over. Emma lay on her side and turned her belly to Remy. Panting, she said. I submit. I submit. Her single eye looked up at Remy but the hate was gone. My Alpha.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Aaron Van Houten had just finished delivering the news to the Clearwaters when he heard one of his hunters call for him. Mrs. Clearwater had collapsed to the ground—sobbing and cursing her husband—when Aaron broke the news to them. While he didn’t want to go, Aaron knew that his place wasn’t here. Not now.
“What is it?” He rushed outside into the snow.
The hunter said nothing and pointed in the distance. Aaron followed his finger and his heart leaped into his throat.
Remy was standing in the snow wearing the pelt of a large elk. Another woman was behind her. Without second thought, Aaron rushed towards her. When he got closer, he saw that her arms and legs were covered in deep scratches and cuts running with fresh red blood.

Remy didn’t expect the first person to greet her return to be Aaron Van Houten. She didn’t expect him to suddenly take her into his arms. She certainly didn’t expect him to kiss her with such ferocity that it felt like he was trying to eat her face.
But unlike Blake, Aaron’s kiss didn’t set Remy’s body aflame with desire, didn’t draw shivering sighs from deep within, and didn’t make her sex quiver from the emptiness. She pushed back and disentangled herself from him.
“Remy. You’re safe.” There were tears in Aaron’s eyes and his face split into a wide smile of relief as he took her by the shoulder. “Oh my goodness, we were so worried about you. You must be freezing! We thought you’d been…” He finally saw Emma, saw the same scars on the she-wolf, and stopped himself.
“Who is she?” He asked. “Did she do this to you?”
Behind him, a pair of hunters rushed up, carrying high powered rifles. There was disdain in Emma’s eye as she looked at the hunters coming up towards her.
Remy looked back at Aaron. “I need to see my parents.”
“Of course, of course.” He nodded. “But answer me first, Remy.” He pointed at Emma. “Did she do this to you?”
“I did.” Emma replied before Remy could.
Aaron’s face darkened and before Remy could stop him, he barked an order to the hunters. “Kill her!”
“No!” Remy screamed. One of the hunters raised his rifle. She lunged at him and pushed it out of the way just as the rifle went off. The explosion was deafening and Remy felt her palm being burnt by the heat of the barrel. She looked back. Luckily, the hunter had missed.
“Don’t kill her! Stop it!” Remy shrieked. Aaron grabbed her and hugged her close to him as she beat her fists against him.
The other hunter raised his rifle but Emma was faster. The she-wolf shifted and went straight for the throat. The man fell down and barely had time to scream before a spurt of red fountained from his neck.
The first man cycled the bolt and raised the rifle.
“Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!” Remy struggled against Aaron’s strong grasp and wrenched free. Throwing her arms around Emma, she stared up at the barrel pointed at her.
Are you okay, Emma? She asked.
Fucking collared wolves… Emma growled and shifted back to her human form.
Aaron pried Remy off Emma and then bent down to tilt Emma’s chin up until she looked straight at him. “You’re one of Christensen’s wolves, aren’t you?”
“Leave her alone!” Remy tried to intervene but Aaron kept her at arm’s length. “Leave her alone, Aaron!” She felt so helpless. It had been her idea to come to the village as humans and now Emma was paying the price for it. As a wolf, I was strong. Now I’m just a stupid girl again…
Aaron looked at Remy and then back at Emma. “You hear that? My mate wants you alive. So that’s what I’ll do. You should thank her for showing you mercy.”
Emma said nothing. Aaron
