Emma's POVI 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
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,
Draven's POV 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.I wanted to make it up to her! I wanted to treat her in the way I should have treated her when she
Draven's POV Everything was going well…Stella and I became close. My parents were right, she was the perfect Luna.Do you know how you grow to like someone when you are forced into close proximity? I did not know if I loved Stella but I was comfortable enough to spend the rest of my life with her.Then! When I was finally making peace with everything, Emma came to disrupt my life.I hated her at first but… The way she was reluctant to be with me, the way she stuck by my side even when I shoved her aside! I know my mom and sister, they are monsters. I saw how they used to treat her! If it was someone else, they would have left me long ago but Emma stayed.Even though she was wolfless and not a higher ranker within the pack, Emma was a very good Luna.The pack never acknowledged her and I never marked her yet she went above and beyond to make sure that the Silver Moon Pack was taken care of. I liked her. That day when we had sex, it was not because I had to buy because I wanted to.
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
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
