Emma's POV

I took the plate from him and nodded my thank you. In the shock of what all happened, I totally forgot that I had only bought one portion of the meal only for him. I stopped him, “I only got food for you. That won't be enough for you.”

“It's ok. We can buy more later. There is no way I will eat without you.” Alex said as he made a seat for himself in the bed.

I was not hungry and did not need the food right now but the way he was not willing to eat without me was warming up my heart. No one, not even my parents, have ever done this for me.

I silently took a spoonful and put it in my mouth.

Alex asked, “So, what happened?”

“Huh?” I lifted my head in a daze.

“The Stella situation.” He said, “I was… unconscious so I don't know what happened.”

I was so absent minded that I realized that I had forgotten the reason why I came here. I put the plate on the table and stood up, “Alex, I am so sorry you got hurt because of me. You had to go through a surgery and I am so stupid that I d

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Hello, baby doll

    Emma's POVAlex kept mum and looked at me for a while. I looked up at him, my vision was blurry because of my tears and I could not clearly see the expression on his face. I said, “I am not worthy of this. Don't torment yourself because of me.”I could not hold myself back anymore and let the tears pour down my cheeks. Alex finally spoke up, “Emma, I disagree with you.” “W-What?” He said, “Who made you feel like you are not worth it? You deserve more than the love I can ever give you.”“Why would you say that? I brought you nothing but misery.”“Whatever you give, even if it is misery, is a reward to me.” The man commented solemnly, “And it is my choice. I want to keep receiving it.”“I…” I choked on my tears. Alex reached out to wipe my tears but for some reason stopped midway. He withdrew his and and handed me a tissue instead, “Here, wipe your tears first.”I took the tissue from him and blew into it like a kid. While I was doing it, he said, “Emma. I don't want to hurt you but

    Emma's POV“Hello, baby doll.” The man who said this had a mask on his face and only his eyes were visible. The dim lighting of the car wasn't helping me much either but his voice was imprinted in my head. “X?” I said and he shrugged his shoulders, “Did not expect me, did you?”“W-What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?”I could not believe that he was in front of me, in flesh and blood. I knew I was going to meet him but I never knew it would be today.“Your friend was admitted and you were not home. I made a lucky guess, I guess.” He said before signaling for me to come in, “Hop in.”“No.” I said. There was no way I was getting in the car with him. I don't even know if it was really him or just an imposter. Also, even if it was him, I don't know what his intentions were.“Why not?” He put his elbow on his seat and looked at me.I said, “I… I don't know what your intentions are. You can't just show up here and ask me to come with you. I don't even know you.”“Then let

    Emma's POVI did not know what to do, I just stood there not knowing how to react.Why would he give me his gun?Does he trust me so much that I won't try to misuse the opportunity?Is it some kind of conspiracy to drag me down?Is that gun even real?X furrowed his eyebrows and bent down to match my height, “What is going on inside your tiny brain?”“I don't know if I can trust you.” I said, “I don't even know if you are real.”His eyes softened and he pulled back. He took out his phone and with a single hand, tapped a few times on the screen with his thumb. Once he stopped, my phone vibrated and I checked it.It was a message from X, saying, ‘I am real.’My grip on my phone tightened. There was no denying it anymore! He is indeed the man I have been talking with all this time.I had so many questions in my head.Why did he show up now?Why is he no longer keeping his identity a secret?What are his motives?I opened my mouth to say something but he interfered with me before I could

    Alex's POVAfter Emma left, I fell back on the bed and looked out of the window. What happened today felt like a bittersweet dream to me. She was right there, I had almost kissed her but then I was reminded that I can never be the one she loves. I realized that all I could do was maybe sway her for a moment but I could never have her heart.I don't know what was holding her back.She was no longer in love with Draven.There was no one who was courting her as far as I know.What exactly was it that I lacked that was holding her from giving me a chance?I might never know.I have been rejected so many times by her.

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   I wanna be friends

    Alex's POVI was at a loss for words now and my eyes involuntarily scanned Desiree’s face with eyes of suspicion. She looked me back in the eye and all I could see behind those carefully eye-lined eyes were nothing but remorse.I shook my head slightly and saw her again. She was not lying. She seemed to mean everything she had just said.I said, “There is nothing to clear between us. You can leave.”I yanked my bedsheet and stepped out of my bed to go out for some fresh air. I thought my business was done here but she was stubborn. She stood in front of me, barring my path, “Please don't say that. You hate me. I don't want that.”“Why do you care if I hate you or not? I am friends with Emma; I am an enemy, too.” I stepped back, distancing myself from her.She said, “Emma is not my enemy. Why would you think that?”“Are you seriously asking me that after treating her like shit all these years?”Desiree lowered her eyes when she was asked that question. She said, “You can't blame me. S

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The Xavier Stone

    Emma's POVThe car was awfully silent as we drove down that lonely road. As we went further and further, away from the city, everything was getting silent and peaceful. I looked out of the window, enjoying the moon which was illuminating the night sky.Xavier looked over at me and said, “You are quiet.”“Hmmm?” I was startled and looked over at him.He smiled like a devil seeing me all fidgety and scared. He said, “It's hilarious.”“What is?”“You being so scared after talking so big in call.”My face flushed out of embarrassment and I looked away, refusing to participate in the conversation.He added, “You are so fearless all the time, but why are you being a scared kitten around me.”“I don't know. Maybe because I don't know you and you are taking me to some place I don't even know about.”He pretended to pout, “You cannot complain about me taking you out. I have made sure you have everything to feel safe. I even gave you my gun.”I had no answer for this. He did go above and beyond

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   How about we kill her

    Emma's POV“Like it?” He asked as he leaned on the car dashboard.“I love it. It's so beautiful.” I said with a smile.“I am glad.” I heard him say. I inhaled the pollution-free air of the hill; it was something I had never experienced before.I don't know when was the last time I found Silvermoon beautiful. Every time I looked at it, all I felt was hatred and disgust. The silence was hindered by the sound of a lighter being flicked. I turned around to see Xavier trying to light up a cigarette.“Hey.” I said and he looked up at me. I shook my head negatively and he understood what I meant.He flicked the lighter close and tucked it in his back pocket, “The lady doesn't like smoke?”“I don't mind usually but don't do it now.” I said, “Besides, is it fun to slowly kill yourself? You might as well jump down this hill if you are so keen on taking your own life.”“I play with my life enough.” He said and stood next to me. He said, “You know, this is my favorite place. I come here whenever

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Nothing but Trouble

    Emma's POVXavier has so many things like this that I could not understand if he was just joking or actually meaning those.I asked, trying to force a smile, “You are joking, right?”He did not say anything but the eerie silence was a resounding answer. I said, “Xavier, are you seriously contemplating killing someone?”“Yeah. What's the problem? She leaves Earth and leaves along with her your problems. Besides…” His tone turned chilling as he said, “She had the guts to even think about hurting you. She needs to face the consequences of hurting something I am protecting.”“You are out of your mind! You won't do any such thing.” At this point, I did not even consider the possibility that maybe killing someone is not within his power. I have seen his men kill my kidnappers mercilessly, that was enough to speak volumes about him as their boss.I said, “Also, Draven won't let it go if you hurt her.”“I will also take care of Draven.” My face turned as pale as a ghost, and I just stared at

    Emma's POVXavier dropped me off at the gates of my complex and I walked in after saying my good nights. 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.
