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
EMILY:I groaned lightly as all I felt was bad and heavy pain around my forehead. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. When my vision became clear again, my eyes met with the figure of a man on the other side of the room with his back turned on me.He had not noticed I was awake, and it seemed his mind was rather occupied with something else.When I groaned loudly, he immediately turned around and faced me."Hey, hey, are you alright?" I didn't reply to him. He helped me sit upright on the bed, and when I was finally able to see his face properly, I recognized him as the policeman who had helped me earlier."Thanks…""It's fine. Are you alright?" I nodded my head in return, and when he let go of my hand, he sat down close to me. "How long have I been out?""It's just 4 hours. You almost got into an accident, but you're safe now. I'm in no position to ask you what happened, so I'll leave you to rest."He rose to his feet, but as he was about to walk away, I held his hand back. "I hav
NATALIA:Sulking in my pain, I wrecked my hands through my hair. My breathing was erratic, and the only thing I could feel was burning rage eating deeper into my soul.Fuck I wanted to be high…. I wanted to take some drugs and forget the pain, but sadly, I kept thinking about the look on his face when he hugged her.Christian never looked at me that way.My heart kept pounding.I left work after seeing them together because it was hard to concentrate. Walking over to the center table, I picked up the glass and bottle of alcohol on the table and poured a little quantity into it.I could feel my throat burning hot, but that wasn't still enough to make the rage inside of me stop because the only thing that engulfed my mind was what I had seen earlier. It hurts so much knowing that Christian was in love or he was gradually falling in love with Emily.I sniffled and filled the glass with more drink, then gulped down everything at a go."Fuck!!" A scream tore out of my lips when I heard my
EMILY:I got to the hospital and thanked Trent who had brought me there. As I stepped down, I was expecting him to leave, but he didn't. Instead he followed me inside."Can you wait for me here, I have to see someone urgently."When he nodded his head, I began to rush to Christian's office. I had not gotten in when I heard him call my name. I turned around to see him behind me, and I had no idea what came over me because what happened next was me rushing towards him and hugging him so tight."What the hell happened to you? You left without…..""I know and I'm sorry. I just wanted some time alone to think about everything going on in my life. I wanted to pour out my frustrations somewhere else when I saw her struggling."He rubbed my hair while I cried on his shoulders.When I broke the hug, Christian noticed the bandage on my forehead."What happened?"I didn't want to tell him it was an accident. "I hurt myself a few hours ago but I'm fine Christian, I promise. I just want to see Ani
ALPHA TYLER:Zane walked in, but he wasn't alone.I waited till the young lady was standing right in front of me before I rose to my feet and outstretched my hand for a handshake. Her face looked so cold, and red at the same time."Ms. Natalia George?"We both took our seats afterwards and I beckoned Zane to get me and the young lady a bottle of wine. When he walked away, I adjusted my suit jacket properly and cleared my throat aloud"You must be surprised I called you here.""I knew you were definitely going to seek my attention one day, and I'm glad you did." She smiled, the left corner of her cheek showing a dimple deep and beautiful."So what do you have for me, Ms Talia."I folded my legs together, leaning back on my seat and staring at the beautiful figure in front of me. As I leaned backward, she leaned forward, resting her elbow on the table keeping us apart and ensuring her cleavages were visible enough for me to see."Let's discuss your ex-wife, and mate, Emily."I knew what
Killian's number was something I didn't forget because we were much closer. As I brought my phone out, I quickly dialed his number.Although I had told myself that I wasn't going to get myself involved in anything about my past. Apart from Anita, I badly wanted every other thing gone forever, but today I had no idea why I wanted to find out what was going on with Tyler."Hey," I started and suddenly became quiet because I found myself contemplating whether to say the words that I had in mind or not."Who's this, please?' I heard Killian's voice multiple times, but I still didn't reply. My heart was racing so fast, and somehow I was scared of nothing."Killian." I suddenly called his name without expecting him to recognize my voice immediately, but he did. "Emily? Is that you?"Even I was shocked. I smiled for only a few seconds and answered, "Yes Killian, it's me."I could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke to me. "Where are you, I'll come to you immediately."What I had in m
KAREN POV:I stepped out of the room and began heading straight for the kitchen. Since I heard everything Tyler and his mother said, I didn't step out of my room because I had a lot to think about.Was it just me, or was my feelings for Tyler hurting me even more after I heard what he had said?He wasn't going to give up on Emily? That was fucking bullshit. All my life, I had always lived in the shadow of my step-siblings. That was always what my father made me do.My mother, who was his Luna after his first Luna had died, was treated like a slave while I was younger, and she always tried her very best to keep me safe from the cold hands of my father and my heartless step-siblings who always derived joy in bullying me.I got to the kitchen, and since I was thirsty, brought out a glass and filled it with water.After gulping down everything, I decided to calm myself down and think about everything I've been through just to be where I am.Love? Father would murder me and have my head on
EMILY: "Hey, are you alright?" This was the 10th time I was asking Anita this question. She rolled her eyes at me like she always does without giving me a reply, but even after I got a reply the previous times I asked her, I still wasn't assured and I kept worrying about her."I'm gonna hit you if you ask me that question one more time." I chuckled. "Stop kidding me, Anita. I know how much you're holding up, but you aren't too good at hiding pain, you never were.""I just woke up, Emily, and so I ought to feel even a little pain. I'll heal, I promise." I took her hand and held it in mine, smiling, "I thought I'd lost you forever Anita." I was trying hard not to cry because I knew she would scold me if I did. "I'm so sorry I didn't come to look for you after what Alexander did to you. I didn't come to check up on you, and for that I'm sorry."She was silent."What happened?" She asked after a moment of silence. I didn't know if she was asking about what happened to me and Tyler or
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
