Emma's POV

"What is this?"

"Oh my God, she looks exactly like Emma."

The banquet today was a rollercoaster ride for the guests. They were all looking amused by what I was presenting them.

I sneaked a glance at the Alpha who was still near the mic stand. He wasn't making a single sound but there was obvious confusion and disbelief on his face. I smirked to myself, that was what I wanted.

I went to the assassin and signaled at the guards to loosen her.

I said, "This is Rosary Flint, a small-time rogue assassin. She is the real culprit."

"Is this… true? Are you the one who stabbed me that night?" Stella fell back a few steps and landed in Draven's arms.

When Rosary was silent even after all this, Draven finally stepped in. In his authoritative Alpha tone, he asked, "She is asking you something. Did you do it?"

Rosary shivered a little by his intimidating tone, I knew that my work was done here. I crossed my arms and joined Alex and Natalie at the corner.

"Answer at once." Alpha Draven

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Finding Emma

    Draven's POV“Alpha, Miss Whitemane’s van has met with an accident. She is dead.”When my Beta first came to my office and broke this news to me, I felt my wolf tear down for the first time. The documents which were in my hands slipped to the floor and the next thing I knew, I was in my car, rushing to the crash sight.I even jumped a few red lights and when I reached there, the firemen were busy securing the crash sight. I did not care about the do not enter signs, I shoved away everyone who tried to restrain me and ran down the cliff. The crash had set the van on fire and it had destroyed almost everything. I fell down on my knees, looking at the wreck.Was she really gone? Was she really dead?My wolf had been in many wars and had the ugliest of injury painting his body but none of them gave him the kind of pain he was experiencing right now. Roger had to drag me away, and even though I did not say anything, he understood how broken I was. He took me back to the road and the of

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Divorcing the Alpha

    Draven's POVI was too stunned to say anything and I felt like my eyes were deceiving me.I searched for her for a whole month and waited for her for six years. When I was finally getting my closure and was ready to move on, there she was. Everyone was equally surprised like me, we all had accepted that she was dead. Where was she all this time?Why didn't she come back?How did she even come into the pack without any of us noticing?What gave her the guts to just walk in here and announce herself as alive? Wasn't she afraid that I would hunt her down and throw her back in the jail where she belonged?I wanted to strangle her, I could not bear the sight of her walking around alive after what she put me through. If not for my wolf threatening to claw me, I would have literally killed this woman.Stella immediately got into a fight with her, I was not surprised by this. What surprised me was how patient Emma was. She was sailing through all the judgemental looks and curses with grace.

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   When can we meet the Alpha

    Emma's POVThe car was awfully silent and I was in the backseat fuming in rage. Natalie and Alexander looked at me through the rearview mirror, both of them too afraid to talk to me."Are… you okay?" Natalie asked and I snapped, "No, I am not. I hate him!""We know that, girl, but divorce? Really?""What else do you want me to do? You heard what he said! He will use that stupid marriage against me all my life. I have to get a divorce.""But how are you going to do this?" Alexander asked.My face twisted, "What do you mean how am I gonna do this? You will help me, right? You agreed to help me six years back.""Of course, I will help you, I am not talking about that. I am talking about the kids." He said and I immediately regretted my outburst at the banquet.My kids! Shit! I completely forgot about them in anger back then.Alexander then said the thing that I dreaded the most, "Divorce will take time and you will have to stay within the pack till then. Did you once think about the kid'

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   I know you are my Father

    Draven's POV “...” “...” I was in the pack house, sitting in my office and staring down at the two kids who were still in their pajamas. Just downstairs in the lab, the doctors were doing a paternity test to see if these kids belonged to me. But for some reason when I looked at them, I felt like I was looking into a mirror. Roger got a bunch of private investigators after Emma as soon as I ordered all her information on my table. It turns out the girl managed to escape the pack territories with the help of that asshole and was living in the same city as him. She went back to college to complete her graduation which she had to drop because of our marriage and now was working as the head nurse in a hospital. I was lazily browsing through the records when suddenly, my phone rang. It was one of the investigators who was sent after Emma. I picked up the call and asked, “What is it?” “Alpha, Miss Whitemane has kids.” He replied on the phone. “What?” I slammed the document shut and sh

