Emma's POV

The next day…

“Mom, can I stay back?” Ashel asked as I was looking in the mirror, trying to put on my eyeliner.

I asked, “Why, sweetie? I thought you were excited for the festival.”

“I was but I am not anymore.” He pulled the bow in his dress and sulked at me, “What kind of dress is this?”

For the festival, men and women are required to wear the traditional clothing of werewolf culture.

Women had dreamy outfits as the main attire consisted of a flowing, floor-length gown made from luxurious fabrics such as silk or velvet. The gown is typically a pale, shimmering colour, such as ivory, silver, or pale blue. They were required to pair it with a headdress, decorated with extensive decorations.

As for the men, they were required to wear Habit à la française, which as you can see, looked ridiculous. Imagine being an apex hunter and showing up in balloon pants and a bow.

    Emma's POVAfter sending away the kids, I went back to my room to do some final touch-ups. I was ready, all I had to do now was wait for Draven to come pick me up.I dragged my long dress down the stairs and decided to wait for him on the stairs. I made my routine call to a member from each department and made sure that everything was going smoothly. Thankfully, it was! No disputes, no malfunctions, no last minute crisis.I closed my eyes and laid back on the couch. Just then my phone buzzed, I checked the notification not expecting anything but as soon as I saw the name of the sender, my eyebrows loosened.“Hey, doll. Looking pretty in that dress.” Xavier, from whom I hadn't heard for almost ten days, texted me out of nowhere. I immediately sat up straight and called him.He answered my call on the very first ring. “A direct call? Seems like someone missed me a lot.” He licked his lips and teased me over the call.“Xavier! Where the hell were you? I thought you were dead.” I complain

I told him that Robin already took the kids and asked him to head to the venue directly.As soon as I hit send, I heard a knocking on my door. The housekeeper was coming out of the kitchen to open it but I asked her to stop.I knew it was Draven at the door; I almost stood up to open the door but changed my mind at the last minute. I did not feel like opening it so I laid back on the sofa and started scrolling my phone. I heard the knocking on the phone again, this time more intense than last time. He was getting pissed! “Good!” I thought to myself and nuzzled on the couch, enjoying the videos.Ten minutes later….I looked at the clock and finally stood up from the couch. I took leisurely steps towards the door and opened it to be greeted by Draven's furious face.“What took you so long?” He asked, holding himself bac

    Draven's POVUghhh!” I slapped my hand on the driving wheel and cursed at my wolf, “Do we still think she is pretty? Do we?”My wolf wagged his tail, “You were the one who pissed her off!"“She gets on my nerves in the way no one else can.”Emma had this way of doing things, she always wanted to make me pull my hair.My wolf fiercely defended her, “You treat her so bad, I would have never seen your face again if I was her. She is our mate, Draven…”“Do you think I don’t know she is our mate?” I asked, glaring at my wolf and he immediately lowered his tail when he understood what I meant.Last time at the park, I was an asshole to her! I know and I meant to do it, I have my own reasons which I can never disclose to anyone. I was not a fool to hurt her like this, she was my mate, the love of my life but life is not always cakes and rainbows.I had to stay away from Emma, it was a matter of life and death! And maybe that is why I have grown more and more hateful towards life, it was just

    Draven's POVAs I thought, she was being too fiesty for someone who I could pick up with just one hand. And again, as I expected, once she was swept off her feet, she dared not to protest and tamed down like a good mutt that she was. Even though I was a terrible husband, I used to make notes of her likes and dislikes.… Well, if not of everything but at least of her eating habits. That is why I know during winter, she would always eat French food. When I noticed her buying the same food, I got Robin to find me everything he could about the food and the restaurant. I am glad that I did because I now know where to take her to make her happy.My plan worked, she was back to normal and eating. This makes me wonder, was she upset because she was hungry? Is ‘hanger’ a real deal?While eating dinner, I remembered about the amusement park conversation that me and Emma had in the office. It totally slipped my mind after I got to know that Stella was waking up.I told Emma to send me the detail

    Draven's POVI looked at her face lit up with her perfect smile, I was constantly trying to guess what was going inside her head. After I asked, she revealed her big idea to me. She brought us here so that we can make up for our lost childhood.“Wow…” Fio commented, “I can't phantom the thought of you… playing.”The way he twisted his face annoyed me, so I said out loud, “This is dumb.”“Come on, childhood is all about being dumb.” She said enthusiastically.This was stupid! I would never do it in a sane mind! What if someone catches me here? What would become of me?But the way she smiled and was excited about it, I had to submit. There was this thing about Emma, she was always uptight around me. But tonight, she was different. She was teasing me, she was loosening up around me.“You would be a fool to let this opportunity go.” I told myself, sucked up my pride and walked towards her to join her.The gate was locked and this robbed the smile off her face.

