circles under his eyes his skin pale and sickly. He also appeared to have lost some weight.

He stared at me as if he’d seen a ghost.

“E–Emma?” He choked out stepping forward. I stood frozen my body refusing to move. God I had missed him so much over the years. I’d prayed for him to come back…for him to find me. Then I’d given up hope and deemed him dead as our parents.

He left me. Left me to deal with the grief of our parents alone. I’d gone into a deep depression because of him. I’d been so hopeless so ready to leave a world where I felt all alone.

But then I snapped out of it. I’d moved and met Andy…met Adrain. I had a family again people to love. People who cared if I made it home or not. People who cared if I had eaten in days.

Luke had done none of that. Luke had just left.

He was standing in front of me now. Close enough to touch. I could feel the entire’s pack eyes on my back but ignored them.

“Emma,” he breathed reaching up to touch my face.

I punched him.

Right in the jaw making his head jerk to the side with a snap. He held it there for a second before slowly turning it back to me his eyes dark.

I clenched my fist anger still burning inside me.

“I hate you,” I whispered.

He nodded slowly “I know.”

Then I was in his arms.

I wrapped my arms tight around his neck and held onto him tightly burying my face in his chest. His arms were wrapped around me so tightly it was if he wanted to hold me there forever. But that could have just been my wishful thinking.

I felt those stupid weak tears fall down my face and pressed my face against his chest harder.

I don’t know how long it was before we pulled apart, but when we did he grasped my face and

brushed the wet tears off my face. He leaned down and kissed my forehead making my lips tingle in

longing.

“I hate you,” I told him again.

He nodded sadly as if he’d already accepted this fact I knew it was a lie though. I didn’t hate him I never would be able to. I loved him to damn much.

“I—I should go,” I whispered stepping back.

Panic surged through his features and he quickly shook his head. “So no please Emma just for little while longer……please.”

The agony in his voice crushed my bruised heart. How could I refuse?

He grabbed my hand sending butterflies to my stomach. No one was at the door when we walked us the stairs in fact no one was in the house, I could hear all of them gathered in the back and I had a feeling the Alpha had ordered them back there.

I jumped startled when Cameron was suddenly in front of us.

“Emma, are you alright?” He asked touching my cheek.

Luke growled and slapped Cameron’s hand away harshly.

“Don’t touch her!” He snapped moving in front of me so Cameron couldn’t see me. I frowned and pushed Luke to the side slightly.

“I’m fine…I’m sorry about earlier it’s just…” My eyes flickered to Luke and Cameron nodded.

“I understand Emma don’t worry about it,” he smiled at me before giving Luke a hard look.

“I don’t care who you are, you hurt her Luke and I’ll make sure you’ll be begging for forgiveness,” Cameron said coldly.

Luke mumbled something that sounded like “too late” but I wasn’t sure.

With a quick kiss to my cheek Cameron was gone leaving me and Luke alone. Luke’s body was tense his eyes straying from mine.

Slowly he lead me up the stairs and into a bedroom I suspected was his. He sat down on the bed and curled me against his chest his fingers playing in my hair.

God it felt so good. To good.

I could imagine his fingers tangled in my hair as we kissed his lips molding to mine. His voice

quickly brought me out of my thoughts.

“I’ve missed you so much Emma,” he whispered kissing my head,

Bitterness swelling in me and I snapped at him “Not my fault we haven’t spoken in years!”

He flinched but nodded, “I know……..I know Emma this is all my fault and you have every right to

hate me.”

Ugh! He wasn’t suppose to make me feel guilty!
