EMMAI tried to sleep, but Elijah’s words kept echoing in my mind. No matter how much I tossed and turned, I couldn’t shake them off.I had always believed I loved Thomas. But meeting Elijah again stirred something inside me—something I couldn’t ignore.Oh, fuck! I need to clear this up as soon as possible. I need to find out what’s really between Elijah and me. And there’s only one person who can help me—Liza.Throwing off the bedsheet, I got up and left the room in search of her. I looked everywhere in the mansion, but she was nowhere to be found. Just when I was about to give up, I saw Mason heading toward the darker, more secluded part of the mansion.Something about the way he moved seemed suspicious.I decided to follow him.He stopped in front of an old, locked door, fumbling with the key. My heart pounded as I stepped forward."What’s going on here?"Mason spun around, his eyes wide with shock. "Emma? What the hell are you doing here? Go back!"I ignored him. My gut told me th
ELIJAHI sat in my room, staring at nothing, replaying the events of the day. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that Emma was no longer mine, my heart refused to accept it.She was mine. She would always be mine.The sharp sound of clicking heels interrupted my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. My anger flared instantly—I knew exactly who it was.The woman responsible for all the misery in my life."What the hell are you doing here?" I asked coldly, my voice void of any emotion.Violet stood before me with a sorrowful expression, but I wasn’t fooled. I had seen this act too many times."Elijah, you told me you love Emma," she said softly, stepping closer. "So what does that make me in your life?"I stood up, my face impassive as I met her gaze."I never loved you," I said bluntly. "I regret breaking your heart, but now that you know the truth, there’s no point in dragging this conversation further."Her hand reached for my shoulder, her touch unwelcome."But I love
ELIJAHEmma was about to collapse, but before I could move toward her, Vincent’s voice rang out."Not so fast, Alpha."I turned, my eyes burning with fury as I glared at him. "What do you want?" My voice was edged with desperation. "I’m ready to do anything—just don’t hurt Emma."Vincent chuckled, a slow, mocking sound that made my blood boil. "Loving this woman will be your greatest downfall," he taunted. "And now, as the Alpha of the Dragon Pack, I command you to kneel before me."I could do anything for Emma.If these bastards wanted to see me on my knees, then so be it.Without hesitation, I dropped to one knee in front of Vincent, my pride crumbling at my feet."No, Elijah!" Emma’s voice was raw with desperation. "Don’t kneel before these bastards—your honor is worth more than this!"But it wasn’t my honor I cared about.I wasn’t afraid to die.But I was afraid of losing her.I could face death without regret, but I could never let harm come to the woman I loved with every fiber
Elijah"Choose, Elijah. Who do you want to save?" Vincent gave me an ultimatum, his voice laced with cruel amusement.I turned my gaze toward the two women who mattered to me—Violet and Emma.I had never felt so helpless in my entire life."Elijah, choose Violet! She needs you!" Emma screamed, blood trickling from her nose.But my heart had already decided."I choose Emma. Release her now!" I commanded Vincent.Davina let go of her spell, and Emma collapsed onto the floor, groaning in pain. I rushed to her side, cradling her in my arms.Mason was also released from the spell, his body crashing onto the floor with a loud thud."Sweetheart, are you okay?" I asked, my voice filled with concern as I gently cupped Emma’s face.She looked up at me, pain and betrayal shining in her eyes."What have you done, Elijah?" she whispered, her voice laced with agony. "Everything that's happening—it's all because of you. You destroyed everyone’s life."Her words hit me like a dagger straight to my he
EMMAI woke up with a pounding headache, my body feeling heavy. As my eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room, I noticed the IV tubes attached to my wrist. The darkness around me mirrored the turmoil in my life, and the events of the past day flooded my mind.Panic surged through me, and I abruptly sat up, my heart racing."Emma, are you alright?" A familiar voice echoed in the silence, pulling me back to reality.I turned to see Elijah approaching, his black shirt and dark pants making him look even more intense. His presence was overpowering, his face illuminated just enough to highlight the sharp angles of his jawline.Seeing him stirred something in me, but then I remembered—he was responsible for all the bloodshed."What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sharp as he switched on the lights.My eyes took a moment to adjust to the brightness before locking onto his."It's me, Elijah. The man you love," he said softly, stepping closer.I instinctively took a step back. There were th
Vincent (flashback)Olivia lay motionless on the bed, the sparkle in her eyes long gone. The maids surrounded her, their faces filled with worry and concern."Everyone, leave," I ordered firmly, my voice echoing through the room. This moment belonged to Olivia and me alone.The maids hesitated but eventually obeyed, leaving us in silence. Olivia made no effort to move. Her eyes remained closed, but I could hear the rapid hammering of her heart.I stepped closer, lowering myself beside her. Gently, I placed a hand on her shoulder. The moment my touch registered, her eyes fluttered open, revealing a sea of pain."You’re safe now, sweetheart," I murmured with a reassuring smile, though my heart ached at the sight of her suffering.Her gaze darkened. "I want him dead," she said in a hollow voice, void of any emotion.My jaw clenched. Even after four years, her wounds were still raw."Don’t worry, my love," I vowed, my voice unwavering. "I promise to bring his head to your feet. I swear to
