Emma's POV

I let what he said sink in and realized that my experience with her was the same. “She did the same to me. Well, sort of.” I said, “I told you, right?”

“You did.” He said, “I don't understand what she is trying to do. I feel like the Sinclair family is onto something.”

“I don't think so.”

“Why? Just because she said she has changed, you believed her readily that she has indeed changed?”

“No, that's not it.” I said and struggled to find words to explain to him. After thinking for a while, I said, “See, Desiree is evil because of hatred, not because she was born like that. She won't hurt you unless you hurt her first.”

“We crashed her brother's party and proved that her best friend is a psychopath. Those are enough motives.”

“She was the one who invited us to that party, remember? Why would she do that?”

Alex zipped his lips again, not having anything to say.

I wanted to say something but I did not have enough courage to tell it to him directly. So, I thought it was a brillia

    Xavier's POVAlex was the first one to react to my bleeding hand, “Hey, are you okay? What happened?”The glass pieces pierced in my palm and I was bleeding, but I could not feel anything as there was a ragging storm inside me. Emma saw what happened and immediately rushed to check on me, “Xavier, are you okay?”I stared at her. I wanted to scream on her face that I was not okay. I wanted to grab her hand and get her out of here. But instead, I just blinked softly and said, “Yes. It was an accident.”“Oh my god, you aure bleeding.” She looked worriedly at my wounds.I said, “It's okay. I will get it treated. Please go back to what you were doing.”“You… sure?” She looked guilty.

Where exactly did he go? I tried to call him but none of my calls were answered. Since I could not stay out for too long, I rushed back to the venue to see something I never expected to see.

    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

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

    Emma's POVThe air was thick with tension as I watched Traces disappear into the hallway, his silhouette fading into the distance of the Pack house. My heart twisted with unease. The children. Where were they? Were they safe? Every second that passed felt like an eternity, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on my chest like an iron hand.And then, out of nowhere, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over me. The ground beneath me tilted, my vision blurring at the edges. A soft gasp escaped my lips as my knees buckled. I tried to stabilize myself and grab something to help me from falling but alas, it was too late. I didn't even have time to prepare or understand what was going on, I just felt my body fall towards the ground.I closed my eyes, preparing for the impact but before I could hit the ground, a pair of strong arms caught me mid-fall. The scent of embers and something unmistakably him enveloped me, steadying me even as my head spun."Emma!" Draven’s voice was sharp with conc

    Emma's POVMy fingers curled around the armrest as the plane finally touched down. The turbulence had been mild, but my exhaustion made everything feel heavier, the vibrations of the landing rumbling through my already tense body. More than twenty-four hours had passed since I last slept, but fatigue had yet to claim me. Restlessness coiled tight in my chest, refusing to let go.I stole a glance at Draven beside me. He was checking his phone, his sharp features set in a mask of unreadable focus. The moment the aircraft doors opened and we stepped into the terminal, his phone rang. The distinct vibration pattern told me it was Robin. Draven did not even waste a second and picked up the call immediately.“What is it?” His voice was low and controlled, but I could sense the undercurrent of tension.I stayed close as he listened, his expression darkening with every second. By the time he hung up, his jaw was clenched so tight I thought it might crack.He asked, “Are you sure you have the

    Alex's POVDesiree froze on her spot and looked at me and Robin simultaneously, “What? Was I not supposed to say that out loud?”I narrowed my eyes as I gestured toward the tattoo on the grainy surveillance photo, “Do you even know what this means?”Desiree scoffed, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips as she crossed her arms, “Of course I do. I spent the majority of my life in Italy, Alex. You think I wouldn’t know about the underworld?”“Desiree, I swear on the Moon Goddess I will send you back to the pack on the very next flight if you are playing around with me.”“I don’t need to, Mr Frost. I am already bored here, I won’t give you a useless puzzle to solve so that you spend more time here investigating. Honestly, I just want to get out of here.”Robin and I exchanged glances, not sure how to react to this new information that was revealed to us. The girl looked too confident in what she was saying, there was no way she could be messing with us. But still, we could not blind

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Can I come along?

    Alex's POVI stood near the edge of the tarmac, arms crossed, watching as Draven and Emma disappeared into the terminal. I could not shake Emma’s worried face off my head, Ashel and Asher were her whole life, and losing them was putting her in a spiral. I exhaled sharply, pushing away the gnawing feeling of unease that settled in my gut. For some reason, I felt like this was happening all because of me. I was the one who bought them here, I was the one who was responsible for their safety. I should have looked after them, but instead, I slacked off and now not only Emma’s family but the entire pack was in shambles.I have to find the kids, no matter what! And I had no time to waste, the time was ticking fast and I had to be quick.Just as I turned on my heel, ready to leave, a slow, deliberate smirk caught my attention. Desiree.She stood a few feet away, her arms lazily draped across her chest, eyes gleaming with a knowing amusement that instantly put me on edge. My jaw clenched seei

    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

    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
