Emma's POV

We pulled up at the mall parking lot and I peeked out of the window to see that it looked closed. The lights were put out and there was no soul in sight.

“See, I told you. It is closed.”

Alex did not say anything, he turned off the engine right at the mall entrance and got out of the car. He came to the other side of the car and opened the door for me.

I was confused, “What are we doing?”

He helped me out of the car, explaining, “I got the mall to reopen.”

“You did what?” A mask of surprise appeared on my face. Did he just say that he got the mall to remain open?

As soon as he said it, the door of the mall was pulled open and two gentlemen donning suits came out. Both looked distinguished and I could say by their aura that they were important people.

One of them started, “Mr Frost. Miss Whitemane. Welcome to our mall. I am Vance Digory, the Manager of this Mall. And this is my assistant, Francis.”

“Hello.” I nodded, hiding partially behind Alex.

Francis spoke up, “Mr Fors

And honestly, even if it was safe, I could not go there.My father was against me getting back together with Draven.

She was going to look so good in that dress, that I could barely contain the excitement.I think it is a known fact amongst my peers that I like Emma. I have liked her since she saved my life in the woods that day.I lost my parents when I was young, I did not even know who they were, what was their rank, or what pack they belonged to. I grew up in an orphanage, which was just a bunch of lone wolves supporting each other.I just lead a normal life, wandering the forest. There was a time I even contemplated to join the rogues but the way they acted was repulsive.

I was at the edge of my consciousness but I could hear her voice, it was sweet and

Here to meet Miss Whitemane again?" The man asked as he pressed the buttons to open the gate."Yes." I said, "She is my plus one to the ball.""That's cool." The man smiled. Emma always forbade me from talking about her to anyone, thinking that it would give them the wrong ideas but I was going to not listen to her tonight. She was my date to the ball and everyone was going to find out about it.I stopped at the parking lot closest to her block and called her. "Hey, are you here?"

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Why does Emma hate me?

    Emma's POVI was stunned at Alex’s answer; it started off normally but he ended it in a vague way. As soon as these words left his mouth, the reporters started to note them down furiously. This moment I knew what would be the front page headline in tomorrow’s newspaper. Alex excused us and folded up the interview, all this while I kept a pretentious smile on my face. We hooked hands and went inside the lobby, when I made sure that no one could hear us, I asked, “What was that?”“What was what?”“Your answer. You just gave them a free scoop.” I said.“No, I did not. I was merely stating the fact that you might start dating someone in the future. I just said that it could also be me.”“Yeah… But… We are not ever gonna date, Alex. we are just friends.” I said hesitantly. I did not want to beat around the bush or hurt him with my blunt honesty.He stopped and turned his head towards me, reaching out to tuck my bangs behind my ears, "But the Alpha doesn't know that."Just when he said thos

I can't believe people can be so shameless.''Not only did she do something so heinous, she even dared to bully Miss Gracy.'I could hear the cacophony of people trashing me loud and clear, it was as if they were not even trying to be discreet. Some people came to comfort Stella as she kept sobbing. "What is happening here? What is with all the crowd?" A haughty, feminine voice rang behind my back. I furrowed my eyebrows and turned around to see if it was who I thought it was. I was not mistaken, it was indeed Desiree Sinclair.Desiree was Draven's younger sister.

He said, "We can leave if you want.""No, are you crazy? Why would we leave? We just arrived." "Are you not bothered by the people talking?""I am not. All I want is to get my divorce papers signed by Draven. I am willing to do whatever it takes."Alex and I walked over to the bar and ordered ourselves a margarita. I was an occasional drinker and today seemed to be a good enough occasion to get drunk. We both sat on the chair next to the stand and were waiting for our drinks. Just then, one of his colleagues walked over and whispered something in his ear.Alex listened to him calmly and asked, "Do I have to come over right now?""I would say. The higher-ups are waiting."

