**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
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
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
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 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
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
