Emma's POV

was not expecting him to ask this question all of a sudden and did not have an answer for it. I stared at him, blinking blankly as I tried to come up with an answer.

The dynamics…

How did I forget about the dynamics between us? We are a couple going through a divorce. Today does not typically happen, how am I supposed to handle it?

Draven stepped closer and asked, “You seem to have forgotten that we have applied for a divorce, Emma. I am fighting for custody of our children. I forced you to come to the festival.”

His voice was as dark as his eyes and haunted me. I could feel the colours draining off my face as fear overtook my expressions.

He growled, “Think about it, do you still want to be next to me? Don't you want to run away?”

He took a step towards me and I involuntarily backed off. This caused him to stop and smirk, “Thought so.”

He stepped back and turned to leave, welling me with guilt.

“Draven, stop. I didn't mean to.”

“You should stay away from me, Emma. I wil

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   A Rough Day

    “They said I can never compete with her and take the throne in his heart. But, honey, there is no competition! She can have the throne of his heart while I take the throne of the pack.” -Asmitha (I became an Alpha after Divorce) __________________________________ Emma’s POV “Ahhhh.” I accidentally knocked off the vase from the table while scrubbing the floor. I immediately grabbed the vase to check if it was fine even though my back was hurting because of the hit. Fortunately, the antique was alright, saving me a heavy bashing from the owners of this house. “Emma! Where in the Moon Goddess’s name are you?” Sherra Sinclair, my mother-in-law, came bragging into the room. The anger on her face escalated when she saw me on the floor. “You witch, it’s already time for dinner and you are still cleaning the floor? Where is the food? Do you want to starve me and Desiree?” She seethed. I darted my eyes toward the wall clock and realized that it was indeed time for dinner. I got up at onc

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Passionate Night

    Emma's POV "What are you doing? Let me go!" I was shocked by his sudden action and tried to break free from his clutch. But the more I resisted, the harder he pinned me. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Trying to be modest, are we, Emma? Are you gonna deny that this was what you wanted?" "What do you mean?" I stared into his dark blue eyes which reminded me of the night sky. This was the first time he was this close to me and I couldn't help but notice his exquisite features. He was blessed with almond eyes and long curly lashes, paired with a strong set of eyebrows. He had a bridged nose and thin pink lips, all accommodating in his rectangular face with a square jawline. Alpha Draven was the most handsome man in our pack and every time I looked into his eyes, I remembered why I fell in love with him in the first place. He said, "Didn't you just complain to my mother that I wouldn't sleep with you?" My face reddened with embarrassment, I did not expect that v

    Emma's POVI did not respond and stayed still, it was not that I did not want to respond but did not know what to say at this point. We have been married for three years and all this time, I stayed dedicated to him. I gave up on my career and left behind the life I could have lived to be treated like a maid in this house. But even after all these sacrifices, it only took one accusation from her to throw me out.Alpha Draven did not stick there any longer, he picked up his coat and stormed out.Now that the house was empty and back to being lifeless, I got the time to sort out my thoughts.I recalled that night three years ago, I was in the pack kitchen all day, arranging the pantry all by myself. Could this be a misunderstanding?I picked up my purse and headed out of the house. I called a cab and asked them to take me to the hospital where Stella was currently hospitalized. I wanted to hear the truth from her.I got into the elevator and reached the topmost floor, at the end of the

    Emma's POV The next day… "Would you like to order, Miss Whitemane?" "No, thank you. I am waiting for a friend." I smiled at the waitress and sent her off. No one in the pack addressed me as 'Luna' or 'Mrs. Sinclair', not only because they don't see me as their Luna but also because their Alpha never asked them to. The entire pack knew he hated me! The person I was waiting for today was Natalie Colerio, my best friend and the daughter of Beta Walter of our pack. While the whole pack scorned me for being an orphan omega, she was the only one who saw me beyond my rank. I heard the door being pushed open and looked up from my table, there she was standing in her designer clothes, unfitting in this modest cafe. "Natalie. Here!" I waved my hand at her and a mask of instant relief covered her face. She came to me and wrapped me in a tight hug, "Gosh, I am sorry I am late." "It's ok. I am glad you are here." She sat down on her seat and rubbed my wrist with her thumb, "Are you okay?"

