Ducian's POV

My brain froze and I did not know what to say. And what was with the weird expression on her face? Is she thinking that I am some womanizer, meeting women at my office?

I did not want both of us to stare at each other awkwardly. If I could, I would just go back in time and stop myself from meeting Romona in the hospital. But since I could not because of scientific limitations, I chose to break the ice and asked, “Emma, what are you doing here?”

She immediately replied, “Doctor James, I swear to you I did not mean to eavesdrop.”

She was not even looking into my eyes.

Great, now she doesn't even want to see me, is she that disgusted?

I panicked and immediately explained, “No, it's okay. There is nothing going on between me and her. She is just a family friend.”

“Oh.” Her reply was bland and uninteresting. It was as if she wasn't even willing to listen to me, let alone believe my words.

I panicked more!

Was this the end of me and her? It did not even start yet and she was end

    Emma's POVAs my phone was ringing, my grip on it was tightening involuntarily and I slipped into a trance wondering if I should pick up the call or not. I broke out of my thoughts when my phone buzzed halfway through the call. It was him, saying- Pick up, I won't bite.I gulped and with trembling fingers proceeded to answer the call.I put it against my ear and muttered, “Hello.”There was no sound from the other side of the phone and it was eerily silent. I don't know why but a fear of something was growing inside me. This was a bad idea. I said in my head. This was a very bad idea!It was going to be a little over thirty seconds but there was still no response. It was not that there was complete nothingness on the other side of the phone.He was there. I could feel his dominating and ominous aura. He was lurking in the shadows as if he was watching his prey and waiting to hunt them.When I did not receive any response, I said, “Is anyone there?”Just then, a voice as deep as the t

    Emma's POVMy hand slightly trembled and I had to tighten my hold on my phone involuntarily lest it slip out of my grip. His words spiraled inside my head and for a moment I could not believe in my ears.Did he really say he knows the person responsible for the crash?Does this mean that I was right?It was not just a mere accident but a carefully planned assassination attempt.Every realization came concaving down on me, and I stood up as if I had been pricked. The silence of the call was disturbed by his lazy giggle, “You did not know, huh?”“I had a doubt but… never mind.” I did not want to tell him anything right now as there was something more important, “Tell me who was it?”“Woah, right to the business.” He commented.I replied, “I could have died that day. Do you understand the seriousness of this?”“But you did not die, so it is no longer important.”“It is.” I said, “There is someone out there who is trying to kill me. I need to catch him before he harms me and my kids again

    Emma's POVI pursed my lips as my eyes squinted themselves. “How do you know that he won't try to harm me?”His voice turned more and more serious as he uttered these words, “I won't let anything in this world touch even a strand of your hair.”Goosebumps.I felt goosebumps surfaced all over my body when he said something like this. Since the day I have come in contact with this guy, I know he is not the kind to mess around with. I have not known him for much long and even this was my first time talking to him but I can say by the kind of vibe he was emitting, he was the kind who would not hesitate to hurt people.I cleared my throat and tried to lighten up the conversation, “So, you are like my personal bodyguard?”“I want to be more than that.”“What?” I asked, “A friend?”He grunted, clearly annoyed, “You won't ever let me be cheesy, will you?”“No, I won't. You can always try somewhere else though.”“Not interested.” I heard him stand up from his chair and the sound of his shoes

    Emma's POVDoctor James? My immediate reaction was to look over at the clock. I was not mistaken, it was indeed 2 in the morning.Why is he calling me at this hour of the day?I picked up the call and said, “Hello, doctor? Is everything alright?”“Emma! Thank God you are not asleep.” This was my first time hearing such panic in his voice. He said, “Something happened and I need to perform an immediate surgery. I need you.”I immediately yanked my bedsheets off me and stood up on my feet, “What happened, doctor? Who is the patient?”“I don't have time to explain all this. Get ready, I will pick you up from your house in five minutes.”He quickly hung up and I rushed into a state of panic as well. I put on the nearest outfit I could find and threw in a jacket before literally running out of the house. Doctor James's car came to a halt right in front of me.He looked at me and said, “Get in.” I opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down inside. “Doctor, is everything alright?”

    Emma's POVPatients tend to respond to a certain level during or post-surgery but Romona did not. Her body was functioning but she was unresponsive which meant that she was currently in a vegetative state with no fixed time of waking up.This was very crucial information that the patient's family should have known but why did he skip it? Did he forget? No, that was unlike him. “Doctor?” I called him out, making him snap out of his thoughts. I asked, “Why did you not tell this to them?”“It's too early. What if it is just a temporary state and she wakes up? I don't want them to panic for nothing.”“Doctor, I don't want to put them in that state either but what if she doesn't wake up soon. They are going to ask questions and we won't have any answers at that time.”Ducian fell mum and seemed to be having a conflict amongst himself over what to do. I understood his position, they were close to him and it would put him in a challengingposition to reveal something like this to them. I s

My vision was blurry just like my thought process and I had no idea what was going on. I looked around to find myself in something which seemed to be moving and then I slowly made out that I was in the backseat of some car.The backseat of a car? How did I end up here?My head was dizzy and I needed some assistance. I tried to call out but realized that there was a cloth around my mouth, obstructing me from making any sound. My eyes flew open and I involuntarily tried to sit up straight. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that either as my arms and legs were tied.Panic took over me and I was fully awake at this point. I managed to look around and saw the driver who was driving the car.The fuss I was creating seemed to have attracted his attention. He turned to look around at me and smiled creepily, jumping start my memories.It was the same face I had seen before my memories

    Draven's POV“Hey, this is Emma. Leave your message after the beep.” As soon as I heard this announcement, I pulled the phone away from my ear in annoyance. The mask of anger on my face was noticed by my daughter who was sitting on the sofa next to me.Holding the stuffed, pink bunny which was almost half her size, she asked, “Did Mom not pick up the call?”I looked at my phone and shrugged, “Yes.”Emma and I were supposed to take the kids shopping today. They were starting school in a few days since it was a huge milestone in their life, and they wanted their mother involved.I informed her about it days ago and asked her to keep her schedule clear. She agreed to it but now was not picking up my calls.“Can we please wait a little longer? Maybe she is busy.” The little girl pleaded in the most adorable voice possible. “Of course, sweetheart.” I said and petted her head.

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.

    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

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

    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 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
