EMILY:"Talia… focus." She immediately came back to her senses and handed him the scalpel. I could tell she was lost in her thoughts. She raised her eyes, and stared at mine with so much hate in there. I had finally done it, and I wasn't going to let her hurt even a single strand on my hair. She had done it once, but it wouldn't happen again."Leave, I'll take care of it." I said and everyone looked at me."W…what?" She replied immediately"You aren't in a good shape today, Talia, and you could hurt the patient if you don't come back to your senses. We'll take care of everything here so leave."Everywhere was silent, and everyone in here was waiting for Dr Christian's response."Do as she says. When you feel you're alright, then you can perform the next surgery with us."Talia was shocked. She averted her gaze towards him, and then brought it back to me. The mask on her nose didn't cover her eyes, so I could see them closely. They were so bloody due to anger, but I wasn't even afraid
EMILY:I walked out of the operating room and headed straight for Christian's office. He was seated and attending to some files."I accept. For the meantime, at least till we find who tried to harm me, I'll move in with you."He stared at me. "Did something happen?"I shook my head in hesitation. "Okay, I'll arrange for that."Even after he said that, I didn't stand up to leave. "Anything else?""We should keep this a secret too. I don't want any misunderstanding with anyone.""Alright." He answered sharply. There was something strange and I didn't know why he was acting a bit distant or harsh towards me. I wanted to ask if he was okay, but then I just rose on my feet."The surgery begins soon."As I turned to leave, something he had on his table caught my attention. I thought I had seen that face before even though it was covered half way with something else. I didn't want to act like I wanted to look at something."Aren't you leaving?" I cleared my throat."Nothing."I turned and wa
EMILY:"Can you go out to a party with me? Just act like you're my woman for a night." He said.I thought I had heard him wrong, no, I really did hear him wrong so I wanted to hear him again. "What? Why? No, come again!"He didn't say it again because he was certain I had heard him the first time. I didn't know what to say so I too kept quiet. I wasn't ready to act as his woman and go out with him. I had this feeling something might go wrong."Ch.. Christian.." I called.He waited patiently for me to gather the right words to say to him. "How important is this?" I questioned instead of giving him a straight no. I didn't like the fact that he had been stressed out the entire day, and it was really affecting some of the surgeries.I needed to know how important this was for me to come to a decision."It's really important. If I could let go of it, then I would have done that and not said a word to you."His response made me believe he too was having a tough time telling himself to do it
EMILY:I didn't even realize it had been up to 30 minutes already since I left until I heard Christian's voice."Emily, you okay in there?"I sniffled and fluttered my brows. I was a mess already and if I opened the door, Christian would certainly find out. "I'm fine." I replied. "I'll be out in a few minutes okay.""I don't believe you. Let me see you."I knew he wasn't going to agree so easily. I ran to the bed, picked up a towel and tied it around my hair. Once I opened the door, I poked my head out."I'll be out soon, give me a few minutes." I wasn't staring at him because of my eyes. They were really swollen and he would figure out that I had been crying. I didn't expect him to do it, but he raised my chin and made me stare at his face."You've been crying?"I knew I was busted already and there was no need hiding, but how come he always finds out everything. "Something got into my…" I didn't complete my statement before he came closer and hugged me tight. Though it suddenly mad
EMILY:2 Days LaterLilith was already getting better. That night, Christian and I were getting prepared for the party he had told me about 3 days ago.Instead of the hospital, we decided to leave Lilith at home with a nanny Christian had employed just for the night. I was still in my room staring at myself in my long purple gown. I turned around to check the outfit because it was a show back.There was a light knock on my door."Emily." I heard Christian's voice and immediately took a deep breath in. For a few seconds, my eyes were shut and when I opened them back, I began to walk towards the door. Christian has done so much for me, and if this was the only way to repay him, it was only fair. It was only a party, and all I had to just do was act like his lover.I sucked another deep breath and then opened the door. Christian was standing right in front of the door. The very moment he saw me, he smiled widely. I also did the same because I couldn't help but admire his look. He was in
TYLER:Karen and I got to the party. As much as I hated to admit it, Karen was really good at convincing me and making me do things under my own will, but not like Emily.Everyday, I reminded myself about Emily, and I felt like it was the pain I had to go through for giving her up first.While Karen and I were waiting outside, my best friend Killian approached me, and seeing him once again, I let out a smile."Hey man.* He greeted me first. My gaze diverted to the damsel he was holding, and I let out a smile."Tyler, this is Caroline, my Luna."I outstretched my hands towards her and shook her. Karen, who was standing by my side, also did the same thing. Seeing the perfect relationship Killian and Caroline shared, I envied them.Killian always envied me in the past while Emily and I were still dating, and he always made it clear that he wanted a love just like the one Emily and I shared."How long has it been? You haven't changed a bit Tyler." "A lot happened over the years." I repli
EMILY'S POV:Throughout the ride back home, I was silent. I didn't say a word to Christian no matter how hard he tried to say a word to me.My wolf was infuriated at the sight of Tyler, but my heart wasn't. It always belonged to Tyler, and somehow, I still felt it did.The car finally halted. Christian tried to talk to me again, but I just ignored him and walked out of the car. I began to head into the house, and when I got in, I headed straight for my room to be alone. This was a moment in my life where I had to think of my past.I slammed the door and rushed towards the bed, using a pillow to cover my face as I cried in it. Everything was hurting so much, especially because I had seen Tyler smile. It felt like he was happy, and that I was the only one suffering and thinking about him and the past.I heard a knock on the door, but I had to completely ignore it. A few seconds later, I heard Christian's voice."I'm sorry, Emily." He said.It wasn't his fault because he had no idea that
EMILY:I stepped out of the operating room and immediately took off my mask to breathe properly as I was in dire need of fresh air.I heaved deeply when I had gotten enough and proceeded to walk away, but the door opened and Natalia immediately walked out of the room with red and swollen eyes. She has been badly scolded by Christian today as well, but that was none of my concern.For a few days, after I had seen Tyler, my heart was no longer the same. I find myself losing concentration every minute and I can't stop thinking about him.I want to lock myself up and cry my eyes out every day, but I can't. I want to curse so loudly for losing my baby, but I can't. Everything seems like it's choking me up so much, but I can't give up, I can't do anything and I hate it so much.Natalia stared at me and rolled her eyes while I watched her. I guess she was yet to understand that there was absolutely nothing going on between me and Christian, and I would never explain myself to her because she
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
