scream, and she began to twist and turn on the ground, her bones slowly realigning.
Emily severed her connection to the spirit world and turned her focus to Sasha.
She attempted to stand, but she was unable to do so.
I lifted her into my arms and carried her to Sasha.
Sasha was covered in white and brown fur. She slowly got to her feet and raised her hands to look.
She abruptly turned to face Emily.
“What the f*ck have you done to me?!” she let out a cry.
“You have been blessed with a Lycan wolf,” Emily said. “The goddess is very fond of you!”
I let out a satisfied sigh, and the previous night’s events faded from my vision, causing Emily to raise her head and turn to face me.
“What?” she questioned.
“Nothing,” I said, attempting to maintain my composure.
“That sounded like more than nothing to me,” she countered. “Furthermore, did we not make a commitment to honesty between us?”
I laughed, realizing that I had been exposed.
“Yes, we did,” I said.
“Then why are you avoiding the subject, Mister Big Bad Alpha?” she asked, playfully tapping my nose,
“Because I do not know how to tell you,” I said, pinning her gaze.
With furrowed brows, Emily threw herself onto her arms and peered down at me.
“What can you not tell me?” She asked, losing all playfulness in her tone.
“To what extent do I love you?” I said, bringing her closer by grabbing her by the waist. I turned us over, and she was beneath me, causing her to yell out in surprise.
I pinned her hands above hers and gently brushed the stray hair from her face.
“What are you doing?” She asked, her breathing quickening and my erection intensifying.
I kissed the side of my jaw and said, “I am about to show you how much.”
Emily’s nipples hardened, and her breathing became labored as they brushed against my chest.
I was pressing my hardened cock against her dripping entrance. With just a slight prod, I could easily slide inside her.
I grew impatient as that thought, combined with Emily’s euphoric scent, further hardened me.
I moved my single hand down Emily’s side. She groans at the sensation of me leaving tiny sparks of electricity everywhere I go.
“Oh, Alpha,” she groaned, lustfully. “You are driving me…”
I kissed Emily deeply and passionately, smothering her last words. Each of us battles for supremacy.
I withdrew, letting go of her hands, and planted a wet kiss on her jaw before moving on to her nape and down to her sweet spot.
My nostrils filled with her arousal, igniting the beast inside of me.
Between her legs was a sweet honey that I wanted to taste.
When my tongue slid between Emily’s folds, she moaned, and I moaned too, grateful that I had tasted her.
Her flavor was addictive, leaving me wanting more.
“Fuck me already,” Emily moaned.
“With pleasure,” I whispered against her folds.
Making sure I found her bud, I gave her one last lick and inserted three fingers inside her.
“F*ck, Alex!” She moaned as I pumped my fingers inside her.
“When you get close, let me know,” I said.
Emily reached her climax rather quickly. I was very much making sure that her nectar leaked out of her pussy.
“Alex,” she groaned, and she gasped when I pinched her nipple.
“I’m close,” she warned.
Without hesitation, I pulled out my fingers and replaced them with my cock, pumping into her as if there were no tomorrow.
Emily began to moan more and more, and she took hold of my shoulders and sank her nails into them.
“That’s going to leave a mark,” Ghost purred.
Emily was on edge, on the verge of an orgasm. I could feel her walls tightening around my cock.
“Open your eyes and look at me, baby,” I commanded, quickening my pace.
When she reached her climax, I wanted to see it in her eyes.
Emily dragged her eyes open, looking intently into my eyes.
“Alex, I-I-I-oh,” she groaned, finding her release. Her walls tightened, and I could feel her orgasm pumping around my cock.
I did not give her a chance to rest; deep down, I wanted my own release.
I turned her sideways, slid up beside her, crossed one of her legs over mine, and searched around for an entrance.
Emily reclined her head on my chest. She released tiny groans through her parted lips as I pounded into her.
“Deeper, Alex, deeper,” she moaned. “I want you to come for me. I want to feel all of you inside me.”
Her wish was my command, and I pounded harder and harder and deeper and deeper into her.
My breathing raced, and my body became soaked, yet the smell of Emily’s arousal mixed with her intoxicated scent motivated me to do as she pleased.
I shifted Emily onto my chest, gripping her breast and hammering my cock inside of her as hard as I could. I found my release after two more beatings and released my seeds into her tiny pussy.
I let go of Emily, and she slid off of me before turning to face me again.
“Did I succeed?” I asked, gasping for air. My heart continued to pound in my chest.
Emily’s eyebrows furrowed in a bewildered manner.
“Succeed?” she asked. “Succeed in what?”
I chuckled at her expression.
“Conveying my love for you?” I replied.
Emily’s cheeks turned scarlet, and she smiled shyly.
“You certainly did,” she replied.
There was a knock on the front door, breaking our happy mood.
“Ignore it,” Emily said, laughing.
The knocking continued, growing louder and more insistent.
“I guess it is urgent.” I sighed and got up to rush to the door, ready to stomp on the person’s head.
To my dismay, however, the person waiting at the door was not the person I desired to see.
