**Emily’s POV**Ethan smiled at me and I managed a small smile whereas I wanted to draw out a sword and pierce his freaking disgusting heart.His father killed my parents, made me a freaking orphan and he had the nerve to smile at me.He fúcking had the nerve to even stare at me.I drew in a staggering breath to calm myself, then glanced away from him.For the rest of the meeting, I concentrated on the meeting, rather than him.My head ached and I shivered continuously from fear. I felt like I was about to pee on myself as I couldn’t help but notice the incessant long stares Prince Ethan threw my way.I wasn't sure if he recognized me, not if his father still wanted me dead.But I was afraid. It was obvious yet I was trying hard to downplay it.I breathed out a sigh of relief I never knew I was holding when the meeting came to an abrupt halt, and all of the aides including myself were sent out of the room.Just as I was about to leave with the other slaves, Alexander clasped my hand a
**Emily’s POV**I smiled to myself for the remaining hours of the day.Even Ariel was as excited as I was. She mentioned she might have had her first real encounter with Alexander’s wolf. But she wasn't certain and was only joyous as Alexander rescued me.I sighted him coming towards me and I waved at her. "The Alpha wants to see you, Emily."“What for?” I asked, feigning confusion. I didn’t want to give my overly excited state away.“I don’t know,” she answered, picking at her nails, “He only asked me to send for you.”“Uhm okay!” I squeaked out.I was kind of excited and nervous at the same time. I didn't know the reason Alexander wanted to see me. But, I hoped it wouldn't be awful.I noticed the pointed look Mary tossed my way, but I ignored her and focused my attention back on what I was doing earlier— mopping.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” She shrieked at me, making me look up at her in shock.“What do you mean?” I asked with a frown; “I am mopping the floor for fuc
**Emily’s POV**The kiss only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away. I frowned, staring up at him. "What's the matter?"His expression was as unreadable as ever and he let out a grunt.I felt embarrassed. I shouldn't have let him kiss me. He must be thinking I was cheap.Maybe I was since I did everything I wouldn't do with anyone with him.But then, he wasn't just anyone. He was my mate.It was the reason I was giving myself to him aside from wanting him.Nonetheless, I feel embarrassed.“I don’t know why I’m about to help you avenge your people,” He said, frowning, “Maybe it’s because of our mate bond."Alexander twisted his lips at the last sentence.I knew he heard an aversion for the word and had almost punished me the first day I said so.But, I didn't enjoy seeing the disgust on his face."But don’t take my kindness as me accepting the moon goddess’s decision and accepting you as my mate.”Another rejection. And it hurts even more than the first one.We fúcked several tim
**Emily’s POV**“Bitch, let go!” He howled in pain. Malcolm slapped at my hands and I let go of him."Being a girl doesn't make me weak," I said, standing in his line of vision.He glared at me, twisting his arms.“Do you still need to train with that stunt you just pulled?” He asked.“I do actually,” I replied, a grin beginning to form on my face.I guessed he saw that I wasn't weak. That was the reason he was accepting for me to train. “Fighting you was done on impulse. I didn’t know I had that much strength in me.”“We’d just allow you to fight on impulse then.” He let out, massaging his arm.“No!" I yelled. "I really don’t know what came over me!”He laughed and I joined him in the laughter. He was like the chauffeur I met earlier. They seemed to have the same personality. I believe Malcolm and I would get along well.“I shouldn’t be allowed to fight on impulse, it’ll be a disastrous battle!” I giggled. “Why do you want to learn how to fight?” He asked, staring at me in a way I
**Alexander’s POV**“Emily!” I shouted, shoving Sophia away from my lap but she wouldn’t budge.I turned to glare at her but she still didn't move an inch. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Emily walk out of my office angrily, without waiting to listen to what I had to say.I gritted my teeth and glowered at Sophia. “Get off me!” Sophia flinched and jumped off in fright.“What the hell?!” She yelled. “Is that slave the reason you’ve been telling me off for the past few weeks? Is she the reason you’ve suddenly decided to stop picking up my calls and answering my texts?!”I was beyond pissed at her, at the mention of the word, ‘slave’“Get out,” I murmured. My head was beginning to ache from her relentless rants.“No!" Sophia countered. "You have to explain to me why she suddenly got your attention when I’ve been trying to get it for the past few minutes?!”The veins on her neck popped and her blue eyes narrowed.“How come she can just waltz in and boom! You’re no longer too busy?!
**Emily’s POV**Alexander was like me? It was unbelievable the more I thought about it.I hadn't heard anyone say he could use such powers aside from the werewolf powers.But he was saying it and he wasn't even joking. I tried so hard to believe him but I couldn't.I stared at him so hard and my eyes narrowed, awaiting him to burst out laughing.Instead, his grey eyes twinkled.I jumped as I heard a vibration close to me. My eyes rounded as I glimpsed my bed levitating. I glanced from my hand to Alexander and I was aware I wasn't the one controlling it.He was right after all.“I can hear people’s thoughts too.” He said.“If you can hear people’s thoughts, how come you didn’t read mine when we first met, to know if I was a spy sent to you or not?”“I didn’t because I was desperately trying to shut you out. You know, I didn’t want a mate, it comes with tons of vulnerability and such…” He trailed off and I noticed his eyes were distant and sad.I didn't know what he was thinking about
**Emily’s POV**“Mark me, Alexander,” I said again, thinking he probably didn’t hear me the first time.“No Emily, I can’t.” He said, rolling off me.You’ve got to be kidding me!“What do you mean by you can’t?” I asked.My brows furrowed as I watched him slip into his clothes.One minute he was thrusting into me, the next minute he didn't want to make me.Or he couldn't. Whatever it was, I did not understand what was going on.“Because I just can’t!” He exclaimed, tossing his hands in the air.He had worn his clothes, it was even faster than I could imagine. The more I stared at the worried expression on his face, the more confused I was.“And you’re not going to try to tell me why?” My voice broke.“Like I have to explain my actions to you.” He snapped, throwing a dirty look my way.I wasn’t sure if it was his reply or the look in his eyes that made me feel this way, but I was furious.“Wait, is this what I’ve suddenly become?” I asked, tears beginning to well in my eyes. "A freaki
**Alexander’s POV**Emily was in danger. That was the first thing that came to my mind as I felt the sharp pain in my side.I had been feeling some pain but I ignored them all. I thought I could do the same all day but it had been intense. I had gone searching for her and received the news of her being unconscious.I clenched my fists as I stared at her pale face.I partly blamed myself. Yes, I fúcking blame myself because if I hadn't ignored her as if she was trash, she would not be lying almost lifeless in front of me.Again, I didn't know what I felt for Emily. It was strange. I still didn't think a mate should be given to anyone when he or she could make a choice.But, I found myself feeling strange with her. A strange feeling I couldn't wrap my hands around.“From the several tests we conducted on her, I realized she was two weeks gone…” My doctor, Patrick said, looking down at her.I bit back a curse as I gazed at him. Shit! She was with a child?!How the fúck was I not aware?!
