eyes.
“No, the idea of Alpha Female never really scared me although it is a lot of responsibility,” Emily explained softly. “It was the idea that as a human I would put Jay and the pack at risk for although I can fight, darn well if I say so, and of my abilities , I will still be going up against werewolves. As a human, my chances we re slim for helping Jay, but after what you told me, my chances are looking up.”
Cass had to know so she asked, “And if Jay is not chosen as Alpha?”
Emily laughed as she said, “That would suit me fine too. It seems to me like he would rather be farther down the role of command not because he cannot do it, but because he feels more comfortable being behind the scenes well getting what needs to be done ou t of the way.” She knew this for a fact because after the first night in his room, instead of letting Emily get what she needed or pack her own things, he had took her out to a resta urant and a movie. By the time they had return ed her things were packed and sitting in her room waiting for it to be taken to his , which they did themselves as she glared at him the whole time.
Cass smiled in relief as she watched Emily for she knew that she understood Jay as well as his family did.
“Thank you, ma’am,” Emily said as Cass stood up to go back inside the house. Cass stopped and leaned over in gave her a quick hug before responding, “No thank you Emily .”
That evening, Jay and Emily cuddled in his bed talking about minor things like their favorite colors and such as their minds wonder to what they knew they were going to do. Emily was going to let Jay mark her and hope that her love for him and her faith in herself would pull her through, and Jay made plans to ask for her permission to mark her on her birthday in three days for he did not want to wait much longer to proclaim her his for the world to see.
He laid next to her as she curled against him with her head on his chest, her hand settled on his abs, and her leg crossed over his. He had an arm curled around her waist and the other was stroking her cheek and tangling in her hair.
“I love you, Emily Ann Jackson,” he said giving her a light ki ss before closing his eyes not knowing that the next night everything would be different.
Chapter 12
Emily looked around and smiled for the party w as in full swing. Sasha and Emily came down about ten minutes ago, and they were looking for their mates.
“Do you see him?” Sasha murmured her red-hair curled and hanging down her back. She had put minimal make-up on both of the m and the violet-blue she used for herself made her eyes look bigger than they were. Emily chuckled as she looked around the room spotting Mark over in the corner with a big chest girl snuggling up to him.
“Over there, and he looks like he could use some help,” Emily said as she saw Mark’s eyes narrowed as he said something to the girl who only laughed and leaned closer.
Sasha growled as she headed over to them and Emily watched as Mark’s eyes grew wide, and his jaw dropped as he saw her. The woman looked at her for a moment and tried to say something to Mark, but Emily chuckled as she noticed he was not paying any attention to her. Mark pulled Sasha into his arms and kissed her so passionately that the woman walked away in a huff . Emily laughed lightly as she turned her gaze away to search for her own mate. Mate, she liked the thought of that, for Jay was everything she could ask for and more. She saw him standing near the doors that opened to the garden and she started forward to go to him but faltered as she saw Victoria walk up to him and put her hand on his arm. She smiled at him with a tilt of her head and Jay looked down at her before turning his gaze back to his friends. A slow smile graced Emily’s lips for in that moment, she knew that he was over Victoria , how she was not sure, but she did, and she resumed her walk towards him.
