Chapter 61

**Emma's POV**I took a deep breath as I stepped into Nicholas's office, trying to steady my pounding heart. His eyes met mine with a mixture of guilt and longing that made my stomach twist. His normally composed facade was cracked, and for a moment, I felt a brief pang of sympathy. But that sympathy was quickly replaced by anger."Emma, I’m so…" he began, his voice soft and filled with regret.I held up a hand to stop him. "I don't want your apologies, Nicholas. I want answers."His eyes widened slightly at my interruption, but he nodded, understanding my demand for the truth. He gestured to the chair in front of his desk, and I hesitated before sitting down. He wheeled himself around the desk to face me directly, his expression grave."After I rejected Lena as my mate," he started, his voice strained, "I felt something with you. A bond stronger than anything I'd felt before. But I was so hurt by what Lena had done to me—I didn't know if I could trust anyone else, especially not her

**Emma's POV**I burst out of Nicholas’s house, my face wet with tears and my heart in turmoil. My car keys bit into my palm as I squeezed them, the cold metal grounding me in the present.

I needed to be around someone who cared for me genuinely, without any hidden agendas.Hope View wasn't far. I drove through the winding roads, the trees blurring past me. The familiar sight of Hope View calmed me a bit. It was a place of solace, a place where I could breathe. I parked the car and stepped out, the cool air a soothing balm against my heated skin.As I walked into the hospital, the distant muffled sounds of people talking. I needed Grace more than ever.

Chapter 63

**Emma’s POV**I stepped inside my apartment, feeling drained from the whirlwind of emotions that had battered me since the incident with Nicholas. The pulse of life outside my walls carried on, oblivious to the storm that raged inside me. By the time I got home, the sun had begun to set, casting long shadows that stretched and distorted like the thoughts rushing through my mind.I sank into the armchair in my living room, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket. Silencing my phone, I shut out the world and allowed myself to sink deeper into the cushions. This was my safe haven, the place where I could think without interruption.Thinking about Nicholas was like walking through a maze of contradictions. On the one hand, the fear of being rejected by my family loomed over me like a dark cloud and Lena... Lena would certainly see my bond with Nicholas as the ultimate betrayal.Yet, pushing aside Lena's feelings, I allowed myself to wander into the forbidd

Chapter 64

**Emma's POV**I stood outside Nicholas's door, my hand trembling as it hovered just inches from the doorknob. The chilly evening breeze wrapped around me, doing little to calm the storm in my chest. I had steeled myself to focus on my needs, to see where this connection with Nicholas could lead me. Lena and my family were far from my mind right now; they could be dealt with later. Hurt and confusion still gnawed at me, wondering how Nicholas could have upended my life like this. But if he truly was my fated mate, perhaps he could be the one to bring me happiness.With a deep breath, I finally gathered the courage to turn the knob and step inside the house. The familiar scent of cedar and crisp air filled my lungs, bringing a sense of strange comfort. I made my way through the dimly lit corridors, drawn to the warm light spilling out from Nicholas's office.I hesitated at the threshold. The door was open, but Nicholas wasn't alone. Two pack members—the warriors, Jacob and Nathan—stood

Chapter 65

**Nicholas's POV**The room seemed to blur around me as I struggled to maintain my composure. I listened to Jacob and Nathan discuss our pack's plans, but my focus kept darting back to Emma. Her presence was a blaze I couldn't ignore, burning through my resolve.Jacob’s voice grew distant as he went on about border patrols and strengthening alliances. “Alpha, we need to increase our defenses by at least twenty percent,” he said, his words failing to penetrate the fog clouding my mind. My gaze was locked on Emma, sitting just outside the room, her fingers grazing the mark I had left on her neck. That damn mark was like a beacon, pulling me in, making me feel every flutter of her heartbeat.Finally, I could take it no more. Closing my eyes for a second, I gathered every ounce of control left in me and cleared my throat. "We will continue this discussion later," I declared, my voice sharp and unyielding, betraying none of the inner turmoil I felt.Jacob and Nathan exchanged puzzled glanc

