Killian's number was something I didn't forget because we were much closer. As I brought my phone out, I quickly dialed his number.Although I had told myself that I wasn't going to get myself involved in anything about my past. Apart from Anita, I badly wanted every other thing gone forever, but today I had no idea why I wanted to find out what was going on with Tyler."Hey," I started and suddenly became quiet because I found myself contemplating whether to say the words that I had in mind or not."Who's this, please?' I heard Killian's voice multiple times, but I still didn't reply. My heart was racing so fast, and somehow I was scared of nothing."Killian." I suddenly called his name without expecting him to recognize my voice immediately, but he did. "Emily? Is that you?"Even I was shocked. I smiled for only a few seconds and answered, "Yes Killian, it's me."I could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke to me. "Where are you, I'll come to you immediately."What I had in m
KAREN POV:I stepped out of the room and began heading straight for the kitchen. Since I heard everything Tyler and his mother said, I didn't step out of my room because I had a lot to think about.Was it just me, or was my feelings for Tyler hurting me even more after I heard what he had said?He wasn't going to give up on Emily? That was fucking bullshit. All my life, I had always lived in the shadow of my step-siblings. That was always what my father made me do.My mother, who was his Luna after his first Luna had died, was treated like a slave while I was younger, and she always tried her very best to keep me safe from the cold hands of my father and my heartless step-siblings who always derived joy in bullying me.I got to the kitchen, and since I was thirsty, brought out a glass and filled it with water.After gulping down everything, I decided to calm myself down and think about everything I've been through just to be where I am.Love? Father would murder me and have my head on
EMILY: "Hey, are you alright?" This was the 10th time I was asking Anita this question. She rolled her eyes at me like she always does without giving me a reply, but even after I got a reply the previous times I asked her, I still wasn't assured and I kept worrying about her."I'm gonna hit you if you ask me that question one more time." I chuckled. "Stop kidding me, Anita. I know how much you're holding up, but you aren't too good at hiding pain, you never were.""I just woke up, Emily, and so I ought to feel even a little pain. I'll heal, I promise." I took her hand and held it in mine, smiling, "I thought I'd lost you forever Anita." I was trying hard not to cry because I knew she would scold me if I did. "I'm so sorry I didn't come to look for you after what Alexander did to you. I didn't come to check up on you, and for that I'm sorry."She was silent."What happened?" She asked after a moment of silence. I didn't know if she was asking about what happened to me and Tyler or
KAREN:After I barged into the room and slammed the door, I walked to the bed and lay on it, taking a pillow in front of me and tossing it aside."Fuck!"I could feel so much irritation. Was I less important to everybody in my life? I scoffed aloud when I suddenly recalled Tyler, and all of a sudden, Emily came to my mind. How the hell did she not die?The fucking moon goddess!When I heard my phone ringing, I rose from the bed and headed towards the table to pick it up. It was my father calling. At first, I thought of ignoring his calls, but that would only mean trouble, and I had no idea what he would do to my mother if I avoided his calls.I answered the call and placed the phone close to my ear. "Dad.""You need to come home tomorrow, Karen." His cold voice sounded on the phone, and where I was standing, I rolled my eyes. Only I knew how deeply I hated this man to my bones, and how much I would love to see him dead."Dad, I…""No stupid excuse lady, come home tomorrow or the next
KAREN POV:I hurried down the stairs, with my car keys dangling as I ran. It was only 43 minutes left else I would lose my mother for good. Tears rolled down my eyes, but I rubbed it clean when I spotted Tyler's mom seated on the longest sofa.I ignored her but as I was about to unlock the door and step out, she called my name leading me to turn around to give her attention."Where the hell are you going with that child in your womb?""It's none of your business where I'm going to. I'm not a prisoner here, and so I have every right to go wherever I want to go."I opened the door and walked out of the room, ignoring her yells which were so irritating especially because I was so very concerned about my mother and I was fucking working with time here.I got into the car and ignited the engine, and the only thing that came to my mind was to fucking speed out of the house, and so did I."D...dad… dad," I called as I ran into the mansion. My heart was racing so fast, and I had even forgotte
ALPHA TYLER:As I stepped into my office, I took off my suit jacket and dropped it on my seat. Releasing a deep breath I made to sit down when the door was forced open without a Knock"Fuck!" I groaned as I saw Zane walk in. "I fucking just had a stressful meeting 3 minutes ago, so no Zane. Whatever you have for me, cancel everything so I can rest." "I'm afraid that would be impossible, Alpha." He said, making me stare at him with cold eyes as I recalled he had just barged in without even knocking."What the hell is it?""There are two problems, and it's urgent. He walked closer to me, and handed me photos.""Why is Emily with Killian?""That's not the only thing Alpha, she was attacked earlier, and we have no idea where she is right now."I rose to my feet. "Where the fuck was Killian when Emily was being taken?""He also had no idea what happened. Most of the people you instructed to look out for her also had no idea what happened or who had attacked them earlier."I hit the table
EMILY:When I opened my eyes, I found myself close to a cliff. Fear gripped me immediately and I crawled towards where I knew I would be safe with my heart racing so fast, I shut my eyes so I would be able to think for a second.What the fucking hell happened?How long have I been here?I had nothing on me except my clothes. My wristwatch, keys, money and purse were gone. Then, I began to recall what happened. I was in a restaurant having a word with Killian when suddenly we were attacked. My heart suddenly skipped another beat when I thought about Killian.What the hell happened? I knew he would never let them take me until they hurt him. So that meant he was hurt. My phone was gone too and when I tried to rise to my feet, I fell down halfway up already and groaned in a slight pain."Fuck!!'Christian would be so worried about me, especially because I didn't let him know where I was heading to earlier. With all the strength I could gather, I rose to my feet, and began to walk unstead
CHRISTIAN:I continued to wait, and most times I would go into Anita's ward to check of Emily was back or not. I simply had this strong feeling that she wasn't safe wherever she was right now, but since I had not even an idea where she went to earlier, I didn't know where to start my search from.I walked back into mu office, and stared at the wall clock. It was almost 10, and yet Emily wasn't back. Two hours ago, I was supposed to leave with Lilith, but I just couldn't. Not without seeing for myself that she's back, and safe."Fuck"As I dropped the papers back, there was a knock on my door."Come in.""Here's the patient in room 305 files. I got it as you requested."I nodded my head and signaled her to drop it on my table. Before she walked out of my office, I ensured it was exactly what I needed by briefing through it."You can leave now." I didn't bother to raise my head and stare at her walk away but once the door was closed, I opened the files and began to look at them one aft
