Emma's POV

The room was dead silent as if we were at some funeral and not at the pack house. Even though none of us spoke, we could sense the tension pooling in the room.

Sitting on his seat was Draven, his handsome attire which was carefully ironed to perfection was now a mess. He did not have much injury on his face but the mask of anger on his face was enough to make him look dangerous.

While on the other hand was Alexander. He was currently sitting on the couch with an ice pack pressed against his chin. The nurse bandaged the wound on his forehead and now it had stopped bleeding.

The two men refused to speak and this made me and Roger exchange glances.

The two were fighting like maniacs and would have let each other's wolf tear the other one apart if not for Roger intervening. The Beta too had sustained a lot of injuries but he had no time to look at those.

I still could not understand why the fight even took place. It was extremely childish of them and something none of us expect

She panicked and called me immediately.She was relieved to know that the kids were safe but equally sickened by Draven's actions."Has the Alpha lost his mind?" He said, "I am calling Roger right now.""Don't do that." I said. Roger was Natalie's half-brother. Their father married Natalie's mother when Roger's mother got bedridden after an accident. Roger did not like how his father abandoned him and his mother but he never blamed Natalie's mother for it. He just cut himself off from the family and hardly contacted them.Natalie called down and hung up, we decided to meet at my house later. I dropped Alex back at his house and said, "Take rest, first. Do you need me to buy you anything?""No." He said, "You drive home safe.""Okay. If you need anything, call me."Alex lived just ten minutes away from me and since it was s

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Meeting the kids

    Draven's POVI have always heard about people 'losing it' but I got to experience it firsthand today. When I saw Alexander near Emma, I experienced a turbulence of emotions I never knew existed.I was not the kind of man who would ever reduce myself to choosing physical violence over petty things, but today I did.I wanted to break his jaw for even taking her name. You can estimate the blood boiling within my veins when I saw him touch her.That asshole would have been dead if not for Emma and Roger stopping us. I hardly got a scratch while he was bleeding but did it make me feel better? No, it did not!I raised my eyes to steal glances at Emma every now and then and found her either talking to him or looking at him with concern.Those eyes…She used to look at me with that same damn look every time I came back home injured from war. I thought she only had that kind of care for me. Why was she looking at another man like that?My chest was starting to tighten with anger. Even Knox w

    Draven's POVI was waiting outside of the room with Asher, this was the first time when I saw the kid worried. I asked, "Does she have a medical history?""No, but she has a weak immune system. She was born weak and had to be kept under observation for a whole week." He said, looking at the closed door of her room with impatience. "It's okay, she will be alright." I tried to pull him in a hug but he warned me against it, "Don't even think about it.""Sorry." And with that, we went back to being strangers again.The doctor came out of the room only to repeat what Asher had told me. I asked, "Is there any way to treat this permanently?""I am afraid not, Alpha. She can always eat healthy and increase her immunity but curing it completely is not possible.""Okay, thank you."He left a few antibiotics before leaving and I went in to check on her with Asher. She was lying down all alone on the king-sized bed, looking petite wrapped in a gigantic blanket. The nanny was trying to feed her t

We already called the doctor, there is nothing to worry about."I looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?"Draven put his hands inside his pocket and said, "Ashel was missing you. She wanted to meet you so I brought them here.""What is taking so long?" Natalie came out, grabbing her stomach. She was being casual thinking that it was just the delivery guy but when she saw Draven standing at the door, she immediately straightened up like an army soldier. "Alpha!" She greeted him respectfully."What are you doing here?" He asked her.She said, "I just came here to eat dinner with Emma, Alpha. "Is your father aware of this little plan?""I… No! It's best if he doesn't find out." She said, forcing a smile. "Mmm. Then leave as soon as you are done with dinner.""Yes, Alpha." The kids followed Natalie inside and once they were gone, I a

Me and Natalie looked at each other in confusion.The man kept the bowl down and wiped the corner of his lips with the tissue like a gentleman. Asher smirked, “Looks like the Alpha loved it.”“Yes, it was alright.”“Don’t lie, Alpha. You were only supposed to take a bite but did not even leave any for mommy.” He highlightedDraven looked at me as soon as the kid’s words fell. Our eyes met and my cheeks started to burn; I turned my gaze towards Asher and said, “Shush, eat your food.”“But, mommy. That was ‘your’ bowl of Ramen. What are you going to do now?”“It’s ok.

I did not know what I was supposed to be more concerned about, Ashel’s attachment to her father or the Alpha listening to the little girl without an objection.This bond was terrifying!“Okay, let’s get you both changed.” Draven took the kids to the room and I followed them. The Alpha stopped at the door and turned around, “Where do you think you are going?”“...” I looked at him confused and said, “To the kids.”“No need.” He objected sternly, “There is only one bed.”“So?”“So I will be occupying it.”“What is that supposed to mean? Where do you think I am supposed to sleep?” I inquired.“Anywhere. Do I look like I care?” He said“Draven, don’t be ridiculous. This is my house.”“And this is my pack. I can do whatever I want.” He took a step towards me, intimidating me with his Alpha aura. I glared at him and pulled my lips in a straight line. Right now, I am deeply condemning the werewolf system. Why can’t we choo

No.Was I seriously interested in sleeping with the kids?No.I just wanted to be petty.I did not bring a change of clothes, thank goodness I did not leave the house in formal clothes and opted for sweatpants and t-shirts. They were not the best but it was just a matter of one night.I lay down on the bed and scrolled through my emails to find out about my schedule for tomorrow. Out of nowhere, Asher said, "Can you turn off your phone?""Why?" I looked down at the guy lying down next to me.He said, "It is disturbing my sleep.""..." The phone was at the lowest brightness and it wasn't even directed at him.

