Emma's POV

Alex threw all the excuses he could think of and the Alpha had a counter solution for everything. After trying unsuccessfully a few times, the man finally gave up and left.

“I will call you.” Alex waved goodbye at me and closed the door behind him.

As soon as Alex said that he would call me, Draven, who was walking towards my bedside muttered under his breath, “We will see.”

I almost choked on my own saliva when I heard him say that. Maybe Draven thought that he was being very subtle with that but I managed to hear it.

He did not seem to notice that I had heard him and pretended to be oblivious as well. But I could no longer handle the flowers sprouting within me.

I felt like I was sucked back to the time when we were still in college and how I used to get happy by something as insignificant as him acknowledging my greetings. The feelings erupting inside me were uncontrollable and the fact that we hate each other was slowly slipping out of my senses.

    Emma's POVThat night, after we returned home, Draven decided to stay and I did not stop him. To be honest, I just couldn't make myself ask him to leave. I was strangely craving his presence, I don't know why.I was on the balcony, looking at the vast night sky and pondering to myself. Draven joined me and stood next to me, “Hi.”“Hey.” I smiled.He passed me the robe and said, “It is cold.”He was right, it was indeed freezing and my frail pyjama fabrics weren't helping me much either. I accepted the robe from him and put it on.Draven noticed that I was deeply in thought about something. He asked, “What are you thinking about?”At first, I wanted to dismiss it as nothing significant but I ended up telling him the truth, “It's the kids. I feel like they are growing up too fast.”“Too fast? How?”“I don't know.” I said honestly, “It was just yesterday I feel like they were born and tomorrow they are starting school.”Draven was really empathetic, he said, “It happens but they are not

    Emma's POVThe alarm woke me up the next day and I could see the sun shining brightly out of the window. I stretched and held the blanket close to my chest to cover my naked body. A drowsy smile painted my face when I remembered the previous night.Draven and I had slept together a lot of times but none of those times could compare to what we shared last night. He was extremely gentle, treating my body like a shrine and loving me till I was overwhelmed. I did not know that he was capable of being so passionate and loving. In short, he just blew my mind. Earlier, I used to be extremely repulsed by his advances but last night when he took the lead, I was not at all uncomfortable and gladly let my guards down. Even Draven seemed to have had a change of heart regarding me.Our dynamics have changed completely and none of us were feeling alarmed or threatened by it.Damn…If I knew it was this easy to fix my relationship and save my marriage, I would have got myself kidnapped and touched

Her dress was one from the latest collection of Thomas Haves, one of the most celebrated designer in the world. For her to get her hands over it just few days after it's launch, she must be mad rich.

This was how the Alphas established their rule, it was a rude awakening to all the wolves to remember their position.After he made sure that he had the crowd dominated, he spoke up, “I have been silent for too long but let me remind you that the woman you are talking about is my Luna. Speaking ill about her is like directly insulting me.”He further added, “She is not a mistress. I accepted her as my lawfully wedded wife under the werewolf norms nine years ago when Stella was not even in the picture. I am tired of everyone misunderstanding my wife and want this to end right now, right here. If anyone wants to have a say in this, can speak up now.”Everyone avoided making eye contact with him and were too scared to speak up. Draven nodded and said, “That's what I thought.”He then turned to the parent who was fighting with us and asked, “You, what pack are you from?”The woman looked scared b

Now that Draven told me that Stella went and cried her a river, I knew she would come to find trouble with me.Even in the past, Sherry hated me not because I was not a good daughter-in-law or because I didn't treat her well.

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.

    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

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Can I come along?

    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.

    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
