"Where's your grandpa?" His voice was cold but the question was innocent. Her throat clogged up and all of a sudden she forgot the basic words, her breathing labored and she took in a sharp breath. He got to know the truth. Emma was speechless. "I asked you a question Belle and I need an answer." His cold voice was a warning in itself. "H-he h-has gone on a trip." She blurted out the first thing that came to her mind and at that exact moment, her back touched the wall ending her escape. His jaw clenched at her answer. He was angry before but maybe she enraged him more. "A trip to a God!" He growled and slammed his fist on the wall beside her head making her jump and flinch badly. He knows! Her mouth was shut close and her mind was conjuring up millions of scenarios as to how he got to know the truth. Last night Xander asked one of his men to clean her house and get rid of those dead bodies. He has also asked for all the information about Emma. In the morning he got the call t
"It makes us..." He trailed off, eyes lowering to her plump lips for a second before his eyes met hers with the deepest hunger residing in them. "Forbidden!" He rasped out. Every cell in her body jolted at that word. The mere word set so well with their whole situation. She grabbed his wrist to remove his hold from her nape but his grip was strong. "M...Mr. Colt..." She stuttered, lowering her eyes down. The glint in his eyes didn't let her maintain eye contact with him. All of a sudden his hold on her nape tightened and she winced at the pressure. "Who bullied you, Belle?" Yet another innocent question of his and she was on the verge of a panic attack now. What was this? Some sort of interrogation? "That's none of your....umphh." Her words died down in her mouth when he placed his finger on her lips, shutting her up. "Let's make something clear here." The way his voice came out calm and composed, scared her even more. "Everything related to you is of my concern because you're
"Thank you so much for everything Mr. Colt but I will leave tomorrow." She mumbled softly, loud enough for him to hear. A pause appeared on his form. A fraction of a second before his jaw clenched and his green forest eyes snapped towards her direction and she was fast to look down. She was in trouble again. She should've left tomorrow without any notice but now she was doomed. The deed has been done. "There's no home left there, It was sold." He said calmly and his words shook her to the core. "What?" She gasped in horror while abruptly standing up. She cupped her mouth with her palm and it felt as if the ground beneath her feet was gone. She endured so much just to keep that apartment safe, that remains of her family and he took it away. Tears gathered in her eyes. "How could you?" She whispered, heartbroken and he let out a sigh, standing up as well. "That was the last thing left of my family!" She screeched, unable to control the quiver of her voice. All the memories they h
Emma woke up groggily, walked into the restroom, did her business, took a shower, and wore a bathrobe. By now the shirt she was wearing from two days ago was all dirty. She stayed in the room for five minutes and then decided to ask him for a spare shirt. She knocked on his door once and then twice as his door slowly creaked open, startling her. "Mr. Colt?" She whispered in a soft voice, when no answer came, she opened the door fully and stepped in. He was nowhere in sight and then she heard the shower running. She further walked in straight towards his wardrobe. She knows she was intruding but it was far better than him seeing her in a bathrobe. A variety of clothes were neatly settled in their sections while few were hanging. She marched to the shirt's portion and was searching for an extra large shirt so her thighs would cover as well. She was too engrossed to notice when the noise of the shower wasn't coming anymore and she didn't even notice when the door behind her slid ope
Two days have passed since their encounter in that wardrobe of his and she hasn't seen him since then. Because she was being very cautious not to come in front of him. She has learned his daily routine timings and the times he would be at home, she would lock herself in the room and won't come out. He didn't force her to come out either and for the past two days, he was behaving differently. As if something was bothering him but she could care less. All her stuff was brought here as per his words, and his bold actions of emptying her apartment didn't sit well with her but she stayed quiet. She even received the savings that she was hiding under her bed at her apartment. She hasn't even attended her classes for so many days, nor has she given any application for leave, she just hoped that they won't take her scholarship away from her, and not to mention she has to do a lot of work once she joins back. Her foot was a lot better now, the slight limping was still there, but it didn't
There sat none other than Xander Colt in his infamous Range Rover and at that exact moment, she knew she was dead. The idea of running for her life seemed so appealing but the same part of her brain asked her how far she could run before he caught up to her. And the answer was barely a few steps. So like a good girl she stood there on her spot like a statue. He flew the door open and came out of the car, his big wide shoulders all tensed up, and with the force with which he shut the door, she knew she was a goner. He would kill her today. Xander walked to her in fury. She immediately noticed the darkness in his forest eyes which meant only one thing, murder! "Get in the car!" He roared like a deranged man on an almost empty road making her flinch back. She wanted to scream at him, that he cannot treat her like this. She wanted to pull his hair until he became bald and she also wanted to claw his dark intense eyes out of their sockets but all she was able to do was walk towards his