Chapter 66

**Emma's POV**As the door clicked shut behind me, a wave of guilt hit me like a tsunami. I couldn't shake the image of Nicholas's face—so raw, so full of confusion and desperation. My resolve wavered with every step I took away from his office. His baby. The words echoed in my mind: oppressive and relentless. Leaning against the wall, I tried to gather myself.Nicholas deserved the truth, but telling him would ruin everything. Lena's deception and my father's ruthless ambitions would all come crashing down. Not to mention, Nicholas would hate me for keeping this terrible secret from him. I rubbed my forehead, trying to think clearly.I had only just managed to distance myself from Nicholas's magnetic pull when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I glanced at the screen—Aaron.The message read: "Hey, Emma, getting worried about you. Call me when you get a chance."With a resigned sigh, I unlocked my car and slid into the driver’s seat. The cold, leathery grip of the steering wheel matched t

Chapter 67

**Emma's POV**I found myself lying on a cold, hard floor. The indistinct scents of antiseptic and faint bleach wafted into my nostrils. I groaned and sat up, my body aching from the uneasy sleep. I blinked rapidly, trying to shake off the fogginess clouding my mind. The eerie, fluorescent-lit hallway I found myself in looked eerily familiar. A chill chased down my spine, sending shivers through my body. Could it be? No, this was the same hallway from my dream.Heart pounding, I took a moment to gather my wits, my breaths coming in shallow, rapid bursts. The cold air bit my exposed skin, and I realised I was still in my pyjamas. Despite the chill, sweat beaded on my forehead. I rubbed my eyes and looked around frantically, my mind racing to comprehend where I was.A door marked "Lab" caught my attention. Déjà vu sank its teeth into my bones. I felt a compelling urge to move toward that door, a force as undeniable as fate. Walking on shaky legs, I approached it and tried the handle. Lo

Chapter 68

**Emma's POV**Once safely inside my apartment, the comfortable familiarity did little to ease my nerves. I paced back and forth, running a hand through my tousled hair and biting at my nails—a habit I thought I'd kicked. The events of the last few hours felt like a fever dream, chaotic and unsettling."What is going on? Am I going crazy?" I asked the empty room, my voice shakier than I’d intended. The room was suffocating; walls that had once embraced me now felt like they were closing in.Just then, a voice—soft yet powerful—echoed inside my head, the same voice from my dreams. "Accept your fate and save our kind."My anger flared up irrationally. “I don’t understand what you mean or what you want from me! Just tell me!” I yelled, my voice filling the room and then being swallowed by silence.But nothing came. Of course, nothing came. I slid down to the floor, leaning against the couch, feeling a mix of frustration and utter helplessness. “Oh great, I guess I’ll just work this out o

Chapter 69

**Nicholas's POV**The hum of the bustling hospital was a stark contrast to the chaos echoing in my mind. Sitting in the sterile waiting room, the air tinged with antiseptic and cold efficiency, I couldn't get Emma out of my head. Her scent, the touch of her skin, and the pull I felt towards her—it was all-consuming.I shook myself out of the reverie as the waiting room door swung open. "Nicholas," the new doctor called out, snapping a file shut. If only it were that easy to close the chapters of my messy life.I wheeled myself into the consultation room, every rotation of the wheels reminding me of my incapacitation. Dr. Carter’s office had been a place of frustration and disdain. Now, facing a new possibility—or, more likely, another dead-end—left me with a sinking feeling of hopelessness I couldn’t shake.The new doctor, Dr. Blake, was a middle-aged man with greying hair and a kind demeanor. He extended a hand, and I shook it, forcing a polite smile."Nicholas, I've gone over your

Chapter 70

**Emma's POV**The familiar scent of home enveloped me as I stepped into my parents' house. It was a conflicting mixture of comforting memories and the looming sense of dread. My mother was the first to greet me, her warm smile a stark contrast to the icy tension pooling in my stomach."Emma, dear! It's so good to see you." She wrapped me in a tight hug, and I did my best to return it with equal warmth despite my jittery nerves."Hi, Mum," I said, pulling back and forcing a shaky smile. "Where's Dad?""He's in a meeting but should be joining us very soon," she replied, folding her hands neatly. The slight furrow in her brow told me she sensed something was up. "It's quite unexpected for you to want to have dinner with us. You never call.""Yeah, well," I started, feeling Lena's eyes bore into me from her spot in the living room, "I felt like it was time for a family talk.""Something serious?" my mother asked, her curiosity piqued."Yes, but I'd rather wait until everyone's here," I s