Present timeEmmaI confronted Olivia and said, "I am not his toy but the woman he truly loves."Her laughter echoed through the hall, sharp and mocking. I glanced at Mason, who clenched his jaw in irritation."You must be joking," Olivia scoffed, wiping away the tears from her eyes, not from sorrow but from the sheer amusement of my words. "Elijah doesn’t have it in him to love anyone.""But he does," Liza said firmly, stepping beside me, her glare fixed on Olivia.Olivia advanced toward me, closing the distance between us until she was uncomfortably close. Her gaze was piercing as she whispered, "Elijah is no noble man. If he claims to love you, that is the biggest lie of all."A part of me wanted to argue, but deep down, I knew what Elijah had done to Olivia. She wasn’t wrong to hate him."And let’s not forget," she added in a hushed, taunting voice, "he has a mate. Have you ever heard of a wolf falling for someone other than their fated mate?"I chuckled softly, shaking my head. "
EmmaOlivia looked between Elijah and me, her expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. For a moment, she seemed utterly dumbfounded, but then she burst into laughter like a maniac. Elijah glared at her, clearly annoyed."Are you guys serious?" Olivia scoffed, her eyes wide with shock. "Do you really love each other? I can't believe my eyes! Elijah—the Casanova—in love with a woman? And for her, you captured my husband and are willing to do anything?" Her voice rose into a near shout.Elijah tightened his grip on my hand and said coldly, "I have no interest in listening to you. You can leave. But I’m not letting your husband go—not after everything he's done."Olivia stepped closer, her face contorted with anger. "You ruined my life, and now you're building your own happiness on top of it. Do you feel no shame? If you truly knew what love was, you would understand my pain—you would let my husband go!"Elijah's expression darkened. "I would have let him go… but he dared to lay a
EmmaThey took me to the van, and soon, they injected a sedative into my wrist. After that, everything went black—I couldn’t remember what happened next.A few hours later…I slowly opened my eyes, feeling disoriented. I found myself tied to a chair, my hands and legs bound tightly with ropes. Panic surged through me as I struggled against my restraints, but it was useless. My vision was still hazy, but soon I noticed a group of men-three of them—standing in front of me. One of them is holding sharp gadgets while the other one gripped a gun and another carried a metal rod.Fear coursed through my veins as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. "Who are you people? Why are you doing this to me?" I demanded, my voice shaking.One of them smirked. "You’ll find out soon enough. Our boss is on the way."I swallowed hard. "Who is your boss?" I asked, desperation creeping into my tone.Before they could answer, I heard the distinct sound of heels clicking against the cold floor. The slow
EmmaIt had been months since I had been away from Elijah, and these past eight months had been nothing short of hell. I had to carry this burden alone, struggling to get through each day. I was working at a manufacturing company where people only saw me as an object to satisfy their lust even though i am carrying a child inside me but nobody cares.A woman alone is nothing but a meat to feast upon.As usual, another exhausting day awaited me. With my swollen belly, I made my way to the office. It was a large company, but the people working there were vile.Carrying a file in my hand, I walked into the office and knock and then a strong voice called out, "Come in." I stepped inside, only to find my perverted boss sitting in his chair with a woman on top of him, straddling him shamelessly. Disgusted, I averted my eyes.He looked up at me and smirked. "Finally got the file?""Yes," I replied, placing it on the table and turning to leave."Wait," he ordered. I froze in place.He dismiss
ElijahI woke up with a pounding headache, pressing my hand against my forehead. "What is happening to me? Why does it hurt so much?"I tried to sit up, but then reality struck when I felt an arm draped over my waist.My breath hitched as I turned around—there she was, lying beside me in nothing but lingerie.Fuck. What did I do?And then, like a cruel movie, the events of last night started playing in my mind.*****************Flashback*******************As Emma left te mansion heartbroken, i realised that i did a grave mistake. I should have ran after her but i was too heartbroken to react. To mend my mistake I had spent the entire day searching for Emma, but she was nowhere to be found.I was devastated. I should never have let her leave, and now, I had no idea where she had gone.Tears welled in my eyes as I returned to the mansion, only to find Isha sitting at the dining table. As soon as she saw me, she asked, "Where is Emma? Did you find her?"I shook my head, and she started