Chuckling! A deep, rich, husky chuckle left his lips. So manly, dangerous and intoxicating that she closed her legs more tightly feeling tingles to erupt in her core. He licked her ear shell as his hot ragged breath was right on her ear making her heart beat faster and her body trembled with fear and something unknown to her. Need! "M-Mrrr..." She stuttered as he nibbled on the skin right behind her ear making her thoughts all cloudy. Xander hummed in approval. He liked it when she called him that. It made him feel in command, in control but he would fucking love it more if she moan his name. "Doll?" He rasped that endearment. His hand that she was holding got free and he directly pushed it inside her shirt on her back. As soon as his calloused fingers caressed her bare skin, goosebumps appeared all over her form followed by an eruption of sparks. A breathy moan left her trembling lips when he licked her collarbone making her whole body tremble wildly. She always melts in his
"A sinful temptation." He rasped with dark intense emotion dancing in his forest hues. She was rendered speechless by his words. How accurate they were was one thing but how the glint in his eyes matched his words was another thing. She was tongue-tied and before he could utter more twisted words, she decided to leave. She barely took a step to her right when his calloused hand slammed on the wall right beside her head making her flinch. "Your finals are from Monday. Be ready at 7 tomorrow." He ordered her like Mr. Colt, making her jaw slack at the news. He turned on his heels and left her there. Emma cupped her mouth in pure horror. Today was Monday, which means from next week her finals are starting. OH, GOD! She wasn't attending classes for so many days. She didn't have notes. Oh, God! She was ruined. How in the world would she be able to maintain her GPA? Her mind was blasting with gazillions of thoughts. Luckily their heated makeout session was long forgotten as she went t
"W...why are you locking the door?" She stuttered but her breath hitched when he turned to face her. "What the fuck was Hunter saying?" He asked in low menace. Rasmus was always the calm type. It was the first time she was seeing him angry like this. "N...nothing. I need to go." She gulped before walking past him but he didn't let her leave. Grabbing her arm he pulled her back right in front of him. "What the fuck Hunter was saying?" He asked again, making her look away. There was anger in his olive green eyes. "He was joking. He wanted to rile you up. It was all our plan and it worked." She snapped at him. Snatching her arm from his hold she walked past him. Just when she was about to open the door. He swiveled her around and glared at her. Her wrist was in his hand. "Now what? I admit that I like you. I was just trying to make you jealous all these days so you would confess but you didn't and instead, you plotted your plan. Such a fox." He tsked. His eyes went from glaring at
Rasmus, Hunter, and Luca = 20 Sarah= Will turn 18 in this chapter. Aurora= 16 Angela= 10 "Em!" Connor wailed dramatically and the next thing he engulfed her in a bear hug. Emma couldn't help but let the tears out of joy. It was after so many years they were finally meeting. Though they talked on the phone often. Emma told him about Xabder after 4 years of her marriage. And she wasn't even ready to tell but Xander saw her talking to Connor so he grabbed the phone from her hand and introduced himself as her husband this time. Connor was rendered speechless and Xander further informed him about their two babies. Connor gave a good scolding to Emma for not informing him about this and he wasn't shocked. When Xander once picked up Emma's phone and informed Connor that he was Emma's boyfriend. Connor has had his suspicion since then and he also recognized his voice. Connor knew it was her teacher, Xander Colt. "I missed you," Emna mumbled softly on his chest, making Connor laugh. He
Hunter, Rasmus, luca= 16 Sarah= 14 Aurora= 12 Angela= 6 "Will she be alright?" Emma panicked. Her eyes were dead set on the doctor who sighed. "She will be fine, Luna. It's just a fever. Nothing serious. These medications would help." The doc said as he handed her some medicines. It was as if Emma could breathe again as she nodded her head. Ethan escorted the doctor out as Emma walked into Aurora's room. Aurora was lying on the bed. Her baby was suffering from a fever. Sitting beside her on the bed Emma caressed her forehead and kissed her cheek. "My strong baby," Emma mumbled as she continued to caress her princess. The door opened and Xander walked in. He looked tired. Their princess was suffering from a high fever for three days. They were always beside her all the time and now finally Aurora was getting better. Xander caressed Aurora's cheek before he pecked her forehead and sat there. After a while, the door slowly opened. Rasmus, Hunter, Luca, Sarah, and little Angela wa
