I laid flat on my bed and kept my eyes shut for a while and when I opened them, it was morning already. It's been two days since Karen left and everything around the household had just changed or was I the only one who changed? I tried contacting every single detective around and even sent so many servants in search of Karen but all came to no avail. I just haven't been myself lately especially when Mom's around. I inhaled a deep breath and rose to my feet and within a few seconds, I found myself back in Karen's room as usual. I would always come here whenever I thought about her. “Karen please come back” I muttered out as I leaned my back to the wall and placed my hands on my forehead. Frustrated, I signed a little and sat on the floor. Everything feels empty without Karen here and I hadn't even had time to win Emily's heart back. “Alpha you have visitors”. Zane walked in and when his gaze met with mine, his eyes widened in shock instantly. “I'll be there in a few minutes”. I
In annoyance, I watched patiently as two of my servants dragged her out of my room. “ Is there any problem with Alpha”. I heard Zane's voice and I turned my back instantly. “No problem”. I uttered and Zane stepped out of the room. “Who the hell could have stolen this key”. I whispered. There was no way Jason would have stolen them without anyone knowing. The house was surrounded by the best security guards. I signed a bit before taking a few steps to where a picture frame was placed on the walls. I had always thought this day would come so I had backups. I raised the picture frame with my right hand and shook my other hand into a little hole in the wall. With hesitation, I pulled out a small rusty box from the hole in the wall and opened it gently. Luckily enough, I had hidden the rest of the keys here because I suspected Jason would come for the keys. I squeezed them tightly in my hands and left for Dad's old library. As soon as I reached the room, I headed straight to the pile
“I warned you about Tyler's man Karen, but you wouldn't listen”. Lisa said as she sat on a sofa next to Karen. “I never thought it would be this serious”. Karen responded softly as she kept her gaze on the floor. Her eyes were now wet as tears threatened to drop down from her latches. “No matter how much you try to hide from Tyler, there's no way he wouldn't find you.”. Lisa uttered. “Unless”, she continued. “You leave this place completely”. Karen kept her eyes shut for a while and when she opened them, tears had already started dropping down from her cheeks. There was no way she could leave without her mom. Firstly, she needed to apologize to Emily for everything she had done in the past. And secondly, Tyler's mom has to learn a lesson for treating her badly because of her past relationship with her dad. “Hey, are you okay?”. Lisa questioned softly as she pressed her body against Karen's body. “Whatever you decide, just let me know okay?”. She said and when Karen nodded her
“You called for me Dad”. Talia uttered as she sat on a sofa, next to her mom. Mr Raymond cleared his throat for a while before he began to speak. “Your mom and I had decided to get you engaged with Jackson. Your marriage will be held in a few weeks from now”.Talia arched her brows, surprised by her father's words. She stood to her feet instantly and drew closer to him. She remained speechless for a while and when she finally found her voice, she pleaded with her dad. “Dad, please I'm in love with someone else”. She replied, her words dripping with desperation.“Please give me some time to bring him here to meet you and mother. He's a good person, and will prove worthy of your approval, I promise.”Mr Raymond squeezed his hands tightly with hers and smiled at her warmly. “You know we love you too much Natalia, and we can't have you leaving us once more. Besides, it’s time you take your rightful position as the CEO of the company”. Talia, hearing these words, released her hands fro

Mia cuts the waiter off before he can complete his statement.She glanced at wrist watch for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Please Zane”. She whispered silently. Even after Zane suggested that they shouldn't see anymore, Mia found it very hard to stop calling or texting him. She wanted to hear more from him.Zane couldn't just end their friendship so quickly. She thought something made him do so, something he never wanted her to know about. After a few minutes, she picked up her phone and dialed Zane's number a second time but still, he never answered. Mai covered her face with her palms and lowered her head to the floor. It's been six hours now and Zane hasn't come to see her. In no time, she felt a tear drop down from her eyes. And she wiped them off instantly. Mia's gaze remained on the floor and she couldn't bear it anymore, everything Zane had put her through,