Of course, I did not stare at him for too long and diverted my eyes. I said, “Since when did you start smoking so much?”“None of your business.”I took a deep breath and told myself that it was useless to try to have a normal conversation. In fact, why was I even trying to have a normal conversation with him?"Suit yourself." I shrugged my shoulders helplessly and turned around to go back to the couch.Draven spoke up, "You must be upset about the kids.""What do you mean?" I asked.He said, "You did not even want them to know about my existence but now not only they like me, they are going to be with me forever. It must be bothering you."I smirked, "Why does this matter to you?

Even though they adopted me and let me live with them, I was still an outsider.”“I am sorry you had to go through that.”“No no! Why are you sorry?

He walked up to my side and opened the car door, silently asking me to step out.I crossed my arms and turned away, “No. I am good.”“You haven't eaten anything since afternoon.”“I am not hungry.”I heard his wolf groan in frustration but there was no expression on Draven's face. He was calm as usual.Just when I thought that he had given up, he swiftly unbuckled my seatbelt and picked me up in his arms again. Before I could even realize it, I was dangling over his shoulder and watching him carry me inside.“Draven, you creep! Put me down.” He turned a deaf ear against my protest and carried me inside the cafe. We were inside now and the weird way he was carrying me attracted everyone’s attention. The guests stopped what they were doing and stared at us in confusion.“Alpha?” One of the customers asked, “Is everything alright?”“Yes.” He replied, “My wife is just upset.

    Emma's POVThe empty street was flooding white by the petite snowflakes and the temperature was dropping drastically. I was wearing a simple sweater and it did not prove to be very helpful in keeping me warm. In no time, I was standing on the street, covered in snow and shivering.Fifteen minutes passed by, and I still had not managed to find a cab for myself. They were just mercilessly driving past me, not even caring that I was all alone and freezing.“Hey stop! Please! Asshole!” I cursed at the fifth cab which drove past me.My fingers were numb at this point and I needed warmth. Even rubbing them together or keeping them under my arm wasn't helping me much.I turned around to look at the pack house, how badly I wished to run inside and take cover but my ego would rather make me collapse than ask for help. The snow seemed to be messing with the network reception, neither was I able to access the internet to book a cab or call anyone to come pick me up.I was truly stuck…There was

    Emma's POVDraven and I continued with our work, even though we were in the same cabin, we did not talk. He was busy with his phone call meetings and I was busy with my head buried in the documents. He had just gotten off a phone call and had just kept his phone down. I asked, “Is everything sorted?”“Yes.” He nodded, “Everything is smooth so far. The extra reinforcement we are sending to the borders will reach there on time. I think everything is pretty much good. What about you?”“Just a few more documents and I am done too.”Draven nodded and leaned back on his chair, “Thank you for helping me out. I could not have done it without you.”I blushed; it felt good to have been praised by the almighty Alpha himself, who cherished his words like gold.In the past few days, while observing Draven and his work from a close proximity, I could not help but feel pity. Even when preparing for the festival, he had to go out every now and then to take care of his last minute Alpha duties. Even

    Emma's POVA week passed by and I have no idea if Alexandr talked to Desiree or not. What I do know is Draven has taken back his case and he is no longer suing me. But he made sure to tell it to me clearly that if I try to pull any stunt on the day of the festival, he will make sure I pay for it.Asher and Ashel were excited about the festival, surprisingly. They were not looking forward to seeing their father but the festival itself. They had heard about it a lot growing up, and to experience it first-hand was something they were looking forward to.The costume that we wear on the day of the festival was specially made. Draven sent a dress designer to my house the very next day to get my measurements. He did not want any kind of delay or mishap on the day of the festival and was taking extreme precautions for it.Everyone in the hospital was pleasantly surprised that I would be hosting the festival this year and told me they were looking forward to it too.The whole pack was in the f

    Emma's POVI squinted my eyes and shook my head in confusion, “Because of me?”She nodded, “Yes.” And proceeded to tell me what had happened and what all he had told her. I did not know how to react or what to say. To be honest, it seems reasonable. I would have done the same for him, I would never be friends with Alex's enemies. But how can I say it to Desiree without sounding mean?I replied diplomatically, “Maybe he is not trying to give up on his friend just like how you did not give up on Stella.”“No. You can't say that.” She protested, “Stella is in a coma, but I am here, talking to you and apologizing to him. Do you still think I support her?”What she said was thought provoking and I was rendered speechless again.Desiree said, “I know I have been troublesome in the past but it was just because of plain hatred. I am not heartless enough to support someone who tried to kill someone.”I nodded my head, “I think I might have had a wrong impression on you, after all.”“You do.”

Because of her position as the pack’s ambassador, Natalie was forced to have a diplomatic relationship with everyone. This was the only reason she was putting up with the whole Sinclair family, especially Desiree. If she was not the face of the pack, she would have long jumped that spoiled brat for the things she put me through.I took in a deep breath and prepared for whatever bullshit was coming my way.Desiree stopped in front of us and caught her breath.
