Emma's POV

One month later…

"Hey, you. Wake up." The prison warden poked me with her stick. While it may look like she was trying to wake me up, in reality, this is how they check if the prisoner is alive or not.

I parted my eyes open and looked at her.

She said in her usual irritated tone, "It is not the time to sleep. You are in prison, not some holiday resort where you can sleep whenever you want."

"I am sorry. I was just tired." I stood up from my ice-cold iron bed with no pillow or quilt.

"Don't let me catch you sleeping again." The warden warned me before walking off.

As soon as she left, I sat back on the bed and clutched my head. I was seven weeks pregnant now and the baby was not helping me much with my health. I was sick all the time and noticed a significant fall in my weight.

After the day I was arrested from the hospital, I was thrown into the pack dungeons while the investigation was still going on.

No one was aware that I was pregnant and I don't think they w

Natalie stepped aside and handed the receiver to Alex. I asked, "Alex, what is she saying?"The man let out a deep sigh and said, "It's true, Emma. Since Stella was supposed to be the Luna of this pack, you are accused of attempting to murder her and threatening the Pack's safety.I clenched my fist; threatening the Pack's safety was the biggest treason but the most they could do was banish me. I said, "I didn't even do it! Why are they doing this to me?""I don't know but someone is pulling strings behind the scenes." Alexander said, hinting at something far more sinister than it was.My face turned pale like that of a ghost, I asked, "Who… Who could it be?"Alexander seemed conflicted about revealing it to me.

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The final verdict

    Emma's POVI stumbled on the corridor as I ran out of the cabin, never in a million years did I expect this from Draven. All the respect I had for him fell down to the depths of Hell.I ran inside my cell and closed it, the four walls which gave me nightmares for the past few weeks were now the only place where I felt safe. My face was wet with sweat and I had strands of hair sticking on it. I looked like a mess, like someone who had just managed to save herself from the clutches of Satan himself.Once I was alone in the cell, I broke down in tears. I covered my face and let myself wither down. This heartbreak was too much for me to bear…All this year of love, sacrifice, and dedication only to be stooped down to the level of being his whore.Before he said those cruel words, I was actually constructing a sentence within my mind to tell him the truth. Tell him that I was pregnant with his child.But now… It did not matter! A man who doesn't even see me with respect, won't ever accept

Amongst them was a young woman in fashionable clothes, holding a bag and pushing a trolley.I removed my sunglasses and took in a deep breath; everything about this pack felt the same as it did six years ago. "Mom! Brother stole my candy." I was about to walk out of the terminal when I heard a meek little voice complain. I turned my head to see my twins tugging on a piece of candy.Six years ago, after that accident, I lost all hopes of surviving.

Thanks to them, not only did I recover despite being severely injured, but even my baby was safe.After I recovered, I did not know where to go or what to do. I certainly cannot go back to the pack knowing that there was someone out there trying to kill me. Unable to think of anythin

    Emma's POVI said, "Don't talk about him, especially in front of the kids.""Emma, are you serious right now? You are in his pack, there is no way you can keep lying to the kids anymore." Alexander said.I looked at my kids who were fast asleep; they didn't know who their father was.When they were born, I did not stress myself. I knew there would be a point where they would ask me about him and I was sure I would have a well-constructed story by then. But to my surprise, they asked me the question sooner than expected. I could not tell them that their father did not want us, it would shatter my kids in the same way it shattered me. So, I told them that their father was dead.I know it is cruel but I have to protect my children.I muttered, "I won't ever let Draven get his hands on my kids. It's just a matter of a week; once I am done with my work, I will go back and never return.""I hope everything finishes smoothly." Natalie chimed."Here we are…" Alexander parked the car in the p

I was a taboo who was long forgotten, but now when the reporter was suddenly digging up my name, people were visibly horrified.I turned sideways to address Alex, "This was you, wasn't it?"The man giggled and said, "We have to set the right kind of atmosphere for your big entry."I shook my head, this was way too dramatic but I wasn't complaining.Alpha Draven's eyes turned colder and colder like the air around him. Even though we were far behind downstage, we could still feel the chilly aura he was emitting.Stella clenched her fist, and she lunged to grab his mic to say something but Draven spoke first, "What about her?"My head bogged itself up to look at him, I did not expect him to respond to the question.The reporter corrected his glasses and asked, "Alpha, as you know, Miss Whitemane died six years ago during

I sneaked a glance at the Alpha who was still near the mic stand. He wasn't making a single sound but there was obvious confusion and disbelief on his face. I smirked to myself, that was what I wanted.I went to the assassin and signaled at the guards to loosen her.I said, "This is Rosary Flint, a small-time rogue assassin. She is the real culprit.""Is this… true? Are you the one who stabbed me that night?" Stella fell back a few steps and landed in Draven's arms. When Rosary was silent even after all this, Draven finally stepped in. In his authoritative Alpha tone, he asked, "She is asking you something. Did you do it?"Rosary shivered a little by his intimidating tone, I knew that my work was done here. I crossed my arms and joined Alex and Natalie at the corner."Answer at once." Alpha Draven

