Emma's POVI stood on my feet and looked at the man standing at the door like the Grim Reaper himself. 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 POVPetty?No.Petty would not even begin to describe him.I silently took the card and nodded. Draven did not stick there any longer and walked out of the door.Fine! Since he was so insistent that I spend his money, I will make sure he regrets it. It was not like I was getting any alimony from him, I might treat this as my little revenge.I drove to the nearest fancy restaurant where one meal cost in thousands. Even though it was not a rush hour, one required to reserve a table to go inside.I booked a table online and once it was confirmed, I drove over.I parked my car in the restaurant's parking lot and walked inside.To my surprise, I was stopped by the security.“You can't go inside.” The tall man in black suit said to me.“Why?” I asked, “I have made the reservation already.” I took my phone from my bag and proceeded to unlock it but he stopped me, “No. There is no need for this, you can't go inside.”I was starting to get frustrated now.I asked, “Why? Can you give me

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
Emma's POV Sometime after we dismissed the staff, Draven's legal team came with the business transfer contract. The owner of the restaurant signed but I could tell by his expressions that he was not happy about it. He started this business from scratch when he was very young and raised this empire with his blood, sweat, and tears. Even though Draven was paying thrice the price of the whole business, it still felt unjust to do something like this to him.I turned down the offer, Draven only asked me the reason once and when I told him my view on this, he respected this.He gave back the business to the owner who was smiling ear to ear after this. He thanked me for being grateful and apologized wholeheartedly for the inconvenience.Draven remembered to give him his one final warning and told him there wouldn't be any mercy the second time.The owner wanted to treat us to a meal but I turned it down.I had no appetite after all this and my only thoughts were to head back home.“Where a
Emma's POVIt only took a blink for the man to adjust his emotions and go back to being an expressionless robot. He came in and looked at her luggage, “You didn't tell me you were going to come back early.”“I wasn't planning to but my father told me about the fight that ensued in the territory. I was worried so I came back home.” Stella said with the same amazingly sweet smile.Bullshit! She was definitely lying! She must have heard that I was living in the Alpha's house, causing her to abandon whatever she was doing and head back home.Draven's reply was a small grunt. He was about to leave when Stella said, “You both are sleeping together?”“Huh?”“What?”Draven and I asked in unison. Stella apologetically giggled and said, “I saw Emma's things in this room. So I assumed she is staying in this room with you, Alpha.”I was about to say something but the Alpha interrupted me first.“Yes. We are sharing the same room.”I looked at Draven in shock. How can he say something this seriou
Emma's POVI stopped in my tracks with Asher and turned my head to look at the little girl looking up at her father. The whole garden fell eerily silent, it was so quiet that I could feel my heart pounding within me in nervousness.I stole a glance at Stella, she had stopped whatever she was typing on her laptop and was staring at her screen blankly. It was evident that her whole conversation was on the topic now, she did not want to make it obvious.I then looked at Draven, the man pulled the phone away from his ear and returned my gaze.Why was she asking him this?This was not part of the plan?I said, “Ashel, daddy won't be able to join us. See, he is busy.”“Is that true, Daddy?” The little girl's smile started to fade.“Yes.” Draven said in a stern tone. His reply visibly saddened the little girl. She was about to give up when the man disconnected his call without a warning. He put the phone inside his pocket and said, “But it's okay, we can go.”Ashel was thrilled and I was sho
Emma's POVWhen I turned around involuntarily to the voice that called me, all I could see was a pair of eyes with anger gleaming in them. Draven took long strides towards me, his eyes were locked with mine as if he was questioning me what was happening.I froze, my whole body shut down as if I had malfunctioned.“Draven…” Stella cried out, she sounded as if she was in pain. Her cry for help grabbed Draven's attention and he changed his course towards her. “Stella, are you okay?” He went inside the pond himself and helped her stand up. The girl stumbled before revealing a huge cut on her leg.Draven's expression turned angrier when he saw that she was bleeding.“Mom…” Ashel and Asher grabbed my hand but I stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.“What happened?” He asked.“I…” Stella looked at me and quivered, “I tried to initiate conversation with Emma but she kept being rude to me. When I asked her why she was angry, she told me that I was coming between you and her. She blamed