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

    Emma's POVMy mind was unable to process what was going on. Draven asked, “So, you were not intending to return my son if I stepped down from the position?”“Yes. We don't even have your son, Alpha.” The man said.“Where is he? How can I get him back?”“No idea.” He shrugged, “Maybe the group who has your son has a second task for you.”Draven was silent for a while, staring blankly at the screen. We could feel the tension well up in the room as his gaze intensified. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle confusing everyone.He let out a cold laughter before stopping abruptly, “The day I find you, I will wipe out your entire clan.”The man grunted before saying, “We will see about that. As for now, come get your kid.”The line went silent, indicating that the call was hung up.Draven stood up and came out of the room, I rushed to him immediately. Even though I heard everything, I was still in denial that our situation was so messed up. I asked him, “How is everything? You will get the kids b

    Emma's POVDraven's phone beeped, notifying him of an incoming message. He checked it and the expression on his face told me that it was from those men. He said, “Okay, I will go now.”The Alpha played smart here and decided to attend the video call from the investigation room. Not only was there a camera to record everything, even we could watch everything unfold through the one way mirror. Before the call, Draven made sure to alter the investigation room to look more like a hotel room. He did not want the kidnappers to get the hint that we were already in talks with the cops.I was shivering involuntarily watching all of this unfold, and Alex was always there to tell me that it was alright and that we would find the kids. I didn't even have the strength in me to respond to him, all I did was nod mindlessly while my eyes were hooked on Draven.He sat down on the chair and opened the laptop in front of him. His fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a symphony out of the clicking

    Emma's POVThe tension in the air was suffocating as I paced the small room, my heart racing in sync with my restless thoughts. The kids…Draven…The pack…Everything was in shambles, all because of me. I looked at Draven, he had been silent since the call was hung up. It was worrying me more and more. I have always seen him as a man who was clear about his next move, it was my first time seeing him so clueless. It was haunting me.Alex stood by my side protectively, even though he was bleeding he refused to leave me alone. I know he was blaming himself deep down as well. Just then I saw Robin walk into the room, his pace as brisk as always.“Alpha!” He greeted Draven who was silently staring at his phone.The man nodded his head in acknowledgment and asked, “Do we have anything?”Robin nodded and said, “They were smart and kept their IP bouncing but we managed to find their location. They are in the forest near the pack.”My eyes widened, a flicker of hope piercing through the dark

It was as if he was challenging me.Before I could say anything, Emma spoke up in her meek voice, “Let's not do this here…”I gave Alex a scornful look before asking Emma why she did not heed my order and come back to the pack. The Emma I have known for so long was not this irresponsible and definitely not someone who would put our kids at risk. I was desperate to know what changed.“I did not know it was serious.”Did not think it was serious? I did not know how to react to it.

    Draven's POVThe sound of the private jet’s engines faded as I descended the steps onto the Hawaiian tarmac, my strides purposeful and my mind consumed with worry. I didn't even have the time to properly pack or prepare. The moment I got to know that the children were missing, everything else had ceased to matter. Emma. The kids. My entire focus was on finding them and bringing them home. The sun blazed overhead, its warmth doing nothing to thaw the ice in my veins. As I approached the sleek black SUV waiting to take me to Emma’s resort from where the kids had vanished, Robin jogged up beside me. His phone was in his hand and his serious face was grim. "I just got the word." Robin said, falling into step, “Miss Whitemane has been arrested."I froze as his words didn’t register at first, "What did you just say?""Arrested.” Robin repeated, "Apparently, she caused a scene trying to find the kids. Police didn’t take kindly to it."My jaw tightened, the veins in my neck throbbing. A

This matter seemed to require my urgent attention, so I hung up on the call and looked at him, “What happened!”The scout caught his breath and said, “We have new intel about the Rogues.”My eyebrows furrowed themselves and my ears perked up. It was never good news when it was about the Rogues.“They are rallying up into an organized force this time, not the usual scatterbrained attacks. Worse, they have a new benefactor, someone powerful enough to pull their strings.”“What?” Robin was shook. Someone was helping the Rogues? Why would anyone want to help those sinister, good for nothing?I inquired, “Are we positive?”“Yes. We are positive.” The scout, “Whatever they are planning, it is huge.”The implications were clear: danger wasn’t lurking in the shadows anymore; it was at the gates.I didn’
