Chapter 4

Ember'S P.O.V.

Pissed will be an understatement of how I felt, who the hell does he think he is?

I crashed upon the soft couch in the living room as my day was mentally exhausting and all I wanted to do was eat and sleep but the thought of that man barging into this living room scared me to death.

I needed to be somewhere safe, completely out of his hold, and staying in this living room on a damn couch was not it, hell! Staying in this country itself was not it for me. I needed to leave as fast as possible for my and my baby's safety.

Without thinking I went to the kitchen to make a quick meal, I might have been nervous but I was not ready to lose all my shit because I refused to feed my baby or myself.

As soon as I was done I packed the few important things I needed for the next few months, till I was sure I was safe but then the rest of the things I didn't mind buying them. I booked a flight to New York immediately I was lucky because booking a last-minute flight was close to impossible here 

"Ariana, I'm going to leave for a few months. If anyone comes here let me know immediately via a text. Do not call or give anyone my number, understand?" I spoke to the maid of the house and she gave me a worrisome look "... I'm fine, I just need to clear some stuff that concerns business." 

"Ok, ma'am." I left after hugging her and immediately went towards the car.

My child was the only reason I could live the life I always wanted. I could be both a mother and father figure to her but this child will always be mine, only mine, and I refuse to share that with anyone no matter what.

I took a turn leading to the airport and silence greeted me as expected. I didn't know why the airport was at the coast of town but it was and driving there was one hell of a journey from my... 

My entire brain came to a stop as I saw three men suddenly crossing the road making me stop the car immediately before I hit them, fear flashed within me but they stood in shock looking at me.

"Have you lost your damn mind! You can't..." My voice trailed off when my door was opened by another person which made me confused "... Who the hell are you?"

"Get her out of the car. Follow us and I will not get you or your baby killed." I heard a familiar voice and Georgia came into view.

"What's this about?"

"Stay silent, Ember I do not want to hurt you or..." She looked down at my stomach and I wrapped my arms around it.

My brain couldn't comprehend what was going on but I didn't want anything happening to my baby no matter what so I stayed silent as we hopped into another car to a destination I knew nothing about.

******

Hours passed by and it was almost sunset when I woke up from sleep due to us pulling up but my jaws dropped when I saw a huge palace right in front of me and I faced reality when I was pushed slightly to move.

We walked in and my face immediately fell as my eyes caught a glimpse of dark hazel eyes standing in the corridor above. This can't be possible.

"Georgia" My voice came rather as a crack. It was hard to believe she would give me off like this.

"I'm sorry."

"Ember, I now believe our introduction was necessary because you are my second half " My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I looked at him but at the same time I realized he wasn't the only one looking at me, everyone in the household was.

"I am not your second..."

"Take her to my room." He cut me off after giving me one last look in the eyes and I would have sworn I was close to punching him on his perfect damn face.

"I am not your second...."

"Stop talking, Ember," Georgia warned again and my remaining words muffled into my throat as I remembered her threat.

I followed them quietly while trying to hide away the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. Was it meant to be this hard to get pregnant without a man? 

I was thrown into the room and the door jammed before I got the chance to say a word. Tears rolled down my eyes as sadness lurked within my heart, I couldn't be giving up at this point when I was so close to getting what I wanted.

The door flew open and I felt that aura again. The same one from Georgia's office, the same one that made tingles travel through my veins, the same one that made me think my heart could blow into pieces by his mere presence, and raising my head to look at him proved me right 

How can a man be this damn gorgeous? 

"I didn't want to do this, I give orders not the other way round Ember. I'm the most powerful Alpha, a C.E.O. of thousands of companies in Romania, I'm branded the richest man in Romania not that I care, there's nowhere that you will run to that I won't find you, mi amor." 

His words struck me like a thousand blades but at the same time, I understood where his ego, pride, and will to do anything came from.

"I don't care about the titles you..."I trailed off as I heard a crack from him, followed by another causing fear to linger in me and right before my eyes he transformed from a human to a terrifying-looking wolf that could tear me in half then he transformed back revealing his nakedness but he didn't care.

"It's all going to be yours mi amor. You aren't leaving this house with my baby. I do have a deal for you..." He bent down to my level "... Stay here and be the one who gives birth to my children or give birth and leave the pack without the child, the choice is all yours mi amor." His voice sent shivers down my spine.

The deal is to be a surrogate to him or once again a childless mother. Both our lives were in danger and he could kill me when he possessed the chance he got. I couldn't bear staying away from my child but the thought of why he calls me 'Mi Amor' disturbed the peace I had left inside.

And his second half? What the hell does he mean?
