EMILY:Christian stepped into the ward. My hands were clutched as I was staring at Karen. There was so much hate growing deeper inside of me, but at the same time, I wanted to save that baby."Let's save her," I told Christian whose hand was on my shoulders. It was a hard decision to make. "We're doctor, let's save her first.""You can leave if you can't handle it."I wanted so badly to turn around and walk away, but I couldn't. "Why should I?" "We can get her transferred to another hospital immediately. I understand how you feel seeing them here, and I'm begging you to leave Emily. You're going through enough already, so please."The tears that I had been badly holding back finally fell free. I sniffled while still staring at Karen. Christian was right, I could not hide the hate I was feeling deep down for her, and I might be overtaken by my thirst for revenge and hurt an innocent child along the line."Please." I heard Christian's voice say to me again, as I turned my gaze to him.
~EMILY~"For everything. I couldn't protect you, Emily, I'm sorry. I should have kept you away from everything. It was just my job, and I failed." Christian said to me.I still didn't raise my head high to stare at him. Instead, his words comforted me so deeply that I couldn't help staring at him. There was something about him that was making me extremely happy.He smiled at him and I brought out my hand so he would hold onto it."Thank you, Christian. From the very first day, you saved me, thank you."I smiled at him like he has smiled at me. I didn't want to tell him that I had seen Tyler outside, and what Tyler had said."You still wanna sleep? Maybe I should get your drugs."I shook my head in negation. "I want us to stay like this for a while. Stay with me till I fall asleep."Staying with Lilith was making me think less of the child that I had lost, and staying with Christian was helping me forget Tyler and the fact that he chose Karen over me again.I wanted to fall asleep soon
~TYLER~I walked out of the room a few minutes after Natalia had walked out. I took the turn she had earlier given to me and found her waiting for me at a corner."Who are you?""No time for questions. Do you perhaps know Emily?""How did you?""Just answer the question."Because I had to trust her, I nodded my head. "Yes," I replied."I can help you, Mr. Tyler, if you're willing to tell me everything I need to know. Sadly, your wife is going to be transferred, but this is out of my control."She tucked her hand into her pocket, brought out a piece of paper, and handed it to me. "Let's meet here after your wife is fine at exactly this time. I'll keep checking and once she's fine, please meet me here. This is how desperate I am."She wasn't lying because I could see that desperation in her eyes, but I still didn't know if I could trust her or not. It felt like she could read my mind."You can trust me, I promise. I'll prove it to you once we meet."She didn't give me the opportunity to
~CHRISTIAN~I was in my office where there was a knock on my door. Since I was expecting someone, I shut down the laptop in front of me. "Come in." And said.The door opened and Shane, my beta, walked in."Hey." He greeted me as he walked in. I instructed him to take a seat and he did."Did anyone see you walk in here?"He shook his head in negation and answered, "No.""Alright. How are things going at the company? What are the new investors saying and how many have you gotten to back down?"Shane adjusted his suit properly while I was still staring at him. He dipped his hand into his suit pocket and brought out a paper."I think you need to see this. Maybe you should consider coming over to the company yourself soon, Alpha."I collected the paper from him and read through it. This was a proposal from Tyler Lockwood. I scoffed aloud. "Do you know Alpha Tyler personally. If you do, then you're a certain he's also a powerful man."I remained silent because Shane had not even the slighte
KAREN:Immediately I opened her eyes, I groaned as my body felt a little bit numb. Cocking my head to the left, the only person I was was Tyler."Hey." He said, still seated a few inches away from me. I didn't say a word but took my gaze away from him. I had nothing to say to him after what had happened about a week ago.I was hoping Tyler would say something to me, or at least he would tell me to say something to him, but I remembered our last conversation before I got hurt and passed out. It only made me realize that Tyler never wanted me but the baby. That was probably the only thing bonding us together and keeping this marriage.The thought of it made me so scared because I knew that I was gradually falling in love with him without showing it.There was a knock on the door, and a few seconds later, the door opened. Zane stepped in. Tyler rose on his feet and walked towards him, while I stared at both of them. I had no idea what they were saying, but Zane walked up to me when they
EMILY:When I woke up the next morning, I freshened up and came downstairs for breakfast. I was expecting to see Christian be seated and waiting for Lilith and me, but the dining table was empty.I halted right in front of it and looked around recalling that Christian didn't come back home yesterday. I waited for him till I decided to go to bed."Did Christian come home yesterday?" I asked a maid who was busy dusting and cleaning the living room. She shook her head in negation, and I instantly became worried.I reached for the stairs and headed back to the room to get my phone, and when I did, I instantly placed a call. After several trials, it wasn't going through.He had his life to live and he could go anywhere he wanted to, but why the hell was I worried about where he could be right now? I was even more worried that he didn't come home last night.The hospital was the only place I could check.Stupid thoughts filled my head, but I had to cast them aside because I knew Christian w
ALPHA TYLER:"damnit Zane, what the fucking hell is happening?"I took a deep breath in after hitting the table hard as I stared at the paper right in front of me. Every damn thing was a fucking mess already and it seemed like no matter how much I was trying my best to man everything better, it just couldn't work out straight."I have no idea either. They keep backing down and none of them want to have anything to do with the company anymore. There's nothing more we can do now because we received a message that constant persuasion would lead to a suit""How dare those old fools treat me this way? Do they fucking know who they are messing with?"Zane was quiet while I kept thinking about the next step to take. I turned around and stared at him. "Can you get me information on Mr. Kane, Mr. Finn, Mr Alessandro, and Mr Williams? I need to find out every damn thing about them if I really want this meeting to happen.Zane nodded his head and walked out of my office.I walked towards the win
CHRISTIAN:"The baby's out!"With my nose mask still on, I took out a deep breath, and continued with whatever I was doing. My sole reason for working this hard was Emily, and as I thought about her, I was really determine to save the patient faster."Place the baby in an incubator." I instructed a nurse and decided to continue with the operation. I could still feel my heart beating fast, and the uneasiness in me getting worse."Let's patch things up." I said to the doctors who were assisting me.As I was about to carry on, I cocked my head backwards, and saw Emily standing outside through the transparent glass.A few moments later, I cocked my head back to continue the operation."Her blood pressure's dropping. I think the patient's reacting to something."I had lost concentration, and I had absolutely no idea what the fuck I was doing because I waw scared. I took two steps backwards, although not too far from the patient."Doctor Christian, what are we gonna do? At this rate, we're
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
