I walked out of my study after finishing a pile of work. It was already half past one and the whole house was dead silent. I was passing through the stairs to reach my bedroom when I picked on something moving on the couch from my peripheral vision.

I turned my head to see Emma tossing and turning on the rigid couch.

I stopped and sighed, she could not sleep just as I had warned.

I went downstairs to talk to her.

I did not tell this to anyone but after Alex visited me in my office the other day, I could not take my mind off what all he said to me.

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.

    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

    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

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The Alpha was Ruthless

    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

It was a fun day, I had even bought a dessert along with me which Xavier said was the restaurant’s delicacy. I was excited to try it with my kids and talk to them about their day.I walked in on the door to see the whole house engulfed in a strange atmosphere. The housekeepers were eerily quiet as they did their work and looked as if they were under some pressure.I removed my bag and kept it on the floor, asking, “Hey, what is wrong? Why do you all look so weird?”Jada, who was busy changing the tablecloth, shivered visibly when I spoke up. “Miss Whitemane…” She spoke softly, a mask of fear in her face.I furrowed, seeing her change the tablecloth. I asked, “What are you doing? Why are you tidying up the table out of the blue? And where did you get that tablecloth from, don't remember buying it.”“Because I asked her to.” Draven spoke up from behind me, scaring the literal hell ou

    Emma's POVXavier looked very passionate as he looked at the menu and explained everything to me, but I could hardly keep my cool, given how close and intimate we were. My breathing was turning hot and even my wolf was reacting strangely to his scent.I was not aroused but something was making it hard for me to sit straight.Was I… nervous?I was so lost in thought that I missed everything that he explained. Xavier asked what I wanted to eat and was waiting for my answer which, obviously, he didn't get because I was lost in thoughts.Seeing that I was replying, he looked back and asked, “Are you okay, doll?”I shook from my fantasies and nodded, “I am sorry, I was thinking something.Xavier smirked cheekily as if he had read my thoughts and said, “No problem. I can go over all this again if you want.”“No. I don't want you to waste any more of your time.” I took the menu from his hand and admitted defeat, “Can you just suggest me beginner-friendly dishes?”“Umm… I don't know your tast

    Emma's POVI sent both the girls and made sure they boarded safely in the car. I trusted Xavier and his men, the girls were in safe hands. Xavier and I watched as the car departed from the parking lot. “They are nice. No wonder you said you liked working.” The man commented.I nodded with a smile, “They are the only people in this pack who actually treat me with respect. For others, my existence is not even worth acknowledging.”“What are you saying? I heard you did a lot of things for the pack. You even solved some rogue issue.”“Yeah, I did.” I said, “It was just a two-day pomp and joy. After the sand settled, I was back to being the plain, old, wolfless girl hated by the entire pack.”Xavier did not say anything about the fact that I was wolfless. So I asked, “You have nothing to say?”“About what?”“Me being wolfless.”“I don't care about it.” He said, “You are better than many wolves I know.”I smiled to conceal my self-pity, “That is what I tell myself to.” Neither of us was d

I am sorry!” He immediately pulled out his keys and unlocked his handcuffs.By the time he was done releasing Xavier, a set of three black cars rolled inside the premises. A tall, lean man wearing spectacles got out of the car and made his way towards Xavier.“Boss, are you alright?” This man was Brandon, Xavier's assistant and the one who had been representing him all these years.If people had any doubt regarding Xavier's claims, it must have vanished the second Brando

Wilson sold Florence to XS Group.”“What? When?”“A few days ago. Wilson is not the boss anymore.”“So… the new boss would be the CEO of XS?”I picked up from the conversation. I had no idea that Xavier had bought Florence, but I wasn't surprised; he had already mentioned that he was here to expand his business. What better way to expand your business than by buying the largest commercial hub of the pack?The words that XS bought the bar quickly spread amongst the group and it caused a whole other set of arguments.“Ain’t no way he is Xavier Stone!”“He could be. No one has ever seen him in real life.”“Yes, no one has ever seen him. He is always secretive about his identity.”“Exactly. There is no way he would hang out here and reveal himself just like that.”“This man is looking for troubles, that's it

We are coming back from work, we don't have time to put on something fancy for a bar.”“That sounds like a ‘you’ problem. I have seen plenty like you; you get your sugar daddy to get you the membership and walk in with your poor etiquette, corrupting the whole environment.”“Mister, watch your tone.” Sonia stepped in to defend me, “You can't just bad mouth us by assuming random things.”“I am assuming?” The guard laughed, “Florence is not a place everyone can hang out in. Just look around, this is not the place you belong.”I said, “We might not have money to squander on fancy dresses like this, but it doesn't mean that we don't fit in here, or you can stop us from entering.”“Yes, the only thing that we need to enter is the membership and we have that right here.” Sonia added.The guard, however, refused to

Of course, he is rich.”Sonia grinned, “What is his name? Is he single? Is he looking for a date?”I nodded, “He is single but I don't know if he is looking for a date.”“Oh, no worries. I would just like to know him.” She waved her hand, “What does he do?”“He is a businessman. He is currently in our pack to open a new branch here.”“Wow, he sounds super rich.”I shrugged my shoulders, “You can say that.”Sonia said, “I am intrigued.
