Alexander's POVI was exhausted and confused as I tried to explain myself about that compromising position Rosie had placed me in. Emily's Father reluctantly agreed, I knew that he would definitely hear the other side of the story and that would be from Rosie's mouth.I quickly took off my clothes, opting for a shower. I tried to get my thoughts straight but it seemed almost impossible. I couldn't do much as thoughts of Emily overcrowded my mind. I darted off into the bathroom to cool off the heat and tension rising in my body.I quickly had my bath and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked to the wardrobe, reminiscing about what I would wearAt least, Emily was the one who thought for me. I never had to think too much about what to wear, eat or anything at all.I pulled out a black suit as usual, loving black like it was my birthright. I couldn't even think of any colour to wear, most people would think that I was in my mourning period. Only close friends knew that I loved black.
Alexander's POVGroaning, I paced around the room I had excused myself to as I tried mind-linking Emily for the umpteenth time.I hadn't got any response from her and I wonder if she was blocking me out because of him.Also, I couldn't help but imagine all that she was going through currently and the urge to do something drastic surged through me but my wolf suppressed all the irrational things I desired to do and shoved the thoughts out of my mind.I walked out of the room and into my office with my thoughts all over the place, while ignoring the greetings from my receptionist."Good morning sir," She had said but I walked past her.However, when I remembered that I needed Chad's presence in my office, I walked back to her to send her on an errand; "Get Chad on the phone and tell him that his presence is needed in my office as soon as he can." I ordered and she nodded."He's already waiting in your office Sir" she replied, thus making me cock my eyebrows in surprise. I wondered how C
Emily's POV Anger soared through my veins, numbing me at the fact that I couldn’t mind-link Alexander, my mate, simply because I feared what Ethan would do to me.I couldn’t live like this anymore! The idea of shutting him out because of Ethan, notwithstanding the fact that I have been caged in my room for two days, only receiving food that sometimes I didn't have an appetite to eat infuriates me. I had to do something about it! I felt sick staring at my pale figure.Accepting Alexander's mind link would be to my detriment, not knowing when that monster would step in when I use the mind link.I had already had my bath, frustratedly laid on the bed waiting for my breakfast because I didn't eat dinner- I threw it out the window for his dogs to eat. He had dogs but hardly fed them.He even showed his monster traits to his pets, how pathetic!I was brought back to reality when a guard knocked on my door and asked;"Can I be allowed to speak to you?"I recognized the guard's voice, he w
Emily's POVEthan was still pissed off that I locked myself up in the bathroom."You better open up this door, or the guards are coming to break it!" He barked, but I paid no attention to him. I could hear his gruff voice as he groaned in pain, and I knew that his head still hurt. "I won't open the door for a monster like you, you've tortured me enough, and it's so unfortunate that I have to suffer for no cause!" I retorted, leaning against the door. I knew that I was no match for the guards if, eventually, he summoned them, but I couldn’t just let him have his way. "I must have a taste of your bud, you're like a rose flower planted in my garden, but I wasn't the one that made you come here, so nothing is stopping me from parting the folds of your cunt with my shaft. It'll be nice, easy and slow; I promise you'll love it." He slurred.His drunken voice made his vulgar words even more offensive to my ears. It pissed me so much that I wanted to shove his balls down his throat until
Emily's POVMaybe this was the moment. The moment when I needed to fight against him, locking me up and trying to force himself on me was enough—the number of people he had killed. Lots of guards, a lot of warriors, his father killed my father once before, he killed Laurel, starving able-bodied men till they don't even have the stamina anymore? What else could he not do?All of that needs to end. The torturing of innocent people, killing of innocent people, had to end. And I promise myself to end him. I turned to William and The guard. The guard was shivering in fear because of the fear he had imprinted on them. I loosened the chain totally and got up on my feet. Placing a hand on his shoulder, I nodded positively. "There is no reason for you to get scared. You can do this. I will help you get out of here." But he still didn't stop. Well, I thought he was a brave guard."Yes! She is right. Don't you remember her? She is our princess before Ethan and his father took over." William a
Emily's POVI was still seated on the floor, trying hard to gather my strength together because the minute I stood up, I wouldn't stop running. I wanted to heal so fast, but I couldn't force Ariel.We were carrying Alex's pup. She was weak and had been craving for her mate. But I told her to be strong. To be strong for Alex, to be strong for the pup we were carrying. "Let me try and heal you. I can't promise you that it will heal completely, but..." Ariel began."Save your strength for healing." I cut her off and sat there. I shut my eyes, not caring if Ethan found me sitting on the large stone. As the healing process began, it was cut short by the people screaming and running as fast as they could. I snapped my eyes open, and immediately, I got up on my feet but ended up falling back on the floor.I realised I couldn't stand on my feet because my wolf was still healing me, but as soon as Ariel noticed my uneasiness, she stopped. So, I got up.The wound on my toes was half healed. I
