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.

    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

    Emma's POV My childhood was miserable.I was abandoned in the middle of the forest when I was still a baby and the patrol guards were the ones who rescued me. Silver Moon pack has always been generous, they take in lone wolves and orphans all the time. Even though they were given the rank of an Omega and were made to lead the life of a slave, at least they took new wolves in unlike some rigid packs out there.My luck was better, or so that everyone thought. The Gamma of Silver Moon Pack, Austin Whitemane, and his wife, Dorothy, had just lost a child, so when they saw me, they readily took me in. To be raised as the daughter of the Gamma of the most powerful pack, you must expect that I lead a good life. It was promising at first, they pampered me until I was two years old and they welcomed Ernold, my brother. As soon as they had their own child, they tossed me aside like garbage. They did not kick me out of the house but did not treat me like their daughter, either. I was treated l

    Emma's POV Gamma Austin breathed on the phone and said, “Okay, where are you now?”“Why?” I did not have a good feeling about it.He said, “Me and your mother are coming over to meet you.”“I don't think that is necessary.” I immediately turned down their suggestion. But they were determined, “Emma, either you tell me where you are on your own or I will call Draven.”My head started to hurt talking to him, I did not want them to go and bother Draven so I was forced to reveal my address.After hanging up, I asked Mrs Digory to make some extra food just in case they stayed back for dinner. I was not looking forward to entertaining them and for some reason, I felt like they were up to no good. They were not coming to meet me because they were worried about me but because they needed something.Ashel and Asher, who were watching all this from the sofa, asked me carefully, “Mom, is everything alright?”“Yes.” I sat down next to them and said, “Your grandparents are coming over to meet you

He was clutching my hand so tightly that the pain went throbbing down my veins.“Austin, what are you doing? Let her go.” My mother tried to stop him but he did not listen. He said, “You ruined the family's reputation by getting involved in that murder scandal, no one wants to marry your brother anymore. Being involved with the Sinclairs is our only way to climb back on the social ladder.”My eyes flared open, “But I didn't do it. I was wrongly accused.”“And you think any of us care?” He gritted his teeth and let go of my hand which was almost numb at this point. He said, “You caused this, now fix this too.”The couple turned around to leave and I asked, “And what if I don't?”Gamma Austin st

    Emma's POVA few days later after these episodes, I got a call from Natalie while I was at work. I was elated when I received her call, “Hey! How are you? How was your trip?”“Boring. The food in France was too bland for my liking.” She complained. “You did not like it?” Natalie was gone for a whole month to attend a werewolf summit. Robin was the one who was originally supposed to attend this but since he was busy with the pack duties, Natalie went on his behalf to represent the Silver Moon pack.

Do you want me to write a check for you too?”Natalie's expression changed, “You wouldn't dare.”“Some test me, Natalie. Just step aside and let all of us have fun.” She waved the piece of paper again and said, “Come on, people. Go ahead! Whoever strips her down first takes the money.”“No!” Natalie shoved me behind her and covered me, “Stop right now or I am calling the cops.” She took out her phone and started to dial.“Gosh!

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Unreasonable Draven

    Emma's POVI peeped out of the window to see his car. He was indeed here.I put on my jacket to protect myself from the cold and went out.“Miss, where are you going?” Mrs Digory, who was just coming out of the kitchen, asked me when she saw me hurrying me out. I said, “The Alpha is here to talk to me about the kid's schooling. I won't be long.”“Oh, okay.” She said before getting back to her work.As I was approaching the car, I could see his silhouette inside the car. The smoke escaping from his half-open window and the half-burnt cigarette butts near his side of the car told me that he was smoking.This did not look like a good sign to me.I heard him unlock his car as I got closer; I opened the door and went in.“Draven, what time is it? Why are you here so late.” I asked and the man did not move. He kept sucking on the cigarette as if his life depended on it.A minute passed and he still did not reply, so I asked again, “Will you tell me or should I go back inside?”“Care to tell

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

    Emma's POVXavier looked very passionate as he looked at the menu and explained everything to me, but I could hardly keep my cool, given how close and intimate we were. 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

Wilson sold Florence to XS Group.”“What? When?”“A few days ago. Wilson is not the boss anymore.”“So… the new boss would be the CEO of XS?”I picked up from the conversation. 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 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.
