Emma's POV

The dimly lit room was abuzz with the soft hum of conversation and the occasional clinking of glasses. The air was thick with tension as two men sat huddled around a poker table, their eyes locked in a fierce stare.

The card dealer formally explained the rules to the men but neither of them were paying heed to him.

Xavier said, “Best of luck, Alpha.”

Draven did not say anything, unlike Xavier he remained calm and emotionless.

The cards were dealt and the game officially began. The two men checked their cards and played the game carefully.

The audience held their breath, especially me! Both of them were pretty confident and focused on the game. One could not even guess what the result was going to be like.

The deals of the first round was revealed and it turned out to be strangely straightforward and unexpected.

“The winner of this round, Master Stone.” The card dealer announced, taking everyone be surprise.

Everyone started to gossip amongst themselves as the Alpha final

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The final dance

    Emma's POVAs soon as Xavier walked away, Draven turned to look at me. I opened my mouth to congratulate him but before I could do that, one of the seniors interrupted us.He took Draven's hand and shook it fiercely, “That was a wonderful game, Alpha. You really kept us all at the edge till the very end.”“Yes, Alpha. I knew you would triumph!”“Can you teach us your way, Alpha? How do you play so well.”More and more people to surround him to congratulate, ultimately pushing me out of the crowd.All I could do was chuckle and walk away. As I stood at the edge of the crowded ballroom, sipping my champagne and trying to make small talk with the other guests, my eyes couldn't help but drift back to him. He was standing in the middle of the crowd of people admiring him but he still managed to remain humble and untouched.He did not say much and only acknowledged their words with a slight nod every now and then. He had always been a force to be reckoned with, and it seemed that nothing h

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   What do you want from me

    Emma's POVI stood in the hallway, my fingers trembling as I tugged at the hem of my dress. The banquet’s noise felt like a distant hum, the laughter and chatter of people fading into nothing as I found myself standing here, alone in the quiet. The world outside this room felt far away, almost unreachable. My thoughts were spinning in tight circles, tugging at the edges of my sanity as I struggled to make sense of it all.I thought I had grown! I thought I had mastered the art of being a woman of composure, of control, but tonight… it was all different. Nothing was making any kind of sense to me. Not my heart, not my thoughts, and certainly not Draven. Even though he was unpredictable, I thought I knew the Alpha, or at least I thought I knew what we were, what we had, but now... now I was starting to question everything.Was it real? Was any of it real?The past few months had been nothing short of a whirlwind. I feel like I am constantly left to drown, pulled under by the intensity

    Emma's POV“What is it, Draven?”“I am going back home. Let me drop you and the kids home too.” He offered.“No, thanks. I will book a cab.”“Stop being so stubborn.” He said, “Tell me where you are. I am coming over to pick you up.”I rolled my eyes and remembered something, “Uhhh, Draven can’t do. We just now got into the cab. We are already leaving.”“Is that so?” The man asked. Just when I was rejoicing that I had managed to fool him, someone pulled the phone away from me. “Hey. Are you fuc-” I swallowed the rest of the words down my throat when I realized that the person who had pulled my phone away was none other than Draven. He hung up on the call and said, “Didn’t know your cab had catering services too.”I was too embarrassed to answer so I turned away. He asked the kids if they were full, and once they said they were, he footed the bill and got us out.Draven put the kids in the car and asked me, “Why are you acting strange?”“What?” I did not expect him to confront me like

    Draven's POV“Draven watch out.”Emma screamed out of nowhere, taking me off guard and that was when I noticed it. I saw a car coming towards us through my peripheral vision. Instinct took over and without thinking, I grabbed Emma’s arm, pulling her to the side. But before I could get her far enough, she did something I didn’t expect. She shoved me.In a single, desperate motion, Emma pushed me out of the way, sending me stumbling backward, away from the car that was hurtling toward us. It was too fast. The moment stretched out in slow motion, the headlights blinding me as I reached out in vain to grab her, to pull her out of harm’s way.But it was too late.The car collided with her with a sickening thud. Time seemed to stop as I watched her body crumple under the force of the impact. My heart dropped into my stomach, the panic surging through me like a tidal wave. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t breathe. All I could do was watch in horror as Emma fell, her body twisting unnaturally as

    Draven's POVThe world around me felt like it was crumbling, yet I couldn’t move. I stood in the sterile, white hallways of the hospital, my mind spinning, but my body frozen in place. The harsh fluorescent lights above seemed to buzz louder than the voices of the doctors and nurses rushing past me, their faces blurred, their words muffled.Emma. She had been in critical condition, they told me that, but it didn’t seem real. The blood, the pain, the moment she had fallen to the ground… It was all so far away now, a nightmare that I was still trapped in, unable to wake up from.I couldn’t breathe. The pressure in my chest was suffocating, but it wasn’t just from the panic or fear. It was the weight of guilt, of knowing that I had failed her. I had failed the one person who had ever trusted me, the one person who had ever made me feel like I mattered, and I couldn’t undo it. I couldn’t fix it.I didn’t even know where I was going anymore, my feet moving without thought, my body pulling

    Draven's POVI closed my eyes and rubbed my temples, trying to quiet the noise in my head, but it wouldn’t stop. The guilt, the shame, the fear. It all mixed together in a cocktail of despair, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. I don’t know how long I stayed there like that, I was completely numb to what was happening around me.Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, my phone rang again. Robin. I hesitated, but then answered, my voice hoarse.“Alpha,” Robin said, his voice calm but filled with relief. “The Luna’s out of surgery. She is stable. The operation was a success. She is saved.”For a moment, I couldn’t process the words. Saved. She was saved.It was like a weight lifted off my chest, but it was fleeting. I didn’t feel relief, not really. Not when I knew I had almost lost her. Not when I knew what I had almost done.“How is she now?” I asked, calming myself down and trying to regain my composure.“She is out of danger, Alpha. She is yet to regain consciousness but

    Emma's POVThe soft beeping of the heart monitor was the first thing I heard as I slowly regained consciousness. My head was foggy, like I had been submerged in water, struggling to break the surface. My limbs felt heavy, as though they were made of lead, and every inch of my body screamed in pain. But the worst part? The cold, empty feeling in my chest. I couldn't remember what had happened. I couldn't remember how I had ended up here, lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by bland white walls.I tried to open my eyes, but they felt weighted, unwilling to obey my command. With a small groan, I forced them open, squinting against the bright lights above me. The world around me was blurry, the shapes and figures shifting like shadows. But I could make out the figures of my children—Asher and Ashel—sitting beside me, their faces filled with relief, their eyes wide with worry. Asher’s hand was holding mine, his grip warm and familiar.“Mom?” Asher’s voice was gentle, but I could hear the r
