Emma's POV

I stepped back and clutched my heart, “Gosh, you scared me.”

The man did not say anything and went back to sit on the sofa, typing something on his laptop. I picked out a set of pajamas, I was surprised that he even had the ones I was contemplating throwing away back then.

I shut the closet door in a daze and asked, “Why do you still have my clothes?”

“Huh?”Draven looked up from his laptop. He saw the pajamas in my hand and guessed what I must have asked him. He said, “I could not make myself throw them away.”

I could feel my heart pound inside me rapidly, “Why?”

“I don’t know. I just felt like not throwing them away.”

I then asked, “Is Stella okay with this?”

“She doesn’t know.”

I cocked an eyebrow, “What do you mean she doesn’t know?”

The man explained, “She doesn’t come to my room very often and the wardrobe stays locked all the time. I got it opened today because you were staying.”

“...” I did not know what to say or what was more strange- the fact that he hid this from

Probably the new people entering her life, is her powerful family who will help her avenge her, she has to divorce since the book title already stated she will become an Alfa after the divorce. Just hope she would become more powerful, she is weak for a female lead.

I hope Draven really groves and works hard to win her back. Tired of those books that the male can sleep around and the female stays like a saint. He needs to see that someone else is really interested in her and will fight for her.

    Emma's POV“Yaay!” Ashel jumped off my lap and hugged Draven's tall legs.Asher was stunned, he looked at his father as if he had betrayed him and asked, “I think we talked this through.”“I know and I respect your points. They were valid. But it is my personal choice.” The Alpha said like a wise sage. I don't know why but I was angered by his sudden switch in answer. Did he have to be so petty to go all the way to change his philosophy just to go against me?I sneered, “It is easy for you to say. I am rich.”“You are right. I am rich, that is why I am more eligible to give this answer.” The man picked up Ashel and made her sit next to him, “Money can buy you luxury but as Ashel said, it can't buy you happiness. You need a family for that!” Draven put extra stress on his last sentence. I could not understand what he was trying to say, I asked, “It is all just for show. Tell me, would you give up on your wealth for your kids?”“I will.” He said without hesitation. Asher interjected,

Emma never told me that she was in love with me since she was in college. I was not stupid, I knew how Omegas were treated in my pack. She threw away her whole life just to be near me, who does that? I regretted treating her so awfully and blaming her for marrying me just for money. I was so wrong and the guilt was eating me up.I wanted to make it up to her! I wanted to treat her in the way I should have treated her when she

    Emma's POV I did not know when I dozed off last night, the last thing I remember was watching Draven go into the shower. I was in the spring's field with my kids! The three of us were sitting on a blue and white checkered blanket. The sun was yellow and there was a picnic basket lying next to us. I picked out an apple and was slicing it for my kids when Ashel poked me with her tiny fingers. “What is it, dear?” I asked her and she pointed at something beside me. There was a dreaded look on her face which promoted me to look back immediately.There, between the bushes, I saw a huge black wolf staring at me with bloodshot eyes.“Hello?” I called out but the wolf stood unmoving. There was something about the way the beast was staring at me which disturbed me. It felt as if its gaze was piercing through my soul.Then it hit me. I recognised this wolf. It was Strix!I jolted my eyes open; it was all a dream, except for one part. Draven was right there next to the bed, staring at me as

There was no expression on his face so I could not determine if he was okay or if he was furious.And why is he back so soon? I was promised that he won't come back for another hour.I stood there awkwardly as he made his way inside. He leisurely removed his jacket and sat down on his chair.The silence between us was awkwardly suffocating and I was growing desperate to change the topic. I said, “So, how are you feeling?”He checked his hand which was covered in bandages and said, “I don't know.” He shoved his hand towards me and said, “Check.”I kept my kit on the table and took out a scissor from it. I used it to cut open the bandage, as expected of an Alpha wolf, his wound was cured.Seeing that I was closing my kit, he asked, “Are you not going to bandage me?”“Why?” I asked, “It is cured. You are free to use this hand now.”“Oh.” He said slowly. Draven sat there silently while

    Emma's POV“Alpha.” The staff immediately stood upright and lowered their gazes. Draven glared at them and did not acknowledge their greetings. Instead, he looked down at me and asked, “Are you okay?”I steered my eyes away from him and blinked my eyes furiously to fight back my tears. “I am fine.” My voice cracked and he seemed to have noticed it. Without a warning, he pinched my cheek and forced me to look up.His eyes widened in shock when he saw the tears in mine.He asked in a murderous tone, “What happened?”“It's nothing. Let's go.” I tried to walk past him and go outside but before I could, he grabbed my hand and forced me to stop. He asked again, his tone far scarier than the last time, “I asked what happened.”When the man uses his Alpha tone, there is nothing much we can do other than succumb to his orders.I narrated everything that happened to him and watched his expression turn from ugly to worse.After I was done talking, he directly looked up at the two staff behind

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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
