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
NATALIA:I halted, biting my lower lips, and then I turned around to see Christian still waiting for me. I could feel my heart pounding against my chest because I was about to say something that I had in mind for years now.Although I didn't see it as the right time to tell him how I really felt, I had to because I had this feeling someone else would definitely try to get close to him.I turned around to stare at him. Swallowing a lump of saliva, and summoning enough courage, I opened my mouth to speak up, but then the right words were failing to come out as I stared at his deep brown eyes. I swallowed another lump of saliva unable to take my gaze away from his eyes."Are you just going to keep staring at me?" His words made me realize that I was making a fool of myself the more I was only staring at him without saying a word and so I cleared my throat to speak up."I….I…"My heartbeat increased even more as I tried to say something.Taking a deep breath in, I folded my hands togethe
CHRISTIAN:"You heard? I have some of my men looking around for her, but she's nowhere to be found yet.""What exactly happened?" "We were attacked by some rogues, and I was taken unaware. I have no idea what was used on me, but I passed out even before I could protect Emily. When I woke up, she was gone."My hands clenched, and I took in a deep breath to calm myself down. "You don't recognize any of the rogues?" I questioned, and he shook his head in negation. "Why did Emily meet with you in the first place? Don't try to hide anything from me because I need every little detail I can get to find her."He was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "About Tyler. She was worried about Tyler, and she came to ask about him."I arched my brows in surprise because to me it felt like Killian was lying. "Are you lying to me?""Why would I lie to you? I want Emily to be found as soon as possible just like you do and so I have no reason to hide. I would like to find those fucking bastard and tear
