**Emily’s POV**A loud banging sound from a distance tore me out of the darkness called sleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was shocked to discover that my recently renovated room had once again been brought down to nothing but black ash.Nothing stood this time around, not even the door leading to the corridor. I gasped at the havoc I had wrecked and wondered when I had done it because I could not remember doing something like this.No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t seem to pinpoint when and how I had burnt down my room. At least I knew I screamed a lot before it happened but this time I couldn’t remember a thing.The vanity mirror which had survived it the first time caught my attention; but this time instead of standing royally like it used to, it now laid on the floor in a pile of molten gold which had hardened again to form nothing worthwhile, but gold all the same.The smell of burnt ruins filled my nostrils as I tried to get up and I began coughing violently as it almost s
**Emily’s POV**The initial shock about the relationship between Alexander and Rosie had worn off but even after hours of being told, I still couldn’t shake out the thoughts from my head.Chad had gone for his pack duties and even Mary who was around tried all she could to shake me out of the daze I had found myself in but I just couldn’t.The thought of Alexander being so much in love with Rosie in the past filled me with so much envy and dread. I dreaded the idea of those feelings being ignited and I was also jealous of what they must’ve shared.No wonder the lady held herself in such high regards. It’s because of the fact that she had known Alexander for quite a long time, and according to Chad, they’d known each other since high school.I immediately felt jealous about that fact, and jealous of her too but I immediately shook it off because it didn’t really matter anymore.She had already won by being pregnant for Alexander and regardless of what Beta Chad or any other person thin
Emily’s POV My head ached so much that I could literally feel it try to fall off my neck. It was so bad that I could feel tears slowly leak out of my eyes. I felt ill and feverish and could almost feel myself coming down with a fever. Another problem I encountered was the fact that whenever I tried to eat something, I threw it up but at the same time I wanted to eat everything in my way. I felt dizzy too and it wasn’t such a nice sensation. I didn’t know what I was coming down with but at the same time I knew it wasn’t something good. I thought about my father as well and about the weird dreams I have been having about him for a while now. I was conflicted, and sick, and tired and also worried. I wanted all of these challenges I was encountering to come to an end. I needed a way out of this mess. Alexander needed to know what was happening to me, needed to be told just so that a doctor could be alerted but I couldn’t bring myself to talk to him. After everything that has happe
Emily’s POV I stumbled out of the room feeling betrayed, I could feel hot tears leak out of my eyes in wild torrents, blurring my vision but I did nothing to stop myself. I could hear him desperately call out to me but I was too hurt and too blinded by my rage to pay attention to him. As soon as I walked out of his room, I bumped again into Rosie who had a smug smile plastered across her face and who made crooning sounds as soon as she saw me. “Now we know who the real Luna is.” She whispered slowly into my ear, so lowly that even Alexander wouldn’t hear her but I tried my hardest to ignore her. I felt my blood boil with rage, I felt that darkness in me that had been locked in for so long fighting to resurface, it clawed at my skin, burning beneath the surface but I ruined it in, refusing to let it rule over me. I had this irresistible urge to let it rain down on her face, let the flameless fire I always had locked in me burn her up like it always did to my room but I couldn’t a
Emily’s POV I felt a bit uncomfortable. In fact, I was extremely uncomfortable. I guess that was the best way to describe how I felt at the moment.I couldn’t figure out why Mary and Chad had been staring at me in a funny way ever since I woke up about an hour ago.It was beginning to get on my nerves!They even talked in hushed whispers and I could see them glancing at me every now and then. The most annoying part was how they had decided to be obvious that there was something up but still decided not to say a word about it to me.Ignoring them, I slowly walked into Mary’s kitchen to help myself to a cup of coffee but was immediately shrugged to the side by Mary who snatched the cup away from my hands.“What’s that for?!” I snapped, glaring at her as some of the coffee had spilled onto the countertop.“It’s not healthy for you.” She quickly said, and to prove her point, she opened the fridge, brought out a pack of iced tea and set it right in front of me.“Ice teas are better.” She
Emily’s POV Alexander sat there, staring and unmoving, thus making it difficult for me to walk away from him- as he was sitting close to the door, and also making it difficult for me to resume eating because he was watching me the whole time.I was quickly becoming uncomfortable, and I wouldn’t say I liked it one bit.“Alexander, please leave. I do not wish to talk to you or see you.” I resorted to whispering, hoping that it was what it took to change his mind.“Emily, you have to list—”“I do not want to listen!” I snapped. "What part of I do not want to talk to you, you don’t understand?”He looked pretty shocked at my outbursts but said nothing because I knew that deep down, he knew that it was his fault and that he was the reason we were like this in the first place.“Leave now because you’re making me so pissed; I really want to reject you,” I said carelessly, but as soon as the words escaped my lips, I immediately slapped my mouth closed.His eyes suddenly went dark with emoti
Emily’s POV I stood under the dark cloud, looking around frantically, only to discover that there was no one in sight and that I was in a dark alley. How did I get here?The chilly wind blew against my hair, ruffling it, and I spat out when some bits of my hair flew into my mouth.Goosebumps ran over the length of my skin like little rashes when I took in my surroundings and discovered that I was in that tunnel, that same dark tunnel that had been plaguing my dreams for a while now. The same one my father was kept hostage in.I was conflicted. I didn’t know whether to go on into the tunnel or to go back but the urge to see my father, even if it was for a few seconds, made me walk towards the dimly lit end.The unmistakable sound of thunder sounded a few meters away from where I was, and even though I was supposed to expect it- due to the slight drizzle- I still jumped in fright.I could feel my heart pounding wildly against my rib cage as I walked, but that was not enough reason to
Emily’s POV “No,” I answered in finality, but Mary wouldn’t have it. She was obviously trying too hard to impose her will on me. She wanted me to resolve my conflict with Alexander just so that I could involve him in this matter involving my dad and Prince Ethan, as well as seek his help. But I couldn’t do it; I couldn’t bring myself to, mainly due to the fact that I knew she wanted me to do this to get his help.“I can’t; it doesn't make any sense,” I replied.I didn’t particularly appreciate being used and wouldn’t like the idea of using someone too for my gain, and this plan she had right here says so.She wanted me to use him!Just as we were still arguing about involving Alexander in this situation, we heard the door opening, and almost immediately, Chad strutted in with Alexander behind him.They both had grim expressions, but as soon as my eyes met Alexander’s, our gazes locked, and he flashed me a small unsure smile. I didn’t return it.In something akin to envy, I watched C
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