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The Alpha wants to meet you

    Emma's POV“Emma?” Alexander shoved aside the curtains and walked into the room. I was on the bed, in the middle of sobbing my heart out. As soon as I saw him, I launched myself into his arms, “He took my kids.”“We are gonna get them back.” He rubbed my back to comfort me. Alexander immediately called Natalie and I could hear her worried voice over the phone. Next, he called the police chief to ask for their assistance in this case.“Miss Whitemane has kids?” This was probably not what the officer expected to hear the first thing in the morning. My return was already shocking enough for them, and now this.“I think that is not important right now. What is important is that her kids are taken away.” Alexander reminded him sternly.“Yes, I am sorry, Mr Frost.” He cleared his throat and shifted into a more professional tone, “Where did the kids were taken from?"Alexander narrated the whole story to him. The officer chimed, "These bastards, how dare they kidnap people in our pack terri

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Keep your hands off my wife

    Emma’s POV “What do you mean?" I found my voice to ask him. The man scanned my panic-ridden face for two seconds and then said in a rather calm tone, "I am keeping the kids. You can leave." I paused for a whole while, trying to process his words in my head. He was crystal clear with his message but a part of my brain was refusing to believe it. I let out a chuckle out of nervousness and asked like a fool, "What do you mean you are going to keep the kids?" "My sentence was self-explanatory. Ashel and Asher will continue their life in the Silver Moon Pack and will train to be the future heirs." "You can't do that! I have been raising them since they were kids." "And you did a good job in it, the only reason why I am not throwing you in prison right now." He lit up a cigarette and hooked the stick between his thin lips. My fist balled and my eyebrows furrowed itself, "Not happening, Draven. I am not leaving my kids with a psychopath like you!" He smirked but did not say anything,

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   A hard choice

    Emma's POVThe room was dead silent as if we were at some funeral and not at the pack house. Even though none of us spoke, we could sense the tension pooling in the room.Sitting on his seat was Draven, his handsome attire which was carefully ironed to perfection was now a mess. He did not have much injury on his face but the mask of anger on his face was enough to make him look dangerous.While on the other hand was Alexander. He was currently sitting on the couch with an ice pack pressed against his chin. The nurse bandaged the wound on his forehead and now it had stopped bleeding.The two men refused to speak and this made me and Roger exchange glances.The two were fighting like maniacs and would have let each other's wolf tear the other one apart if not for Roger intervening. The Beta too had sustained a lot of injuries but he had no time to look at those.I still could not understand why the fight even took place. It was extremely childish of them and something none of us expect

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The way out

    Emma's POVNatalie called when we were still on the road, she had just now woke up and the first thing she saw was Alexander's text saying that the kids were gone. She panicked and called me immediately.She was relieved to know that the kids were safe but equally sickened by Draven's actions."Has the Alpha lost his mind?" He said, "I am calling Roger right now.""Don't do that." I said. Roger was Natalie's half-brother. Their father married Natalie's mother when Roger's mother got bedridden after an accident. Roger did not like how his father abandoned him and his mother but he never blamed Natalie's mother for it. He just cut himself off from the family and hardly contacted them.Natalie called down and hung up, we decided to meet at my house later. I dropped Alex back at his house and said, "Take rest, first. Do you need me to buy you anything?""No." He said, "You drive home safe.""Okay. If you need anything, call me."Alex lived just ten minutes away from me and since it was s

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Safety of the kids

    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

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   You were a good Luna

    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.”

    Emma's POV“What is your relationship with Alexander Frost?” Desiree's sudden question caught me off guard. I countered her question with a question of my own, “Why do you ask?”I had many more questions in my head. Why is she suddenly asking about him? They don't even know each other.Desiree said in a rather rude tone, “Can you not give me the answer without knowing the reason?”There she goes, going back to her true rude self after pretending to be polite for so long. I shook my head; it must have been extremely exhausting to smile at her.I did not get angry. Instead, I said calmly, “You called me here to talk. I am not obliged to answer your questions.”I stood up, preparing to leave but she stopped me, “Wait. Where are you going?”“Home because this conversation isn't going anywhere and, unlike you, I have a job and I have stuff to do.”“Wait! Don't go!” She stood up, her tone mellower than before, “I am sorry. Can you not go?”I looked at Desiree and saw something on her face w

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Is Desiree okay?

