I Became An Alpha After Divorce My Dear Emma
Emma's POV“Shit! Shit! Shit!” All the drinks last night did me dirty as I slept off my alarm today. Since I took half a day's leave yesterday, I had to make up for it by taking today's morning shift. I thought the girls could use some rest so I agreed to this plan, I clearly did overestimate the influence of alcohol over me.I grabbed a slice of bread and chugged up a glass of milk, rushing outside to catch my bus. As I was making my way out, I saw a new car parked outside, and standing next to it were two men clad in suits. They had no expression on their face but their watchful eyes followed me. I ignored them as I did not have time to investigate this and made my way out of the complex. But then, I was stopped by the same two men, “Miss Whitemane.”“Yes?” I stopped to answer. They said, “I am Henry and he is Marcus. We work for the Alpha.”“Oh, him.” My expressions turned sour just by the mention of that man. I said, “What does he want now?”“Alpha wants to meet you. He asked us
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Moving houses
Emma's POV Draven watched as I signed the contract, I did not even read it because… what’s the point? He won't let me change a thing about it even if I don't like it.He secured the documents and locked them inside a briefcase, “Good. You can have the kids now.”“Where are they? Can I take them home with me now?” I asked. I was eager to meet my kids.Draven stood up and said, “They are not with me right now. They are with Robin.”“Oh.” I mused, “I can go and pick them up.”“No, need for that. We have something important to do before that.”“What?” The man picked up his jacket and car keys, “Come with me.”“Where?” Again, utter silence. Asking this man a question was like throwing a stone in the ocean. Completely useless! I rolled my eyes and followed him behind. We got into the elevator and he called his receptionist to inform her that he was heading out and canceled all his meetings for the day.We got into his car and the car set out in the city. None of us talked, he was starin
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Not a monster
Emma's POV “Come.” Draven said in a slow tone before getting out of the car.As soon as I entered the house, I was caught in awe. The bungalow was massive and handsomely decorated, everything about it screamed rich and lavish.“You like it?” He asked, making me break out of my fantasies.I said, “Yes, it’s nice but I am worried about the chandelier. We have kids in the house.”Draven looked at the gigantic glass chandelier hanging on the roof and grunted, “We will get it removed.”“Mommy! Daddy!” Ashel’s voice grabbed our attention and I saw her running toward me.“Baby.” I got on my knees to scoop her in a hug. Behind her, I saw Beta Robin and Asher coming our way.“Alpha. Miss Whitemane.” He greeted before handing some documents to Draven, “Everything is done, Alpha. All it requires is your sign.”“Hang on.” The man looked at us and asked, “Do you like the house?”“Yes.” Ashel was the first one to answer. Beta Robin had brought the kids earlier to give them a house tour and by her
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Lunch Date
Emma's POV The two of us stood there, gazing into each other’s eyes. I did not know what to do, my mind had stopped working and was pooling with so many questions.“Daddy. Mommy. Is everything alright?” He let go of my arm and distanced himself from me when we heard Ashel’s voice. She and her brother were standing at the stairs, looking at us with a complicated expression.Draven cleared his throat and I spoke up, “Yes, everything is alright.”“Are you sure? We heard you two fighting.” Asher said. Even though he maintained a straight face, he could not conceal the worry in his voice.I said, “Yes, darling. Daddy and I disagreed on something but it is alright now.”“Okay.” Ashel muttered but she did not look too convinced by us. I grew up watching my adopted parents fight, it used to put me in a lot of anxiety. I did not want to put my kids through that.I changed the topic, “I haven’t seen the house yet. How about you two give me a house tour?”Their spirits went from zero to hundred
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Anger, Hurt, Betrayal
Stella's POV “Mom… Thank you for coming back on such short notice.” I grabbed Sherra's hand and said in a teary voice. She caressed my hair and said, “Don't be silly. There is no way we won't come to help you when you have a problem.”I smiled until Desiree spoke up, “Girl, you should have told us this sooner that she is back. Why did you wait for so long?”I bit down on my lips. I was the one who invited Sherra and Desiree back to the pack and told them about Emma. They already knew that she was back but we were pretending to be oblivious because they did not want to drag me.I trust Draven, I do but for some reason… I feel like his heart is not in the right place now. If he seriously wanted to divorce Emma, he would have done it by now instead of dragging this case.Also, there were kids involved. They were enough to make him emotional.I said, “I did not want to cause trouble for my own selfish reasons.”“It's not selfish.” Sherra comforted me, “Draven is yours, she stole him from
I Became An Alpha After Divorce An Awkward Meal
Emma's POV I looked at Stella and then at Draven, neither of them looked as if they were happy about this. Draven pulled his lips together in a straight line and put down his phone. Stella walked up to us, her eyes were buried on the man in front of me.“Hello, Draven. Can I know what is happening here?” Stella stopped right next to the table and asked. She swam her eyes across me and the kids, “Out here to have lunch with the family, I see.”Draven opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but Stella spoke first, “Mind if I join? Thank you. Waiter… Can you bring me an extra chair, please?”The four of us sat there awkwardly until the staff brought a chair for her to sit.“Lovely.” She took the menu she was handed and said, “A T-bone steak with the side of mashed caulis, parmesan snap pea pasta, and sweet potato fries. Also, bring me some sorbet and tiramisu.” She handed back the menu and giggled, “What? Don’t look at me like that. I was on a diet trying to lose weight for
I Became An Alpha After Divorce What are your intentions?
Emma's POV “You don't know?” Alex clicked a few times on his phone before handing it over to me. Opened on the phone screen was a long discussion forum.“What is it?” I took the phone from him and looked at the post which was currently going viral on social media. My eyes spread open in surprise as I recognized this, it was from the banquet.Turns out someone secretly shot a video of my and Stella's argument in the ball and posted it online. The video was circulating around and captioned as “The rumors are true, Alpha Draven and Emma Whitemane are getting divorced.”Last time when I told the media that we were getting a divorce, Draven used his influence and made every single media house delete the footage. The news never came out so the netizens never got to know that we were in the process of separating. But now, it was different!The cat was out of the bag and everyone was talking about it. Even if Draven wanted, he wouldn't be able to shut down the news this time.I scrolled thro

