Draven's POV

I was in the back of the car, staring at my laptop which was currently displaying Emma's drawing room. The whole house was silent and there was no visible movement until the bedroom road creaked open.

Emma lurched out of the room with a towel wrapped around her body. She looked dull and lifeless, making her way into the shower.

I shut down the laptop screen and looked away unbothered.

I was in a terrible mood because of what happened but I could not present my temperament to Stella. If she asked what was wrong, I wouldn't be able to lie and another fight was the last thing I wanted at this moment.

Robin drove me home and dropped me off, he suggested walking me in but I asked him to get back home as it was already late.

I noticed that the light in my room was still bright, indicating that Stella had not gone to sleep and was waiting for me. I took in a deep breath and walked in.

As I expected, the girl launched herself into my arms as soon as I walked in through my bedr

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

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,

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

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

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

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.

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

    Draven's POVI looked him dead in the eye and said in the most impolite tone possible, “Stay out of this, Alex. You have no idea what you are dealing with. This is family business.”The mutt did not say anything but he did not break eye contact either. It was as if he was challenging me.Before I could say anything, Emma spoke up in her meek voice, “Let's not do this here…”I gave Alex a scornful look before asking Emma why she did not heed my order and come back to the pack. The Emma I have known for so long was not this irresponsible and definitely not someone who would put our kids at risk. I was desperate to know what changed.“I did not know it was serious.”Did not think it was serious? I did not know how to react to it. How can a summon given to the entire pack by the Alpha himself not be of importance? Why would anyone think it was not important unless…My eyes widened in shock as I realised.

    Draven's POVThe sound of the private jet’s engines faded as I descended the steps onto the Hawaiian tarmac, my strides purposeful and my mind consumed with worry. I didn't even have the time to properly pack or prepare. The moment I got to know that the children were missing, everything else had ceased to matter. Emma. The kids. My entire focus was on finding them and bringing them home. The sun blazed overhead, its warmth doing nothing to thaw the ice in my veins. As I approached the sleek black SUV waiting to take me to Emma’s resort from where the kids had vanished, Robin jogged up beside me. His phone was in his hand and his serious face was grim. "I just got the word." Robin said, falling into step, “Miss Whitemane has been arrested."I froze as his words didn’t register at first, "What did you just say?""Arrested.” Robin repeated, "Apparently, she caused a scene trying to find the kids. Police didn’t take kindly to it."My jaw tightened, the veins in my neck throbbing. A

    Draven's POVThe scout barely had time to catch his breath as he came rushing into my cabin, “Alpha, we have an emergency.”The panic on his face was evident and I looked at Robin wordlessly. This matter seemed to require my urgent attention, so I hung up on the call and looked at him, “What happened!”The scout caught his breath and said, “We have new intel about the Rogues.”My eyebrows furrowed themselves and my ears perked up. It was never good news when it was about the Rogues.“They are rallying up into an organized force this time, not the usual scatterbrained attacks. Worse, they have a new benefactor, someone powerful enough to pull their strings.”“What?” Robin was shook. Someone was helping the Rogues? Why would anyone want to help those sinister, good for nothing?I inquired, “Are we positive?”“Yes. We are positive.” The scout, “Whatever they are planning, it is huge.”The implications were clear: danger wasn’t lurking in the shadows anymore; it was at the gates.I didn’
