Alexander's POVI was still lost in thoughts and figuring out Emily’s dad’s words but no matter how much I thought about it, It sounded off to me, like something that was made up.Still, he looked serious. He didn't seem like he was bluffing.Staring between him and the confused expression on Chad’s face, I scrunched up my nose while trying hard to understand what he meant."Your words are quite difficult to understand,” I mumbled in confusion and noticed how Chad nodded as if in agreement.“I do not understand the part where you insist that you are Ethan’s weakness. It feels surreal and very hard to believe. Is it his magic and what has it got to do with you?" I inquired, hoping he'd explain it bit by bit.“Yes, it is,” He replied with a dismissive shrug. “The foundation of his magic is governed by dark powers. Dark powers that were made out of the blood.” I tilted my head to the side, watching him speak but the truth was the fact that he wasn’t making any sense to me. I underst
Emily's POVI was still mesmerized by the beauty and elegance this room possessed.Feeding my eyes around the room, pretending to forget that I had a file in my hands."Are you going to hold that all day? Come on, have a look at the contents in that file?" Ethan affirmed with a stern questioning look on his face.I wondered why he was watching me and waiting for me to open the file. I guess he wanted to see my reaction. And might I add, his gaze unnerved me. It makes my skin crawl and I resisted the urge to throw up.I opened the paper slowly while keeping My eyes dilated as I gazed upon the papers."It's marriage papers!" I exclaimed."Yeah it's our marriage papers, we're married don't you remember?" I noticed the worries in Ethan's eyes, he waited earnestly for my response. "I can't... I don't remember." I quickly said, imagining how Ethan could come up with a shady plot like this."You don't have to remember, we're having our anniversary today. It's going to be wonderful, I have
Emily's POV "I'll be going in now, I've got some issues to sort out," Ethan said and he walked out of the garden, leaving me to myself. For a while, I sat alone watching as he walked towards the palace. As soon as he was out of sight, I walked back into the room. I sat on the bed, shutting my eyes as my thoughts filled with how to stop Ethan. "What's going on with you Emily?" A familiar voice in my head. Startled, I gazed around the room. "Mary?!" "Don't be scared Emily, you can't see me," Mary said. I frowned, "How?" First, it was Alexander and now Mary. How was I hearing her voice if she wasn't here?! "I'm quite happy to hear from you." Mary enthused. "What's going on with you? And are you with that bitch? We tried getting the location of where you must have been taken but no one seemed to know. And she wasn't saying, she kept threatening Alexander!" Mary rushed out. That whore! "I escaped from the brutal hands of Rosie and her father. Unfortunately, Ethan's men caught me
ALEXANDER'S POVThe fist I had slammed into Rosie's father jaw hurt but could still do more damage if need be."What did you do that for?!" Chad yelled, pulling me back."I felt like doing it and I don't regret it" I could feel a new surge of courage running through my veins. It felt sensational, staring at everyone's surprised faces including Rosie's Father's.He seemed startled and I could see steam shooting out of his ears. The expression on his face was as though I had done the worst thing ever."I only escorted you here to get insulted by him!" Rosie's father said after a while.I guess the surprise had worn off.He scowled and continued. "I regret my presence here Rosie and you will be blamed for that, I promise you that."I was surprised at his words, he didn't even ask his guards to get me arrested, rather he blamed it on his poor daughter who didn't feel scared about it, rather she chuckled softly at his retreating figure.I guess it happened like this all the time. When an o
Alexander's POVWalking out to meet Chad, many thoughts ran through my head, wondering how I would convince him into staying sane with Rosie. Insanity would be to our detriment.Chad had already left for the pack house, so I quickly got into my car and followed him home. I could jog the distance but I didn't want to."Chad!" I called but I got no response.I guess he was ignoring me on purpose. I had fears about his thoughts on Rosie's involvement. He could be cynical at times, and his anger tends to overshadow his sense of reasoning.I walked to his room, turning the door knob. I realized that it was locked."Chad please let me in, I need us to discuss this," I pleaded. "We all have to stick together and figure out her purpose of joining us because her actions always have an opposite reaction.""You're too dumb to see it. I could practically see through her and all I see is doom and the deceitfulness she possesses." Chad retorted.”I know, but it’s quite.. ""I'm sorry Alexander," C
Emily's POVI shifted to the side, feeling frightened and worried about myself and what Alpha Ethan had in store for me. Breathing in and out deeply, I listened to his retreating steps as if they would help me escape.I also couldn’t help but wonder how Alexander would feel if he got to know that I had lost his child to Ethan's brutality.I guess he would have Ethan's head served on a silver platter and left it out in the sun to be eaten by vultures and other birds of prey.Many things bothered my mind, and my stomach squeezed tightly, causing me so much pain.I let out a groan, puffing out one breath after the other as I rolled on the bed.A while later, the pain subsided. I guess it was due to the miscarriage I had that was making me have this much pain. I hadn't seen a doctor. Ethan didn't know I was pregnant, I wonder how he'd feel if he did.Perhaps, he'd kill me.I lay on the bed exhausted. My eyes glazed over as I stared at the ceiling.Almost immediately, I gasped and jerked a
Emily's POVI felt very disturbed after accepting to be monitored by three of Ethan’s bodyguards but I had no other choice as this was the only way I could leave that room."It's quite unusual and insensitive, and gives off the vibes of a little child who is being protected by an overprotective father," I muttered, tossing the pillow around.I heaved a breath standing up from the bed to access the room.I needed to find out what was happening with Alexander, Chad, Mary and my father. I couldn’t use the mind link here. Ethan would surely discover it and I wouldn't want to be a victim of his brutality the second time. I had to tread with caution to avoid being exposed by his lousy guards. I was certain they were listening to everything I was doing inside and any slight movement would land me into a dipshit.I trudged to the bathroom and quickly had my bath, dressed up and when I opened the door a few seconds later, my eyes stayed on three hefty soldiers.Glancing at each of them while
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.
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