    Emma's POVSeeing Desiree run over to me was something I never expected to see in this lifetime. I did not know what to feel about it! I was already having a bad day because of her brother; bickering with her was something I could not take for today.Natalie looked at me and whispered, “Should we dash?”“She saw us! It would be pretty of us to just run away.”“Why should we not run away? That woman is literally a devil's spawn.” Natalie gnashed her teeth. Because of her position as the pack’s ambassador, Natalie was forced to have a diplomatic relationship with everyone. This was the only reason she was putting up with the whole Sinclair family, especially Desiree. If she was not the face of the pack, she would have long jumped that spoiled brat for the things she put me through.I took in a deep breath and prepared for whatever bullshit was coming my way.Desiree stopped in front of us and caught her breath. To my utter surprise, she smiled at me and asked, “How are you? I did not ex

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Jealous of Emma?

    Desiree's POVI left the Riverside pack early, claiming that I had some business to take care of in Silvermoon, but the truth was I came here just to meet him. That day when I showed up to his ward, I was nervous! I knew that he would be associating me with Stella and would not want to meet me. Also, if I was going to apologize, I would have to come clean that it was me who invited him.Given the current dynamics, it would look extremely suspicious of me to have invited him out of nowhere. He would have a lot of questions and I had to be prepared to answer them.I bought a bunch of roses, asked the receptionist about his whereabouts and made my way to his ward. I was feeling confident when I was still in the elevator but once it reached his floor and I stepped out, I started to panic. The fright within me only grew stronger when I spotted the door to his ward. I stood in front of the closed door and took in a deep breath. My heart was beating so fast that I felt it would leap out of

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Who was that guy?

    Desiree's POVMy life hasn't been the same since the Pack banquet. As the daughter of the Alpha and the sister of the future Alpha, I held a position of authority from a very young age. People feared me, and no one ever dared to speak against me; what I said was set in stone. Growing up with no one ever daring to question me did get in my head. I used to believe that no matter what I did, there was not a tongue which would slither against me. This bubble of mine burst brutally that evening. I have bullied Emma a lot of times in the past. I hated her for sobbing the life which rightfully belonged to my friend and I never even tried to hide it. I would trouble her whenever I would get a chance, even if she was not at fault, no one ever dared to stop me.Alex was the first man ever to call me out and humiliate me in public. That night, after he sent me back home, I was upset. This was my first time ever being proved wrong or sent out. I could not stop thinking about him. Who was he? W

    Emma's POV“No.” He stood up from his seat and walked towards me, “The ritual can't be performed without the Luna. You will have to attend the ceremony whether you like it or not.”I rolled my eyes, “This just doesn't make any sense.” I paused and said, “How about the last time this happened? How did you do it?”“We assumed that you were dead, so we did it without the Luna. But you turned out to be very much alive! All the pack members think this is the reason our pack has been going through a rough time lately.”“Wait. You all blame me for the recent attacks?” I was stunned to discover this. I remember the meeting that was happening and asked, “That meeting a few minutes ago, was that about me?”“Yes.” Draven said, “The whole pack board agrees that you have to be present. You don't have any choice.”“You can't force me.”“Actually, I can.” He said and stepped close, towering over me, “If you attend this festival as my Luna, I will withdraw the case.”“You will?”“Yes.”At this point,

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   The first Moon Festival

    Emma's POVMoon festival? As his Luna?I felt like throwing up. If there were two things I hated the most in this entire world, it would be Moon Festival and being Draven's Luna again.Moon Festival is the most important ritual for every pack done in the honour of the Moon Goddess herself. This ritual was celebrated once in three years during the night of Emrald Moon. If not done properly, the legends has it that the Moon Goddess would shower the pack with problems and turmoils.There was once a time when I used to look forward to this festival as it was one of those rare occasions when I would be respected and acknowledged as the Luna of the pack. But when the day of the festival actually came, I loathed it!The festival fell during the first year of our marriage. I was so desperate for the acknowledgement and love that I went above and beyond for the preparation.I was really looking forward to it but during the final day…I dressed up and went to the temple only to see that Sherra
