Emma's POV

As my phone was ringing, my grip on it was tightening involuntarily and I slipped into a trance wondering if I should pick up the call or not. I broke out of my thoughts when my phone buzzed halfway through the call. It was him, saying- Pick up, I won't bite.

I gulped and with trembling fingers proceeded to answer the call.

I put it against my ear and muttered, “Hello.”

There was no sound from the other side of the phone and it was eerily silent. I don't know why but a fear of something was growing inside me.

This was a bad idea. I said in my head. This was a very bad idea!

It was going to be a little over thirty seconds but there was still no response. It was not that there was complete nothingness on the other side of the phone.

He was there. I could feel his dominating and ominous aura. He was lurking in the shadows as if he was watching his prey and waiting to hunt them.

When I did not receive any response, I said, “Is anyone there?”

Just then, a voice as deep as the t

    Emma's POVMy hand slightly trembled and I had to tighten my hold on my phone involuntarily lest it slip out of my grip. His words spiraled inside my head and for a moment I could not believe in my ears.Did he really say he knows the person responsible for the crash?Does this mean that I was right?It was not just a mere accident but a carefully planned assassination attempt.Every realization came concaving down on me, and I stood up as if I had been pricked. The silence of the call was disturbed by his lazy giggle, “You did not know, huh?”“I had a doubt but… never mind.” I did not want to tell him anything right now as there was something more important, “Tell me who was it?”“Woah, right to the business.” He commented.I replied, “I could have died that day. Do you understand the seriousness of this?”“But you did not die, so it is no longer important.”“It is.” I said, “There is someone out there who is trying to kill me. I need to catch him before he harms me and my kids again

    Emma's POVI pursed my lips as my eyes squinted themselves. “How do you know that he won't try to harm me?”His voice turned more and more serious as he uttered these words, “I won't let anything in this world touch even a strand of your hair.”Goosebumps.I felt goosebumps surfaced all over my body when he said something like this. Since the day I have come in contact with this guy, I know he is not the kind to mess around with. I have not known him for much long and even this was my first time talking to him but I can say by the kind of vibe he was emitting, he was the kind who would not hesitate to hurt people.I cleared my throat and tried to lighten up the conversation, “So, you are like my personal bodyguard?”“I want to be more than that.”“What?” I asked, “A friend?”He grunted, clearly annoyed, “You won't ever let me be cheesy, will you?”“No, I won't. You can always try somewhere else though.”“Not interested.” I heard him stand up from his chair and the sound of his shoes

    Emma's POVDoctor James? My immediate reaction was to look over at the clock. I was not mistaken, it was indeed 2 in the morning.Why is he calling me at this hour of the day?I picked up the call and said, “Hello, doctor? Is everything alright?”“Emma! Thank God you are not asleep.” This was my first time hearing such panic in his voice. He said, “Something happened and I need to perform an immediate surgery. I need you.”I immediately yanked my bedsheets off me and stood up on my feet, “What happened, doctor? Who is the patient?”“I don't have time to explain all this. Get ready, I will pick you up from your house in five minutes.”He quickly hung up and I rushed into a state of panic as well. I put on the nearest outfit I could find and threw in a jacket before literally running out of the house. Doctor James's car came to a halt right in front of me.He looked at me and said, “Get in.” I opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down inside. “Doctor, is everything alright?”

    Emma's POVPatients tend to respond to a certain level during or post-surgery but Romona did not. Her body was functioning but she was unresponsive which meant that she was currently in a vegetative state with no fixed time of waking up.This was very crucial information that the patient's family should have known but why did he skip it? Did he forget? No, that was unlike him. “Doctor?” I called him out, making him snap out of his thoughts. I asked, “Why did you not tell this to them?”“It's too early. What if it is just a temporary state and she wakes up? I don't want them to panic for nothing.”“Doctor, I don't want to put them in that state either but what if she doesn't wake up soon. They are going to ask questions and we won't have any answers at that time.”Ducian fell mum and seemed to be having a conflict amongst himself over what to do. I understood his position, they were close to him and it would put him in a challengingposition to reveal something like this to them. I s

    Emma's POV“Mhmmm… Where am I…” Was the first thought that flashed inside my head as soon as I regained my senses. My vision was blurry just like my thought process and I had no idea what was going on. I looked around to find myself in something which seemed to be moving and then I slowly made out that I was in the backseat of some car.The backseat of a car? How did I end up here?My head was dizzy and I needed some assistance. I tried to call out but realized that there was a cloth around my mouth, obstructing me from making any sound. My eyes flew open and I involuntarily tried to sit up straight. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that either as my arms and legs were tied.Panic took over me and I was fully awake at this point. I managed to look around and saw the driver who was driving the car.The fuss I was creating seemed to have attracted his attention. He turned to look around at me and smiled creepily, jumping start my memories.It was the same face I had seen before my memories

