“Daniel.” I said and ran a hand through my hair. “What are you doing here?” I asked nervously as he continued to stare at me intensely. Then like a switch, a warm smile crept into his cheeks.“Father told me you were up. And I missed breakfast this morning because I had to go for a business inspection, so I came to check up on you. How do you feel this morning?” He asked as he walked up to me.I breathed out a short sigh of relief, because it meant he didn’t overhear my conversation with my Dad. “Is everything okay, Emma? You look a little bit distracted.” He asked again and I shook my head.“Oh no, it's nothing. I guess, I am still quite traumatized by my experience with your mistress.” I said. “Stop calling her my mistress, Emma. Come on, Emily and I aren't in any relationship and you know that.” He scolded gently. My plan to completely get rid of the idea of Emily was working. “You were planning to divorce me and go back to her. Weren’t you?” I asked and he sighed.“I apologiz
“Just because you are insecure and you lose your confidence around me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the extent of faking an attack, just to get me into Jail.” I retorted calmly, smiling to myself when she visibly flinched.“What are you talking about? I have no idea what you are saying.” Emma stuttered, bringing me to chuckle.I squinted my eyes and stared at her. “Of course, you never have an idea of what I am talking about. Wonder why Alpha Leonard had to marry Daniel off to a dumb twit like you. Tsk Tsk”She glared at me. “Bridle that tongue of yours or else-.” “Or else what, Emma? You will set me up for another heinous crime?” I blurted out in anger and she scoffed.“Do you have proof that you weren't the one behind my attack? Everything points to the fact that it is you.” She asked. “You and I know that I didn’t do it. You could just easily clear my name, while we look for the real culprit. Or maybe this is just a staged thing, just so you can get me in trouble with the
“Emma was carrying another man’s child, Alpha Leonard.” I repeated boldly and his eyes darkened. He walked towards me and pinned me to the wall, his hand growing tight around my neck.“What did you just say?” He asked and pinned me to the wall.“Let go of me, you are hurting me, Alpha Leonard.” I protested weakly as I struggled against his grip.“Dad, what the fuck are you doing? Let her go!” I heard Dylan say and his father released his grip on me at once. Dylan rushed to me. “Are you alright?” He asked and glared at his father.“I will warn you, stay away from both my sons, and Emma. I know for sure that all you want is revenge, and I will not allow you to get it. Do you get me?” Alpha Leonard hissed and walked away.I smiled mischievously and sat on the chair rubbing my neck.“Are you sure you are okay? What was that all about?” Dylan asked, looking concerned. I shook my head, liking the fact that the seed of doubt had been planted in Alpha Leonard’s mind. It was what I wanted,
“Are you alright, Alpha?” My beta, Jamie asked and I sighed for the hundredth time this afternoon. I shook my head and looked at him.“I am worried, about Emily. I am worried about her being in that prison, and what she might do to herself while she is in there. Knowing fully well that she is innocent of the charges levelled against her, and she wouldn’t have even come back here to face all of these, if the kids had not disappeared.” I sighed again. I couldn't control it even if I tried. “Emily must be feeling down and upset, of course. But we are doing our best to find the truth.” He said and looked around before lowering his voice. “I do think that your wife, Emma, has something she is hiding. And that she might be doing this to persecute Emily, just because she feels insecure about Emily’s return.” He finished.“Dylan feels the same way. Because why did she choose that specific day, the day I had chosen to let everyone know that she and I would be getting a divorce, to announce he
I stared back at Dad, knowing fully well what he wanted to speak to me about. I folded my hands and leaned on the table.“Yes, Dad?” I smirked at him. “What do you want to talk to him about, Dad? You can't just barge into my office like that.” Daniel said, anger imminent in his voice.Father looked at Daniel, then looked back at me. “When were you both going to tell me that Emily is Dylan’s Mate?” He asked and I raised my eyebrows.“Since when were you concerned about my affairs, Dad?” I asked and he glared at me.“How could you? How could you covet the woman belonging to your brother?!” He yelled. I slammed my hands on the table.“He rejected her. You made him reject her, Dad. Besides, their bond isn't broken, and all three of us are wondering how to navigate this. We do not need extra problems from you, Dad.” I fumed angrily.Daniel remained silent, while Father was shocked.“I did that for the good of you. I could see that she was not good for Daniel, and even till now she is sti
“What do you mean Emma was not pregnant, Dylan? She showed me the results and it said it was positive.” I asked and stared at him intently, with narrowed eyes. It's just not possible that Emma would go through such lengths to deceive me. “There are two possibilities, Daniel. One, Emma was indeed pregnant for a lover outside the palace. And is that possible? No. Her Father knows her every step. He would kill her before she brought shame and dishonor to him.” Dylan replied. I folded my hands. “Go on.” and waved at him to continue. “Well, The second plausible option is to prove that she was not pregnant. Which I already found a proof of.” He continued and gave me an envelope he removed from his pocket. “What’s this?” I asked as I took it from him. “I found it suspicious that Emma didn’t go to her regular Gynaecologist, hired by the pack for her tests. Instead, she went to some other hospital. When I checked, that hospital is her family's hospital. The Gynaecologist there treated
Father threw the celadon vase on his table at me. I screamed and dodged it. “How could you not tell me?!” He yelled angrily and I fell on the floor in fear.“Father, what are you talking about?” I asked, he threw the pictures of Anabelle on the floor at me and I gasped in fear.“How could you not let me know that Anabelle was still alive?!” He screamed and I shook, his fury was one I never liked to face.“How did you find out, Father? How did ... .How did you know about her?” I stuttered and shriveled when he glared at me.“How did I find out?! How did I find out?! Is that important to you right now? How were you going to explain this to Alpha Leonard once he gets to know of this. That you had a child at age 17? How?!” He yelled.“After everything I have done to attain power up to this moment, you intend to use motherly love to ruin me? Is that it?” He kept yelling. I stood up and wiped my tears.“You forced me to marry Daniel, Father. You killed Richard right in front of me, just
“You need to go home now, Daniel. You have a dinner date appointment, you know.” I said as I looked at my watch.Daniel sighed and glared at me.“I’m doing all this because we need to catch her in the act. We need to find evidence, something we can present to the court, to the judge. And I strongly believe such evidence is in her room.” He grumbled. “Perfect. Let’s go home. You need to go get ready for your date.” I chuckled, making a gesture of arranging my imaginary bowtie, to which he responded by giving me the finger. We entered the car and drove back to the palace.“Daniel! Oh my, where have you been? I was looking all over for you.” Emma exclaimed, looking at me. She was rushing towards us from the side of the house. “Oh for Pete's sake, Emma. Stop confusing yourself. I am Dylan, he is Daniel. You have been married to him for four years, what the fuck?” It was getting annoying how she always mixed us up.She scratched her neck as color flooded her cheeks in embarrassment. I n
