**Emily’s POV**Rage. All I saw and felt was a red blinding rage. It coursed through my body violently, in waves strong enough to knock me down in normal circumstances.This wasn’t a normal circumstance as I just caught my mate going at it with some random woman only a few days after I was gone. Gone on a trip that he had practically forced me to.Thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but think that he had tried to get rid of me for a few days only for him to have enough time to frolic around with his mistress.An angry scream suddenly tore out of the back of my throat, which made everyone around the corridor turn to look at me in shock. They were probably this shocked because I had been the bubbling ever smiling one only a few minutes ago and now I was looking as though my world had come crashing down before my eyes.I quickly stormed to my room, ignoring their intense stares but I also felt Mary run after me.As soon as I got into my room, I left the door ajar for Mary to come in a
**Emily’s POV**Several misshapen Images played before my eyes like a broken stereo tape; even some of them played and replayed over and over again as if they were trying to pass some sort of secret message across to me.One of them caught my attention though, and it was one of Alexander in his office with a particularly beautiful blondie straddling him on his office chair while he in turn did tons of r-rated things to her body. The scene playing out in front of me sent wild angry shivers down the length of my body, infuriating me even more than I already was.I paid a closer look to her face to discover that she wasn’t even the same blondie that I had seen in his office only a few minutes ago, and in fact, this one had a softer look to her eyes than the one I last saw.He sure had a thing for blondes.Several more scenes played out in front of me, ranging from Alexander in bed with a lady to one where he was scolding and literally squeezing the life out of her neck while I stood the
**Emily’s POV**“Who are you?” I asked, still in shock. I could hear her muffled giggles in my head and I winced, desperately looking for a way to shut out the noise, but all my efforts seemed fruitless as her voice resounded over and over in my head until I was sure I would go crazy.“I’m Ariel…your wolf.” She replied in a manner that had traces of giggles lined in every word.Oh wow, I had a wolf too? Like those ugly beastly things that Alpha Alexander had almost turned into?“I never knew I had a—” I started saying but stopped halfway when Mary’s voice cut through the fog in my head.“Em, I think you would have to be taken to Alpha Alexander’s room tonight; your room’s a mess and you can’t sleep here.” She said, looking at me with eyes that seemed almost…sympathetic?I could notice the look she shared with me and I could say that she obviously wasn’t in support of me sleeping there either but at the same time, couldn’t invite me over to hers.I didn’t want to sleep over at Alexand
**Alexander’s POV**I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t work and couldn’t even bring myself to do anything else aside from thinking about Emily and how she had been avoiding me ever since.The way she had looked at me earlier had made my heart throb painfully in my chest as I could make out obvious dislike in her clear eyes.I knew she was disappointed in me, even hated me now and all but I had to explain why I had done what I did to her. I couldn’t live with this; I couldn’t live with the fact that she hated me and no longer wanted to have anything to do with me.I slowly pranced around the confines of my office whilst kicking at everything in my way; I was restless and so was Ajax, my wolf who howled nonstop in my mind.I wanted to shift too, to run into the wolf, and to probably go hunting as that was the only thing I could think of to keep Ajax busy before he made me run mad.I was still so lost in thoughts when I suddenly heard a shuffling sound in the distance which snapped me out of my
**Alexander’s POV**I could feel myself getting lightheaded from fear, and no matter how hard I tried to shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen to Emily, I couldn’t.My heart pounded in my chest as I hastily dashed out of the house, in the direction of the river as I went in search of that thing that screamed in a voice that was so much like that of Emily.It was extremely dark out and there were no traces of life; not even that of animals. I squinted into the dark, cursing at the moon for not providing the earth with enough light this night and at the same time, remembering how stupid I was for coming out here alone without informing any of my security personnel.“EMILY!” I yelled into the darkness over and over again but no reply came forth.It almost felt like I had imagined the scream I heard and that I was just being paranoid over little things, but the fact that she wasn’t in her room by this time of the night stood as a gentle reminder, it frightened me.
**Emily’s POV**I stood rooted to the floor, and in shock. I couldn’t quite fathom why Alpha Alexander was acting the way he did or why he was suddenly behaving like he had seen a ghost.Another thing that drew my concern was the fact that he was refusing to leave, even after he had successfully escorted me to my room. He looked like he didn’t want to leave me alone, and in a way I didn’t want to be left on my own either.I took in his overall drenched appearance quizzically and when he still wouldn’t say a word about what was happening, I went on to ask, “Why are you wet?”He suddenly snapped his bowed head up to look at me with an expression I hadn’t seen on him before, but then looked down at his wet clothes before shrugging.“I went into the River. I thought you were in it.” He replied slowly, his voice came out as hushed whispers as if he was quite afraid of waking the people around the house up.I was shocked at his utterance and also confused as to why he would think that I we
**Emily’s POV**Several weary thoughts scattered and rearranged severally in my head that I couldn’t even lay my fingers on; there were some that I didn’t even know what they were but just stayed in my head, occupying space..My body and head ached painfully, making droplets of tears leak out of my eyes on their own accord. I didn’t feel too great either as my stomach hurt too; but what bugged me the most was the restlessness I felt in my heart.I felt like the was something missing, a huge chunk of myself missing that I had to get back; I also felt like there were certain things I ought to know, some very important information that I needed but just cannot find the right person to help me with it.I had just woken up from a sleep plagued with nightmares, and I couldn’t help but think that it could be the reason I was in such a very bad and restless mood.I desperately needed answers; answers to why I had the weirdest of dreams every night but still cannot remember a thing from my pas
**Alexander’s POV**The fierce banter going on between Emily and Rosie had me stopping in my tracks just before I was about to walk into my office.I wondered what they were both doing in my office by this time of the day but was more bothered by the fact that Emily had been made to cross paths with Rosie again in my office, seeing as she had been a major issue between us for a while now. My heart skipped a beat at the prospect of seeing Emily again after a few weeks but at the same time, I wondered why Rosie just had to be in my office at a time like this.She was the last person I wanted to see right now, and I pondered about what might’ve brought her here today when we had no business to discuss.I quickly straightened my tuxedo, and was about to walk up to them when Rosie uttered a statement that had me freezing all over;“Of course I will, especially now that I am a few weeks pregnant and he’s responsible.” She said sharply.My breath immediately hitched at her utterance and I c
