I Became An Alpha After Divorce Guilt and Anger
Draven's POVI was in the back of the car, staring at my laptop which was currently displaying Emma's drawing room. The whole house was silent and there was no visible movement until the bedroom road creaked open.Emma lurched out of the room with a towel wrapped around her body. She looked dull and lifeless, making her way into the shower. I shut down the laptop screen and looked away unbothered.

If she asked what was wrong, I wouldn't be able to lie and another fight was the last thing I wanted at this moment.Robin drove me home and dropped me off, he suggested walking me in but I asked him to get back home as it was already late. I noticed that the light in my room was still bright, indicating that Stella had not gone to sleep and was waiting for me.

I stood up from the bed and screamed back at her, "If you don't have faith in me, you don't have to be here."I grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room."Draven? What are you doing? Draven?" I took her downstairs despite her resistance and tossed her out of the house. "Ahhh…" Stella crashed on the porch and looked at me in disbelief. She could not believe that I had kicked her out of the house.She asked, "Are you for real? Are you kicking me out of the house for her?""Don't twist the story, Stella."

It seemed like she was determined to seduce me today and that

So I need to have a beautiful lady accompanying me.""Is that why you are inviting me? Because you believe I am beautiful?""What else? You are not some kind hearted medical genius, are you?" He said with a straight face before both of us started laughing.I said, "Congratulations on hosting the Ball this year, Alex. I appreciate the invitation but I don't think it is a good idea.""Why?" He crossed his arms around his chest, interrogating me like a school kid.I tucked my hair behind my hair and avoided looking into his eyes, "I don't belong there.

Ashel said and started, "Dad got the cook to make us some French dishes."I controlled my sneer and said, "Did he now?""Yes, it was delicious. And you know what happened today.

He came to the other side of the car and opened the door for me.I was confused, “What are we doing?”He helped me out of the car, explaining, “I got the mall to reopen.”“You did what?” A mask of surprise appeared on my face. Did he just say that he got the mall to remain open? As soon as he said it, the door of the mall was pulled open and two gentlemen donning suits came out. Both looked distinguished and I could say by their aura that they were important people.One of them started, “Mr Frost. Miss Whitemane. Welcome to our mall. I am Vance Digory, the Manager of this Mall. And this is my assistant, Francis.”“Hello.” I nodded, hiding partially behind Alex.Francis spoke up, “Mr Fors

My parents lived in their pack and it was a four-hour drive from Silvermoon. The mountain roads were dangerous for travel this late at night. And honestly, even if it was safe, I could not go there.My father was against me getting back together with Draven. Apparently, when I was still in a coma, my father fought with Draven over sending me back to my pack but the Alpha always refused, claiming that the Northern Pack did not have a good enough hospital to keep me alive.He was right.

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

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

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

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.