    Ring… Ring… Ring… The sound of the ringtone going off broke my sleep but it was not my phone. I fluttered my tired eyes open and looked around; the ceiling was white and there was a smell of antiseptic in the air. “I gotta take this call.” “Sure… I will be here.” I heard a man and woman converse. I darted my eyes in the direction of the sound and saw a silhouette clad in a black suit walk out of the room. I was trying to understand where I was when I heard Natalie’s voice, “Emma? You are awake?” The worry on her face diffused into relief. She took my hand and helped me sit upright. I clutched my head weakly and asked, “What happened?” “You passed out. Your sugar level was dangerously low.” She spoke, tucking the pillow on my back to support me, "When was the last time you had a proper meal?" I stayed mum as I knew I would hear an earful if I told her the truth. I jogged my memory and realized that she was right. But I was on the road, how did I end up here? I asked, “Who broug

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Pregnant

    Emma's POV “You are awake?” A woman in a doctor’s coat entered the room with a smile, “How are you feeling, Miss Whitemane?” “I… I am feeling better.” I pushed back all the bad memories of Draven surfacing in my head and asked, “Is everything alright, Doctor?” "The lab reports just came in. Congratulations. You are pregnant!” The doctor smiled, touching my arm and spreading a sense of comfort. My heart skipped a beat when I heard the doctor’s words. Even Alexander and Natalie were shocked by this news. Pregnant? Now? My mind went into turbulence and I could not think straight. I stared at her blankly, not knowing how to react. My hands involuntarily clutched my stomach and asked, “Are you sure, doctor? Am I… really pregnant?” “Yes, Mrs. Whitemane.” She nodded confidently, "You are bearing the future successor of the Silver Moon Pack. You should be very proud." "I can't believe this." My eyes filled with tears… I longed for this child for two years, hoping that it would keep

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   A Month in Prison

    Emma's POV One month later… "Hey, you. Wake up." The prison warden poked me with her stick. While it may look like she was trying to wake me up, in reality, this is how they check if the prisoner is alive or not. I parted my eyes open and looked at her. She said in her usual irritated tone, "It is not the time to sleep. You are in prison, not some holiday resort where you can sleep whenever you want." "I am sorry. I was just tired." I stood up from my ice-cold iron bed with no pillow or quilt. "Don't let me catch you sleeping again." The warden warned me before walking off. As soon as she left, I sat back on the bed and clutched my head. I was seven weeks pregnant now and the baby was not helping me much with my health. I was sick all the time and noticed a significant fall in my weight. After the day I was arrested from the hospital, I was thrown into the pack dungeons while the investigation was still going on. No one was aware that I was pregnant and I don't think they w

    Emma's POVDraven walked to the front and said, “I think that is enough. You will get dizzy.”“No, I am never getting off of this.” I said at the top of my voice. His face was clouding with worry seeing how fast this was going. He said, “Emma, I am serious. Get down! I don't have a good feeling about this.”“What are you worried about?” Just as soon as I said this, my hands slipped off the bar and I went flying off the swing.“Careful!” Time seemed to have slowed down as I found myself falling towards the ground. I closed my eyes, preparing myself to hit the ground but instead of the cold, hard ground, I fell on something soft but rigid.I stayed there for a while, feeling two arms tightening their grip around me. That was when I opened my eyes to see Draven heaving, there was a mask of fear and worry on his face.He somehow managed to work fast and grab me, saving me from falling off and breaking my nose.His clutch was so tight that I felt like my bones were about to crush.

