**Alexander’s POV**I sat listening to Chad ramble on and on about some business gone wrong and how the Chandlers were fast making a lot of my shareholders turn in their shares to them.The thought of Rosie going to this length just to spite me infuriated me. She’d been making a lot of my very good alliances give up their shares to her and her father. And with the rate at which this was going, she might end up having more than thirty per cent of my company’s shares at the end of the month.I sighed dejectedly at the thought and sank into my chair. My thoughts were a mess; and from the expression on Chad’s face, it was obvious that he was just as confused as I was about the whole deal.“What do you intend to do?” He asked quietly, almost carefully. It almost seemed like he was afraid of speaking too loud so as not to trigger one of my usual outbursts that had been repeatedly reoccurring these past few days. “Can’t you just say no? It’s your company for fucks sake! Your company’s share
**Emily’s POV**Images fleeted before my eyes like a projector. I could see the beautiful lady from my dreams hug me, even the chained-up man from my nightmare looked a lot better; and was surprised when he kissed me on the head as he was about to go into a black sleek car with two other men right behind him.I saw the woman die too, alongside a lot of other people who looked quite as innocent and harmless as she did.I saw myself go through torture; Alpha Alexander, Mary, and a guy who was training me on how to fight. I also saw a slutty looking girl and a lot of other people that I could no longer recognize.I wasn’t sure I have ever met them all before but it almost seemed like I was being shown fragments of my past life.I was in a state of trance… not awake but not asleep; was quite struggling to get out of the trance when a loud crackling voice suddenly tore me out of my haze. The loud crackling voice happened to be Mary’s whose loud high pitched voice was bellowing out lyrics
**Ethan’s POV**I was in a heated conversation with one of my business associates when I noticed a tiny framed girl walk in quickly into the pool area.Immediately I caught sight of her wild hair and beautiful eyes, I immediately knew that it was Emily, my Emily.Mr Chris rambled on and on about the benefits I would derive from working with him but I just couldn’t seem to pay attention anymore, my full attention was on Emily now.I heard him snicker from beside me when he caught sight of what I was staring at and then heard him whisper something along the lines of how women would draw you in with their beauty but drain you as soon as you got to meet them.The meeting came to an abrupt end after that and I didn’t bother with pleasantries as he stood up to leave. I didn’t leave.I stood at a distance watching Emily as she pranced along the length of the swimming pool with a look of confusion plastered across that pretty face of hers that I had grown to obsess about.I couldn’t believe t
**Emily’s POV**My body tingled as jolts of wild electric currents ran up the length of my spine, but it wasn’t the good type of jolt; This one was the most wrong in every way. It was the type you got before everything went absolutely wrong. The type that usually served as a warning to you.The thought of meeting that Ethan boy filled me with so much worry, I didn’t understand why I would feel so uncomfortable around a person. I found it quite difficult to shake out thoughts of him from my mind, and also couldn’t stop thinking of the way he had stared at me earlier at the pool area like I was some sort of prey.In fact, thinking about it now still gives me the creeps, especially whenever I think of how he had tried to touch me inappropriately and still saw nothing wrong with what he did.The thoughts of him still made me shiver uncomfortably. I felt like I knew him from somewhere and probably for a long time, but from what I had seen of him and how I felt towards him, it was quite ob
**Alexander’s POV**I sat quietly in my office staring blankly at the pile of papers in front of me without being able to make sense of what they were because I was extremely lost.My mind was a mess, and even my job and every other thing I could think of. For the past few days I had been getting incessant threats from unknown people, and even one time, one had sent me a picture of Emily, talking about how thrilling it would be for me to see her in a body bag.That particular threat had shaken me to the core because the picture that had been sent with it was that of Emily who was sitting on the edge of a pool that was obviously situated in the Bahamas. I felt powerless because, for one, I wasn’t there with her and secondly because I knew that the person who must’ve sent those threats would be aware if I tried to do anything funny just to save Emily.They already knew she was there, and already knew I wasn’t there with her, so what more do they have to know to strike me when I le
**Emily’s POV**Rage. All I saw and felt was a red blinding rage. It coursed through my body violently, in waves strong enough to knock me down in normal circumstances.This wasn’t a normal circumstance as I just caught my mate going at it with some random woman only a few days after I was gone. Gone on a trip that he had practically forced me to.Thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but think that he had tried to get rid of me for a few days only for him to have enough time to frolic around with his mistress.An angry scream suddenly tore out of the back of my throat, which made everyone around the corridor turn to look at me in shock. They were probably this shocked because I had been the bubbling ever smiling one only a few minutes ago and now I was looking as though my world had come crashing down before my eyes.I quickly stormed to my room, ignoring their intense stares but I also felt Mary run after me.As soon as I got into my room, I left the door ajar for Mary to come in a
**Emily’s POV**Several misshapen Images played before my eyes like a broken stereo tape; even some of them played and replayed over and over again as if they were trying to pass some sort of secret message across to me.One of them caught my attention though, and it was one of Alexander in his office with a particularly beautiful blondie straddling him on his office chair while he in turn did tons of r-rated things to her body. The scene playing out in front of me sent wild angry shivers down the length of my body, infuriating me even more than I already was.I paid a closer look to her face to discover that she wasn’t even the same blondie that I had seen in his office only a few minutes ago, and in fact, this one had a softer look to her eyes than the one I last saw.He sure had a thing for blondes.Several more scenes played out in front of me, ranging from Alexander in bed with a lady to one where he was scolding and literally squeezing the life out of her neck while I stood the
**Emily’s POV**“Who are you?” I asked, still in shock. I could hear her muffled giggles in my head and I winced, desperately looking for a way to shut out the noise, but all my efforts seemed fruitless as her voice resounded over and over in my head until I was sure I would go crazy.“I’m Ariel…your wolf.” She replied in a manner that had traces of giggles lined in every word.Oh wow, I had a wolf too? Like those ugly beastly things that Alpha Alexander had almost turned into?“I never knew I had a—” I started saying but stopped halfway when Mary’s voice cut through the fog in my head.“Em, I think you would have to be taken to Alpha Alexander’s room tonight; your room’s a mess and you can’t sleep here.” She said, looking at me with eyes that seemed almost…sympathetic?I could notice the look she shared with me and I could say that she obviously wasn’t in support of me sleeping there either but at the same time, couldn’t invite me over to hers.I didn’t want to sleep over at Alexand
