Alex's POV

“Nothing. Literally nothing.” My wolf, Pax, frowned inside me in exhaustion as I opened the fourteenth file of the day. I smiled at him, “Giving up already? We still have 300 more files to screen.”

When my wolf heard the figures, he lost it. He said, “Alex, I don't want to discourage you, but this is madness. It will take years for you to go through all these files.”

“I know but I have promised her that I would find her parents. I can't go back on my words.”

Since the day I promised Emma that I would reunite her with her parents, I have invested all of my time into it. I was looking through the pack records, newspapers, and every single relevant and irrelevant thing just in the hope that I would find some lead.

I have been looking at everything for the past few days but strangely I could not find anything. Not even a minor clue which would give me an idea of who her parents could be.

I tried to trace back to the patrol guard who found Emma in the forest only to find out tha

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Do you like Emma?

    Alex's POVI let out a small chuckle, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”“I always wanted to ask you this but could not find a chance.” He said, “Come on, tell me the truth.”I returned his solemn gaze and breathed out my answer, “Yes, I do.”A cold smirk appeared on his face, “Is this why you are trying to get us divorced? So that she picks you up?”“No, I am helping her with the divorce because she needs it. You are not fit for her, even if she doesn't choose me, I want her to be with a man who cherishes her.”“Why?” He asked, “Why is she so important to you?”I looked out of the window, my eyes clouding with nostalgia. I muttered, “She is the reason I am here today.”“How?”I sighed and narrated, “Our story goes way back, even before she met you.”“I was a lone wolf, I did not have any pack or parents growing up. I grew up in an orphanage and once I turned 18, I was kicked out to fend for myself. I was attacked and left to die by the rogues, I did not even fight back because

    Emma's POV“Another Rogue Attack reported!” Me and the nurses were looking at the live news coverage. A bunch of rogues breached the territory and went to war with the patrol guards early in the morning. The Alpha and his troops had to get involved to defeat them.As per the news, the rogues were captured but both sides sustained serious injuries. While we were watching it, Ducian came in and said, “Girl, pack your stuff. You will be working in the main hospital for a few days.”“Why?” Merely asked, “Is everything alright?”“The pack war. A lot of people are injured and admitted to the hospital, they are running low on staff so they are borrowing you all from us.”“Awwwww! I don't like West Wing.” Sonia commented as she went to pick up her first aid box.Ducian commented, “Look at these girls, frowning on the name of work.”I giggled and was about to pack my stuff when the doctor stopped me. He told me that I wouldn't be coming with them to the hospital and that I was appointed somewh

    Emma's POV“Emma, wait!” Draven followed me out of the room in an attempt to stop me but I turned a deaf ear to his words. “Sorry, can't do! I have work.” I said as I hurried down the stairs and ran out of the house.I caught a cab and got myself to the main hospital. The hospital was really crowded today because of the large intake of patients.I walked inside the ward and saw Merely checking on a patient. I went to her and said, “Hey!”“Emma? What are you doing here? Weren't you appointed to take care of the Alpha?” She asked.“Yeah, I was. I checked him and he is alright. He doesn't need a nurse so I came over here to help you all.”Merely laughed, “You could have been of some help if you came a little sooner. We are done with our work here! Doctor James said that we may get to go back home early as well.”“Damn, I think I missed all the fun.” The two of us were giggling until we heard Ducian's voice, “Emma, what are you doing here?”“Doctor, I went to the Alpha's place.

    As soon as Draven’s words fell, my parents’ faces lit up like a bloody Christmas tree. They said, “Did you not see the news? The rumors of your divorce are the latest talk of the town.”“Wow, I never knew that.” He commented nonchalantly before dealing with his cards.My mind was a mess right now and I was compelled to interrupt.I said, “Draven. What are you talking about? Weren't we going to get a divorce?”“That was just a misunderstanding.” He looked at my parents and said, “Emma was upset with me because of a few things and impulsively wanted to get a divorce but everything is okay now. We are working on our relationship.”“Good good!” My mother said, “I don't understand the system of divorce. If the Moon Goddess has brought you together, it is a blessing. One should not irrationally end a marriage and bring disgrace to her blessing.”I glared at the man sitting next to me. If I could, I wanted to dig all my nails on his neck and drink his blood.Now there was no way I would ever