Even though they adopted me and let me live with them, I was still an outsider.”“I am sorry you had to go through that.”“No no! Why are you sorry? Even you had a shitty childhood growing up.” I smiled at him, “It used to bother me once upon a time but it doesn't matter anymore.”“Yeah.” He took the last bite of his meal and said, “There is nothing we can do about it. It's long gone.”I opened my mouth to agree with him but shut up immediately when I remembered something. I put down my fork and grinned at him, “Let's go!”“Where?” I got up from my seat and grabbed his hand, “Let's go!”“But your food…”“Let's go go go!”I starte

He walked up to my side and opened the car door, silently asking me to step out.I crossed my arms and turned away, “No. I am good.”“You haven't eaten anything since afternoon.”“I am not hungry.”I heard his wolf groan in frustration but there was no expression on Draven's face. He was calm as usual.Just when I thought that he had given up, he swiftly unbuckled my seatbelt and picked me up in his arms again. Before I could even realize it, I was dangling over his shoulder and watching him carry me inside.“Draven, you creep! Put me down.” He turned a deaf ear against my protest and carried me inside the cafe. We were inside now and the weird way he was carrying me attracted everyone’s attention. The guests stopped what they were doing and stared at us in confusion.“Alpha?” One of the customers asked, “Is everything alright?”“Yes.” He replied, “My wife is just upset. You can all go back to your work.”My f

    Emma's POVThe empty street was flooding white by the petite snowflakes and the temperature was dropping drastically. I was wearing a simple sweater and it did not prove to be very helpful in keeping me warm. In no time, I was standing on the street, covered in snow and shivering.Fifteen minutes passed by, and I still had not managed to find a cab for myself. They were just mercilessly driving past me, not even caring that I was all alone and freezing.“Hey stop! Please! Asshole!” I cursed at the fifth cab which drove past me.My fingers were numb at this point and I needed warmth. Even rubbing them together or keeping them under my arm wasn't helping me much.I turned around to look at the pack house, how badly I wished to run inside and take cover but my ego would rather make me collapse than ask for help. The snow seemed to be messing with the network reception, neither was I able to access the internet to book a cab or call anyone to come pick me up.I was truly stuck…There was

    Emma's POVDraven and I continued with our work, even though we were in the same cabin, we did not talk. He was busy with his phone call meetings and I was busy with my head buried in the documents. He had just gotten off a phone call and had just kept his phone down. I asked, “Is everything sorted?”“Yes.” He nodded, “Everything is smooth so far. The extra reinforcement we are sending to the borders will reach there on time. I think everything is pretty much good. What about you?”“Just a few more documents and I am done too.”Draven nodded and leaned back on his chair, “Thank you for helping me out. I could not have done it without you.”I blushed; it felt good to have been praised by the almighty Alpha himself, who cherished his words like gold.In the past few days, while observing Draven and his work from a close proximity, I could not help but feel pity. Even when preparing for the festival, he had to go out every now and then to take care of his last minute Alpha duties. Even

    Emma's POVA week passed by and I have no idea if Alexandr talked to Desiree or not. What I do know is Draven has taken back his case and he is no longer suing me. But he made sure to tell it to me clearly that if I try to pull any stunt on the day of the festival, he will make sure I pay for it.Asher and Ashel were excited about the festival, surprisingly. They were not looking forward to seeing their father but the festival itself. They had heard about it a lot growing up, and to experience it first-hand was something they were looking forward to.The costume that we wear on the day of the festival was specially made. Draven sent a dress designer to my house the very next day to get my measurements. He did not want any kind of delay or mishap on the day of the festival and was taking extreme precautions for it.Everyone in the hospital was pleasantly surprised that I would be hosting the festival this year and told me they were looking forward to it too.The whole pack was in the f

    Emma's POVI squinted my eyes and shook my head in confusion, “Because of me?”She nodded, “Yes.” And proceeded to tell me what had happened and what all he had told her. I did not know how to react or what to say. To be honest, it seems reasonable. I would have done the same for him, I would never be friends with Alex's enemies. But how can I say it to Desiree without sounding mean?I replied diplomatically, “Maybe he is not trying to give up on his friend just like how you did not give up on Stella.”“No. You can't say that.” She protested, “Stella is in a coma, but I am here, talking to you and apologizing to him. Do you still think I support her?”What she said was thought provoking and I was rendered speechless again.Desiree said, “I know I have been troublesome in the past but it was just because of plain hatred. I am not heartless enough to support someone who tried to kill someone.”I nodded my head, “I think I might have had a wrong impression on you, after all.”“You do.”
