**Alexander’s POV**

“Sophia, get the fúck out of my office before I call in security!” I yelled, making her halt immediately.

“You would call security on me?” She asked incredulously, her eyes glazing over with unshed tears.

“Yes, I will,” I said simply, watching her face fall.

She hastily stood up, her face downcast as she threw her garments on. Just when I thought she would walk out of my office, she sat back down on the chair she once occupied.

I made a mental note to change as soon as I could because there was no way I was sitting down there. Who knows, she might have infected it with something.

“Why are you doing this?” She asked suddenly, snapping me out of my train of thought.

"Because of her? Because of Emily? That slave?”

At the mention of the word ‘slave’ my blood boiled in anger.

“She isn’t a slave,” I growled, my voice sounding foreign even to my ears. “Emily is not a slave and has never been one. She’s even of nobler blood than you are, so get out!” I yelled. I noticed

    **Emily’s POV** I silently noticed how the smile on Alexander’s face fell but I didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, I tapped on his shoulders lightly to bring him back to the question I asked. “Did you do it to protect her?” I asked, looking up at his handsome face which now looked creased with worry. My heart throbbed as I anticipated his answer. I wondered if he did it to protect her because it seemed he would always be involved with Sophia even though we were mated. Also, I didn't want to ask about what she was doing in the room earlier. It might turn into an argument and that was the last thing I needed. Moreover, he didn't look as though he was happy to see her. “I did it to protect you.” He finally said, cradling my face in his hands. “And how’s that protecting me?” I furrowed my brows. He had literally ignored all that I said and made me look stupid in front of everyone but he called it protection. “How was I protected when the person who tried to kill me is still

    **Emily’s POV**I stood with both of my hands planted firmly on my waist as I watched Alexander dress up in an elegant grey-coloured three-piece suit that matched the colour of his deep-set eyes.His hair was slicked back and the urge to run my hands in it filled me.I licked my bottom as I stared down at him, and then I glanced up again at his angular face to see he was watching me.Fúck, he was perfect and I doubted he knew that yet.A smile lifted his bottom lip and he winked at me.My heart thumped and I literally swooned at the gesture.He knew how to get me. Alexander knew he only had to do a little thing to get me putty in his hands.I didn't mind him knowing because I loved him.I did and I couldn't tell when it started. I guessed it was the first time seeing him the feeling had developed in me and I had tried to brush it off after he committed several atrocities.Now, we were on the same page. I didn't think anything was holding me back to let my feelings known to him.Maybe,

    **Emily’s POV** I parted my heavy eyelids slowly, and let out a wince as a jolt of pain shot through my body while I regained consciousness. I tried to sit up ignoring the discomfort around my neck region but laid back down almost immediately when I felt this splitting headache around my temple. "Shít." I let out a grunt and lay still on the cold floor. I shut my eyes for a while, trying so hard to adjust to the pain because I doubted if it was going away anytime soon. A few seconds later, the headache subsided and I was able to open my eyes. I observed my environment slowly and frowned but I could barely see anything. I believed I was in some sort of dark room and the only thing I could make out was the damp smell which signified I was in a cave of some sort. And that of algae, I crinkled my nose as vomit surged up my throat but I pushed it out. “Where am I?” I wondered aloud, holding my pounding head with my hands as if to keep it steady on my neck. No one would answer me,

    **Alexander’s POV**Walking through the narrow hallway, I decided to check up on Emily. Some hours ago, she had been restless and barely let me have a break as she kept on trying to know where I was.“Emily, you’ve suddenly stopped checking up on me,” I murmured with a laugh.But, I was met with silence.It was odd. However, I shrugged it off.Thinking she had probably gone to sleep, I let it drop while attending to my soldiers who were kidnapped by the rogues.Surprisingly they all survived. A few were injured but the abductors were sane enough to know that I would hunt them down if something happened to them.I believed they all knew how vicious I could be but that didn't stop them from terrorizing my pack members.The urge to find everyone involved filled me, but I stopped myself. Going after some rogues could be dangerous. If it was only one, I could take him down but many of them that might have come together to form a mini pack- although they didn't call it pack because they wer

    **Emily’s POV**I woke up to the feeling of air whooshing through my hair and against my face. I opened my eyes slowly only to realize that I was hanging upside down on someone’s shoulders. And the so-called person was walking along a rocky path."What the hell?!" I yelped, attempting to sit upright.But, it was futile. Instead, she went on walking and pretended as though she didn't hear my scream."Let me go!" I tried ago and luckily she heard me.She lowered me to the floor and I let out a grunt while trying to steady myself.My head reeled from having stayed in an upside-down position for a long time and I shut my eyes to get back my bearings.“Mary!” I said, rather annoyedly as my eyes collided with hers. For some second, I had assumed I was getting abducted and forgot I was with her before I slept off."You frightened me.” I glared, placing my hand on my still beating heart.“I noticed.” She replied with a small smile tugging at her lips.Mary looked at me intently for a short w

    **Alexander’s POV**I sat unmoving on a side stool beside the bed Emily lay on, holding her cold hands in mine as I prayed to the moon goddess to keep her safe.I didn't know what had been done to her, but she didn't look like herself. She wasn't my Emily.The woman I left all happy in the house, my beautiful mate.Shít.Emily was my mate. Of course, I knew that and had failed to admit it for long until now.Seeing her this vulnerable made me feel guilty because I was partly at fault. I had let her be in harm's way and didn't do much about protecting her.Fuck, I was a terrible mate and I hope she wouldn't hold it against me.Staring at her face once again, I grimaced. She looked battered, mistreated, dirty, and even way worse than she was when I brought her in from the auction house.Dr Patrick said she had been beaten with silver, and starved. Also, he presumed her abductors had used black magic on her.The thought of her going through all those forms of torture made my blood boil.

    **Sophia’s POV**“How the hell did it happen?” Prince Ethan growled at the rogues who stood staring at him.Each shook their head not knowing what to say.“I just asked a simple question, didn’t I? How the hell did she escape!” He barked again, his eyes turning golden.“We don’t know, she simply disappeared.” The one with the stinky breath who happened to be the leader said slowly, looking between Ethan and his boys.“Are you even listening to the crap you just said? How the hell does someone simply disappear under your—”“I think she was helped.” I chimed in.He turned to glare at me, showing that he was displeased by my unruly interruption.I shrugged my shoulders slightly, gazing away.“What do you mean by ‘She was helped’?” He asked, turning to look at me with dark fearsome eyes.“I feel she was because the door to her cage was still locked by the time I got there…?” I answered, cocking my eyebrows at the man with bad breath.“Gilbert.” He offered with a slight bow.“Yes, Gilbert

    **Sophia’s POV**“Who is Mary?” Prince Ethan growled into the phone.I flinched back in fear, forgetting that his voice had sounded through the phone and that he wasn’t right in front of me.“Mary? I do not know of any Mary.” I replied.I tried wracking my brain if I had ever encountered anyone with such a name, but I couldn't remember.Yet, I knew there were a lot of people called Mary and I doubted I knew who exactly he was referring to.“You mean you do not know any Mary who is a member of your pack?!” He barked. “How nonchalant can you be not to know that?!”“We have over twenty thousand people in my pack, there’s no way I’d know all of them,” I replied with an eye roll.“Mary, she is your fúcking Beta’s wife!” He snapped.Shit, that witch I sometimes see with Emily. What does he want with her?“Yes I know her, what about her?” I asked.“She’s an Etheredylan, she helped Emily escape.”“She’s a what?” I asked, creasing my brows.

    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

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

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

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

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