    Emma's POV I shut my mouth and glowered at him!The two of us stayed like that for a while until we heard the housekeeper scream, “I did not see anything.”I darted my eyes towards the kitchen to see the old housekeeper running back inside. Seems like she misunderstood us; I mean… what would you think if you walk I on a woman on top of a man. Self-conscious, I rolled off the man and forcefully pulled my hands off his grab, “Draven, stop messing around.”“Okay okay! Don't be fierce.” He sat up on the sofa. Was he not bothered that his housekeeper had misunderstood us?Sherra came downstairs twenty minutes later with a big suitcase. Her ride was here and she was prepared to go off to the spa trip.Before leaving, she hugged the Alpha, “Take care, son. I have already called Stella, she will be here soon to take care of you. You won't need useless people around you.” She said the last line looking up at down at me as if I was something nasty. I rolled my eyes and did not bother to bicke

    Emma's POVI stepped back and clutched my heart, “Gosh, you scared me.”The man did not say anything and went back to sit on the sofa, typing something on his laptop. I picked out a set of pajamas, I was surprised that he even had the ones I was contemplating throwing away back then.I shut the closet door in a daze and asked, “Why do you still have my clothes?”“Huh?”Draven looked up from his laptop. He saw the pajamas in my hand and guessed what I must have asked him. He said, “I could not make myself throw them away.”I could feel my heart pound inside me rapidly, “Why?”“I don’t know. I just felt like not throwing them away.”I then asked, “Is Stella okay with this?”“She doesn’t know.”I cocked an eyebrow, “What do you mean she doesn’t know?”The man explained, “She doesn’t come to my room very often and the wardrobe stays locked all the time. I got it opened today because you were staying.”“...” I did not know what to say or what was more strange- the fact that he hid this from

    Emma's POV“Yaay!” Ashel jumped off my lap and hugged Draven's tall legs.Asher was stunned, he looked at his father as if he had betrayed him and asked, “I think we talked this through.”“I know and I respect your points. They were valid. But it is my personal choice.” The Alpha said like a wise sage. I don't know why but I was angered by his sudden switch in answer. Did he have to be so petty to go all the way to change his philosophy just to go against me?I sneered, “It is easy for you to say. I am rich.”“You are right. I am rich, that is why I am more eligible to give this answer.” The man picked up Ashel and made her sit next to him, “Money can buy you luxury but as Ashel said, it can't buy you happiness. You need a family for that!” Draven put extra stress on his last sentence. I could not understand what he was trying to say, I asked, “It is all just for show. Tell me, would you give up on your wealth for your kids?”“I will.” He said without hesitation. Asher interjected,

I was passing through the stairs to reach my bedroom when I picked on something moving on the couch from my peripheral vision.I turned my head to see Emma tossing and turning on the rigid couch.I stopped and sighed, she could not sleep just as I had warned.I went downstairs to talk to her.I did not tell this to anyone but after Alex visited me in my office the other day, I could not take my mind off what all he said to me. Emma never told me that she was in love with me since she was in college. I was not stupid, I knew how Omegas were treated in my pack. She threw away her whole life just to be near me, who does that? I regretted treating her so awfully and blaming her for marrying me just for money. I was so wrong and the guilt was eating me up.I wanted to make it up to her! I wanted to treat her in the way I should have treated her when she

    Emma's POVThe hum of the airport was a blur in my ears as my focus remained on Desiree’s face.“Desiree?” I involuntarily called out her name, causing her to look up. The usual haughty confidence that had been always there in Desiree’s eyes were replaced by flickers of shock when she us.She came to a halt right in front of us, staring at our faces as if we had caught her red handed or something.I barely had time to process her presence before Draven’s voice sliced through the tension. “What are you doing here?” Draven’s tone was sharp, authority laced in every syllable. 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

    Emma's POVMy mind was unable to process what was going on. Draven asked, “So, you were not intending to return my son if I stepped down from the position?”“Yes. 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

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Video call to the kids

    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

    Draven's POVI looked him dead in the eye and said in the most impolite tone possible, “Stay out of this, Alex. You have no idea what you are dealing with. This is family business.”The mutt did not say anything but he did not break eye contact either. 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. How can a summon given to the entire pack by the Alpha himself not be of importance? Why would anyone think it was not important unless…My eyes widened in shock as I realised. She did not take it seriously because she thought it was a bluff!I said, “You must h

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Torturing her and myself

    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

    Draven's POVThe scout barely had time to catch his breath as he came rushing into my cabin, “Alpha, we have an emergency.”The panic on his face was evident and I looked at Robin wordlessly. 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’
