Draven's POV

I instantly regretted what I just said. I did not even know why I said that.

My wolf, Knox, growled at me for my vicious words.

I watched the girl step back a bit, distancing herself from me. She did not say anything, her questioning gaze was enough for me to know what was going on within her head.

She was hurt by my words, but I could not stop. I wanted to hurt her more…

When she first asked me to marry her three years ago, I wanted to claw the life out of her. I had given her my word and the doctors told me the chances of Stella waking up again were slim. So with a heavy, I ended up getting married to Emma.

The first few months of the marriage were rough, every time I saw her, I would growl at her and warn her not to come anywhere near me. My family hated her and even the pack did not show much warmth towards her.

We did not share a marital bed and were never going to, I couldn't picture myself with anyone who was not Stella.

    Emma's POVI stumbled on the corridor as I ran out of the cabin, never in a million years did I expect this from Draven. All the respect I had for him fell down to the depths of Hell.I ran inside my cell and closed it, the four walls which gave me nightmares for the past few weeks were now the only place where I felt safe. My face was wet with sweat and I had strands of hair sticking on it. I looked like a mess, like someone who had just managed to save herself from the clutches of Satan himself.Once I was alone in the cell, I broke down in tears. I covered my face and let myself wither down. This heartbreak was too much for me to bear…All this year of love, sacrifice, and dedication only to be stooped down to the level of being his whore.Before he said those cruel words, I was actually constructing a sentence within my mind to tell him the truth. Tell him that I was pregnant with his child.But now… It did not matter! A man who doesn't even see me with respect, won't ever accept

"Mom! Brother stole my candy." I was about to walk out of the terminal when I heard a meek little voice complain. I turned my head to see my twins tugging on a piece of candy.Six years ago, after that accident, I lost all hopes of surviving.

Thanks to them, not only did I recover despite being severely injured, but even my baby was safe.After I recovered, I did not know where to go or what to do.

Alexander said.I looked at my kids who were fast asleep; they didn't know who their father was.When they were born, I did not stress myself. I knew there would be a point where they would ask me about him and I was sure I would have a well-constructed story by then. But to my surprise, they asked me the question sooner than expected. I could not tell them that their father did not want us, it would shatter my kids in the same way it shattered me. So, I told them that their father was dead.I know it is cruel but I have to protect my children.I muttered, "I won't ever let Draven get his hands on my kids. It's just a matter of a week; once I am done with my work, I will go back and never return.""I hope everything finishes smoothly." Natalie chimed."Here we are…" Alexander parked the car in the p

    Emma's POVThe audience gasped loudly and started to look at each other in confusion. For the past six years, no one dared to even say my name out loud within the pack. I was a taboo who was long forgotten, but now when the reporter was suddenly digging up my name, people were visibly horrified.I turned sideways to address Alex, "This was you, wasn't it?"The man giggled and said, "We have to set the right kind of atmosphere for your big entry."I shook my head, this was way too dramatic but I wasn't complaining.Alpha Draven's eyes turned colder and colder like the air around him. Even though we were far behind downstage, we could still feel the chilly aura he was emitting.Stella clenched her fist, and she lunged to grab his mic to say something but Draven spoke first, "What about her?"My head bogged itself up to look at him, I did not expect him to respond to the question.The reporter corrected his glasses and asked, "Alpha, as you know, Miss Whitemane died six years ago during

I sneaked a glance at the Alpha who was still near the mic stand. He wasn't making a single sound but there was obvious confusion and disbelief on his face. I smirked to myself, that was what I wanted.I went to the assassin and signaled at the guards to loosen her.I said, "This is Rosary Flint, a small-time rogue assassin. She is the real culprit.""Is this… true? Are you the one who stabbed me that night?" Stella fell back a few steps and landed in Draven's arms. When Rosary was silent even after all this, Draven finally stepped in. In his authoritative Alpha tone, he asked, "She is asking you something. Did you do it?"Rosary shivered a little by his intimidating tone, I knew that my work was done here. I crossed my arms and joined Alex and Natalie at the corner."Answer at once." Alpha Draven

The documents which were in my hands slipped to the floor and the next thing I knew, I was in my car, rushing to the crash sight.I even jumped a few red lights and when I reached there, the firemen were busy securing the crash sight. I did not care about the do not enter signs, I shoved away everyone who tried to restrain me and ran down the cliff. The crash had set the van on fire and it had destroyed almost everything.

Where was she all this time?Why didn't she come back?How did she even come into the pack without any of us noticing?What gave her the guts to just walk in here and announce herself as alive?

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? Even you had a shitty childhood growing up.” I smiled at him, “It used to bother me once upon a time but it doesn't matter anymore.”“Yeah.” He took the last bite of his meal and said, “There is nothing we can do about it. It's long gone.”I opened my mouth to agree with him but shut up immediately when I remembered something. I put down my fork and grinned at him, “Let's go!”“Where?” I got up from my seat and grabbed his hand, “Let's go!”“But your food…”“Let's go go go!”I starte

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. You can all go back to your work.”My f

    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.”

They don't even know each other.Desiree said in a rather rude tone, “Can you not give me the answer without knowing the reason?”There she goes, going back to her true rude self after pretending to be polite for so long. I shook my head; it must have been extremely exhausting to smile at her.I did not get angry. Instead, I said calmly, “You called me here to talk.

It would be pretty of us to just run away.”“Why should we not run away? That woman is literally a devil's spawn.” Natalie gnashed her teeth. 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.
