Emma's POVI immediately got up from my seat and rushed out to check what was going on. An elderly woman was lurching inside the hospital, carrying a kid who was drenched in blood. The sight was horrifying to witness. "Merely, get the bed ready." I said as I held the old lady. She dropped to the floor out of exhaustion and said, "Please, please save my grandson. The rogues… Rogues…""We will! Please don't panic." I said and took the kid with me to one of the wards.My uniform was stained by blood but I did not care.The old lady did not have to explain what had happened, this kid seemed to have been ambushed by the rogues. I attached the IV and started to clean the wounds. Merely was panicking, "Emma, the doctors aren't here. What do we do now?""Did you try contacting them?" I asked."I did. Doctor Andrews is out of reach." "What about the other guy?""He is currently on the other side of the pack. I don't know if he will make it here in time."I bit down on my lips, this was ser
Emma's POVAs soon as I got home, I dragged my exhausted body into the shower. It was a long day today but I was happy that I managed to save a life. I felt as if I was pulled back to my old life again.As much as I was relieved that nothing happened to the kid, I was really concerned about the pack. It has really gone downhill since I last visited.I picked up my phone to call Roger but since it was late at night, I sent him a text instead asking him to call me when he was free. The man called me almost instantly."Miss Whitemane." He politely greeted me from the other side of the phone."Hi, Beta Roger. How are you?" I asked."I am fine. Did you want to talk to the Alpha?" He asked in a serious tone."Yes, is he available?""No, Miss Whitemane. I am afraid he is not." The man replied.I nodded, "Oh, okay. Can I talk to you then?""Sure, Miss. What is it?"I sat down on the chair next to the balcony and told him what happened that day. The Beta listened to everything in silence and
Emma's POVI folded up the interview right there and excused myself into the hospital. It was just a five-minute interaction and I was already exhausted.Everyone was shocked to the core by my divorce announcement but none of them probed into that topic. Instead, they started to talk about how brave I was.Doctor Andrews showered praises on me for my brave act. He was really impressed by my work ethic and knowledge. He said, "Because of you West Wing is proud today, Emma."I thanked him and went to check on the kid, I was told that he was awake."Hi. How are you feeling?" I asked him as I did his routine check-up. He said, "Good."He was indeed stabilized and I pointed it out to him, "You are a very strong kid. You will make a good warrior.""I can?" "Yes! You suffered a huge injury but you are recovering fast."The boy smiled and said, "Grandma told me that you were the one who saved my life. Thank you so much.""Hey, don't say thank you for this. This is my duty." I caressed his h
Ducian's POVI was just entering the pack territory after my field trip to another pack when I received a call from the hospital saying that a patient was brought in and he was serious. I was tired from the day-long work and wanted to head back home to get some sleep. But when I heard this news, I immediately stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards the hospital.West Wing was a tiny hospital and we never had many patients attending us, so we were given all the rookies to work with. The nurses given to us were freshly graduated and did not have much experience. They were good but not yet capable of handling major issues.I was at the other side of the pack and even if I go on top speed, it would take me at least an hour to reach there.Midway, I was forced to stop because of a traffic jam. I looked at my watch and then at the long line of vehicles in front of me."We are not going to make it." My wolf said to me and I nodded in agreement."You are right. We should call the hospital a
Ducian's POVI was weirdly anticipating her arrival, I don't know why. Maybe I was just fascinated by her knowledge in this field and wanted to know more about her.I was surfing through my books when I heard a minute knock on the door. "Come in." I said nonchalantly, even though I knew who it was."Sir, you called me?" A very womanly voice asked me and I was stunned. Why was her voice so melodious? I have met many women in my life, all thanks to the blind dates set up by my mom, but none of them had a voice as charming as hers.I turned around to look at her and… everything changed.I could feel my heartbeat rising. I didn't even know that it was humanly possible to feel your pupils expand but I could feel mine do it. I could feel my pulse throbbing at my pressure points and the level of dopamine coursing through my veins.I was even feeling weird contractions in my lower abdomen. It was like my adrenaline gland was going insane there.She looked so… pretty!"Emma?" My mouth involun