    Emma's POVMy phone rang, breaking me from my fantasies. It was Robin, asking if I had got their Luna. I peeped out through the windshield to see her getting into a cab and riding away with a pretty smile on her face.I groaned in annoyance and said, “Yeah, I got her.”“Okay, Alpha. It is almost time, drive here safely.”I hung up on the call and stepped on the gas pedal, hunting down the cab she got in. I managed to get a hold of them and used my car to literally block them.The driver sprang out, wanting to fight but as soon as he saw that it was me, he immediately rolled his tongue back inside, “Alpha? Is everything alright?”I ignored him and glared at the nonchalant woman sitting in the backseat. I opened the door and said, “Come with me.”“No, thank you. I am comfortable.” Her attitude was getting on my nerves. I leaned down and whispered in her ears, “I am not moving my car unless you get in it.”“You can't do that.”I did not answer and just backed up, I would rather show her

I asked them not to do that and call me by my name but for some reason they did not. This reminded me of the time Draven asked everyone to call me Luna, it was ages ago when he was injured and I took care of him.Are they still following it?I did not bother to get into the details. There was no use indulging with things that won't matter in the future.After the festival, it was time for the Moon gala- a relaxed celebration for the pack but the biggest gathering of the territory.

Tell me what happened.”I swallowed hard, my fingers trembling as I sent him my location, “Please, hurry.”“I AM on my wa.,” he assured me. “Stay put.”Just as I hung up, movement caught my eye.

Slowly, I rolled down my window. “Do you need help?”No response.My phone chimed again. I glanced at the message from Draven—Almost there.When I lifted my gaze, the figure was gone.A shiver ran down my spine.

    Emma's POVJust when I thought that I was hearing things, I heard her again, “Mom… Can you hear me?”The voice was faint, distant, but unmistakable. My heart leaped into my throat and I gasped, my breath hitching as I heard the familiar voice echo through my head.“Ashel?” I called, my eyes darting frantically around the dimly lit space. But there was no one there, just the cold walls and the flickering bulb above me.My heart pounded against my ribs and I was dying to just hear her voice one more time. “Ashel!” I yelled again, desperation creeping into my voice.“Mom, please save me. I am scared.” Her unmistakable voice spoke to me.“I am here. I will get you, sweetie. Don’t be scared.” I pressed my ear against the door to see if anyone was there and heard the faint mutters of the housekeepers talking to themselves. I started pounding on the door with clenched fists, “Let me out!”The initial chatter stopped dramatically and there was dead silence now.A sharp wave of panic surged th

    The air was thick with tension as I watched Traces disappear into the hallway, his silhouette fading into the distance of the Pack house. My heart twisted with unease. The children.

Every second that passed felt like an eternity, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on my chest like an iron hand.And then, out of nowhere, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over me. The ground beneath me tilted, my vision blurring at the edges. A soft gasp escaped my lips as my knees buckled.

    Emma's POVMy fingers curled around the armrest as the plane finally touched down. The turbulence had been mild, but my exhaustion made everything feel heavier, the vibrations of the landing rumbling through my already tense body. More than twenty-four hours had passed since I last slept, but fatigue had yet to claim me. Restlessness coiled tight in my chest, refusing to let go.I stole a glance at Draven beside me. He was checking his phone, his sharp features set in a mask of unreadable focus. The moment the aircraft doors opened and we stepped into the terminal, his phone rang. The distinct vibration pattern told me it was Robin. Draven did not even waste a second and picked up the call immediately.“What is it?” His voice was low and controlled, but I could sense the undercurrent of tension.I stayed close as he listened, his expression darkening with every second. By the time he hung up, his jaw was clenched so tight I thought it might crack.He asked, “Are you sure you have the

Was I not supposed to say that out loud?”I narrowed my eyes as I gestured toward the tattoo on the grainy surveillance photo, “Do you even know what this means?”Desiree scoffed, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips as she crossed her arms, “Of course I do. I spent the majority of my life in Italy, Alex. You think I wouldn’t know about the underworld?”“Desiree, I swear on the Moon Goddess I will send you back to the pack on the very next flight if you are playing around with me.”“I don’t need to, Mr Frost. I am already bored here, I won’t give you a useless puzzle to solve so that you spend more time here investigating. Honestly, I just want to get out of here.”Robin and I exchanged glances, not sure how to react to this new information that was revealed to us. The girl looked too confident in what she was saying, there was no way she could be messing with us. But still, we could not blind

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Can I come along?

    Alex's POVI stood near the edge of the tarmac, arms crossed, watching as Draven and Emma disappeared into the terminal. I could not shake Emma’s worried face off my head, Ashel and Asher were her whole life, and losing them was putting her in a spiral. I exhaled sharply, pushing away the gnawing feeling of unease that settled in my gut. For some reason, I felt like this was happening all because of me. I was the one who bought them here, I was the one who was responsible for their safety. I should have looked after them, but instead, I slacked off and now not only Emma’s family but the entire pack was in shambles.I have to find the kids, no matter what! And I had no time to waste, the time was ticking fast and I had to be quick.Just as I turned on my heel, ready to leave, a slow, deliberate smirk caught my attention.

The usual haughty confidence that had been always there in Desiree’s eyes were replaced by flickers of shock when she us.She came to a halt right in front of us, staring at our faces as if we had caught her red handed or something.I barely had time to process her presence before Draven’s voice sliced through the tension. “What are you doing here?” Draven’s tone was sharp, authority laced in every syllable. 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. I just chose to ignore it.” I glanced at Draven, his jaw clenched

    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
