Draven's POVMy anger was reaching the skies at this point. Why does everyone think that I am in love with her?I tried my best to keep my anger under check and talk to her patiently but she asked again, "God dammit, Draven. Just tell me the fucking truth.""I don't love her." I stood up from the bed and screamed back at her, "If you don't have faith in me, you don't have to be here."I grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room."Draven? What are you doing? Draven?" I took her downstairs despite her resistance and tossed her out of the house. "Ahhh…" Stella crashed on the porch and looked at me in disbelief. She could not believe that I had kicked her out of the house.She asked, "Are you for real? Are you kicking me out of the house for her?""Don't twist the story, Stella." I warned, "You know what you did to deserve this."Stella was currently wearing nothing but a red nightgown which I did not notice until now. It seemed like she was determined to seduce me today and that
Emma's POVI prepared to go to the hospital the next day. As I was leaving, I stopped in front of the coffee table. The resignation letter was still sitting soundly on top of it.I pulled my lips together, picked it up, and tossed it in the dustbin.No matter what. I wasn't going to let Draven dictate my life, especially after what he did last night.Yesterday was all the closure I ever needed. I was determined to rescue myself and my kids from the monster that he was.I walked into the hospital to be greeted by Merely, she told me that my uniform was here and I could pick it up. The day started as regular.I skipped breakfast today. I only looked forward to making breakfast because of Ashel and Asher. Without them, even the fanciest of meal looked bland and worthless.I headed to the canteen to look at what they had for us. One look at the food and I was taken over by instant regret, the food did not look the least bit apetzing.Two stale slices of bread with peanut butter along wit
Emma's POVI felt the tip of my fingers freeze as if they had been stuck inside the fridge. The Annual Ball was considered to be the most important event of the Council with a lot of VIPs attending it. I was a nobody, how would I even fit in there?Alex then said, "This year, I am hosting the Ball and representing the Werewolf Council. So I need to have a beautiful lady accompanying me.""Is that why you are inviting me? Because you believe I am beautiful?""What else? You are not some kind hearted medical genius, are you?" He said with a straight face before both of us started laughing.I said, "Congratulations on hosting the Ball this year, Alex. I appreciate the invitation but I don't think it is a good idea.""Why?" He crossed his arms around his chest, interrogating me like a school kid.I tucked my hair behind my hair and avoided looking into his eyes, "I don't belong there. I am just a normal wolf, what would I be doing there?""Be with me." He replied without skipping a beat,
Emma's POVAlex has always been spontaneous. Back when we were in the city, he would always show up at my house out of nowhere and take all of us on fun dates. So when he was asking me to be ready at this hour of the day, I was not surprised.I slipped into my jeans and put on a shirt, tied my hair up in a ponytail.My phone rang, indicating an incoming video call. My face immediately lit up at the sight of my two kids on the screen."Hi, mommy!!!!" Ashel squealed. Compared to her, Asher looked very less excited but I could say he was happy to see me."Hello, babies. How are you? Did you have your dinner?" I asked."We are good." Ashel said and started, "Dad got the cook to make us some French dishes."I controlled my sneer and said, "Did he now?""Yes, it was delicious. And you know what happened today. Asher and I…" The little girl started out excitedly but her elder brother took the phone from her, "Stop, Ashel. No one is interested in these useless things.""Hey!" The little girl
Emma's POVWe pulled up at the mall parking lot and I peeked out of the window to see that it looked closed. The lights were put out and there was no soul in sight.“See, I told you. It is closed.” Alex did not say anything, he turned off the engine right at the mall entrance and got out of the car. He came to the other side of the car and opened the door for me.I was confused, “What are we doing?”He helped me out of the car, explaining, “I got the mall to reopen.”“You did what?” A mask of surprise appeared on my face. Did he just say that he got the mall to remain open? As soon as he said it, the door of the mall was pulled open and two gentlemen donning suits came out. Both looked distinguished and I could say by their aura that they were important people.One of them started, “Mr Frost. Miss Whitemane. Welcome to our mall. I am Vance Digory, the Manager of this Mall. And this is my assistant, Francis.”“Hello.” I nodded, hiding partially behind Alex.Francis spoke up, “Mr Fors
Stella’s POVI left the house that night out of impulse but once I was on the highway and was made to stop at a red light, I realized that I had nowhere to go. My parents lived in their pack and it was a four-hour drive from Silvermoon. The mountain roads were dangerous for travel this late at night. And honestly, even if it was safe, I could not go there.My father was against me getting back together with Draven. Apparently, when I was still in a coma, my father fought with Draven over sending me back to my pack but the Alpha always refused, claiming that the Northern Pack did not have a good enough hospital to keep me alive.He was right. Northern Pack was not that advanced, so all the wolves came to the Silvermoon Pack for literally everything.My father finally agreed to let me stay at the Silvermoon pack on two conditions- first, Draven won’t touch me and second, when I wake up, he won’t force me to stay. I will have all the right to choose where I will stay.As soon as I woke u
Alex’s POVAfter we were done shopping, I sent her back home. I went back home and kept looking at the clock, hoping that it would speed up. I could not wait for tomorrow! She was going to look so good in that dress, that I could barely contain the excitement.I think it is a known fact amongst my peers that I like Emma. I have liked her since she saved my life in the woods that day.I lost my parents when I was young, I did not even know who they were, what was their rank, or what pack they belonged to. I grew up in an orphanage, which was just a bunch of lone wolves supporting each other.I just lead a normal life, wandering the forest. There was a time I even contemplated to join the rogues but the way they acted was repulsive. It was better to be a lone wolf than a rogue with no morals.When the rogues attacked me, I was ready to die. I had no purpose in life until I heard a voice screaming for me. I was at the edge of my consciousness but I could hear her voice, it was sweet and
Alex's POVUnexpected things when you least look forward to it. We found out that Emma was pregnant. I had nothing to say.Unlike typical men who would get pissed at seeing their love interest being pregnant with another guy, I was blank. I was determined to support her no matter what! If she wanted to keep the baby, I was willing to even step up as their father figure. But it was not that simple… What if she wants to get back together with him for the baby? What if he continues to mistreat her?Emma was extremely happy after she found out that she was pregnant and so was I seeing her like that, despite the things that were bugging me. Just when we thought that nothing extreme could happen now, she was arrested right in front of me for attempting to commit homicide on Stella.I was shocked beyond belief when I saw her getting dragged out of the hospital. I was only supposed to help her with her divorce but there was no way I was leaving her alone. I used my connection to pull out t
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