EmmaI slowly opened my eyes and saw Samira looking at me with a wide smile on her face. I frowned, trying to process what was happening."What happened to me?" I asked, attempting to sit up. A sharp pain shot through my head, making me wince.Samira gently placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "Congratulations, my love. You’re pregnant."I froze. My heart pounded in disbelief. Had I heard her correctly?"This can’t be possible," I murmured, my voice laced with shock. "How can I be pregnant, Samira?"Samira chuckled. "Oh, come on! You’re a woman, not some supernatural being immune to pregnancy. And let’s be real—you do have a very healthy sex life."I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, letting the reality sink in. I was pregnant. Oh my God.Tears welled up in my eyes, but this time, they weren’t from pain or heartbreak—they were from pure happiness. I had always dreamed of starting a family, but I never imagined the news would come like this.But just as quickly as joy fill
EmmaThe next day, I woke up and turned around, expecting to find Elijah beside me. Instead, I saw Isha sleeping peacefully next to me.Looking at her innocent face, I realized I had been too harsh on her Yesterday. In my anger, I had caused a rift between Elijah and me, jeopardizing our love story.I took a deep breath and sat up, only to feel a sharp throbbing in my head.What is happening to me? My body felt weak, and my head was pounding.I searched for water, but it was nowhere to be found. Forcing myself to get up, I made my way downstairs. Instead of heading to the kitchen, I accidentally entered the room next to mine and found Elijah sleeping soundly on his stomach.He was still in his clothes from the night before, looking so innocent and peaceful. I couldn't help myself—I walked over to him, gently ran my fingers through his hair, and whispered, "I'm sorry, my love. I was too harsh yesterday. But what can I do? I love you so much that I end up doubting every woman on this ea
EmmaI groaned in frustration and looked at Elijah "What is wrong with this girl?"Elijah looked concerned "I think she’s in trouble."Another knock sounded at the door, followed by a desperate voice "Please! Please open the door! Help me!"Elijah immediately got up, grabbing his clothes. I quickly did the same, my frustration growing. "Elijah, this doesn’t feel right."He cupped my cheek, his voice calm. "Baby, she’s just a little girl. A lot has happened in her life. She might be feeling scared—it’s okay."His words soothed me a little, but my unease remained. Elijah walked to the door and opened it. As soon as he did, Isha threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. A pang of insecurity hit me, and I clenched my fists.Elijah gently pulled back and looked at her. "Isha, are you okay? Tell me what happened."Her teary eyes shimmered as she sniffled. "I... I was sleeping in my room when I heard strange noises. It was terrifying... I felt like something was there. I got so scare
EmmaI looked at her with a shocked expression and said, “What did you just say?”Isha immediately shook her head. “No, I didn’t mean what I just said. I know your husband loves you a lot, but I’ve always heard that men aren’t loyal to their partners.”She said it so innocently that I couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, you’re right. But I love him, and he’s more than just a husband to me—he’s my everything. He would never betray me.”Esha tilted her head. “Ohhhh...”I nodded. “Anyway, here are your tampons.” I handed them to her, then looked around the room. "The decorations are so beautiful.""Did you do this for your husband?" she asked.I smiled. "Yes, I did. I wanted to have some romantic moments with him. But you’re too young for me to tell you details about that."She giggled. "No, no, I’m not! I may be 20, but I know how romance works. I know about how the heart beats when you love someone, it feels amazing when you have someone special in your life"I patted her head. "Good girl."
EmmaI looked at Elijah in shock, my expression filled with disbelief. He, however, maintained a calm demeanor, giving me a reassuring look before turning to Isha and saying, "You can stay here until we find a safe place for you to live."Tears welled up in Isha’s eyes as she hugged him tightly. "Thank you! Thank you so much for believing me. I promise I won’t be a burden. I’ll stay in a corner—you won’t even know I’m here."Watching her cling to my husband ignited an unsettling feeling inside me, but I chose to stay silent. Instead, I forced a smile and said, "You should rest. I’ll send breakfast for you." Then, turning to Elijah, I added, "I need to talk to you. Please come with me."As soon as we stepped out of the room, I turned to Elijah, my voice laced with frustration. "What the hell was that? How could you allow a stranger to stay in our home?"Elijah sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Did you even look at her condition, Emma? She was terrified, on the verge of a panic
EmmaElijah and I immediately jumped out of bed and rushed toward the guest room.As we entered, I saw the girl trembling in the corner. She was sitting on the floor, pressed against the side of the bed, her body shaking uncontrollably. Her lips quivered as she kept repeating the same desperate plea:"Please… save me."Elijah and I exchanged a worried glance before stepping closer. He knelt beside her and asked gently, "Listen, are you okay?"The woman slowly lifted her gaze. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.In a stammering voice, she begged, "Please… don’t let them take me away. They want to destroy me. They want to use me… to satisfy their lust."She looked utterly terrified.I crouched down to her level and spoke softly, "No one is going to take you away. You’re safe now. You’re under our protection."But despite my reassurance, she still looked frightened.Elijah, watching her reaction, decided to test her. "If you’re going to be this scared of us," he said with a seriou
