Ducian's POV

My 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 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

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

My vision was blurry just like my thought process and I had no idea what was going on. I looked around to find myself in something which seemed to be moving and then I slowly made out that I was in the backseat of some car.The backseat of a car? How did I end up here?My head was dizzy and I needed some assistance. I tried to call out but realized that there was a cloth around my mouth, obstructing me from making any sound. My eyes flew open and I involuntarily tried to sit up straight. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that either as my arms and legs were tied.Panic took over me and I was fully awake at this point. I managed to look around and saw the driver who was driving the car.The fuss I was creating seemed to have attracted his attention. He turned to look around at me and smiled creepily, jumping start my memories.It was the same face I had seen before my memories

    Draven's POV“Hey, this is Emma. Leave your message after the beep.” As soon as I heard this announcement, I pulled the phone away from my ear in annoyance. The mask of anger on my face was noticed by my daughter who was sitting on the sofa next to me.Holding the stuffed, pink bunny which was almost half her size, she asked, “Did Mom not pick up the call?”I looked at my phone and shrugged, “Yes.”Emma and I were supposed to take the kids shopping today. They were starting school in a few days since it was a huge milestone in their life, and they wanted their mother involved.I informed her about it days ago and asked her to keep her schedule clear. She agreed to it but now was not picking up my calls.“Can we please wait a little longer? Maybe she is busy.” The little girl pleaded in the most adorable voice possible. “Of course, sweetheart.” I said and petted her head.

We don't even have your son, Alpha.” The man said.“Where is he? How can I get him back?”“No idea.” He shrugged, “Maybe the group who has your son has a second task for you.”Draven was silent for a while, staring blankly at the screen. We could feel the tension well up in the room as his gaze intensified. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle confusing everyone.He let out a cold laughter before stopping abruptly, “The day I find you, I will wipe out your entire clan.”The man grunted before saying, “We will see about that. As for now, come get your kid.”The line went silent, indicating that the call was hung up.Draven stood up and came out of the room, I rushed to him immediately. Even though I heard everything, I was still in denial that our situation was so messed up. I asked him, “How is everything? You will get the kids b

    Emma's POVDraven's phone beeped, notifying him of an incoming message. He checked it and the expression on his face told me that it was from those men. He said, “Okay, I will go now.”The Alpha played smart here and decided to attend the video call from the investigation room. Not only was there a camera to record everything, even we could watch everything unfold through the one way mirror. Before the call, Draven made sure to alter the investigation room to look more like a hotel room. He did not want the kidnappers to get the hint that we were already in talks with the cops.I was shivering involuntarily watching all of this unfold, and Alex was always there to tell me that it was alright and that we would find the kids. I didn't even have the strength in me to respond to him, all I did was nod mindlessly while my eyes were hooked on Draven.He sat down on the chair and opened the laptop in front of him. His fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a symphony out of the clicking

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Video call to the kids

    Emma's POVThe tension in the air was suffocating as I paced the small room, my heart racing in sync with my restless thoughts. The kids…Draven…The pack…Everything was in shambles, all because of me. I looked at Draven, he had been silent since the call was hung up. It was worrying me more and more. I have always seen him as a man who was clear about his next move, it was my first time seeing him so clueless. It was haunting me.Alex stood by my side protectively, even though he was bleeding he refused to leave me alone. I know he was blaming himself deep down as well. Just then I saw Robin walk into the room, his pace as brisk as always.“Alpha!” He greeted Draven who was silently staring at his phone.The man nodded his head in acknowledgment and asked, “Do we have anything?”Robin nodded and said, “They were smart and kept their IP bouncing but we managed to find their location. They are in the forest near the pack.”My eyes widened, a flicker of hope piercing through the dark

This is family business.”The mutt did not say anything but he did not break eye contact either. It was as if he was challenging me.Before I could say anything, Emma spoke up in her meek voice, “Let's not do this here…”I gave Alex a scornful look before asking Emma why she did not heed my order and come back to the pack. The Emma I have known for so long was not this irresponsible and definitely not someone who would put our kids at risk. I was desperate to know what changed.“I did not know it was serious.”Did not think it was serious? I did not know how to react to it. How can a summon given to the entire pack by the Alpha himself not be of importance? Why would anyone think it was not important unless…My eyes widened in shock as I realised.

  • I Became An Alpha After Divorce   Torturing her and myself

    Draven's POVThe sound of the private jet’s engines faded as I descended the steps onto the Hawaiian tarmac, my strides purposeful and my mind consumed with worry. I didn't even have the time to properly pack or prepare. The moment I got to know that the children were missing, everything else had ceased to matter. Emma. The kids. My entire focus was on finding them and bringing them home. The sun blazed overhead, its warmth doing nothing to thaw the ice in my veins. As I approached the sleek black SUV waiting to take me to Emma’s resort from where the kids had vanished, Robin jogged up beside me. His phone was in his hand and his serious face was grim. "I just got the word." Robin said, falling into step, “Miss Whitemane has been arrested."I froze as his words didn’t register at first, "What did you just say?""Arrested.” Robin repeated, "Apparently, she caused a scene trying to find the kids. Police didn’t take kindly to it."My jaw tightened, the veins in my neck throbbing. A

    Draven's POVThe scout barely had time to catch his breath as he came rushing into my cabin, “Alpha, we have an emergency.”The panic on his face was evident and I looked at Robin wordlessly. This matter seemed to require my urgent attention, so I hung up on the call and looked at him, “What happened!”The scout caught his breath and said, “We have new intel about the Rogues.”My eyebrows furrowed themselves and my ears perked up. It was never good news when it was about the Rogues.“They are rallying up into an organized force this time, not the usual scatterbrained attacks. Worse, they have a new benefactor, someone powerful enough to pull their strings.”“What?” Robin was shook. Someone was helping the Rogues? Why would anyone want to help those sinister, good for nothing?I inquired, “Are we positive?”“Yes. We are positive.” The scout, “Whatever they are planning, it is huge.”The implications were clear: danger wasn’t lurking in the shadows anymore; it was at the gates.I didn’

    Emma's POVA lump formed in my throat, and before I could stop myself, I rushed forward. "Please... don’t hurt them." I cried, my voice shaking as I reached for Draven's phone. He held it firmly, keeping it out of my grasp, but his expression faltered, just for a second. I saw the conflict in his eyes—his desire to stay calm for me, to protect me from this nightmare, but also the terrifying certainty that this wasn’t a bluff. "Give it to me.” I pleaded, my hands trembling as I reached for the phone again. "Please… let me talk to them. Please…"Draven turned to me, his gaze softening just for a moment, "Emma," he said, his voice a quiet command, “Let me take care of this, okay?” He wasn’t angry, nor was he trying to silence me. But there was something in his eyes that told me he needed to keep control. He needed to remain steady, to be the pillar I had always seen him as. My hands dropped to my sides, my fingers clenched into fists as I tried to swallow my rising panic. I nodded,

    Emma's POV“Alpha Draven. I heard your kids are gone.”A shock ran through me, paralyzing my limbs for a split second. My breath caught and my pulse quickened as I processed his words inside my head. I looked up at Draven, my eyes wide and my heart beating louder with every passing second. I don't know why but whenever something like this happens, I always look up to study his reaction.The man was still, almost unnervingly calm, but there was something in his posture that made my skin crawl. I watched his eyes darken, and this told me that I was not overthinking anything; this call was actually what my gut was telling me it was.I was not ready for it…Alex saw my reaction and he stepped forward to stand next to me. He put his arm on my shoulder protectively, silently telling me not to worry."Who are you?" he asked, his voice colder than ice, a clear warning to the person on the other end of the line.