Hunter, Rasmus, and Luca= 10 Sarah= 8 Aurora= 6 Emma stared at the pregnancy strip in her hand. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw two small horizontal lines on the strip. Positive. Her heart stuttered inside her chest. She was happy but she was nervous at the same time. They didn't plan this at all. She didn't know how it happened because she was on pills. After all, Mr. Xander Colt never used protection. She was still staring at the strip when the door to the restroom opened and Xander walked in. Finding her there, his hands immediately wrapped around her waist like a magnet as he pulled her back flushed to his chest. His face nuzzled in the crook of her neck as he breathed her scent. But then he paused. His eyes narrowed at the strip in her hand and then he abruptly swiveled her around in his arms so they were face to face. His large hands cupped her cheek as he made her look up. Their eyes met and he animatedly widened his eyes as if asking her the answer to an unasked
Hunter, Rasmus, and Luca= 7 Sarah= 5 Aurora= 3 "Sarah I swear if you touched my sword again with your baby hands. I'm gonna smash your doll!" Seven-year-old Hunter growled like a child at the five-year-old Sarah who stared at Hunter with her big brown eyes. "You won't do that," Sarah said in her baby voice, making a pout. She turned to stare at Luca who nonchalantly shrugged his shoulder. Hunter and Luca were always best buddies no matter what. Throwing the wooden sword toward Hunter. Sarah huffed and walked towards the bench as she sat on it, with her arms folded on her chest. A light smack landed on her head from behind making her gasp as she rubbed her head to glare at the person only to have a wide smile adorn her lips. "Rasmus." She squealed in joy, making Rasmus frown. "What? Why are you screaming, you poodle." Rasmus muttered and rounded the bench as he sat beside her while munching on his bubble gum. Sarah let out an exasperated gasp and pulled her poodle-like brown hai
"Xander!" Emma warned but he only growled in response. His face nuzzled in the crook of her neck. And his large calloused hand was on her right bosom as he squeezed it roughly through her dress making her gasp. Moving back he pressed a button and spoke up. "Head towards my farmhouse." He told the driver and removed his finger from the button as Emma gave him furrowed brows. "I don't want our kids to disturb us tonight." He muttered with a smile on his face making her giddy. "Silvia and Ethan would be pissed because they'll have to take care of four kids tonight," Emma warned, making him chuckle. "I'm the Alpha. They can't say anything to me." He muttered with a shrug. "Mean." She muttered lowly making him smirk. Grabbing her hand he kissed the back of it. And next thing he yanked her to him and slammed his lips on hers in a searing kiss. His tongue caressed hers, coaxing her to open her mouth and when she didn't he grabbed her rear and gave a rough squeeze to it making her gasp
Emma asked the staff about the directions to the ladies' restroom as she walked in there to find it empty. Rosa must be in one of the cabins. Emma stared at her reflection in the mirror and gasped in horror. Her lipstick was smudged a little making it clear what she might have done before arriving at the party. She cussed at herself for not looking in the proper mirror and she cussed at her mighty husband who didn't tell her. He might want everyone to see how his woman was so into him. Evil man. She wiped her lips with the tissue and then applied a new coat of lip gloss and now she looked much better. One of the doors opened and Rosa walked out and as soon as she noticed Emma she got startled with a soft gasp. "I'm sorry. I was startled." Rosa spoke softly and walked towards the basin. She placed something on the slab and washed her hands. "It's okay. I didn't mean to scare you." Emma said sweetly, making Rosa smile. Grabbing some tissues Rosa wiped her forehead off the sweat an
They reached the venue a little late but not too late as the guests were already arriving. When Xander told Emma that he was a world-famous business tycoon and the boss of the Colt empire, she was rendered speechless. Her man aka the Alpha of the Moon pack was a billionaire. This explained his lavish mansion and those expensive cars. They were invited to the silver jubilee of knight enterprises. Many top-notch people were invited and they were one of them. Thanks to Silvia she was looking after her kids that's why Emma was able to come. If not for Silvia coaxing her boys for a movie they would've never let her go out because they can't bear to leave their parents alone. Grabbing her small hand, Xander placed it on his arm and walked inside. "I forgot to tell you, doll. You look beautiful." He said sweetly and a big smile plastered on her face at that compliment. "You look handsome my Alpha." She mused, earning a groan from him. He loved it when she called him 'my Alpha.' It kinda
1 year later. "Doll, hurry up." Xander's voice came from outside the door. "Five minutes," Emma said back as she hurriedly pulled her dress on and was having difficulty closing the zip at the back when the door knob twisted open and Xander walked inside only to halt in his steps. He closed the door shut behind him as his eyes darkened at the sight of her bare back. "Are you seducing me?" He growled, making her gasp. With sparks of anger dancing in her eyes, she turned to face him and placed her hands on her hips. Her signature pose whenever he makes her angry. "I didn't even do anything," Emma complained while throwing her hands up in the air. "You're flexing that slim back of yours through the mirror and you're not seducing me." He faked shock as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Get out." She muttered lowly before turning to face the mirror and drowned herself in the quest to close her zipper which seemed impossible. A large cold hand came in contact with her back making her ga
