Emma's POV

“I don't want you to misunderstand anything, Emma.” His tone suddenly turned serious as if he was making a very important point. My expression froze too and cleared my throat, “I am not misunderstanding, sir. I will not speak of what I saw.”

“Good.” He finally loosened his composure and said, “How was your day?”

“It was good.”

He nodded but then his eyes fell on the bouquets that were kept on the floor beside me. His expression turned serious again as he asked, “What is that?”

“These?” I took a nonchalant gaze at them and said, “Those were sent to me by some guy. It's nothing serious.”

“A guy?” He walked past me and picked up the flowers. He ripped out the message card from one of the bouquets and read it out, “Skipped lunch… pasta… Blocked? What the heck? Emma, what even is this?”

I could not understand why he was so upset suddenly but since he asked me, I explained everything to him. The man listened to everything in silence, even though his face was getting progressively

    Ducian's POVIt was not a very regular day at work for me. Emma was coming back to the hospital after serving the Alpha for three whole days. I never thought that I would say this about a woman but I missed her. I was not very sure about the Alpha's intentions either.The last I heard the rumors, Draven and Emma were getting a divorce. Things were nasty between them but something seemed to have changed. Judging by the way Emma just wanted to run away from the responsibility despite being the most professional out of us all, she seemed to hate being near the Alpha but he kept insisting.As a man, I could say that his intentions did not seem very stable regarding Emma.I don't know what was going on between them and I did not have any right to comment on it but some part of me was jealous. I was jealous of how the Alpha was able to dictate all this and make her listen to him like a puppet. I did not want to share Emma with anyone! She was not even mine but I was very possessive of her.

    Ducian's POVMy brain froze and I did not know what to say. And what was with the weird expression on her face? Is she thinking that I am some womanizer, meeting women at my office?I did not want both of us to stare at each other awkwardly. If I could, I would just go back in time and stop myself from meeting Romona in the hospital. But since I could not because of scientific limitations, I chose to break the ice and asked, “Emma, what are you doing here?”She immediately replied, “Doctor James, I swear to you I did not mean to eavesdrop.”She was not even looking into my eyes.Great, now she doesn't even want to see me, is she that disgusted?I panicked and immediately explained, “No, it's okay. There is nothing going on between me and her. She is just a family friend.”“Oh.” Her reply was bland and uninteresting. It was as if she wasn't even willing to listen to me, let alone believe my words.I panicked more!Was this the end of me and her? It did not even start yet and she was end

    Emma's POVI did not reply to his text at all and it was on purpose. I did not know what to say after how he boldly confessed to stalking me.I needed some time to digest his audacity and calm myself down as well.As soon as I got him, I threw aside my phone where I could not see it. I know it wasn't possible but the constant fear of him possibly spying on me through my phone was haunting me.After I was done showering and eating was when I picked up my phone to talk to my kids.Since their grandmother was not coming home for two more days, Draven decided to keep the kids to himself. And honestly, I was relieved by this!Even I myself wasn't feeling safe right now, how am I supposed to keep the kids safe? I did not want them to be stalked like this.Asher, being very sharp, noticed that something was not right with me despite I was trying to hide out. He asked me if everything was okay.Obviously, I could not tell him that the texting guy was back, he would be worried as well. So I tol

    Emma's POVAs my phone was ringing, my grip on it was tightening involuntarily and I slipped into a trance wondering if I should pick up the call or not. I broke out of my thoughts when my phone buzzed halfway through the call. It was him, saying- Pick up, I won't bite.I gulped and with trembling fingers proceeded to answer the call.I put it against my ear and muttered, “Hello.”There was no sound from the other side of the phone and it was eerily silent. I don't know why but a fear of something was growing inside me. This was a bad idea. I said in my head. This was a very bad idea!It was going to be a little over thirty seconds but there was still no response. It was not that there was complete nothingness on the other side of the phone.He was there. I could feel his dominating and ominous aura. He was lurking in the shadows as if he was watching his prey and waiting to hunt them.When I did not receive any response, I said, “Is anyone there?”Just then, a voice as deep as the t

    Emma's POVMy hand slightly trembled and I had to tighten my hold on my phone involuntarily lest it slip out of my grip. His words spiraled inside my head and for a moment I could not believe in my ears.Did he really say he knows the person responsible for the crash?Does this mean that I was right?It was not just a mere accident but a carefully planned assassination attempt.Every realization came concaving down on me, and I stood up as if I had been pricked. The silence of the call was disturbed by his lazy giggle, “You did not know, huh?”“I had a doubt but… never mind.” I did not want to tell him anything right now as there was something more important, “Tell me who was it?”“Woah, right to the business.” He commented.I replied, “I could have died that day. Do you understand the seriousness of this?”“But you did not die, so it is no longer important.”“It is.” I said, “There is someone out there who is trying to kill me. I need to catch him before he harms me and my kids again

    Emma's POVI pursed my lips as my eyes squinted themselves. “How do you know that he won't try to harm me?”His voice turned more and more serious as he uttered these words, “I won't let anything in this world touch even a strand of your hair.”Goosebumps.I felt goosebumps surfaced all over my body when he said something like this. Since the day I have come in contact with this guy, I know he is not the kind to mess around with. I have not known him for much long and even this was my first time talking to him but I can say by the kind of vibe he was emitting, he was the kind who would not hesitate to hurt people.I cleared my throat and tried to lighten up the conversation, “So, you are like my personal bodyguard?”“I want to be more than that.”“What?” I asked, “A friend?”He grunted, clearly annoyed, “You won't ever let me be cheesy, will you?”“No, I won't. You can always try somewhere else though.”“Not interested.” I heard him stand up from his chair and the sound of his shoes

    Emma's POVDoctor James? My immediate reaction was to look over at the clock. I was not mistaken, it was indeed 2 in the morning.Why is he calling me at this hour of the day?I picked up the call and said, “Hello, doctor? Is everything alright?”“Emma! Thank God you are not asleep.” This was my first time hearing such panic in his voice. He said, “Something happened and I need to perform an immediate surgery. I need you.”I immediately yanked my bedsheets off me and stood up on my feet, “What happened, doctor? Who is the patient?”“I don't have time to explain all this. Get ready, I will pick you up from your house in five minutes.”He quickly hung up and I rushed into a state of panic as well. I put on the nearest outfit I could find and threw in a jacket before literally running out of the house. Doctor James's car came to a halt right in front of me.He looked at me and said, “Get in.” I opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down inside. “Doctor, is everything alright?”

    Emma's POVPatients tend to respond to a certain level during or post-surgery but Romona did not. Her body was functioning but she was unresponsive which meant that she was currently in a vegetative state with no fixed time of waking up.This was very crucial information that the patient's family should have known but why did he skip it? Did he forget? No, that was unlike him. “Doctor?” I called him out, making him snap out of his thoughts. I asked, “Why did you not tell this to them?”“It's too early. What if it is just a temporary state and she wakes up? I don't want them to panic for nothing.”“Doctor, I don't want to put them in that state either but what if she doesn't wake up soon. They are going to ask questions and we won't have any answers at that time.”Ducian fell mum and seemed to be having a conflict amongst himself over what to do. I understood his position, they were close to him and it would put him in a challengingposition to reveal something like this to them. I s

    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!

    Emma's POVThe 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.Asher did not know that there would be a dress code. He only found out two days ago when the dress was deliv

    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.

    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