ALEXANDER'S POVNo, this couldn't be! I murmured as I paced around my office.Rosie, Chad, and Emily's dad were all present, trying their best to calm me down. But I couldn't just relax. Knowing that Emily's life was in danger."Fúck!" I growled, doubling over as I felt a twinge at my side. This wasn't the first one. It had happened a few minutes ago, and I knew it was because of Emily.Ethan was torturing her; that was the only way I could feel the pain.I let out a growl and clenched my hands."Calm down. Everything would be okay." Rosie said.Frowning, I turned and faced her.I saw her standing just behind me. The audacity she had to tell me to calm down. How could everything be okay when she was the reason this had happened? I walked closer to her and grabbed her by the neck."How dare you?" I pulled her up by the neck, squeezing the life out of her."Please!" She gasped out.Chad shoved me, but my grip on her neck didn't loosen.I wanted her to feel as much pain as Emily was fe
Emily's POVBlood spewed out of my mouth as Ethan punched me. Whatever he did to me, I promised myself never to cry.Not now. Not ever.I don't want him to see me as a weakling. Never! I clenched my fist and tried to prevent him from gripping my neck. Just then, a sword appeared in his hand, and he was keen on slitting my throat.But before it could reach my throat, I raised my hand; flames of fire emerged from my palm, and I used it to tackle him instead. I used it to smack his cheek, and I swear it got burnt. Ethan cried out in pain and fell on the floor. The sword disappeared from his hand.Using that opportunity, I got up from the floor and ran out as fast as possible. I ran out of that vicinity, looking for the poor little girl I had just saved—that wicked bastard.When I saw Ethan from afar again, I sprinted to the other side. It was then I saw William and the guard."Have you freed all of them? " I asked, breathing hard.I was exerting too much pressure on my body. I wonder ho
EMILY POVIt had been Six months, six weeks, Six days, six hours, and six seconds and Alexander was yet to wake up.Everything had been quiet and peaceful ever since Ethan and his father died. But my mate was yet to wake up. Ever since those spears and arrows pierced into his body, he had been unconscious, and the healer of the pack had been doing everything he could. He said he would wake up soon.Perhaps, I should be grateful he was still breathing because Rosie died—even her father.I felt pity for Rosie because I heard in the end, she knew she was wrong and asked for forgiveness. Even though she had caused us pain before, I still appreciated her bravery. She saved me from the spears and arrows. I sat beside Alexander on the bed and wiped his forehead with a small towel and water. Just then, Chad and Mary entered with Liliana. The little girl I saved from Ethan at the mansion six months ago.Liliana jumped on the bed and turned to me."Mommy. When will daddy wake up?" She asked.
EMILY'S POVI knew this part would come where I would have to use my fighting skills."What do you mean my powers won't work here? What did you do to me?!" I yelled.The urge to rush towards him and wipe the smirk off his face filled me.I couldn't do it. He had an advantage over me. He could use his magic, and I couldn't.Ethan disappeared, and he appeared right behind me. I felt his hand on my hair; turning, I swatted his hand away."I guess I need to stop playing," Ethan said.With that, he brought out his sword; it was surrounded by dark magic.He pointed it to me. "If I can't have you, he can't."I let out a breath and stared him in the eyes even as I was frightened about what he'd do to me.Ethan sprinted towards me and bellowed, "Accept me or die, Emily!""Never!" I grunted, dodging his attack.I jumped away from him and scowled. "Get over your obsession with me. I'll never be yours!"That seemed to infuriate him because his eyes narrowed.Ethan rushed towards me, and I dodged
ALEXANDER'S POV"Emily!" I yelled, dropping the sword with me. It clattered to the ground, and I rushed to where she was a while ago."Emily!" Swirling, I yelled again.But I got no response. She was gone. She and Ethan. They both disappeared into thin air.I gripped my head and let out a howl.How dare he?!"I'll kill him; I'll Kill him!" I repeated it over again.My body shuddered, and I gasped out as my heart constricted."I swear by the moon goddess, I'll kill him.""What's wrong?" I heard Chad's voice.But I could not respond to him. The rage that filled me this instant made me want to find Ethan in whatever hole he had crawled into and punch him."Alexander!" Chad gripped my hand, snapping me out of my daze.I turned to stare at him and noticed he was breathing hard with blood all over his clothes. Also., from the corner of my eyes, I saw Mary rushing towards me."Where is Emily? Where is Ethan?" She asked, and immediately I felt something sparkle on her wrist.It was a tattoo.
Emily's POVSword fighting, hitting, stabbing, choking, and kicking occurred in most of the fights. It was the survival of the fittest. I didn't stop fighting, either. Even though I felt fatigued at some point, Alexander would always come to my aid. Then, we teamed up and fought against Ethan."You are mine, Emily," Ethan said obsessively.I presumed it made Alexander furious."No, she is mine. She is my wife, and your declarations over here are pointless. You motherfucker." Alex said possessively. Ariel leapt for joy the moment she heard that."You are a vile man," I said to Ethan."Yes, I am vile and crazy for you, my love," Ethan said and raised his sword up but then Alexander dodged the incoming blow.Alexander roared, and the wind started to blow violently."I have never for once shared my woman with anyone. Emily belongs to me alone. Alone and not you. She is my wife. She is carrying my child. So you have no right over her." Alexander stabbed Ethan with his sword, but he heale
Emily's POVSwiftly, I turned to see Alexander—my mate. The father of my child was standing right behind me. Our eyes locked, and tears slid down my cheek.Immediately he pulled me into a hug, and I wept on his shoulder. Then I saw Mary, Chad and my...oh my goodness! My dad.Despite the tears in my eyes, I couldn't help but frown.I had mentioned to Alexander not to allow him to come over to face off against Ethan because he wasn't strong enough.I pulled away from the embrace and stared into his eyes. I missed him so much.I brushed off the nasty thoughts that swam in my head as I continued staring at him. I knew it wasn't the right place or situation to have such thoughts, but I couldn't help it."Why did you bring him along?" I asked him.Before he could answer the question, Alexander turned and made me take his position. It was then I understood what was going on.Ethan had cut Alexander on his back with his sword. But it didn't work on him. He healed immediately.Ethan might have
