Draven's POV

That thought slipped into my mind, unbidden, but it felt true. If I hadn’t married her, she wouldn’t be in danger. She would be safe. She would still be the Emma I had met all those years ago, the one with a future untouched by darkness, untainted by my mistakes.

I lifted my head and shoved the ring back in my pocket. I had to do this! I have failed her multiple times, I am not going to fail in protecting her.

But the clock was ticking.

I couldn’t change what had happened. I couldn’t undo the call, couldn’t turn back time and tell her the truth. If I told her now, it would only put her in more danger. The man who threatened her was real. He was dangerous. And if I didn’t follow through, if I didn’t protect her the only way I knew how, I would lose her for good.

I had already lost her, in a way. I had watched her crumble, her heart breaking under the weight of my words, and I had stood by, doing nothing.

But this—this was the end.

I was no hero. I wasn’t the man she thoug

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Good riddance

    Emma's POVI sat in the car for a while, left with no strength to walk out. Alex asked, “Do you want me to go in with you?” He knew what I was the most scared of and why I was stalling to go inside the house.I pursed my lips and did not lift my head, “She really thought we could get back together. It just breaks my heart that I will have to go inside and tell her the truth.”Alex covered my hand with his palm and said, “Ashel is a sensible kid. She was in the ward yesterday when Draven came demanding for divorce. She will not blame you.”I smiled in heartbreak, “She won't blame me even if it was just me being selfish. That's the thing, she is too kind to be hurt like this.” I continued, “All she ever wanted was a father and I failed miserably in providing her that.”“Don't say that.” He said, “You are a damn good mother! You have been both a father and mother figure to the kids since they were born.”His words gave me comfort but not the courage to go inside. I stared at the door, tak

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Resignation

    Emma's POVThat night, after the twins had gone to bed, I couldn’t shake the restless feeling that gnawed at me. Natalie, Alex and the girls from the hospital kept calling me to check on me every now and then. Merely even dropped by to see how I was doing after her shift ended.These people did not just make me feel loved but also secured. It felt nice to see people actually care about me but I was still not content.I needed to do something, anything, to regain control over my life. I had been working at the hospital for four months now and despite everything, it had been a place of stability. But now, in the wake of everything that had happened, I couldn’t help but feel like it was another part of the life I was trying to leave behind. I needed to move forward, I knew I was going to move out of this pack very soon and restart my life. I did not want to stalk it anymore, I wanted to start the process of moving on right away.Without thinking, I grabbed my coat and left the house, hea

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   More than I can ever express

    Emma's POVThe man's eyes softened when he heard my words. He pulled out his handkerchief and handed it to me like a gentleman, “We are always here for you, Emma. I am not quite sure about others but I can vouch for myself, I am definitely here for you and I always will be.”His words made me smile, for some reason it was silly to hear all these heartwarming words from an emotionally stoic man.“Thank you…”He stared into my eyes, “Don't thank me. To be honest, I am sorry that you felt alone and as if you had no one in your life. I should have expressed it better.”I hugged him and said, “It means a lot, Ducian.”The man walked a single arm around me and said in the same stoic tone, “You mean a lot to me, Emma. More than I can ever express.’The next day…The soft chime of the doorbell echoed through the quiet house, stirring me from the haze of thoughts that had consumed me all morning. My gaze flickered towards the front door as I sat up on the couch, cradling a cup of lukewarm coffe

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The much needed trip

    Emma's POVThe suggestion hung in the air between us, filling the silence with a potential that both excited and intimidated me. “A trip?” Ashel echoed, her interest piqued.“Yeah,” Alex said, looking over at me. “A little getaway. Get out of the house for a while. Change of scenery might do you all good.”He continued further, “It’s been a tough few weeks, Emma, for all of you. Maybe a change of scenery will help you all take your minds off things. The kids will get a break from school, and you will get some time to breathe.”I didn’t know how I felt about it at first. A trip meant leaving the comfort of home, leaving the familiar, and that terrified me. But then again, Alex had a way of making things seem simpler than they were. Maybe I needed that. Maybe we all did.I glanced at Asher and Ashel, who were now both eagerly nodding, their faces lighting up at the idea of an adventure. “You think it would help?” I asked Alex, my voice quieter now, almost uncertain.“Of course.” He sai

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Out of spite

    Emma's POVThe message from Alpha Draven echoed in my mind like an incessant drumbeat. The vacation we had been looking forward to had just turned into another reminder of how little control we had over our lives. The bright, tropical island surrounding us seemed like a cruel joke now, a stark contrast to the dark cloud hovering over us.I glanced at Alex, still holding his phone in his hand, eyes narrowed in concern. I asked, “Why suddenly? Om what grounds is he asking us to return.”“Apparently there has been some intel that the rogues are planning to attack us. He wants everyone to return to the pack for safety purposes.”I wasn’t buying it. Not for a second.“So, let me get this straight.” I said, my voice clipped, trying to control the growing irritation in my chest, “Draven wants us to return to the pack because there’s some rogue attack coming? That’s why he’s pulling us back in the middle of our vacation?”Alex sighed, looking like he was weighing whether to argue or just give

