    At this point, the Death Stalkers will do anything to keep Jared from fulfilling his quest and conquering the wolf in himself or in Emily, and if that means a change from threatening their lives to threatening their teen romance, why not? After all, Jared has an old ex girlfriend and she’s still a death stalker. Why not see if they can trick Jared into a compromising position?

Can Emily possibly see past the deception, or will the hurt of Jared’s betrayal keep her from seeing anything?EMILY’S TORMENT is the sixth chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in the collection of stories JARED’S QUEST.

She would scour the area looking for him. She would begin at the Arc de Triomphe and work her way down through the popular shopping streets, alongside the river seine and down to the beautiful gardens, finishing at the famous Louvre museum.Within forty minutes Emily was ready to go, as she approached the door she discovered a note that had been left. She picked up the expensive looking envelope and opened it.“Jared is at the Villas Champs Elysee if you wish to see him. Give your name to the doorman and go straight to the Loft Villa. He will be waiting.”Emily knew that this was a trap, but she had no choice. She was desperate to be with Jared, even if it meant she would be risking her life. She had a look at the attached map and determined she could walk there in a little under ten minutes. She set off and got there quickly. The doorman instantly knew who she was and pointed to the lift. She got into the lift and pressed the button to take her to the Loft Villa As she knocked on the door it slowly opened.“Hello, anyone there?” she shouted.No reply. She moved further into the villa. She walked through the vast contemporary lounge. It was spacious and dominated by light. She moved into the hallway and could see the bedroom at the end of it. She cautiously crept towards the bedroom and could hear giggling. As she entered, what she saw made her feel physically sick.“Oh Jared I love you so much,” said Ruby.

Ruby, what do you really want?” she asked. Emily liked her new look, but a compliment from this girl seemed strange. She stared at Ruby; she really was exotically stunning, although her amber eyes seemed to be soaked with sadness. She had three rings through her left nostril and two rings in her lower lip. Surprisingly, they added to her beauty. “I want you to stay away from Jared,” she said. “We were supposed to be married you know.”“I can’t do that Ruby,” said Emily. “I love him.”“Well that makes two of us then,” said Ruby. For the first time, her voice was just as sad as it was haunting and Emily stopped walking and turned to look closely at the other girl. The two of them stood staring at each other. “You won’t win, Emily. Take this as a friendly warning,” said Ruby. “Take the train back to London and forget about Jared. He belongs to our pack and we want him to return to us.” Ruby turned and walked away, she did not look back; but Emily had heard something in her voice. It was lack of conviction, even desperation, and if gave Emily hope beyond any she had experienced since the day she’d walked in on the two of them. She let her fear flow from her body. She shook from head to toe and hurried away from the river. She was still feeling better when she got back to the hotel room and found Jared’s note making it clear in no uncertain terms that they would never be together.

The three of them stood in silence. Finally, Jared said, “I hope everything works out for you two.” God, it sounded lame, but Jared turned away, his cheeks hot with embarrassment and hoped they were too wrapped up in their situation to pay any more attention to him. The heat in his cheeks grew stronger and Jared paused. Perhaps he’d never been this embarrassed. God, he had to be blushing beet red. He took in a deep breath. His cheeks were on fire, like he had some kind of fever. It didn’t make sense. Sure, he felt a little ashamed, but why was his body reacting this way. His stomach felt strange, and why was the sidewalk undulating like some kind of snake? Why had things suddenly become blurry? Why were things spinning? Why was Heran running toward him? Why was there blackness in the edges of his vision?“Jared! Jared!” That was funny. Heran looked like he was shouting, but the words sounded soft, like he was shouting from two streets away. Ah! The couple was back. They both looked at him strangely, like something was wrong. What were they so worried about. They looked silly. So did Heanarad. Herralann. What was his name again? Heran. Jerad thought Heran looked silly, too. He was shimmering. How was he doing that? Now, he was reaching for Jared with arms that looked like octopus tentacles. No. No. He was disappearing. Why was he disappearing. Wait. Everything was disappearing. Everything was becoming black. Dark. Quiet. Dark…and…

He tried to make himself sound angry and strong, but he wasn’t sure how successful he was being. “I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour from you, Ruby, or from anyone else. I want you all to stay the hell out of my life.”He was now feeling quite weak. The adrenalin had fused through him earlier, enabling him to fight. Now, he was still feeling the after effects of the drugs Ruby had slipped him. His headache was banging around in his head like a marching band playing at full volume right into his ear. Ruby came out of the bedroom, and she threw him some jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt. “I’m sorry about earlier,” she said. “I miss you Jared. We used to have so much fun and I know you loved me.” He couldn’t tell if she was being sincere or not. He hated that he couldn’t tell.“After what happened, Ruby I—” He stopped talking abruptly.

There were no people around, but there were small houses. The houses had alleyways and street lamps and even porches or small yards. Suddenly a wolf appeared from within one of the alleyways; he roared loudly and began to approach.“Must be the mystic guard!” shouted Emily.“I don’t think so,” said Jared.Jared changed form and dropped down to the ground as he shifted. He lunged for the wolf and they began to fight. From another alleyway a smaller wolf appeared and then another. Emily stood glued to the spot, she was afraid. The wolves were attacking Jared and it all became a big blur. Emily still did not move, she was transfixed. One of the wolves turned and leapt straight at her, she could feel her blood boiling inside and she shifted. Her mind was overtaken by thoughts of murder, and she realized that she now wanted to kill these wolves that were trying to kill Jared. The moment she shifted, though, the two of them were alone again, as the wolves suddenly disappeared.They knew now that they would stay in wolf form, just to be on the safe side. They walked the streets of the Undercroft and came to a large opening held up by marble pillars. Inside was a throne and behind the throne, a glass case with an exhibit inside. The exhibit looked very much like their goal, the serum. They both took human form and moved in towards the throne, grabbing wall hangings to cover their nakedness as well as they could.

If we get split up, do not under any circumstances take the lift and get out of this building as soon as possible.“Jared, what’s going on?” she said.“The building is on fire. We have to get out as soon as possible,” he said.He grabbed her hand and they moved towards the crowd together. People were full of panic. They were shouting and trying to pile into the lifts.

He started to move towards them.“Where are you going?” shouted Emily.“I have to stop those people from entering the lifts,” he replied. “Keep going Emily!”“Jared! Jared!” she shouted.Too late; he had been sucked into the chaos.