    Draven's POV“Hey, this is Emma. Leave your message after the beep.” As soon as I heard this announcement, I pulled the phone away from my ear in annoyance. The mask of anger on my face was noticed by my daughter who was sitting on the sofa next to me.Holding the stuffed, pink bunny which was almost half her size, she asked, “Did Mom not pick up the call?”I looked at my phone and shrugged, “Yes.”Emma and I were supposed to take the kids shopping today. They were starting school in a few days since it was a huge milestone in their life, and they wanted their mother involved.I informed her about it days ago and asked her to keep her schedule clear. She agreed to it but now was not picking up my calls.“Can we please wait a little longer? Maybe she is busy.” The little girl pleaded in the most adorable voice possible. “Of course, sweetheart.” I said and petted her head. The way daughters can bring the soft side in you which you did not even know existed.The arm of the clock shifted

    Draven's POVEven Strix perked up when he heard Alex's question. Emma only had Natalie and this guy in the name of friends, it was really concerning if she was not with either of them.I replied, “No, I am unable to find her.”“What!” His voice raised, “Where are you? Did you check in the hospital?”“I am in the hospital with her Senior Doctor. Apparently, she went back home early in the morning.”“I don't have a good feeling about this. Especially after what she told me last night.”“What happened last night?” I furrowed my eyebrows.Alex seemed hesitant to talk about it over the phone, so I reassured him, “You can tell me. It's safe.”He hushed his voice and said, “Emma was right. It was not an accident, someone was indeed trying to kill her.”“What?” My whole body went numb, and I couldn't think of another thought.Did he just say that someone was trying to kill Emma?I went to a scheduled corner where no one could hear me speak. I asked, “What do you mean someone tried to kill her

    Draven's POVI did not explain further or wait for him to say anything, I just hung up and stepped on the gas pedal. I was driving across the highway, jumped every single traffic light and even edged a few accidents but made it to the pack house in just the right minutes.I did not even bother to park the car and left it right in the corridor. I marched into my office where the charge and staff of the security department were waiting for me.“Alpha.” They greeted me nervously.I sat down on my chair and said, “Play the footage of 4 am of every single surveillance camera near West Wing Hospital.”“On it.” The incharge tapped a few times on his laptop and the screen of the television in my cabin lit up. “There are four cameras around that area, Alpha. And this is the footage of the time you requested.” The incharge explained to me and played the video.Not even two minutes into the video, I could see Emma's frail frame walking alone on the road. The door of my cabin was pushed open a

It was a fun day, I had even bought a dessert along with me which Xavier said was the restaurant’s delicacy. I was excited to try it with my kids and talk to them about their day.I walked in on the door to see the whole house engulfed in a strange atmosphere. 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

    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

    Emma's POVI sent both the girls and made sure they boarded safely in the car. I trusted Xavier and his men, the girls were in safe hands. 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

They looked at me, unable to blink, “Is your friend really Xavier Stone?”“Yes.”“Holy… Moly!” The two said in unison.The cop was scared shitless after listening to the chief’s words, “Mr Stone…” Xavier did not say anything, instead he indicated for the cop to uncuff him.“Yes, yes. I am sorry!” He immediately pulled out his keys and unlocked his handcuffs.By the time he was done releasing Xavier, a set of three black cars rolled inside the premises. A tall, lean man wearing spectacles got out of the car and made his way towards Xavier.“Boss, are you alright?” This man was Brandon, Xavier's assistant and the one who had been representing him all these years.If people had any doubt regarding Xavier's claims, it must have vanished the second Brando

    Emma's POVThe crowd stood there stunned and were talking amongst themselves. “He is the boss?”“No, he is not! I have seen Wilson and he does not look like this.”“Aren't you aware? 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. No one has ever seen him in real life.”“Yes, no one has ever seen him. He is always secretive about his identity.”“Exactly. There is no way he would hang out here and reveal himself just like that.”“This man is looking for troubles, that's it

    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

Of course, he is rich.”Sonia grinned, “What is his name? Is he single? Is he looking for a date?”I nodded, “He is single but I don't know if he is looking for a date.”“Oh, no worries. 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.