EMILY'S POV. I sat silently in Christian's car, I just couldn't help thinking why he kept staring at me every second. I turned my gaze to the window and glanced outside the main road for a moment. “What's wrong Emily, you don't feel comfortable?.” He questioned and I turned to him. “I'm fine”. I uttered and he held my hands with his other hand.” We're here already.”Christian halted and when I tried to climb out of the car, he walked towards the door and opened it wide for me. A smile crept on my face immediately as I stepped out and I tried to maintain my composure. Gosh, how I love this man so badly! After a few steps, we reached our main destination, a beautiful restaurant and bar that had fountains and statues within its surroundings. “This is beautiful,” I whispered and it made Christian smirk. I looked around for a while and when I noticed the place was empty, I turned my gaze back to Christian instantly, “I think this place is closed for today”. My words made Christian sm
EMILY'S POV.“She's alright now Christian,” I said softly and he heaved deeply. “Thank you so much love”. Christian responded and I smiled warmly.“It's nothing, Mia's just having a hard time and I think she needs some time alone”. I uttered and Christian nodded his head twice. “Yeah, yeah!, let's do that. We should let her be for a while.”And with that, we both turned to leave, but Blake didn't, he stayed behind and relaxed in a seat next to Mai. “Hey, Christian,” I called out, making him stop on his track and turn to me. “I'll be going to the mall tomorrow to get some stuff for Lilith”. “No problem”. He responded and as I turned to leave for my room, he grabbed my hands tightly. “Please stay with me tonight”?I heard his sweet and calm voice. “but I …”. Before I could complete my statement, he pulled me closer himself and hugged me so tight. “Please love.” His voice was tempting and I couldn't just resist it. “Alright,” I said, and he smiled at me, his smile made me feel butte
AUTHOR’S POV.“Please just stay still babe,” Tyler uttered as he got down from his car and headed straight for the back seat where Karen lay.He opened the car door quickly and wrapped Karen around his hands while he rushed as fast as his legs could carry him inside. “Somebody please help, my wife, is in labor,” Tyler yelled out. Dr. Grace and her team of nurses arrived with haste, quickly relieving Tyler of Karen's weight and transferring her to a wheeled stretcher. In no time, the procession quickly carried Karen away.“Just sit here sir, I assure you, she will be fine,” Grace mentioned before leaving for Karen's ward. Tyler felt his heart beat so fast and hard. As he sat on the visitors' seats, he could hear Karen's loud groan from the operating room. He sprang to his feet, his eyes burning with anxiety as he began to pace around the room. In a moment of desperation, he closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, silently asking the moon goddess for a positive outcome.“Ple
CHRISTIAN’S POV.“Let's talk outside,” I said to Blake as he glanced at me. “Stay here Lilith,” I whispered, placing her back on the visitor's seat. I walked outside immediately while Blake trailed behind me. The air practically crackled with my anger as I faced Blake, my hands clenching into fists at my sides itching to strike him.“Why, Blake?” I snarled. “Why would you break my sister’s heart?”. He kept his gaze trained on the floor, remaining silent.“Look at me!” I shouted, my voice laced with contempt. “Tell me why you did it! Do you have any idea what she's been through?”Finally, Blake looked up, his expression one of shame and regret. “I’m sorry, Christian,” he murmured, his voice barely audible.My blood boiled at the sight of his pathetic attempt at an apology.“Sorry?” I spat, my eyes blazing with rage. “You think that’s enough? Mia sacrificed herself to save you, even after everything you did to her, and all you can say is I’m sorry?”I could feel my hands trembling, a
TYLER'S POV.I sat next to Blake and Christian's cousin, Lilith. As I looked down at her, her little eyes were swollen already. “Hey, are you okay?” I questioned but she didn't even blink an eye to show that she was alright. “they’re going to be okay.” I declared. I inhaled a deep breath and shut my eyes deeply, calling the moment Emily was being stabbed. Christian had been furious and controlled by his anger. Maybe I wasn't the one Emily deserved it be with, after all, maybe Christian was her real mate. The way he sliced Talia's throat within the blink of an eye proved how much he loved and cared about Emily. Truly, Christian was the greatest and most powerful lycan that had ever existed. He fought with full strength and emotions and no one could ever defeat him. He would always win every single battle that came his way because he was born of Lycan blood.I opened my eyes wide as soon as I heard Christian’s voice. He walked out of a room that had a short description of “staff
CHRISTIAN’S POV I stood frozen unable to take my gaze off Emily as she dropped down to the floor. I could feel my heart beating so fast and I couldn't breathe well anymore.My crawls came running out of my fingers and I felt like I wasn't in control of myself anymore. I was still in human form but fur grew slowly on my face. “We can now be together Chris.” I heard Talia's voice. With annoyance, I sped off where she stood and grabbed her neck tightly. You're such a monster.” I barked. “It's time for you to leave this earth as well.” I declared as my grip on her neck worsened. “Please Christian, I did this for our love.” Talia cried out but it only worsened the pain even more.I wasn't in control anymore and the moment my eyes gleamed again, I slit her throat with my fingers and threw her lifeless body far away. Tears dropped down from my eyes as I averted my gaze back to where Emily lay on the floor.Lilith sat close to her, holding her hand tightly. I felt a drop of water on my