I was excited to try it with my kids and talk to them about their day.I walked in on the door to see the whole house engulfed in a strange atmosphere. The housekeepers were eerily quiet as they did their work and looked as if they were under some pressure.I removed my bag and kept it on the floor, asking, “Hey, what is wrong? Why do you all look so weird?”Jada, who was busy changing the tablecloth, shivered visibly when I spoke up. “Miss Whitemane…” She spoke softly, a mask of fear in her face.I furrowed, seeing her change the tablecloth. I asked, “What are you doing? Why are you tidying up the table out of the blue? And where did you get that tablecloth from, don't remember buying it.”“Because I asked her to.” Draven spoke up from behind me, scaring the literal hell ou
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Are you a bad guy

My breathing was turning hot and even my wolf was reacting strangely to his scent.I was not aroused but something was making it hard for me to sit straight.Was I… nervous?I was so lost in thought that I missed everything that he explained. Xavier asked what I wanted to eat and was waiting for my answer which, obviously, he didn't get because I was lost in thoughts.Seeing that I was replying, he looked back and asked, “Are you okay, doll?”I shook from my fantasies and nodded, “I am sorry, I was thinking something.Xavier smirked cheekily as if he had read my thoughts and said, “No problem. I can go over all this again if you want.”“No. I don't want you to waste any more of your time.” I took the menu from his hand and admitted defeat, “Can you just suggest me beginner-friendly dishes?”“Umm… I don't know your tast

Xavier and I watched as the car departed from the parking lot. “They are nice. No wonder you said you liked working.” The man commented.I nodded with a smile, “They are the only people in this pack who actually treat me with respect. For others, my existence is not even worth acknowledging.”“What are you saying? I heard you did a lot of things for the pack. You even solved some rogue issue.”“Yeah, I did.” I said, “It was just a two-day pomp and joy. After the sand settled, I was back to being the plain, old, wolfless girl hated by the entire pack.”Xavier did not say anything about the fact that I was wolfless. So I asked, “You have nothing to say?”“About what?”“Me being wolfless.”“I don't care about it.” He said, “You are better than many wolves I know.”I smiled to conceal my self-pity, “That is what I tell myself to.” Neither of us was d

I had no idea that Xavier had bought Florence, but I wasn't surprised; he had already mentioned that he was here to expand his business. What better way to expand your business than by buying the largest commercial hub of the pack?The words that XS bought the bar quickly spread amongst the group and it caused a whole other set of arguments.“Ain’t no way he is Xavier Stone!”“He could be.

I Became An Alpha After Divorce Your boss won't like it
Emma's POVThe security guard did not answer our question but it was quite loud by his expressions that it was the case. My eyebrows knit themselves together, “This is ridiculous. We are coming back from work, we don't have time to put on something fancy for a bar.”“That sounds like a ‘you’ problem. I have seen plenty like you; you get your sugar daddy to get you the membership and walk in with your poor etiquette, corrupting the whole environment.”“Mister, watch your tone.” Sonia stepped in to defend me, “You can't just bad mouth us by assuming random things.”“I am assuming?” The guard laughed, “Florence is not a place everyone can hang out in. Just look around, this is not the place you belong.”I said, “We might not have money to squander on fancy dresses like this, but it doesn't mean that we don't fit in here, or you can stop us from entering.”“Yes, the only thing that we need to enter is the membership and we have that right here.” Sonia added.The guard, however, refused to

Of course, he is rich.”Sonia grinned, “What is his name? Is he single? Is he looking for a date?”I nodded, “He is single but I don't know if he is looking for a date.”“Oh, no worries. I would just like to know him.” She waved her hand, “What does he do?”“He is a businessman. He is currently in our pack to open a new branch here.”“Wow, he sounds super rich.”I shrugged my shoulders, “You can say that.”Sonia said, “I am intrigued.
