**Emily’s POV**My butt ached incredibly. The cold floor on which I sat felt like several tiny needles prickling into my skin. It made me shift from one butt cheek to the other, desperately looking for a seemingly comfortable position.I couldn’t move or speak, there was a dirty rag placed tightly against my mouth as a gag to prevent me from speaking. I wanted to spit it out or take it off but I could not.I instinctively looked down at my hands, at the silver cuffs connected to thick chains that were holding me down and I sighed dejectedly.I was tired of this.Tired of getting abducted week after week by enemies I had gotten for myself simply because I was an Alpha’s mate.Tired of Sophia and all of Alexander’s enemies.I wish they could take him instead of him. He was the one who offended them, so they ought to have a face-off with him and not me.Wasn't it how it should be? However, I was the one receiving the punishment for his offence.From a distance, I heard the loud chuckling
**Emily’s POV**I woke up feeling refreshed. I sighed rolling on my back and smiled broadly when I noticed Alexander sleeping peacefully beside me with his soft snores resounding around the room.I took the duvet off his naked torso and pressed butterfly kisses down his chest until I was stopped abruptly by his voice thick with sleep.“What’re you doing baby?” He groaned softly, holding my head in place by pressing firmly against it with one of his hands.“Saying good morning in my special way,” I replied with a smile.I immediately shrugged off his hold on my head and proceeded to slowly take off his boxer shorts. I gasped in satisfaction when I saw his erection, it was big and throbbing, waiting for me.I took it in my hands, caressing it slowly, until a thick warm muck formed at the tip of it, spilling over, and ran down its length.I smiled, looking him dead in the eye, and when he was about to say something, I immediately took him into my mouth, with my eyes never wavering from h
**Alexander’s POV**I sat unmoving on my office chair, blinking and unblinking severally in disbelief at Chad who was sitting right in front of me with a smile on his face.He looked different though, it was obvious that Mary’s death had done something to him, but the fact that he was out of his room, and not behaving wild as he should have stunned me.“How..?” I whispered, staring at him in disbelief.Chad shrugged and flashed me a small smile.“I still do not know either.” he replied, “I think I missed riling you up, it quickened my recovery process.”I missed him. Fúcking missed him. Dimitri’s services could never be compared to Chad’s. I was already beginning to go crazy at the prospect of working with Dimitri and I was insanely overjoyed that he was right in front of me, looking healthy.Someone knocked loudly on my office door and from where I sat, I could already smell the person. It was Dimitri.Speak of the devil.“Come on in,” I said, and almost immediately he walked in with
**Ethan’s POV**My heartbeat raced against my ribcage as I slowly stepped out of my car and walked up the rest of the driveway. I was on a trip to Dark Moon’s Pack, and the idea that this used to be Emily’s pack while she was still alive filled me with a kind of uncomfortable rage.I suddenly loathed myself for agreeing to abduct her in the first place but hated Sophia more for murdering her in cold blood.I walked slowly past the guards into the large corridor leading to the palace while I desperately ignored the rants from Kurt, my wolf.Upon arrival at the big house, I sat down on one of the plush sofas while I waited for Alpha Alexander to walk in.“Hey, Prince Hemsworth!” I heard someone from behind me yell.Turning to look in the direction of the voice, I was shocked to see that it was Alpha Alexander, who was bouncing towards me with a grin on his face.“It’s a pleasure to have you here!” Alpha Alexander exclaimed excitedly immediately as he waltzed into the room and sat on hi
**Ethan’s POV** I fidgeted slightly as I stood in front of my father whose dark eyes held no expression in them. Funny enough, he didn’t look pissed that I had walked into his privacy. In fact, he didn’t even look bothered at all. “What were you doing in there?” He asked again. He had this look in his eyes that bordered towards mischief, and it held me still and made me a tad confused. “I came to clear my head,” I replied quickly, avoiding his gaze. Even though he was my father, I was somewhat scared of him. He murmured but I couldn't pick a word he said. It sounded like he had bought my excuse, and I was glad that he did. “Do you have a few more minutes to spare?” He asked, making me stare up at him. I was startled. My father asked me such. Most times, I felt he was too busy for me and he didn't really care if I existed or not. He was only bothered about his Alpha business. “Yes, I do,” I answered, a little too quickly that it made him raise his eyebrows at me. I knew he h
**Emily’s POV** I rolled off the massive bed with a shy smile on my face as I recollected the events of the last night. I glanced around the room, scrutinizing my environment and sighed when I didn’t notice any trace of Alexander around. He had woken up fast and left as usual. Not feeling even the slightest bit pissed, I discarded my nightie and walked into the ginormous bathroom. In a few minutes, I had my bath and dressed up in loose-fitting pink dungarees, styled my hair into a high ponytail and munched on the Buttermilk Pancakes topped with Fresh Sliced Strawberries that had been fancifully left on the table beside my bed. As soon as I was done eating the delicious food, I decided to pay a visit to Malcolm. It had been a while and I missed going to the open field. Also, I missed him even though we bicker most of the time. Besides, I was bored and I knew that training with Malcolm was the only place I could actually channel most of my energy into doing something actually p
Alexander’s POVToday was another hectic day.But, it wouldn't be the first time I was experiencing such. I have been having a series of hectic days ever since I became alpha.And to worsen matters, it has been getting worse since the past few weeks, before and after Emily's arrival.I still had challenges with rogue werewolves.Although they had stopped abducting and killing my soldiers after the warning from last time, this time they had resorted to poisoning my fields, and killing my crops.Thereby making the demand for food in my clan increase, but its supply decreases.It was becoming quite frustrating.The door to my office burst open, revealing Emily in all of her glory, clad in a beautiful pink dungaree that was presently drenched in blood. I furrowed my brows and stood abruptly, rushing to her side.“What—” I was about to ask her what had happened to her when the foul-smelling stench of vampiric blood filled my nose, almost making me throw up.“Emily?” I asked, cocking my ey
**Alexander’s POV**I sat behind my office’s desk surfing through some files I needed in acquiring a property while Dimitri and Chad sat in front of me bickering over some irrelevant issue.As usual, I paid no attention to them because I knew they were always like this.A few minutes into their argument, a knock sounded at my door.Chad and Dimitri stopped talking and stared towards the door.“Come in,” I said gruffly, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration.I was exhausted. I could also feel a headache brewing.“Good morning, Alpha.” Dr Patrick said as he stepped inside.I furrowed my brows at him. It was his first time coming into my office without telling him to. It was weird but somehow I didn't think it was a friendly visit.“Good morning, Patrick. Please sit.” I replied curtly, hiding my surprise.As soon as I asked him to, he sat, throwing an anxious look my way.“Thank you.” He mumbled.I could hear Dimitri and Chad make sarcastic comments as to what might have made Dr.
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