AUTHOR’S POV.Christian arrived at the imposing building and immediately stomped through the front door, in annoyance. His frustration grew when he was interrogated by a group of bodyguards who searched his body for weapons. Finding nothing, they finally ushered him into a large, cold room where he spotted Mia and Emily bound to chairs.With a swift motion, Christian freed them from their restraints, but before they could even thank him, a familiar figure entered the room.His blood ran cold instantly as I recognized the pale, arrogant features of Roland and some others. Roland stood before them, and his eyes narrowed in anticipation.“Ah, Christian,” he drawled, his voice dripping with false cordiality. “I’m so glad you could join us.”“Let us go,” Christian snapped, his anger barely contained. “You’ve no right to hold us captive like this..” “On the contrary,” Roland replied with a widening smile. “You decided not to yield to our warnings. Why don't you just join me and the othe
TYLER’S POV.I opened my eyes and sat straight up on the bed. I felt very different and somehow happy. I wasn't going to lay in bed throughout the day because Karen was here now. With a deep breath, I stood to my feet and walked straight to the bathroom. Karen had woken up early and left my room. I washed up a little and stepped out of my room quickly. While I took the staircase, I spotted Mia and Emily standing in the living room and it seemed like they were both waiting for me. “Hey, good morning,” I uttered as I walked towards where they both stood. “Morning,” Karen responded first, and then Emily. “I need your help Tyler, I need to warn Christian about Alpha Damon's plans and help with fighting every single person that's after him,” Emily said. I glanced at her for a moment and as our eyes locked, I could feel the pain within her. She was really worried about Christian. She still had the same sparkling eyeballs. All I could see right now was my Emily from a few months ago.
EMILY'S POV.I held Lilith's hand firmly while Mia stood next to me. We waited outside for a few minutes until when Karen arrived. “Hey, Emily.” She waved from afar. I turned to face Mia and began to speak. “Alright Mia, the one thing I need you to do right now is to get to the plane safely with Lilith,” I ordered and bent to Lilith's level. “I'll see you soon baby, mummy can't go with you now,” I said, rising straight up. “What about you Emily,” Mia questioned.I smiled warmly at her and cuddled her tightly. “I have something urgent to do right now.” With that, I turned quickly to meet Karen.We both stepped out of the airport glass door and walked straight to Karen's car. As we climbed in, Karen turned on the engine and we drove to Tyler's place quickly. ________________TYLER’S POV. I sat on the sofa with my attention fully drawn to Zane as he stood opposite me. “If that would be the case, then I must meet with all my pack members.” I declared and shut my eyes, relaxing more
“Are you sure I shouldn't tag along?” Lisa asked as she brushed Karen's hair smoothly. “I'll be alright Lisa, you don't need to worry too much”. Karen assured her.For a while, she glanced at the mirror before her and smiled. Lisa had made sure she looked beautiful before she was finally going to see Tyler today. “I'm just saying bestie, you shouldn't just trust anyone that easily especially your husband's ex-wife.”Karen heaved deeply as soon as she heard Lisa's words. “There is absolutely nothing to worry about besides, Emily had finally moved on and she has a family of her own now. so we are both helping ourselves out.”Karen paused and held Lisa's hand gently. “I know you care so much about me but I think it is the right time to leave your place now.”“I'm not complaining Karen.” Lisa's tone was soft and low as she darted her gaze to the floor.“Yeah, I know but still, thank you so much for everything Lisa you are the best.” After that, Karen pulled herself up and came closer to
AUTHOR'S POV.“Kill her!.” Tyler heard one of the men's voices. A smirk crept at the corner of her lips as she began to walk to and fro.“Is this mainly because I followed you here or because I caught you strangling that patient until he passed out?” questioned and they both glanced at each other.Tyler turned her gaze to them and then back to the floor. She began to speak. “From the look of things, I know who you both are after and I'm willing to help you,” she uttered and smiled warmly.“I could make Christian finally come to you on a condition that you get rid of that slot that's always with him.” As Talia spoke, they both raised their brows in surprise.“Do you mean the doctor from earlier?” One of them mentioned and Talia nodded ahead happily.“Yeah, Emily!” She exclaimed. “However, I do have a very good plan and if you are willing to join hands with me, then it shall be carried out the day after tomorrow.” Talia watched silently as one of them drew close to where she stood and
