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 Became An Alpha After Divorce Like a King
Emma's POV'I did not know she tricked the Alpha into marrying her. No wonder he hated her so much.''This is despicable. How can you even think about stealing your friend's man when they are in a coma.''She acted like a saint and demanded divorce as if she was not the one in the wrong. 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. She was in Italy all this time, pursuing her career in fashion design. She left the pack when I was still with Draven, when did she come ba
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Not my Alpha
Emma's POVNo matter where we went, I had people look at me and start whispering to themselves. I shook my head and looked away but Alex noticed this. 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." The man whispered."Okay." Alex got off his chair and put on the coat buttons smartly.I asked, "Is everything alright?""Yeah. It's just a small, member-only meeting

Emma's POVDraven walked away, leaving Robin behind. The man tried to help me but he was warned by his Alpha to follow him out."But Alpha…""I said we are leaving.""Yes, sir."The two men left, leaving me all by myself on the roof. The night was freezing and the only source of heat was my burning divorce papers, which were going out too. I stood at the edge of the roof when Alex called me. I told him that I was in the roof and he immediately rushed to meet me."Emma? What are you doing here? And what the hell is this?" He looked at the ashes in the ground and the burning smell which intoxicated the air.I turned to look at him and said with a straight face, "It's the divorce papers. Draven burnt it and told me that he is not going to divorce me."The man touched the bridge of his nose, "I am sorry, this is all my fault.""No. You are not responsible for my decisions. I married that monster of a man." I said.Alex stepped on the pile of ashes to put out the leftover fire and shoved h
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Where to keep the kids?
Draven's POVThe atmosphere in the car was grim and I knew it was all because of me. Robin was staring straight ahead at the road, too afraid to even move an inch while my sister and Stella were at the backseat. A few moments later, Desiree spoke up, “That was some welcome.”Her complaining like a brat was the last straw of my patience. I asked, “Why did you come back?”Desiree was taken aback by my question, she said, "What do you mean why did I come back? I was gone for so long, you did not want me to come back?"I touched my temples, I sent Desiree away to Italy as a punishment when I caught her trying to frame Emma. I always knew that the women in my house were mean to my wife, she never complained and suffered in silence but what happened that day was something I could not ignore.I caught Desiree trying to spike Emma's drink. When I asked her why, she told me that she wanted Emma to cheat on me so that I could have a reason to get rid of her.My sister was just trying to help me
I Became An Alpha After Divorce A close call
Draven's POV“Good! Good… She was a good-for-nothing-for-nothing anyway. I am happy that we are finally getting rid of her.” My mother complained and went back to reading her magazine.Since the topic was over, I decided to go upstairs and sort things out with my kids. Just when I was about to leave, Desiree asked, “Draven, who are those kids?”“Kids? What kids?” My mother asked, making me stop on my strides. I swear on the Moon Goddess herself, if I could, I would have strangled my sister right now. Desiree ignored my glare at her and continued her conversation with Mom, “You have not met them yet? They were upstairs when I was getting ready for the Ball. I did not have time to ask them who they were since I was in a hurry.”“Is that so? Who are they, Draven?” My mother asked me, “Why are there kids in your house?”Robin stepped in and said, “They are my niece and nephew.”“Niece and Nephew?” Desiree raised an eyebrow, “I never knew you had them.” She looked at the housekeeper clean
I Became An Alpha After Divorce My Dear Emma
Emma's POV“Shit! Shit! Shit!” All the drinks last night did me dirty as I slept off my alarm today. Since I took half a day's leave yesterday, I had to make up for it by taking today's morning shift. I thought the girls could use some rest so I agreed to this plan, I clearly did overestimate the influence of alcohol over me.I grabbed a slice of bread and chugged up a glass of milk, rushing outside to catch my bus. As I was making my way out, I saw a new car parked outside, and standing next to it were two men clad in suits. They had no expression on their face but their watchful eyes followed me. I ignored them as I did not have time to investigate this and made my way out of the complex. But then, I was stopped by the same two men, “Miss Whitemane.”“Yes?” I stopped to answer. They said, “I am Henry and he is Marcus. We work for the Alpha.”“Oh, him.” My expressions turned sour just by the mention of that man. I said, “What does he want now?”“Alpha wants to meet you. He asked us

He won't let me change a thing about it even if I don't like it.He secured the documents and locked them inside a briefcase, “Good. You can have the kids now.”“Where are they? Can I take them home with me now?” I asked. I was eager to meet my kids.Draven stood up and said, “They are not with me right now. They are with Robin.”“Oh.” I mused, “I can go and pick them up.”“No, need for that. We have something important to do before that.”“What?” The man picked up his jacket and car keys, “Come with me.”“Where?” Again, utter silence. Asking this man a question was like throwing a stone in the ocean. Completely useless! I rolled my eyes and followed him behind. We got into the elevator and he called his receptionist to inform her that he was heading out and canceled all his meetings for the day.We got into his car and the car set out in the city. None of us talked, he was starin

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
I Became An Alpha After Divorce Are you a bad guy

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

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 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.

I Became An Alpha After Divorce Your boss won't like it
Emma's POVThe security guard did not answer our question but it was quite loud by his expressions that it was the case. My eyebrows knit themselves together, “This is ridiculous. 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.