Desiree tilted her head, an infuriating smile playing on her lips, “What does it look like? I mean, why do people even come to Hawaii? I am here for a mini vacation.” “I thought I made it very clear—no one leaves the pack.” Draven said, his voice dropping to a dangerous tone.Desiree shrugged nonchalantly, “Oh, I saw your little decree, Alpha. I just chose to ignore it.” I glanced at Draven, his jaw clenched

    Emma's POVThe security room was a cramped, dimly lit space filled with monitors and buzzing equipment. The owner fumbled with the controls, his hands shaking as he brought up the footage from the day of the kidnapping. I stood to the side, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as I watched the grainy footage play out on the screens. Her mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions—fear, hope, anger, and an overwhelming gratitude for Draven. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye. He stood tall and unyielding, his sharp features illuminated by the flickering screens. There was something about him that made me feel safe, even in the face of the chaos surrounding us. “Here.” Draven said, pointing to one of the screens. The footage showed the children playing near the entrance of the restaurant, their laughter faint but audible. The grainy footage played on repeat, the flickering image of Asher and Ashel being dragged away at gunpoint seared into my mind. Three men—faceless, thei

We don't even have your son, Alpha.” The man said.“Where is he? How can I get him back?”“No idea.” He shrugged, “Maybe the group who has your son has a second task for you.”Draven was silent for a while, staring blankly at the screen. We could feel the tension well up in the room as his gaze intensified. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle confusing everyone.He let out a cold laughter before stopping abruptly, “The day I find you, I will wipe out your entire clan.”The man grunted before saying, “We will see about that. As for now, come get your kid.”The line went silent, indicating that the call was hung up.Draven stood up and came out of the room, I rushed to him immediately. Even though I heard everything, I was still in denial that our situation was so messed up. I asked him, “How is everything? You will get the kids b

    Emma's POVDraven's phone beeped, notifying him of an incoming message. He checked it and the expression on his face told me that it was from those men. He said, “Okay, I will go now.”The Alpha played smart here and decided to attend the video call from the investigation room. Not only was there a camera to record everything, even we could watch everything unfold through the one way mirror. Before the call, Draven made sure to alter the investigation room to look more like a hotel room. He did not want the kidnappers to get the hint that we were already in talks with the cops.I was shivering involuntarily watching all of this unfold, and Alex was always there to tell me that it was alright and that we would find the kids. I didn't even have the strength in me to respond to him, all I did was nod mindlessly while my eyes were hooked on Draven.He sat down on the chair and opened the laptop in front of him. His fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a symphony out of the clicking

    Emma's POVThe tension in the air was suffocating as I paced the small room, my heart racing in sync with my restless thoughts. The kids…Draven…The pack…Everything was in shambles, all because of me. I looked at Draven, he had been silent since the call was hung up. It was worrying me more and more. I have always seen him as a man who was clear about his next move, it was my first time seeing him so clueless. It was haunting me.Alex stood by my side protectively, even though he was bleeding he refused to leave me alone. I know he was blaming himself deep down as well. Just then I saw Robin walk into the room, his pace as brisk as always.“Alpha!” He greeted Draven who was silently staring at his phone.The man nodded his head in acknowledgment and asked, “Do we have anything?”Robin nodded and said, “They were smart and kept their IP bouncing but we managed to find their location. They are in the forest near the pack.”My eyes widened, a flicker of hope piercing through the dark

It was as if he was challenging me.Before I could say anything, Emma spoke up in her meek voice, “Let's not do this here…”I gave Alex a scornful look before asking Emma why she did not heed my order and come back to the pack. The Emma I have known for so long was not this irresponsible and definitely not someone who would put our kids at risk. I was desperate to know what changed.“I did not know it was serious.”Did not think it was serious? I did not know how to react to it.

    Draven's POVThe sound of the private jet’s engines faded as I descended the steps onto the Hawaiian tarmac, my strides purposeful and my mind consumed with worry. I didn't even have the time to properly pack or prepare. The moment I got to know that the children were missing, everything else had ceased to matter. Emma. The kids. My entire focus was on finding them and bringing them home. The sun blazed overhead, its warmth doing nothing to thaw the ice in my veins. As I approached the sleek black SUV waiting to take me to Emma’s resort from where the kids had vanished, Robin jogged up beside me. His phone was in his hand and his serious face was grim. "I just got the word." Robin said, falling into step, “Miss Whitemane has been arrested."I froze as his words didn’t register at first, "What did you just say?""Arrested.” Robin repeated, "Apparently, she caused a scene trying to find the kids. Police didn’t take kindly to it."My jaw tightened, the veins in my neck throbbing. A

This matter seemed to require my urgent attention, so I hung up on the call and looked at him, “What happened!”The scout caught his breath and said, “We have new intel about the Rogues.”My eyebrows furrowed themselves and my ears perked up. It was never good news when it was about the Rogues.“They are rallying up into an organized force this time, not the usual scatterbrained attacks. Worse, they have a new benefactor, someone powerful enough to pull their strings.”“What?” Robin was shook. Someone was helping the Rogues? Why would anyone want to help those sinister, good for nothing?I inquired, “Are we positive?”“Yes. We are positive.” The scout, “Whatever they are planning, it is huge.”The implications were clear: danger wasn’t lurking in the shadows anymore; it was at the gates.I didn’