Emma’s POVI was internally screaming…I was promoted to head nurse! A freaking head nurse! Can you believe it? I certainly cannot.The whole way downstairs, I was lost in my own thoughts. I did not expect Doctor James to be this chill, the girls sure made a very wrong impression of him in my head. Speaking of impressions, I made a complete fool of myself before the doctor. Why would I mention that to him? Why did I not use my brain and check his name once?Thank goodness he was chill about it and did not take it seriously. If it was Draven he would have fired me along with everyone.The girls are gonna hear about this from me.I went back to the nurse’s room to tell the girls about the promotion. They all were thrilled more than I was!“This is the best decision ever! We all needed a head nurse and who could be a better candidate than Emma!” Merely exclaimed.Doctor Andrews too congratulated me while he was on his rounds. He also told me that he believed in me and was already conside
Emma's POV"Draven?" I fluttered my eyes open; he looked far more furious than confused. He was a tall, well-built Alpha, capable of crushing me like a twig.He dragged his eyes to the knife in my hand as if he was asking me for an explanation. That was when I was reminded that my hand was still in his grip; I tried to withdraw but he tightened his hold on me, refusing to let go.I said, “I am sorry. I thought you were an assassin.”“What?” He threw away my hand as if it were some filth and entered the house, without saying anything.“Hey, stop.” I meekly tried to stop him and followed him in.I locked the door and gingerly hugged my waist, “Why are you here?”He sat down on the couch and stared daggers at me, I could say that he was upset but I did not know what for. Him just sitting there, looking at me silently was making me uncomfortable.I asked, “Will you just tell me why you are here?”“You tell me. Why do you think I am here?” He finally uttered.“Me? How would I… Wait, are th
Emma's POVDraven's eyes turned red as if they were two pits of fire; he let out a terrifying growl before transforming into his wolf and lunging at me. Before I could even react, he knocked me to the ground and pinned me underneath his sharp claws.I could see the hatred in his eyes and he let out another growl, inching his face closer to mine. I could feel the wolf’s hot breath on my face, it reeked of lust to taste my blood.Was this the end of me?Was this how I was going to die?What about my kids?How will they ever cope with this? I did not even get to say goodbye to them…I remembered something that happened years ago when we were still newlyweds. Draven had taken over the Alpha’s position a few years ago and this made the Silver Moon pack the target of nearby packs, especially rogues. We would have cases of breaching and wars at the pack outskirts every now and then.Draven might have been a rookie Alpha but he was a brilliant warrior. He would brave those wars and overpower
Emma's POVDraven walked to the front and said, “I think that is enough. You will get dizzy.”“No, I am never getting off of this.” I said at the top of my voice. His face was clouding with worry seeing how fast this was going. He said, “Emma, I am serious. Get down! I don't have a good feeling about this.”“What are you worried about?” Just as soon as I said this, my hands slipped off the bar and I went flying off the swing.“Careful!” Time seemed to have slowed down as I found myself falling towards the ground. I closed my eyes, preparing myself to hit the ground but instead of the cold, hard ground, I fell on something soft but rigid.I stayed there for a while, feeling two arms tightening their grip around me. That was when I opened my eyes to see Draven heaving, there was a mask of fear and worry on his face.He somehow managed to work fast and grab me, saving me from falling off and breaking my nose.His clutch was so tight that I felt like my bones were about to crush. I was j
Emma's POVI asked, “So, you don't have any fond memories of your childhood?”“No. I think I don't even know what it is supposed to feel like.”I grunted, agreeing with him, “You know, I relate with you.”“You do?” He raised an eyebrow, “But you were in the pack and Gamma Austin looks like he is a good father.”“He was a good father to my brother, not to me. 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
Emma's POVHe did not wait for me to say anything and got out of the car. 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.”
Emma's POV“What is your relationship with Alexander Frost?” Desiree's sudden question caught me off guard. I countered her question with a question of my own, “Why do you ask?”I had many more questions in my head. Why is she suddenly asking about him? 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. I am not obliged to answer your questions.”I stood up, preparing to leave but she stopped me, “Wait. Where are you going?”“Home because this conversation isn't going anywhere and, unlike you, I have a job and I have stuff to do.”“Wait! Don't go!” She stood up, her tone mellower than before, “I am sorry. Can you not go?”I looked at Desiree and saw something on her face w
