Emma gaped at him spellbound. How this man can read her like an open book or perhaps he was a magician that's why he knows what was he doing inside her head. Not knowing what to say and not having enough strength to speak, she bobbed her head in affirmation letting him know that she understood. "Good. Now ask me something?" He told her cooly, letting go of her arm as she took a small step back and lowered down her eyes instantly feeling nervous at his demand. "W-where are you g-going tonight?" She asked softly while fidgeting her fingers. The machine made a sound and toasts came out as Emma started to plate them while waiting for his answer. "A dinner with someone important." He said calmly as she peeked at him before looking down again. "Ummm... who is that s-someone?" She mustered up the courage to ask him. His face was expressionless but his eyes held a mischievous glint in them. "With a beautiful woman." He said casually picking up an apple from the basket and tossing it up
His green forest eyes widened into the size of plates. As he stiffened in his place. His eyes ever so slowly gazed at her from head to toe making goosebumps appear all over her flesh. She visibly noticed how his Adam apple bobbed up and down as he gulped. Xander loosened his tie around his neck as she saw how his tattooed neck looked tense. Emma was facing him with scrunched shoulders looking tense but Xander's eyes were set on her naked back that he could see through the mirror and she was unaware that he could see her back from the mirror and the sight in front of him was exotic, to say the least. Xander took a step towards her followed by another step as she gulped feeling conscious and so very scared for the Lord knows what reason. Maybe she was scared that he would find her fat and leave right now in disgust but nothing prepared her for what he said next. "You look so fucking hot!" The purr in his deep voice had her gulping as she continuously stared at his polished black shoe
This was the first time she was addressing him by his name and the way his name rolled off her lips had him going crazy. Blade was like a restless caged beast inside him. Ready to let out. "Say it again." He rasped as his hold on her waist became stronger. Sparks were driving them insane. "X-Xander..." She said again in that soft sweet voice of hers. Her gesture was so meek, and the blush on her face so deadly gorgeous. "You will kill me, woman." He rasped out making her peek at him through her lashes. "I can't. That'll kill me too." She breathed in a soft voice under her breath and if he wouldn't be close he could've never heard it and bloody hell. Her words swayed his heart in a hum of ecstasy. A delicate smile adorned his lips and Emma barely stifled her gasp while looking at the emotion in his eyes which was far different from need and hunger. He was gazing at her with love and not to mention that, to die for a smile which she was witnessing for the very first time from this
Emma was all cheery and happy for the last two days. That date was the first and the best date of her life. Emma was on cloud nine. Her happiness knew no bounds but at the same time, she was so very afraid of life. Life always took away the best things from her and no way did she want to lose this man who has become the most important part of her life. Not being able to sleep she decided to roam in the backyard as it was good rainy weather outside. Xander was probably dead asleep by now. Emma left and it was so amazing in the garden at this time. After casually strolling there for an hour or two she came back inside. She was closing the main door when she saw a silhouette of a guy near the trees in front. She would've taken it casually but her heart jolted in her ribcage when she witnessed a red eye shining from afar and gazing directly at her. It was as if the floor beneath her feet was snatched away, leaving her falling into the demise of her traumatic past. From the bottom of
Emma was wide awake the whole night. Sleep didn't come to her at all. She kept on looking towards the curtained window and door now and then. Utterly afraid, that man would barge in and do what he hasn't done all those years back. Xander came inside his room only to find her wide awake sitting on the bed with her back resting on the headboard and eyes looking tired with dark circles underneath. She looked so damn pale. "You didn't sleep?" He asked her calmly to which she just blinked but then nodded her head softly. Getting up from the bed she walked out of his room and Xander didn't stop her. It was fucking bothering him what scared her this much? If they saw her at his home then they fucking knew who she was. And now her life was in danger. Calming his nerves down he started packing his stuff. Emma took a long relaxing shower. Which was much needed after last night's incident. The shower was necessary to wash away her memories. She took longer in there, trying to coax herself
Their car was going down the hill in the dark forest. She was closing her eyes so tightly as if that would teleport her away from this nightmare. The car crashed into a large tree with a loud crash. Their bodies jerked forward as the windscreen shattered into tiny little pieces. If not for the seatbelts they would've fallen out of the car from the front. "Hey? Belle?" She groaned in pain hearing his faint voice. Her ears were ringing and the numbness slowly faded away as she opened her eyes with rapid blinking to adjust her sight. She could feel a large arm on her chest that was keeping her plastered to the seat. "Belle? You okay?'' His voice was clear and stressed. She felt his large hand cupping the side of her face. She winced when his thumb touched her eyebrow line. She might've got a cut there. Her eyes slowly set on him only to gasp out in horror. There was a long gash on his forehead as blood was pouring out of it covering the side of his face and neck. "You're hurt." She
Rain poured down at him washing away his blood which she could witness through the crackling of thunder light but what stopped her heart was there were no wounds on his chest or his forehead. Xander was like him! No! This can't be! She was hallucinating! She was already feeling hot, maybe her body was playing games with her mind. She tried to come up with gazillions of excuses to deny what she was seeing wasn't true but how long could she deny the reality that she was witnessing through her own eyes? He racked his fingers through his hair combing them back as his naked back flexed. He turned to look back and she immediately moved to the side, hiding behind the wooden wall. She was breathing heavily looking at nothing in the darkness. Her heart was beating so fast and her breathing was getting dense. ‘You are overthinking.’ She tried to coax her mind but who was she fooling? She had seen him kill that huge bear right in front of her eyes just in one go with his bare hands that
"NO!" Emma screamed as she wildly wriggled in his hold to get free but who was she kidding? This man was not even human. How in the world would she save herself from him? His shoulder dug painfully in her stomach as he took big long steps towards Lord knows where. The fact that she was in his hold was terrific enough. Rain poured harshly as the leaves rustled wildly. Twigs broke under his boots. She was punching at his back with her tiny fists but to no avail and in the end, she got her hands hurting only. She was crying as her tears mixed with the pouring rain. Dizziness was consuming her slowly due to all the blood rushing to her brain. His arms around her thighs tightened when she again tried to wriggle. Her eyes widened when she saw the stone pathway that leads to the cottage. Her hands became icy in fear as her struggles intensified. "No! Let me go!" She bellowed and started to claw at his back like a vicious tigress ready to claw him to death. He let out a low thunderous
"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