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The kids are gone

    Emma's POVThe restaurant buzzed with chatter and the clinking of silverware, but none of it mattered to me. The noise and the laughter all faded into the background as my gaze swept desperately across the room. The twins were nowhere to be seen.I checked the corners, scanning every table, hoping to catch a glimpse of their faces. Nothing. I could not find them anywhere!My heart hammered in my chest as panic started to crawl under my skin. It was unlike them to wander off, to be out of my sight for so long. I forced myself to breathe, taking slow, deliberate breaths as I stood up from the table."Excuse me." I said, my voice tight as I approached the nearest waitress, "Have you seen two children, about six years old? Twins, a boy and a girl?"The young woman blinked at me, her eyes wide with confusion, "I am sorry, ma’am, I haven’t seen any kids around here."Frustration coiled inside me, but I forced myself to stay calm, "Are you sure? They were just here, playing around."She ga

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   My family business

    Emma's POVI barely registered his words. Everything in me screamed that the twins were out there, somewhere, and I wasn’t about to let anyone stand in my way.I shoved the door open, but before I could take a step inside, two large hands grabbed me from behind. "Let go!" I yelled, but the grip tightened, pulling me away from the room."Emma!" Alex shouted, but he was too far away. One of the restaurant workers was holding him back now, pinning him against the counter."Let go of me!" I screamed and struggled in the man’s arms. And before I could realise, I threw a punch across his face, "I need to see them! I need to know where they are! Step away from me!”“That's it. I am calling the cops.” The owner immediately ran away, tapping on his phone when he was unable to control the crowd, "Yes, officer, I need you to send someone to the restaurant. We have a disturbance here."I could hear the sirens before I even realized it, their sound cutting through the air like a knife. My breath c

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Fighting like dogs

    Emma's POVAlex held his ground, but I could see the tension in his posture. He was trying to defuse the situation, to keep Draven from escalating further.I said, “Let's… Let's not do this. I…”Draven turned to me, almost screaming in my face, “Why are you like this, Emma? Why are you so stubborn? Why could you not just listen to me?”“I…” I did not have any answer for it, “I did not know it was serious…”He scoffed, “You must have thought that I was doing it to sabotage your little vacation, didn't you?”I pursed my lips, too ashamed to admit it. I have lost my kids because of my pride and ego, how can I ever admit to doing something so horrible?Draven started again, “You have lost the kids, Emma! It is entirely your fault.”His words were hitting me like nail hitting the coffins. I felt my eyes stinging with tears as I kept staring at my feet. I could not even look up to meet his eyes! Even though Draven was not the best father, he always made sure to go an extra mile to make sure

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The mysterious wolf

    Emma's POVMy composure crumbled. “Draven,” I choked out, “I don’t know what’s happening to me. I am hallucinating. I think I am losing my mind.”“Hey, hey. Breathe. Tell me what happened.”I swallowed hard, my fingers trembling as I sent him my location, “Please, hurry.”“I AM on my wa.,” he assured me. “Stay put.”Just as I hung up, movement caught my eye. A figure stood in the middle of the road, draped in a black robe.My pulse spiked. My instincts screamed at me to drive, to leave, but something held me in place. Slowly, I rolled down my window. “Do you need help?”No response.My phone chimed again. I glanced at the message from Draven—Almost there.When I lifted my gaze, the figure was gone.A shiver ran down my spine. I scanned the area, my breath catching when I turned to my side—The figure stood right next to my window.I barely had time to gasp. My heart slammed against my ribs, my chest tightening with panic.

    Emma's POVJust when I thought that I was hearing things, I heard her again, “Mom… Can you hear me?”The voice was faint, distant, but unmistakable. My heart leaped into my throat and I gasped, my breath hitching as I heard the familiar voice echo through my head.“Ashel?” I called, my eyes darting frantically around the dimly lit space. But there was no one there, just the cold walls and the flickering bulb above me.My heart pounded against my ribs and I was dying to just hear her voice one more time. “Ashel!” I yelled again, desperation creeping into my voice.“Mom, please save me. I am scared.” Her unmistakable voice spoke to me.“I am here. I will get you, sweetie. Don’t be scared.” I pressed my ear against the door to see if anyone was there and heard the faint mutters of the housekeepers talking to themselves. I started pounding on the door with clenched fists, “Let me out!”The initial chatter stopped dramatically and there was dead silence now.A sharp wave of panic surged th

    The 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.

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The New Gamma

    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.

    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

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   A distinctive tattoo

    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
