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
KAREN:After I barged into the room and slammed the door, I walked to the bed and lay on it, taking a pillow in front of me and tossing it aside."Fuck!"I could feel so much irritation. Was I less important to everybody in my life? I scoffed aloud when I suddenly recalled Tyler, and all of a sudden, Emily came to my mind. How the hell did she not die?The fucking moon goddess!When I heard my phone ringing, I rose from the bed and headed towards the table to pick it up. It was my father calling. At first, I thought of ignoring his calls, but that would only mean trouble, and I had no idea what he would do to my mother if I avoided his calls.I answered the call and placed the phone close to my ear. "Dad.""You need to come home tomorrow, Karen." His cold voice sounded on the phone, and where I was standing, I rolled my eyes. Only I knew how deeply I hated this man to my bones, and how much I would love to see him dead."Dad, I…""No stupid excuse lady, come home tomorrow or the next
KAREN POV:I hurried down the stairs, with my car keys dangling as I ran. It was only 43 minutes left else I would lose my mother for good. Tears rolled down my eyes, but I rubbed it clean when I spotted Tyler's mom seated on the longest sofa.I ignored her but as I was about to unlock the door and step out, she called my name leading me to turn around to give her attention."Where the hell are you going with that child in your womb?""It's none of your business where I'm going to. I'm not a prisoner here, and so I have every right to go wherever I want to go."I opened the door and walked out of the room, ignoring her yells which were so irritating especially because I was so very concerned about my mother and I was fucking working with time here.I got into the car and ignited the engine, and the only thing that came to my mind was to fucking speed out of the house, and so did I."D...dad… dad," I called as I ran into the mansion. My heart was racing so fast, and I had even forgotte
ALPHA TYLER:As I stepped into my office, I took off my suit jacket and dropped it on my seat. Releasing a deep breath I made to sit down when the door was forced open without a Knock"Fuck!" I groaned as I saw Zane walk in. "I fucking just had a stressful meeting 3 minutes ago, so no Zane. Whatever you have for me, cancel everything so I can rest." "I'm afraid that would be impossible, Alpha." He said, making me stare at him with cold eyes as I recalled he had just barged in without even knocking."What the hell is it?""There are two problems, and it's urgent. He walked closer to me, and handed me photos.""Why is Emily with Killian?""That's not the only thing Alpha, she was attacked earlier, and we have no idea where she is right now."I rose to my feet. "Where the fuck was Killian when Emily was being taken?""He also had no idea what happened. Most of the people you instructed to look out for her also had no idea what happened or who had attacked them earlier."I hit the table
EMILY:When I opened my eyes, I found myself close to a cliff. Fear gripped me immediately and I crawled towards where I knew I would be safe with my heart racing so fast, I shut my eyes so I would be able to think for a second.What the fucking hell happened?How long have I been here?I had nothing on me except my clothes. My wristwatch, keys, money and purse were gone. Then, I began to recall what happened. I was in a restaurant having a word with Killian when suddenly we were attacked. My heart suddenly skipped another beat when I thought about Killian.What the hell happened? I knew he would never let them take me until they hurt him. So that meant he was hurt. My phone was gone too and when I tried to rise to my feet, I fell down halfway up already and groaned in a slight pain."Fuck!!'Christian would be so worried about me, especially because I didn't let him know where I was heading to earlier. With all the strength I could gather, I rose to my feet, and began to walk unstead
CHRISTIAN:I continued to wait, and most times I would go into Anita's ward to check of Emily was back or not. I simply had this strong feeling that she wasn't safe wherever she was right now, but since I had not even an idea where she went to earlier, I didn't know where to start my search from.I walked back into mu office, and stared at the wall clock. It was almost 10, and yet Emily wasn't back. Two hours ago, I was supposed to leave with Lilith, but I just couldn't. Not without seeing for myself that she's back, and safe."Fuck"As I dropped the papers back, there was a knock on my door."Come in.""Here's the patient in room 305 files. I got it as you requested."I nodded my head and signaled her to drop it on my table. Before she walked out of my office, I ensured it was exactly what I needed by briefing through it."You can leave now." I didn't bother to raise my head and stare at her walk away but once the door was closed, I opened the files and began to look at them one aft
NATALIA:I halted, biting my lower lips, and then I turned around to see Christian still waiting for me. I could feel my heart pounding against my chest because I was about to say something that I had in mind for years now.Although I didn't see it as the right time to tell him how I really felt, I had to because I had this feeling someone else would definitely try to get close to him.I turned around to stare at him. Swallowing a lump of saliva, and summoning enough courage, I opened my mouth to speak up, but then the right words were failing to come out as I stared at his deep brown eyes. I swallowed another lump of saliva unable to take my gaze away from his eyes."Are you just going to keep staring at me?" His words made me realize that I was making a fool of myself the more I was only staring at him without saying a word and so I cleared my throat to speak up."I….I…"My heartbeat increased even more as I tried to say something.Taking a deep breath in, I folded my hands togethe
CHRISTIAN:"You heard? I have some of my men looking around for her, but she's nowhere to be found yet.""What exactly happened?" "We were attacked by some rogues, and I was taken unaware. I have no idea what was used on me, but I passed out even before I could protect Emily. When I woke up, she was gone."My hands clenched, and I took in a deep breath to calm myself down. "You don't recognize any of the rogues?" I questioned, and he shook his head in negation. "Why did Emily meet with you in the first place? Don't try to hide anything from me because I need every little detail I can get to find her."He was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "About Tyler. She was worried about Tyler, and she came to ask about him."I arched my brows in surprise because to me it felt like Killian was lying. "Are you lying to me?""Why would I lie to you? I want Emily to be found as soon as possible just like you do and so I have no reason to hide. I would like to find those fucking bastard and tear
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
